As nightfall descended, I carefully tiptoed through the house, leaving a note for my mom in my room, informing her that I would be out with Sarah for a party. I doubt she'd read it.I quickly got ready, choosing a flowing dress that shimmered under the moonlight, accentuating its vibrant colors. I added a touch of light makeup and let my hair cascade in loose waves around my shoulders. Satisfied with my appearance, I quietly made my way downstairs, cautious not to make any noise to attract attention.Following the plan Adrian and I had devised earlier that day, I waited in the corridor near his chambers. Suddenly, I felt a hand on my shoulder, and my instincts kicked in. I quickly turned and pushed the person to the floor ready to stomp on his stomach, only for me to realize that it was Adrian. My cheek grew hot red in embarrassment, "Oh no, I'm so sorry…"I helped him get up slowly and he dusted his shirt."It's alright, you really have fast reflexes."You scared me." I exclaimed. "

The riddle or prophecy or whatever it was I read the previous night couldn't leave my memory.I kept on saying it to myself, to me almost turning myself to a self-indulged lunatic.Was I making progress? Nope. I asked Sandra to help me search it up, but she gave no results. I also checked it online myself but there was no sensible result.It was on my call with Sandra she had told me something which would go on to disturb me throughout the day.I noticed Don was awfully quiet that day and less of a nuisance. That was definitely a bad sign. He was busy talking to a Beta beside the detached building and I decided to approach him. I wanted to ask him about what Sarah told me, of him telling her that he knows about the secret Adrian and I were hiding and why I was protecting Adrian. What exactly does he mean by that and what does he know?I walked towards Don, my heart pounding with anger and frustration. Whatever he was up to, I needed to find out. I couldn't let him get away with it. I

I followed behind my father as he stormed to his study room. I thought of what to do to desolve the issue because I knew it would turn to something worse very soon. Nothing came to my mind and that made the desperations I felt grip me harder."Father, please, hear me out. Please forgive me for this. It was my fault. It was all my fault. I'll take all the punishment. Adrian is not to blame please…" I pleaded with him, but my words fell on deaf ears."Do you even know who that man is?! You have no idea who he is and you were there involving yourself shamelessly with him?! Do you know his family, where he came from?!! You're acting so loose!" My father yelled at me."Father, please just hear me out…""Hear what?!""Please just spare his life. I will take all the punishment. I admit I did wrong…" All my pleas were drowned out by my father's furious shouts."Why do you have no shame? To embarrass me like that in front of an elder?!" he bellowed, his face twisted with anger. "I…I'm sorry,

It had been days since "that stuff" occured. I had not been able to sit with, needless to say, see Adrian. He'd been in his chambers or on the docks/field with the generals, excluding Jaxon. I had been confined to my room, as my mother would have it, and had been trying to make due with it, even though every single day felt dragged and boring. The day Tyler visited, after being away on a mission, he had already heard of the news and started his cockiness. Though, my dad let me out that day, it was even worse because I had to meet Tyler and watched as he behaved like a dork throughout the day towards Adrian.With Adrian transformed into a Limean werewolf, the dynamics within the pack began to shift. Tyler, sensed an opportunity to assert his superiority over Adrian as he was always seeking dominance and power over everything and everybody, just like Don. Don.The bastard.I hadn't been able to see him since the day he last smirked evilly at me. If I were to set my eyes on him, I pro

Another week had passed. Tyler and Audrey visited for sometime again, for reasons I didn't want to know, and Adrian had been more quiet than usual. I knew why but I wandered every night, not wanting to sleep, if things would go back to normal after what we had both realized. Adrian has become a hybrid.It was a secret I would keep to myself and one Adrian and I would both share. He hadn't burst into a transformation ever since the last time and he'd been trying to hone his new found truth and powers. That was something really admirable about him. Not letting the unexpected twist of things depress him, but making the most out of it.Though, I felt Adrian's conflicted view of being part his kind and part a kind who hates his kind, I wish this would've happened to him not during an era where the hatred between our kinds were too profound. I constantly wished things would get less complicated, but I had helped a vampire - the greatest taboo a pack hunter can commit, so what could I expec
