SKYLAR'S POV:-
I went back to my room crying crazily. Not because I saw people laughing at me. Not because I could not get that box. Also not because Anika insulted me. If uncle Adam could ever understand. I just wanted him to give me something. I wanted to go to him and ask him if he brought me something. I could not have cared for that stupid big box if he would just have given me something. Even if it was a small smile with a birthday greeting.
It would have meant the world to me. But all he had, as if it all belonged to Anika. I just did not know why. But I hated her because she was always with him and he never even looked at me. What was that I did that made him so angry at me. I wanted to hold his hand. I wanted to feel his warmth. I wanted to feel his heart beat. I did not care for what people would think about us. All I cared was to get him to say, Skylar, yo
ANIKA'S POV:-After a long and tiring day, I finally came back to my room and kicked my shoes off. I sat on the chair that was set when my dresser. I started pulling off my accessories. Then I pulled all the bobby pins out of my hair and let them cover my back. I grabbed the brush and started untangling my hair. I looked at the armor that was now placed in my bedroom. I really could not believe it. It still felt as if I was dreaming. I was honoured by our Alpha. In the same house where I was treated as a slave, I was given the most honorable tribute. I could not help but giggle as I remembered the face my bitchy sister had that time.The door of the room opened and Adam stepped into the room. I frowned at first but then I remembered that it was his room and from now onwards, I had to share it with him. Or he was sharing his room with me. I was pulled out of my thoughts as
ANIKA'S POV:-I smiled lazily as I felt Adam on top of me. I was lying on my stomach and he laid on top. He removed my hair from my shoulders and pecked my bear shoulders one after another. "Wake up, baby girl. Today is a big day for you. You don't want to be late today." He whispered in my ear then pecked my cheek."Emhhh… please.. let me sleep. Five more minutes." I said lazily and hid my face under my arms. He grabbed both of my arms and held them behind my back. I made a lazy whimper sound when he grabbed both of my arms."You are opening your eyes right now, baby girl. Or you will be in trouble." He threatened me and I groned in annoyance. He pecked my cheek again as I opened my eyes."Now that's my good girl." He said and pulled me onto his lap. I wrapped my arms around h
ANIKA'S POV:-I turned to look at Adam who had a mischievous smirk on his face. He raised a brow at me and I shook my head. I grabbed the bowl of oatmeal and started digging in. "Your chair is empty. Sit on that. Mom!" Skylar said in a mocking tone as she called mom. She knew my weak point. I gulped hard as my mom was glaring at me. She was about to open her mouth when Aura took the charge again."Oh, I am more comfortable on Adam's lap. If you are interested in taking my seat as well then go ahead. I am not stopping you as I know how much of a beggar you really are." Adam chuckled hearing me and then all cousins broke into laughter. I shrugged my shoulders and started digging in again."Phew! You are a lifesaver, Aura." I said to her as she was licking her paw. Skylar stood up and went away, stomping her feet
ANIKA'S POV:-"Alright you both. We will start with runs. Both of you are going to take three rounds of this field. Move your lazy asses now." Adam said and I looked at Kyle. He shrugged his shoulders as he as well heard Adam."Aahh.. Beta, don't you think three rounds on the first day would kill us?" I giggled as Kyle asked him that question. Adam gritted his teeth but then smirked mischievously. The smirk already told me that we were in trouble."Alright then. You will do five rounds. Is that good for you?" Adam asked Kyle and I groaned in annoyance. "Move your lazy asses now or I will increase the number of rounds." Adam added and I sighed. I peeled the jacket I was wearing off of my body. I started running as I knew there was no other way. I knew Adam well. And I knew there was no way or no one who could convince him to
SKYLAR'S POV:-I stepped out of the car as the driver stopped the car in front of the cabin of Celestial. I went towards the door and knocked at the door. In a minute, the opened and Celestial bowed her head in front of me. "You should have called me to your house, my future Luna." She said as she invited me in. I shook my head and followed her behind. She led me towards her living room and signalled me to sit down. I sat down on one of the couches."I wanted to discuss something with you and I just did not want anyone else to know about it. So I decided to visit you myself. I need some answers. They are digging my insides as if they are termites." I replied and she nodded her head. She had a kettle set in front of her. She filled two cups as if she knew I would visit her. She offered me one and I took it gladly. It was lemon tea, my favorite. I
ANIKA'S POV:-I was yawning crazily. My eyelids were heavy. I just wanted to hug his pillow and sleep peacefully. But of course, I did not want him to be mad at me. I was sitting on his bed, hugging my knees tightly so I would not fall asleep. "What is taking him so long? I want to sleep." I thought to myself as I looked at the wall clock again. It had been fifteen minutes, Adam had not come back. I ran my fingers through my hair and sighed. I knew it would be hard for me to stay awake if he would not come back in five more minutes.Just then, the door opened and he stepped into the room. He had a guilty smile on his face. He quickly came to me and set the tray of food in front of me. He grabbed the bowl of soup and filled a spoon. He blew it a few times then held it in front of my mouth. I opened my mouth and took my first bite. To be honest, I was not hungr
ANIKA'S POV:-I moaned as I felt someone's lips on my neck. I slowly opened my eyes and looked around. It was Adam. He had a worried look on his face. As if he had seen me crying crazily. It was true. Ever since Aura had told me about the truth, I started crying. She hugged me and comforted me. But it was not enough. I loved Adam more than I had loved myself. He was the only one I had ever wanted in my life. All my life, I had waited for the moment when I would turn eighteen so I could be with him. The whole territory knew that I was his mate. This is what he had been telling everyone. It was impossible that he felt me as his mate but he was not my mate. And I knew he would never lie to me.I gulped hard and sat up on the bed. He came closer to me and wrapped his arms around me. "Is everything okay, baby girl? Did you have a nightmare? Talk to me, baby girl." He asked me i
ANIKA'S POV:-I was leaning against the railing of the balcony of my bedroom. I had a cup of camomile tea in my hands. As it was the first day of my training and everyone knew how much of a monster Adam was when it comes to training a teen wolf. As we stepped into the house, I was welcomed by my grandparents with open arms. Grandpa took me to his bedroom and gave me a little massage. To be honest, it was the best thing they could have given me after a hell of a day. When I left the room, Grandma handed me a cup of camomile tea. She said it would help me with the tiredness and would also soothe my aching muscles. And as her claims, it helped me exactly the same way.I was still having a debate between my heart and my brain. While Aura kept nagging me to do what was right. She was right. If anything bad happened to anyone, I would be equally responsible. And knowing that Sky
