Semua Bab THE REVENGE OF THE WHITE WOLF : Bab 31 - Bab 40

After what felt like hours, the six-foot grave was done. My hands trembled, not from exhaustion but emotion. I gently stripped June of the torn clothes and wrapped him in the garment. Strangely, I felt stronger—as though grief had lent me strength. Lifting his body into the grave wasn't as hard as I expected. Once I'd placed him carefully inside, I climbed out and stood above him, staring down.I stood above it, staring down at my best friend's body. I remembered when we built a fort behind the elder’s hut using stolen cloaks and broken sticks. June had insisted it was our kingdom. “And you, my dear,” he had said, placing a flower crown on my head, “will be my queen of mischief.”That same June now lay buried beneath the earth.“June,” I began, voice thick with tears.“Your body is about to be returned to the earth….. I know your soul is already resting, but I still need to say goodbye to what's left of you.” “Goodbye to the boy I grew up with. My brother from another mother. The cl

My steps were steady, not too slow and not too fast. Just steady. Glancing behind me like that figure chased me.I needed a place to rest my head. I was exhausted. And I was hungry.The lake came into view, my only source of water for now.Coming back here stirred something sharp and heavy in me. I could see myself holding June's dying body again, crying until my voice broke.This memory was so fresh, it stung. Tears gathered in my eyes, but I blinked them away. I bent over the water, scooping handfuls to my lips and gulping it down until my throat hurt.I stripped naked and went into the lake. Letting the water swallow me whole. My skin stung from the cold, but it washed away some of the heaviness in my chest.After a while, I stepped out and dressed up.I walked the few miles that led to the Moon goddess's portal, not expecting it to be there, and I was right.It was just a cave, shrouded at the entrance by long strips of fresh vine leaves swaying gently in the wind. A perfect home

I woke up at night, panting. The nightmare was back. The rogue jumped from behind to attack me, the deep slicing of its claws to my side. I woke up at the point where it was about to bite my head off. I was sweating even though it was cold. The fire was dead; no wonder. The vine leaves swayed gently to the rhythm of the breeze. I stood up and stepped out. Taking in fresh air. I observed my surroundings, but there was nothing out of the ordinary.I went back to the place where I had seen the paw prints, wanting to see if there was anything new, but there was nothing. It was clean; even the previous prints had disappeared.I couldn't sleep, so I took off my clothes and shifted and ran to the high place in the mountains and sat on the same spot, overlooking the lowlands below, but then something caught my eye.I narrowed my eyes to get a better view. There was a fire in the distance, in an open space.I climbed down from the hill and began to trace the smoke. I moved stealthily; my sens

I stood there for a while, watching their movements and trying to read their lips, hoping to catch what they were discussing.I caught the words "can be dangerous."I needed to get in there for a better angle.I regret not bringing some of that cash with me. Where would I have put it anyway?I slid through the glass doors and hurriedly walked to a table close to them, my head bowed and face covered.The playboy sat with his back to me, the bald guy on his left side, and the alpha was opposite them, facing me directly. But he was staring outside, at the same time listening to what the bald-headed guy was saying, his fingers drumming the side of his coffee cup rhythmically.“What would you like to order?" A cheerful waitress approached me, pen and notepad in hand.I was shocked; I drew my hoodie over my face and shook my head.“Can you give me just a minute? I'm trying to remember this food I've been dying to have," I lied.She nodded and walked away to another customer.I was attentive

I was perched at an alley that connected to the forest. My eyes were on Isla, observing her reaction.She stood frozen, like someone had pressed her pause button. I could see her blinking repeatedly, almost like she was trying to convince herself that she didn't just see me. Slowly she raised her, scanning her surroundings with quick nervous glances. Horror was written all over her face as she peered at every passerby, looking for me.I was satisfied at the sight. she was horrified and doubting what her own eyes.Turning away, I slipped back into the woods as quietly as I came. Halfway through, I shifted and gripped the bag of what I bought with my fangs, running deeper intothe woods, away from Ember Moon, towards my cave.I had been waiting for midnight, it meant something was going to die. It finally came When I finally stepped outside, snow was falling. The first snow of the season, I took it as a good omen.Starting off at a slow jog, my paws landed silently on moss and grass. My
