Falling for the wolf 29
"Shall we go, honey?"I nod at Dad as we walk to his car, wondering where Kessler is and why he left without even saying hello or saying anything. Also, that man left me thinking, who was he and why did he tell me that? I'll definitely have to talk to Kessler."You can go? I'll find Kessler and we'll go together," I let him know. Dad didn't seem very convinced at first but he didn't refuse. I gave her one last hug and she left, I looked for Kessler among so many people, I looked at Riley but she was with her friends. I haven't seen Jon since the accident at the fair, will he be okay? How cruel I am, he hadn't made me think about what could have happened to him, he ran out looking for someone and I didn't see him again.Among so many people I bumped into someone."Lottie." I looked at her."Eva, I thought you had already left" he smiled at me "how are you?""Okay, looking for Kessler, have you seen him?"She frowned."What did I miss? Did you two...?""Lottie, you've been with Lucas a

"Do you want to come with me?" Kessler asked, taking me by surprise. "To my house."I was surprised that he asked me that because I've only been to his house once, and it was when he had his party that my father ended. "Oh, really? Well, I would like to," I responded, a bit nervous. I've met Kessler's mother, but what about his father? Will he get angry if I ask?"Come on," he took my hand, and we both walked towards his house. I don't know any of his friends, I rarely see Kessler with anyone other than two guys he sometimes walks with, but that's it. Besides Riley, of course. We entered his house. It had white walls, a set of sofas, a big television. There was a door leading to the kitchen and stairs to the second floor. It was very nice and tidy."Do you live alone?" I wanted to know, admiring the pictures hanging on the wall."Yes.""But, has it always been like this? I suppose you used to live with your parents before."Silence."With my mother... but since she became mayor, I pr

I'm dead scared, the wolf kept gnawing at the branches and tearing at the roots to get to where I was. I heard howls in the distance, which put me on high alert because I knew more wolves were coming for me. I held the knife close to my chest because it was the only weapon I had to get out of here."Go away, leave me alone!" I shouted at the wolf. But the wolf growled at me with hatred, looking extremely furious."Eva!" I heard my dad's voice. Am I hallucinating? "Eva, where are you?"It's dad. Now I'm scared for him. The wolf stopped scratching the tree where I was and turned its head back; I know it also heard my father's voice and will go after him now. Fear took hold of my body, but so did courage. I won't allow any wolf to harm my father; I'd rather die first. When the wolf left, I stood up and left my hiding spot without thinking about the possibility of more wolves being nearby."Dad!" I shouted to make him hear me."Eva, this way!" I heard his voice to my left. I ran down that

I'm in the shower, trying to wash off the smell of blood from my body. I even have blood under my nails. It all disgusts me; I feel dirty. Recent events keep replaying in my mind. This is the first time I've faced something like this: Riley, the wolf, that name, and finally, the black wolf that saved me. There's something strange about all of this. But Riley is the most involved in this. If I had told Dad that she was behind all of this, I'm sure he would have gone to find her in his patrol car and put her in jail. But that's not what I want for Riley right now. She has something strange and mysterious about her. Not just her, many guys here. Including Kessler.When I finished cleaning myself and finally felt clean, I stepped out of the shower in a towel. As soon as I set foot in the room, a silhouette at the window startled me."Relax, it's me," Kessler appeared in the darkness of my room."Kessler, you scared me to death," I reproached, giving him a pat on the shoulder."I'll make s

"Everything tastes delicious," Kessler tells me, giving me a closed-mouth smile. We had made breakfast, well, more like me since Kessler took care of tidying up his kitchen. It's clear that no woman lives here. I'm curious to know if this house is his or his mother's. I made scrambled eggs, toast, avocado, and some coffee."Thanks, I had to make something with what little you had in the fridge. You need to go grocery shopping," I said, taking a sip of my coffee."Will you come with me?" he proposed. I didn't dislike the idea at all. I like it when Kessler includes me in his plans."Sure. After the... funeral," I replied. "Hey, Kessler. Whose house is this, by the way?"Yes, I know I'm very curious... maybe nosy. It's just that I like to be informed about everything, so I avoid creating ideas in my head."It's mine.""Did your mom give it to you?"He laughed."Of course not, Eva. I bought it myself. I have my own money.""Oh, well, good for you," I smiled. "You're independent now.""I'

"What the hell are you talking about?" she snapped at me, clearly displeased with my presence.The feeling is mutual."About you. Seems like someone hurt you too. Was it your friend, the wolf?" I mocked. "What do you think my father would do if I told him that you broke into my house last night and ordered the wolf to kill me?" I threatened, glaring at her with hatred. Riley is a dangerous woman, and I won't show her any mercy. She committed a serious crime.Riley seemed slightly scared but managed to maintain her composure."The mayor, my mother-in-law, wouldn't let your daddy hurt me," she taunted. I felt anger when she mentioned Kayler's mom."You mean your ex-mother-in-law," I retorted.Riley laughed."Everyone here knows that Kessler and I will get married. It's not something he can stop," she smiled. "Nor can you."I didn't understand what she meant. She seemed very sure of her words. There's something Kessler isn't telling me, and I need to know what it is because I don't want

I woke up in the middle of the darkness, the stale, damp air filling my lungs as my body lay sore on the floor of the pit. A groan escaped my lips, and with effort, I sat up, feeling the sticky mud clinging to my skin and soaked clothes. I looked around in the dim light, trying to orient myself, to understand where exactly I was."Lottie!" I called out, searching for my friend in the darkness. Worry flooded over me when I received no response. Where was she? Was she okay? My heart pounded, fear palpable in the air.Weak sounds of movement echoed from the other side of the pit. My eyes slowly adjusted to the darkness, trying to distinguish any shapes among the shadows. Then, a figure slowly materialized, approaching me cautiously."Eva?" Lottie's voice reached my ears, filled with fear and confusion. A sigh of relief escaped my lips as I saw her safe, though she was obviously scared and bewildered."Lottie, are you okay," I said, trying to calm her as I crawled towards her. We embraced

"I'm trying, but I can't see anything in the middle of this darkness!" Lottie replied, her tone filled with panic as she desperately searched for a hiding spot.The slippery mud made their progress difficult, each step a struggle against the forces of nature seemingly against them. But determination burned in Eva's heart, propelling her forward despite the adversities."There, behind that tombstone!" Eva exclaimed, pointing towards a large, sturdy tombstone that seemed to offer some protection against the wolves.Without hesitation, the two young women ran towards the tombstone, the sound of their own heartbeats echoing in their ears as they sought refuge amidst the storm."Come on, Lottie, hurry!" urged Eva, extending a hand to help her friend climb behind the tombstone.Lottie nodded determinedly and grabbed Eva's hand, feeling a ray of hope shine within her despite the terror surrounding them."We made it!" exclaimed Lottie, her voice full of relief as she huddled next to Eva behin
