“ I haven’t seen your face before “ He started sniffing .


“ You are a wolf! Why do you look so scared ? You haven’t seen someone shift like that before “ He added .


“ Wolf ? Me ? Oh please …No I am not and No ! I haven’t seen that before “ I scoffed , I was hoping he would offer a hand to help me up but he didn’t, he just stood there , staring at me , like I was the one who just shifted from wolf to a hot looking boy .


“ You are new around here , I can tell …Stay out of my path , i hate slugs and you just prove that you are one …A Slug!” He laughed and before I could fire back , he took off .


“ Slug ? My Name is Lilly…” I yelled , i looked around and it was now dark .


“ She is never coming….i have been abandoned…Again”

*****

I was going to spend the night here and first thing tomorrow morning, I am finding my way back home .

“ Dad …Does she even wants me to stay with her ? I mean she couldn’t even pick me up …Monica drove all the way here and she still isn’t here , I just got jumped by a wolf boy, I am about to spend the night in some old abandoned house …Why did you have to die ? How am I going to do life without you ? How am I going to ?”

I was in the middle of my ranting when i heard a knock on the door , I immediately grabbed my heaviest book as weapon , who knows what could be waiting for me when I opened it .

“ Lilly …Are you in there ?”

I heard a voice call out , it was a woman , was she finally here , I dropped the book , immediately stood up , my heart was racing again , I was nervous , this was the first time I will be meeting my mother , I took a deep breath and rushed to open the door .

“ What took you so long ?” I said as I opened the door , I lifted my eyes and our eyes met .

This wasn’t the woman in the picture .

“ Who are you ? “ I asked.

“ Your aunty …matilda, Awww you are so cute , You look so much like Amber , Damn ! That’s a striking resemblance…You are her kid for sure “

The lady kept on Yapping and I just stood there , I was disappointed, so much for meeting my mother for the first time , she couldn’t pick me up from centervile and she couldn’t make it here too , how did dad fall in love with someone so cruel .

“ Hey…” She waved and I smiled at her , she looked nice , she had the energy monica had , there was a smile on her face , she looked bubbly, like she had been anticipating to see me , she rushed inside and grabbed my bags .

“ I am sorry Amber couldn’t come …She’s busy “

“ I can handle my bag , don’t worry “

“ Oh no …I have been anticipating to see you , i cooked , I prepared your room for you , I did a lot …when your mom called me and said she couldn’t pick you up , I took on the task immediately…I have been dying to meet you since I heard I got a niece …”

“ Exciting…And my mom , is she happy to see me ?”

“ Uhhh…Yes …” She replied instantly.

We took all my bags outside and she locked the house .

“ Is this your house ?” I asked as we walked to her truck .

“ It’s Amber’s , She sleeps here whenever she goes for a field trip in the big cities “

“ I see …Amber sounds interesting ”

“ Yeah your mom is quite a character “

“ Hop in ! I am taking you to your new home …Raven Pack ! You are going to love it !”

“ Raven pack ? That’s one creepy name …”

“ It’s just as creepy as the name “

“ Are you serious?”

“ No ! I am just kidding…You’re going to love it there , it’s where I lived my whole life , it’s an amazing town “

“ Town ? Isn’t it like a pack ?”

“ It’s a pack…i mean where a bunch of wolf stays is a pack right ? But we are in a modern world, Are we not? It’s far from what you were told in history class …it’s just like your city except they’re no humans “

“ I am Human “ I cut in .

“ I know …But nobody else knows that “ She smiled at me and I just sighed , she had such a good energy , and was humming as she drove into the city , she was right , it was just like Centervile but different , the aura here was different, the house were built differently, they dressed differently too but it wasn’t what I expected, they were cars, good building, I saw a bunch of teenagers riding a bike , it felt even developed than my own city .

“ They lied to you in history class …” She laughed when she noticed how shocked I was and I giggled .

“ Tell me about my mom…” I asked .

