All Chapters of Crucial Desires: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

--2005--All of them were there. I couldn’t know, realise, or had any recollection of why everyone was here. All I knew was, that there was a woman in a red and black gown, and she had one of her hands on a boy’s shoulder who was standing right in front of her.My pack, the Moonshade Pack, was here. I could see fairies, witches, all the creatures that ever existed in our world.My Mom picked me up and held me in her arms. I was only 5 back then.“Mommy, this hurts,” I say while I show her the wound on my arm. She smiled weakly, shushed me and paid attention towards the others.Finally, I see my father and an older man signing a piece of paper. The paper was given by an old lady, who was accompanied by one younger lady and the other in between young and old.“Mommy, what is happening here?” I ask my mother. She looked down at me, smiled once again, and finally spoke.“It’s for your protection, little one. Don’t you worry. Daddy, Mommy and your pack will always protect you. No matter wh

I shook my head in disbelief and watched him go to the opposite side of where we were all supposed to go.“Hey, Hailey?” I hear Eve calling out to me and trying to get to me through the crowd.“I lost you for a second. Wait, what’s wrong?” She asks, and I look back at the weirdo who bumped into me and almost bullied me. But he was gone.“Hey, are you okay?” Eve asks again. I look at her once again, smiled and acted as if nothing was wrong.“I’m fine. The interior is so amazing I feel like I’m living in a palace.”“I know right, the auditorium is much more huge. Come on, I wanna sit at the front.” Eve takes my hand and guides me inside.The “Welcoming’ us all was amazing. Our Principal was a fairy, and she sure looked like she deserved to be a fairy. Her name was Laura Atkinson. She has been running this school for 8 years after her mother, Myra Atkinson, passed away.She didn’t obviously fill us in with her personal life, but she sure made us feel safe. Her aura was amazing, exciting,

--I try to open my eyes. Everything was still a lot dizzy. My head was bursting into flames as I felt myself lying. I finally manage to open my eyes as I figure I was back at my dorm, on my bed.“W-what the?!” My room’s lights were off. But I could still feel someone else’s presence with me. It was a familiar one.I look over at Eve’s side and see someone sitting on her bed in the dark.“Who are you?” I quickly get up and pick up my night lamp, aiming at the dark shadow.“You know you shouldn’t drink that much like that. Especially when you don’t know or can’t trust the surrounding people. This world can simply eat someone like you alive.”The person’s voice was growling deep. So deep that it made me shiver to my bitter core. I was instantly terrified by this energy but at the same time. I wanted to know who this person was.“Says the one who’s hiding in the shadows himself,”I could hear a small chuckle and a smirk. The person gets up and finally comes into the light.“You?” It was

I get confused and silent. My body couldn’t move, but all my senses were heightened. I got lost in Jace’s eyes. It didn’t matter how harshly he acted out at first. It felt as if he was manipulating or enforcing me into feelings I’ve never felt before.Let alone for a...vampire.“Hey, Hailey? You ready to go?” Eve walks up to me, trying to get a hold of my attention. I knew she was speaking to me, but I failed to reply.She stares in the direction I was staring in and quickly realises what’s happened.“Ah, You Love Jace.” I shook my head, instantly getting out of my fairytale world, and faced her.“I, what?!” My cheeks go red as I try to avoid eye contact. “No, it’s not like that...I..Shut up.”“Hey, I’m not blaming you. He’s charming, He’s tall, handsome, and he treats others well.”“Is that so?” I scoff at this point as we make our way out of the classroom.“What, it’s true.”“What’s true?” June joins us too as she listens to us talking about her brother.“That your brother is charmi

“I...” I fall to the ground. What the hell did I just witness? It’s all...surreal. I.. I stared at Valentine, whose emotions were now neutral, but I could clearly see the sadness behind them.“What..happened next?” I ask.Valentine weakly smiled and sat right next to me as we watched the sunset together.“There was a war right after that fight. Your parents still never had a clue about me. Nor the Vampire queen tell anyone. But after that, your father and the Vampire queen, Althea, declared war. Of course, with your father being a simple, innocent man. He never wanted to fight.”“But Althea gave them no choice. She killed lots and lots of werewolves from your pack, Hailey. Many were killed. Men, women, even children. In the end, the witches had to meddle in.”“The balance of our world was at stake. Sure, the wolves had the strength, but with the speed of vampires, it was almost impossible to catch them and..”“So the witches suggested a treaty. A treaty which benefited both the famili
