Callan's POVAnais told me to find Paenoe's office but I had no clue where that was. I'd seen the map her team made but I couldn't spot any buildings they described which is why I just aimlessly ran around for hours.I was running down an avenue when a hybrid jumped on me from my left. It took me a minute to finish her off. I was annoyed, these creatures kept me from my search for my mate.Once I had finished the hybrid that attacked me, I changed into my human form to catch my breath. I looked around but everything was still strange to me.I ran down the avenue in my human form, breathing heavily, covered with blood and sweat. Where was she??But then her scent hit me all of a sudden. A wave of relief washed over me like pouring rain and without wasting another moment I ran towards it. I turned right from the avenue, expecting to find my battered mate from her fight with Kajokh but the scene in front of me rendered me motionless.I couldn't believe what I was looking at. Anais, half
The heat was going to kill me. I could feel it consume me and burn from within but I couldn't stop it. It was like someone had set me on fire and all I could do was scream in agony and pain. It was this feeling I felt at first, the only thing I could sense but soon came the darkness and the light figures. The sound of howling and claws digging into flesh. I had no idea what was going on but I could feel everything yet I didn't know why was I feeling all of this. Where was I? Was this a dream? Am I dead? I had no idea. I couldn't feel my body but only the pain inflicted on it and heat coming from within me. And then it would be gone only to return again. Callan's POV"HOLD HER DOWN!" I screamed at the doctors and nurses as I tried to keep my writhing mate under control. Just like all the other times, the fit died down soon. I panted as I settled back down on my seat next to the hospital bed. I dismissed all the doctors and nurses, who were covered in beads of sweat. No one had a
I woke up from my sleep panting deeply and drenched in sweat."Anais" I heard my mate's voice and turned my head to look at the same worried expression I saw every morning since the day of the war which was exactly 3 week ago."I'm fine" I breathed out but clearly I wasn't fine. This has been going on for way too long and I could see that even Callan had stopped believing my 'I'm fine'."What did you see?" He asked gently...maybe he was trying not to set me off."It was the same...flashes of my fight with Paenoe" I said and sighed. I was getting tired now. Paenoe dying should've brought me peace but here I was still troubled and not being able to get back to normal life."I-I saw the moment when I ripped his head off...I grabbed his limp, almost unconscious body and bent down to wrap, what felt like my wolf jaw, around his neck" I slowly recalled the dream...I felt bile rise up my throat as for some reason I could almost taste his blood in my mouth."My fangs dug into his skin and the
"I'M GOING TO KILL CALLAN!" Theo screamed and I rolled my eyes."It's still not working Theodore" I said using his full name to tell him that I was just annoyed now...not angry."Well Luna you said you felt a weird energy take over you when Paenoe insulted Alpha so theoretically this should work" Theo said. I sighed and walked toward the little bench in the fighting arena where our water bottle were kept."Well it's definitely not working practically Theo" I grumbled. I wasn't annoyed with Theo...I was annoyed with myself. Why could I not channel these powers which I supposedly had??! Exactly what is wrong with me that I keep on bringing new problems into our lives."I'm sorry Luna" Theo said as he came upto me and settled down beside me."You should not be the one apologizing. You are stuck here with me instead of getting back to your work...I should be the one saying sorry Theo" I said and gave him a small smile."It's not bad at all Luna. Kind of exciting to be honest. This would b
"Dad tell her to calm down" I said as I looked up at my troubled looking father who was already gazing down at me with concerned eyes.I was currently kneeling in front of our sofa, as my mother and father sat on it."Shut your mouth before I shut it for you" My mother said angrily."What were you thinking Ani? Trying to change into that weird monster! What if you ended up hurting poor Theodore? What if you ended up hurting yourself??!" My mother wailed."Mom I am a grown person! I had it under control! You saw it yourself!" I exclaimed. Why is she being like this??! Yes it was dangerous but I considered all of it before I decided to do it. We warned the pack members not to enter the training ground while I was there and Theodore volunteered to help me! I didn't force him!"Everyday you do something more dangerous and stupid!" My mother spat angrily. "And you Alpha! How can you let my daughter put herself in danger again!?" My mother turned to Callan, who still looked shook at what wa
"Stop fidgeting" My mother said and slapped my hands to stop me from twiddling my fingers."I'm nervous! Jesus woman cut me some slack" I said as I started biting my lips instead."Madam don't do that! You will ruin your lipstick!" One of the makeup artists reprimanded me this time."Jesus child! Can you not sit straight for a second" My mother said and smacked my shoulder this time."Why are you so nervous Anais? It's just a simple ceremony" Sam chirped up, trying to calm me down. I looked at her reflection in the mirror, she was sitting down on the bed in my old room in the pack house."I know...I- it's just nerves" I grumbled. I don't know what's wrong with me! I attended Callan's Alpha ceremony and was perfectly fine! I don't know why I'm so nervous about mine!"It's going to be okay Anais. You just need to get on that stage and do everything exactly like you were taught during the rehearsal ceremony." Sam said and I let out a heavy sigh."Yea I just have to do everything I did du
“BRRRRRRIIIIINNNNNNGGGG”“BRRRRIIIINNN-” the relentless screaming of my alarm clock was cut off when I smacked the black bitchy box, still half sleep.I continued to snuggle deeper into my pillow, even after the very agitating interruption of my alarm clock but I was soon drifting back to dreamland.“ANAÏS!!!!!!!!!” I was startled awake by my mother’s screaming. I looked around, trying to find the source of threat that made my mother scream like a fucking cougar!“WHAT!!!!!?!!?” I screamed back when I found no source of immediate threat, which left me a hella lotta annoyed.“DON’T SCREAM AT ME YOUNG LADY! YOU’RE LATE FOR SCHOOL!!!!” she screamed back making me look at my alarm clock which read 8:03 am!“HOLY FUCK!” I cursed and then proceeded to fall from my bed and greet the floor with my face because I’m too much of an idiot to remove my blanket from my body first instead of trying to just walk through it as if it would magically turn to nothing once it senses my motives of moving!
“Hey Samantha” I greeted my best friend as I sat down beside her on our designated lunch table.“Hey bitch” Sam replied without even looking up at me, too consumed with her fries.“Sam no one is gonna take the fries away from you” I said jokingly but of course Sam ignored me. I would never understand her intense love for food. I mean I love food too but she pays more attention to her fries than her friends..“Why you cranky?” Samantha asked, she could always sense when I was annoyed. It’s like a superpower she has..“Nothing, all the studying is killing me. I can’t wait for school to get over” I groaned out my displeasure towards studies.“Don’t you have after school detention as well?” Samantha asked, still not looking up at me. This girl and her food..“Nah I got out because of Callan’s party tonight. Every female has to be present which means no after-school detention for anyone today” I relayed the good news.“Oh yeaaa you’re going right?” She asked finally looking up at me. Saman
