Tanya’s POVThe next morning, I woke up feeling woozy, like I had hit my head on a wall. The events of yesterday came rushing back to my head spontaneously most especially those haunting hazel eyes that deprived me of my sleep. I had so many questions but no means to get answers, Ms. Grant would not talk to me either, and looking at the creepy nature of my housemates, I knew making the moves to get answers would be a dead end. I resolved not to let it overwhelm me, I’ll take it a day at a time. I looked at the time, jumped out of bed, and ran to the bathroom. I was going to be late for Professor Eugene’s class. I took off the nightwear I wore and tossed it farther from the bathtub as I entered the old and unbalanced Jacuzzi tub. It had lost its original color which I believed was white, I imagined how long it hadn’t been in use for. I felt a relaxing kind of sensation that soothed my insides so much immediately my skin made contact with the warm water. It reminded me of home, it also
Tristan’s POVMy mind never stopped running back to her. She had made herself at home in my head and I loved how it made me feel. I went from my usual morning run and I suddenly felt a twinge of ecstasy in my chest that caused me to stop in my tracks. A powerful scent that sought nothing but to bring me to my knees engulfed me. It was her, I knew it was her, that human with those beautiful pure eyes I met in my wolf form that day in the woods, she was close. I looked around anxiously for a sign of her, but I got none and it was beginning to piss me off. SKY, my wolf was pacing inside of me, he sizzled with so much energy, and he felt her too. “She’s here…somewhere close, I can feel her, Yesssss, I can feel her” Sky giggled inside me, I felt him surfacing, a sign that he wanted her so badly. “Take it easy, will you? You can’t possibly surface here, we might just end up scaring her away, I can’t even get a sight of her and it’s frustrating me, don’t add your tension to my already tens
Tanya’s POVI felt eyes someone’s eyes was watching my every move but I didn’t give much thought to it, for I know it could be the other students of Mystique University who also saw me as an alien. After my class that morning, I headed to the cafeteria, I was hungry and since I hadn’t eaten in the morning, the insects in my stomach were beginning to bite me profusely. I felt uncomfortable gazes on me, I wanted to disappear and reappear at the cafeteria but HA! I am no magician or witch. I looked down the whole time as I took careful steps as though the ground was going to break if I walked any harder than I did. When I got there, the gazes never stopped, rather they multiplied. I made my way to the counter and ordered food mac and cheese. That was all I could afford at that time because I had run out of money. I placed the order and waited for a few minutes for it to be processed. After a little while, the counter attendant rolled over a tray to me. I carried the food from the counter
The pressure coming from the pack about the Alpha getting a Luna became too much ever since the incessant attacks by rogues began. The people feared the rogues may conquer them because their alpha’s strength was limited, he needed a mate to make him stronger and a Luna to oversee the affairs of the pack should he go into battle. Tristan feared that the attacks on his pack by rogues might continue and a darker time would come thus he needed all the strength and power he could gather. He understood the importance of having his mate by his side so he decided to make moves to win Tanya over. He knew nothing about wooing a woman, especially a human. He was used to the women coming unto him, and he planned to make her fall in love with him naturally since she was human, it would take him time to properly woe her the way the humans do in their world, but if she were their kind, {if she was a werewolf} the mate bond would’ve already found a way of bringing them closer to each. She had not see
The next morning, the sun beamed exuding its glories through the thick blue clouds, the birds were already about their morning rituals, chirping and flapping their wings from tree to tree. There was a cool breeze that was blowing all over. There was a sweet moisture that filled the air. That was the kind of weather that sent the werewolves into a moment of joy, it was going to be a good day. It made them remember the moon goddess had their interests at heart. They felt it but never was able to fathom what exactly was going to happen. The only people who were privileged to such knowledge were the Witches usually referred to as the Nights. They were augurs and sibyls meaning they could foresee the future, read people’s minds, and offer judgments to offenders. They were rare in ShadowClaw. Their lineage was wiped off several years ago by Tristan’s great-great-grandfather who saw them as rebellious to his reign. Whenever beautiful mornings such as this one arose in ShadowClaw the pack me
Tanya’s POVThe morning was oddly beautiful, the birds chirped with so much enthusiasm and the dew that rested on the plants was too fresh. I could feel deep in me that there was something off about it. Stepping out of Moonlight Haven to begin my day, I noticed the usually quiet streets were unusually quiet, I began to wonder what was wrong. On reaching school, the same thing was happening. Was there a holiday I didn’t know about? The school environment was scanty; there were no students. I stood still for about ten minutes impatiently looking around to see if anyone would walk through the gate, when there was no sign of anybody, I walked out of the gate. I didn’t understand what was going on, I walked back home and still saw fewer people by the roadsides. I met Ethan when I got home, he was reading a book on the alchemy of souls. I quickly remembered the book I saw in the drawer yesterday. He looked up at me and smiled, his eyes sparkled with delight, even if his goggles were on, I c
Tristan’s POVAfter the meetings I had for the day, I decided to go to the water fountain in the woods to meditate and process the conversation that went down between my wolf and my father earlier. That water fountain had been my spot since I was a child, my mother would usually bring me here after my rigorous training. I took off my clothes and shifted, allowing Sky to take control, he loved it when he was on the surface, he’d play around and howl loudly making sure the other wolves knew that he was about to step out. He quickly stormed into the woods, running through the thick forest like it was nothing and after a few minutes, we were at the fountain. I wanted to shift to my human form when her scent engulfed me. “She is here, but how? In these thick woods all by herself? Sky began to impatiently look around for her, we followed her scent and it led us to the fountain. There she was, sitting pretty, her dark brown fell loosely beside her jaw and some to her back. Her slender legs w
Tristan was overwhelmed with everything that was going on thus his frustrations, he did not know how to handle everything. The rogue’s attacks on his pack were becoming too much, but he was still thankful that at least the rogues that came so far were the ones he could easily take care of, his main worry was the men he lost during the attacks. He decided to hasten up his chase on Tanya, he needed her to complete him. The next morning, immediately he completed his usual morning routine, he went to the healer’s to see his wounded guard, he was still unconscious but the healer informed him that he was responding to the treatment far, he felt relieved and drove back to Mystique University. Tarrell gave him information that she was at the Library and he sat outside waiting for her. Most of the students saw him and recognized him as the alpha and came closer to pay due respect, the girls looked at him lustfully and attempted to make seductive passes at him but he ignored them, he was alread
