Gabriel’s POVI stood at the edge of the clearing, watching my pack as they played and hunted. They moved with grace and precision that spoke to their strength and skill. I could feel the pride swell within me, and I knew that it was a feeling that was shared by the rest of the pack. We were a family, and we were growing stronger and healthier every day.Being an alpha wasn't easy, but it was a responsibility that I took seriously.As I turned to leave, I saw Neo approaching me with a frown on his face. As he walked closer, his frown deepened, and I knew something was bothering him. Neo was always talking about his girlfriend, Nyx. He would tell anyone who would listen about how amazing she was and how lucky he felt to have her in his life. But as time went on, it became clear that Neo wasn't just in love with Nyx – he was lovesick for her.Every time Nyx wasn't around, Neo's mood would darken. He would become quiet and withdrawn, lost in his thoughts. He would spend hours staring of
Lovette’s POVI stumbled backward as Vera lunged at me, her eyes filled with a terrifying hunger. I knew I was no match for her, but I couldn't give up without a fight.I tried to dodge her attacks, but she was too fast, too strong. She grabbed hold of my shirt, and I felt her claws digging into my skin.Where the hell was Gabriel when I needed him?Just when I thought that all hope was lost and I was about to face certain doom, Nyx appeared out of nowhere, her body beginning to contort and shift into a wolf.Vera growled out loud, recognizing Nyx to be her sister. For a moment, I thought Vera was going to back down and give up fighting. But I thought wrongVera was also transforming, her body twisting and convulsing until she too had taken on the shape of a massive wolf.The two of them began to circle each other, growling and snarling in a display of primal aggression. Even though I knew they were once sisters, it was clear that they were now enemies, locked in a deadly struggle th
Gabriel’s POVI was a mess. I couldn't bear to see Celeste like this. I paced back and forth in front of her room, my heart beating frantically in my chest. I couldn't focus on anything else, couldn't think of anything else. Every minute that passed felt like an eternity.Nyx had taken her inside the room to perform some healing on her. And I was waiting patiently for the outcome.Every time I passed by the door, I peeked inside, hoping to see some sign of improvement. But each time, it was the same. Celeste lying there, unmoving, while Nyx attended to her.All I could do was wait and pray.Finally, after what felt like hours, the door opened and Nyx emerged from the room, I practically ran towards her. "How is she? Is she going to be okay?" I asked, my voice shaking with fear and desperation.Nyx looked up at me, and her expression was blank. For a moment, I couldn't read her face, and then she spoke, her voice devoid of emotion. "I'm sorry, Gabriel. Celeste didn't make it. She's gon
Lovette’s POVI had noticed that Gabriel was always around Celeste. At first, I brushed it off, thinking that he was just being friendly. But as the days went by, I couldn't shake off the feeling that there was something more to it.So, I decided to ask him about it."Hey, Gabriel," I said, leaning over to him. "I've noticed that you're always around Celeste. Is there something going on between you two?"Gabriel didn't give me a direct answer. He just smiled and said, "Why do you ask?"I felt a pang of frustration. I had hoped for a straight answer. But before I could say anything, Ralph came up to me and took me away."Lovette, my love," he said, hugging me. "I've missed you. What were you and Gabriel talking about?"I hesitated for a moment but then decided to tell Ralph what was on my mind. "I was just asking Gabriel about Celeste. He's always around her, and I can't help but wonder if there's something going on between them."“I see. But don't worry about it, babe. I'm sure there'
It’s the last day of school and the end of my sophomore year. I’m in the sitting room, pressing my phone and surfing the net. Nowadays, I seem to enjoy checking out celebrities on Instagram. There is something about it: they’re letting you in on details about their life. I was so engrossed in what I was doing that I didn’t even hear when my mum entered the sitting room.“Lovette!!” She screamed out my name “C’mon mum, you scared me, why didn’t you just tap me, I could have gotten a heart attack you know,” I said to my mother. My mother rolled her eyes at me. “Stop being dramatic, will you? What if a thief entered the house? I’ve told you to always be conscious of your environment.”Now look who is the dramatic one. How on earth would a thief enter the house. Our neighbourhood is safe and secure. I chuckled and shook my head at her reasoning.It’s been the two of us since my Father left my mother for a sugar mummy. He claimed he wanted to be the younger one in the relationship and lo
Ralph POVI was fuming with anger. I wonder why you can't choose the life you want to have. Why did nature have to create me like this? I wondered. I was to attend a party organized by college mates, but my parents refused for me to attend. They are overprotective even when it's not needed. Isn't choice the power of man, so why don't I have a choice in my life.My parents are werewolves. And unfortunately, I have to automatically become a werewolf. I don't like being one. I would rather be a human. I don't have to worry about turning into an animal with claws and sharp teeth. I can also be with any lady of my choice, not tied down to the moon goodess deciding who my life mate will be.There is a rule with werewolves, the moon goddess will be the one to choose who your life mate is when the time comes. And there is this bond they claim will be shared amongst you too. I don't want to be tied down into a particular lady that I don't love. I find it lame, actually. What if the lady isn't
Lovette POVThe day was finally here. I was about to see Connor, my buddy for life. I had on a pink crop top and black high-waist trousers. I styled my hair into a messy ponytail using a polka dot ribbon. My luggage was packed and all set. I bid goodbye to my mum and left for the park. It was a 3-hour trip involving the vehicle stopping at every checkpoint.Exhausting. Thank goodness I had my phone to keep me company. I was watching TikTok videos back to back.Alas! I got to the town where the Harper’s lived. I ordered a cab to my main destination. I was feeling all sought of emotions, from excitement to nervousness. I know I shouldn’t be nervous since they are more or less my family, but it’s been 3 good years since I last saw them. I wonder if Ralph and Lowell have changed a lot since the last time. They must have outgrown some of their habits. Connor and Lowell will have been able to shift into their wolves. I was told Werewolves start shifting on their 16th birthday, and they hav
“Wakey wakey, lazy bones” Connor was trying to get me up from bed by tapping my forehead. What is it with people always trying to cut one’s sleep short? I was not a morning person, so waking up was usually a difficult task for me. Cradling a pillow to my chest, I stirred in my sleep.“Ugh, why did you have to wake me up so early?” I checked the time on the clock on the nightstand and groaned. I purposely did not set the alarm cause I wanted to enjoy my sleep peacefully.“What a beautiful morning it is, we need to catch up and explore,” He explained.He was way too excited. Sometimes I wonder if he should have been born as a female. He fits the description of a female friend. “I’m awake. You can leave the room. I’ll come to join you soon,” I told him. Hearing that, he left the room.I got up from the bed groggily. My body was still numb. Probably from the previous day’s trip. I had on oversized black tees with pink shorts, and my hair was all tangled.I went to the bathroom, splashed
