The rest of the week was spent avoiding each other. The fire-blazing passion between us that night made me sleepless and uneasy. I wondered why Zane had pushed me away when it was obvious that we were both enjoying the kiss. There was no one to talk to, Eleanor did not show up again and I can not open up to Yuri.Tired of being alone and bored, I storm off to Zane’s room. On my way, I bump into his beta, Conrad.“Greetings, Luna Cora.”“Where is Zane?” I ask, allowing my curiosity to get the better of me.Conrad replies, “He went to the training ground.”“Take me there.” Conrad hesitated a bit before leading me to the car. If Zane will not come to me, then I am going to him. Either way, we are both going to talk about this maddening feelings that are attached to us.What I did not prepare myself for was the outcome of where I was going. The training ground is the largest I have ever seen, with a large capacity that can contain thousands of people.Conrad leads me to the main field w

“Brown Doe, are you okay?”My eyes hurt as I try to force them open, my head is spinning from constantly trying to stir from my deep sleep. His voice resonates in my head and I relax my nerves, my eyes open slowly. The environment is blurry at first but it soon clears, Zane’s worried face stares back at me.“W… what happened?” I stammer.“You were poisoned by the nightshade thorn,” he replies.“Nightshade…?”I gasp when I recall the thorn I had snatched from Conrad’s hand, If a single one could make me dizzy, what about the man that was plugged with so many of them?“What about the man?” I ask.Zane growls but replies to me anyway, “He’s fine now.”I sighed in relief that I had saved a soul. Zane holds my hands, his warmth creeps on my skin and I suddenly feel hot inside.“You scared me earlier, I thought I was going to lose you,” he lets out.“If you are scared of losing me, why do you keep pushing me away?”That question seems too hard for him to answer, his silence tells me so. “Y

One of the best seasons to be in the Dark Howlers pack has come - The wrestling tournament. I hum in excitement while the servants pack my bags as the first level will be taking place at the sister pack of our pack.It is a wholesome experience, Andy has told me about the last season and although they lost, everyone is hoping that this season will be an epic one. It is a good thing that Zane did not stop me from tagging along with them, at least the boredom of staying in the pack house has been limited.We are taking three vehicles for the trip, Zane and I occupy the first vehicle while Conrad and Andy are in the second vehicle. The third one is a bus ride that contains the pack warriors eligible for the first level and a few Cheerios. We won’t be using any servants as the hosting pack will provide us with one.The journey starts and I smile at the loud cheers coming from the third vehicle, they seem too eager for the tournament like I am.“Have you been to a tournament before?” Zane

The next journey to the next pack for the second round Carrie’s more powerful anticipation than the first, we travel alongside Aaron and Gaia to the Midnight pack where we will be participating.“I’ve heard so many mysteries about Midnight pack,” Gaia tells me.“Really? Can you tell me about it?” I ask.“I heard that the witches coven and the werewolves of that pack made a pact to live together, this caused the pack to be magically blessed with beauty and magic. But the other werewolves were against the idea and attacked them, eliminating the witches except for the last powerful witch who protected the pack from evil.”I marvel at how mystifying the story is. I never knew that witches existed until now when Gaia told me about it, it would be amazing to meet the last witch in person.“Will the witch be present for the tournament?”Gaia shakes her head, “No one has seen her for years. Rumors have it that she has a child…”Zane clears his throat loudly, interrupting us. Aaron leans close

Thankfully, Cora recovers the next morning. She can walk around and talk freely with me, I’m worried about her lost memory but that should be settled after I meet with my mother. The match is scheduled to take place in the afternoon so that we’ll be able to return to my pack before midnight, the final match with the Citadel pack will be hosted by my pack.“You should try to rest, Cora. You’ve been walking around since morning,” I tell her.“I’m only worried because I can’t remember anything that happened yesterday,” she pouts.I chuckle lightly, “Walking around will not help you to remember anything, it will only exhaust you and then you’ll be tired when the match starts.”“That’s right.”She sits on the bed, and Noah comes in after. His face is clouded with fear and anxiety, I know that something transpired between them but now it’s not the right time to force him to say the truth. I want to take Cora out of this pack first before taking a step to find out what happened.“Luna Cora,
