People watched us as we all took our bags down from the truck. I helped some of the cadets with me unload our things.What was supposedly a few more days of training before going back to Vamos for the Choosing Ceremony, turned into a half-day trip when the king decided to make us all go back to Vamos.“Too bad we had to get back. But people were hurt.” One of the trainees said as we continued unloading the truck.Packmates who had friends or family from the trainees started coming in, making the place quite noisy and a little bit welcoming with all the greetings. But one could not mistake the tension that was in the air.I was made to follow the warriors and the Council when Titus called me. I thought he was going to be with me along the way home, but they all gathered us first for the official announcement of the shortened training and what we were dealing with as of the moment.That what they all thought was a mere rogue incident, became a spark that could light a big fire that coul

I didn’t know what to say nor feel.I felt numb and my mind was going everywhere, going through so many questions all at once. It was the same way with my heart. It went through so many emotions that it couldn’t pick up which to process first.“All your vitals are good and there’s really no trace of venom inside you even when it has just been 26 hours when you were injected with it.” Ben nodded to himself as he finished with everything he needed to do for his monitoring of me.“That’s great. But are you fine, my dear? You look… a little unwell.”I stared at him for a while, processing his words as my mind still couldn’t grasp everything I just heard.“N-No, I’m fine.” I shook my head and forced a small smile on my face.“T-Thank you, Ben,” I continued and sat up. My chest was starting to constrict and get heavy as I controlled whatever emotion I felt inside. I felt heavy, and yet my mind was blank, unable to register anything at the huge dump that I felt on me.“Okay,” the healer s

What I thought was going to be a brief kiss turned out to be a session. Titus just wouldn’t stop.“Hold me,” he demanded breathily when he noticed how my hands were still just beside him.I chuckled, my mouth still on his when I felt his arms wrap around me harder, wanting for himself to be closer to my body as if he couldn’t have enough.I pulled my face away from him. “I have soap and bubbles around my hands and arms. Look.”I raised my hands while his mouth went to my cheek and chin, not wanting to stop yet.I heard him sigh when he heard that, not even looking at my hands that were up. “I don’t care. I want you closer. I missed you.”That made me smile. I wiped my gloves on my jeans for a while, not caring I’d get wet at this point. He was too adorable for me to decline. I immediately wrapped my arms around his neck, still making sure his hair and shirt wouldn’t get wet since I hadn’t properly rinsed off yet.Titus immediately devoured me like we never saw each other for days. I

“Ready for tonight?”I sighed and chewed on my food at Maddie’s question.We were both seated on the chairs inside the Omega House’s kitchen. Maddie had just finished bombarding me with questions and warm greetings since it’s our first time seeing each other for almost a month. I couldn’t say I didn't miss her chitchats since it's probably the longest we’ve ever been away from each other since we met.“Yeah,” I just said and swallowed.“You’re nervous, aren’t you?” She suddenly said and inched her chair closer to mine.I didn’t answer her and just took another bite from my lunch. “It suits you,” she said, pertaining to the bracelet she gave me that I wore around my wrist. She just changed topics like that."But really, why are you nervous? I heard you did really well in training.” She suddenly pointed a finger at me. Her light green eyes narrowed.“You can’t tell me you’re not nervous. I know that face.”I sighed once again and drank the water that was on the side. “So, I’m really

I looked at the stage, making sure the woman was not there and that I was just imagining things.But in confirmation, Lana wasn’t really present on stage, beside Titus, where she always liked staying.My heart beat faster as I looked at the forest again, still seeing figures moving about.What is she doing there? Why is she talking with a rogue? And most importantly, why is it not attacking her?Not that I want her to be attacked, but the most normal thing to happen when facing a rogue is to be attacked.Unless…“... announcement of the Top 14, the Kingsguard.”The applause that resonated around the area caught my attention. My head snapped back to the stage again and caught Titus looking at me. He gave me a small smile, but he immediately caught up to my emotions when a more serious expression came on his face.‘What’s wrong, my love?’ he immediately mind-linked me. I swallowed, feeling the chill around my neck when the wind breezed through the wide space of the pack. I can still
