Perfect opportunity to strike
Words had a different kind of power, once said they could make a home in someone's mind. That's exactly what happened after Luca and I talked. He was suspicious about my relationship with Alpha Orion. I was not careful enough. I let the minor mistake happen...a mistake that could have cost not only me but so many others as well. *I could get you out of this hell.* His words were still ringing inside my ears. How could he say something like that? It was wrong, Alpha Orion was my soulmate. Luca was King's brother. Fingers would be pointed at the King and Eleanor by their people. Having a soulmate was so much more than just having a person by your side to greet others.Werewolves would not take this action lightly. I let out a sigh, putting the pillow on the bed once again after I felt like it was slightly toward the left and not in the center aligning with the rest. But what I left with Luca? No one knew about my relationship with Alpha Orion... according to his pack members I

You ruined everything
I slowly got up while keeping my eyes on the person standing behind me with anger and an accusing look on her face. Without letting her know I started searching for something I could use to defend myself in case she decided to attack me. The chances of her attacking were meager as Alpha was in the house and he could hear if I screamed, he might not come to help me immediately and it could be too late for me. "What is going on?" I created some distance between us. Her blue were staring at me like a lifeless doll without blinking, there were no emotions in them. "You... you ruined everything ever since you came here," she sneered. I gulped but tried my best not to show any signs of weakness but at the same time, I was showing her I was not a threat. If she thought I was going to attack her in order to defend myself she might attack and my nails had no comparison to her claws. "Mia," I remembered her name from the time Chelsea introduced us, "maybe this is a confusion. We can talk

Lies and rumors
"You seem distracted today."I looked away from the green grass to the girl who was making a crown from dandelions. She seemed busy in her own world with no worries about anything happening outside this forest. The frown of concentration on her forehead made me wonder how she noticed I was distracted by something. "It is just...life.""Are you not happy with your life?" there was innocence in her words, but curiosity on her face. "It is difficult to explain, Flora.""Try me," this time she paused her work to look at me with full attention. I smiled at the young girl, "I have two paths in front of me. If I picked the first path, people I care about will get hurt.""What about the second road?""If I took that then I will have to suffer in silence."I knew she did not understand the entire thing and I could not tell her anything either. Ever since I saw Chelsea and Alpha Orion together I could not help but believe I was not meant to be here in their lives. And what Mia said worked

Stop pretending to care
The night was as silent as it could get. Creatures of the night were not howling at the moon, everything was quiet....like the silence before the storm. I rested my head on the wall before closing my eyes for a moment but still keeping myself awake. The nightmares were not letting me sleep. I was getting tired of seeing blood and dead people in my sleep. I knew it was something related to the red moon. I was living in a supernatural world and everything here meant something, I would be foolish to ignore this....especially if this was a warning. Nights like these made me feel more lonely than I already was. Whenever I had a nightmare as a child my mother would hug me tight while telling stories about the happy times. Even though it was just the two of us she tried her best to give me everything she could. What if the times were different and my parents were still alive? Maybe I would not be sitting here alone at night staring at the cloudy sky trying to figure out my life. But what

You are something else
I stretched my arms as I sat on the bed. After so many nights I had a peaceful sleep with no sight of haunting murderous scenes. I touched the soft fabric suddenly remembering last night...I was trying not to fall asleep and yet here I was in the comfort of bed not surrounded by chilly winds on a floor. Alpha Orion.Did he...I tried to shake the thoughts away, why would he do that? Knowing him he would just leave me outside in the cold.But he was sitting with me in the middle of the night, was it true or was it a dream?I softly touched the spot on the side of my head where I thought he had kissed me...that part was definitely a dream. My heart started thumping loudly as I saw the time...11 am. I sprinted towards the bathroom to get ready. After fifteen minutes as I was brushing my hair...the realization occurred to me. I was no longer in the palace, it was a habit...a part of me. I had to be ready by 7 am to make sure I started doing my work. But I was no longer in the palace,

