"Did you get it?" Rain excitedly said as she went out of her office. Liam looked up from his laptop and focused his attention on Rain. "Get what?" Rain sighed in frustration. "The invitation!" "What invitation?" he asked, confused. Rain walked closer to him and went behind his back. "I told you to check your personal email more often. Come on, open up your account." Liam quickly opened up his personal email account and clicked on the latest message. He read the contents of the email. "A high school reunion?" "Yeah," Rain nodded her head. "Let's go together." Liam smiled. In the course that they have been dating, he could feel that Rain had changed for the better. She had gained so much confidence over the past few months, and Liam feels proud knowing that she had grown to love and appreciate herself even more. "Yeah, let's go together. I also miss some of my high school friends." Rain smiled. "That's settled, then. Let's also buy our outfits together." *** Rain and Liam t
Axel excitedly dialed Cupid's number, ready to tell him about the unexpected news. As much as the two of them try to deny it, they both know, deep inside their hearts, that they treat each other as very good friends. "Yo," Axel said into the phone. "I have something to tell you." "Axel!" Cupid greeted in an equally jolly voice. "I was just about to call you too. I also have some great news." Axel became a little suspicious when he heard that Cupid, too, had some good news, but nothing could really take away from his happiness after the news that he had just heard. "You go first, then," Axel presented since he is in a good mood. "Nah, man. You go first. You're the one who called me first. Go ahead," Cupid responded. "No, you." "No, you go first." "No, YOU go first." "No, you're the one who should go first." They endlessly said to each other. In the end, Axel sighed in frustration. "Let's just say it at the same time, alright. Then we'll explain it individually afterward." "Fi
It has been exactly eight months since Axel and Cupid called each other to share that their respective wives were pregnant, and it has also been eight months since they’ve been seeing each other every month. Axel sighed as he packed his bags once again.“Are you ready, love?” Rosalind called out from the bathroom.Axel smiled and tried to sound cheery. “Yes, love. I’ll just load the bags in the car.”“Alright, I’ll come down after peeing,” she called out.“Stay here while I load our things, love. I’ll go back here to come and fetch you.”Rosalind flushed the toilet and moved out of the bathroom. “Wait, let’s just go together,” she walked toward her husband. She held onto her back as she walked since her stomach had gotten so big that her back failed to support her by itself anymore.Axel clicked his tongue and shook his head when he saw her struggling to walk. He placed their bags down on the ground and walked over to where she was. One hand held onto her back while the other held on
Axel“Axel, come on! We need to hurry up, or they’ll catch up to us.” Sebastian patted me on the shoulder as I looked in the direction that I came from one last time. It was way too far that I couldn't see our pack anymore, only the smoke that swirled into the sky. The place I’ve been living in for the last 20 years is about to be burned to nothing but ashes and dirt.“I’ll be back,” I said to myself and turned around to join Sebastian.My father was the Alpha of the pack. Our family had been in charge since forever until recently, Logan, the orphan my father took in twelve years ago, had mustered up a bunch of our trusted allies to brutally murder my father in his sleep and imprison my mother.Logan was brought home by my father after the Blood War. He was the son of our enemy pack, but my father took him in because he was deemed as an innocent child. We were once great friends, brothers even. B
AxelThirty years ago, the Blood Venom pack made its first appearance in the world. Alpha Theodore Langston made all of the werewolf leaders and elders kneel before his feet, making him the strongest of them all.With his reign, the werewolf world was consumed in nothing but catastrophe and war, and many innocent lives were taken in the process. Life was covered in darkness, and werewolves started losing hope.Then one day, when death and demolition showed no signs of slowing down, a powerful Alpha stepped forward to end the destruction brought by the Blood Venom pack. With his great strength and skills, he was able to kill Alpha Theodore and bring peace to the werewolf world once again.The courageous man is none other than Greggory Steele, the Alpha of the Silver Raven pack, and my father. We quickly became one of the most powerful packs in the entire world, and everyone respected our clan.I still remember that day&md
Axel“Hurry up, Logan! Dad’s going to beat our ass if we’re late once again,” I shouted, glancing back at Logan, who was trailing behind me. “It’s your fault!” He bit back. “If you weren’t Mister Popular and didn’t have to talk to so many people on the way, then we would have reached the training grounds by now.”I chuckled. “Don’t act like you weren’t chatting up Trina under the bleachers. I was the one who was waiting for you to finish. I’m glad that you finally had the guts to talk to her. You’ve been crushing on her since what? 8th grade?” I asked, nudging his shoulders. Ever since Logan came to our house, we’ve been pretty much inseparable. Although we weren’t brothers by blood, I felt like we were brothers by heart. We already went through a lot together—we played, went to school, endured our father’s trai
RosalindWhoosh!The long sword moved effortlessly as I lightly swung it above my head then brought it down with brute force. The branch got detached from the tree, its dry leaves scattering on the ground. The sky was dark, and only the moon served as my source of light—the sound of the owls chirping served as my audience as if cheering me on. Just like most nights, I sneaked out of the palace to practice my swordsmanship skills. I could do so in the day, but my obnoxious stepmother would probably find a way to distract me and give me some chores. I stopped swinging my sword and paused for a while to catch my breath. The silver metal glistened in the night, and I couldn’t help but smile at the sight. This was given to me by my late mother—her gift to me before she drew her last breath. I sat down under the tree, leaning on its sturdy trunk. I promised myself that I would stop getting emotional with the thought of her, b
Axel“Axel, come on! We need to hurry up, or they’ll catch up to us.” Sebastian patted me on the shoulder as I looked in the direction I came from one last time. It was way too far that I couldn't see our pack anymore, only the smoke that swirled into the sky. The place I’ve been living in for the last 20 years is about to be burned to nothing but ashes and dirt. The scarring event still lingered in my mind—seeing my father’s blood soaking the sheets on their bed and seeing my precious mother being captured by Logan. I blame myself for not waking up on time to stop the tragedy, but I know that the real villain in the story isn’t me but Logan. Tomorrow was supposed to be my coronation day—the day when I’m finally going to be hailed as the Alpha of our pack, so I opted to sleep earlier than usual. In my slumber, I remembered being woken up by Sebastian, my incoming beta.
