March Novels & Stories

It’s early morning at the start of August and it’s already hot and humid outside. Bo, Max, and Rich all meet up at my mother’s house to drive over with me to this building we’ll be guarding as part of the new job we’re all taking. I use my phone to navigate there and we sit in the car’s AC while we wait for Sy and Amory to arrive. When his silver Mercedes pulls into the lot, I kill the engine and we all get out.

"Bright, they can make the saddest of souls happy, just like you, when you want to, that is." "I never thought you'd really ask me on a date." I said despite the butterflies in my stomach. "Me too, but I wanted us to have this night, I might be away for a couple of days." My heart dropped, and I felt coldness spreading through my veins, "Why? What happened?" He let out a breath, "My pack is under attack in Jamestown." He gave me a pointed look, "A few wolves aided by a witch are on my pack members. Separate kills as it seems…"

I gripped the fingers he’d pressed into mine, and I was so damn grateful he was there, his staunch loyalty holding me together. Rhea leaned forward. "We march in three days. Prepare yourselves." I walked to the door at the end of the meeting, stood outside in the cool mountain air. I was burdened with the responsibility. Mark stood next to me with his hands in his pockets. “Well this is officially insane. I let out a small laugh. "Yeah. It is." He breathed, gazing up at the stars. “For what it’s worth, I’m on your side. Even if we all die horribly."

The evening breeze was gentle, carrying the fresh scent of early summer plants growing. In the courtyard below, children laughed and ran around. Elderly residents strolled leisurely. Life flowed on in its most ordinary and solid form. I took a deep breath, filling my lungs with fresh air. The three months after Arya's death, which had been full of her family's scheming, were like a long, oppressive nightmare. Thankfully, I had woken up. Wounds would scab over, pain would fade, and the lessons I learned would stay with me, making me stronger and wiser going forward. Night fell, and the city lights came on. I went back inside and turned on the lights. Warm illumination instantly filled the ent

My heart was beating faster with every breath I was inhaling. Then, he turned around and walked away. I exhaled a breath, I didn't realise I was holding. But the moment he disappeared into the forest, the mark started burning, it was not the usual itching, it felt like someone was burning my skin from the inside. I held it with my other hand and closed my eyes. I opened my eyes when the pain was gone, but stared at my mark in horror. My mark was bright red.

“Gosh, this was a new shirt!” “Don’t you have a washing machine?” I asked between laughs. “Babe, the expensive stuff doesn’t matter. All I want is you,” he said and pouted. I laughed again. I was really having fun with Jarred and the Stone Pack. Yes, you heard me, the Stone Pack. Jarred, Abigail, Charles, Dustin, and Alex made it up. I guess this school runs in packs, not ‘groups’ or ‘cliques’. I asked Jarred why they called themselves ‘a pack’, but he laughed at me like I was crazy.

Jordan proudly answered and I gave him an applause. The three girls just face palms, well, it's a good thing that I listened to that voice that says; 'be friend with that gay.'

I'm not happy about showing up at the office wearing a tux, but there's nothing I can do about it. We get back in the car and make our way to the office. Shane my head driver is driving us, while Zane and I sit in the back seat with Maverick. We're singing in our seats to MMMBop by Hanson. Maverick had heard me playing it one day in the office and has demanded it ever since. It quickly became his favourite song. Probably because he could pronounce a lot of the words. MMMBop. After I'd heard the song on repeat for the tenth time, I look up wondering why we weren't at the office yet.
