I head towards the cabins gently creaking door as the wind begins to pick up its pace outside, howling softly while my wolf's confidence begins to take root within, a steady flow of adrenaline coursing through my pulsing veins as I gradually settle into our newly shifted form. Soon her intensified emotions cloud my very own; effortlessly conquering my jittering nerves as I give in to her dominating presence, altering my state of mind as any hesitation I had previously felt disappears without a second thought. I push through the weathered barricade uncaringly, channelling my wolf’s surfacing hubris while I burst back into the open glade with my head held high, striding back across the empty field as I make my way towards the others.
As I near the group of waiting wolves I can sense a steady flow of watching eyes begin to fixate on me while my wolf's personality continues to seep into mine, blurring the line that usually separates us from one another. A mixed display of c
My body begins to tremble with excitement as the pent-up information held within me all day begins to pour out. The heavy burden of secrecy being lifted from my over lumbered shoulders causes a rolling wave of relief to flood throughout me while Elijah rubs his stubbled chin, listening attentively as I fill him in on what I had uncovered this morning. I watch as he nods his head in acknowledgement; somehow managing to take in each rushed word that escapes from my blabbering mouth as it moves one hundred miles an hour, bobbing his head gently every few seconds as he tries to make sense of my passionate ramblings regarding the Blue Moon Pack’s ancestral book.He raises an intrigued eyebrow; folding his muscular arms against his chest causing them to almost burst from the confinement of his fitted shirt, a glimmer of bewilderment shimmering within his steel-like eyes as I tell him about the ancient language inscribed upon the crumbling pages held within the book of memoirs
“Dad died a few years ago. Don’t you remember?” Elijah answers his frowning mother remorsefully as we notice her fogged mind begin to take over while she shakes from her rising temper, her illness erasing the memories of her husband’s demise on this given day.“No. You’re lying,” she snatches her hands away from him, “-you’re fathers not dead. Stop talking nonsense, boy,” she crosses her arms in spite.“I’m not lying mum,” Elijah stands from his chair appearing hurt from her hateful action of snappily pulling away from him, “-you know this,” he shakes his head sullenly.“Stop it!” she shouts abruptly, “Stop filling my head with your poisonous lies! Your father isn’t dead, Elijah!” she screeches, “How dare you say such awful things!”I take a step back; receding away from the bed as his mother lashes out rabidly, the veins ben
With sunken shoulders, my chin unknowingly dips down towards my chest while my hands find their way to my elbows. I grip them tightly, fighting the disappointment rising within me, disheartened at my failed attempt of reasoning with my brother’s unexpected stubbornness.I press my folded arms into my stomach while it begins to churn like an unsteady sea; unsettled by the sudden nervousness taking hold of me while I stumble backwards, lost for words as I lean against the wooden bannister while the uncertainty of Ash’s unknown decision brings my mission of discovery to a grinding halt. I turn around reluctantly, struggling to command myself to trudge up the final staircase as I head to my room while every part of me screams to do the opposite, eagerly urging me to head back downstairs and reason with my brother until he sees a glimmer of sense.As I reach my door I let out a heartfelt sigh in defeat, already aware of my unwanted decision of leaving the battle
Crescent markings bare into the palms of my hands as my fists continue to tighten, my nails cutting deep into my raw flesh while my muscles begin to tense mechanically. A surge of adrenaline courses throughout me causing my body to shudder gently as I raise my chin, my frame wavering as I tremble from the untamed fury seeping through my heavily pulsating veins.As if any previous concerns of today had been erased within the blink of an eye, I allow my emotions to escape without restraint. With no barrier holding them back, they dominate the room; breaking free from my held preservations and leaving me with my animalistic instincts alone, obliterating any rational thoughts I recently possessed when I first walked into this room.My eyes remain locked on Aubrey as she lets out a shaky whimper while shuffling backwards; with heavy breaths she almost stumbles over a footstool as she navigates her way back to Vincent’s side, her eyes unbudged from my own while she sta
In a whirlwind of excitement, the day continues to take its twist and turns as it unfolds. Surprising us in the process as revelations and secrets surface into the light; altering our paths going forward as they overlap and entwine with one another's, solidifying our relationship with the Shadow Pack even further as another root settles within the stem of its foundation given the recent pairing.“Well, I wasn’t expecting that to happen,” Ash’s lip curls slightly; his hands folded against his chest while he leans against the doorframe wistfully.I watch curiously as he gazes after the girls while flame-like hues dance in the sky above them; his head tilting to the side as the blurred silhouettes of Dakota and Lillie disappear into the vast garden, vanishing into the flourishing sea of colour as they head off on a private walk while the night begins to trickle in.“Yeah, I didn’t see that coming,” I muse alongside him; int
My palms become clammy as I watch Elijah silently navigate his way through his phone, its bright screen casting a heavy glow around him as it illuminates the dimly lit room while his fingers thud harshly against the digital screen. I watch as his hand shakes furiously while he pens an unseen message, taking his time to read over what he had just written before raising the device to his ear. Within a few moments, the familiar outgoing dialling tone faintly sounds from the mobile held within his palm while he impatiently waits for the unknown callee to answer. His foot rhythmically tapping against the flooring in sync with the ringing chime as he frowningly gazes upwards. “Hey, Tyler-“ Elijah announces before taking in a deep breath; his expression lifting slightly as a wave of relief rolls across his face while he pauses, revealing the identity of the mysterious recipient as they answer on the other end, “-uh, not really. I need you to check something over for me. Take a look
As the remnants of the shuddering knocks continue to echo within the manor, Isaac makes haste as he rushes down the hallway behind me. The patter of his footfall growing louder as he joins me at the open door while flashing a dubious glare towards our new arrivals, trying to make out their faces before his scepticalness dwindles away allowing a surprising toothy grin to take its place as he warmly greets his cousin. I watch as the relatives catch sight of one another while Jackson steps foot into the wide entrance; towering above us as he walks forward with open arms, clasping them around Isaac as they pat one another’s back in a strong, fierce hold.“Ha! Look what the storm brought in,” Isaac mocks as we catch a glimpse of the dark, turbulent clouds gathering above in the recently clear sky; the once gentle breeze now bitter as it howls through the open door, “-I didn’t realise Elijah had sent out the invitations for the ceremony already. Did yo
With Isaac leaving the office to get on with his increasingly burdened day I slump down in Elijah’s recently vacated chair; taking a moment to collect my thoughts as a tide of confusion creeps over me while I take in a deep breath, exhaling ruefully while I rest my elbows on the solid desk. I allow my head to lull in my palms heavily; burying my face against my clammy hands while I contemplate the weight of my recently made promise, uncertain of whether that was the right call to make.I take a moment to collect myself; taking a step back from the situation as I remove the mental restraints that are preventing me from seeing the bigger picture, granting me a greater perspective of the matter despite feeling my wolf’s pride being jolted willingly on my behalf in the process of the unexpected negotiations. After having a few minutes to think everything over I jump to my feet, brushing myself down as I rid my mind of any doubt before praising myself while I stand by
