MITCHJust like he promised, it only took him a few minutes to arrive at the hospital. We were still standing outside the door, waiting for the doctor to call us, but there had been nothing of that sort. It was almost as if she forgot we were outside waiting for good news. “My Alphas,” Jeremy greeted, bowing to us. He had changed out of the outfit he wore earlier today when we checked on the first corpse that surfaced this morning. From how wet his hair was, it wasn't difficult to know he had just had his bath. Running his hand through his hair, he smiled when he noticed I was looking at him. “I hate the smell of blood, so I —”“The smell of blood?” I interrupted, frowning at him. “What stink of blood?”Last I checked, aside from the animals he 'gifted' Summer, he always cleans his victims before hanging them. I didn't understand where the blood he was speaking of came from. “This was different. After you left, we discovered another body. He didn't hang this one. We knew he was th
SUMMERI woke up feeling like shit. My body didn't hurt, not as much as I thought it would, after the hit I got. I sat up on the bed, looking around the unfamiliar room. It only took a sniff for me to know where I was. Puzzled, I glanced around once more, trying to identify where my mates went. It was surprising waking up alone in the room. Had this been at home, I would have figured they were out making lunch for me. It made no sense that they would leave me alone in the hospital, of all places. Knowing who they were, they would have stood around my bed, waiting for me to open my eyes. Frowning, I got down from the bed, my hand going to my head. The last thing I remembered was the branch falling on me before I blanked out. There was no bandage around my head like I feared. There was just a plaster on the left side of my face. Touching it, I walked towards the door, desperate to know why my mates left me alone in the room. I had just placed my hand on the doorknob when I heard Mi
SUMMERWe were supposed to leave for the human city today. I'd been eagerly awaiting the date they promised me, too excited to think of anything else. Different scenarios went through my head as I tried to imagine how the day would go. Which was why I rose early this morning. I didn't take the sleeping drugs they left for me, opting to fight with my demons today if it meant I got to wake up early for the date. Mr Lover didn't call in the evening of that day as he promised, but I woke up the next morning to the horror of my life. Hanging on the seal of the window of my room was a dead man. My mates had to change my room after that because I couldn't even step foot in it without thinking of the horrible scene. They assured me we would change houses after they settled everything, and I couldn't wait for that. I didn't tell them of the message I got and they didn't ask, not that they knew what they would ask about. They were yet to tell me what they discussed with Jeremy, which was why
MIKEWe woke up early to get ready for the day. Mitch had gotten everything set out like he promised. Though we didn't know half of what he planned, we were excited because our mate was feeling the same way. We could tell how happy she was last night, humming under her breath as she ate dinner. Her happiness was contagious. “What are we wearing today?” Miles asked, sitting up on the bed, yawning as he rubbed his hand over his eyes. We didn't sleep well last night, not only because of the date but issues of the killer. It had kept us sleepless for days now.We met a female teacher two days ago, who was able to give us lists of names of the boys who were in that class. Among the 10 she gave, 8 were already deceased. The remaining 2 weren't in the pack, which I was grateful for. I doubt the deranged killer will ever go to the human city, just go kill them. We sent our men to the human city to trace the two that left for studies. Though our people were against opening up our city to th
MITCHI couldn't tell what took place after we arrived at the school and rushed to the hall to get Jeremy. Everything happened so fast. Someone blew a powder in the air, stunning us. We didn't think it was something serious until we noticed a shift in the air. A rage blinded me, so intense that I couldn't think of anything else. What I wanted was to shred everything in my way, and anyone, to claw at my body and rip my heart off. I'd never felt such resentment before. It seemed like there was a raging storm in my heart, and I wanted it out. I tried to rid myself of such a murderous thought by thinking of our mate, but it wasn't working. Though it didn't grip me hard whenever I thought of her, there was this feeling I got just from it. Yelling in frustration, I fell to the ground. I heard sounds next to me. It sounded oddly like people fighting and someone arguing, but I couldn't tell for sure whether or not my mind was playing tricks on me. I screamed, ripping off my shirt as I rol
SUMMERI almost ran mad with worry, tugging on my hair, which I had long removed from the ponytails. I knew I looked like a mess, but I didn't mind. Not when my mates were missing.I didn't know where to run to or whom to call. Since they took my phone with them when they left, I couldn't do anything aside from standing in front of our property, hoping I could hitch a ride with someone to their office to check on them. They might have left early to complete their task. However, deep down, I felt there was something wrong. Not only had my mates never done something like this before, but Mitch would have stayed back if it were just a mere going over to the office to finish up their tasks. Groaning, I tugged on my hair, trying not to let my thoughts drift towards the bad lane it wanted to take. I couldn't afford that. Not now, and certainly not ever. I looked down the empty road, praying for their return. It was still early in the morning, so there was no one on the road, not like I w
I stepped towards them on shaky legs, my gaze taking everything in, from their bruised faces to their chest. I doubt any human would have survived what they did because of the wounds they had on their bodies. I got to Mike's bed since it was the first one from the door. Touching him, I sniffed back the tears that threatened to fall like a broken dam. He didn't react to my touch, a first for him.I'd never been able to sneak up on them because of how sharp and sensitive their noses were. They always caught me before I could sneak on them, which wasn't fair. Leaving Mike's side, I went over to the others, touching them and hoping they would open their eyes to look at me, to tell me that everything was going to be okay. I needed their reassurance now, more than I ever did, and wanted to hear them tell me how much they loved me and would keep me safe. None of them stirred as I touched them. Mitch had the most wounds and his lips looked like something he had bitten on countless times. T
Jeremy was sitting on the bed when I stepped in. Compared to the last time we saw, he looked like one who had survived a zombie apocalypse. Unlike my mates, who had bruises on their bodies, his wounds looked more like claws. And the red mark around his neck stood out the more. “Were you trying to hang yourself?” I demanded, walking over to the bed. It was obvious what caused the red line. I'd seen 2 of the deceased victims. It was the same shape and colour.He shook his head, grimacing from the pain. “I encountered the killer this morning,” he replied, his voice so low I had to strain my ears to hear him. “You met Mr Lover?” I asked, closing the distance between us. “Mr Lover? Is that the name he told you? In high school, they knew him as the Scorpion.”I gasped. “Have you found out who he is? Has he gotten arrested? Do you —”“That's where the problem is,” he responded, looking at me with partially closed eyes. “Though he took a copy of the photos I got with me, I was able to hide
