Elina's Point of ViewMy head continued to bounce as I slowly opened my eyes to locate myself. It felt like a big stone was slamming into my brow. My eyesight was blurry, and I felt terrible for putting my innocent body through so much drinking. The light streaming in through the window aggravated my situation. The light was shining straight into my eyes, which was very uncomfortable. The more I looked in that direction, the more my eyesight became blurry. "So, what the fuck am I doing here?" I wobbled as I walked away from the light because it was useless. I went back to my bed and threw my damn body on the bed like a punching bag, without mercy. I discovered a plastic water can beside me. I took it, drank a little, and then poured the remainder on my head. I didn't bother that the bed was soaked.After a few minutes, I started to piece together what had happened in the previous 24 hours. My family and I had come for our annual pack gathering in preparation for me to become the ne

Eight months later, There were a lot of women in the same hospital room I was in. I saw a lot of people come visit their loved ones that had recently been put to bed; there were ripples of excitement all over them. Loved ones came and took away the pains the woman went through while giving birth. Loved ones came to appreciate the mother and the child; unfortunately, no one came for me; no loved one visited me; no one cared about me and my son; they all abandoned me even though I am a first-time mom. How can a family abandon their own child over falling into pregnancy with someone who isn't her mate? What sort of stupid tradition is this? I feel so lonely; my world is crumbling apart. Even the woman opposite me told me her partner abandoned her; her parents took her in and took good care of her. The hospital workers, especially the midwives, showed no mercy to me. They all treated me less. I was able to get a few things before my delivery with the money I saved from my father. "Don

At 5 p.m. in the evening, the atmosphere became more still like a void planet, then a thunderstorm struck twice with a red flashlight that will definitely meet you irrespective of where you are, and a strange wind filled up the entire community. Everyone was scared and terrified; children were found clamped in their mother's breast, mates were holding each other tightly, the trees were not left out, and animals were running for their lives. There were blood spills at every boundary of a given territory, and this allowed it to cross into a new clan to devour them.The alphas are shifting; they howl and groan to protect the community; the moon goddess is prayed to send the full moon; and the clan, packs, and territory need more wolves to fight for them.It is the beast—the masked monster—who has been terrorizing the entire wolf community in the last five years. It comes on the 12th, 17th, and 25th of every month. It kills and devours every wolf, werewolf, and animal it beholds.He is see

Two weeks laterIt has been two weeks now since my son and I left the hospital. We live in the downhill city, which is not far from the hospital. This place is quiet and peaceful even though one could barely see a half wolf. The house is an uncompleted building that was used by wolf hunters in the past before the werewolf community sent them all away and marked their territory. The body of the house is made of crafty, beautiful bamboo sticks. Its roof is made of blue trampoline sheets. There are no windows yet, but I was able to find aluminum sheets, which, to me, look great. My little son Leo is growing so fast already; his presence in my life gives me hope; he is the essence of my existence. It is 12:15 p.m. As usual, everywhere is calm and peaceful, but there was a noise. While I laid my baby down in his cot, I peeked through my windows and saw a young man. I could only see his back, but from his back, you could at least make a guess at what he could look like. From his back view,
