SETH: We ventured into the dark tunnel, my hand entwined with Zannicus'. Slowly, shadows began to dance from the torches flickering as we turned a corner giving way to light. Six guards flanked us as I glamced at a quiet Zannie, his eyes displaying an illusion of dancing flames, who seemed to deep in thoughts. "You okay?" I quirked a brow as my question went unheard, "Zannicus? Are you alright?" He shook his head, "Hm? Oh, yes. Fine." Unconvinced, I moved to speak but the overwhelming smell of burnt timber invaded our senses so I forced myself to look ahead as brighter lights slowly filtered into the whole place and the cells filled with rogues came in view. Wild, glowing red eyes- void of any human aspects but pure primal instincts -followed us as we walked, the rest rousing awake from the echo our footsteps slapping on the floor. Only a couple of rogues who still possess their human faculties were enclosed in one cell. Both were looking intently at Zannicus with their beady eyes
RONAN: The guys and I were talking with the warriors about updates at my mother's old pack. Rogues kept attacking them to the point that they barely slept since they arrived. The front door flew open and a loud bang echoed through the whole house that had us jumping, with Gabe flinching and cursing once we recognized our guest, Nicholai Roman. And what I know of, Zannicus' best friend. He stood at the center of the living room looking in the direction of the kitchen. The sound of hurried footsteps had us turning just as Zannicus appeared, exchanging grins with Roman to which a tiny bit of jealousy surged within me. Next thing I know, Zannicus was in his arms as they hugged each other tightly. I growled lowly under my breath as I glared at the arms that were around Zannicus and Isaac noticed this, 'Wait, no. I don't have the right.' "Why did you reject Zannicus?" Sh*t. Sh*sh*tsh*tsh*t! Someone murder me now. The sight of his eyes darkening at every moment that passed without me
It was currently a quarter to one. After that delightful dinner, we retired to our rooms with Francis insisting on cleaning up before going home. After a quick shower, I stared up at my ceiling, still clad in a towel thinking about Zannicus. 'Is he all right? He must be asleep by now. Should I check on him?' Even though he might be asleep, I'll just take a quick look. I quietly stepped out into the hallway right after changing. Ensuring the coast was clear, I made my way downstairs and breezed quietly through the dim living room and kitchen and avoided the creaky steps leading down to Zannie's room. Slowly, I pushed his door open and craned my head to the right, only to find his bed, still made, empty. Alarmed, I barged through, about to call his name when I stepped on something soft. 'Wha-? Shorts and shirts?' And another pair, I noticed, 'And why is it so cold in here??' The answer to my last question was answered by a chilly breeze due to open window. Oh no. What if there wer
UNKNOWN: "WHAT?!!" The man abruptly stood up, the sudden movement forcing the chair to fall. The two wolves flinched at the loud bang it produced before forcing themselves to look back at their leader. "Are you sure??" The man sneered dangerously eliciting a shiver from the wolves. "Yes Alpha. We saw it with our own eyes. He found out." "How?!" "He followed them back to his room. Zannicus told him everything." The man roared in anger as he flipped the table aside, shattering it to pieces as it hit the wall. "The beta knowing was not part of the plan! He was supposed to die in that ambush! That f*cking omega wasn't supposed to be there." He sighed as he turned, his back facing the two trembling wolves. "What do we do Sir?" "Just watch them. The beta is interested in Zannicus. That much I know. Report everything back to me, everything they do." "Yes alpha." They said in unison. And with that, they turned and shifted leaving the man. "Looks like I'll have to add another player
ZANNICUS: I was still in the kitchen scrubbing the pan I used for the bacon. Everyone else had already left for training. I guess they're going to that clearing in the east. The pack members will ask what the training is for if they saw them training in the backyard so I guess its best if they don't know. We wouldn't want to cause an alarm. I was humming a song when I felt a sting of pain flash through my body eliciting a sharp gasp from me. But it was gone the moment it came. I shrugged it off and resumed my task when it came again but it remained for a few seconds longer making me pant and bend over the sink, almost dropping the pan. 'What the-' I nearly jumped out my skin when a hand gripped my hip and the pain came back but it was accompanied by an electrifying sensation right on where the hand was. I gripped the sponge as I hissed. Short pants came out of my mouth and I felt a hot breath on my ear, "Someone likes the touch," My blood ran cold upon hearing that voice. I coul
RONAN: "Okay again!" I shouted at one pair who seemed out of it as they kept tumbling at each other. 'My gosh. What happened? Are they drunk?' I thought, scrunching my face in horror as they tripped over each other's feet failing to execute the move I instructed for them to do. Seth jogged up to me, mirroring my expression, "Good Goddess. What happened to our warriors? Their bodies are like jello. They look ridiculous!" "I know." I said, annoyed as the pair I was watching turned themselves into a pretzel. I felt myself deflate as I gawked at them. Francis walked up to me, "We're so out of practice. I didn't realize that it was this bad. They can't even do the basics anymore." We watched in growing horror as they tumbled down to the ground, unable to support even their own weights! "We need more wolves, and a teacher, someone who's good." Gabe spoke as he patted himself with a towel. I didn't even realize that he was standing behind me. "But who?" Seth frowned, "All our best warr
Silence engulfed the whole forest as I continued to stare at Francis with a blank face. The only sounds that were heard are the chirping of birds and the rustling of leaves as the wind blew. Gabe was the first to break the silence, "Zannicus....?" "Why?" I asked and they looked at each other first before turning their attention back to me. "We need more wolves." Francis said as I cocked a brow, "And another teacher." "Why me? There are plenty of others who fit the position of being a warrior and a teacher What makes you think I can fight? And who suggested that I should train with you?" "Because I've never met anyone who's as strong as you Zannicus. And also because I saw the way you flipped one of Dylan's friends. You twisted his wrist then you grabbed his neck and threw him over your shoulder. Its obvious you either trained yourself or someone trained you. And I'm the one who suggested it." Gabe finished but I just stared in contemplation while they began to shift. Though, I wa
ZANNICUS: When we arrived at the house, the pack rather, everyone zoomed into their homes and upstairs to no doubt do the tasks I assigned to them. It was four twenty eight so I went directly to the kitchen. Seth's sudden appearance surprised me as he grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge. The event that transpired here hours ago left me on high alert as I felt Seth leaned back against the counter. "So, what was your decision?" I raised my brows in question, "Are you gonna train with us?" I nodded and turned back hearing him sigh quietly, "Yeah, starting tomorrow." "Are you sure you'll be fine?" I smiled feeling my heart flutter at the sound of concern behind those words. "Of course. I can handle myself Seth, don't worry." "Mmm. Okay then. I trust you. Besides, you can definitely handle yourself knowing who you are now." He said as I felt him coming closer to whisper the last part. He continued until he was right beside me. I looked at him as he peered down at me. "But if
