 ~Look at my feet, look downThe shadow resembles meIs it the shadow that's shakingOr is it my feet that are tremblingOf course I'm not unafraidOf course it's not all okayBut I knowAwkwardly I flowI fly together with that black wind~                     - (BTS) ON----------- ----------- "Hurry Adriano! Quickly!" Exclaimed a very giddy Xenia as she ran through the woods with sheer excitement, her dark locks bouncing around her perfect face as a huge smile stretched over her delicate face.Meanwhile Stefanos grunted in response, feeling ashamed to have gotten tired so quickly.I should have gone hunting more often. Stefanos thought to himself bitterly

~You claim it's not in the cardsAnd fate is pullin' you miles awayAnd out of reach from meBut you're here in my heartSo who can stop me if I decideThat you're my destiny?~                   -(Zack Efron & Zendaya) Rewrite The Stars --- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- ---   The stench of cold blood had already seaped into the air when Stefanos and Xenia decided they had had enough for today. And when I say enough, I don't mean the meal they hunted, but enough of their wolves. It had been a few hours since the boar was attacked, mercilessly, must I mention and Stefanos had o

~At a dusky parkA nameless bird that singsWhere are youOh youWhy are you cryingYou and I are the only ones hereMe and youOh you~ - BTS(V&RM), Four O'clock--- --- --- --- --- --- ---The tiny and crooked house basked in silence once Stefanos was done telling his story, safe for the distant chiming of the church bell.But even after the bell had stopped chiming, the silence continued, until it started getting awkward for Stefanos. Because not only had he shared his pitiful past with the Omega, but had also broken down.But now that he peeked a glance at her and found her very much concentrated on a loose thread on her skirt, Stefanos realized just how foolish he had been.He had come here, of all places, and ranted out. And Alpha ranting to an Omega.What will Xenia think of me now? I couldn't defend myself from those high wolves in the park, nor did I know how to hunt in human form. And here I am, crying like a pathetic five year old. Just what was I thinking?S

~From all the memories stored in my heartI gather up the ones of you, link them togetherGazing at them projected across the roomI feel you with every burst of pain~ -(BTS) Film Out Slowly but surely, Stefanos begin taking in his surroundings. He noticed the four poster oak bed, the table at the furthest corner, the door to the closet that had been once turquoise, but had faded in the years. Stefanos also knew that there had been an array of pots with various saplings on the large window seal, but none of that is there now. He also knows that there had been a dresser and a full length mirror, but none of that remains either. How did he know all that you ask? Simple. This was his room before he was sent away. And it seemed like Keke already knew that, and that's why he left him here. That sly wolf. At least he should have gotten the room dusted then. Stefanos thought to himself with gritted teeth, dropping the photograph of his childhood an

~You're still shiningYou still smell like a flowerNow trust me, hold me againSo I can feel you, hold me~               -(BTS) Hold Me Tight---- ---- ----- ---- --- ---- ---- ---- The ride back home for Stefanos was silent, but nothing peaceful. As he leaned his head against the cold glass of the carriage door, Stefanos shut his eyes, trying to ease his thoughts from running wild.With his mask still pulled over his face, Stefanos breathed out heavily through the mouth, while the carriage jostled due to the rickety road which meant they were closing in on the village.“We are here,
