REID:I completely back away from the door, keeping my guard up as I fix my focus on it. Why can’t today just be an absolutely normal day for me?‘Are we safe? Am I safe?’ I ask Bryan who hasn’t said a word since he instructed me from moving further to the entrance.‘I don’t know,’ is his panicky response which is starting to affect me as well. ‘What I do know is that we are surrounded by something that is out of the ordinary which is why you need to be extra careful right at this moment,’A knock on the door again. And then another. And then another. This sure doesn’t look good.The scent has completely been masked now. No way to figure out if it is someone or just a thing out there.The instance a knock comes through again, I ask Bryan using my voice, “Don’t you think we need to make a run from this?”‘And risk your safety?’“So you mean I should stay in here all day while some maniac out there continues to taunt me? Is that what you want me to do?”Bryan scoffs. ‘Put down your ego,

KIRA:“Why not?” Bradley, who seems rather enthusiastic about the annoying thought he just laid down, asks.I lash out in return, “Because that’s so stupid to even think of. Pretty much stupid that you could even say it to me. Why would I want to be mated to someone from our rival pack? And on top of that, the leader,”“But I don’t see anything wrong with it,” he says as he attempts to defend himself. “If you think about it, it works well. Alpha Reid is a young alpha without a wolf and you, you are a young female wolfling. A good idea I must say,”His enthusiasm was the most annoying thing out of everything he was doing or saying at the moment. It was the reason I was getting more and more infuriated from hearing him speak. And trust me, it was pushing me to hit him square in the face.“Do you know what you’re saying? Are you even listening to yourself at all?” I have to ask. And at the same time, I start to shift away from him again. I guess he was not totally in his right senses tod

REID:“Do you think it even makes sense?” Hunter asks once we got outside the shapeless structure of a building. “Why would he instruct us to settle the rivalry we have with the Green Dales pack? You know it’s not going to be possible,”“We might need to push sentiments aside and focus on whether or not we will be able to get it done,” I respond to him, seeing him all ready to flare up at nothing. “If you listened to the Elder, he made it known to us that it is the only possible solution to our predicament. So are we now going to focus on a so-called rivalry or the solution?”He still looks skeptical even though I tried my best to make him see through the issue. “I don’t know, Reid,” he says. “It still makes little to no sense to me. I don’t see why there cannot be another solution. Why must it have to be this one?”Before I could say anything to him, we sight someone fast approaching us. It looked like we were about to be lunged at which is why I quickly put my guard up.A closer vie

KIRA:“You know what? It’s about time you tell me what I truly am. I’m sick of you always coming at me with that and yet you end up saying nothing. If you’ve got something to say, you had better tell me now, or else I’ll advise you stop with the drama!”I let everything out in one breath. And immediately after that, I felt exhausted. But I would say it was worth it because he needed to hear me vent out my frustration about him always telling me shit about me but never at all mentioning what it is.What further infuriates me about this is that despite that I just worded him, nothing changed about his expression. He even looks more of a creep now for maintaining that annoying smirk of his after my outburst.Then the next thing after that is him touching his hair almost too seductively for me. What is he trying to do now? Is he trying to flirt with me just after I let him know my frustration? This guy is indeed a freak.He puts his hand down from his hair and then takes a step forward to

KIRA:“This doesn’t make sense,” Bradley says as he runs his hand through his hair, looking entirely confused. “Didn’t you say for yourself that you’re just sixteen? You did. This means you can’t have a spirit wolf just yet. So make me understand what is going on here,”I respond instantly, “But you asked me if I actually did have one then? I thought you must have an idea by asking that,”“I was only teasing you. Even when you gave me the reaction that would make anyone else believe that you have something to hide, I didn’t think of anything other than you shying away because you didn’t have your clothes on when I first approached you. Trust me, I had nothing about the spirit wolf idea in mind,”Now, this is messed up. Here I was thinking it would be easy to get him to understand my current identity but it seems I thought too much about itHe asked me the day in the woods if I did have one and I denied it. Who knew it was just a simple intuition to try to mess around with me. Gosh, I