“ Your mom is a lot …She’s a beautiful , educated, perfectionist, she’s what you called the perfect woman and she’s the pack doctor ! That adds to her aura point “

“ She’s a doctor ?” I gasped , my dad left that part out which is surprising because I was obsessed with medicine and he didn’t mention my mom was a doctor .

“ Yup …Like a healer …Do you believe in those kind of stuff ?”

“ Nope !”

“ Well brace yourself for it , they’re a lot of things in Raven high that might look like fantasy to you …”

“ Like what ?”

“ Chat is over ! We are home …” She stopped the car and I looked outside , the house was beautiful, it was a thousand times bigger than my house in centervile and my house was big , I rushed out and I looked around , there were little to no houses around , just gardens , a lake , and another building opposite it .

“ That’s your mom’s clinic…you are going to be in there with her a lot …”

“ Why ?”

“ Welcome !”

A voice came from behind and I turned slowly , it was her.

“ Mom …” I muttered low enough that only I could hear , and she was beautiful even more beautiful than the pictures , blue eyes , brunette hair,she was tall , she had unique facial feature and her sister was right , I looked like her , she was just the prettier version .

“ Hello Lily…” She smiled at me , I just stood there , I didn’t know if I could hug her , that was what my head was saying but I couldn’t, one moment I was admiring her the other moment , my hatred for her came back .

“ Hi …” I responded bluntly.

“ Welcome to Raven Pack …I have been expecting you “

“ I don’t think you have been …Monica drove me from centerrvile and you couldn’t pick me up! That doesn’t sound like you were expecting me at all …”

“ Ouuuu…she has a sharp mouth like yours “ Matilda laughed .

“ Take her bags inside …I want to have a little chat with her “ She said her eyes still locked in mine , matilda moved closer to her and whispered , maybe she felt it was low enough and I couldn’t hear .

“ Why don’t you wait till dawn …it’s late and she’s probably tired “

“ She can say what she wants to say ! I plan on leaving tomorrow anyways !”

“ What ?” The sisters echoed .

“ Yeah …so let’s have the chat , shall we ?”

    Amber parked the car, but none of us got out immediately. We sat there for a few seconds, listening to the engine die.My heartbeat had become so loud that it almost drowned out everything else.Amber reached over and took my hand.“You remember what I told you?”I nodded.“Good.”Maltilda smiled at me.“No matter what they say in there… you are still our Lily. Do not break down.”I swallowed the lump in my throat.“I know.”The three of us stepped out together.The moment we reached the entrance, two guards approached us.“They’re waiting.”One of them pushed the large chamber doors open. The room was already full.Unlike the public verdict held after the festival, this one was quieter. Only members of the council, important families, and a handful of invited witnesses had been allowed inside.Even so… it still felt like every eye in the room landed on me.I lowered my head and followed Amber inside. As expected, my eyes first searched for Rex.He was seated beside his mother. He lo

    Life in Raven had continued, but mine hadn’t. Ever since Rex left that day, everything inside me had gone quiet, even my wolf.I kept telling myself the same thing over and over.Move on, Lily.You have to move on.He deserved someone who didn’t begin your relationship with a lie. Someone who didn’t make him question every memory the two of you shared.I inhaled slowly. I wanted to be that someone, but I wasn’t.“I’ll move on.”The words sounded convincing, but I didn’t mean them, not one bit. My chest became so heavy so suddenly that I had to press a hand against it.“I can’t…”I whispered the truth before I could stop myself.“I can’t move on.”My wolf must also be curled up somewhere inside me, quietly carrying the same sadness. Our chances of being close to our mate were gone now.“Lily? It’s time for dinner.”Maltilda’s voice came from outside my room.“I’m not hungry.”“You’ve said that for three meals now.”I closed my eyes. I really didn’t have any appetite for food right now.

