The tranquil rays of sunshine woke the world from its slumber, The sky was a dusky shade of blue, with a few hints of orange and pink peeking through the clouds. The air is crisp and fresh, carrying the scent of dew and the promise of a new day. Birds chirp melodiously, adding to the peaceful ambiance.
The horizon was painted with a golden hue as if beckoning the world to come and embrace another day. It is a moment of stillness before the hustle and bustle of daily life begin, making it a perfect time for contemplation and reflection.However, today was unlike any other day at Hallow Groove, four dead bodies had been found by the roadside by early morning hikers. One of which had rushed to the sheriff's station to report the murder."What the fuck could have done this?," Deputy Sheriff Tommy said with a frown. It was a horrendous sight. bones and flesh scattered around the road as vultures feasted on the corpses.The bystanders wore a grave expressions as their gaze held terror, fear, and uncertainty. They knew of the wolves wandering the dark, however, they had never had an incident like this for thirty years. They could feel the dark omen that clouded the small town of Hallow Grove."Hey! Keep them away from the scene," Sheriff Byod told one of the officers on standby noticing the people slowly approaching the scene. The last thing he wanted was to engrave this horrific sight into the people."What do we do sheriff?, what do we tell their parents?," Tommy asked. He was an average looking young man in his early twenties with a towering height, short dark hair, black eyes, and a very large muscular build."I don't know Tommy," Sheriff Byod let out a frustrated sigh. despite his uncertainties, one thing was certain, the Klaus brothers were somehow involved. It couldn't simply be a coincidence, the night those two strange men show up, four people end up dead."For now we need to keep the folks calm, tell them it was a wolf attack, the teenagers were drunk and wandered off to the deeper part of the woods,""Sheriff Byod!" His attention was grabbed by Alexa who slowly worked her way through the crowd only to be stopped by the officers on standby"Shit, what is she doing here?," Sheriff Byod said with a frown, "Get her out of here Tommy," He ordered his deputy who held a dreamy stare at Alexa as though enchanted by her beauty that his mind had completely zoned out from reality"Tommy!" He yelled his name"She..sheriff," He was brought back to reality by the sheriff's voice. He smiled sheepishly at his sheriff knowing he was caught red-handed drooling over Alexa like an idiot."Good to have you back deputy, now get her out of here,""Yes sheriff," He said and made haste for Alexa"Hey don't touch me," She glared at an officer, "Look I just need to have a little chat with the sheriff,""I'm sorry ma'am can't let you in, sheriff orders," He refused earning a pout from Alexa. She had heard the rumor of a murder in town and had rushed to the scene."Okay fine," She said darting her eyes for prying eyes before whispering, "How much would it cost for you to turn a blind eye and let me in?,""How..how can you say that?, preposterous, I don't take kindly to such insult!," The officer's cheeks heated up in embarrassment watching Alexa pull out a few bucks from her pockets and dangled it across his face, "Fuck," He cursed feeling his conviction shaking as his eyes followed the buck like a charm"That's enough officer," Tommy chimed in smiling at Alexa whose gaze was sullen at his arrival knowing it was impossible to bribe the goody two shoes, "I'll take from here," he added as the officer walked away disappointed he had missed out on easy money"Prosperous my ass!" She sneered at the officer"What are you doing here Alexandra?," He asked crossing his arm over his large sturdy chest"Could ask you the same thing," She retorted with a pout staring through her glasses which made her look adorable. A deceiving appearance as the girl was as fierce and bold as a lion."Well genius, I'm the deputy sheriff remember?," He said earning a chuckle from Alexa"Oh you're right, totally forgot, can't accept the reality of lazy junkie Tommy becoming the deputy," She mocked with a coy smirk, "This town must have run out of men to give you that title,""Hahaha really funny," He chuckled, "What do you want Alexa?, this is a crime scene you're not supposed to be here,""Oh come on Tommy, I'm not just anyone remember, I thought friends were supposed to have each other back," She argued pouting her lips in disappointment, "Except we aren't friends...""Real smart Alexa," He gently pinched her across the cheeks, "Look if it was up to me I'd let you in, but I can't, sheriff orders,""Can you at least tell me what happened?,""I don't know, their body was dismembered like a wild beast attack," He said taking her by the wrist and leading her away from the crowd and eavesdropping ears."Dismembered?, what do you mean?," She asked with a frown. She knew of the wolves that lurked in the deep part of the forest. nonetheless, they had never had an attack as no one ever wandered to that part of the