Running From The Past

AVAYou didn't think I'd actually obeyed, did you?Before his words could even land, my short legs had already pushed me at least four metres forward. I might possess all the traits of a submissive, but I was wise enough to know that anyone wandering the woods at this hour had ill intentions.That felt rich coming from me, but my reasons were different:I doubt anyone else in Bloodmoon was as miserable as I was.There was a great deal of distance between me and whoever it was, yet it seemed it didn't matter as much as I thought. His footsteps pounded behind me, hard and fast."Hold on! Wait..." he called, yet I didn't stop, tearing through the woods as if my life depended on it.Because it did.My flannel got stuck on branches, gaining holes as I roughly pulled free. I didn't care that one of the few clothes I had was being ruined. The fear wouldn't let me. Afar off, the dark path was beginning to lighten up.Just a few more pumps... a few more... and I'd be out...With that advantage,

Northern Intentions

AVAThe sun had barely risen the next morning when I was pulled out of bed. I had no time to process where I was being taken to, no time to pretend I'd gotten enough sleep, and not even a second to cry when I realised I was going to be 'prey' trained.They didn't even let me eat.Two hours later, I now stood in the empty training field behind the pack house, my arms wrapped tightly around myself as Astrid circled me like a hawk. I watched with a wary expression as her boots clicked against the gravel and the wheels in her head churned for another method to torture me while pretending this was actually a training."You don't look like prey." Her eyes shone with fake sweetness.She was right, I didn't.I looked worse...No predator would play around this much with its food before eating it.I didn't need to check a mirror. From the way my body was barely holding up, running on just five hours of sleep. From each step I took, that caused my legs to wobble... even my lungs were almost froz

The First Step

AVAMany of my childhood memories were fading, yet one of the few that remained vivid was my first day in third grade. That day, we had a new student with jet-black, silky hair, whom, honestly, I had envied at first glance until her bag fell and she bent to pick it up. In the middle of the lovely dark strands stood a stark white patch, and as little children who'd never come across anything like that, the word 'freak' fell from our lips, followed by jokes about how odd it was. It took our homeroom teacher almost an hour to calm us down and explain how being different wasn't a bad thing.So when everyone in the pack labelled me the freak, I easily understood why, and accepted it.I just never thought I'd agree with them.Reopening my eyes, I didn't know the extent of what had happened until I shakily stood to my feet to see Astrid's form, lying a good distance away, with scraps of wood that were once our daggers all around her.I couldn't even pretend to be in shock. Not when a voice

Half-Baked Courage

AVAI didn't get to speak as planned. My knuckles had barely touched the door when it swung open to reveal the first twin. He was all dressed up, and from the look of hurry on his face, it was obvious he had somewhere important to be.If he was bothered by my coming to him unannounced, he didn't show it, only giving me a dry once-over before speaking in his usual gruff tone."The office has been taken care of."This was my mate, whom I hadn't seen in days. I didn't expect him to sound like a lovesick puppy, but at the very least, shouldn't he show some emotions? The lack of it was beginning to get to me.Drawing in a shaky breath, I willed myself to speak before what was left of my courage drained away."I know, but I—""Don't bother," He grunted. "It's a good thing you're here."It was?"The guests will begin to arrive tomorrow."My composure broke."I don't want you anywhere around them until it's over. You are only to come out when the gathering officially begins for the hunt. Am I

Killed For Coffee Spillage

AVAI noticed the supervisor giving me a hard stare before looking past me to the back door as she shoved the name card into my hand. For a moment, when I followed her gaze, I could have sworn I saw Astrid, but that was impossible.I hadn't seen her in over a week. She should be putting things in place for the meeting, not lurking around these petty jobs as she once described them. Before I could strain my neck to be sure, we were being sent out with trays of coffee and snacks.We each moved with burdened expressions and heavy hearts, yet it seemed my situation was more dire as the others kept giving me discreet, mournful looks.For every step I took towards the hall, my heart hammered in my chest.Alpha Kael Draven. Alpha Kael?I knew I'd heard that name before. I should've figured it out the moment Beta Thorne came to our pack a week ago.Why in the world did I dream of the Northern region pack?My god... This was even more complicated than my encounter with his Beta. Unlike him, hi

