MARCUS P.O.VIt took over an hour before we arrived at the city on Catalina Island. Everyone was having fun as usual. It was unlike what I expected. I expected to hear rumours flying around about the riotous sounds coming from the mountains but from what I can see, it’s evident that the sounds of chaos never crossed to this territory.“We are pretty lucky,” Ronald voiced the thought in my mind. “I can’t imagine what would have happened if they all heard those aggressive and riotous battles which occurred last night.”“Sure,” I said, then looked down at our feet. “Come, we have to change these shoes,” I said. I took them to a cloth shop on the island and I bought a change of dress and also new pairs of shoes for myself and the both of them.We freshened up in a hotel, changed our outfit and afterwards we left to the shore to book a ship heading to California. Luckily there were a few reserved seats so we took the ride. As estimated, it was going to take us an hour before we arrived on

MARCUS P.O.VIt was a long ride but finally we arrived at Los Angeles. It felt good to tread on new grounds but it was also terrible to know nothing about the beings that might exist here and if they were friendly or not. However I would rather prefer that Los Angelis was free of any shape-shifters or beings alike.“Marcus, we should get going if you don’t want me to change my mind,” Wilfred said.“I know, hold on let me check the GPS so that we can know which way to go,” I replied, taking out my android phone as I turned it on.“Wait, are you being serious right now. Are you telling me that you have no idea where we are headed before bringing us on this insane trip?”“Calm down Wilfred, this is also my first time treading on these grounds,” I answered.“You have not been here before, not even once?” he exclaimed but thankfully his voice didn’t draw attention since the wind was boisterous.“Come on, what’s the noise all about?” Ronald asked, walking up to us with a little bag pack he

MARCUS P.O.VFinally this was it. I am finally close to either running my entry life or saving myself from a lifetime of guilt."What are you waiting for?" Wilfred said. I looked at him and then I pressed the doorbell. We waited for a while but there was no response."Marcus, are you sure this is the right place?" Ronald asked."Yes, I am," I replied. I rang the doorbell a second time but still there was no feedback."We should just go," Wilfred said."No, let's try again," I said and just when I was about to press the button the third time the door opened up and standing before us was an old lady with grey hair.I expected Daniel's mother to be old but not as old as the woman standing right before my face. "Hello… How can I help you?" The woman asked."Sorry for disturbing your peace. Are you Mrs Smith, the son of Daniel Smith?" I asked.He furrowed her eyebrows as the wrinkles in her face got thicker. "Yes, I am," She replied.My heart skipped at her response. I could tell that Ron

ALICIA’S P.O.VThe pain of losing a child was terrible and it wasn’t something a parent would wish for. I couldn’t understand the level of pain the old lady was going through but could only imagine it. Even right now I feel sorry and indebted to her.The dark cloud had already covered the sky when Meredith escorted us out of the house. She wrapped her blanket around her body to protect her from the cold breeze and by the time we arrived at our car she looked down at Maxwell. “Thank you for showing me what you showed me earlier. It felt good to see her face again,” she said to him.“You are welcome ma’am. I know you needed it,” Maxwell replied.Hearing that got me curious but I guessed it was best that I don’t ask. I was okay as long as whatever he showed Meredith made her see things differently.“Guys, I think we have company,” Ronald alarmed us. I looked to see who he was speaking of and from the distance I saw a young man approaching with a bottle of drink in his hand.“Daniel... Ma

MARCUS P.O.VI walked inside the building while holding Alicia’s hand. The hall was filled up with both humans and werewolves as rock music filled the air. There was no strange pack present; I made sure that the sentinels never allowed any werewolf from another tribe to venture into the island.Everything was coordinated just like it should be and I trusted my pack to be great at blending in with the humans without causing any arousal, and that was all thanks to my late parents who taught them well.“Marcus, look who showed up,” Alicia said. I looked only to see that it was Katherine. I saw the excitement over Alicia’s face.“Will she be a burden to you?” I asked.“Are you kidding me,” Alicia said with a frown on her face.“Sorry, I was only joking, go on, go and have fun with your friend, I will keep an eye on things,” I said to her.“Okay, please watch Max but don’t spy on him,” she said.“Yes ma’am, but you know that they both mean the same thing…” I was yet to complete my statemen
