Hidden in plain sight...
A commotion of cars pulling up can be heard behind me as tyres screech to a halt but I don’t dare take my eyes off the rapidly unfolding scene in front of me. The crowd begins to whisper in the revelation of my connection to Elijah, their words clear as day as my hearing switches from one conversation to another, tuning in uncontrollably to the different discussions surrounding my identity and Elijah’s recently ended engagement. Gossiping and whispering like a hushed wave.
“Call for back up Boss?” Dakotas voice sounds from behind me, gratefully welcomed with the escalating situation. I turn around quickly and watch her and a handful of large wolves stroll through the crowd, dispersing them in a terrifying panic as everyone begins to scuttle home not wanting to be caught in a disagreement with two rivalling Alpha’s and a sudden swarm of intimidating warriors.
“Just in time, Dakota!” Elijah chuckles, shifting back into his human form and quickly putting on a pair of pa

Desperate kicks and punches are thrown at the amused boys as they easily escape her clumsy attempts of causing harm, laughing mockingly at the feeble attack, blocking her from getting too close to either Elijah or myself.“-I didn’t bring you along with me for you to go and make a fool out of me!” Vincent sneers at his daughter, authority riddled in his tone causing her to stop dead in her tracks.

His composure completely lost, visibly agitated and seething with embarrassment as they’re escorted out like criminals being taken away.Aubrey remains stubborn, refusing to walk as she allows her feet to drag behind her in a comical fashion.

I feel lost for words; speechless, unable to break free from my racing train of thought despite the burst of conversation flowing around me while we all settle into the warm living room after a long, chaotic day.I’m unsure of how to feel while the uncomfortable heavy beating of my heart continues to thump rapidly under my ribs making my stomach churn as I process the details of today’s unnerving events. Was it really him? Is my mind playing tricks on me?“Well, that went well,” Dakota jokes, taking off her coat. “Maybe we shouldn’t go out anymore?” she teases.“It could have been worse…” Mato snorts as he crashes onto the sofa with his sister trailing behind, “-it went better than

“I don’t understand how any of this is happening,” I groan in complaint to my wolf, my body flopping onto the bed with little effort feeling slightly overwhelmed. I roll over to face the ceiling; gazing numbly as I place my hand on my forehead, soothing the gentle throbbing in an attempt of easing the creeping pain beginning to breakthrough. Truthfully, I have no idea. At this point, your guess is as good as mine.“I swear it was your voice! It sounded just like you,” I mutter confused; my mind fogging with doubt as I try to decipher whether there was any truth behind what I had encountered in my dream, questioning my memory as I ask one last time, “-are you sure it wasn’t you?” Willow, I promise it wasn’t me!

Our attention is quickly snatched away without any warning, our discreet conversation disrupted and instantly forgotten about when the kitchen doors swing wide open. A loud creak accompanies the motion which breaks the hushed, still air and startles us in response. My body jolts as we watch Dakota emerge from the other room; my heart thudding quickly in my chest as we find ourselves momentarily caught off guard, unsure to whether prying ears may have overheard Raven’s secret plans. As we scramble to regain a collected composure Dakota stops in her tracks, placing her hand on her hip and carefully surveying us both with a hint of curiosity riddled within her bright green eyes.“What did I miss?” Dakota asks suspiciously as she approaches us slowly with a raised eyebrow. She walks cautiously, trying to figure out what is going on before diverting her sole focus onto Raven.“Nothing much. I was

As the evening rolls into the night, an unsettling silence consumes the once lively room; an unspoken fear growing inside of us like a parasite attacking away at its unknowing host, unmercifully consuming our once flowing positivity that was only recently harboured. We say goodnight mournfully and retire to our quiet bedrooms; every one of us dreading what the next day may bring if the Trinity Council’s suspicions are right, all as equally worried as the other while we question what our future may hold if this threat is deemed to be true.Despite my best efforts of trying to fall asleep, I find myself restless, my stomach in knots while my thoughts wander making it close to impossible to try and settle down.
