IN THE LAND OF THE BLACK SHADOW PACK....She had looked at him with different eyes than the ones he had gotten used to.He'd started to ease into her welcoming and familiar gaze, but not this. Again, she became guarded. He could feel the non-existing wall building on top of the one that had already been there. That clearly bothered him and he couldn't deny it.Thankfully, none of those around him that noticed, mentioned anything. It hung dry in the air.When he'd introduced her as a friend to his father, he'd realised after some time that he meant it. In the beginning, it had come as a surprise to both of them but it didn't feel out of place. Time had been short, he hadn't known her for long and yet, being around her felt like he was meant to be in her presence. The heir of the Black Shadow Pack, who had faced some of the worst experiences known in their world, was bothered so much by the way a new comer in town had looked at him. It should have not lingered in mind and marinate itse

A content smile paints my face when I feel arms wrap around my waist. " Now this is a perfect morning for me." He says in my ear, his breath brushing against my ear." A perfect morning huh?" I ask, looking at him through the mirror." You're the first person I woke up to this morning, it's good enough for me." My face warms up when last night comes into mind. My eyes drop to my feet and I bite on my bottom lip, holding back from saying something until I figure out a way to word things properly. I don't want to sound weird." Muffin?" " Hmm?" I answer, not budging. " I have something I want to tell you." That calls for my attention. My eyes rise to the mirror and I look at him expectantly.This doesn't satisfy him and so, he tilts my head in a way our eyes meet." Now I've got your attention." He mumbles, eyes fleeting down to my lips briefly before he looks into my eyes again.And I thought he had something on his mind." What have you been thinking about?" Is he seriously goin

TWO WEEKS LATER....' I have been dreaming things that don't make sense to me. I hear things on repeat like a song, in my head. Not only that, but I saw that man again. He came by my house. He doesn't know that I've known he's been watching me. I wonder why he shows up at those times, when I hear someone call for me in my dreams.'The passage I have gone through, is among the early entries in my journal.The transaction from short notes to longer notes, shows that I had more to share as I grew older.I recognised a mistake I made then. I never wrote the dates but was quick to pour out everything on paper. Other entries show that I rushed through my notes at times, I scribbled a lot.I have made it my mission to go back in time and start reading through my journal entries. I started doing this a few days ago. My gut tells me that the journal is incomplete. I feel like this journal is a continuation on my growing years.Another one exists but I have no clue where to look for it.I don't

" She's fine, just resting." I wake up to the view of Alan on call, his back facing me.I rub at my eyes-getting rid of sleep. I watch him the whole time until he glances over his shoulder at me. When he sees that I'm awake, he hangs up." You're finally awake," he says as he comes over to sit on the stool close to the bed." How long was I asleep?" I ask, looking around the medical room." 2 hours." My eyes snap to him, not believing I missed so much of school." That is a long time." I mumble while trying to sit up. " Hey, I'm not injured or anything," I say with an amused smile, stopping him when he tries to help me sit up." Right...." He sits back down, looking everywhere but at me.I notice his ears have turned red, which tells me he is a little embarrassed. He doesn't have to be, he was only being nice." Thank you for helping me." He nods." Casey?" He looks at me again." Hmm?" " There's something I wanted to talk to you about?" The door suddenly opens and in enters Ka

Her knees felt weak in the presence of such power. Her eyes were down cast, hands clenched at her side in a way to calm down her nerves and the fear, that creeped in through her body.After that call, she should have known that he would follow through, with a visit.His stare was unwavering, hitting her nerves.Selena could not keep eye contact for long. It felt impossible to do so. The power radiating off him intimidated her even more. Her life felt insignificant in his sight. He was one of the most charming and attractive, with a commanding presence that left you intimidated in their sight. Even if one didn't know who he was, being around him would give anyone an idea of what he possessed.Human or not, knees touched the ground in his presence.He carried himself in such a cool, composed and controlled manner yet had a way about him, that adjusted to any environment. On occasions, in the past, she'd witnessed sides of him that made her view him as some sort of chameleon.For a man
