ARTHUR’S POV“What was that? I mean who is she?” Samantha asked as she watched Jeremy carried the human girl away.I stared at her wondering if now was the right time to tell her everything.“Wait...” she sniffed the air and then her eyes rested on me, peering. “The girl being carried out stinks of human blood…”I shrugged. How had I had forgotten the power Samantha possesses as a werewolf. One of the strongest she wolves in my pack. Her sense of smell was great and her strength beyond words. Reason why I loved her.“Arthur…I’m right huh…she is human, what is a human doing here, right under your nose?” she asked, bewildered.“It just happened. Jeremy will take her back home. Come on let’s head back in.” I rounded her to start walking back to my room.“She is your mate.” She dropped as I walked past her.The words boomed behind me and caused me to halt in my tracks. I couldn’t hear any other sound as Samantha’s words reverberated in my head.She walked to where I stood.“Arthur, she is

But in reality he was staring into blankness. His facial features are hardened and his thoughts deep.A servant came to inform him his parents has demanded to see him. He waved the servant off, sat still for a little while before he finally stood, thrashed the pipe, and started heading back in after grabbing a towel and hung across his shoulder. He marched straight to his room and changed into a more befitting wear after which he headed down to meet his parents.He walked into the house to see his parents already seated. A closer look told him it wasn’t just his parents sitting.

Eleanor broke into a full run after she got out of the hospital. The thought of having her family see her as a monster broke her heart. She thought of going to Elisa but her head wasn’t having it. She couldn’t afford to hurt another person. She wanted to be away from everyone and alone. And so she ran, breathlessly down the street. Even as she ran, the restlessness she felt kept tugging at her chest. She kept having this feeling of a being in her but she strongly shut her head against it.She screeched to a stop at a convenience store, dashed in and grabbed a bottled water from the display shelf and walked to the sales counter. She noticed the moment she stepped into the place and headed for the water section, she got unusual stares from people also buying stuff. Eleanor ignored them, she has had a lot for the day to care about people’s stupid stares.She grabbed the water and walked down to the sales counter.“Here.” she dropped the water on the counter and waited for the lady to sca

ELEANOR’S POV I heard Elisa’s last words to me as I parted with her. I was angry, mad but above all sad that my trusted friend had been lying to me all along.

It was that strange tiny voice in me again, always sounding as if it was part of me, as though it knew anything about me. I grounded my teeth and forced myself to not hear the voice. “Aren’t you ever curious why you grew u
