"It doesn't matter who goes first, we will all die one day. Whoever is left behind must keep the memories of the other. Such must die with it," Kianna had said to me, smiling as she held onto my left hand. That day, she had called very early in the morning. "Do you mind going on a fishing trip with me?," she had asked.I found that very unusual. Kianna was good at so many things, but fishing didn't rank as one of her biggest strength."Are you serious about this, or this is some joke?," I asked her, barely awake."Meet me in an hour. The earlier we go, the better our chances." She hung up.Reluctantly, I had gone up to meet her. She was already all kitted for the trip."What happened?," I asked her, as we journeyed."How do you mean?""I have never known you to be interested in the fishes. Is this some get away or what?.""Well, let's say I needed to be alone with you. Come on, I still wanna learn how to fish. What better tutor than you.""Hmm."We were barely halfway with the fishing

He didn't believe it when I told him that someone was missing among those killed. No matter what I said, he always found something to say, something that made me look out of depth."Believe me, please, Sheriff," I said, tired of trying to prove my point."Come on, this is a police force, not some therapeutical building, where emotions are the order. How could you just expect me to believe that there is someone else that's not on the picture. Come on, mate, say something better."I brought out my phone and immediately went for my gallery. I went for the picture that had Kianna and the other guys. "See," I said, showing it to him, "the lady that stood by me is Kianna. She's the one I'm talking about. You gotta believe me.""That's not enough," he said, quickly handing me back my phone. He wasn't even interested in absorbing what I had just shown him. "Tell me something else I should know, something that would make me think of believing you.""Okay! I will tell you!," I hastily said, cut

DECLANI didn't feel comfortable anymore. It felt like something was wrong, even though I could not place my hands on exactly what it was. I could barely pay attention to what uncle Alioski was telling me."What is wrong?," he asked, surprised at my sudden change of countenance."I don't know what's wrong with me. I don't know why I feel so troubled.""It's Kianna," he said. "I think Deforest knows where she is.""Duncan! That idiot stabbed me!," I said, furious."You should have known better."Quickly, I got up and walked towards the exit. I can't let Deforest get to her before I do. That will be too dangerous, for I'll be putting her life and mine more at risk."Wait!," he sharply said, halting my exit. "You've got to be careful. Remember, the alpha will not hesitate to pass a sword through you."Without saying a word, I walked away. That wasn't the first time he had said that to me; I already knew what to expect. I raced away, hoping to get there before him. How

"You will go to him and act like you know nothing. Find out what he's plotting against the pack.""But father!""I know he trusts you, so you don't have to worry about him finding out.""But father!" He wouldn't let me talk."Do that tonight and report to me tomorrow. Leave now."Trying to protest was just an absolute waste of time. His mind was already made up, and I knew better than anyone that nothing was ever going to make him go back on his decision."As the alpha pleases," I said as I took the slow steps of his sight."Declan," he quickly called me, halting my exit. I just stood still, not even turning to his direction. "I do not need to remind you what fate befalls anyone who tries to betray the pack," he added.Ordinarily, it would take me just five minutes to get to Alioski's quarter from the alpha's chamber, but there was nothing hasty about my movement. The alpha had gotten into my head and messed with it. How could he even say he knows Alioski trusts me?. Admittedly, he ha

Even though they had been covered beyond recognition, I didn't need anyone to tell me who they were. I needed to do something to save them from the alpha's wrath."Hey, Declan," someone called me from the crowd. It sounded familiar. Curiously, I turned around."Felix!," I said. He was an old mate, one I had not seen in a long time. Just like most of the people who had gathered for another familiar execution experience, he didn't look happy."Mate, you gotta help those people up there," he said, pointing to the two people hanging."It's tough, mate," I said."I know, but you are different from your father and that brother of yours who takes so much delight in executing innocent people. I don't know who they are, but they don't fucking deserve what is coming to them. Save them," he said before walking away."He's right, Declan," someone tapped me from behind. It was another old friend, Jackson. He, too, had appeared from nowhere. "Look at everyone around you," he said, pointing to the p

KIANNADeath is overrated!When you know it is your time, the fear of it disappears.There was no escaping it, I knew it. Frustrated that I had been unwavering in my resolve not to bow to his demands, Deforest had dragged me before the alpha that morning."I hope death appeals to you," he had said."How is it possible that she's alive?," he managed to ask him, surprised to see me. Even my co maid and friend, Riley, who had come to serve him at his chamber, was shocked to see me. I must have looked like a ghost to them. "Well, father, here she is," he responded. He clearly enjoyed being the one to have found me."How and where did you find her? Didn't everyone say she escaped through the woods? Were you lying to me!? How dare you!," he yelled at him. His anger scared whatever was left of my fucked up life. It was obvious he was looking for another scapegoat."I didn't lie to you, father! Maybe you should ask Declan!," Deforest quickly cut in, frustrated that his father had taken

TORROWe should have listened to him!We should never have looked upon him as the powerless Jason that couldn't hurt a bird!We should have believed him when he said his vision had returned! We dismissed him just because, unlike us, he possessed no power to see what we saw, or smell what we smelt.We will always look like our decisions!Well, I guess it is very easy to come to terms with it now that we are under siege.August 1st will always be remembered as the night the book closed on us, on every member of the pack. Everything we had built together, we lost, no one, not even a hair, was spared.We had been so busy upholding the code that no one had read the signs. How could the alpha not even notice! Maybe it was some spell. By the time it dawned on us that we were under siege, the enemy had gotten so close, surrounded us, leaving us with nothing but to feed on wishes that horses couldn't ride on."Are we going to die like chickens!?," Tom, one of the newest members, ha

LORD DWAYNE"This is a ruthless world, and one must be ruthless to cope with it."Charlie Chaplin.He was my best and most trusted lieutenant. He could go through brick walls for me, not minding if he put his life on the line in the process. No one else knew half the things he knew about me, not even Declan or Deforest. Maybe I let him know more than he should have known.If I could put it better, I would say my darkness laid bare before him.So you can understand why it was the toughest decision I have ever taken as an alpha. This was even tougher than passing the judgment on my wife and having her face the execution as I watched. But I had to do what I had to do. He had broken the code, and no one was bigger than it…Okay, maybe I was!I may not have been so sure about what he had done, but his displays had sold him out. It felt he was up to something, something different from the path we had always walked on."Killing him on the night of the dark moon does not represent the best d
