The park was buzzing with youthful teens as the picnic was in full swing. It was only three in the afternoon, and the music was blaring from the speakers as everyone mingled, ate, and danced.
Meanwhile, at the pack house, the girls were trying to convince Calypso to put on shorts, but she was refusing. “Come on Cally! It’s not like you’re not going to look good.”
Calypso shook her head. “If you think my arms are skinny, then you don’t want to see my legs!”
Isyss rolled her eyes. “They can’t be THAT bad.”
“Look guys, we all know that I’m skinny, and that’s why I haven’t worn any short things for as long as I can remember. Can I please just go in sweat pants?” Calypso pleaded. They could hear the insecurity in her voice.
“Alright fine! But you have to make the look work,” Ilea warned.
“In fact, I’ll dress you!” Cassidy
Calypso was still trying to regain her breath when arms wrapped themselves around her. She was in too much pain to even complain as she was lifted from the ground and carried back into the bathrooms. She was sat on the counter next to the sinks before she was tended to as an awkward silence took over.“Are you supposed to even be in here?” she broke the silence with a small smile.“No, but I couldn’t very well leave you out there. Anyone with a problem will just have to suck it up,” he returned a smile as he continued to treat her.She blushed. “Thanks for saving me.”“It was the least I could do after this afternoon,” he said guiltily.“It’s ok,” she shrugged before wincing. She’d landed on her shoulder when she was dropped.He sighed. “No, it wasn’t ok Calypso and I really am sorry for that. I don’t know why I reacted that way.”&ld
“CHANNING??” they all shouted in confusion.“Why are you even holding hands?” Isaiah asked.“What did he do to you?” Cain growled.Isla gasped when the lights were turned on, revealing Calypso’s bruised face. “What happened to your face?”“What did you do to her?” Beck growled at Channing. As intimidating as he was, Channing didn’t let go of Calypso’s hand.“Are you done?” Calypso asked them.“Yes,” they replied.“I went to the bathroom a while ago and as I was walking out, I was ambushed by Charice and her friends. I was punched on both my cheeks, kicked twice in the stomach and choked once during that confrontation, but Channing here got to me before they could do any more damage. He got them to leave me alone. When they were gone, he cleaned up my wounds and we hung out together from then. Oh, he’s also my new boyfriend
They continued the rest of her training session and she proved to be really determined, which surprised the two guys. As tired as she was, she wanted to prove to herself and the guys that she could really do it. By the time she was done, she was tired, but she was already halfway with her training.Cain couldn’t believe it. All they had to do was go over the last few moves and then practice them until she perfected them. Not even his werewolf subjects had grasped anything that fast. What he noticed though, was that a little bit of her enhanced abilities had seeped through, and he wasn’t quite sure what that meant as yet.“Cally! That was amazing!” Isaiah was the first to comment.She looked up, still catching her breath. “What was?”“How quickly you grasped everything and just how you moved. It normally takes the average werewolf two weeks to do what you just did,” Isaiah explained.&
“GO!” Cain shouted.The gathered pack members watched in amazement as Calypso took on three werewolves blindfolded. One was in human form and the other two had shifted into their wolves. Since she didn’t have enhanced abilities, they allowed her to use weapons of her choice as she’d also mastered weapons training.It was almost a month since her first training session with Cain and Isaiah, yet she had mastered what most werewolves took three months to master in just three weeks.For weapons, she’d chosen a long metal rod and her knives, which she’d received as a random gift from Channing. He’d also surprisingly gotten Cassidy a set too since the girls loved training together. They were the duo to not mess with.Calypso had cleared her mind so that she could be able to focus on her surroundings, something Ronny had taught her. She was surprised that he of all people was such an expert at the centred life, but he&rs
“He loves you, but he’s not your mate. I know what I’m about to say will probably confuse you, but you must love him back. If he ever confesses his love for you, confess it right back. I know you feel it in your heart, and while he’s not your mate, he was meant to come into your life for this. Accept it and accept him,” the pendant told her.“Ok, but why is it important that I love him back?” she asked curiously.“Because child, you will need him in the future, and only his love will save you,” the pendant vaguely replied.“Will I know more?” she asked.“In time! Some truths are coming sooner than you know. I know I’m not the most tolerable person since I’m a pendant and all, but it is important that you trust in me,” the pendant pleaded.
They left the salon after saying thank you once more before heading out. They headed to different stores, finding the perfect outfits for the night. Calypso figured that they were going to be taking things easy with the kind of outfits the girls seemed to be looking for.“So Cally, you guys said the big three words huh?” Ilea smiled.Calypso blushed. “Yeah! It was just in the moment you know?”“Aaaaw, but aren’t you guys worried about finding your true mates?” Isla asked.“We both know that our true mates are out there, and we’ve discussed it. We’ve agreed that should any of us meet our true mate, then we’re going to split on good terms, but I guess with being together the way that we are, love was inevitable. Even if he finds his true mate, I will always love him you know? He’s been a very big part of my life,” Calypso explained.“Are you sure you’re not atta
“Channing doesn’t have a girlfriend! You people are just wasting my time,” Tiffany snapped.“Uh, whatever you say Tiffany! Are we all ready to go?” Beck asked.“Yep!” Cassidy said as they got up to leave.“WHERE ARE YOU PEOPLE GOING?” Tiffany screeched.“Baby, have you seen my leather jacket?” Calypso asked Channing. Tiffany watched on confusedly since everyone else had chosen to ignore her.“Which one baby girl? You have like ten of those things,” Channing teased. Tiffany’s eyes widened.“SHE’S YOUR GIRLFRIEND?” Tiffany screamed.“Would you shut up already!” someone shouted inside the pack house, followed by snickers from the different pack members, Calypso and Channing included.“I want the white one with the golden studs,” Calypso told Channing.“I think it’s at the apartment. We ca
Channing got up and looked around, his eyes landing on the two girls he had in his bed. Sleeping on the couch was uncomfortable, but he’d do anything for them. Calypso and Cassidy had passed out together, so he carried them to his room.He knew they would appreciate waking up together.He couldn’t help but smile when he noticed that they were hugging each other. Even in their sleep they were close. While he was in love with Calypso, he treated Cassidy like a little sister. She had even commented that he treated her as more of a brother than Isaiah himself, but he couldn’t help it.She’s special to Calypso and Calypso was everything to him.He quietly left the room, bothered by his thoughts as something was nagging him. While they’d come back around three, he hadn’t been able to sleep. It was now a little before six as he made his way downstairs. He wasn’t surprised to hear movement. The pack was
