Chapter 38: Prince of Arcadia (Part 1)
The hair on my arms perched up when the cold wind blew. The long pants and thick coat I'm wearing doesn't really help me warming myself. I hugged myself tightly, the side of my mouth moving upwards as I swing back and forth on my seat. I'm really not a fan of cold season but somehow, I felt refreshed when I felt the coldness in the wind.
It was a peaceful day on Orion. So as for me. How long has it been since I've enjoyed my day off like this? Sitting peacefully in a bench, watching the people pass by as I admire the town of Orion, place of amazing and different kinds of people.
When I arrive here five years ago, I didn't have the chance to spend my days like this. I had to work almost 24 hours everyday just to have a roof above my head, food on my plate and money to pay my bills. Not until I met Peter in the cafe. I've known him since I was little. He used to go to the foster home, just like Justin. He gave me a spot in his cafe, pay me a good amount of

Controlling my temper has always been the biggest challenge ever since I was little. I mean, literally.I had to always keep my emotions and temper in check. I would literally snap at every single thing, especially if that thing belongs to me. Food, clothes, toys and even the people I like.I had this belief that whatever is mine, should not be touch by anyone except me. That's how it's always been.But these past couple of days has been the hardest. Everyday is like a battle between me and the monstrous beast inside of me. A war between good and evil. Between desires and rationality. Between my human and lycanthrope form.And now, that battle has become worst ever since I met Austin. Everyday, I want to be with her. I need to be next to her every single minute. I feel like I would suffocate every second she's not with me. She's like the air I breathe and the water I need to satisfy my thirst.She's the very reason I need to live. The

"WHAT!? You actually did say yes!? Why would you do that? Are you completely out of your mind?" Grey exclaimed, grabbing me tightly by my shoulders as he frown real hard, his face looks so ugly."Hold on, will you!?" I said and threw his arms off my shoulder as I remove invisible dirt on my clothes and fixes my clothes he accidentally crumpled. "For the record, I didn't actually said yes. I said... I'll think about it." my eyes instantly shifted, as if I did something wrong.Did I? I mean, there's nothing in going back home."You barely know that guy, why would you trust his words!?" Grey said, almost shouting at me as if I am his child who needs an earful and strong scolding. "In fact, you've been making a fuss about wanting to beat him to pulp just the other day, and now you want to go with him!?" Grey scoffed, violently brushing his fingers to his hair. "Who knows maybe he was just messing around with us! with you!"When Winter was talkin

Life is full of surprises. That's what I have learned in my 20-years of existence. Indeed, it is true.Meeting Shaun is one of those surprises. It was just a normal day for me, a normal routine. Going to Crescent Moon's library, I mean. It was just a part of my everyday life here in Orion. Nothing more, nothing less. But I didn't expect it to bring me something more. Something so unexpected.He came in my life like a comet. Without warnings, without signals, he came in just like that. And he messed my life, honestly. He made me lose control of myself, he made me doubt my own principles and behavior, my rude attitude. He made me want to know the people around me. He made me want to change, for the better.He messed everything about me. I mean, he messed it up in a good way. He really shuffled it hard.But along the way, he brought out something in me that even I, don't know myself. Warmth, happiness, longing, hope and most especially, he made
Through Love and Instinct Chapter 42: Phases of Lycaea
I really can't understand that stupid lycanthrope. How can he trust that man easily after making a fuss about wanting to crashed him just a few days ago? How can he go back home despite dad telling us that we should not go back not until he come for us?I was known as the calmest one in our previous pack, but Shaun's stupidity and recklessness can really put me on the edge without me even knowing.And what the hell am I doing here with this jerk?I looked at him in the side of my eyes, he was just calmly sitting there with his arms and legs crossed. Tch. Just look at how arrogant this bastard could be. But he almost runway with a tail between his legs when he saw me yesterday. Now, he has the guts to act like that? Ha!I was so angry hearing from Shaun what this man told him that I rushed out looking for him but when I saw him, I don't know what to say anymore. I have so many things I want to say and ask but every time I see his face, my blo

"I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again.."I heard it again. And it keeps on repeating and repeating and repeating nonstop. I guess it will keep on going until the day of our departure. I just laughed and ruffled his hair, "you've been singing that same line for over a thousand of times already. Aren't you tired?" I said, my shoulders going up and down holding my laughter.He really looks so adorable when he's excited and happy like this. I could feel my heart racing with happiness whenever I see him this happy and relaxed. He looks at me with his child-like smile plastered on his face, "I'm just excited. You know, I don't need to force or beg Grey and Justin to come because they willingly agreed to come to Greece. That means.. you will be going too!" he jumped as he grabbed my hands and shakes it like he won in a lottery.I patted his hands and smiled at him as I slowly intertwined our hands. Shaun is really like the spring

Two things actually blown my mind away. It was a massive shock to my existence. I'm both happy and terrified, to be honest. I don't really know what to feel. First, I tried telling Justin about Shaun and Grey. About how these two are actually lycanthrope. I didn't even get enough rest and sleep just by thinking about how the hell can I tell her about it. I had almost a hundred ways to tell her. I could just literally blurt it out, or I could just show her. Maybe I could lend her the book Grey gave me and let her realize it herself, but no concrete plan about the whole damn thing. I'm really screwed.So, yeah. I called her early in the morning, told her we need to see each other as soon as possible, blah blah blah. I also told her that I need to tell her something and that she should not think of me as a crazy wench with nonsense only coming out from my mouth.My heart was pounding real hard that time, I thought it would go out from my

This is it! Today is the day.Winter remind us that we should gathered up after the sun sets. I already packed my things up and said my farewell to Peter who almost jumped because of excitement for our trip and had this giggly expression on his face. He kept on teasing me while I walked away with Shaun on my side. He looks like a mom who's getting excited for her daughter's first date.That kind of thing. I can't do anything but laugh.My heart swelled with unexplainable excitement and fear as I pulled my luggage with me. Every step that I took felt so frightening and exciting. It feels like there's a whole band inside of me, playing some rock and roll songs. With a little blues on the side.After running away five years ago, this is the first time I will be setting a foot outside the place who gave me the chance to live again after series of heartbreaks and rejections. The town I have already considered as my home.Somehow
Through Love and Instinct Chapter 46: Tyler
"My lord, it's time," my servant said, handing me a bow and an arrow.I gently put the arrow on the bow and pulled the strings hard until I can't pulled it anymore. I took a deep breath and calm myself as I focus in the target in front of me. One wrong move could threaten it and it would run away as fast as it can. I need to be careful and quiet.I steady my arms and calm my nerves. For one last time, I took a deep breath and release the arrow on my bow.I could hear the whimper of the poor animal as my arrow pierce into it deeply. Its blood spilling everywhere it looks like some kind of cruel and bloody battle field. My mouth slowly moves upwards as I looked at the distance dead animal.I gave my bow and arrow to my servant and walked towards the moose deer as I kneel down, pressing the dead animal."This would be enough for the incoming feast." I muttered and picked up the moose deer, putting it on my shoulder.
