Gina lay on my king sized bed, her petite frame barely filling half of the space. Her dishelved hair covered her face, her lips parted, and eyelids fluttering. I had carefully helped her out of her dress, leaving only her thong. Her chest rose as she breathed lightly, looking like an angel as she slept.I had tried covering her naked body with the duvet, but she kept shifting in her sleep, unintentionally exposing her body. She looked so fragile that I almost felt bad for her. Guilt lingered within me as I remembered biting her to hard, drawing blood in the process. I couldnt forget the betrayed look in her eyes; realizing that she would never trust me.I didn’t need her to anyways.The necklace Diana had given me rested in my hand. I had successfully infused her blood in it, all that was left was to place the necklace around her neck. Moving quietly to avoid waking her, I neared her, savoring the gentle warmth of her breath on my face. I got distracted as I admired her. Her features

I dipped my head into the water, enjoying the gentle embrace of its warmth as it delicately caressed my skin. The sensation worked its way through me, untangling the knots of tension in my muscles from the training. When I came back to the surface, I released a deep breath that relieved my stress. With my hair clinging to my face , I pulled the strands away from my vision.My gaze fell on Praya swimming through the water at the opposite side, her vibrant red hair cascading around her. This was therapy.I recalled what her siblings had said to her about shifting and I was curious to know what they meant by that.As she swam back and leaned her arms on the lakefront, I asked.“I overheard Jessica mentioning something about not being able to shift. What did she mean?”She looked at me with drooped eyelids, and a shadow darkened her expression. “I cant shift. I haven’t been able to transform into my wolf.”I couldn't understand what it meant but it sounded like a big deal.“Is there a sp

After a night of barely enough sleep, I woke up the next morning feeling utterly drained. I dreaded training today but I managed to get myself prepared. Heading to the training ground, Praya approached me. There was concern etched on her features when she saw my tired state.“You look like you barely got enough sleep,” she said, her gaze not missing any single detail.“Do I look that bad?” I asked as we did our morning warm-ups.She examined me carefully, “Err— not bad,” I yawned, “I’m so tired today.”“What happened though? Rough night with Devyn?” a cunning smirk crept on her face as she stretched her legs and knees. I felt warmth creep up my cheeks when I understood what she meant.“Gosh, no!” I shrieked and she chuckled.Though I wondered what a rough night with Devyn would be. I shoved away the thoughts, ashamed that I had even thought about it.“It was just a nightmare,” I mumbled, shuddering when images from the dream flashed through my mind. I shook my head as if to dispel t

DEVYN’S POVI was informed by the elders who dwelled at the Sacred Burial Grove that someone had died. Killed evidently.The most tragic part of it all was that it was a child. The mother had gone out to search for her son when he’d gone out to play with his friends but didn't come back. That’s when she found his corpse. Death was a normal circumstance, even for we werewolves who couldn't die from common injuries and sicknesses. But death like this was far from common, and that left me feeling uneasy.‘What is the situation over there?’ I sent a telepathic message to Liam who responded almost immediately.‘It’s worse than I thought, like nothing I’ve ever seen.’Not sure of what to expect, I braced myself for the worst. Wilona couldn't tag along since she was occupied with Gina’s training, leaving only me and Liam for the task. The burial grove was on a sacred site, positioned not so far away from the sanctuary. It was designed that way to aid the journey of departed souls to parad

Devyn barged into my room while I was still deep in sleep. Startled, I shot upright, shrieking at him while he just casually leaned on the door frame with crossed arms, like barging into my room while I slept was the most natural thing to do in the world.I made a mental note after to lock my door anytime I was in the room. Despite having no idea where we were headed yet, I still prepared for the day. I wore a long sundress that clung at the waist before gracefully flaring down.When I got downstairs. Devyn was already eating at the dining table. I joined him as we ate, and I was grateful for the silence. This time I was able to eat my meal with no disturbance. Once we were done, we proceeded on our unknown journey together. As I followed behind him, I couldn't help but feel grateful for the pleasing sight in front of me. He wore a shirt that accentuated his well-muscled body and the sleeves revealed his strong big arms. I was practically swooning over him, despite him being a jerk.
