FEBRUARY, 23, 2018.DARK MOON PACK.(ORLA'S POV)I hissed for the third time in a row, flipping the book I was reading on the bed. It had begun as a mere foreboding, but as time crawled by, I couldn't help but feel that heavy weight on my chest. It was so thick that I felt I could touch it.That feeling. Something was about to happen, yet I couldn't place what it was.Lightning flashed across the sky right at that moment, making me shudder. I got up slowly and made my way to the window. The downpour began no sooner than I placed my hand on the wall.I couldn't tell for how long I stood there though, watching nothing in particular. My eyes were almost emotionless. Just as it had been for the past few months.I glanced at the door like I was waiting for someone to walk through it. And just like I had been asking the moon goddess for the past few months, I asked inwardly again. Where had my mate gone?The door pushed open at that moment, and a most pale-faced servant hurried in."Luna," s

FEBRUARY, 25, 2018.(ORLA'S POV)I placed my clenched fists on my lap and looked through the window yet again. I had called the driver to come to pick me up since I wasn't sure if I could walk back to the pack in my current state of mind.My mind wandered to the discussion I had with Ella earlier on. Was it even a discussion? To think that I had called her my friend in the past. True friends supported each other, didn't they?Just at that moment, the car braked so hard, that I tumbled forward, bumping my head on the back of the driver's seat. Wincing, I forced myself back."What was that?" I whispered, a sudden anger rearing itself in my head."A car bumped into ours, Luna." The driver reported.I didn't wait for him to confront them, opting to do so myself. Perhaps I hadn't noticed, but I was looking for an outlet to let my anger loose. I walked towards the sleek-looking car."Are you blind?!" I yelled, hitting the car's tinted window.The driver, a middle-aged man stepped down from

FEBRUARY, 25, 2015.DARK MOON PACK.(ORLA'S POV)Where was I?That was the thought I had in mind, once my eyes fluttered open. I was perhaps in the world beyond. The Moon goddess's world perhaps?I was dead. Killed by the ones I had trusted the most. I forced myself to sit, relaxing my back on the... headboard?Why was there a headboard in the world beyond? And why did the room look so much like mine? At the thought, I took a closer look around and blinked in disbelief. And that was because the room looked so much like mine, back at my father's pack. What was happening?'We've been reborn.' I heard a clear steady voice say in my mind. Startled, I looked around. Was there someone else in the room, aside from me?"Who's there?" I called out.'I'm Eva, your wolf. We've gone back in time.' I heard the clear voice say again.Not dwelling on the thought that my wolf had awakened, I jolted. "I've gone back in time, you say? Does that mean...?" I whispered.'Yes, you aren't dead.' She said ca

ORLA“This is wild,” Ella said, sipping from a cup of fruit juice. “I’m trying really hard to believe what you’re saying right now, Orla. Please tell me that this isn’t some kind of prank.” She put her cup down and used her straw to chip at the ice cubes sitting inside it. “The Moon Goddess sent you back in time?”“Shh. Lower your voice. You don’t know who might be listening,” I whispered, looking around the little stall we’d chosen.I’d invited her over to the quiet eatery not so far away from home. I was even surprised that she’d obliged to my invitation without needing any explanation at all.She looked at me with an eyebrow raised. In the entire place, she stood out the most. Her shoulder-length hair was a wild two-tone consisting of a vivid, grassy green at the top that melted into a much darker shade of the same color as you went down the locks. Today, she’d pulled her hair into a clean bun and applied a wing of eyeliner at the corner of each eye. As a halfling, she’d grown up w

ORLAI sunk into my bed and tried to welcome sleep, but it didn't come. Restless and tired, I found myself turning and turning until I finally found a little peace.And then, I fell asleep.My dreams were a mess of images that I couldn’t understand. I saw faces that I didn’t know, and I saw things that my mind kept failing to comprehend. At one point, I even felt like someone was hovering above me and urging me to wake up, but I didn't open my eyes until sunlight had started flowing in through the windows of my room, signifying that morning had once again come upon me.I got out of my messy bed and found myself staring at the mirror. It was wide and square with a dark wooden frame. There was a notch at the corner where I'd accidentally broken it on the day of my failed Awakening ceremony. I could remember the day like it was just a few hours before. All of my peers had somehow managed to transform on the full moon after their 14th birthday, but I couldn't. I'd stood there untder the m