Dead Meat

Nobody dared to move.Well, nobody but Ava. Like a prisoner who knew her fate had been sealed, her palm flew to her lips in horror as she watched the hot liquid splash all over the seated alphaForget being recognised, there was no running from this.Kael didn't flinch as the visible part of his skin began to turn an ugly shade of red. He didn't even wince; his fingers remained in the pool of scalding brownness. His gaze didn't leave Ava's trembling form as he cocked his head to the side, studying her intensely. "Oh my god... Alpha Draven." A muffled sob escaped her throat, and tears welled in her eyes. She immediately understood what those girls meant when they said his wolf had gone rabid. Usually, most alphas' eyes flashed a bright yellow when their wolves surfaced, but his kept floating between its normal brown and a black shade, darker than the night itself.god... the end had really come.Dax was the first one to break the silence as he jumped to his feet."Ava! You should've be

No Escape

AVAI must've misheard. My feet, which were about to descend the last step of the podium, halted at his words and met the ground in a shaky landing.If I ever had doubts about Dax being a good actor, then this has cleared it all. With everything he had done since I walked in here, no one would ever suspect him to be my mate. But this would be taking things too far. I'm sure he didn't mean it. Drawing in a shaky breath, I took a tentative step, heading towards the exit when he spoke again,"So alphas, what do you say?"Unable to control myself, my head snapped in the direction of his voice to see a practiced smile on his face as a chorus of hums of agreement erupted in the room."That won't be bad." One of the lycan Kings, I wasn't sure which, commented. "We're done here anyway." My eyes bulged at his words. I knew the quietness of the past week was a ruse. I was paying for it all. In that moment, I'd never wished for anything more as I prayed to vanish into thin air. With all th

Caught Red-Handed

AVAOne advantage, perhaps the only one, that came from my trainer being changed was that despite her loathing, like the rest, she actually trained me."Look," She had spat with disdain during our first session, "We both know all odds are against you. You've never worked out, and you're... human. My only advice to you is to run. And that's all I'll be teaching you how to do."So as soon as the shot went off, I took to my heels. Trying my best to implement each of the notable corrections she made as I encountered them."Don't ever run in a single straight line. You'll be caught."I dashed into the forest, my legs turning away from the clear path. My pulse raced, skyrocketing at the stomping of feet as they closed in on me.I stormed past the wet trees, drops of water from the leaves splashing on my face and clothes... the wetness stuck to my skin, extremely cold yet I continued.Not for a millisecond did I stop to peer at my pursuers. The fact that they still hadn't caught me meant they

The Second Step

AVA"I-I-I don't know what you're talking about."Astrid squinted at me, "Are you playing dumb right now?" She frowned, her gaze questioning if I was acting or just plain stupid. But I couldn't think of anything else to say."You know, I was right about you. You've been unusually bright. I knew something was up. I bet you thought that you could actually win this. Don't tell me you really believe that you outran five of our best wolves?"I swallowed hard.No, I didn't.I knew it was strange. However, though it was just for a fleeting moment, I wanted to think so. Eyeing her jeering form, it suddenly occurred to me that I hadn't spotted her all through the chase; I was too occupied to ponder on it."Unlike the rest," Her voice went even lower. "I wasn't after winning this stupid chase. You were mine from the very beginning. I just had to get the rest out of the game."Wait, what?A cold wave of shock washed over me. My head whipped in the direction of the forest opening as a chilling rea

Exposed

AVAI remember asking a vital question on the third day of training. I'd just fallen for the tenth time as I covered the second mile when I looked up at my trainer."I keep falling... what if, what if I'm caught? What do I do then?"Boredly picking at her nails, she tilted her head in my direction with a tired sigh."If you do, just surrender."Unfortunately, that was one piece of advice that I couldn't put to use.How do you surrender to someone who refuses to let you yield?I shouldn't have talked back. I should've played along. No. I shouldn't have opened my mouth at all. Horrified, I stumbled back as Astrid landed on all fours, baring her fangs at me.Half our audience leapt to their feet, the suspense unbearable. They all wanted to know what triggered the shift since most of our conversation went unheard due to our distance from the benches."Astrid, stand down, or you'll be disqualified." Delta, Raph warned, the veins in his neck protruding in frustration.She ignored him and in
