Around Me Familiar Faces Novels & Stories

I didn't take the time to hesitate as I made my way inside and was greeted by Grayson's welcoming embrace. An hour later Grayson and I made our way down the stairs hand in hand, I had almost forgotten about the meeting he was hosting. I began to hear voices drifting around us as we walked into the family room and were greeted by a number of waiting pack members. I recognized many of the faces from the night of my party but noticed a few unfamiliar ones. Everyone greeted me warmly, Amara puffed out her chest with pride. She loved the idea of someday being a Luna as she basked in their respect. I stayed close to Grayson's side as I joined him in welcoming everyone. A familiar face stuck out ag

Somewhere where I was wanted and needed. As I scanned over the faces in the crowd, my eyes landed on a pair of eyes staring right back. It was a man in a dark suit who could have been extended family for any of my classmates. Yet, a strange feeling of familiarity washed over me. I could have sworn I had seen him around town several times over the last few days. Our neighborhood consisted of families that had lived here for decades, so a new face was easy to spot.

The face that faced me was an older version of Dominic. My god. I was a gone girl, now I was seeing him In total strangers. “I'm sorry if I woke you up. My name is Nick, I live not far from here.” I had a neighbour? My heart started beating in my chest. The last time we had been here, there had been no soul nearby. What if this guy was one of Dominic's enemies. How had I put myself in such an awful position? “Nice to meet you, Nick. It's always nice to know there are neighbours around, close by.” I said with calm I did not feel. He didn't know me and I didn't him. I wasn't going to show him how frightened I was.

Maybe Clay was like my cousin, maybe he has a reason why he did that. I suddenly remembered our first meeting in our province. It’s just funny to think that our first meeting was like some sort of cliche stories. We bump at each other. ~Flashback~ Wandering around, while scanning my eyes to my surroundings is very relaxing. So refreshing. I don't know this place very well, it's been a long time since I've been here. So here am I thinking of going around first. Rice and corn crops surrounds the environment. I can see the farmers planting crops. Womans or even the youths helps their father or husband.

they all greeted as I settled in the center of the table. I clasped my palms and regarded their faces. Several familiar faces I had grown to know in the past four years. Those who I remembered to always be poker-faced and solemn, those whose faces were always full of smiles but yet harbored gazes full of venom. And the worst of them all, those that were always neutral and watched on in indifference. I was used to them all.

Out of every person they could have encountered, in every possible place, why did it have to be them? “They didn’t see us, did they?” she whispered sharply. Fred had already lowered himself in his seat. “I think it’s too late, Sis,” he whispered back. “They’re coming this way.” Nihan’s heart sank. A cheerful voice suddenly rang out beside their booth. “What a surprise!” Nihan slowly looked up. Five familiar people stood beside them. Carmen. Jerome. Courtney. Mary. And Logan. Carmen smiled brightly, but something calculating flickered behind her eyes.

I stepped closer, needing a better look. It was a family portrait: four children with their mother and father. The portrait was burned where the father was and all but one of the children’s faces were scratched away. The only faces I could make out were the mother and daughter. I blinked, something about them seemed so familiar—but I couldn’t place them no matter how hard I tried. I stepped forward and gently placed my hand against the mother’s face, feeling connected to her. “That’s my mother.” A familiar voice said behind me.

Satisfied with my meal, I eased into my seat as I sipped the drink Amara offered me. Through out, I noticed that Jason's eyes were on me but I didn't even turn to smile at him. "Wait, who are these people?" I looked over the many faces that walked around. "Oh, there are different packs here. The White Water, the Blue Moon, and the Black Mountain are here." Amara assured me. Bored, I decided to look at the people who were passing by. May be there was someone I knew. Everything was well with me not until when , the people at my table grew quiet. I turned and looked at them.

I asked. “Well, I thought you might like to know that I bumped into a familiar face this morning as I went to re-caffinate myself.” I frown, a familiar face? In the town? I have no clue who he would have bumped into. Other than the business associates we have, I know very few people in the town. Most of our contacts are within packs across the local area. “Ooooh, I think I know!” Levi bounced up and down in his chair like an excited child. I don’t think Jasmine needed to consider having a child, she had already gained one when she discovered Levi was her mate…

Otherwise I’d be locked in my room, working. I recognize a few faces as I near. Friends of Amora’s from college or business school. I don’t recall their names, just that they look like cutouts of rich men with idle hands. Paunchy, soft, in new exercise clothes and golf shirts. A few dads, based on their age. One man I recognize as an investor. Jonathan will be thrilled. I make a mental note to speak to him once we get to the top.
