“One of these days, you understand you would have to shift, right?”
Tilting my head up, I’m greeted by the hut’s ceiling. It was brown and dingy. Cobwebs aplenty were formed at the corners. Interestingly enough, I’ve found it more entertaining to watch how a small spider was wrapping a bug, squinting my eyes I notice that it was a moth, in a crystallized white web cone. It probably got stuck there or something. Someone cleared his throat

If I know what love is, it's because of you.✾ Kofi wakes up a few minutes after dawn. We opted that he stayed at Judith and Gale’s house for the night. Since we did stay up late almost quarter of the night preparing things that we might need. Some time last night too, Yohan went out to hunt for some meat that the old couple could have. While waiting for the crop I gave Martha to grow. I also reminded them to give some to Martha, and if there were tons of extras, give some to the other villagers.

Explore a gainful uncertainty than to sit in a painful certainty.✾ I place Kofi in between my legs and made him hold tightly on the scarf I placed on Yohan’s wolf form. He didn’t agree with the idea before since it made him look like a pet more than a werewolf. That and Judith and Gale didn’t really know we would be travelling via wolf. It’s a good thing that Kofi still didn’t understand some of the rules and regulations of the world that’s why he didn’t so much as blink an eye when Yohan shifted. Kofi said he was used to him shifting, and it came a surprise to me because the older man was teaching the pup how to use his wolf.
Rules and Roses Sixty-Two
Any love or happiness given to anyone always comes back.✾ The moment I felt a cool breeze kiss my cheek; I knew we were closer than I had anticipated. Even though I promised myself that I wouldn’t doze off, I felt myself nodding away until I fell asleep. It felt like it was just a few minutes, however it feels like it had been hours instead since the sun is up right now. It was probably noon. Yawning, I notice Kofi looking at me with his big doe eyes again. He was shivering, even though he was already wearing the poncho I’ve made for him, his teeth were still clacking together, his shoulders shaking. Sighing, I pull him closer to me.
Rules and Roses Sixty-Three
A red rose is not selfish because it wants to be a red rose.✾ “Your arm?” I blink reluctantly at the woman in front of me. Biting my bottom lip, I slowly raise my hand and show her my wrist. She grabs onto it, pulling it towards her. She smiles at me, or I think she does, the only part of her that I could see either way was her lips, the bottom part of her nose, and everything below her ankles. Then she pulls a small sharp pen from her pocket, stabs it on my wrist, making me flinch. The pen starts turning red, and just like that sh

It is exactly because a man cannot do a thing that he is a proper judge of it.✾ My heart hammers inside my chest as I look at the way my blood fills up the small little pen the woman in front of me had injected by my wrist. I had some Alpha blood in me, but I knew for a fact that it didn’t exceed 50%. From where I was asked to stand, I couldn’t see how Kofi and Yohan’s blood injections were going. I knew Kofi could come inside, but Yohan? I highly doubt it. The lady smiles at me again, her hood blocking half of her face. I j
Rules and Roses Sixty-Five
He who will have no judge but himself condemns himself✾ When you think about it, just who in the world has the right to judge someone for something that is a big part of their lives? If there was ever a chance, would you judge a father for leaving his kids every other day just so he could earn a living and be able to feed them three times a day? If there was ever a chance, would you judge a woman for wearing skimpy clothing every chance she gets because that’s the only piece of clothing where she feels powerful? If there was ever a chance, would you just women who let people step over them like they were dirt, just so they could save a population, just so they could give their families a future where they don’t have to worry about money?
Rules and Roses Sixty-Six
Cleanliness is a state of purity, clarity, and precision.✾ I had to pinch myself to make sure that I was still in Cinco and not some magical place. Azure looked like it came out of a story book. Not just any story book, a book that I usually saw in my textbooks when they talked about Utopias. Everything was pristine, clean, and shiny. There were no dilapidated houses, not like the other towns we’ve been to. Dare I say, Azure looked so much better than the capital. The buildings seemed like they were all made from glass and looked as if t

Mirrors don't lie.✾ To tell you that the shower was nothing short of amazing would be an understatement. I felt as if I just went into another dimension the moment I went out the stall. All the grime and filth I’ve accumulated for the weeks I’ve been outside the gates were washed away. It was good that there was also a loofah in the wooden basket, I was able to really scrub every corner of my body until it turned red. I even made it a point to manually brush my hair and the roots with my hands. Just to make sure that every piece of dirt will be removed. &n
