Origins More than meets the eye...
By the time we reach the apartment my head feels forcibly weighed down as if it is being buried alive under the eruption of unravelling thoughts. I feel lost for words; speechless, unable to break free from my racing train of thought despite the burst of conversation flowing around me while we all settle into the warm living room after a long, chaotic day.I’m unsure of how to feel while the uncomfortable heavy beating of my heart continues to thump rapidly under my ribs making my stomach churn as I process the details of today’s unnerving events. Was it really him? Is my mind playing tricks on me?“Well, that went well,” Dakota jokes, taking off her coat. “Maybe we shouldn’t go out anymore?” she teases.“It could have been worse…” Mato snorts as he crashes onto the sofa with his sister trailing behind, “-it went better than
Origins I think there's someone watching me...
All of my senses remain partially heightened; my body trembles violently while the adrenaline slowly begins to wither, subsiding deep within my veins as I try to collect myself. As my rage slowly disappears I take some satisfaction in watching Aubrey being dragged away unwillingly by Isaac and Mato despite her furious protests. An annoyed Vincent follows behind them swiftly, his head lowered with shame trying to avoid the eyes of curious workers gathering in the corridor who are wondering what all the commotion was about. He curses through clenched teeth at his daughter, scorning her for interrupting his meeting and ruining any salvation of a new deal. His composure completely lost, visibly agitated and seething with embarrassment as they’re escorted out like criminals being taken away.Aubrey remains stubborn, refusing to walk as she allows her feet to drag behind her in a comical fashion. Her high-pitched voice echoes in the buildin
Origins Did she seriously just say that...
“Will you calm yourself down, young lady! You look ridiculous!” Vincent growls exasperated at his flailing daughter. His foot start’s to tap impatiently on the pavement as he leans on his cane witnessing her lash out despite his angered plea.Aubrey continues to cause a scene, not at all concerned with his warning remaining caught up in the moment. Desperate kicks and punches are thrown at the amused boys as they easily escape her clumsy attempts of causing harm, laughing mockingly at the feeble attack, blocking her from getting too close to either Elijah or myself. “-I didn’t bring you along with me for you to go and make a fool out of me!” Vincent sneers at his daughter, authority riddled in his tone causing her to stop dead in her tracks. A defeated pout paints her face, reluctantly obeying her father’s stern orders and gradually coming to
Origins Night Inc...
Continuing to crouch out of sight like a child playing a game of hide and seek, I find my body unable to move while my curiosity continues to grow intensely. The building intrigue holds me frozen to my spot like a statue, rooted to the ground while remaining out of sight as I listen to the unravelling conversation which wasn’t intended for my ears.“Have any of the members from the Opal Pack tried reaching out to you, yet?” Dakota asks, her voice tainted with worry. “Honestly, I don’t know. My phone has been switched off all night. I didn’t want anyone bothering me when I was at the hospital with Willow…” I hear Elijah trail off distracted.After a few seconds of painful silence, a playful melody kicks in from downstairs followed by an avalanche of frantic beeping and buzzing. The eruption of chaotic noise circu
Origins Hidden in plain sight...
The untamed mob continues to linger like a toxic cloud enclosing around us while they eerily whisper amongst themselves, all curious to see what happens next. Most remain unfazed despite Mordecai’s hasty exit into the shadows after his public and justifiable banishment from Luna City. The result of his actions, the outcome of his very own monstrous crimes against his own kind, his sentence.Their restless voices ricochet around me; buzzing mercilessly like a swarm of angry wasps, relentlessly murmuring with discontent and inquisitiveness. A distinct divide between the disgruntled crowd, half disappointed by the interrupted fight and the other side intrigued with Elijah’s unexpected announcement of finding his mate.I feel my body tense up. Noticeably aggravated by the motionless audience refusing to leave, still holding out in hope of getting their money’s worth, patiently waiting for the show to c
Origins Rescuing the reaper...
I feel a lump gathering at the back of my throat, choking me of my words while I gawk at them both dumbfounded. Staring in disbelief as I try to process the unexpected news being thrown at me. I feel my hands begin to tremble with nervousness and excitement, a concoction of mixed emotions blossoming inside as Isaacs's words “Ash the reaper” repeat hauntingly in my head as their meaning remains unclear. Surely, this is some type of mistake. Ash the reaper? Pfft, Ash has always been a gentle giant! He wouldn’t hurt anyone… Maybe a squirrel or a hare for necessity a few months back but he wouldn’t purposefully hurt another person. Would he?My vision begins to blur and I fee
Origins Sweet promises...
I feel weightless as our lips remain entwined; the taste of his delicate kiss lingers on my wanting mouth as we part away from one another, breathless. Both helplessly locked in a loving gaze as we feel our wolves ignite at the touch of one another causing sparks to fly.
Origins No time for bedtime stories...
Her guiding voice lingers in my head like a fading echo floating down an empty hall; the gentle tone resonating in her clear words while remaining equally strong in all her force, her overdue but welcomed appearance finally arriving unexpectedly
Origins Breaking through...
The car remains deathly quiet as the silence fills the air like a fast-acting poison choking my companions of their words; everyone immediately effected by its presence as they shift awkwardly under the sudden pressure I’ve pushed onto them, unknowingly adding fuel to my e
Origins Who's Aubrey...
Dakota leads me upstairs practically dragging me behind as she skip’s with an untamed excitement, eager to escape the confined apartment. On our way to my room the realisation dawns on me that other than my gifted pyjamas I have nothing appropriate to wear out. Unless; hmm