    Rex hadn’t opened his bedroom door since he returned from Amber’s house, even when the room had become suffocating.He had all of Lily’s stuff scattered around him, just staring at them. The ribbon she had tied around his wrist weeks ago was still there.The half-written birthday letter he had hidden inside a drawer because he wanted to surprise her after the festival was also by his side.He had planned everything to be perfect, but all he could think about was the way she looked at him before walking away.“Maybe we should give each other space to heal from this.”Those words refused to leave his head.He sat on the floor beside his bed, his elbows resting on his knees while he buried his face in his palms.A knock came from outside.“Rex?”He didn’t answer. His mom had been knocking earlier, and now she was back.“Honey…”Paula sighed outside the door, still knocking.“I know you’re awake.”She leaned against the door.“You haven’t eaten since yesterday. You don’t even want to shou

    Maltilda sat outside the house with a basket resting on her lap.The morning breeze carried the scent of fresh herbs through the small garden. Normally, this would have been one of her favorite parts of the day. She would hum to herself while separating leaves and roots for Amber before Lily came outside to keep her company.Today…It was just her, the following days had been weighing a lot on everyday and today was even a mixed of bitter and sweet , Amber still had to attend to patients even with everything going on , she had obligations to do so . She had gone to Raven Academy earlier today to pack her things while the students were still awake , she couldn’t bring herself to shed tears because she knew it wasn’t goodbye , it can’t be . But for now, she was just going to face the consequences of her actions, it’s not like she really had a choice. She carefully plucked another leaf from its stem before dropping it into the basket.A shadow suddenly fell across the herbs, it was a m

    The festival had ended days ago, but the academy was still on break, leaving the halls empty. Most students wandered around the pack, talking about only one person Lily.No matter where anyone went, her name somehow found its way into the conversation.Anastasia was tired of hearing it so she decided to stay indoor until school was back in session. .She knelt in the small garden behind her house, carefully trimming the stems of her mother's roses. Gardening had always calmed her down. Today, however, she was barely paying attention.She had already cut one flower too short."...Oops."She sighed and dropped the scissors beside her.Her mother stepped out through the back door with a basket in her hands."You have a visitor."Anastasia didn't even look up."If it's another person coming to ask me about Lily, tell them I don't know anything.""It's not one of the neighbors."Her mother responded "I'll leave you two."She walked away before Anastasia could ask who it was.A few secon

    I stood up before I could change my mind.“The only way we’ll know if Rex really can’t feel it… is if I face him,” I said.Amber looked up at me immediately.“Lily…”“He deserves an explanation.”Maltilda folded her arms. “A few minutes ago you said you weren’t ready.”“I wasn’t.” I swallowed. “But hiding from him isn’t making anything better.”“What if your wolf loses control the moment she sees him?”I looked toward the window. Rex’s car was still parked outside. He hadn’t left, I wasn’t going to let him just stay there and he had made it clear that he wasn’t going to leave until we spoke so it would be better if we just talked about it , there was no need to keep running from confrontation. “I don’t know what will happen,” I admitted. “I won’t know until I try.”Amber walked over and squeezed my shoulder.“If anything feels wrong, you come back inside immediately.”I nodded.“I will.”I took one deep breath before walking toward the stairs..How do you face the person you love aft

    Nightfall was already approaching, and Lily was still nowhere to be found. She had promised to return before nightfall. Amber was seated outside, waiting for her. “Should I go over to the house?” Amber said, pacing around the front yard. She had been counting down to when Lily would walk in. Amb

    “What did you just say to me?”Amber stepped away from me, but I grabbed her hand, my lips trembling.“What did you just say to me?” I repeated, my voice demanding answers while my brain refused to process what I had just heard.“How did I give birth to someone so stupid,” she repeated, yanking her

    Rex just stared at me. His lips parted slightly, like he wanted to say something, but no words came out.“Just leave me alone… please,” I pleaded. My voice sounded painfully weak, even though I tried to steady it.“You should go back inside. You don’t look so good.” He reached for my hand.I pushed

    Still, she didn’t say anything.I was slowly losing my patience, and the silence was killing me. I just wished she would talk , shout, cry, scold me anything but sit there like that.“Okay…”That was all she said.All that waiting just for her to say…“Okay?” I mumbled.She nodded.“It’s not like
