All of Vamoire’s power is on both of her hands that is pinning Maridelle’s head on the ground. “Die!” Her hands are trembling, seething. But to Maridelle, she had completely forgotten about her own fight. Vamoire notices it and wonderingly followed Maridelle’s stare. She chuckled devilishly upon knowing the reason. “I had changed my mind. I’ll postpone your death a little longer.” She pulled Maridelle’s hair, positioned it better to face the merciful situation that Alpha Lachlan is in and ruthlessly uttered near her ear, “That wolf that you love so dearly is going to die before your eyes. I’ll make sure you’ll see how Jek will tear him to pieces. Then the demise of your companions will be next.” She takes delight on the images of their enemies’ bodies lying lifeless before them. “Then I will kill you.”Vamoire has painted the scene so vivid that the next time Maridelle lifted the lids of her eyes, the red fiery color of its orbs were disclosed. This time those eyes are tinted with th
Days after the bloody encounter of the two opposing sides, the storm has subsided; the enemies has been defeated and although, the damage has been done so greatly, Alpha Lachlan and Maridelle as well as the Alliance has almost recovered from their wounds and from the effects of the encounter. They had returned to their respective abodes and pack, enjoying their triumph.“How are you?” Maridelle said as she neared Alpha Lachlan who has been looking at a distance in the balcony of his chamber. His thoughts are wandering along the memories of the yester days events. All the hardships that they have been through, the enduring, the loses, and the pain; the smiles, the tears, the camaraderie, and betrayal.He tilted his head to see who it was; his lips curved upwards upon seeing Maridelle. Her face is bruised and she's wearing a white cardigan to conceal the rest of her wounds and bruises. However, her countenance belies her appearance. Her aura is brighter than ever. Alpha Lachlan slipped

BLOOD AWAKENING CHAPTER 1: DEVIL IN THE DARKA pavillion of myriad stars lingers on the firmament; for the first few hours of darkness, there seemed no sign of an upcoming rain. Busy as before, the boulevard owns a hundred and more people probably going home. Streetlights are on providing them sufficient illumination.The clock swings its hands; and the lingering stars hide behind the dark clouds. A drizzle had managed to empty the street as fast as a bullet train. Few of the passerbys had taken shelter. They went to the nearby stores dreaming of wet-free coats and paper bags. But, emerging on the street corner, a lass of fair complexion, brown hair, and tired eyes continued walking. She likes a little of the heavenly teardrops; it doesn’t matter if she get soaked sooner. All she is thinking is the embrace of a warm comfortable bed ready to ease the aches of all day work.“Mari!” shouted Louisiana, a forty-year-old seller at a bake shop where she always buy herself good bread rolls. “
BLOOD AWAKENING CHAPTER 2: Fangs or Howl Her head is throbbing, burning like wildfire. Uncontrollable. Painful. Numerous time she had yelled, calling for an adequate help. No one seemed to hear. She continued braving her agony, coiling atop the bed she has been dreaming of last night. Her hand deepening in her bed that the blanket crinkled. Her back ached. Arms having visible purple bruises. “Oh, thanks, you’re finally awake, Mari,” her Aunt Lily spoke fretfully, rushing to her bed. She was in the kitchen preparing their meals when she heard Mari’s miserable screams. “What’s happening to me? It’s so painful for goodness sake! What’s happening to me? Can I have my medicine, Aunt Lily?” “You came home last night showered in rain. When I opened the door, there I saw you and then you collapsed in front of me. Don’t you remember anything?”Perfectly crafted lies. All lies. Lily knew more. However, she has to ask questions to assure what to keep will be secured. “No. The pain has alrea
Blood Awakening Chapter 3: Secrets Unearth Heavy breaths and fingers bent against the wooden door. She wasn't sure if she's going to knock or just wait till her Aunt Lily found out she's gone and would bombard her phone with calls and text. But she is considering another option: to suddenly disappear without a word. Mari knew this would surely hurt the person she considered a mother, the only one whose life is devoted to her. However, if she present herself before her eyes, she's afraid of her aunt's reaction upon seeing her with furs on her body; how would she react if she tells her about growing fangs; or will she still accept her niece if she learned of her consuming human blood or worse her own blood. On top of all those overthinking, what's stopping her most is the daunting thought of the possible inability to control herself—the what ifs of being beastly and inflicting pain to her beloved. One...two...three—knock. It took a lot of courage to do that; however, it is well compe
Blood Awakening Chapter 4: Meeting The Alpha Long hours of driving had exhausted both Lily and Mari. Their car is parked few meters away from the gate with lamps situated on both side of the tall concrete post. Two large black wolves guarding, walking to and fro ensuring no outsiders nor enemies' force are lurking in the dark. For decades and counting there were no narratives of fights and hovering war, but this place is always ready. They never put their guards down. Lily's eyes penetrated on those iron bars; there she saw revelry among drunken guards who probably just finished their duty, laughter of young future wolves mimicking grown-ups and trying to pretend as if they had their lycanthropy had occupied the ambiance. This is the same scenario she missed. It's been a really long time of being away. Lily's introspecting sentiments she tried to escape. It's been long years of abandoning her pack—leaving her family. She doesn't want to but some situation has forced her to sacrifice
Blood Awakening Chapter 5: DoubtsIt has been weeks since their visitors came, but Lachlan could not get over her. From afar, on the balcony of his room, that provides a vantage point over the ground where ceremonies would often be held, he persistently watches her. Sometimes, Lachlan would shift just to vividly hear her delicate laughter with the young pups as they play on the ground. His been doing that since after the day he first behold her rare beauty. She definitely had intrigued him. “Alpha Lachlan,” called his beta Mellow. “Did I disturbed you?” he added. He noticed Lachlan been in a pensive state.“No, not all.” Lachlan faces Mellow.“So, how was it?”“Fine. Nothing unusual since day one.”“Okay. You may now leave. That is all that I need for now.”“Is something bothering you, Alpha?” Mellow hesitantly asked. He knew Lachlan since childhood. It was always been the two of them who shares almost everything like brothers do. Lachlan's hold on his wine glass tightened. Slowly,
