I turned quickly and ran out of my room. I met Esme waiting for me outside her car. I slowed down my pace and tried to calm my breathing as I locked the door and walked back to her. She seemed to notice my distress. “Hey, what's wrong? Are you okay?”“What?” I asked absentmindedly. “You look scared… what happened in there?”I realised I still had the paper in my hand. I ruffled it before she noticed and quickly thought of a lie to tell her. “Nothing, nothing. Umm…a spider crawled on my hand and I freaked out” I let out a long sigh “see I'm fine?”She looked at me for a moment before she burst out laughing, “You're telling me that a tiny little spider just sent you packing?”“It wasn't tiny it was huge and it was on my hand” I Improvised quickly and played out the role well. “I'll need to scrub off my hand”“Come on let's go before we make you any later than usual”I laughed but it wasn't completely genuine. I looked back at the house one last time as we left. I was still shaky but

“The tale I'm about to tell you is one about love and a desire to protect those who we care most about. It happened many, many years ago, back in a time when witches existed and they had the power to do and undo.” Mrs Danbury began her story“There was a young witch named Lydia who fell hopelessly in love with her best friend, a human boy who was always ill at health. As they grew older, Lydia only got stronger in the practice of her magic while Silas got weaker and weaker”“In a desperation to save her love, Lydia cast a powerful spell that greatly upset the balance of nature. She wished to make Silas stronger and unlike any other man, and she got that, but there was also a price to pay. Silas became a monster, turning at every full moon…”As she carried on with the story, I could feel myself being drawn into it, being immersed into a new world, where it had all begun.~ALMERIA, 1500 YEARS IN THE PAST>I sat in the fields watching the swallows dip and weave, listening

Oakville, Present day>“So you see my dear, that is how the werewolves cam to be. Silas was the first wolf created by Lydia. She was very powerful and perhaps knowing that she thought she was invincible”I was left in awe as Mrs Danbury finished her story. The werewolf gene was originally supposed to be a cure. Things hadn't gone as Lydia had planned, but was it really a curse?“How do you know so much?” I asked her as she got up to clear the table.“That my dear, is a question for another day. How I know is not important. It iis what I know you should be more concerned with”“There's more?”“Of course there is. The spell Lydia used to create the wolf gene was very complex. There are lots of ties and knots that can only be undone at the right time. Many of them are best left untouched for now”“You're trying to tell me something else… what is it?”“By now, you should know there is something more going on, and you my dear are the center of it all. I'm sure you've felt it

Kieran's icy glare froze me in place. His words were like needles piercing my heart. “Don't expect anything from me. And if you love yourself, you'll stay as far away from me as possible” With that, he let me go and I fell to the couch speechless and unmoving as he left the house. It felt like a piece of me had broken inside. I was still sitting alone when Esme came and sat next to me. She pulled me closer to her as she stroked my hair. She didn't say anything, she didn't need to. Her being there was enough for me. I was still upset but I needed her. I couldn't process any emotions properly at that time.Esme accompanied me to my room and she stayed the night with me. I never really slept. I might have closed my eyes a bit but it wasn't to sleep, rather it was to stop rouge tears from leaving my eyes. I refused to cry over a man that treated me like the plague. I would not be weak. When morning came, Esme got out of bed when she thought I was still asleep and she left the room. I

I had always thought about how unlucky I was when I'd been brought into this life. Such a lonely existence. My parents, my home. I never had much to look forward to and no reason to want to wake up each day and get on with my life. My home wasn't a home, it was just a building and I did not have a family. Yet now, the thought of leaving what little I had behind to live amongst strange people scared me. “I'm not going anywhere. You can't make me”“I'm sorry Eva, and it pains me to say this, but you don't have much of a say in this. The only thing I can do as your friend is prepare you for it. I can teach you what you need to know to become Luna–”“No” I said simply, cutting her off“I know everything seems to be happening so fast and it might be scary but I promise it's not all bad… with time you'll see. You have been chosen to lead one of the strongest packs and usher them into a new era”“I don't understand anything you're saying right now and I don't even want to understand. My ans

“I don't think it was some random animal attack,” James said with certainty. It was clear to me that I wouldn't be able to change his mind or divert him from his train of thought. His mind was made up. He knew something more was going on.“James the witnesses said they heard a growl. It was definitely an animal. I mean what else could it have possibly been?”“What animal doesn't leave a single trace? I would've ripped him apart and there would be blood stains but there was nothing, nothing at all. You don't seriously think that's normal do you?”Of course I didn't think that but I couldn't tell him anything I knew. Still I knew he just needed me to believe him and not call him crazy like most people would.“No… you're right. Something is definitely up” “Exactly what I thought. I can't tell this to anyone else… they'd probably think I was crazy. But I just had to tell someone and you were the first person I thought of”His eyes met mine and his tight expression faltered away as he st

It had been confirmed, my stalker was a girl.What was her purpose? What did she have against me? And why hadn't she done anything? She was right in front of me, she practically had my life in her hands but she hadn't even said so much as a word.What if she didn't want me dead? Perhaps she was only trying to scare me for some reason. I got up and ran to the balcony, looking for any traces of the girl but she was nowhere to be found. I went back in and shut the door. I pulled the window blinds closed too before I went and sat on my bed.That door wouldn't stop her. She had proven that to me twice already. Was that her goal? To make me feel unsafe as she kept taunting me and stalking me?My mind flew back to the news of the missing boy. It dawned on me that I could've been in his position too if the girl had done anything to me. I imagined James waking up in the morning to find me missing.He would probably look for me all over the house. What would he do when he realised his fears h
His Unwanted Mate Chapter 24
"What is it you wanted to talk about Esme?” I asked slowly, getting inpatient. Her statement had triggered me. I didn't want her poking into my love life anymore. “Did you hear about the boy that went missing?”The fear I'd felt last night returned, taking a hold of my body. My eyes drifted away from Esme's and into the distance as I remembered the black clothes she had worn as she stood in front of me with an air of mystery and danger. And then I remembered her jumping off my balcony. She wasn't a human. That I was sure of and it only made me all the more terrified of what her plans were with me.I was in a completely different space and I hadn't heard Esme calling my name until she shook me gently. “Eva?”“What?”“You zoned out… are you okay?”“Yes, why wouldn't I be?”“Well, did you hear what I asked you? About the boy that went missing?”“Yes, what about it?”“I know it's a lot to ask, but I would really like it if you moved back in with us”“Why?”“He was taken by a wolf. All t
