Hayley Blake
It had already dawned and my wounds were already healed, the result of
a long night of sleep and rest, I was already renewed by
morning and ready for long run through the forest.
Pure adrenaline made my heart beat fast inside my
breast because of the high speed that I ran through the forest. Could
feel in every cell of my body the freedom that I loved so much, the
that gave me more willingness to continue my race. The wind
strong hit my face as I swerved from the trees and branches that
hindered my path.
The strong odor of animal blood made my wolf salivate with such
temptation.
The day was dawning, I could see the sun coming out of the mountains and
its first rays hit my face full, bringing me a
feeling of inner peace. My hair ended up hitting my
face because of the speed I was traveling that morning. It was the
arrival of spring, my favorite time of the year, where the flowers
and decorated the old village that lived. Always in this
time me, Becca and Melissa collected some flowers and put them in
vases with water, I always opted for lilies, my favorites.
Sweat dripped down my face, making some rebellious strands
stuck on the side of my face. My breath was racing, it made
just over an hour I ran non-stop. I wore a mini
skirt/shorts and a dark blue top, costumes that would not disturb my training.
In the distance I could see the house of Jackson, snorted frustrated for having
back to that tedious place. Decreased my steps as the
entrance was closer.
As soon as I entered the house I heard a conversation coming from the dining room.
I walked quietly there and when I entered the place, everyone was silent.
-She finally came back-I heard Madison’s voice sound debauched.
He smiled sideways as he blinked in his direction. I passed my eyes by
all at the table and my heart calmed down to find my family
there, Madison bit an apple and the scratch on her face was still visible
of my brother. I chose to ignore Jackson and the wolves next to him, pretended
that Diana’s presence didn’t bother me.
I stared at Isaac for long seconds, just to make sure she
was well and soon diverted my attention to Clary sitting next
of him.
If it bothers you to ask the question, I’m well-claimed ironic me
staring at.
Great was just what you said before you directed me out of the room,
that environment wasn’t the best for me at the time.
And Becca’s in the kitchen, doing whatever the blonde added.
I stopped halfway and pulled the air hard before turning around and
face Jackson, and as expected his attention was all on me.
I lifted my chin in affront and kept my face so indifferent
how much he -We need to talk-declared and he just nodded, his
His countenance was so neutral, but his eyes cried out for me.
I turned my back to the table and walked quickly to the kitchen,
finding Becca with her back to me. Upon noticing my presence,
turned to me.
I thought you wouldn’t come back, you wild wolf-talking smiling.
I frown at your excitement.
-Why all the excitement? -I asked sitting at the counter,
while she turned around again. Clary arrived in the kitchen eating a
and threw himself into one of the chairs.
-Aiden will take me for a trip-she said euphoric and I leaned
on the kitchen counter.
Travel? -asked me and Clary at the same time.
-That she confirmed. Like a second honeymoon, you know? -Said and I did
grimace.
Okay, unnecessary scene-I shook my head negatively.
You have to take provocative lingerie, said Clary out of nowhere, squeezed the
lips not to laugh. Or maybe a sexy cop costume and
little hat see...
Ok, ok, I get it said Becca shaking her head negatively.
My laughter sounded all over the kitchen.
When are you planning to go?
-In a few days-confirmed turning around with a dish in his hands. No
dish had a large waffles covered in chocolate syrup, with
whipped cream and berries.
-Oh my moon - I exclaimed feeling my mouth salivate with that
wonder.
-I made for you-spoke Becca handing me the plate, opened a smile
big and stared with raised eyebrows.
Did Madison bewitch you? I asked jokingly.
-What funny-debauched me delivering a glass of natural juice from
strawberry. -We’re staying a few weeks in San Francisco and I wanted to do
that farewell-smiled proud.
-You’re my favorite, you know? -smiles taking a fork and cutting
that piece of heaven. I took it to my mouth and groaned with pleasure to feel
that sweet taste in my tongue-that’s pretty good.
I offered it to Clary who denied it.
I do not like said the fox.
-What? What do you mean? I asked without believing what I was hearing.
I just don’t like shrugging.
You’re very strange, I said back to eating.
-Is it better? Becca asked Clary.
-I am yes she said smiling aside.
I took the glass of juice and stared at Kitsune.
