I will never need qualifications, so in my mind I will never need school. Yesterday we went on a brief tour around the town, although there wasn't much to see. I find it hilarious in the way that nearly everything in this town is called 'Lupine Peak' something. Seriously, even the tiny cinema with only two screens is named after the quaint pintsize town. A few people milled around, glancing curiously at me and nodding respectfully to Tammy, and I could not help but notice how different everything is here. It's as if I stepped back in time, where little clans of people have their own separate land, before cities were ever created. It sure is significantly quiet up here, but sometimes quiet is

Chapter 1: The Boy No One Noticed Rain poured heavily over the quiet city of Brookhaven, turning the streets into shining mirrors of neon light and passing headlights. Most people had already rushed home to escape the storm. But one young man was still walking alone. Ethan Cole pulled his worn hoodie tighter around his head as he walked along the empty sidewalk.

Gwen sat beside Eddie and kept looking at his handsome face. Eddie could be seen walking on a lonely road. The lonely road is an isolated street. It seems no one has ever stepped foot there. No single sign of a car. There’s no sign of activity there. No noise or shadows. Eddie felt he was walking through a ghost town. Eddie could feel fear and anxiety in all his body, thinking if there could be somebody by his side but no one was there. He kept walking and the road seemed endless. "Hello!, Anybody here". He called out, only to be greeted by the response of his echo.

"You do know that's not its name right?" I knew but I still pretended not to, to erase all the years of solitude in this forbid place.

Because that was Willow Way summed up in a night. With sheep bleating. Willow Way was a typical town in an even dead part of the county where nothing happened. Frightfully boring.

Now, she was only Freya's mother. Freya got up and threw herself into Mom's arms, clinging to her. "Mom, you've been so busy. I haven't seen you in days. I missed you so much."

If we spent the night together, it only meant he saw me as his mate, and he was also in love with me, right? That was why he could not resist the temptation because he craved for my body the same way I craved for his. I looked at the bruises on my arms, it was all worth it. But my smile faded when Lucian was nowhere to be found. I looked side to side, expecting to see him on the other side, but I was well aware from the time I had awoken that I was alone.

Her earlier insults about their masculinity were a thing of the past. An hour later, they passed a rickety sign, welcoming them to Smiths Town, home to the largest coal mine and the oldest power plant in the country. Population 3200 and not counting. All the young ones had left. There'd be no more reproduction here. "We are not in Kansas anymore, Toto!" Mark said as they slowed down and cruised through the deserted streets.

Arlo drove off without a destination in mind. Perhaps somewhere far from meeting rooms, from constant surveillance, far from everything. And what awaited his journey was the same mountain in that small town, their villa sat on top, untouched and empty. For the first time ever since his family’s death, he was now alone. No one to watch him, no one to judge him. No expectations. Quietly, he walked outside and headed towards the vast field. The horses they used to ride were gone from the stables, and it reminded him again of his loneliness.
