PearlWhen I woke up, I wasn't in the cave. I was in a well lit room and I felt something comfy beneath me, it was a bed. Looking around, the room seemed familiar and soon I realized that I was in the infirmary."Pearl? How do you feel now? You slept for so long." A familiar voice said. Hardin's face came into view. He was hovering over me and looking intently at me."Why am I in the infirmary? You should have brought me here in the first place," I said coldly, looking away from him.He remained silent and said nothing. Slowly, he stood erect and turned around, turning his back against me."I guess I made the wrong call... If you want to stay away from me, ensure you stay safe so that I can detest you," he gritted out and made his way towards the door.My heart squeezed in pain as I watched him leave. I don't know if it was because I hurt him again or because I didn't want to be alone."Hardin! Don't go," I called out hoarsely and he halted. Without looking back, he turned the knob

PearlI couldn't believe it when Dr Jacobs said I would spend three more days in the infirmary. "I thought you said I would be discharged today!" I fired."Yes but no. Sorry ma'am, you need some rest," he scoffed and walked away in his usual casual manner.The next three days were hellish. I almost died of boredom. Jayden, Pete and Billy dropped in to check on me at intervals, but neither Evelyn nor Hardin showed up.One question kept burning in my heart, who the hell attacked me in the form of a wolf? I know everyone in the school hates me and most especially those in the Faculty of the big cats, but despite the group's hostility towards me, the only person who could do that is Evelyn.Well, that is only an assertion, I will wait till I find out myself. I missed Hardin and I wanted to see him. I asked his friends severally to tell him to come but he never did.Days rolled by and after what seemed like eternity, it was time for me to leave the infirmary.That morning, I was over exci

PearlI heard a noise from a distance, it was coming from the hall of the big cats, but as I got closer, the noise reduced and I wondered what was happening."Welcome to this grand event. It's always our pleasure to celebrate with the big cats when they find their mates. We see it as the kindness of the moon goddess towards them," Mrs Hopkins' voice boomed through the air and I hastened as I covered the last step.The hall was filled up with students. Members of the faculty of big cats were seated in the front rows. Others were students from other facilities who came to witness the event."To maintain order and a decent relationship among students, we usually celebrate this in grand style. Most often we do invite the parents of the students who are involved but due to certain reasons, Billy and Emma's parents could not show up. We therefore decided to throw a small party for them. This will in effect, make every other admirer to be aware that these two are taken," The students murmure

PearlWe took different turns and we were out in the open."Hopkins Citadel is essentially large. I haven't seen this side before," I whispered."Really? Well it's a given, you have no friend who could take you sightseeing. I am the only friend you have but you ditched me, calling me a monster," Hardin pouted."I am sorry.""Nah. You are right. To a normin like you, a werewolf is probably a monster too," he said casually."Well… Yes!""You see? I caught you…" He tickled me and I giggled, hitting him softly."Common, where are we going?" I whispered as he pecked my cheeks."This big monster is gonna eat you up," he said playfully and I hit him hard.Again our lips met and he kissed me lightly before moving forward.He didn't say much until we were in front of an enclosed field. I fell behind as he pulled me through the tiny entrance.The area was filled with well-trimmed carpet grass just like Pentium Field. I rared my head up looking at him questioningly."What is this place?"He smir
