Sonia was in the fields and she was surrounded by Beam and three other children. She was sitting on the ground while one of the boys wrapped his tiny arm around her neck. From afar I could hear her explaining why the children needed to stop playing so much and start taking their own personal training seriously. "Beam most especially you," Sonia said. "You play a lot and you know Lance will soon scold me for it. Now then you guys should meet Grey and tell him to give you guys the lesson plan. Beam I'm placing you in charge of the children's pack."Beam looked like the world had just been dropped on her shoulders. She slouched and opened her mouth but one glance from Sonia made her swallow whatever protest she had coming up. We crossed each other and this time around it was I who stuck my tongue out for her and she glared. "It's nice that you're making them go through the troubles to train!" I said, finally arriving at Sonia's back. Sonia got up"Soon they will realize that it's no t

"Right, use my only weakness against me, it's also sad how you base your entire life on violence," with that, I walked away from him and everyone else.I had gotten to a distance from them, but then a force pulled me back and I found myself pinned again, against a way. Lance's hand was around my neck and gripping even tighter than what Jeff had done."Haven't I warned you about respect, I'll kill you like the worthless being you are," his glare was cold and hard and it bore into my soul."Yeah, kill me because I did the job I'm professional at. As long as I don't get to look or cope with you again. I'd rather be prisoners to the vampires than mates with you," the words game out like venom out of my mouth that I felt its weight when I spoke. It was like I had stung him where it hurt the most, I watched his eyes dilate from cold to shocked and soft. I knew I should not have said it to him and I knew it possibly hurt the oh so mighty Lance. His grip around me loosened and I sucked in a

He left them and walked right past me, signaling me to follow him. I obeyed, trailing his steps behind him. I didn’t question where we were going but I eventually figured out where he was going, my workshop. “What’s up?” Grey asked immediately we were alone“I figured out a way to cure Lance,” I blurted out.I’ve always wanted to tell him since I figured out a cure. I spent more hours in the library, studying ancient curses and their cures and I finally came across one that would help.“What?!” Grey’s eyes widened at my announcements. “No way,”“Yes way, I was in the library and I came across a book and I saw things about curses and their cure. Most curses don’t even have a physical cure, it takes actions of the victim to break a cure. But I doubt that’s it. But I also came across a leaf, it lifts every curse. Every single curse,” I explained, even shocked by my own words.“What?!” Grey repeated with the same expression.“There is a problem though, you can only find it at the top of

When we were still little Elena tried to set my room on fire, my dad had quickly rushed in with the fire extinguisher to quench it. My dad did not scold her for it, Instead he said it was an accident. Watching the burning glow of the firewood that lit the forest brought back the memory from my childhood days. We were setting camp in a nearby forest. Lance wanted us to have an outdoor experience away from castle walls to celebrate Betas Grey and Sonia’s one year wedding anniversary. There was so much laughter and joy on everyone’s face. Everyone was talking at the same time. “Settle down everyone,” Grey said, “I have an important announcement to make. Sonia is a few weeks pregnant!”There were hearty cheers and I looked at Sonia dumbfounded. I did not know what else to do except to give her a hug. Everyone came around her and lavished her with congratulations. Grey’s eyes were glistening with tears but he did not let it fall. He looked so proud, too proud and I wondered if any of it w

“Do you ever wake up early?” I frowned at the voice that spoke.“Leave me alone, it’s still too early,” I shuffled around my bed. I knew who the person was, Lance had been trying to wake me up for the past ten minutes but sleep was getting the best of me. Then the bed sheet that was cuddling my body close was pulled down from me and I whimpered as the cold atmosphere met my skin.“Lance, will you please leave me alone?” I pouted, still refusing to open my eyes. I feared that if I did open it even for the slightest time, I was going to lose the sleep and nice dream I was having.I heard the curtains being dragged open but I didn’t flinch until the brightness of the sun came in contact with my eyelids.“Lance!” I finally opened my eyes to shoot him a glare but he just laughed at my attitude.“You have exactly ten minutes to get yourself ready for the healers conference, else you’ll be extremely late. I mean you’re already late, but you’ll be extremely late if you’re not in the car in t