-What happened yesterday? Tell us everything-asked and she sighed, crossing the
arms.
-Aiden asked me to bring you some clothes and that was when
I went into the forest and those males suddenly appeared-their
throat fluctuated. -They said I would be useful on the Blood-Moon
I choked on the juice-And that their boss would be happy to have a
fox. I got angry and used my powers to get away, but went
take and injected something into me, after that I erased-explained.
-It was tranquilizer-informed Becca.
My stomach was all wrapped up, I put the glass on the counter, no
I was able to swallow at that moment with repulsion growing
inside me.
-You’re telling me they’re kidnapping werewolves to the moon from
Blood? -My question came out almost like a growl.
That’s what they said, confirming my suspicions.
I lost my breath for a few seconds and swallowed dry.
-Hayley? You know what that means, Rebecca’s voice trembled from
hate. Clary sent a confused look to both of us, she didn’t know
our traditions and customs.
And what does that mean? she wanted to know.
It means those worms are capturing females for...
use on the Blood Moon to satiate their sick desires.
Clary paled as she understood my words, for a moment I thought she was gonna throw up.
-Please...-Did she begin to tell Me that they suffered before dying? -
asked cold, I saw the fragility and fear in his eyes. I chose not to
tell that one of them was still alive, he would not last long
after I questioned him.
-Don’t worry, Clary, they’re burning in hell now-guaranteed
and she let out a sigh of relief. -I promise you none of this
will happen to you again.
Kitsune denied it with her head, dropping a bitter laugh through her nose.
Her blonde hair was stuck in a bad bun, and her skin
Her lips were still pale, colorless.
-Don’t make promises you can’t keep, Hayley-she said and I
stiffen.
-I will keep them safe, assured them once more, but she does not
seemed to believe my words and that fact made my chest if
press hard.
You can’t protect everybody and stay alive, not in our
world.
I licked my dry lips, bothered by her statements. It was mine
duty, my obligation to keep my family safe.
Through them I had submitted to a new reality, to accept the
claim and there was nothing I wouldn’t do to keep them alive.
As long as the heart in my chest keeps beating, I’ll fight for
keep them alive and safe, that’s a promise I’ll only break if I’m killed.
I felt Rebecca’s touch on my shoulder, I stared and my sister-in-law me
sent a comforting smile. I let go of my hands that were
closed and blinked a few times.
-We believe you, Hayley-she said. -And I know you’ll be the wolf
that the females admired and followed by their strength.
-I’ve never met many werewolves-Clary caught my eye-But I see
that you will cause a revolution in the lycanthropes, werewolf-smiled to
me.
They believed in me, I couldn’t let them down, not again.
Clary was a survivor, had lost her clan because of me and
Your safety was my priority.
It was not in my plans to ask the Supreme for help, but I needed
from Jackson to find answers and ensure the safety of females
and my family. Just hoped to be strong enough to stay
around him and not give in to my feelings for him.
-Werewolf? Clary’s voice took me from my thoughts. I raised the
head, finding her staring at me.
-Um? -I asked disinterested.
-What happened between you and Jackson? she asked smirking and
I rolled my eyes.
I took the plate with waffles and stuck the dough.
Nothing that is your business I answered by filling my mouth, his scandalous laugh echoed throughout the kitchen.
-You piqued our curiosity-smiled Becca sitting next to you.
-I’m sure they’ve made out, even I can feel the
pheromones that you two exhale-replicated to Kitsune.
Claryl-I scolded her without grace.
-What was it? -she asked pretending innocence. -What is it, Becca? It’s not
curious to know about this couple of Supremes? -asked for
my sister-in-law.
-Nothing relevant has happened.
-I don’t believe you-replied.
I snitched frustrated by your stubbornness.
-What do you want to know? If we kissed? Yes! -asked stressed by
that insistence.
I knew! -He laughed and jumped through the kitchen.
-I guess it’s not as bad as you thought it would be
Becky and I just finished my waffle.
-He’s an asshole-I declared.
-All males are replied Clary. But you were a beautiful duo,
will be a couple of respected Supremes.
-I’m not so sure, I crossed my arms. Whereas, he
Switched and slept with the blonde slut.
Clary choked on her saliva and stumbled on her own feet.
