I watch the magnificent gray wolf roll on the ground as Levi and Drake fight for control. I can hear a few of their arguments as Levi opens a mind link while Drake closes it. I start to imagine if Leia and I will be like that.
******
‘No, we're not,’ Leia suddenly answered. ‘We are not some immature fratboys.’
“Leia!” I shouted, making Leon and Drake stop arguing.
‘Calm down tiger,’ she replied.
‘You never reply,’ I whispered.
‘I was resting, for tonight,’ she answered. ‘You should be resting too.’
“Baby, Baby wake up, please wake up,” I can hear Drake’s voice, but I can’t seem to respond. “She’s burning,” he shouted, I feel his body against mine and I can feel how worried he is about me. No, let me correct that, he was getting terrified. “The doctor is here,” Nikki said, she too was worried. “What’s wrong with her?” Drake asked, he frantically held me in his arms not wanting to let go."She was just sleeping, resting, and then suddenly she was on fire?" I can hear the confusion in Drake's voice. “We need to bring her outside Alpha,” the doctor’s voice was calm and patient. “She’s about to shift,”“How can she shift when she’s not even opening her eyes,” Drake screamed. I felt something wet drop on my face. I can tell that Drake is crying. “You need to let go, Alpha,” the doctor said calmly and unfaltering. "So that she can shift properly."“But she’s not waking up,” I can feel him hold me tighter. I wanted to let him know that I am here and that I am okay. I wanted him to k
“Eos, where are you going?” I hear Selene’s voice as she chases after the person right before her. I am in Selene’s body. “Don’t call me that Selene, my name is Isabel.” The woman before her snapped. She looks just like Selene only younger. “We can ask them to give back your wings,” Selene’s voice was filled with sadness and pain, just like how she’s feeling right now. “I don’t need them,” she retorted without even looking at Selene. She was packing her things and a few of her clothes when I see Selene stopping her. “Let’s talk about it, we’ll find a way,” Selene was now begging. Selene’s sister stopped what she was doing and looked at her. “If you want to help me, make me one of those shifters that you call your children,” she challenges Selene. “You know it doesn’t work that way,” Selene said, her voice so low, that it sounded like a whisper. “Then stop bothering me,” Isabel said angrily. Once she was finished packing, Isabel picked up her bag as she rushes out. “Okay, I w
***** Once again the scene changed. “Baby what do you think of werewolves?” Drake suddenly asks as he looks at me, We were seated on a picnic mat that Drake brought. I put down the book that I was reading and looked at him. “What do you mean like those fictional creatures?” I asked. “What if they are not fiction? What if they are true?” Drake sat up from lying down on my lap to a sitting position as he looks straight into my eyes. “Are they harming people?” I asked and Drake shook his head. “No! Of course not!” Drake said defensively. “Then they are okay with me,” The smile that I started to like appears on his face. He placed his hands on my face as he pulled me in for a kiss. “I love you, Athena,” Drake whispered, he looked at me and I kept quiet. He touched my chin to make me look at him. “It’s okay baby,” he smiled. “I will keep on telling you that I love you until you can tell it to me.” I see the younger me as I feel the feelings I had at that time. I couldn’t say it
After Athena shifted back to human form, she couldn’t stop crying. Actually, it was the first time I see her cry like that. I can see that she was in a lot of pain. I checked her out but I can’t seem to find anything wrong with her, well physically at least. We stayed on the ground but the way she was crying I know that it won’t subside any time.I decided to bring her home to the packhouse, at least I could clean her up and she could rest comfortably on our bed. Nikki was the one who gave us a ride home. Leon, Calvin, and Nori checked the vicinity to make sure that there are no lurkers or spies around. Aunt Jess on the other hand went with the doctor to check on something that was related to what had happened earlier.There was something that had been bothering me, well something that I am curious about. It is regarding the location whe
I watched as my Luna sleeps. There were traces of tiredness on her face. I touched her face and found traces of dried tears from under her eyes. Aunt Jess believes that Athena has seen something that made her react that way. Our pack’s doctor seems to agree as well. Since something in them is also unlocked just by the bright white light that Athena has emitted. What the hell did you see baby?After reading the letter that my mother had left behind I got more curious about what Athena has seen when she shifted. Also, I wanted to know what my mother meant when she said that I would understand once I sealed my Fated Bond with Athena?I recall how Athena had shifted last night. And just like how they predicted, the process was not the same as the way that we all have shifted. But the moment that she started screaming as she begs me to make it stop, I wanted nothing more than to do that. I watched, unable to do anything, as she was being lifted in the air, as bright lights wrapped around
The next day, I woke up to find Athena missing. Before panicking I checked every inch of our room including our walk-in closet. I even checked under the bed. The moment that she was nowhere to be found fear starts to sink in but I try to calm myself. ‘Let’s check her room,’ Levi suggested. ‘The fuck, I can’t sense Leia.’I walked, no I swift walk, more like half running towards the room across ours. There was no sign of her. But still, I search every inch of that room to just make sure. ‘This is killing me,’ Levi said. I know that it was not easy. Not only for him but also for me. I ran a hand on my disheveled hair and let out a frustrated breath. I immediately run out of the room and was about to alert the others when I was met with Nikki’s large and questioning eyes as she signaled for the person sitting in front of Nori in our dining room. Seeing that everyone’s attention was elsewhere, the head that I am so familiar with turned to face me. “Baby,” Athena shouted upon seeing my
Every morning with Athena is never the same. You’ll never know what version of Athena you’ll meet when you wake up to. Today is no exception, as I see the empty spot that Athena was supposed to be occupying. I rose calmly this time and was about to stand up when a newly showered Athena came out of our bathroom. “Morning baby,” she said with a smile. ‘Who is she today?’ Levi asked. As fearsome as Levi is in battle, his bravery was no match for Athena. ‘I am still trying to figure out,’ I replied to him. My eyes follow Athena as she enters our walk-in closet. I stood up and followed her. I see her rummaging for something to wear. “Are you going somewhere, baby?” I asked, trying to calm my voice. She turned and looked at me. “Not really baby, it's weekend,” she replied before focusing back on her hunt for clothes to wear. “But I might go to the bar later, to check on things.” “I can take you there,” I offered. As she decided to take one of my white shirts and pair it with her shor
I know I have not been an easy person to deal with after I have shifted. I guess you will all understand this when you step into my shoes. I also know that people handle pain and grieving differently. I wish I could have handled it differently from how I did it so that Drake wouldn’t have a hard time but there was nothing I could do with all the emotions that were exploding inside of me.It’s had to pretend to be okay after finding out so many things that I wish I didn’t know. But at the same time, I know that I wouldn’t stop until I found out the truth. So after moping around and being lost for a few days, I finally understood why things had to happen that way. As painful as it is, the sacrifices that our parents made were needed for us to reach this point. It was true, if they did not do what they did if they did not separate Drake and me before, we might not be here right now. I watch as my Alpha sleeps beside me, I feel bad that even in his sleep he can’t seem to be at peace. I k
