Mason:
Morning comes and I’m all Packed to go. Mason comes into my room to help me move my stuff to the car.
we move very discreetly so we don’t wake others.
“You’re sure you’ve made-up your mind about this?”
“I’m sure brother, it’s something I have to do.”
“so you are going to disappear fully this time?”
“that's the plan”
“I suppose you’ll be changing your numbers and your phones”
“I will I don’t want anybody to be able to track me”
“And I suppose you won’t give me your new number”
“I’d love to brother, but if I do that then mum and dad will definitely know my whereabouts.”
“I can’t say I agree with this, he just got back, it hasn’t been one week and you’re leaving again.”
“I’m sorry, I have to put my mental health first.”
I stand next to Mason’s car as he lifts my luggage and puts them into the trunk.
“You sure you packed everything?”
“I took the important things I might need”
“Why does the luggage seem so light?”
“Honestly, I didn’t take much with me. I’ll kill every memory from my past life and start a new one.”
“So this is the last time I’ll see you?”
“Might be”
“tears ran down my face as I looked into Masons sad eyes. I’m not ready to go but I know I can’t stay either.”
“get in, let's go”
I turn around and opened the door to the passenger seat, before getting in, I take one last look at the house. I start sobbing as the car zooms off to the airport.
Through the mirror, I see tears rolling out of Masons eyes. This makes me cry even more.
After half an hour, we arrive at the airport. Mason offers to lift my bags for me but I refuse.
“You have to go now, I’ll be fine.”
“you swear?”
“I don’t really know, I’ll try to be fine”
“why do you even have to leave? this makes no sense.”
“it does to me”
He steps out of the car and embraces me. He hugs me so tight that my luggage falls to the ground. I wrap my hands tight around him as my tears wets the collar of his shirt.
“Please don’t do this, you just can’t. I don’t want you to”
He cries in a way that shatters my heart. Unable to handle the pain, I push him away
“You have to go now, you have to go before anyone notices I’m gone”
“What do I tell them? How do I tell them that you vanished into thin air and I do not know your location”
“I left notes in my room, I- I left notes for everyone. I said my goodbyes already.”
“Please, Ruby. Think about your family, we’re going to be heartbroken; I’m already heart broken”
“I’m sorry, I have to go.”
I pick up my bags and run into the airport
“Don’t follow me, please don’t follow me brother. Just go home.”
I take a look at Mason’s face as I run, it’s the face of a heartbroken man. I wish I didn’t have to do this to my brother but I don’t have a choice.
I run till he’s eventually out of sight. my eyes are swollen as a result of the tears, I wipe my face with the back of my hand and take a stop.
Where I was going to go never occurred to me, I made the plan to disappear but I don’t even know where I’m disappearing to.
“Where do I go? where do I hide?”
A seat comes into my vision and I just sit there, crying my heart out.
My phone vibrates continuously, I don’t feel like picking up but it’s been ringing for almost an hour. When I check; there are over a hundred messages from Layla and Marcus.
“I haven’t really given Marcus any attention since I came back, I guess I’ll never see him again.”
Proceeding with my plan, I open my phone and take the sims out, throwing them on the floor
“Alright, I’m just going to pick a random place and travel to, an unpopular location.”
I get off my seat and lift my bags, making my way to the tickets area.
Accidentally, I bump into a man and lose my footing, right before I fall he catches me by the hand
“Hi”
I immediately recognize the voice and the person as well
“Alpha Logan?”
“We’ve run into each other three days in a row, still think it’s a coincidence?”
Immediately I become annoyed and snap at him.
“No I don’t think it’s a coincidence, you are following me around aren't you?”
“What? no. I’d never do something like that”
“Then how do you keep appearing everywhere I go?”
“Like I said, fate.”
“If by fate, you mean following me around; then sure it’s fate.”
My irritation becomes too visible and he notices.
“are you so pissed? Did I offend you somehow?”
“Why did you have to be here, at this time. It’s not mere coincidence.”
“I swear miss Reid, I don’t follow you around.”
“What are you doing here then?”
“Remember what I told you about these shoes yesterday?”
“what shoes?”
“The ones I bought at the mall”
“you said you needed them for a business trip outside of tow…. Oh, you must be going on the trip.”
“That’s right, my flight is scheduled for 8:00”
Suddenly, I am overcome by shame and all my courage disappears
“I’m so sorry for how I talked to you, I’m just in a really bad mood.”
It immediately occurs to me that he has been holding my hand the hold time. I clear my throat suggestively and he let’s go of my hand.
“What caused you to be in such a bad mood?”
“I don’t want to talk about it”
“Next question, why are you running away from home,Ruby?”
My eyes widen, I have been figured out.
