“Wow, thank you for that advice. I cannot believe you came up with that.” Max sarcastically said.“Listen, honey..you are a wolf by nature. Wolf blood runs through your veins. Not just any ordinary wolf blood---a hybrid blood.”“I now wish that those words of welcome and vote of confidence will help me stop my mother from shredding me.”Max took a couple of steps inadvertently backwards because her mother is slowly advancing. Teresa was taking her time. Giving Max all the time in the wold to call on that power she had displayed yesterday. In real battles, such things do not take place. Fighting is a swift and often unbelievable. Wolves have the agility and the speed of lightning. Sometimes, faster than the blink of an eye. “What are you waiting for, Max? Waiting for the grass to grow? I will not hesitate to hurt you.”“Max. You can do this. You did this yesterday.” Hera was more friendly now. For Max, every one seemed to be testing her patience. Whether they were doing this for her t
I am Fenrir , some may have known me from my father’s wonderful reputation. But that was a long time ago. I have proved everyone that I was not my father and that his beliefs were not mine. My father, Loki, was a harsh God. He punishes everyone that comes in between what he wants and what he thinks was best, not for the greater many, but mainly for himself. He had lived for a long time and he did many nit so great things that we, my sister and I, Hel, was not very fond and proud of. Yes, my father was a bastard of a God and I have killed him out of my love for the wolves that was under our care. These wolves lead a peaceful lives before they were turned. I led a revolt. A movement to release every imprisoned wolf because my father was petty. I am a wolf. My mother was a wolf goddess and my father took a fancy on her. Hel, was his child from a goddess in Athens. Loki was a playboy and he was loving it. But, he waa careful not to spread his seeds too far. Oy two offsprings. He was n
Borris LaRue was among the spectators. Unlike the rest who fancied being noticed at all times like the insufferable Manny Raven,he liked to stay on the sidelines. He valued his privacy and loved lurking in the dark, away from the crowd because that was where you can observe best. Personally, he did not like hanging out with them. He liked watching the kid in the shadows. Like when they first came in Haven. It was amazing how much a little untraceable potion from one of the underrated healers can do. No one managed to rack his scent when he was always there watching. The healer got a hefty compensation from him and promised to keep her mouth shut and also would love to do more businesses with him in the future. He dislike those type of wolves, so cunning and think of themselves as wise. He might come back again and maybe kill the healer. He did not trust easy. If there was one thing that gave him enough reason to be out in the open like this--was to see Teresa in action again. It had
Fun fact about grandmothers. We work hard on disciplining our children so that they turn out to be responsible and awesome adults and so when the time comes that they become parents themselves, we slowly transition from one strict parent to an overly indulging grand parent. Congratulations! You are now officially the person who will spoil the kids and fight with parents. Betty was never given the chance to be with her only granddaughter since she was born. There were rarely a night that she craved to be in that same bedroom, cradling her newborn granddaughter. She was desperate during the early weeks of grandmotherhood. She had the urge to call Teresa now and then to check if she was near labor. The only call she gets was once a moth and it was just mandatory checking-in-to-see-if -we-are-both-alive calls.It was not until that October night , mid week, that Teresa called her twice that month and it meant only one thing.Labor.“Mom.” Teresa’s raspy voice was heard on the end of t
Teresa was in a very compromised situation and if Max will not be stopped, whatever she will do, one thing is for sure, Teresa will be a goner. She was sprawled in the ground, fur matted on the shoulder because of blood pooling in that area and Max was about to give her another deadly claw. The claws shimmer in the daylight. It looked too sharp and could flawlessly slice thin paper. “Max, it is time to stop. Max!” Hera roared.Max stopped. It was her wake up call. Bless Hera!Everyone was on the edge of their seats. Waiting...“Oh!” Betty screamed in relief.For a moment, Max was disoriented, her body felt like it was not hers to control. And then she looked down, her mother was down and bleeding and slowly transforming back into her human form. The healers from the shack are now headed in their direction. Some went to Hesther and others to Zayn who were both passed out. “Slowly. Transform yourself back, you have proven your point,girl.” Hera once again calmly suggested. Her voice
Max’s POVI kind of drifted off to dreamland after that revelation. Hera agreed with what I have done and congratulated me for growing a spine over night. She said that took guts and hell of a determination. I say, that was caused by getting tired of people's shit and maneuvering all the time. When I woke up, I saw Elsa waiting, seated patiently at the couch beside my bed. I was not in the infirmary. Great.Then, it flooded in. The gore details of a battle. Between me and my mom. Where was mom?“Oh, shit.” I tried to sit upright, but was still lightheaded and fell back on the bed. Elsa came to my aid.“It’s alright, Miss Teresa is fine. She’s got he best healer pretty booked today.” I raked my mind for that best healer they keep on talking about,yes, it was Minerva. Minerva Jones was a legend over here. If she is with the best healer. Then , she had been worse. I have to see it for myself. “Where is she?” “In the next room. I know this would happen so I insisted to keep you guys
“You drool.” Hera whispered even if I knew that no one can hear her. “Hey.”“Max, I am telling you now, that boy is mighty fine.”“I know.” Max was still absentmindedly staring at the door where Zayn stood. She had been smiling like an idiot for a long time and none really cared to wake her up from whatever hallucinations she was under right now. She had met Zayn at Haven High School for days now and even went to the training arena a couple of times now and she felt really stupid for not noticing what a fine specie of human slash wolf he was. Looking good like that should be illegal. “Is she alright?” Zayn asked Elsa when he saw my blank as a blank canvass face.“Right, she is, are you not, miss?”“Better, never been better.”Elsa had to cough to ease the hanging silence. Max was nervously pleating and repleating the neatly folded infirmary blanket out of tension. Zayn still stood there, he was waiting for something or wanting to say something, Elsa and Max surely have both no ide
Quentin and Betty went to see Cassie. The hidden daughter of the Black Alpha plays a very important role in this prophecy. Cassie could not even know how or when or where to begin to express the joy that she felt seeing her god mother. It had been ages and now, that Betty Shepard was in her house, she feels elated and in a state of euphoria. The two had always been close and had always shared admiration to one another. Teresa and Cassie were good friends also. “Oh! Oh! Father, is this true?” Cassie even rubbed her eyes to see if this was not an apparition.“Pinch her wrinkly face.” Quentin suggested jokingly. Betty slapped Quentin on the arm for saying that. “Oh, darling! It had been years since I last saw you since your father decided that you are too good for the world and look who is talking, mister wrinkle free. "“Do not start, Beatriz.”" Old man, you started it. " Winking at Cassie who cannot remove the smile from her pretty face. It had been a while since she had real visito
