My feet are tired and painful. The breeze is gashing into my body like arrows that the wind had shot. It creeps into my skin until it reaches the depths of me. And it hurts to be running non-stop on this freezing and windy night."I have to keep going. Otherwise, I will end up dead," I keep telling myself whenever I feel tired.I don't know where I am now. I kept going when my brother told me to run and never looked back. Killian, my brother, I wonder if he escaped the ten werewolves that were after us. Remembering him wounded but still fighting just to save me made me want to cry. I lost my mom and dad five days back, and now probably my brother, too. I am enraged and sorrowful from the pack we have served diligently. But this is how they repay us. They are taking our lives one by one.Suddenly, my feet felt wobbly, making me stumble onto the ground. And just as I was about to stand up, something jumped on me. I fought back, and we rolled on the ground. But because

I sunk on the chair. I couldn't eat anymore as my appetite disappeared. "Killian, where are you? Find me, please!" I whispered with the hope that my brother could hear it. I felt helpless, so I cried without care whether someone would listen to or see me. After a few minutes, I made a decision. I will not take the offer Reule had given. Instead, I would choose to surrender to Conri. I wanted to see if my brother was still alive and waiting for me there. And hope that I could convince Conri of just banishing us both instead of killing us.I stood and pushed the chair. I rushed back upstairs, wanting to find Reule. I went to the room where I slept but did not find him.I walked to the hall and heard the voices of two people talking. I went to the third room from the room where I came from. The door was left slightly ajar, so I peep into the small opening.There I saw Reule talking to a lady. I could not see her face as it was her back facing the door. But sh

I woke up because I could feel the rays of the sun on my face. I did not open the window last night, so how come? I tried to open my eyes, and when it did, I was startled. I saw a shirtless man standing beside the window, looking at me.I almost jumped in fear. Reule was standing there, and his stormy gray eyes felt like he was undressing me on his head."Oh, sorry! I did not mean to wake you this way. I don't want the food to be cold, and it's already ten in the morning," Reule reasoned."You did not learn how to knock?" I said, annoyed at what he did."I did. I tried knocking thrice and left when you did not open. But on the fourth time, I decided to open the door. You sleep like a dead person.""Sorry! I must have not fully recovered from exhaustion.""I thought of that, too. How is your head?""It doesn't hurt anymore. Thank you!""Good! I will just grab a shirt, but please come down to eat.""Okay, I will."Reule walked out of t

Nana Lolita took the initiative to introduce me to almost every lady of the pack. But except Lila, who did not like to be bothered while she was in a corner using her phone."What do you usually do during the evening run?" I asked."Well, Alpha Reule leads the run, and he split the group into two. He gives direction where each group goes, and we have to thoroughly check the entire forest and the area near where we lived for threats or anything unusual. Then we go back here and discuss what we have found. We have to tell the alpha anything, even something stupid, as long as it makes us doubt. For Reule, this is how we can protect each other from any threat and prepare for any enemy," Adriana explained."Has it happened that indeed you found something unusual?""Yes. It was during this time that humans had heard rumors about us. We have found some hunters in the forest, possibly thinking of catching one of us.""Were they successful?""No. Alpha Reule sto

One of the men suddenly came in front of Adriana and me. He was shirtless and good-looking. "Madam, Wren, may I have this dance with you?" he asked with a smile. And the song Careless Whisper suddenly played. It made me feel awkward. I wanted to decline him without offending him."Gideon, you are married. I saw your wife just went to the toilet. Why won't you wait for her to come back and dance Careless Whisper with her? I think it will be appropriate. Leave senorita, Wren, alone," Adriana said."Oh! Adriana, why did you tell her that I am married? Now, I lost my chance with her," Gideon said but laughed."My friend, stop fooling around. Don't make Katana upset and bite you later. You know how aggressive she can be when jealous.""Yeah! I better watch out. See you, then."Adriana was shaking and laughing when Gideon left. "That guy still acts like he is a bachelor. It drives Katana crazy.""I could understand that for a wife. I was about to tell h
