Raelynn
Alison yanked me back sharply as the slimy creature leapt out at me. I have never seen anything this hideous before.
It was a pulsating 3-foot-long worm-like creature in a sickly pink color that faded to an even more revolting translucent gray at the edges.Its bulbous body was segmented not with neat rings, but with uneven, lumpy folds that writhed and rippled as it slithered with unsettling, boneless grace. It approached me, trailing thick, foul-smelling green mucus.
I watched in horror as it opened its massive mouth, revealing a retractable barbed proboscis ready to strike. The scream that had been stuck in my throat broke o
Alpha Lorenzo “Hello, Alpha Lorenzo?” A peppy voice said into the phone, “This is Leah from Alpha Henry’s office.” I woke up early to my phone ringing and it was Alpha Henry’s assistant. She was to give me a call once my status as the SupremeAlpha was confirmed. “Yes,” I answered. “Is everything set for me?” "Yes, Alpha, you would need to come to Alpha Henry's office this morning to settle everything.” "I will be there soon," I said, hanging up. I hoped to finish this meeting quickly so I could finish the work in the pack before I had to head out for school. I mindlinked Conan to prepare for our meeting with Alpha Henry. He was pissed to be starting his day so early but he’ll live with it. We reached the council headquarters in an hour and forty-five minutes, and we proceeded directly to the administrative office. When Leah welcomed us, she handed me a folder full of paperwork that I needed to sign and turn in after the meeting. “Good morning Alpha Lorenzo, welcome to my of
Alpha Lorenzo Conan arrived ten minutes later, with five other warriors, one of whom threw me a pair of joggers. “What is the…” Conan's speech was cut short as he focused on the body, "Ugh… W.T.F!!!” “Who would even do this?” Veins bulged at the sides of his face as he ranted. The other warriors moved closer to observe what had triggered his fury. They withdrew right away, some of them retreating to a corner and heaving their guts out I could not blame them—the girl had her eyes gouged out and her mouth slit from one jaw to the other. She was also left naked, allowing whoever discovered her to see that her breasts had also been severed. She appears to have had a difficult life in addition to a very horrific death. “How did you discover this?” Raising his eyebrows, Conan turned to face me. "Max and I went for a run. We stopped at the lake and heard something fall. We came here and saw this," I said, my gaze sweeping the perimeter. I motioned for one of the warriors to look for fo
Alpha Lorenzo Driving back to Oakville was a difficult decision for me because my pack could be at risk. I let out a huff as I tightened my grip on the steering wheel. 'I do not know about you, Enzo, but I would like to get to school in one piece.’ Max piped in, breaking my silent brooding, 'I am driving at normal speed,' I replied, narrowing my eyes at him. ‘I guess,’ he shrugged, ‘There would be nothing to drive if you ripped off the steering wheel.’ I rolled my eyes at him, relaxing my grip on the wheel, ‘See, much better,’ he said as I watched him settle in my mind's eyes. ‘We finally get to see our mate,’ he said happily. That brought a smile to my face, ‘I wonder what she has been up to,’ I sighed wistfully. ‘I hope she missed us as much as we did.’ After another 30 minutes of driving we arrived at Oakville. I drove slowly through the town, in the direction of the school, and eventually stopped at my house. I stepped out of the car, breathing a sigh of relief as I unload
Alpha LorenzoThe sound of my phone ringing halted my steps. I dug into my pocket, fishing for my phone. Frowning at the screen, I picked up after the second ring."I thought I told you to send whatever you found to my email?” I scowled at the phone. "I understand what you said, but we need to talk in person rather than via mail because this is a very sensitive issue," he countered.“Is it that bad?” I sighed turning around, walking towards my office. “Well, two more alpha’s have had a similar experience,” he replied solemnly. “I could come back tomorrow so we can get this over with,” I said pushing my office door open, “Nah, this time I’m coming to you,” he said with a lilt to his voice. “No you won’t,” I snarled, "Yes, I will," he responded, which irritated me even more.“Before you say anything, I have an appointment in Oakville. I’m killing two birds with a stone.”“What appointment? The pack is on lockdown,” I replied through clenched teeth. Conan has always enjoyed setting me of
RaelynnThe last few days have been a blur.Something new occurs every day; it starts with the dark library, then moves on to my room that has been vandalized, my misspelled locker, and the subliminal taunting messages I get every morning when I wake up.After being discharged from the hospital last week, I was told to take the week off. It helped, though, because I am feeling better mentally than I was a week ago. I thank the goddess for my wolf and friends, Ash and Aly. I do not know how I would have managed everything that has been going on without them.I looked outside my window— it was a very sunny Saturday, and I was happy that there was no school today. I lay down on my bed, remembering the good times I had with my parents—I really miss them.With a groan, I lazily saunter out of bed. I drag my padded feet into the bathroom, where I stare at my bloodshot eyes, dark circles underneath, and pale skin. I have never looked more revolting in my life.I settle into the shower allow
RaelynnLunch was exactly as uncomfortable as you could imagine. The girls would not stop asking how I was doing. I eventually reached a breaking point with it.“I’m fine, okay! Stop asking,” I shrieked at Ashley after she asked for the Upteenth time. They exchanged an unreadable look. "We are sorry for overdoing it, we are just worried," Alison said, attempting to calm me down. “You’ve been spacing out a lot also. Yesterday at gym class, I bruised your stomach because you weren’t paying attention,” Ashley said with a soft look on her face. I groaned internally, wanting to scream. Why couldn’t they just drop it, ‘They care about you Rae, stop being irrational,’ Lynn butted in. ‘I know, it's just kinda unsettling.’ I replied, pushing my soup around with my spoon. I sighed letting out a deep breath, “I’m just kinda stressed with everything that happened in school,” I said with the corners of my mouth pulled downwards. “We get it Rae, we’re here for you,” Alison said smiling as they b
Alpha Lorenzo The sound of my phone ringing pulled me away from the clutches of sleep. I groggily reached for my phone and looked at the time—4:30 a.m.I groaned as I sat up in bed, exhausted from only an hour's sleep. My phone rang again, and I answered on the second ring.“What do you want?” I growled into the phone, "Good morning to you too, sunshine," Conan's chirping voice rang out on the other end.I pinched the bridge of my nose to relieve my frustration. "Did anything happen at the pack?” I asked, “No,” his reply came soon after, “Is there anything different between yesterday and today?” I prodded, “No,” he replied. “Then goodbye. Don’t call me again,” I snarled ending the call. Fully awake, I walked to my closet and pulled out gray sweatpants and a hoodie—I was ready for some morning cardio.I got dressed and left my phone at home. I stood on my front porch and looked around, trying to find a potential trail to follow. After a short while, I made the decision to go left, wh
Raelynn Walking through the streets of Oakville, I could not help but feel nostalgic, and it brought tears to my eyes. I can not believe I made it here, studying in my dream course at my dream school. I sniffed the crisp autumn air, a knot of nervous excitement twisting in my stomach. As I walked down the street, I came to a stop in front of my father's favorite restaurant, La Belle Vie bistro and bar. I wiped a stray tear from my eye and took a deep breath to steel myself. I eagerly stepped into the restaurant.I pushed open the door, stepping into a cozy embrace of savory aromas and friendly conversation.The bell above the door chimed, signaling my arrival. Heads turned, and several pairs of surprised eyes met mine. Most students present were werewolves, their stares a mix of curiosity and apprehension. My ears flattened instinctively, but then a warm voice cut through the silence."Well, hello there! Welcome to La Belle Vie bistro and bar?" A young vampire server about my age a
