SOMA: Cassie has frustrated me to the core. And there was no doubt about how it has already eaten me up that I have to give in to her demand about telling her what is supposedly going on between Luis and me. I stand up to my feet just so I could avoid the stare that comes with her ‘I knew it’ attitude. She hasn’t done it yet, but I know she would eventually so it was better I avoid it now. My back was already turned against her when she speaks: “So, he’s truly your mate and not one of your flings?” The question has me turning to look at her in bewilderment. What does she make of me? A hoe? “Why would you even say that?” Disgust is coiled around my tongue when the words get out of my mouth. “Because I know you like the back of my palm,” “Since you claim to know me well, have

SOMA:   “Hello... am I on to Luna Hailey?”   My breath hitches from how nervous I am. Even my hands are shaking, especially my right hand that has my phone directed towards my ear. This should be easy, shouldn’t it?   “Yes, you are. And who am I speaking with?” came the voice from the end of the line. Definitely a female’s voice which has a lot of hesitation coupled with it. Yeah, it would be weird for someone unfamiliar to call me while mentioning the title I own in my territory that should be kept confidential.   “Uhm, this is Soma Walters. From the Blood Crescent pack.” I respond, and the brief silence that ensues after has me tapping my fingers on the desk in front of me.   “Soma Walters? The Alpha?”   “Yes, it’s me.” was my affirmative response while nodding alongside.   Immediately, familiarity comes with the tone of the recipient a

LUIS: I have no idea why Soma is here, but the expression on her face when both of our eyes meet might have said something about her intent. With the way it is, it might be something about this being a plan of hers to get to see me. The thought of that has my mind going in disarray, and I don’t mean it in a bad way. I could be wrong, though. But ever since that day at her office, we have not had the chance to communicate because I did not drop any means of reaching out to her. And neither did she. No one was even informed about a possible meeting between the two alphas. This then would be the only way. This also means my analysis could be correct. To avoid any attention to me, especially after seeing the Luna there with her — and, yeah, her sister too — I make a turn away from the direction I was initially going. It would be better I do that because Soma could very well make it obvious something was occ

SOMA: Crickets chirping. Halfmoon glowing. And the only being with actual flesh and blood walking about under the shade of nighttime is me. Might be dark everywhere but lights were provided to hide one through. Without any of that, I know I could still find my way about the place. Only that I could get lost once or twice because I am not too familiar with the premises. I wasn’t the only one out. Not at all. A few times, since I stepped out of the room assigned to me which has Cassie in it as well, I’ve come in contact with a few warriors acting as guards around here. Asides from the fact that most of them would recognize me for my identity, I wasn’t walking about in an ungodly hour. So since it has been all good. Desperation or whatever. I can’t say for sure what’s my giving for heading out to seek the man that got me all worked up... again. Again, a

SOMA: The serenity — yes, that’s what I like about where I’m in. Feels divine and every other satisfying word I can use to quantify this place. Music hitting out solemnly from obviously a jukebox. Nah, jukeboxes because the effect seems to be from more than one despite the solemness of it all. The activities of people trying to get their night kicked off with a meal or two alongside their partners, as well as the waiters and waitresses trying to meet up with the demand of the clients — that was everything about my location. Not for a long talk, because I’ve affirmed now that I’m in a restaurant. And like every other client, I was with a partner. To sum it up, I was brought here on a date which I would say is the first in years. Came like a shock to me in some way when I received a call from Luis yesterday stating he would like to take me out for dinner so we could
