Chapter 31

I heard a knock on the door and my initial thought was what do people have against sleep in this house but when I saw it was almost eleven a.m. I figured that my exhaustion got the better of me. The last time I slept in so late I was still in school. Thalia was already sitting in bed as I rubbed my eyes while the sun came through the window. "Who is it?" I ask as I cover my legs with the blanket. "It's Jeffrey. May I come in?" What is it now? Does the Luna need me again? She can't very well yell at me in front of Atlas so maybe she wants to do it in private now. "Yes, Jeffrey. Come in." The door swiftly opens and Jeffrey strolls in with maids carrying shopping bags and boxes and placing them on the couch and the little table on the side. "What is all of this?" I ask. "Master Atlas ordered we get both you and Miss Thaila some new clothes and anything else you might need. If there is anything you might not like just say the word and our staff will exchange it." Atlas told them to g

Chapter 32

When I left the bathroom the breakfast was already delivered but Thaila was out on the balcony talking to her mother. I could hear her mother's joy all the way to where I was standing, after all, her daughter was safe. I wasn't about to interrupt her, the breakfast can wait and I can use this time to go and find Atlas. When I got out of the room I noticed something strange happening outside the windows, all the royal guards were assembled in front of the mansion. Were they here to make sure I could leave, it wouldn't surprise me that Luna put stronger measures to retain me this time. Or... they were waiting for someone."Are you looking for someone, Wolfy?" Atlas asks as he appears from behind. I dont know how he manages to sneak up on me so many times. I turn around and give him a full look at the outfit, it seems he approves."I see I managed to get the right size." So he did pick it out."And the right cup size," I add just to be funny and it seems he gets it. Atlas is wearing his

Chapter 33

"But she seems ok. You should have seen her today, there is not a scratch on her." I thought the worst had passed, I was confident that everything would be alright. That is what I promised her. "Her body healed, yes. But once the full moon starts and the shift begins her bones are going to break... without a wolf..." Atlas had a hard time saying the words but I knew what he was implying."Without a wolf, all that is going to be left of her is a sack of crushed bones." And everything we did up until now would be worthless, none of us can give her a wolf. To make matters worse, the full moon is tomorrow. "Wolfy, I really wish I could do something about it, but right now the only thing we can do is hope and pray that the Moon Goddess finds her worthy." The Moon Goddess, she already saved her once. Why would she do that if she would want to let her die by the full moon? No, Thaila will be alright, I refuse to believe otherwise."How did you come to that information?" I ask Atlas. Maybe h

Chapter 34

"A blessed wolf?" I have never heard of that, but then again the latest events have proven to me that I need to brush up on my history. "You know how when a werewolf is born it doesn't have a wolf, it takes years after to gain it. It's because it becomes attached to the person's soul and becomes an extension of one's being. In the case of your friend, her soul is now the extended part of the wolf within." Samuel tries to clarify but all of this is so new that it takes me a minute to wrap my head around it. "So she will be okay? She will be able to turn and live her life like the rest of the werewolves?" I ask and the conflicted look on Samuels's face tells me that the story doesn't quite end there. "If... If she manages to get her gift under control, maybe." Gift? Why do I feel like it's gonna be one of those gifts that dont come with the receipt and you can't even exchange it for something better? "What kind of a gift are we talking about?" Atlas asks as he leans over the table t

Chapter 35

After I recovered from the little moment between Atlas and me I was on my way back to the room when I saw Thaila in the hallway studying the paintings on the walls. "Hey, did you find anything interesting?" I ask. "Yeah, why do you guys have so many paintings of the little red riding hood?" Thaila asks as she points to the wall. "That is not Little Red Riding Hood. It's the Moon Goddess." Thalia shakes her head in disagreement. "My mother told me the story about a million times, that is exactly how she appeared in the pictures." The story isn't entirely how it was written down, but then again what story is? The best proof of that is the many different versions written by people with different perspectives. It heavily depends on the narrator."Not everything is what it appears to be. The little red as you call it was once a human and her cloak was white. The story that we know is that she was a woman who couldn't have children, and for that, she was unmarried and later outcasted

Chapter 36

"Who is Cole?" Thalia asks. I must have said his name out loud. Cole is here, I can't believe he is actually here. It's been years since I last saw him but there was no doubt it was him. I would recognize that man anywhere. "Cole... Cole is an old friend of mine." This is technically not a lie, we were always just friends. His father worked at the hospital where Jake and I used to volunteer. That's where I met him, and there is where I fell in love with him. We would spend entire days together, and he would make me laugh all the time. Cole is now twenty-five and since he was twenty-one he got the order to go into the human world and take over the position of the CEO of one of the Alpha's most profitable companies. It was a high honor that he couldn't possibly turn down. The day he had to leave the pack was the day he gave me this necklace, he made me promise I would never take it off and I haven't. I promised it to him but I swore it to myself. I was nineteen then, it seemed reasonab

Chapter 37

"This will be interesting," Saf says as it seems she is amused with the situation while I stare at Cole's surprised eyes. "Your soulmate?" Cole asks as he takes a step back. I dont know how to interpret his shock, maybe... maybe he cares... about me. "Yes, and soon your future Luna." This can't be happening, not now. Not now that he is finally back. "Congratulations on finding your soulmate, I hoped that by coming back to the pack territory I would have found mine as well." Cole looked at me, it seemed like his eyes wanted to tell me so many things. "The pack's territory is big and now that you are back you'll have nothing but time to find her," Atlas says, his behavior toward Cole is cold and he insists on keeping my hand in his. "Yes, well... We'll see what happens. If you excuse me, Luna is waiting for me." Cole slightly bows his head but his eyes find mine as he raises his eyebrows before heading into the living room. I take my hand out of Atlas's hold and he looks at me long

Chapter 38

"I dont know what to do. I lost control over everything in my life." I say to Thaila and she gives me a side look. "At least you are still you. I can't say the same." But am I still me? Lately, I think I dont even know myself. I feel lost, even more so now that Cole is back. This is not how I imagined our reunion at all. And then there is Atlas, even if I dont feel the same thing he feels for me that doesn't mean I want to hurt him. "I think we talked enough about me," I say as I push the plate away and rest my hand on the table. "There is something important I need to discuss with you." Thaila sets her plate aside and sits straight up in her chair. "You dragged it out enough, Kaya. Just go straight to the point." Actually, I was looking forward to dragging it out but I guess here it goes. "The full moon is about to happen and you are going to shift, quite painfully but dont worry you are going to make it. We are sure of it." I would have tried and put it out a bit more gently but
