Sophia's POV"So?" Although Alexios asked, I felt like he already knew the answer. The small smile playing on his lips, and the mischievousness of his gaze made me pause."Did you hear I and mom's talk?" I asked him. The possibility is low, I had left him in the living room and moreover, when I went into mom's room, I had shut the door after myself."Why? Was I meant to hear something?" He is lying. Alexios is an awful liar. When he lies, he avoids eye contact, he would always looks anywhere but at me, at my eyes, and he tends to stammer a little.Deciding to ignore it, as calling him out on his lie would only further embarrass him at being caught on eavesdropping, I held onto his hand as we both walked to my room. "I doubt I have a suitable pajama here that you can use." I spoke as I rummaged through my wardrobe looking for anything to give him. Should I have asked mom for dad's pajama's? Would that even be right?"I actually prefer sleeping without clothes on." He whispered behind
I woke up to an empty bed, 'Where is he?' I wondered as I listened thinking maybe he was in the bathroom, but no matter how long I listened, there was no sound coming from the bathroom.I stepped out of the room and found mom eating an apple. "Good morning mom." I greeted her with a smile."Good morning princess. How was your night?" She asked winking and I blushed."Good mom, it was good." Looking around, "Mom where is Alexios?" I asked her."He left quite early this morning, he said something came up and he needed to go. He asked me to tell you as he didn't want to wake you up." I nodded biting my lips.'Hopefully everything is alright with him.' I knew there was more to what he had told me last night, but since he wasn't willing to share much, I decided to trust and wait for him."What is for breakfast?" I asked walking into the kitchen."Cereals." I hummed as I went to pour some for myself. "Your dad will be back today." Mom informed me and I grinned. 'I have missed him.' The new
"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