forest, and besides why would a wolf drag its victim all the way to the roadside?, it didn't make any sense."My guess is just as good as yours," Tommy said watching her face as one would the moon basking in the beauty and perfection of her face. Although he hadn't yet told her about his feelings for her, he had the idea that she already knew."Some of the folks said they heard roars and howls during midnight," He said pulling a cigarette from his pocket and placing it on his lips. Picking a lighter from his pocket he tried lighting up his cigarette"You've got to be fucking kidding me," He cursed at the lighter which refused to ignite. Annoyed and disappointed, he tossed it aside and returned the cigarette to its pack."Wolves?," Alexandra asked"They said it didn't sound like wolves, more like some beast,""Don't you think it's odd?," Alexandra asked deep in thought, "These people end up dead after those two brothers show up?,""I do, but still, how could a human possibly do this?, it's impossible only a wild beast can," He had heard about the arrival of the Klaus brothers, and although the timing seemed off, he still couldn't believe a human possessed the strength to rip through flesh and bone."So you believe it's simply a coincide.." She halted her words as Tommy placed his fingers over his lips telling her to keep quiet. She turned to the side and found Sheriff Byod walking in quick steps toward them."God damn it! Tommy," He cursed. At a single glance, he could tell his deputy had ratted out the whole details to Alexa."I'm sorry sheriff," Tommy apologized lowering his gaze"I don't have time for this, you have to leave,""Leave?, to where?," He asked the sheriff who replied"I need you to pay the Klaus brothers a visit, ask them a few questions to find out what they know and if they have anything to do with it, I'll stay back here and, calm the folks,""Understood sir," He nodded in agreement before Byod walked away toward the troubled crowd to explain the cause of the murder"I'm coming with you,""What?," Tommy snapped his gaze to Alexa"Look either way I'm going up that hill for an interview, so you can either let me come with you so you can keep me safe with your big strong arms," She winked at him, "Or I can go alone, defenseless and alone,"Hours before dawnFour teenagers camped in the heart of the forest at midnight. The stars shone above them, the small flames of their campfire illuminating their faces. "Okay you are up next," A girl with Viking blonde hair and blue eyes said with a seductive smile at the boy besides her. He wore gothic rings and had a cigarette settled between his cherry lips. He was the personification of the term, bad boy."Dare!" He spoke confidently earning a grin of mischief from the boy and girl seated opposite them."Okay," She hummed biting her lips, "I dare you to kiss me," "Your wish is my command princess," Said the bad boy with a drooling grin plastered on his face as he gently cupped her face with his hands, his thumbs caressing her cheeks as he leaned in to kiss her. She closed her eyes, her breathing quickening in anticipation, and then his lips met hers."Ooo!' The two teenagers with them goggled and broke out a hearty laughter.His kiss was soft at first which soon deepened, their
As the morning sun began to warm the forest floor, Alexandra and Tommy walked through the dirt path that wound its way up the hill. The leaves crunched beneath their feet as they took her first steps upward, the dew still clinging to the blades of grass, glistening in the golden light.The trees stretched up around her, their branches reaching towards the sky like fingers desperate to touch the heavens. The air was cool and refreshing, each breath she took filling her lungs with the crisp scent of pine.As she walked, her gaze flickered across the forest floor, taking in the little details that made this place so magical. The tendrils of ivy clung to the trunks of the trees like sleeping serpents, the tiny mushrooms dotted the ground like polka dots, and the occasional flutter of a butterfly's wings as it danced around her, carefree and joyful.Ava felt her heart's pace quicken with each step she took as they arrived at the brother's house.Nestled amongst a grove of tall trees, the b
"Are you alright?," Tommy asked Lucifer who adverted his gaze from Alexa. His usual taunting smirk settled on his perfect face."Just peachy," He told, "What can I help you with Mr?""Tommy, just Tommy, I'm the deputy sheriff of this town," "Oh my, what brings the deputy sheriff of this fine town to my humble home?," He asked, his gaze however was locked on the girl next to him. She seemed like his polar opposite yet captivating. Her fierce and bold attitude was incredibly appealing. She had lips and a body to die for. Fuck why didn't he notice until now?"Well there's no easy way to say this," Tommy held his breath before adding, "Four teenagers were found dead this morning," His report earned him a gasp from Lucifer"Dead?, oh my that is so horrible," His exaggeration and his fake concern irked Alexa as her voice twitched in annoyance. Was he a psychopath?, she thought with a frown"Hey show some empathy, fucking psycho," "Ahem!, let me handle this," Tommy nudged her across the sh
