Today is the day that everyone is waiting for. The day when two packs are able to show what they are truly made of. But instead of becoming enemies, they become allies in the end. Werewolves have always had this Alpha instinct as they call it. The sense of superiority among the rest of the pack. It is also because of such traits that Purple Hill created this tournament against the other packs. Most of the other packs include a new generation of Alpha who’s been friends with Drake, Leon, Calvin, and Nori since they were small pups. Some of them I have known since pre-school, while some of them are newly earned friends. I hope that Black Moon will also become their friend. I know that Nori and Seth had started on the wrong foot, but I am still hopeful that by the end of the tournament the gap would have lessened or better yet disappeared. “Hey, bitch” Calvin called out to me as he enters my room.“Are you really sure that you will not join them?” I ask as I tie my hair in a ponytail.

When we were young fairytales makes us believe that everything is possible. That after all the hardships that the main character experiences, good things are sure to follow. Fairytales make us think that happily ever after really exists. That if you have suffered enough you’ll surely get your happy ending.But as you grow old, you slowly realize that fairytales are bullshit. That happy ending does not really exist. My life has been a continuous cycle of bad luck until I met Nori. Slowly, I start to dream, start to hope, and start to make plans for a future that never existed. For a short while, it felt like I will finally have my happy ending. Until my world began to crumble down. That’s when I accepted my fate. I stopped dreaming, I stopped hoping, and stopped believing in a happy ending. And then I met Seth.Unlike my younger self, I made sure that this time I won’t be fooled easily. This time flowery words won’t mean a thing. I was doing good, actually better than I expected. I

Fate has a funny way of playing with people. He has a funny way of making people believe that they have finally found the one that they are fated to be with only to have their hearts broken. And once you have thought that you have already moved on, fate will once again come and make you feel the same thing you felt in the past, before you got your heart crashed. There was a time when I have a fantasy of having Nori make love to me. I was so in love with him and fate made me feel that he felt the same way that I do. He made me feel that we belong with each other. Until fate decided that it was no longer part of its plan. I sat in front of Seth, who I know loves me truly. Who loves me as a whole, including the ugly part of me. But if I want to make this relationship of ours work I need to be honest with him. “Lana,” he called my name but it was not his usual sensual and seducing voice. Instead, it was filled with sadness. “Marking you as My Mate is more than just a mark. It’s a bond

After the wonderful night, I had spent with Seth with only the moon as our witness, the harsh light of morning came bringing me back to reality. Seth wanted to take me home to meet my mother and to officially ask for my hand, but I insisted that it would be better if I speak to her first. My mother is one of the kindest and most understanding people that I know. I am just not sure how she will take the news of another pack claiming me. I know that she was kinda hopeful that Calvin would take me since Nori and I didn’t really work out. I asked Seth to drop me off by the border where Calvin would wait for me. “Are you okay?” Seth asks making me stop overthinking. “Yeah,” I replied smiling at him. “What are you thinking, Baby?” Seth asks with his eyes on the road. “It just felt surreal, like a dream come true,” I said happily. Seth took a peek at me before looking back at the road ahead. “Well,” Seth said as he shifted a gear, “It’s a dream come true for me,” his admission felt l

There’s a saying that goes like this, you reap what you sow. I am definitely reaping what I sow. It’s funny how you have this great idea in your head. And it looks so perfect, so foolproof that you trust that idea so much that you execute it. And once you did, that foolproof plan became nothing else but an epic fail. “You okay?” Drake asks as he sat on the stool beside me.“Are you really asking me that?” I asked him. “Nori,” Drake said as he signaled for a drink to the bartender. “I am not your enemy.”It would have been easier if they were my enemy instead of me. I mean we could just have a match and then whoever wins is the winner. But when your enemy is yourself, you will never win.“Stop sighing and talk,” Drake said. “I don’t really feel like talking,” I said as I finish my drink in one go. “I know that you made a choice for a reason,” Drake said without looking at me. “But right now, with how things are going, I can also see that you are regretting a part of that decision.
