The loud cries of the newborns echoed past the building, stirring up every sleeping soul and awakening the dead in the darkest part of the forest. The moon slowly took a bloody shade of red, casting red glows on the earth. Midwives wore mixed expressions as they held the boys in their arms. The twins that had just entered the world. "The oldest is…a monster." One of the midwives declared, staring with fright at the little bundle in her arms. Just then, fireflies lit up the room, surrounding the boy and causing his skin to glow. Gasps filled the room and the midwife carrying the child almost dropped him. She was trembling and tearing up. "Oh dear goddess, what is this?" She mumbled in frantic tears. "Ma'am?" The second of the midwives called out to the woman who had just given birth to the boys. But there was no response. The woman had her eyes closed and she wasn't breathing anymore. She was gone. Everyone in the room broke into deep sobs as they mourned her. The door opened a

KATNISS "You're messing with my head, Eva and I hate it. Just go away. Leave me alone!" I yelled at her. I didn't know if it was the booze I'd swallowed, but a part of me didn't wanna look at her face much longer. How could she taunt me like this? How could she make a joke about Rex being here? She of all people knew how much of a sensitive issue this was to me. Bumping into a random man, I quickly backed away, muttering my apologies. When I straightened, I was staring at an over-familiar figure sitting at the bar. He wasn't looking in my direction, no, not a chance. He seemed lost in thought, fiddling with the glass in his hand. His hair was brown and tousled to the side of his face. Did he get a new haircut and tint? It was black the last time I saw him. Again, he wasn't looking at me and I was grateful for that. He would have caught me smitten at the sight of him – flushed at how hot and sexy he looked tonight. "Rex…" I mumbled weakly, as my heart constricted in pain. Why wa

KATNISS Dinner has never felt this awkward and uncomfortable but right now, I was almost choking on my plate of salad and I was not even halfway through with it. I've had three cups of water but it didn't help to ease the tension I was feeling. If he keeps up with the heated stare, I fear I might melt away. Max Luciano. I don't know what his deal was, but the guy was freaking me out. And he wouldn't quit staring!! I would have been halfway okay if his blue eyes weren't ravaging my frame like I was just some object! He was sitting next to Mum, who was sitting next to Alpha Vicenzo, who was sitting next to Rex and then there was me. So literally, I was sitting opposite Max and that made me an easy prey for his devouring eyes. "Max decided to stay in the Pack with us from here on. It was a sudden decision, but of course, I agreed. He's been away from home for so long. I wanna spend some time with him too. I haven't gotten the chance to do that since his birth." Alpha Vicenzo beg
