51: Elaine

I open my eyes to see a little girl. She was squatting and peering at me with curiosity. I was about to sit up when I felt something heavy on my chest. I looked down, a little surprised to see Elaine still on my lap, and he wasn't asleep anymore.I sat up and adjusted him properly since the little guy didn't seem eager to get off me. I turn my attention back to the little girl whose attention was now on Elaine.“Why are you hugging the Luna? She isn't your mummy” I don't think she meant to be rude, but the little man took it personally and glared at her really hard before bursting into tears.“Why are you crying? I only asked you a question?” She was genuinely curious and didn't mean to hurt him.“What's your name?” I ask her instead when Elaine won't stop crying.“Mila. Why is he crying?”“Elaine is a soft boy, so he cries easily. It's okay to hug me, too. I don't need to be his mom to hold him. Don't you hug Luna Emily, too?”“Yes, but she does so to all the kids. You don't” She was

52: we found her

It took a little over three hours to get today's training out of the way, and my muscles burned like a bitch. Isaac had been reluctant to let me go, claiming I still needed a lot of work. I had begged him and was able to convince him that I wouldn't be able to get better in just one day if I was on the brink of death.I knew I was getting a little better, and soon, I'd be ploughing Isaac into the ground. I just needed maybe a year to do that. When Isaac finally decided to let me go, I dragged myself achingly to the room, hoping to sleep the pain off after a long shower, but the day wasn't going the way I wanted at all.I found Lily and Emily waiting in front of my door. They claimed we hadn't hung out together in a while, and now that they were both free, I couldn't escape it.Thankfully, they let me take a shower before dragging me off to Lily’s room. As soon as we entered their apartment, I snatched the blanket hanging from a chair and tucked myself into the couch, and thankfully, t

53: The Dungeons

I stopped knocking on Zion’s door a long time ago, and today was no different, not with something I had been itching to get my hands on behind these doors. I pushed the door open, and my eyes immediately started to scan the room for the familiar yet foreign face of the young girl, but she wasn't present. Instead, Zion, Jamie, and Isaac were all staring at me with cautious gazes, not to mention the visible chip on their shoulders, and I knew immediately that something was wrong. “Where is she? Didn't you say you found her already?” My eyes were on Zion as I approached him. He was seated behind that annoying desk of his that made him look impenetrable, which was what he was. “We did, but you won't like what we found” I glance towards Jamie and Isaac, but they avoided my eyes, so I focused on Zion instead.“Go ahead and tell me. What did you find? Wasn't it the girl? Did you lie to me?” I asked all at once, but it wasn't my fault. “We did find her, but she isn't alive. Someone got to

54:

I barely see Zion these days since the dungeon. He was avoiding me, and it's not like I could blame him. I turned the other way the moment I saw him, and he had gotten the message, except now I was the one slowly going crazy. I needed him, and now I felt like a crack addict, which was why I was on my way to his office right now. Some people tried to say hi to me, but I paid them no attention. I had one goal in mind, and that was my only focus. My heart was beating faster as Zion’s office came into focus. I was a little disoriented, and the mate bond was choking me up. I knew it would probably be worse for Zion, but he won't try to make me uncomfortable, so he'll try to bear it alone.I pushed the door open, almost ripping it from its hinges. Zion was alone, and he sat up with my entrance, a hitched brow and a ghost smirk on that annoying handsome face.He pushed his chair back and watched me approach him with fury in my eyes.I straddled his lap, and his hands went around my waist in

55: The first letter

I woke up to the sound of knocking on my door. My eyes flew to the other end of the bed to find it empty. Zion had carried me back to my room, and we had sex again, maybe multiple times, before we fell asleep together. I looked outside the window to find it a little dark and checked the time to see it was 5 am. The room still reeked of sex, so I opened the windows first, even though it would be of little help. My body ached, but I guess even a werewolf ached after a night of rough sex from an Alpha.The knocks came again, startling me a little this time because I managed to forget why I was up in the first place. I walked to the door and pulled it open, surprised to see Elaine's little frame blocking the entrance. His nose wrinkled, and he looked past me into my room before looking up at me.“What's that smell, Genny?” My cheeks flamed up in embarrassment at his question. Of course, he could smell the sex even though he was too little to understand what it was.“Some bad food. I forg