"Well Lucian, this large pile of muscle here is the deputy sheriff for this God-forsaken town, Tommy, and the gorgeous beauty with a sharp tongue over here is Alexandra," Lucifer told with a smirk earning an eye roll from Alexandra who couldn't keep her gaze on him for too long. He was only covered by the white towel which made concentrating on his beautiful face difficult."Alexandra, Tommy, it's a pleasure to meet you," Lucian said in a tired voice crossing his leg over the other "Pleasure is all mine," Alexa said with a forced smile, "We have a few questions,""Please go ahead," He expressed unable to tear his gaze from her. There was something about her that caught his attention. He couldn't quite put a finger on it. Was it her beauty?, or perhaps her bold and fierce attitude?He was consumed by different emotions, desire, lust, and empathy, emotions he had long forgotten, drenched in the horrors of his cursed fate and past. What is this emotion?, he thought unable to tear his ga
"What is it Lucifer?, you're unusually quiet," Lucian inquired. The dark-haired man stood in the corner of the room, arms crossed and scowling as he watched his brother and his mate laughing and chatting together. He couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy deep in his chest, it seemed like Lucian captivated Alexa's attention, while he was left out in the cold.How strange, he thought to himself. He was funnier, and better looking than his brother, so why was she interested in him instead?, why would she choose the ever-quiet brooding, self loathing man who preferred to keep to himself?At this point he wished she was Lycan, so he wouldn't only be one affected by the mate bond and make his job much easier.He tried to mask his jealousy in silence but no matter how hard he tried to hide his jealousy, it was clear as day on his face. His eyes were narrowed and his jaw was clenched, and anyone who came near him could feel the tense energy radiating off of him."Does she amuse you Lucian
The town was rowdy and distraught, as the news of the murder of four teenagers spread like wildfire among the folks of hallow grove. It had been hours since the death of the four teenagers that had shattered the peace of this normally sleepy town. Their deaths had left the community devastated.The once-bustling streets were now void of life, the shops and stores all shuttered. The few people who did venture outside moved quickly, their faces set in grim determination as they went about their business. The sense of sadness was palpable, the grief for lost sons, brothers, and friends weighing heavily in the air.In the town square, there was a makeshift memorial set up for the four teenagers, Adrain, Clara, Ellis, and Ella. A sea of flowers, balloons, and candles adorned the base of a large statue. The names of the deceased were inscribed on a plaque at the foot of the statue- a reminder of the tragedy that had befallen this small town. A somber group of mourners stood around the memo
It had been a long year since Alexa and Skylar had seen each other. Life had taken them in different directions, with Skylar moving out of town for work and Alexa staying at home to care for their sick father and manage his little shop. But now they were finally reunited and sitting across from each other at the bookshop which held many dear memories in the heart of their hometown.Skylar looked at Alexa with tears in her eyes, feeling overwhelmed with emotion. "I've missed you so much, Lexa""I've missed you too Sky," She replied, also getting teary-eyed, "So, tell me Everything?, how was life in the city?," Alexa asked with a sparkling gaze while Mr. Oliver left the girls alone."Well, it wasn't much," She shrugged it off, "You want to know the best tut the city?," She paused watching Alexa's interest pique at her question, "Hot sexy delicious guys,""Huh?," Alexa facepalmed herself, as Skylar laughed out loud. Seems she still hadn't changed, Alexa thought with a smile, "Well seems
Skylar felt grief-stricken over the deaths of the teenagers in this small town. She knew it would change this town forever. The peace and tranquility it once had might never be the same. She, however, using logic was unable to believe the two strangers had anything to do with it. "It's such a shame," She said with a sigh before sipping a little of her hot cup of coffee, a little smile of mischief broke between her lips as she asked, "Your cheeks blushed a little sister when you talked about the brothers,""Huh?, what are you talking about?," She panicked with a sheepish smile quickly rubbing both her cheeks, "Eh must be the cold,""I have known you long enough sister to know when you get butterflies when talking about a crush,""CRUSH!!" Her breath hitched as her tone echoed nervously through the shop, Mr Oliver catching wind of it approached with a smile. Did he hear it correctly?, had his daughter finally found love?"Did I hear crush?," Mr. Oliver asked with a smile"Our little Al
