The forest wasn't quite as I remembered it. As we ran through the woods, I could feel intense discomfort. It was as if the woods were troubled too.
" Why does it feel weird in this place?" I asked Sylvester telepathically.
" The mutant wolves hunt here often. Since they are unable to transform back to their human forms, most of them live wildly like animals," he explained to me.
" They should be able to turn," I said without confidence.
" If it was an alpha that turned them, then yes, they should be able to turn back to their human forms. But what turned them was corrupted magic. Their existence right now is corruption in itself." he said, and I let it drop.
Alex. Damien was restless all through the night. He was worried that Sam was in danger. I wondered how he could feel them when they were far away. I tossed and turned all through the night. By morning, my eyes were still heavy. The twins had come to wake me up in my room, jumping on my bed. It was always a joy to see them in the morning, but this particular morning was different. I was tired and grouchy. I hid my mood and played with them a little. " Okay, let's go get ready for the day," I told them, lifting them. " Hilda already helped us," Nicole said, and I was surprised. I never remembered extending an invitation to Hilda to come to my house in the human town. I was going to deal with the woman my mother sent to help me out. The help was the only explanation for how Hilda got in. Rhonda had asked to take them out. I appreciated her offer, and I was somehow glad because it meant I would get to do some work. I didn't want Rhonda to find Hilda in my home. Rhonda was Sam's best f
Samantha. I felt something tickle my nose, and I jump off the couch. I had fallen asleep after trying to stand guard all night. My eyes were heavy, and I felt a headache approaching. Sylvester stood in front of me in slacks, smiling. I looked down at my body remembering I didn't shift completely and was somehow naked. luckily, I was covered with a blanket and I had shifted back to my human form. "I figured you'd be cold, so I covered you," Sylvester explained. He seemed better than I guessed he'd be by morning. " You seem better," I commented lazily. I felt completely drained and weak. The lack of rest didn't help either. " Thanks to you, I woke up completely healed," he said, pa
Samantha. I was surprised that we had slept through the day and into the night. I woke up in the night briefly and went back to sleep. By morning I was refreshed. Remembering what I had done the previous morning made me nervous. I carefully slid out of the bed and went to freshen up. While in the shower, I hoped that things won't get awkward between Sylvester and me. I got another slack that fit from the wardrobe. This time around it was pink with Puma written on it. I doubted if it was the real thing, but I was glad to have something to wear. Living as a wolf didn't give a lot of room for choices when it came to clothes as you could tear them anytime due to a shift. No wonder the Newmoons kept the clothing cheap. I left Sylvester in the room, sleeping, while I headed out to make breakfast. I intend to check out the so-called armoury after breakfast because I wanted to return to the settlement. Physically I could feel my lack of strength. I could fight some of the mutant wolves, I wa
Alex Alpha Rosehip of the blue moon pack had arranged a meeting with me. Although Hilda had told me he was behind the attacks on our pack, I couldn't act on it until I was sure. So I obliged him. I had to return to the pack settlement for the meeting. I didn't want my children around the same vicinity as Rosehip, so I left them with Elisabeth and Rhonda while Mason and I returned to the pack settlement. The meeting room had already been prepared, and I had informed all the wolves to be on their guards. There had never been trust between the Yellow moon pack and the Blue moon pack. I did not want to be caught unawares. I knew Rosehip wasn't happy that our pack now ranked higher than his, and beating us seemed impossible since we were on the number one spot and his pack was at the third position. What he had tried to do for the Blood moon pack was noble but what he did afterwards was unforgivable. He had also worked against me when he convinced the Alpha of the Full moon pack not to
Samantha Sylvester had returned to the human town with me. We made sure we did not speak of what had transpired between us. There were questions in the air between us, but neither dared to ask for fear of what the outcome might be. Knowing Glover had devised a new method of attack, by gouging out the eyes of his minions so they couldn't be enthralled by my stare, I needed to strengthen my fighting skills. Up until now, I had been fighting from instincts only, but now I needed to train properly and that was precisely why I let Sylvester return with me, and also his father insisted and my hands were tied because the decision was unanimously ratified. We arrived in the morning, I immediately rushed to Alex's house to pick up the tw
Alex I could not let whatever it was Sam believed to linger. I was not fully recovered from the wolfsbane, but I needed to find her. So, I went straight to Elisabeth's house. I feared the reception I would get, but I knew this was something I needed to do regardless of the outcome. If I did not try, I could lose everything I held dear. Sam wasn't happy to see me, as I suspected, but I wasn't fazed by her reaction. She was usually indifferent towards me, and it hurt like hell, but this time around I felt her anger. "Sam, I need to speak with you." I pleaded, and she asked me to leave. There was no Alpha tone in her words, so I was able to resist. " Please, Sam," I pleaded. When I noticed she wasn't going to agree, I pleaded with Elisabeth to excuse us, and she did. " Please, Sam, it isn't what you think. Betty told me what happened." I tried to explain. " I don't care what you do behind closed doors, Alex, but allowing Hilda near my children is a different matter altogether.' she
Samantha I had always wondered what reconciliation would feel like. I took a deep breath and exhaled. Deciding to forgive him brought me great relief. I didn't know I was holding so much in. I had held so much inside. I was angry, hurt and then scared. Alex had hurt me deeply, and even though I knew he was truly sorry, I still felt the need to punish him. I looked at him. I could feel his desperation. Finding out what transpired between Sylvester and I must have been difficult, yet he managed to hold it in and pursue reconciliation instead. I knew it would take a while for him to get over it. I was yet to get over his involvement with Hilda, but it was time for us to move on and put the past behind us. " Alex," I began," When you abandoned me here and rejected me, my entire world crumbled. I never want to feel that way again. " I confessed, and he remained silent. Alex I had no words to respond to what she had said. All I could do was stare and hope. She was about to say somethin
Alex. Waking up next to Sam felt amazing. She looked beautiful in her sleep. I recognised that fragile look she always had on, but I wasn't fooled this time around. I knew she was an Alpha spirit wolf, a goddess, and she was all mine. Indeed the moon goddess had smiled on me. I never imagined that we would reconcile, but it had finally happened. I snuck out of bed so I wouldn't wake her up and headed straight to the bathroom. Seeing my happy reflection in the mirror made me proud. I examined the mark on my shoulder, it had fully healed and was barely visible. Sam had claimed me, and I had claimed her too. I was glad I wasn't stupid enough to allow Hilda to mark me. As I traced the bite, I smiled because it was worth the wait. The pain and suffering were worth it. Sleeping in my office for three years was worth it. Being celibate for three years was worth it. I was glad. By marking each other, we had connected ourselves permanently. I hated sly Sylvester for what he did, but thanks to
