Chapter One: Is This It?

Chapter OneVaelora's POV The woods are bleeding again.I'm running- breathless and barefoot- beneath a blood-red moon, my lungs burning with each gasp. Shadows loom over the trees, whispering things I can't understand. My name. My end.Branches claw at my skin as if they know me. Like they want me to stay.Then I see it. Again.The wolf.Its golden, hollow eyes stare at me with disdain, fury swirling viciously in them. It's standing in the clearing like it's been waiting for me. Massive. Black as night. Its mouth part slowly and a sound escapes. A growl that splits my chest into two with fear.I freeze, my breath catching in my throat.My wolf stirs inside me- sudden, sharp, sickening. The pull is so strong I feel like I'm about to split apart by just standing there. I want to shift. I need to. But my body won't let me.It never does.I take a step back.“Please.” I whisper, falling to my knees. My throat tightens and claws start to form but get stuck mid-change. The pain intensif

Chapter Two: Dare To Dream

Chapter TwoVaelora's POV Micheal has been out since past 9am and all I've been able to do is suck around the house while limping on one foot.My phone has been buzzing with Ashton's calls since I woke up from sleep this morning yet, I've ignored everyone of it.He'd asked me out on a date last week but even though I knew I had no interest in going, I couldn't find it in me to say no.Not because I don't like him. I do. In fact, I like Ashton a lot but, he isn't what I've been looking for. At first, I thought he was the one and maybe I just needed a little time to figure out my feeling but with time, the disappointment I've faced for the past four years after 18th birthday, resurfaced.“Ouch!” I cry out as I step on a broken bottle, instantky pulling my bottom lip in between my teeth.My gaze settles on the floor and I roll my eyes, disgust crawling up my spine. The entire floor of the living room is littered with broken beer bottles, cigarettes and packs of used matches.It reeks of

Chapter Three: A Flicker Of Hope

Chapter ThreeVaelora's POV Maya paces round the room, shooting me another menacing glare before sighing.“Sometimes, I think there's something really wrong with you and it's not visible to the eyes.”I stay quiet, fiddling with the hem of one of the dresses on the floor. “How do you even explain all of this?” She questions and I look up at her.“It just happened, and I already told you that I'm fine. These are minor.” I point to the cut on my forearm, smoothening it.Her brows shoot up. “Seriously? You have cuts all over your body and you say they're just ‘minor’?!” I shrug, wondering why she's so concerned about the small, visible cuts on my body rather than focusing on the unhealed gash on my forehead that's now exposed.“Is this because of the party?” I glance at her.“No, but it's part of. I mean, you obviously won't be able to wear the dress.” I frown. “What do you mean?”She walks over to me, crouching down to the floor. She lifts my chin up with one finger.“You won't be a

Chapter Four: Unbelievable Reality

Chapter FourVaelora's POV The air is crisp and wet as Matt, Maya's brother, takes the turn that leads to what I assume is the packhouse of the NightMoor Pack.Maya cocks her head over her shoulder, giving me a curious, knowing glance. I ignore her and focus on the road, my body tingling with anxiety and a bit of excitement.“We're here.” Matt says and turns off the engine.I take in the environment, marvelling at the beauty that stands in front of me. The mansion is about seven feet tall and there's a huge, iron gate protecting it.The building resembles a cathedral with its long pillars and dark, brooding colors. The gate is tall and large, enough to swallow the house whole.I step out of the car, pressing my clutch against my body as Maya comes to stand beside me.“It's so beautiful.” She whispers and I nod, agreeing with her.“Let's go in.” Matt says, walking up to the gate.We follow him and wait behind as he shows our ID to the security before letting us in.A gasp catches in m

Chapter Five : Unspoken Rejection

Chapter FiveVaelora's POV Cold air hits my skin, making me shudder. I hold my breath, watching him walk graciously to the empty seat but with a nonchalance I've never seen before.The hall is drop dead silent as everyone focuses on him. I can hear my heart beating loudly in my chest, awe and anticipation wrestling for a space in my head."He's beautiful." Maya whispers besides me but all I can do is nod, unable to tear my gaze away from this man.'How on earth could someone so divine be my fated mate?'With a gentleness I've never seen, he sits on the chair and flattens the sleeve of his garment with his hands before looking.I sharply turn to Maya, my heart nearly leaping out of my chest as our gazes almost meet.“What's wrong? Are you okay?” There's concern written all over her face as she asks but I can only nod.“Y-yes.” Her brows furrow. She doesn't believe me. “Are you sure? Why did you turn your head like that?” I clear my throat and look away, making sure to avoid his gaze.

