Emily’s POV So far my day has been fine. I had woken up by 6:00am and had gone for a run, accompanied by a stray cat who scared the shit outta me. On getting back home, I made breakfast for myself and was halfway done when Mum and Dad walked down the staircase with heavy eyes. “Good morning,” I greeted, cheerfully. They exchanged glances before Dad replied, “Morning, darling.” Mum leaned over and kissed my cheeks. “Why are you up so early?” I looked at my phone screen. “This is ten minutes past seven, how is that early?” Dad laughed. “For you it is.” Mum concurred by nodding her head. “But I hope you got enough sleep. Remember today’s event?” I nodded. “How can I forget?” Dad patted my shoulder. “Don’t worry, you’re gonna be great and everyone would love you.” “Sure,” I said, faking a smile. I didn’t care if people liked me or not but I had promised myself to never argue with them… for Sandra’s sake. The doorbell rang and as I rose

Emily’s POV“There’s something about the Ripper that doesn’t seem right,” Sandra looked at me. “And what is that?” “I don’t know… but…” “But you have to be extremely careful,” She advised. “You already have too many men in your life, believe me you don’t want to add the Ripper to the list.” I chuckled. “How possible is that? The Ripper would never go for a wolf like me,” She smiled. “Exactly, I researched about his Luna and I was stunned.” “Yeah, I’ve also seen her and to be honest, she’s way out of my league. She’s super gorgeous and hot with so much skills and strength.” Sandra sighed as she dropped her cellphone on her lap. “In other words, the Ripper’s pack defeats us in everything.”“How so?” She rolled her eyes. “Isn’t it quite obvious. The Ripper is way hotter and stronger than our Alpha and his Luna is more…everything than you.” “I know about the latter one being true but I doubt that the Ripper is way hotter than Dexter.” Sandra s

Emily’s POV Sneaking out of the house had been quite easy as it wasn’t Mrs. Fabian at the gate but the old Mr. Jones who was fast asleep and didn’t even notice when I snuck out. The only part that was quite difficult was running past the guards lodge, knowing fully well that about ten security officials were there. But I managed to do that successfully without anyone of them noticing my presence. When I was much younger, my siblings called me ‘the fox’ due to my ability to run silently. By 11:00pm I was out of the wealthy residential area and was walking as fast as I could on the bad roads of downtown Haven. Unlike my side of town which was quiet and lonely at night, downtown Haven was still buzzing. Although I knew that everyone on the road and streets were either gangsters, ruffians, prostitutes or drug-pushers. I wasn’t scared at all because I knew that I couldn’t be hurt by anyone of them. Even when a couple of them approached me, all I had to do was

Blade’s POV It was getting dark now and I could see the early stars peeping out of the sky and I still wasn’t sure of my destination. I knew Susan lived at the other end of town after the green meadows. It was the only area which had not changed at all. There were still farm animals dung littered all over the ground and most of the houses were small bungalows with henhouses beside them. Susan had told me that their house was the biggest around here as it was the only storey building. Ten minutes later, the sputtering of my motorbike came to an end at the front of a brick building which had an upper floor. Beside the house was a ranch and at the other end of the yard was a little greenhouse. Behind the house was a black lake which had been barricaded with a short wooden fence. It was late now and most of the lights in the brick house were turned on which meant that someone was around. I didn’t know why but I felt hesitant to knock and request fo

Emily’s POV“Are you okay?” I looked up and met the questioning eyes of both my parents. “Hmhm..” I replied with a slight nod and I resumed my thinking. Dad cleared his throat. “Emily, is anything the matter?” I shook my head. “Then why aren’t you eating?” Dad asked. “Since you woke up, you’ve been acting strange, are you sure you’re fine?” “Yes Dad.” I replied, slightly offended that they were interrupting my thoughts. I wiped my mouth and rose from the dining chair. “Thanks Mum… the brunch was amazing.” “How would you know that when you didn’t even taste it?” Mum was clearly annoyed. “I-I-I’m just uhm… I don’t have an appetite right now.” I turned around and headed upstairs. “And where are you going?” Mum inquired. “To my room,” I said as I marched up the staircases. “Hope you’re…” I didn’t bother to listen to the rest of what Mum had to say as I slammed my room door shut. Heaving a sigh of relief, I walked to my table and
