I attempted a smile, hearing the relief in Lucy’s voice. I also heard the scurry of Justin’s feet as he came to my side, touching my forehead.“I am fine guys.” I said, proving it by opening my eyes. Earlier, when they had been debating over the state of my health, I had tried opening my eyes, checking to see if there would be any needles pinching the top of my eyes and brain. But there had been nothing. The last of the symptoms, apart from the weakness and pain in my joints, was over. Now I could bask in the euphoria of seeing my friends so happy that I had overcome again. Lucy hugged me first, but Justin pushed her away gently. “What are you doing? Have you forgotten that the doctor had said that she needed maximum care, and here you are resting your heavy weight on her.” he reprimanded, and I snickered, much to Lucy’s demerit. She pouted her lips as he stared between the both of us. “But I didn't put my entire weight on her. It was just a surface hug.” she whined, folding her ha
STORMIt was the same dream again. I was running from something I couldn’t see. But the fear that assailed my body was as if the enemy in question, something far worse than death was chasing me. The clouds were pursuing me too, or rather the darkness had overtaken the clouds and had caused them to chase after me. But how could I outrun them? Just when the dark heavy clouds were about to engulf me, I screamed and woke up. I was perspiring all over, breathing deeply in and out. At least I hadn’t seen the ugly monster or the shape-shifting woman always donned in snakes and scorpions who kept chanting stuff about revenge and retribution and cursing my mother. I sniffed, feeling the wetness of my bed sheet. The dream must have been going on for quite a long time. I thought, taking in slowly, a deep breath to calm my frantic self down. I took another slowly, allowing my eyes to adjust to the darkness in the room. It was just a mere dream. I kept muttering to myself, my heart beat plumme
STORMLucy and Justin were bickering with themselves as usual in my room the next day, something about the best singer for the week. I couldn’t care less. The thoughts of Kaden had never left my mind. What was the meaning of this? I asked myself, wondering how I had fallen this deep without even knowing. For god's sake we had just met two days ago, well technically two years ago, but that didn’t matter because I was with Curtis then, and Kaden had just been a handsome stranger. What was so different about him? I thought, shaking my head the next second. What was so different? Well, he was hot for one! The hottest I have ever seen. That’s different. But I felt that there was much more. I couldn’t just be hooked onto a guy because of hotness. I was not superficial like Miranda.“Hey Storm, what are you thinking about?” That was Justin asking. Nice of him to have taken a break from the bicker and notice me. I mused, looking at both of them. The duo should start dating already. I don’t
KADENSince I had heard that loud clash by Storm’s window, since I had walked Avery out of my room the previous night, citing a headache immediately after, since I had gone over to see Storm, and she had walked me out, forbidding me to see her again, I was tethering on a tiny thread between sanity and madness. Was this how it was? I thought, donning another cup of alcohol. How would I feel then if my lycan was available? Well, even if I wasn’t sure of the possessiveness of my wolf since I hadn’t really had a real woman when it had been around, one thing I was sure of was that I wouldn't have left her room that night, after she had screamed right after she had woken up, whether she had wanted me to stay in or not. My lycan wouldn’t have allowed it. Lycans, as they are very powerful, are very possessive. And since I descended from a royal bloodline, it made things much worse. My friends have been trying to reach me, especially Casper, but I had shut them out, knowing that the advice t
KADEN“Aren’t you going to say something?” Casper asked, and I shrugged. What did they want me to say? That I would leave Storm and not see her again, or that I would snap out of my stupid haze of futile longing for a human? Well, I won’t! And so, there was no reason for saying that because my word was my bond, and they knew that. Well that was shit! I had broken my words to Storm. She didn't trust me again. And why would she? I thought, my hand grabbing for my cup, forgetting that I had thrown it at Liam earlier.“I think you should stop drinking…” that was Lent. But what does he mean by that? “I know that alcohol doesn’t affect us, but you have taken a lot. Now that we are not sure of the state of your wolf, you should take a break from these.” he said, pointing at the bottles in front of me that I had donned since we had come inside the bar.I furrowed my eyebrows, and stared at my three friends, wishing I had come alone, instead of inviting them over. Then, I would have had the f
STORMAfter a frustrated Justin had left us stranded in the club, I and Lucy had started with making small talks, and sipping our not so alcoholic drink, laughing at intervals at lame jokes, until a man and his friend had approached us, talking the normal bullshit which vile men would say whenever they saw a lady in a short gown, especially red. Well, that was what I was hearing. A red short bodycon gown that exemplified my curves. I wanted to get loose tonight, but having stayed here for almost twenty minutes, I was beginning to think that we had chosen the wrong bar. But then, Lucy and I weren’t really club material. The first and the last time we had clubbed had been on the night of our graduation from high school. The talking guy, seeing that none of his talks were getting to either I or Lucy, proposed a better drink to what we were taking. According to him, we were taking just water, a stupid humour that I wouldn't even call humour, because what I had been drinking was nowhere
STORMI inhaled deeply as I darted glances between the two men who seemed to know each other. Well, this might as well just get the hell interesting. I mused, taking a step away from Mako to the side, not because of Kaden, of course not, but because of my safety-in case they wanted to engage their fists to discuss finally. You can only blame a girl so much for having two guys fight over her. Surprisingly, none of the club servers even came forward to stop the fight that was already brewing. Were they really ignorant or just pretending to be one? I wondered, taking my eyes off the two men for a second to search for either Lucy or Justin in the crowd. If I should see any one of them, I will be out of this place. I was already becoming queasy and seeing Kaden had somehow turned off my crazy mode and mood to dance. I just wanted to go home and sleep.“Mako, you really don’t want to go against me. You know that right?” Kaden asked my ‘friend’ who just stared back at him like he hadn’t u
STORM“Have a nice night, Storm.” Lent said to me as we stopped by my house. The time should be around 9.pm now. I thought as I nodded my head fitfully to his wishes. “Thanks Lent for seeing me home, for helping me to get my friends home. Thanks a lot.” I mentioned, a small smile on my lips, and he nodded before turning around and walking away. Not wasting another second, I turned the knob of the front door and heaved in relief when I saw that it wasn’t locked. At Least they had kept it open, and not locked me outside.Nice of them. I thought sardonically, walking into the dark sitting room. Pulling my phone from the front pocket of my black tight underwear, I switched on its torch not wanting to alert the household of my presence, not ready for an earful from Miranda. I just wanted to drop on my bed and sleep off. But whilst stalking my way to the staircase, a loud laughter from nearby caused me to stop in my tracks. “Who could be laughing loudly this late at night?” I muttered t
