I sat in front of my vanity, staring at my reflection with my hands clasped on my silk dress. Heaving a sigh, I shook my head to get rid of the unwanted thoughts but my mind didn’t seem to comply. Until my legs began to bounce uncontrollably, teeth bared, as I gripped the cloth tight. I fluttered my eyes close and tried to deviate my attention from something else, but these nagging thoughts were just unbearable.
Aside from contemplating what might happen at the party tonight, Aunt Odessa’s actions this morning filled my head. Since the
Valerie wore a champagne-colored dress and her wavy hair cascaded flawlessly down her waist, covering the bite mark on her back. She was in full glam and she was dazzling in highlighter that made her look beyond gorgeous. She was truly the light of the party because she was so fine.Smiling at her, she moved closer to us as Tobias's gaze drifted towards her. He immediately caught Valerie’s attention, halting in front of us with a surprised look. She stared at Tobias in awe, her brows were raised and lips slightly parted. They looked like they&rsqu
What was he trying to say? I asked myself with my brows slightly knitting together.
What was I supposed to do now? the only question that had been stuck in my head.As soon as I got the confirmation I needed, I didn’t know how I should feel about it. All I had were mixed emotions boiling inside of me as my fear started to surge in. My heart tightened, my breathing shortened, and there was a sudden pit in my stomach. Staring distantly ahead of me, I let this information take in and thought about this situation. Right after this moment, I could neither talk to Giofré nor Valerie without thinking about werewolves.
Facing everyone today was nerve-racking. After what happened last night at the party, the truth that unfolded in front of me, I kept questioning myself what the next step would be— if I was willing to ignore the consequence for telling the organization about Giofré. I was cautious and hesitant because I knew that I would be hurting some people along the way, and I didn’t know if I could bear with the resentment they would have towards me. As much as I detested being indecisive, the paranoia and anxiety were consuming me and I couldn’t help but think about not finishing what I’d started.
I would advise listening to the song "Arcade" by Duncan Laurence ft. FLETCHER for this chapter. Specifically in the third scene where Portia and Tobias had a conversation.
I returned home after this long and exhausting day, too consumed by the overwhelming occurrence. I felt as though the world just made a fool of me, that all of these were just a big joke and I was supposed to laugh it off to somehow get over the pain. My chest felt heavy, so was my head from the continuous tears I let out while I was talking with Tobias. I was filled with disbelief after all of the things he’d said to me that I didn’t know what to feel anymore. There was a part of me that became paralyzed, numb, and the fact t
For the entire time, I was in the Silver Stag, they’d thrown me nothing but weird glances, constantly chattering about the reward when I would pass some of the platoon members in the hall. Instead of feeling relieved that a werewolf was found, they seemed rather bitter and they weren’t afraid to show their resentment towards me. Aside from the reward, I also heard them talk about Tobias who they thought had disappeared out of the blue. They could keep guessing and they could repeatedly ask me about his absence all they wanted
