You're smarter than this
"What else are you hiding from me?""What are you talking about?" I asked even though I understood his question. "Don't pretend to be a fool, princess, we both know you're smarter than that," there was annoyance in his voice. I remained calm.It was igniting his anger.He slammed the wall behind me with anger, his arms were keeping me trapped in front of him. His eyes were no longer the same, his wolf was taking control. I was supposed to be on my guard but instead, I did something stupid, I raised my hand and started running my fingers on his face. I traced the scar lightly. Alpha Orion looked confused momentarily but then closed his eyes before opening them again. Both my hands were now on his cheeks. A low growl erupted from his throat, making me realize what I was doing. I quickly let go and looked away. My entire face was getting warm, at that moment I wanted the earth to open up and swallow me entirely. He was still staring at me. Suddenly he took a step back and was abou

There will be no next time
4 days was a long time. So much could happen. Alpha Orion and I were getting closer, we started spending more time together. We were having dinner together, just the two of us. Nothing much had changed but still, something felt different and I was not complaining. We had a new routine for the night, we would share the details of our day while I rested in his arms until the sleep embraced me in a warm hug. "From your snoring, I guess there was no nightmare."I gasped, "I do not snore."He looked at me from the mirror, "Tell that to my poor ears."I threw a pillow in his direction which he caught while chucking and put it back neatly on the bed. The laughter was gone and his face was now serious, "You know the plans for today, right."I nodded my head.We planned to meet Arwin after lunch. Alpha Orion was going to take both of us to the place where blood was found. It could either trigger a memory from my dreams or make Arwin remember something. There was another weird thing, for

You are the Luna
"Thank you, for doing this.""It's always a pleasure to help you Luna, you and Alpha Orion saved my life, this is the least I can do to repay you."We stood outside the car waiting for Alpha Orion to join us. "You should just call me Ruhee, I am not Luna," I looked at the sky, the dark clouds had started forming. "But you are the Luna," Arwin argued.I decided not to respond knowing well it would be of no use."Where is he?" I looked around hoping to see him coming our way from somewhere.Kai was standing just a few steps away from us with a phone in his hand. To someone else, it might appear he was entirely focused on the world of the internet with no idea of his surroundings but it was wrong, he was more than aware of everything going around us. The way his ears kept moving with every little sound and the way he was scanning the area told everything about his werewolf senses, even though I had seen them already. I stared at Kai but stopped from going towards him, I wanted to kno

True self
**Everything was dark.Pitch-black darkness surrounded me, it was hard to breathe. I moved my arms around, there was little to no space. I frantically started kicking and punching the walls that were keeping me locked in that place.Finally, a miracle happened and I managed to push the door.I moved outside and filled my lungs with as much air as possible. I was gasping like a fish out of the water.Once I was calm I realized I was no longer in the house that was burning....the fire....the girl....it all started coming back to me.Was I dead?I was standing on the barren land, it was the same place that I had seen multiple times in my dreams but there were no dead bodies this time and it was not night.The lack of vegetation in this place was scary. And the crazy part was something else, life was missing from this place only. I could see green mountains in the distance.How was it possible? I was in my nightmare again. This time I was not scared. I wanted to find some answers.I s

Start from the beginning
The sun had started to fall, painting the room in a deep shade of orangish-red....the color was bringing back the memories of fire and what happened in that house.Alpha Orion told me all about how they found us trapped inside the room....the girl did not speak so no one had any idea about how we did not get burned with that building.I decided to tell Alpha all about my dream before I forgot about it. But it did not feel like one of my nightmares, the woman in my dream was different. I knew I could trust her...it was foolish to say this but it was true, there was something about that voice...something warm. Alpha was not sure about the place and I did not mention the river or I knew anything about the place. Before we could talk more about it people started coming to the room to check up on me. First, it was Bernadette who pulled me in a bone-crushing hug then Kai who just asked how I was feeling and left with a nod. At last, Chelsea came with a bowl of fruits which was not liked

