Having spaced out linking her mate, she’d missed hearing the bell, and Calypso wasn’t beside her. She could hear a ruckus going on outside and she rushed to find everyone running to the cafeteria. Upon entry, she felt her heart drop to her toes as she took in the scene before her. Her much weaker best friend was in the middle of an arm wrestle with the Beta to be of the pack, but that’s not what her blood running cold.
Almost half of Calypso’s face was swelling and it looked like she had a broken nose from the blood running from it, and yet no-one else cared. They were all instead entertained by the death match that her best friend had decided to sign up for.
When the charade was over, that’s how they found themselves in the bathroom, with Calypso spacing out again.
“Cally, please talk to me! What the hell is going on with you today? Who hit you?” Samantha begged.
“Oh, I asked Polly to punch me and she willingly obliged, twice,” Calypso smiled. Samantha could feel her blood boiling. Polly is the bitch of the pack, amongst the teens that is, since her sister is the biggest bitch in the pack.
“WHAT? YOU ASKED HER TO PUNCH YOU? WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU TODAY?” Samantha shouted, causing Calypso to flinch.
“I don’t know,” Calypso admitted in a whisper as tears rushed to her eyes.
She wouldn’t know how to explain it, but she wanted to be punched for some reason. She wanted to challenge Killian, even though she knows that he’s much stronger than her. It was a strong urge, but at the same time, the pain felt all too familiar to her. It was almost as though she welcomed it, like something dark was consuming her sense of righteousness.
Samantha threw her arms around her fragile best friend. She couldn’t even begin to imagine what Calypso was going through. She had already shifted and she was one of the strongest she-wolves in the pack, so she honestly didn’t know any weaknesses, or at least not as severely as Calypso.
“Sammy, you know that I love and appreciate you right?” Calypso asked her.
“Why do you sound like you’re telling me your dying words?” Samantha teased.
“I just want you to know. You and Danny mean the world to me and I would be nowhere without you,” Calypso squeezed her. Something felt wrong about this moment to Samantha, but she was just going to let Calypso have it.
“We love you too Cally! More than you will ever understand!” Samantha assured.
“Good! Let’s get me cleaned up and continue with this horridly confusing day,” Calypso said with the ghost of a smile on her face.
They got Calypso cleaned up before heading out of the bathrooms. Everyone went off, commenting about Calypso’s injuries which weren’t healing obviously, but once again, she blocked them out. Samantha was actually amused to find out that they were all getting annoyed at the fact that they weren’t affecting her anymore.
“I have that thing with my parents this afternoon. Do you think you can handle not doing anything crazy until I come back?” Samantha asked her as they made their way back to the pack house.
“I’m seventeen Sammy. I’ll be fine without you for a few hours! You worry too much,” Calypso sighed.
‘You have no idea just how much,’ Samantha thought to herself.
“I just want you safe Cally. There’s surely no sin in that,” Samantha smiled.
“I suppose not,” Calypso returned a timid smile. Her face felt like it was on fire still.
“There’s an icepack in our room fridge, so just grab that on your way to your room,” Samantha told her as they reached the pack house.
Calypso rolled her eyes. “Will do mum!”
Samantha mock glared at her. “Don’t sass me young lady!”
“See you later Sammy,” Calypso smiled, closing the door to the car.
“Stay safe Cally,” Samantha replied before driving away.
Calypso knew that Samantha would try and make sure that whatever she was doing with her parents didn’t take too long because she always worried too much about her, especially since they can’t link seeing as she hasn’t shifted.
She also knew that Samantha would want out of there because she doesn’t really get along with her family since they don’t understand why she insists on befriending the Omega when she’s the Luna to be. To them, she should be surrounded by the stronger females of the pack, but Samantha will have none of that.
Calypso made her way inside the pack house unnoticed, and for that she was grateful. The pack house was big, but not the biggest she’d heard of. Her room was on the same floor as the higher ranked members to be of the pack, much to the dismay of the rest of the pack. Jordan and Samantha wanted her close to them, and no-one dared to defy their future Alphas, which is why her room is right across from theirs.
She entered their room as instructed, though she was feeling slightly light headed. Jordan and Samantha’s room was a mixture of them both, and Samantha had been the one to decorate it when they decided to share a room just six months ago. It was modern and neutral, catering to the both of them. She grabbed the ice pack and left the room, only to bump into the last person she wanted to.
