SAGEMy memories was kinda skeptical. All I'd remember was being captured along with Dimitri. Captive by that Sarah and by that murderer, Amelia. Then discovered that the missing teens willingly joined them because of their Alpha's cruelty for their weakness. And that Rebecca arrived in the picture as Sarah kept on claiming that the mark on my wrist was given by Ingrid. Thenceforth, they tried to locate her with some witchcraft and it really fùcking hurt. Moreover, Primrose was also abducted as a vessel and they tried to bring back Aria from the dead with Dimitri as a sacrifice. After that, everything was kinda fuzzy and all I could recall was this bubbling heat, trying to explode out of me. Then all went black.This was all I could provide to the Irvine for now. Somehow, I was turned to their kind——a werewolf. I didn't have any idea if that could be bad thing or not. I felt odd, actually and I wasn't really used to it yet. That Rebecca must have put a curse on me but as I remembered,

SAGEAs soon as the sun appeared on the horizon, Val and I set off so that I could finally go home. As much as I would like to stay with my mate all the time, I had my parents to consider——my two mothers who built me up and loved me unconditionally with their undying perseverance. To be honest, I already missed everything about them. Even if I was just absent for only almost a week, it felt like a year had passed without me seeing them. Once I get home, I would surely request for my Ma's cooking and of course, tomorrow would be Sunday so it was gonna be our bonding time.Val was driving on our way back home while I looked out the window with an excited smile stamped on my face. I wondered when the first snow would fall because I couldn't wait to see everything in white. Winter was my favorite season of the year as I was always fascinated by the magical looks of the nature. Not to mention, the holidays and all the joyous gatherings. I may have change physically and in spirit but I was

SAGELater that evening, we all gathered in the main barracks for the trial. I was sitting next to my girlfriend, absorbing the eerie atmosphere of the place. The sun had already slipped behind the world as the night flourished above us. The fire torches were stacked down on the ground, around the stone pedestal at the center of the area. The crowd was becoming thick with all the members of the pack, flocking at each other."You should probably go home now. Your parents might be looking for you already," Val murmured in my ear, hugging me closer, rubbing my arm soothingly."No, I've already informed them that I'll be home as soon as this trial ends.""Are you sure about this?" she asked, her tone filled with concern.Well, after that confrontation with Sarah a while ago, I'd be asking myself if I was fine with this too. Not that I was concern about her but she was still the woman who pushed me out of this world. I was a little bit grateful for that because despite all the chaos I went

VALKYRIE"Are you really sure that we should be doing this?" I asked to Sage in hesitation. We were inside her bedroom and just waiting out for her parents to get to sleep before we embarked outside for Primrose's party. We were already dressed in our outfits; cladded with my leather jacket while Sage was wearing her bomber. I heard it was a party to welcome the winter so it was appropriate to wear thick clothes even though the cold wasn't affecting our warm bodies.Sage enfolded me with one of her arms, the other raised her Polaroid camera in front of us. Smiling uneasily as I looked at its lens, she clicked the capture button and the flash almost blinded my eyes due to its brightness. I blinked uneasily, then I watched as my mate pulled out the photo and shaking it in excitement."C'mon, when was the last time you had a party? We even skipped the homecoming. After everything, I think we deserve some fun, don't you think?" she said, her focus was on the piece of glossy paper though.

VALKYRIESome ancient tribes believed that once the moon turned into a shade of blood, it's deeply wounded or terribly ill. And during the eclipse, their people would chant prayers and offer dance to provide healing to this celestial magnificence in the dark sky.For our people, it was the very symbol of our curse and our birth— the image of our Goddess. It gave monstrous power to our ancestor who sought revenge for the death of her tribe. The one who had founded the Phantom and live within her children in blood which continuously led our kind to supremacy. Until she got broken, betrayed by her own kin. Her spirit shattered into three inheritors and then, she disappeared from our consciousness.However, after this night, there was a possibility that it might be whole again through our union. If I possessed the other within me, that is. But so far, I haven't experienced anything weird yet. Actually, I was more shocked that Sage was able to defeat all those hybrids without any sweat a w
