"Hey Hayley, Lance will definitely call for you or come to you," Gray said, breaking the silence. "From there you can possibly ask him to throw more light on his sickness." I nodded. "Sure, I'll definitely be expecting that call."I walked away from Gray and went to the one place in this castle that enabled me to feel in tune with the inner me. At my workshop, I opened the drawer I had kept the witchy doll and picked it up to inspect it. Eavesdropping seemed like the handwork of a curious person. Who wanted to know more about my life? Who, if not you then who? I had someone I suspected but I could not possibly answer how she could come in undetected. Lance had sent a random werewolf to call me up to his room. I didn't even have to go through the trouble of knocking because he opened up the door for me as soon as he sensed me. The room was spacious like a living room. It had a king size bed and everything looked so orderly and beautiful in it. "I blame you Hayley for everything,"
I immediately realized how far I had gone and apologized. I picked up the doll. It was just childish curiosity that must have triggered Beam to take the doll out of my workshop. "Hayley," said Beam as I turned to leave. "What?" I asked, not wanting to turn back to her. "I just don't get you at times that's all," Beam replied. "Don't get me?" I muttered. "What do you mean?""It's like sometimes you become a different person. You're on and off like a light switch flickering, I know people are supposed to have different sides but yours flicker way too much."I considered her words for a moment. Was it true? Did I really change personalities that much? I wondered why that was. I grew up in an abusive environment. I was not exactly getting the best out of the alternative of coming here. So forgive me if I do not seem to have my shit together. I left Beam without a single word. Beam just sort of gave me that older sister's vibe. I had not cared for anyone like that in a long while. In
They all looked at me with expectations, expectations to fail woefully and for them to laugh. But I was so going to disappoint them all, I had spent so many weeks training for the rematch and their looks and laughs were not going to weigh me down. Lucas passed me, not forgetting to hit my shoulders with his but I snickered in reply, showing him that I was not scared of him any longer. We all got to the field, everyone found a place to settle down, leaving a large middle space for the fighters, which were me and Lucas. I turned to Lucas who had already taken his shirt off and I rolled my eyes at how dramatic he could be. One moment he acted normal and the next he turned to a bully that wanted to rip my head off. "Are you ready?!" Jeffery the old man stood up to speak and everyone shouted in unison.Yes!Of course they were ready to watch me get thrown up and down again. How kind of them, to want me in pain. I began to stretch out, walking towards the centre of the field where Lucas
Lucas got to his feet before me, but I was still hurting to get up just yet. He walked towards me with a mischievous grin, thinking that he was ready to win once he got to me. Soon, he was hovering above me, his legs spread wide and his hands on his waist. He wanted to pay back what I had done to him when I jumped on his body, but I slipped away, underneath his legs and everyone laughed at how funny my escape was.Not waiting, I kicked both his legs and he fell off balance. It was my perfect opportunity, he was obviously still stronger than I was, so there was no amount of my blows that could put him down, so instead, I rushed my way towards him, using my reserved energy, I did my best to hold him down on the floor, he struggled but I had the upper hand since I was the one above him. Memories of the failures and the training I had with Gray began to flash across my mind. He was not going to win, I was going to prove to everyone that I could be equally strong. Fisting my palm, I focuse
Furiously, I began to speed walk to the library and as I thought, the door was open, meaning he was in there. His scent was stronger than in my workshop and I was fully sure I was not wrong. "Lan–" I got interrupted by a cough. Then I heard some things fall hard to the ground while the cough continued. I knew who it was exactly so I sped off to the location."Lance," he was on the floor, trying to reach for a small jare of one of my tea. "What're you doing?" I panicked, still confused."The tea, I need more, the other one has finished," he managed to say between all the coughing. I picked up the jar that he was reaching out for and I sighed. He did appreciate the tea I had made for him. What an egoistic bastard.Walking up to him, I sat on the floor and opened the jar. I poured a little quantity of the liquid into the led of the jar and pointed it towards him. He tried to sit up as he opened his mouth to collect the medicine but was failing woefully. So I pulled him closer and pla
"Wake up, sleepy head!" I jerked up awake from my sleep. My bed bounced as I did and I held onto my chest to moderate the way my heart beat."She sleeps a lot," a voice which I recognized as Beam's said and I glared at her and Gray who were standing at my door that was open ajar.My room,"How did I get here?" I questioned, scratching my head in confusion. The time with Lance must not have been a dream, it was too good to be true, but at the same time it felt real, way too real to be a dream."You're in your room, where else should you be?" Grey who was standing right beside her."I know that, but I was..." I trailed off, losing my words too. I couldn't possibly tell them their Alpha slept on my legs last night. "Beam, hurry on and eat breakfast, I'll talk to you later okay?" Grey offered and she hurried on without complaining.With no invite, Gray walked right into my room, going to my curtains and spreading them wide open before taking a seat opposite me on the ground."So, did y
After the attack on my pack, it was only necessary for the alpha to call in a meeting. We were expected to gather in the great hall for the meeting. I strolled briskly down the ornate corridors of the castle. The smell of fresh lily flowers filled my nostrils. I scoffed inwardly as I passed those pack members that were tending to the flowers. I wondered why Lance cared about flowers because he didn't strike me as a flower person. I pushed open the large doors to the great hall and everyone's attention turned to me. Lance glared in my general direction and beckoned on me to join him. "You're late," he whispered. "Sorry," I whispered back. Lance forgot all about me and started addressing everyone."Ahem, brothers and sisters we lost a bunch of good soldiers but as usual I commend you all for defending your home. An attack on our home isn't anything new to us and we all know that we are the least favorites amongst vampires and witches. I would give anything to stop these threats we k
Sonia was in the fields and she was surrounded by Beam and three other children. She was sitting on the ground while one of the boys wrapped his tiny arm around her neck. From afar I could hear her explaining why the children needed to stop playing so much and start taking their own personal training seriously. "Beam most especially you," Sonia said. "You play a lot and you know Lance will soon scold me for it. Now then you guys should meet Grey and tell him to give you guys the lesson plan. Beam I'm placing you in charge of the children's pack."Beam looked like the world had just been dropped on her shoulders. She slouched and opened her mouth but one glance from Sonia made her swallow whatever protest she had coming up. We crossed each other and this time around it was I who stuck my tongue out for her and she glared. "It's nice that you're making them go through the troubles to train!" I said, finally arriving at Sonia's back. Sonia got up"Soon they will realize that it's no t
