The following morning, I assembled my weak bones, picked up my stressed ass, and helped my weak body to the bathroom; all my body ached; I could barely bend over; a little girl who had just delivered a baby in not later than 42 hours received no help from anybody; my pack abandoned me because of stupid tradition.It still feels like a dream to me how my whole life changed for the worse within a minute. It was as if the universe hated me and the moon goddess despised me. People whom I am better off than call me a rogue whore; maybe if I had listened to my father's concern, I wouldn't be here today, but I am more than happy with my decision."Where is she? Where is that whore?"The head nurse kept shouting like a woman who had just lost some coins to roadside pickers: What the fuck is damn with this woman? What does she have against me? Did I steal her puppy? I mean, she is very mean to me."I had to rush out of the bathroom with my body poorly drained; I had barely scrubbed well; I had
At 5 p.m. in the evening, the atmosphere became more still like a void planet, then a thunderstorm struck twice with a red flashlight that will definitely meet you irrespective of where you are, and a strange wind filled up the entire community. Everyone was scared and terrified; children were found clamped in their mother's breast, mates were holding each other tightly, the trees were not left out, and animals were running for their lives. There were blood spills at every boundary of a given territory, and this allowed it to cross into a new clan to devour them.The alphas are shifting; they howl and groan to protect the community; the moon goddess is prayed to send the full moon; and the clan, packs, and territory need more wolves to fight for them.It is the beast—the masked monster—who has been terrorizing the entire wolf community in the last five years. It comes on the 12th, 17th, and 25th of every month. It kills and devours every wolf, werewolf, and animal it beholds.He is see
It is 2:45 p.m. the next day, yet everyone is still soaked in the ambience of yesterday's terrible attack. Taking a whiff of fresh air while feeling uneasy with my reality, I held my baby in my palms while beholding his cute face. "When will all this be over, my son?" Is there any possibility of us living like every other wolf out there? As much as I hate to admit it, I miss them so much. I miss your grandparents; they are not bad people; after all, you sure would love them when you grow up. Swinging my two legs, I lifted up his cute, tender hands and kissed them; I can't wait but only wish he starts talking to me; my son is damn cute; yes, you heard me; his amber eyes leave mouth talking; everyone wishes to have an amber-eyed child; it is a rare color that only comes from a blood alpha's clan. "Have you seen my sister? Have you seen my sister? A voice said repeatedly: I had to ignore that voice; after all, I am alone here; not even my brother could come visit me, and even if he
Two weeks laterIt has been two weeks now since my son and I left the hospital. We live in the downhill city, which is not far from the hospital. This place is quiet and peaceful even though one could barely see a half wolf. The house is an uncompleted building that was used by wolf hunters in the past before the werewolf community sent them all away and marked their territory. The body of the house is made of crafty, beautiful bamboo sticks. Its roof is made of blue trampoline sheets. There are no windows yet, but I was able to find aluminum sheets, which, to me, look great. My little son Leo is growing so fast already; his presence in my life gives me hope; he is the essence of my existence. It is 12:15 p.m. As usual, everywhere is calm and peaceful, but there was a noise. While I laid my baby down in his cot, I peeked through my windows and saw a young man. I could only see his back, but from his back, you could at least make a guess at what he could look like. From his back view,
Ooops!!Somehow I managed to make it back to my little mansion. First, I placed the bucket of water down, then carefully brought my baby down from my back. I changed his butt; he was damn soaked from last night. I usually wake up at night to change napkins, but I had none. He was so relaxed and didn't even cry. I am sure he really needed the bath. I applied perfumed jelly cream to his soft skin so he would be nice and fresh for the day.I had to place him in his cot while I washed down with the remaining water. It was indeed refreshing; I missed the shower a lot, something I definitely took for granted. I miss living like before.When my pack kicked me out, I was very lucky to find a huge amount of money that I had saved from the past in one of my pants. I also used to work in an eatery as their receptionist, so I saved up enough money that I thought would have been enough for my baby and me for one year. That's pretty funny, right."I was able to stock up enough formula and napkins fo
Authors POVAt exactly 8 a.m. in the city of valley hillsAll had gathered at the central town hall, which was down in the north at a junction connecting the three different territories.The city of Valley Hall is populated by only werewolves and wolves; there are about four packs. The shadow moonpacks, the moon star packs,the wind winda packs, and the mysterious pack.All the Alphas, accompanied by their respective Omegas, from these territories have gathered to come up with a solution on how to trap and unmask this dreaded monster terrorizing the entire city."I welcome all of you that have gathered here today for us all to put our heads together in killing this dangerous monster in our city." Alpha Valeria says this while avoiding the gaze of Alpha Leo.Alpha Valeria is the father of Elina, the future Luna of shadow moonpack who was stripped of her powers because she fell pregnant with a man who was not her mate. He is the Alpha of the shadow moonpacks, and his pack is gifted with
A few hours later, I entered the room and lay down on the old mat I had found in the room the very first day I found this place, and I am not complaining because what would I have done if I hadn't been lucky enough to meet it here? While I continued looking in the direction of my baby, I couldn't help but to go kiss him; my baby is damn cute."O my God! Little Leo is running a temperature; what do I do? Is even too late to go to the hospital?" I continued to quiver in fear.One of my greatest fears is having him sick. I barely took care of myself, not to talk of another. Going back to that hospital is definitely going to remind me of my reality; the head nurse wouldn't stop raining insults on me, and they may not even show any concern.With my hands on my head, I kept moving to and fro from every corner of the room, imagining what would happen if he died on me. "Shut up, girl. It's just a fever." My wolf spoke up.I remembered that one of the male doctors taught me how to manage fever
While he continued to gaze at me fitfully without stopping to clatter his bunch of keys in his hand, I looked away while praying to the moon goddess that he doesn't remember a thing."You smell familiar; have we met before?"Even though I backed him, I am sure he must have felt the shock that took me out. I paused a while while waiting for him to say something again. I continuously tapped my baby's back like my life depended on it just to see if that question could be ignored.Hey, Miss, can you hear me?" He asked.I gulped a mouthful of air while my mouth gaped open. I kept thinking about them, wondering if he remembered them. One of my concerns is that I wouldn't want him to ask me which pack I was in, knowing that my father and his alpha are not on speaking terms with each other and that their issues have affected both territories.Also, the thought of getting to meet the man who has tossed me off several times is definitely not something I want."Sir, you know you can go now; I rea