“What were you doing in the Alpha’s room?” he demanded as he had her in a chokehold.
“I was fetching an icepack,” she held it up. She didn’t expect to be struck on her already throbbing cheek as she was simultaneously dropped.
“YOU’RE STEALING FROM THE ALPHAS?” he roared, kicking her side.
“What? No! Sammy said I should take the ice pack from their room for my cheek,” she barely managed to say with the stars dancing about her vision.
“You’re an abomination! You should just disappear from here! No-one wants you here!” he scorned.
She just nodded and crawled into her room with the ice pack in hand. For the first ten minutes, she didn’t move as the coolness of the icepack worked on her cheek. The pain in her side had just dulled. She felt the emptiness swallow her again, except this time warmth was radiating from her chest. Frowning at the new feeling, she looked down to find that her chest was glowing, or at least something was glowing under the t-shirt she had on.
She reached for the pendant around her neck and pulled it out to find the sapphire eyes on the gold wolf were the ones that were glowing. She was awed at the sight and she reached out to touch the eyes, only to be zapped by the object before the glowing disappeared.
It took a few seconds before her senses heightened to new levels, which she wasn’t used to. Everything was clearer to her, but as quickly as the feeling came, it left, leaving her to the normal senses she was already accustomed to. She didn’t know what had just happened and the pendant was back to normal.
“Leave,” a voice wafted in her head. She looked around her, frantically searching for the source of the voice, but finding that she was alone in the room.
“Calypso, get up and leave!” the voice demanded. The tone was silky, but she still felt the demand.
“Where am I going?” she asked out loud.
“Get up and leave this place. Take whatever you need and leave,” the voice told her.
“What about Sammy and Danny?” Calypso asked.
“Would you just leave?” the voice said impatiently.
Calypso found herself listening to the voice as she reached into her closet and pulled out a bag. She packed some clothes and shoes, making sure she could still carry the bag. She packed more essentials, as well some of the food that she had in the room.
She didn’t have all that much money, and she didn’t know where she was going. She threw on a warm jacket when she noticed the weather changing outside and changed her slippers for sneakers. She grabbed her phone, which Samantha and Jordan had bought her for her birthday.
She was contemplating leaving a note, and she decided to. She grabbed a piece of paper and wrote down the note. Taking one last look at her room, she left. She made one stop, before leaving, not knowing where to go, but trusting whatever force was leading her away to lead her to the right place.
She left unnoticed once more and it was getting dark outside. She felt giddiness and fear overcome her at once as she left towards the forbidden part of the woods. She never understood why that part of the woods was forbidden to pack members, but something in her was telling her to head that way. The trees in this part were considerably scarier as the sunlight almost completely disappeared from sight, even though it was still out.
She hoped that her instincts were right.
Calypso felt like she’d been walking for a while when she came to the end of the woods. She was somewhat disappointed by the journey. For woods that were proclaimed to have been so dark, she didn’t understand what the big deal was.She sat down and smiled to herself, until she felt a chilling presence beside her. She fearfully looked up, only to be met by curious, red eyes. Deep inside, she knew she had nothing to fear as the guy sat down next to her, even though he was probably as white as milk itself.“Hello there beautiful,” his silky voice was accompanied by a lazy smile.“Hi,” she shyly replied with a blush. Besides Samantha and Jordan, no-one else had ever called her beautiful.“What’s a sweet little thing like you doing in such a dangerous place, at this time of day?” he asked.She frowned. “Would you believe me if I told you that a voice told me to leave my home and all I know, and
“No,” Samantha whispered as numbness took over.“She left you guys this,” Clara said, handing over the note she found in Calypso’s room. By now everyone was gathering around to find out what was going on.Jordan and Samantha stood side by side as they read the short note from their best friend:Dear Sammy and DannyI don’t know how else to tell you this, but I’m leaving. I’m not sure why I’m leaving, but I am. I think it’s something I have to do since something in me says I have to.I don’t know when I’m going to see you again, and I know that you’re going to go looking for me as soon as you see this, but something tells me you won’t find me. You’re going to have to be patient I guess. I’ll see you guys again soon enough; that’s if I don’t die from this journey.I love you guys more than you will ever kno
