"Dad you have got to stop talking, you need every bit of strength you can muster to fight this. And besides you are scaring me." I cried as I pleaded but his weak eyes just stared back at me."Sweetheart, promise me you will leave here. It will hurt but you have to endure and leave. When he is stronger, when he can protect you, or when and if you finally can meet that part of you you are yet to meet, then you can come back. I don't want you to become a pawn in the battle of strength. Please promise me." I cried even more hearing his plea."I promise dad, I promise." He nodded as he looked visibly relieved. Mom pushed the door as she walked in, her eyes red. She walked over and held his hands."You are so cruel." She told him and dad chuckled weakly."I am glad I get to live life with you. Take care of our dynamite." Mom nodded, she was holding back herself from not breaking. Her palm on dad's cheek."I love you baby, and I am honored to have been by your side." She told him as she fi
Millie's POVWhen I heard the car been driven off, I had looked out the window thinking if I should call them and demand she returns back."Where do you think they are heading to this late?" Erica, Skylar's mom who had insisted on sleeping in the room together with me asked and I sighed."To seek comfort." It had been shocking to not see Alexios throughout the day, but I had held myself back from asking as I feared it might only hurt my daughter even more."Then we should go back to sleep. They should be fine." I nodded. Erica and her husband had told me the whole town was packed with security walking around making sure there were no threats to anyone. 'She will be fine' I assured myself as I took a deep breath and followed Erica to sit on the bed. I know I wouldn't be sleeping at least not until they return home.Looking at the room I once shared with my husband, all the fond memories we made in this room together had me in tears. I sat quietly at his favorite chair and cried, cried
"Are you ready yet? Your dad will drop you off on his way to work." Millie called out for her daughter. "Almost out!" Sophia looked at herself in the mirror one more time as she tried to control her breathing. She felt nervous, the thought of starting at a new school in her senior year frightened her. Having just moved here because of her father's work, Sophia knew she had no choice, her parents were busy trying to make sure she had the best of everything. "I can do this." She cheered herself as she left the room. 'If only words of encouragement worked magic.' She sighed in her heart as she went outside her room. Their home was quite big. It was a three bedroom bungalow, beautiful and cozy. She especially loved how spacious her room was and the attached closet she got. Sophia was grateful for her father's promotion as that brought in more money to the family, and although she wouldn't be missing her previous home as she had no friends, the idea of having to be the center of attenti
Alexios POV "Hermes said the new occupant at the Millers has a daughter." The Alpha began as he watched his son who busied himself with breakfast. "She is registered in your school." He added. The school was originally founded by the werewolves for their kids to study, but as human civilization kept on developing, they didn't only discover the school, but they built homes so close to them too. The Werewolf community then had no choice but to buy a vast land enough for them to run in when in their wolf form. It is a restricted area for humans to go into. To also avoid them questioning why others could go in there, each pack decided to build homes. The pack with lesser members made their pack look like an estate, while some packs allowed humans to live among them, of course with rules, some stricter packs do not let in anyone who is not a member.Alexios pack is the largest pack. Instead of just an estate, his grandfather had made a community for himself. With several buildings given
Sophia's POV I hadn't expected our gaze to meet. The way his eyes had stayed on me felt weird and it made me want to go closer to him. The strange feeling had me looking away as I looked down. 'He is good looking so what?! Ok maybe more good looking than the regular good looking I know but that shouldn't make me this way right?' I bit my lips while clenching my fist. The strong urge to look at him, to watch him scared me. This is not normal!!!"I feel you girl." Skylar spoke grinning. "Let's concentrate." Ok why am I angry? Why do I hate the fact that she is just as attracted to him as I am? Why is the class not over yet?!"So I see we have a new student, could you come up here and introduce yourself?" Sophia tensed hearing the teacher's words. She felt like crying. Not only is her head and body acting weird, this man just had to bring her out to become everyone's focus. She could feel everyone's gaze on her as she walked to the front. 'It will be over soon.' She kept on chanting th
"Really, What a coincidence." Owen's innocent smile would never make one suspect him. "Would you like to sit with us then? I really love your company." He asked with such clear eyes and a beautiful smile that Sophia found herself nodding."Great!" Owen grinned before walking away."Oh my God! What just happened?" Skyler asked her eyes widely opened. Unfortunately, she does not have a Biology class with Sophia."I don't know." Sophia whispered as she bit her lower lips. This morning when she woke up, she planned to be as invincible as the word can get, but here she is, getting attracted to a boy who is a part of the school most popular group. Not only is her heart and body acting weird, but she is also even agreeing to sit with them in a class! 'What a mess.' She regretted her head which had moved without letting her brain process and think of all the cons involved with her sitting with them."I know I said I am rooting for you to be the first girl in their click, but girl, I like you a
Alexis POV "Hi dad." When he had summoned me to his office, I had an idea of what he might be curious about."How was school today?" I nodded as I fought the urge to smile. The thought of my mate being in the same school as me had me smiling all day. She unfortunately can not feel the bond between us, or maybe she felt it can and she just couldn't understand what it was. "Fine, but kinda frustrating." I confessed. It was a torturous and frustrating day, having watched Owen achieve becoming her friend had me jealous. I should have been the one getting close to her. But then, I feared I might not be able to control Erskine so this had me holding back from wanting to be too close. The enticing scent coming off from her had me drunk, I wanted nothing but to put my nose in her body and sniff her in. "Frustrating? Never thought you knew that word son." Dad teased as he stared at me. It was obvious he was concerned."Why am I here?" I asked."What is your opinion of the human girl? Do you
"You are sure nothing is going on in there that you want to talk to me about?" Dad asked again as he glanced towards the school.Chuckling, "Nothing dad, I promise." It is just I panicking because my heart wants to reach out to another, it is no big deal."Alright then dynamite, you go have an amazing day okay." "Okay." I waved before entering the school gate. Today might end up being an awkward one for me. Dad had called the school over the weekend to ask them to change my class schedule as the schedule was too stressful for me to keep up. I am going to pick my new schedule today and this change might not go well with Owen and the others.I scanned the crowd for Skylar's red hair but couldn't find her. 'Is she late today or did she come early?' We normally would meet here every day. Shrugging, I walked into the building and went towards her locker area."... bitch!" I watched as Vivian, one of the ladies who would always glare at me poke Skylar causing her to stagger back. Just ho