56: A trip to the Woods

My heart was thumping in my chest while I waited for Zion in front of the pack house. It was time for him to leave on his one-day trip.While I was eager for him to go so I could go back to that forest and check it out, I also started missing him badly. He was in his office, reviewing some last-minute plans with Jamie and Isaac. We argued earlier that he should take more men than the two he was travelling with, but he was so persistent in being stubborn. He claimed he was strong enough to protect himself and was only taking the two guards because Jamie and Isaac had insisted, which I was also grateful for. “I told you not to wait outside,” I turn to see Zion walking towards me with Jamie, Isaac and two other warriors. The ones who would be joining him on the trip.“Are you ready to leave now?” My voice came out shaky, the opposite of what I wanted. He looked towards the guys with him and gave a silent command to them. They gave me a curt nod before leaving the lounge, so it was just

57: A trap

I stood in my bathroom with the vial in my hand and considered the best option to use it. The shower was out, but the bucket and the tub were two options, and I was struggling to pick one. "I think the tub is better. You should dip yourself in it so the potion soaks into your skin. I think it's more practical." Violet chipped in, sensing my confusion“I totally agree with you” I moved towards the tub to empty the vial into it and watched as it mixed with the water. I removed my robe, tossed it to the floor and stepped into the tub. There was nothing magical like I expected, and I rolled my eyes at my childish expectation. I soaked in the tub for about twenty minutes, enough for the sky to darken more to my satisfaction, before I threw on some new clothes that would not carry my scent as well. I opened my door quietly and peeped into the hallway to check for any lingering wolves before stepping out when I sensed none. I quickly made my way through the hallway and outside the pack ho

58: The bloody note

I was raging mad as I marched to my room. Tears of frustration threatened to escape my eyes, but I held them back. I wouldn't allow Zion to make me cry. My eyes zero in on a note pasted on my door with tape. I ripped the note and opened it to see what was in it. The note was written in dried blood.Traitor. You mated with the enemy. You deserve to be killed.I dropped the note on the floor and flew to the other side of the door. My body trembled with terror. My heart is racing a million miles per minute. Heavy footsteps run towards me, and I didn't have to look up to know it was Zion. He ripped me off the floor and tugged me to his chest, which I went willingly.One of his hands found my nape, and the other went around my waist, holding me tight to his chest. His heart was also beating fast, and I teared up when I realised he was afraid for me.“What is it, sweetheart? Are you hurt? Did something happen? Tell me,” His voice was urgent, and they trembled a little, but he wasn't lettin

59: Trust

I snuggled deeper into the familiar embrace of Zion, and I relished the comfort he brought me as his hands rubbed down my back while holding me close protectively, almost like he was scared to lose me. I knew he was awake and likewise, but we made no effort to move or even say anything. We just enjoy the quiet morning, listening to the annoying birds on my windows who had made it their morning task to annoy the hell out of me.I didn't know how long we lay there until I decided to take a big bite of the skin above his nipples. He was inviting, the wall he lay naked on my bed with our legs tangled against the sheets. He was on his back, and I was lying on top of him with the sheets riding low on our bodies, only covering about an inch of my butt.“How are you feeling?” Zion’s thick morning baritone made me shiver as tingles wrap around my core, but my sore muscles are a great reminder that I can't do any more extra activities if I want to walk straight today.“Fine, I guess. I'm still

60: Negligence

I was a little taken aback by Lily’s question, and it had me thinking of so many reasons at once. She noticed my discomfort and scooted closer, maybe to provide comfort.“I haven’t shifted since that night, and I haven’t even thought about shifting before. Maybe my mind has accepted or related my shifting to my trauma and moved it to the back of my mind” It was the first time I was talking about shifting. I couldn’t even remember the colour of my wolf anymore. It was like she didn’t even exist, and Violet has been so patient with me, not even voicing out that she needed to be let free. “You shouldn’t stay for too long without shifting, and it’s been over six months since you came here. That is too long even for your wolf. She may not want you to feel bad, so she’ll keep her feelings for you, but I’m sure she is restless and not being out for so long is affecting her much harder than she lets on”Lily was right, and it made me feel horrible for neglecting my wolf and not thinking abou
