AMALAIt is the first time that I’ve ridden a car, let alone in an expensive vehicle like this. The front seats are occupied by the two wolves and they are quiet during the whole ride. I sit behind them with Amy as her head lies comfortably on my lap. The AC in the car soothes her heated body and I feel a bit of relief when her body is no longer boiling hot like earlier. "Are you sure Amy is going to get better if we go to your hospital?” I ask, breaking the silence inside the car.“What she needs is a vaccination to control her canine. All children are required to get one to avoid potential risks of being controlled by their wolves,” Seth answers, stoically.Oh God, if Amy hadn’t gotten that shot…morbid thoughts come to my mind as my trembling fingers caress her brown hair sticking to her sweaty forehead. I’ll just consider this as being fortunate despite the problems I’ll face later on. Amy is my priority and even if I may not return to the human border—My heart beats fast, my b
AMALASeeing the Alpha pissed, I can tell he is dead serious. His blue eyes that I secretly fancied in my dreams haunt me with his cold, icy glare. But the revelation has brought me to a newer level of fear.“A-Amy will die if she’s away from the wolves?” “Wolves are sociable creatures,” Finrel explains as he crosses his arms. “Young pups like her won’t live longer if she is away from her pack.""T-then…" Oh God, Richard Bates knew and he didn't care at all! The thought infuriates me even more. And worse of all…If they haven't shown up in Mr. Bern's factory, what would I do with Amy when the time comes she turns into a wolf?I never thought of it as she has no signs of being like "them". Just then, a loud vibration echoes the quiet parking lot then Finrel takes out his phone and answers."Yes?" He listens for a bit before he slowly nods. "Yes. I will inform him, goodbye." He hangs up the phone and turns to Seth."The news has already reached the ears of the council board of member
AMALAThe house is located at the top hill of Twilight Hound. It has a great view of the whole city. We have arrived when the sun sets south and the sky becomes dark. The city lights shine brighter during the evening which is a huge contrast to the human border—dark with only dim lights in certain streets. So, this is like the city from the movies yet far more modernized. The automatic car goes to the underground parking area and I see a lot of cars situated there. A car collector, huh? I thought to myself. The Alpha takes advantage of his prestige to get the best cars humans yearn to have for a lifetime. The car seats prop open as soon as the car stops at the available space. Before I try to get out of the car, his hand grabs my wrist and I glare at him."What?""Never tell anyone about your past crimes. As we promised you, we will erase your records to protect you."More like protecting your reputation. I nearly rolled my eyes. "You are going to meet Marie today, as she is th
AMALATonight, I will be meeting a bunch of higher-up wolves who are on the same level as Seth or Richard Bates.I feel a bit nervous as the words Seth told me last night has finally come to me. If I screw this up, I will be executed immediately. Amy will wake up only to learn about my death.That is something I have to avoid at all costs."Are you nervous, Amala?"Marie is kind enough to brush my hair as she helps me get prepared.I just found out that if I want them to acknowledge me, I need to be presentable. "Somewhat. I need to stay strong so I can be alive when my sister wakes up.""You have a sister?" Marie asks with a surprised tone.I smile as I nod. "Where is she then?""At the hospital. This hospital that your husband brought last night.""What happened to her?""She's—" I cut myself halfway when Seth's words last night echo in my mind.'Never tell anyone about your past crimes.''Keeping a young pup away from the pack is a serious crime in Twilight Hound City.'"My sist
AMALA N-no way! A cold sweat drops from my cheek as I am beyond stunned that I couldn't budge as the guards approach with hurried steps. But Seth steps in front as he grabs my hand. He then glares at the guards who later flinch and step backwards after seeing his fury. "Alpha Seth, move away." However, that only encourages him to give a light squeeze on my hand as his fingers interlace mine. "S-Seth…" My voice sounds shaky. He turns back to the council as he takes a deep breath. "Council members, how could you have forgotten that the humans who fought against us have already lost and perished before I was born? This human…my mate, is younger than I am and she doesn't know much about the history of the war!""Yes, Alpha, it has been thirty years since a new era has changed for us. We fought for a decade against the humans to conquer and we obviously won."His thin frown deepens. "But, the war lasted for ten years, Alpha! The humans, despite being inferior, had known to fight back
AMALAEveryone stares at me in utter surprise and after declaring these words, the room has become eerily quiet. Yet, I stand there with a firm and determined look and I haven't stopped observing the look on that asshole's face. As expected he doesn't remember our first meeting, so in order to lure him, I continue. "Hey, Mr. Bates." I wave my hand, innocently. "Remember me? I am Amanda Gaines' daughter and we met three years ago."Richard Bates rises from his seat. His whole body trembles as he glares at me. "YOU LYING BITCH!" He points his accusing finger at me. "I don't remember impregnating a human!""If you don't believe me, get her blood sample, have both of your DNAs tested. You'll see she is your biological daughter."With his shaking fists as they are both clenching tightly, he glares at me. "Why are you saying this now, human?""Because if I will be executed here, I want to ensure my sister, Amy Gaines, will be living in a healthy environment. And if you die along with me
AMALAAt that moment when he held my hand as he defended me, my heart fluttered as I felt that familiar sensation that drew me to him. This cold-hearted wolf has kept his word by protecting me from the brink of death but I won’t admit that I see him in a different light at that moment.Unfortunately, that impression is being shattered by his cold words. He doesn’t trust me until now and he thinks that his wife, the woman who is his temporary Luna, is more trustworthy.Fine, then! I won’t be swayed again just because he saved me. In fact, I won’t believe any of these wolves again!But then again, he saved me three times now, huh? First with the Red Moon party when that pesky wolf got in my way, then, the time when he not only paid all of my debt but also brought Amy to a private hospital and finally, he defended me, a human, against the Council members. Amy has taught me to be grateful yet…it’s a complicated feeling.It is an awkward ride to the hospital as I am now sitting next to M
AMALA“Hey, have you heard? The Alpha found his fated mate!”“I've heard it was a human girl! The moon goddess chose a human for his mate!""What about Marie Bates? Will she lose her position?""I'll say we will protest for our real Luna! She has been nothing but great to our pack!""Oh, that's the one! Tch, she looks filthy don't you think?"More insults come to my hearing range like it has been intentional just to make me feel unwelcome.Unbeknownst to Amy and Marie who are chatting without a care of their surrounding, the whole area of wolves are looking at me. As soon I turn to meet their stares, they either look at me with disgust or look away.But honestly, it doesn't bother me even the slightest right now.My mood has already been dampened by the sight of Marie holding Amy's hand as they both walk around while Marie gives her a tour.Marie is clearly trying to take Amy away from me.I continue giving her the stink eye while she blissfully chats with my sister. I would have bee
