Veronica trudged on in the forest, limping on her injured leg as she still felt pain in it, which made her journey slower than it would have been. Not that she had a particular destination in mind, but she just kept moving, hoping that luck would smile on her and she would find a place to rest for the night before it got darker.
As she kept wandering around in the forest, she noticed something familiar.
“Why does this place look so familiar? I thought I had passed this tree before now. Are all the trees now looking the same?” She asked herself as she looked around to be sure that she wasn't right.
“No, it can't be. They all just look alike. It's the forest, so the trees are bound to look alike.” She said again as she kept going.
After walking for almost twenty minutes, she saw the familiar big tree again.
“No way, what could be going on? Am I seeing
As Veronica fell to the ground, her vision became blurry, and before she knew what was going on, complete darkness had enveloped her. The last thing she remembered was the sharp pain shooting through her leg after she stumbled and fell, before everything faded to black.It was very early in the morning when she finally began to regain consciousness, and everywhere around was still a bit dark. A pounding ache pulsed through her head. The air in the cave was musty and thick with the scent of old particles and decay. Slowly, she began to open her eyes, to find herself in a dimly lit cave. As her eyes adjusted to the dim light, and became wide open, she began to look around, wondering where she was and how she got there. “Where am I?” She asked herself. As she looked around, she noticed that the walls of the cave were rough and uneven, it was a very old cave. Also, the silence in there was so deafening, it was broken only by the sound of her own ragged breathing.“Arrggghhhh! My head h
“What is that now?” She muttered under her breath as she remained on the same spot.She heard the sound again and this time it sounded like something or someone ran past her, behind her in a flash. Scared and holding her breath, she slowly turned around but saw nothing.Her heart began to pound in her chest as she stumbled through the dense forest, her breath coming in ragged gasps. The memory of the wolf's failed attempt to attack her flashed through her mind. She had narrowly escaped being killed by the wolf and then hunger had gnawed at her stomach but now, fear clawed at her mind.“What could be lurking in the bushes?” She thought to herself once again as her eyes scanned the area once again for anything familiar or unfamiliar but there was nothing but silence.“Maybe it was my imagination. It may be that I was hallucinating.” She said to herself as she tried to shake off the thought of the sounds that she had just heard in the bushes.She then decided to con
SILVER MIST PACKThe Silver mist pack bustled with festivities, the people were gathered together, eating, drinking, laughing and jesting. It was a beautiful sight to behold, the atmosphere was a beautiful one too. It was obvious, everyone was happy because at long last, the Alpha King finally had a child to call theirs after so many years of waiting. Although, it wasn't a male pup as the people thought it would be, but whether male or female, a child will always be a child. The dancers danced as loud music was blasting through the speakers and the people moved their bodies to the rhythm while cheering the dancers who danced tirelessly. Wolves from different parts of the pack trooped in, in their hundreds and thousands, to felicitate with the Alpha and Luna. Some were truly happy while some came to see if it was true that the Luna had finally given the Alpha, a child. Murmurs could be heard from different corners but no one dared to speak ill, out loud, of the Alpha's family. It wa
EIGHTEEN YEARS LATER(SUN CREST PACK)“Beck, where are we going?” Veronica asked, feeling tired already, “We've been walking for hours now, and the full moon festival is about to start.”“We're almost there, it's not really far anymore.” He said, still walking further into the woods.They kept walking for twenty more minutes until he stopped walking and turned to look at her, who was already exhausted, “Is this where…where we are going?” She stuttered.“Well, I don't know.” He responded.“What? What do you mean you don't know? We've been walking for an hour and a half, and you're saying you don't know where we are going?” She said, almost screaming.“ Well, I mean, yes.” He finally answered.“You are really something, so what are we doing here?” Veronica asked him.“ You know I love you, right? And I will always love you.” He began.“ Yes, I do, and I love you too, but that doesn't give enough explanation for us to be out in the woods this late.” She said, looking around.He didn't sa
Veronica didn't know what to call the emotions she was feeling towards Beck at that moment. She was mad at him, she was sad about the things he said to her. She also wanted to go and help him with the pain, but at the same time, she just wanted him to suffer more pain than she was feeling.Instead of using the front door, she went through the back door because of the other omegas that hadn't left for the Moon festival and Kiera. “If they saw me like this, they would make me explain what had happened.” She thought to herself as she sneaked in through the back door.She thought about it for a while and decided to go back into the woods. The pain of the mate bond was killing her, so she couldn't think well. She didn't want anyone to see her like that, so she ran into the nearest woods.Not thinking straight, she kept running in whatever direction her legs took her. She didn't know for how long she was running until she came to a stop after hearing a growl coming from the woods.At first
"The pain of the broken mate bond is tougher than I thought," Beck said to himself.He tried standing up but fell almost immediately, “I am going to be the Alpha of this pack in less than three days, I can't be this weak because of a broken mate bond.” He told himself as he began to try to get up again.He forced himself to stand up and sucked in the pain. He took a couple of steps and almost fell down but held on to the nearest tree he could touch.The walk to the pack house was quite far because he had to get Veronica to a place where no one would see or hear him rejecting her and now it had blown back in his face, because he had to walk a very long journey before he could get back to the pack house.He endured the pain throughout the walk and began thinking of how his Father and Blue, his sister, would react to what he had just done. Well, his father would most definitely have nothing to say, while Blue, his little sister, on the other hand, would be so glad. She didn't like Veroni
Pain, that was the first thing Veronica made sense of. “Ouch! My head hurts, what happened?” She asked no one in particular.She tried lifting her right hand to touch her forehead but noticed that she couldn't feel her arm.“ What's this? I can't feel my arm. Come to think of it, I can't feel my body, I can't feel anything, except for the pain in my head.” She thought to herself as different conversations kept flooding her mind.“ Did I hit my head hard on the floor when I fell?” Was I supposed to feel pain when I lost my mortal body?” She asked herself, with the lowest voice possible, making it impossible for anyone to hear her, except for the movements on her lips.She tried to open her eyes but her vision was blurry, but after a couple more blinks, she could see clearly. She noticed the white ceiling and then looked around the room. It was painted in white and yellow, with the yellow shining almost brighter than the sun and the white, as snow.“ The afterworld sure is beautiful. Ve
It had now been a week since Beck rejected Veronica and no one knew about it except her, Beck and Kiera. Kiera wanted to confront Beck about it, but Veronica begged her not to because he didn't know that she knew about it.“ Wow, what a lovely day to sleep and not wake up for a while,” Kiera said, looking up at the sky, as they passed by the children's park.“ What do you mean by that? Don't ever say that, please. If you go, who would I talk to or where would I find anyone who would listen to me complain about everything all day long?” Veronica snapped at her.“ Relax Vee, I'm not going anywhere, at least, not anytime soon, silly,” Kiera said, laughing. “It was just a harmless joke.”“A harmless joke? Really? Who jokes with something as serious as death?” Veronica snapped at her again.“Hey, chill. I never said anything about dying.” Kiera replied.“To sleep and not wake up means what?” Veronica asked her, obviously angry.
