Shirley untangled herself from him before replying, "that was why I was about to go in search of you, I found her curled up in her closet but she refused to open her eyes or say anything to me," Shirley said then she pointed to the closet where Amelia was. "Zane, please whatever you want to do to shake her out of her daze, do so quietly and quickly, we need to leave as soon as possible. I think they have sensed our presence and they would barge in here anytime soon, so we need to leave as soon as possible," Shirley said to him, when she heard footsteps outside. Zane nodded his head in response then he walked towards the closet where Amelia was. He shook her violently and said, "Amelia get up now, we need to leave immediately, if we do not leave now, we would be in huge trouble," Zane said. He was about to shake her some more when she opened her eyes. "Zane? When did you get in here?" Amelia asked quietly. "Zane, Amelia!!" Shirley called out in panic.

Liam gracefully came down from the stage then he signalled to Zane to address the crowd.Zane nodded at Liam, then he bowed his head at the crowd to show his gratitude. When he lifted up his head, he said to them, "thank you all for accepting to fight even when it is not your battle, I promise to repay this debt for the rest of my life."Shirley slithered her way from Amelia's side and walked towards the direction where her brother was standing, "what are you putting down?" She asked him when she got to where he was standing and noticed that he was jotting something on a notepad."Nice to see you too sister, how are you doing?" Ace replied with a smirk."I would have said that I am doing alright but you already know the situation we are in. Thanks for deciding to join us even when you are not obligated to, I really appreciate. So tell me, what are you putting down on your notepad?" Shirley repeated her earlier question."I thought you would have ch

When Shirley got back to where the wolves were gathered she met them pacing around anxiously, they were probably waiting for the go ahead command. She smiled just to reassure herself that everything is going to be alright."Very well then, you guys can shift now, we would leave immediately we are done," Zane called out to them when he noticed how angstful they were. As if they have been waiting for his order all their lives, they immediately starting shifting without wasting any more time.Shirley watched with wide eyes as they started stripping off their clothes without a care in the world, they look so strong and confident in their naked state, something that she was not sure she would ever be. She has never been confident enough to walk around naked like the other wolves do. She quickly diverted her gaze and moved to another place when she made eye contact with a naked man. She watched in awe as humans began to change to their furred forms transform into full grown

Shirley was surprised that the trees were still burning though it had calmed to a gentle smoke. She frowned when she looked around but she did not find Zane anywhere around. It was unlike him not to be close by when she was unconscious, he was always around."What are you looking for?" Ace asked Shirley calmly already knowing who she was looking for."Zane? Where is he, I can't find him anywhere around," Shirley replied looking around in panic.Ace sighed sorrowfully, avoiding her gaze, "let us leave here for now, you medical help and you need to rest. I will tell you all about when you get yourself cleaned up, you stink more than me you know," Ace said trying to lighten the mood."You know me already Ace, I will not leave here until you bring Zane to me, you all can go ahead without me, I will wait here until he comes for me," Shirley replied."Stop being stubborn Shirl, we have to get your wounds treated before it gets infected, I can see how muc

                               SHIRLEY'S POVTwo weeks after that incidence, I woke up very early in the morning unlike other days. I took my bathe and went down to join Liam's and Ace's table for breakfast when it was time to eat. As I walked into the dining, I could see the surprise and pity on the faces of all the wolves there though they tried to mask it with a smile. They looked at me with so much pity in their faces....I hate been pitied, it made me want to cry over my situation every damn time and crying was something I wasn't going to do anymore. Today marked the beginning of the day that I was going to keep the promise I made to myself two weeks ago; I would not mourn for someone who is still alive because mourning and crying for him would mean I am affirming the fact that he is gone.. forever. The pity on their faces w