Blood moon
Luca tried to kiss me.I was still trying to think about it or more like I was trying to think about the reason. It was wrong...no matter what the reason was, his action was not right but it was just a moment of weakness. He was vulnerable and I was just there. I let out a breath while walking outside the mansion. I had to get out of that place, I needed time and place to think about what happened. My eyes changed their color, did it really happen or the lack of sleep was finally messing with my head?The red moon was approaching fast and I had no clue about it...I was sure about one thing, something terrible would happen in a few days. My nightmares were not ordinary, I might not be a werewolf but I was still connected with this pack through my soulmate. It could be a warning, a warning I would not ignore.So many questions were running inside my head and I had no answers. I could ask Eleanor about the red moon but she was as clueless as me considering she did not know about the

I accepted the truth
My mind was focused on that one particular spot in the library. My fingers were itching to grab the book and flip the pages that had my answers. Everything I needed was so close to me and yet I was sitting in the room waiting for everyone to leave. Alpha Orion was still in the mansion which meant I was not going to leave the room under any circumstances. I did not want to talk to him, I already had too many things to worry about and dealing with one grumpy Alpha was not in my daily schedule. I was also avoiding Luca. After the last time, things became a little awkward between us. I saw Luca during breakfast but we barely spoke. The silence was not extraordinary during breakfast or dinner in this mansion. The silence was my constant companion most of the time. But no one noticed the silence was not normal but uncomfortable between us or maybe no one cared. It was already 1 pm and Alpha was locked in his office. Normally he would not be home but in the last few days, he started

We are not so different
How could I be so careless? I missed the perfect opportunity, all the answers were under the same roof and yet I could not get them. The red moon was barely a few days away and here I was sitting ideally.Who could have taken the book?The book had some information about the red moon. It could mean someone else was trying to find out about the moon as well or someone took the book on purpose so that I could not read it.But why would anyone do that?Who could take the book?Bernadette? Only she knew I was looking for some answers about the red moon and she was the one who found me in the library.But it could also be Mia. She was outside, maybe she followed me and saw I was reading the book. She wanted revenge because according to her I took Chelsea's place and even though she did not know anything about my nightmares if she knew I was interested in the book it would make sense for her to take it.I could not search their rooms, it would be too risky but the book was my only hope.I

I overstayed my welcome
"Are you okay?"I was pulled out of my thoughts...I was stuck in a loop, I wanted to help people but I had no way of helping anyone while I sat helplessly in Alpha's house."Luca," I smiled. It was customary for me, smile...no matter what you were feeling inside. Greeting guests or just working in the palace meant we had to be polite with a smile always glued to our lips. Werewolves with high ranks could get offended over things that most would consider ignoring. Luca took a seat next to me. I suppressed the urge to move slightly away from him. "You have been avoiding me," he was looking at me."I...uh..." "I am sorry I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable that day."I shook my head, finally looking at him, "I get it, you were upset and it was just..."I wanted to say a mistake but stopped when Luca started talking."I am apologizing because I should have done that sooner when I had the chance.""What are you talking about?"Instead of answering he smiled...the smile was almost

One step at a time
Luca left the pack. Alpha Orion was no longer coming to see me at night, it was something that should not have bothered me but it was bothering me. I would sit at night hoping he would appear like usual to sit next to me but it did not happen. For two days I sat outside on the balcony gazing at the stars waiting for Alpha Orion to show up. I was supposed to be happy, it was what I wanted...for him to leave me alone and he was finally doing it but why was I not happy?"Hey," I smiled at Bernadette. "Oh, hi."She stopped to greet me, looking confused, "Why are you sitting here?"I stood up from the couch and walked in her direction, "I just wanted to see you."It was not the entire truth, I was checking if someone was at home. I wanted to visit the river, it was the only place that could give me some peace. I was still not sure if Bernadette took the book from the library but I was not going to ruin anything between us because of one doubt even though I still did not trust her entire
