"Nick name's Nick by the way" the young guy introduced himself, as he led Violet through the cafe doors. He was all smiles and beyond happy that she had accepted his offer. He couldn't explain why he sought her company so much, especially being a stranger he just met. Everything about her was just unique and he felt it the moment he looked into those peculiar violet eyes.He held her firmly by the waist to keep her from falling when she tripped on her feet. She was sweaty and a bit sticky from her jogging but it didn't didn't bother him in the least.Violet on the other hand looked around the cafe, surveilling the area and was glad that there were just six people around. The lesser the better. The strong smell of ground coffee beans and pastry hit her nose almost simultaneously, and it brought a small smile to her face.She looked up at Nick who had been staring at her the whole time, resulting in her cheeks reddening as she squirmed out of his arms. She assured him that she could man
Xavier walked slowly, but confidently down the spacious corridor of the seventh floor of the pack house. His body face was stoic to fit the dangerous aura spewing from his muscled body. With every movement he took, his muscles flexed, straining at his tight, black shirt. His heavily tattooed arms constricted as he clenched he clenched and unclenched his fists.His jaw ticked and eyes darkened as he listened to the beta's report on the agenda of the meeting they were headed to.More pack problems that he had to attend to. He would rather ignore each and every one of them, but that may cause worse problems, like a rebellion from the conjoined packs. He wasn't scared of any rebellion either and could vanquish whoever tried, but he didn't want more unnecessary blood on his head. The blood from the past had soaked his fur and perhaps oozed from his pores, and he was sick of it. Alas, he still kills everyday."Alpha," Ezekiel called carefully. His face was without an ounce of fear when he
"Trouble is coming," Larissa the witch said, her voice mirroring the emotions on her face. Dread, shame, and anger. She abandoned her position by the window and came to stand before Xavier. "They have escaped," she whispered. The urgency in her voice caused confusion on the beta and gamma as they exchanged glances with a frown.Xavier, unaffected by her sudden utterances went over to his desk to take a seat. He leaned back on his chair and watched the witch silently. "Meaning?" He asked.Larissa sighed, deeply irritated with his calm demeanor. She turned to face him. "You know what I mean Xavier.""That isn't an answer to my question, witch," he bit out, his eyes darkening in the process, "and it's alpha to you." A growl escaped from his throat by the time he was done talking. Zain shifted his weight in discomfort while Ezekiel looked away. Xavier was always good at controlling his emotions, especially when it came to dealing with someone like Larissa, but now, he couldn't even keep
…they'll start with you Xavier."In a split second, Larissa was above the ground, legs kicking in all directions as she struggled to pry Xavier's hand that was choking her.His growl was loud and full of anger, and his eyes had turned to a bloody red. His fangs slowly creeped out from his bared teeth, as another growl slipped out. He tightened his grip around Larissa's neck, mercilessly strangling her as he roared, "how?!"Ezekiel and Zain stumbled on their feet as pain shot through their heads. Xavier wasn't conscious to limit his temper to himself, but now he didn't care. "Speak!" He ordered Larissa."Whether you…you like it or not, it remains the truth," Larissa managed to say. She scratched at Xavier's fingers in desperate need for air, but it was useless. "Is that a threat?" Growled Xavier. His nails began to grow longer which consequently dug into Larissa's neck.Seeing that he would soon cause major harm to her, the witch drew on her powers. Her hair that floated about her, sho
The calm breeze brushed the fallen leaves up from the empty road, and the magnificent twilight sky added to the serene environment.Violet's soft laugh filled the air with its soft Melody, as the two walked hand in hand, laughing at jokes and engaging in small talk.Nick had insisted on holding her hand with the excuse that she might fall due to the after effects of prolonged hunger, which Violet thought was a completely ridiculous reason. She had let him take her hand anyway, as he wouldn't budge."I feel bad for that lady Samantha body shamed. Samantha's an awful person for saying those kinds of things to her," Violet complained sadly. "Samantha could be a bitch sometimes, but I didn't know she'd go to that extent," replied Nick in a tired voice. "What she did was downright inhumane. No one deserves to be treated like that.""Absolutely. The poor lady knew what she wanted. She was ordering a salad and latte with almond milk for God's sake, but the waitress just had to talk," Violet
Violet and Nick had gone a fair distance into the forest. They were now surrounded by the dense trees that prevented any ray of light from penetrating it, therefore, neither of them knew if the sun was still out there or what time it was. They had both left their phones in Violet's sitting room. There was no noise of swaying trees or chirping birds. Or rustling leaves and hooting owls. It was like the forest trees had stilled and the animals ceased to exist; like the entire forest was holding its breath. The only sound that echoed through the forest was the sound of dry leaves and twigs being crushed by their feet. Violet nervously looked around her, searching for what she didn't know, but darkness in the forest limited her vision.Her skin crawled and her throat constricted with rising fear. Why was she feeling so anxious all of a sudden? She felt her heart beat faster with every step she took, and dread washed over her like cold water. Was her decision
"Violet…" Nick whispered helplessly. The girl he liked or perhaps, loved so much was standing face to face with a big wolf, and it felt like he was living through a nightmare at that moment. Never had Nick seen a wolf so up close before, but now, here he was not more than seven feet away from one, and Violet, not more than eight inches away. He warily watched her as she stood petrified with fear and suddenly felt the painful stab of regret. Regret for ever making her come with him."Violet…step back," he whispered louder, desperation laced in his voice, but Violet couldn't register his words. She sobbed internally, tears staining her pale face and blurring her vision. The grey wolf seemed to observe her for a while, seemingly confused at something, but when she stepped backwards, the beast bared its teeth and growled. Warning her to not take any more steps. Nick felt the blood drain from his face and Violet froze in place. A choking sob rose in her throat as realization hit her hard.
Violet was struck by a foreboding feeling of her imminent death, which sent her scurrying backwards as far away from the wolf as possible. She took another pained glance at what remained of Nick, then broke into tears.The horrific sight of Nick's mutilated body was engraved in her mind, and now, whether she liked it or not, she was going to die the same way Nick did. Probably even worse.Violet whimpered as the wolf prawled towards her with slow and decisive steps. It wasn't in any hurry as it was confident that Violet had nowhere to run. Its golden eyes locked on her crying form, watching her every move and growling on intervals. The terror Violet felt did well to feed the wolf's ego.Violet on the other hand brought her knees to her chest and covered her ears with her hands in an attempt to drown away those savage growls. She knew entering this forest was a bad thing, but now, it was by far the worst mistake of her life."Just go away! Leave me alone!" Violet
