Nathan Black"Father had called, again. We need to head back later this week, Nat." A hum left my throat. My head tilted on the headrest of the velvet sofa lazily, finding the ceiling rather interesting than the whole conversation.Even my eyes had almost fluttered closed sleepily with how cool it was inside the guest house, seeing the sunlight almost burnt the bird's nest to dust just outside the window."Nat, do you hear me?" Ethan's voice once again greeted my ear drum, sounding more urgently. I glanced at him sidedly before darted my attention again on the white ceiling.Huh, weren't there supposed to have four lamps? One, two, three… Ah, there's four. I knew I counted them right–"Nathan!" He hollered incredulously. I heaved a sigh heedlessly. "I know."It wasn't the first time father had sent those from our pack, urging for our return. It had been several days past since the hearing, so most of them, including Nico had already returned to Luna territory.Though, he was quite
Emma Grey"Nathan, are you home?" I hollered.A sudden nudge from Lina had me facing her as quick. My knuckles instinctively stilled, hovering the wooden door. My brows were narrowed as I hushed, before huffing a breath, calming the anxiousness pulled in my heart. "You startled me, idiot."She snickered apologetically, "Oh, sorry. I forgot you're on your toes today." She placed her palm on my back, rubbing it in an attempt to calm me down. "Relax, I was just wondering if they're really in there or with Eva."I exhaled a breath, accepting every comfort I could possibly receive in this moment. It had me on edge since this morning. If Lina hadn't mentioned her conversation with Ethan regarding the matter, it would surely be completely far from my mind.Not when she told me they would be leaving anytime now, that their father had deemed for their return.Really, how can it slip out of my mind that Nathan would be leaving anytime sooner. The past days had been the happiest I've ever been
Emma Grey"Are you sure this is all you need?" My eyes wandered across the luggage, particularly searching for any missing necessities to fill in. "Let me see. The toiletries are here, my shirts and my pants are here…" I patted the neatly folded clothes, before turning my head towards Eva. "What else do I need?" "Hmm… Maybe some snacks for traveling? I'm not sure either."I bit my inner cheek, contemplating if I should bring along my blanket. Truthfully, I never knew preparing all this stuff was somehow stressful. Formerly, we were strictly forbidden to leave the area if it wasn't permitted by Sir Joshue. Thus, it didn't ever latch into my mind for me to prepare the stuff for leaving.Now that I had to clear out my wardrobe, I don't even know what else I should bring along with me. I did have to live there for a long period of time in the Luna Pack. Luna Pack.I still can't believe it.He invited me. Nathan invited me! I almost squealed the moment he laid out the invitation. To
(Five years later)Emma BlackThe wind blew, lightly gracing my hair across my shoulder. Feeling the chills of the morning air seeping through my thin nightgown, I hug myself tight.It was still early. The sky was navy blue, not yet letting the moon hide itself for the sun to rise.My eyes trained towards the lake, calm from any alive movement. Most of the living must've still been in a deep slumber, lulled by the peaceful dawn.Good thing Nathan had chosen a house with a magnificent view, enchanted my eyes with the beauty of its nature.A fond smile slipped through my lips, reminiscing the early days I had been in the Luna Pack five years ago.The first time I had met his father, it was rather awkward to say. Though, it all went better after Nathan's appointment ceremony, as he showed him the ring.The silver band of his late wife, the one he must've missed to the moon and beyond. Instantly, the second Nathan had told him everything, he pulled me into a full embrace. Threads of grat
Drowning was better than living. “Mom, I'm so excited for tomorrow!" A twinkle in the twelve years old's eyes makes the woman chuckle at her cuteness. "What do you think I'm gonna be presented as?” The wrinkled blanket rustled as her mother pulled it to tuck her in. “Don't worry about it, sweetie. I know you're going to make me proud. Just like your brothers and sisters.” A gentle kiss landed on her daughter's forehead. The excitement was visible through her small face, with a smile so wide one would melt in its presents. “I hope I get to be an alpha like Eva." Her eyes then widened, "Oh! Or even omega like Emile and Elena!” Her small finger taps her chin, probably wondering which she favors more. “That's right, honey…” A gentle thumb tracing her soft cheek, “...as long as you're not a beta, everything will be well. Alright?” She nodded cheerfully. “Good night, mom.” She smiles at her mother, fluttering her eyes close to her dreamland. Along with a faint whisper. “That's
The leaves on the ground waggled as the padding of wolves’s paw reverberated through the forest. All strive to be the fastest before a pearly silver fur passes through the others. He tilted his head to the side with a growl as though snickering towards the other. The tanned brunette behind him rumbled. Reckoning his paw to speed up his pace in sight of the black flag near the finish line ahead. Unfortunately for him, the silver seems to notice his advances. Without further wasting any time, he jumped over to the finish line while shifting back to his human form. With all his might, he reached towards the black flag, grasping it tightly in his palm as he rolled through the ground. Ending on
Emma Grey “Look who we have here.” I could hear it loud and clear. His sicken smile. My heart thumping furiously as if it was drummed repeatedly, pushing it out of my chest. It causes my hand to tremble. And as quick, I held onto it tightly to stop myself from giving in to any agitation I was feeling. What is it that he wants from me now? Before I could face the intruder, my eyes locked on Lina. I raised both of my eyebrows as I signaled her to stay where she was silently. I wouldn't want her to be entangled in the event that was about to happen later. I know she was concerned, having
Nathan Black “You are just a coward Alpha!” A loud voice vibrates through the field, catching our attention. Huh, that’s interesting. It was not everyday that one heard an Alpha being called a coward. In public if I might add. My head moved, searching through the crowds for the source of the voice. It, then, landed on the two figures, remote from others as if they were purposely being avoided. Seeing a woman standing in front of a man with her figure all tensed, it must have been her. I stretched my neck, aiming to have a better look on her features. It was all futile. Having her silky chestnut locks waves through the wind, grazing her shoulder had
