Alright young man?'
He said to the kid without looking down at him.
'Everything would be if you hadn't told him in the first place!'
The boy shouted at his face.
It was all too much for Mr Rostwood. He looked hard at the boy and without thinking, he landed a heavy slap at his cheek.
The boy was shocked and fell down from the severe momentum.
'Where do you live?'
Mr Rostwood asked like nothing happened.
'I...I live in the orphanage there, sir.' He answered and lifted a small and trembling finger to show him the direction he had come from.
Mr Rostwood had heard some things about that place-bad for the most part. He said nothing and remaining with his hard expression, walked away trying not to put too much weight on his right leg.

Markie
All werewolves have mates. So what happens when you fall for someone before you're 18... "Hopefully hes my mate" is all Markie can think as she waits for her 18th. This is a short story that takes place in the middle of "Orphan Wolf". It can be read independently but will have spoilers if you intend to read "Orphan Wolf"... I of course would suggest you read it and pause at the point I marked to read "Markie" but the choice is yours. Story excerpt "Come on Ryan leave me alone!" A boy yells. "You started it Francis... come on pup don't start that with me... I don't have time for this! GO HOME!" I felt the command. I see the little 8 year old boy from last night run away crying, one of Ruby's cousins. When I turn the corner I see a boy about 20 and am hit with an overpowering smell something like fresh cut wood and autumn leaves. It is amazing. I see the guy turn towards me and duck behind the house I am standing by before he sees me. Nope! Not him! Not happening! I hear footsteps coming towards me and run. Into the woods I find a pine tree. Perfect! Pine trees are great hiding places. The branches hide you visually and the smell masks your scent. I climb up as quickly as I can and watch the guy approaching. He circles my tree looking around but eventually gives up and goes back towards the houses. "Mate!" My wolf happily purs. "Not him!" I respond. "Denial." She says. "Refusal." I counter and she growls at me. "You will NOT reject him!" She orders. "He is a bully!" "He is mate!" "He commanded that kid when he could have just talked to him! He is a bully with no patience!" "He is an Alpha!" She purrs with pride at his rank. I don't care! "I don't want him!" "The one you want isn't mate. He isn't yours. He isn't interested... I want mate!" "No." I block her out and climb down the tree.Complete

Monday, August 1 Dear Isaac, if you're reading this, that means you've turned eighteen. Congratulations, I'm so proud of you. I hope you had a great day! But unfortunately, that also means I'm not there to celebrate with you, I'm so sorry about that. I never thought I'd have to write this journal, but here I am. You're probably very confused, and I don't blame you, but your father wouldn't be able to properly explain to you everything about yourself, And if I don't make it, which I fear I don't, and I probably didn't or you wouldn't be reading this, there's got to be some way for you to find out, So, let's begin ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- His friend forces him on a hunting trip, where instead of a monster he finds quite the opposite... or so he thinks. Soon things start to get confusing. What happens when a dark past gets revealed? And old acquaintances show up? What exactly happened to his mother? Strange people, strange events, and most prominently, strange feelings... Can he resist them and stay safe? Or will he fall for them and get pulled into all kinds of danger..? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [[Word Count: 115.000]]] [All original (besides some inspired scenes) please don't copy.

I'm blessed to be me
Out of habit, I burst out laughing, and the water from my mouth drenches someone's shirt in front of me, who seemed to appear from nowhere. I look up to see the familiar pair of handsome eyes, only that now it is rageful. "I'm sorry, really...." I begin to stutter, but even before I could finish my sentence, he grabs the bottle from my hand and empties it down, straight on my head, and throws it away. His lips twitch into an evil, satisfied smirk. Out of my reflex, but with determination, I push him back. He trips and loses his balance, just to get his upper body drenched by the water pouring out of the fountain. Yay! I have managed to wash the evil smirk on his face... He is now soaking wet and his wet hair glistens glamorously. I feel water dripping down my face as well. I take a step back, "I said I'm sorry." I utter, my voice filled with determination. I am not one of those cliché teenage girls, who simply stands embarrassed when someone humiliates them. --------*---------*-------- Athisya, a 15 turning 16-year-old funny, rebellious yet sweet girl belongs to an orthodox Tamil family living in Chennai.