Running out of time
"Who told you this?""A friend," she replied casually moving her feet in the water.I glanced at the clear sky, I had to leave soon."Can you tell me more about her?" Flora looked at the sky then closed her eyes with a smile, "She would have loved you. In fact, you remind me of her in so many ways.""What do you mean?" The curiosity was evident in my voice. "She doesn't live here now.""Oh," my heart sank slightly after hearing this. I opened my mouth to ask her more about the woman or if she knew anything about the other side of the river."Aren't you getting late to return?"Flora's words made me realize that I should return to the mansion before Kai figured out anything."I will see you later," I said while removing the grass from my clothes.Flora waved with a smile but the smile was not the same. I gave her one last look before running through the forest.Pretty soon I was back inside the mansion."Where were you?"I did not let my expression change even remotely."Out."Kai

Can I ask you something?
The night was filled with laughter and joy...something which was bringing warmth to my heart as well. This is what I always wanted to be a part of. Another thing I learned about Alpha Orion's pack, they held gatherings and various ways to unite the pack members. This time it was a bonfire, everyone was chatting and looked carefree, there was no barrier of ranks between them. There was no place for worries or fear about the future...they had no clue about the dark cloud forming above their heads. For the first time in many weeks, I did not have to look at the clock, the time was going by very quickly.I smiled at Alpha as I saw the last couple leave with huge smiles on their faces. "Tired?" Alpha pressed his lips to the side of my head.I shook my head with a grin, "That was fun.""I am glad you liked it," he let out a small laugh. The night was better as Alpha stayed by my side all the time, introducing me to everyone, and telling me various stories. He was making me feel like a

Parting gift
"Going somewhere?" a silhouette with a familiar voice called from the dark, making me stop like a thief at night. I was not in any mood to have an argument with him out of all the people in the world, especially when I had decided to leave the pack for good."No response today?" he asked again, this time the voice was closer.I did not turn around to face him. "Never thought you would be a coward.""What do you want?" There was no emotion in my sentence. He came to stand in front of me. I was glad the lighting was dim, I did not want Kai to see any signs of weakness on my face. I was not sure if I could control my tears or genuine emotions.His facial features were still visible, which meant he could see me clearly as well. I decided not to care about it, I was going anyway."Why would I want anything from you?"The cockiness was dripping from his voice."In fact, I wanted to give you this as a parting gift."With confusion, I looked at his extended hand there was something he was

Restless
"We need to increase security on this part of the border as well, it does not matter who lives on the other side of the border. We have to be on alert." I scanned the lines carefully. "You're still not going to tell me what's this about?" "We do not have time for that," I did not lift my eyes but knew Kai was looking at me. In three days, a lot had changed. Alpha Orion was still missing and the blood moon was seven days away. I was working with Kai to make sure nothing could enter the pack, I was not sure how blood moon worked but I was not going to leave any place for mistakes. "Anything else?" "No." Kai left the room without saying another word. I let out a sigh and closed my eyes for a moment to breathe. Who knew I would work with Kai to save a pack I never wanted to be a part of? I opened my eyes and shook my head, I did not have time to waste. I gulped the remaining coffee and started looking at the long lines once again. Kai's words did not let me walk out of t

Not now
"Did you forget the way to your room?" I was still blocking the way. "I am sorry, I know I have made so many mistakes and I am ready to apologize for all of them.." I placed my palm in front of him, "The blood moon is approaching fast, did you get any reply from the witches?" He looked taken back from my question. Even in the dim light, I could see how his eyes were red and had bags under them, his hair was dancing in all directions. Even the clothes he was wearing consisted of one t-shirt that looked small for him, which meant he had picked it up on the way after he shifted back to his human form. A part of me was curious to know where he was and why he left but another part of me knew better. Both of these parts were having a battle inside my head. "Princess, please listen..." His voice sounded broken and my heart ached hearing it but I could not be weak now. "If you will excuse me, I have to sleep," I tried to shut the door but he stopped it with his hand. His face told t