Killian made it back to the pack house in the early hours of the morning, and everyone was already asleep. He wasn’t all that surprised to find Jordan and Samantha in the kitchen as he went to drink water. He was already angry at them, which is why he didn’t say anything to them. He was about to walk out of the kitchen when they stopped him.“Is she your mate?” Jordan came out with it.“I don’t know but I’m crazy protective of her, even more than the two of you apparently,” Killian mumbled the last part.“Your wolf would’ve recognized her if she was,” Samantha commented.“My wolf would’ve recognized hers if she was, but since her wolf hasn’t exactly surfaced, I wouldn’t know,” Killian corrected. Samantha and Jordan knew that he had a point.“Did you find her?” Samantha dared to ask. The look she received in return told her how stupid her ques
Tyson Cannon was sitting in his office, going through some documents. In the back of his mind, he was thinking about the revolution that the vampires had decided to start against their own Royals. He found it ridiculous because he found nothing wrong with wanting power. He himself relished in it, and he was sure that he was the prophesised Great Alpha. He had all the signs and status, so it was only a matter of time before it kicked in.“Alpha, the vampires are in town again,” Beck, his Beta alerted him.“Let’s go,” Tyson said, dropping everything.He wanted to have a word with the elite vampires he’d heard were around, but every time he tried, they would disappear and he was hoping that this time would be different. He headed into his sports car and sped to the town, with Beck and his Enforcer, Cain in tow. They parked their cars and quickly headed into the mall.“Any idea where to from here?” Tyson asked B
Killian came back into the house from a refreshing run and ran up to his room to take a quick shower. He wasn’t all that surprised to step out of the shower in his towel to find Polly lying on his bed in just her underwear.He sighed in annoyance. “You just don’t give up, do you?”“Come on Killian! You can’t possibly resist all this,” she purred, or at least attempted to. It sounded wrong to his ears.“Polly, I don’t have time for you, and I never will, so do yourself a favour and get out,” he smiled politely.“You will give in to me one of these days Killian!” she said determinedly before storming out of the room. He shook his head and stepped into his closet to get dressed. He was taken aback to find Samantha on his bed this time. Thankfully she was dressed but she was in tears.“Sam?” he frowned.“I’m sorry ok? You were right! We should’v
Calypso felt herself being shaken and her sapphire eyes opened to be met by hazel eyes that had her heart fluttering. For a split second, they held worry and an emotion she could only pinpoint as love, before they were clouded by blankness. She frowned when the person moved back, only to reveal a guy who made her feel funny.He was frowning at her. “What the hell was that?”“I take it you’re referring to the nightmares I seem to be getting lately. Just so you know, you’re about the tenth person to tell me about them, and for the record, I don’t remember this, neither do I know what the nightmare was about,” she amazed herself by explaining. Even the guy in the room looked stunned.“You have quite the mouth on you,” he admitted.“I also don’t know who you are, or where I am,” she noted. His voice was familiar, but she couldn’t pinpoint from where.“My name is Tyson,&
Tyson felt himself get angrier by the second. “How old are you?”“Seventeen,” Calypso maintained her cool. She couldn’t find it in herself to fear him.“How the fuck haven’t you shifted at seventeen?” Tyson asked angrily.“I don’t know, and it’s none of your business!” Calypso snapped, not liking his behaviour.The room went silent as Beck and Isla froze at the door. The two of them, together with Cain, watched on in fear as Tyson’s eyes gradually turned black in Calypso’s direction. What made them even more anxious was the fact that Calypso didn’t look the least bit afraid as she stared their Alpha down.Tyson’s eyes were black as night. “You dare to disrespect me?”“No! How dare you try and invade my privacy, and then have the audacity to feel offended when I stand up for myself!” Calypso shot back. By now Cain, Beck, and
When they got outside, Calypso wasn’t sure what to expect, but she was ok with what she saw. The place wasn’t all that lavish, and the people looked nice enough as they walked to the hospital. The walk was short and filled with small chatter. Soon they reached the hospital and entered, going straight to the pack doctor’s office.“Dr Holt,” Beck said, getting the man’s attention. He looked to be in his mid-forties.“Beck! Is this the girl?” Dr Holt questioned when his eyes landed on Calypso.“Yep! Dr Holt, meet Calypso Henriques. Cally, meet Dr Nicholas Holt, our pack doctor,” Beck introduced.“It’s a pleasure to meet you,” Calypso said politely.“No my dear, it’s an honour to meet you. Please, have a seat and tell me what you’d like me to do,” Dr Holt directed to his couches.“Well Dr Holt, as you can see, she’s deathly skinny, b
