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
"I got it!" I dashed back to where they were.The boy was still stuck in his form and position and I felt more pity for him when I realized that he would have to suffer a little wolfsbane as a child."What's your name?" I squatted in front of the little child."Sean," he replied, squeaking. "You know what wolfsbane is right?" I asked, not being able to bring myself into giving it to him without his permission. He nodded his head and I smiled."I do," Sean whispered."I'll have to inject it into your vein, along with some other medicine, the pain will only last for a few seconds," I paused to look at him with a reassuring smile.His eyes never left mine as he thought well about his next decision. We could always wait till he got really tired and turned back to human but no one knew how long it was going to take. He was a child, he was full of energy, so it could be hours before he wore off. And with the look of things, he still had no idea on how to control his wolf, meaning he couldn
"Right, use my only weakness against me, it's also sad how you base your entire life on violence," with that, I walked away from him and everyone else.I had gotten to a distance from them, but then a force pulled me back and I found myself pinned again, against a way. Lance's hand was around my neck and gripping even tighter than what Jeff had done."Haven't I warned you about respect, I'll kill you like the worthless being you are," his glare was cold and hard and it bore into my soul."Yeah, kill me because I did the job I'm professional at. As long as I don't get to look or cope with you again. I'd rather be prisoners to the vampires than mates with you," the words game out like venom out of my mouth that I felt its weight when I spoke. It was like I had stung him where it hurt the most, I watched his eyes dilate from cold to shocked and soft. I knew I should not have said it to him and I knew it possibly hurt the oh so mighty Lance. His grip around me loosened and I sucked in a
He needed his tea again. Lance stood up to leave and I didn't object, I was still in shock by his reveal. It made more sense, no one could just be this heartless and hard without a reason. His cough got worse before he could leave my workshop and just when he was at the door, about to leave, he dropped to the ground."Lance," his name rolled out of my lips as I rushed towards him to raise him up."Stay here, I'll go get your drugs," I said dashing off to his room to get it.His room!I was in his room. I had been there once, but I did not exactly get enough views as I did at the moment."I'll get it myself," Lance blurted out and I gasped in shock. He had enough strength to make his way here. I was surprised. "Leave," he added and I frowned."Why, you need help–""I don't need your help,""Well, I'm staying till I'm sure my Alpha and mate is feeling better," I objected and reached for the tea on his drawer. "Hayley,""Oh for once don't be stubborn and settle down Lance," I glared a
He left them and walked right past me, signaling me to follow him. I obeyed, trailing his steps behind him. I didn’t question where we were going but I eventually figured out where he was going, my workshop. “What’s up?” Grey asked immediately we were alone“I figured out a way to cure Lance,” I blurted out.I’ve always wanted to tell him since I figured out a cure. I spent more hours in the library, studying ancient curses and their cures and I finally came across one that would help.“What?!” Grey’s eyes widened at my announcements. “No way,”“Yes way, I was in the library and I came across a book and I saw things about curses and their cure. Most curses don’t even have a physical cure, it takes actions of the victim to break a cure. But I doubt that’s it. But I also came across a leaf, it lifts every curse. Every single curse,” I explained, even shocked by my own words.“What?!” Grey repeated with the same expression.“There is a problem though, you can only find it at the top of
I was pissed at the stubbornness of my mate and his reluctance for me to assist him in finding a permanent cure for his curse. However, deep down I knew he was right though, the risk of going to Mount Wateren was exceedingly high. I had to think of another way to cure him. Entering my workshop I felt a strange sensation that someone had just been in here. I looked around and found an envelope on the floor. My heartbeat rate increased as I picked it up. I flipped it open and read the heading of the card inside: Invitation to the National Healers Conference. “Oh my goodness! Shit this is what I’ve been waiting for my whole life, who placed this here?” I said aloud to myself. “Tell me you’re holding the secret formula list to my curse that doesn’t involve you risking anyone’s head on Mount Watermen.” I heard Lance’s voice suddenly. “It could be,” I replied. “National Healers Conference, Lance I got invited! Can you believe it?”He smiled. “I personally received the invitation on your
When we were still little Elena tried to set my room on fire, my dad had quickly rushed in with the fire extinguisher to quench it. My dad did not scold her for it, Instead he said it was an accident. Watching the burning glow of the firewood that lit the forest brought back the memory from my childhood days. We were setting camp in a nearby forest. Lance wanted us to have an outdoor experience away from castle walls to celebrate Betas Grey and Sonia’s one year wedding anniversary. There was so much laughter and joy on everyone’s face. Everyone was talking at the same time. “Settle down everyone,” Grey said, “I have an important announcement to make. Sonia is a few weeks pregnant!”There were hearty cheers and I looked at Sonia dumbfounded. I did not know what else to do except to give her a hug. Everyone came around her and lavished her with congratulations. Grey’s eyes were glistening with tears but he did not let it fall. He looked so proud, too proud and I wondered if any of it w
“Hayley, please you need to calm down,” Lance said, trying to make me settle on my bed.“Calm down, when I’m under a threat, the vampire wants me and I think my sister too and you’re telling me to calm down?” I replied, not responding to him but pacing back and forth.A normal person would not be calm if they received a message like that, especially after the vampire had come to threaten me a few minutes ago in person.“Tomorrow is going to be a big day, you need to rest, you need a good night’s sleep,” he insisted calmly. He simply had never even been normal, for him to act so relaxed about the entire thing.“How do you expect that I sleep Lance, a death threat is sprawled across my window meaning someone had access to my room, what if someone comes in later tonight to get me, you said it yourself, I’m weak, I will have no chance against them,” my palm became sweaty and so was my forehead. I was being paranoid, I knew that but it was for my own safety, people wanted me, possibly dea