Chapter Six: A Glimpse Of Relief

Chapter SixVaelora's POV Sound of glass breaking echoes through the walls of the hall but there's no glass in sight, it's just my heart shattering into endless pieces and I'm the only one who can hear it.The room is still roaring with applause and laughter as I watch her take tentative steps towards him, her slender fingers clutching the train of her dress.A tear slips down my cheek but I ignore it, fixating on the sight in front of me. He puts out his hand to her and she places hers in his, helping her up the podium. With a small smile, he leans over and kisses the top of her head, his eyes holding mine in an intense gaze.It's mocking, like he's pleased with how I look at that moment.Another tear rolls down my cheek and I wipe it off this time, tearing my gaze away from him before looking down at Maya who has a disgusted look on her face.I want to run away from here, live outside of my skin and never be seen again but I can't. Not when my best friend needs me right now.Blair

Chapter Seven : Almost, Never Enough

Chapter SevenVaelora's POV Pain shoots through my entire body as he dumps his entire weight on me.Snapping my eyes shut and taking a deep breath, I raise myself up a bit and push him further onto my shoulder, passing him a quick glare before banging my fist on the gate.“If you keep doing that, you're going to lose your knuckles very soon.”I ignore him, blowing cold air on my fist before raising it to the gate again.“Are you just stubborn or something?” He asks and this time, I turn to face him.“How about you keep quiet and let me get you in? I could leave you out here for dead, you know.” I warn, turning back to the gate.He mumbles something under his breath but again, I ignore him.My teeth chatter as we wait for the security to get the door. The torn dress is now hanging loosely on my body and if I don't find a way to cover up, I'll freeze to death.I hear footsteps and exhale, grateful that someone finally decided to get the door. A young man that seems to be around the sam

Chapter Eight: Fragmented Hope

Chapter EightVaelora's POV Maya's warm hand softly brush against my ear and I shiver, pushing myself deeper into the sheets as she adjusts the comforter on me.We got back to her house a few minutes ago after leaving the party abruptly because of my misfortune.“I'll go get you a cup of coffee.” She says and stands up to leave but I stop her.“I'm fine. I just need a little bit of warmth before I get going.” She shakes her head and sits down, pressing her hand over my forehead.“I don't think there's any need to worry about going home, Vae. You can stay here for the night” “Micheal is going to have my head on a stick if I don't, and I really don't want to be a bother to your mom.”“Vaelora, she doesn't have a problem with you staying here and you know that. Besides, it's only for this night. I can't let you go out there, it's almost 1am.” She explains and turns away.A sigh leaves my lips. She doesn't understand what kind of dynamic I have with Micheal and I can't even bring mysel

Chapter Nine: Choosing Her

Chapter NineVaelora's POV My breath catches in my throat as I stumble on a big rock in front of me that I didn't notice was there.I hear the crack of bone and hiss, the sting pushing through the entirety of my legs as I push myself off the floor. Without daring to look back, I pick up the pace and race forward, slower this time.A loud bang shakes the whole forest but I don't stop, wiping furiously at the tears that's spilling from my eyes.It growls again and I cuss under my breath, ignoring Blair who's niggling at me to shift. It won't do any good for me to wait and shift while this big, black guy is chasing me with full force.He'd kill me with just one swipe to the neck.Another loud bang reverberates through the forest again and I halt, the wind suddenly so heavy that my feet begin to drag me backwards. Fear grips me and I glance back to see it staring at me with its eyes glowing red but I notice something.Those eyes…. They look familiar, like I've seen them before.Silver sp

Chapter Ten: Gateway To Hell

Chapter TenVaelora's POV Maya's hands are cold as she fumes to the door with me calmly following behind her.I swear, she is scary sometimes.She turns around to glare at me before opening the door wide enough for me to enter.I swallow hard as she bangs the door shut and gestures for me to sit at the last booth in the cafe, walking ahead to order drinks for us.Whatever she's doing, I know that she's really upset and I'm the cause.I shouldn't have told her about Zarek. Gosh, I'm stupid sometimes.“It feels like taking my man but I don't even know why I'm so angry.” She spits as she walks over to the table and takes a seat opposite me, passing me my drink.It's freezing cold so she got me a piping hot coffee.I take a sip and set the cup down on the table before folding my arms over my chest and exhaling.“Maya, I don't think being this angry is going to do any good.”She shoots me another glare and I look away, a snicker lodging in my throat but truthfully, I want nothing more tha