Picnic:How did he managed to figure me out so quickly?“So you are stalking me? I knew it”He laughs lightly and looks down at my luggage.“Relax, I’m not stalking anybody. It’s pretty obvious.”“No it isn’t, I’m dressed very casually”“That’s one point, you wouldn’t be going on a trip or vacation with all that luggage.”“That doesn’t prove anything, you are making no sense”“Am I now? Where’s your best friend then, Layla is her name right?”“She has things to do, she’s a busy person”“Still, you too seem close, she wouldn’t let you travel without seeing you off”I was left speechless by his deduction. He caught me red handed.“So Ruby, where are you headed?”“I actually don’t know that yet”“Do you want to sit and talk maybe?”“You had a business meeting no?””I do but my flight doesn’t take off till 8:00.”“I see, well.. I’m hurt”“Did I say something I shouldn’t have yesterday?”“It’s not you; I just feel like every time I make an effort to heal, something just comes along and rui
Alpha Logan:Alpha Logan leaves to catch up with his flight. After sitting at the airport shortly, trying to understand what happened between me and Logan; I go home.On getting home, I see everyone at the living room. My dad consoles my mom we cries uncontrollably. Mason sits on the couch with both hands buried in his hair and Clara rubs his shoulder.“Hi, everyone. Surprise?”As soon as my mom sees me, she runs to me and embraces me.“My baby, you were going to leave your family again weren’t you? And this time you weren’t going to let anyone contact you”“I’m sorry mom, I’m sorry I just…”Tears decorates my face and leaves me unable to sleep. My dad sighs in relief and smiles at me.After some minutes of tearful embraces, Mason helps me take my bags back to the bedroom. He stands by my door and leans against the frame.“What made you change your mind?”“Well, I don’t really know. Let’s say I ran into an angel.”“Angel huh? I’m curious. Layla stopped you?”He smiles deviously.“Not
The baby:The new parents bring their baby back home, Marcus, Layla and I Make arrangements for the baby shower in seven days.As Clara and enters the house with the baby in her arms, I rush to embrace my brother and congratulate him on becoming a father, I also congratulate Clara.“Mason! You’re a father now! I’m so happy!”He chuckles.“Stop yelling so much, you’re an aunt now, you’ve got to be a bit more quiet”“Oh, I’m sorry about that, congratulations, brother.”I whisper and giggle.The house is filled with friends of the new parents and Mason has a lot to attend to so I help Clara upstairs to her room“She’s soo cute, can I hold her?”“Sure, of course.”“Carefully she hands the baby to me as we walk upstairs.”“It’s a he”“What?”“You have a nephew, not a niece.”I marvel at her words as I stare at her with eyes wide open.“You mean…”“Yes, in a few years our pack will have an alpha candidate to take over the Reid pack.”“I can’t believe this, he’s not beta blood?”“He’s not, w
Kissed:“Logan!”“Surprised to see me?”“I just…. Didn’t know you were back.”“I told you I’d be back soon didn’t I?”“I don’t remember you saying so, I’m just surprised.”I stare at him in amazement, the way my heart feels is something I am unable to understand.“You’re just gonna stand there like that?”“Oh? Forgive my rudeness, please come in.”“That’s not what I meant, did you not miss me?”“Miss you? I don’t think I did.”In actuality, I missed him very much and I try to cover up my feelings by smiling nervously.“You’re mean”“Because I didn’t miss you?”With fast movements, he plants a kiss on my cheek.“How about now?”My face and body feels hot but I try to deny it.“I don’t know what you’re talking about, Alpha Logan.”“Okay then, aren’t you going to let me in?”Please come in, I’m sure my brother would be surprised to see you.“Not really, he called me.”“Is that why you’re here?”“Partly, there’s another reason.”“What other reason is there?”“I’m looking at her”He stares
Mr. ReidMy parents never knew the details of what happened between me and Logan, they thought we just had a quarrel before I left for America five years ago. I was trying to keep it that way, I didn’t want the drama to escalate. My parents had asked me several times about why I don’t have a mate and I’ve been telling them that the right person hasn’t come.I had to pretend in front of everyone to make sure that drama didn’t take place.“Hello, it’s been a while, Alpha.”“It’s really been a while, you’ve changed a lot.”I descend the staircase and walk towards him.“How have you been?”“Good, I’m in excellent health.”“I’m glad to hear that. How ARE you?”“I’m good, spent a few years studying in America.”“I see, why’d you suddenly chose to come back?”“You didn’t miss me?”“I didn’t, but I can’t say I didn’t think about you”The whole time, I wear a bitter smile on my face as he spouts his rubbish.“You thought about me? I’m flattered.”Layla who stands beside me, could tell from my
The Truth:“Where are we going?”“I don’t really know, you pulled me away”“Logan! You’re bleeding so much, how could I not?”“It’s nothing, it’s just blood”“Just blood? If you lose much of it you’ll die.”“Where are we going?”“Well, there’s a hospital up front where I can get a stitch”“You needn’t worry about that. Let’s just stop somewhere. I have a first aid kit on me.”“Do you know how to use it?”“I told you I’m a doctor remember? Please pull over.”“My house is just by the corner, there’s no need to pull over here.”“You have blood all over your face, how are you so calm?”“This is nothing. I’m an alpha remember?”“You really want to take me home? You didn’t ask if I’d be okay with that.”“Are you not?”“I have no problem with it.”After 30 minutes of driving, Logan stops the car in front of a building. It doesn’t look like a mansion despite how rich he is. The house looks small and simple, a comfortable place.“Can you walk? Do you need support?”“You don’t need to worry abo
The Scent:I open my eyes in an unfamiliar place, my windows which I open every morning are not the same. The room doesn’t smell the same, this scent…. It’s Logan’s….“Oh, that’s right, I’m not home. Wait…. Last night.”I get off the bed and notice that I’m wearing a big shirt with my bra and panties underneath, a shirt that doesn’t belong to me. “Where’s he? Where’s he?”I search but I don’t see him anywhere in the room, not even the bathroom. As I attempt to leave the room, he comes in with a tray of coffee and deviled eggs.“Um.. Good morning”“Good morning to you too.”My eyes are unable to meet his without me becoming embarrassed so I divert my eyes.“Did you sleep well, Ruby?”He drops the tray on a small table close to then bed; then sits at the bottom of the bed.“I think so”“I’m glad. I made you breakfast in bed, too bad you weren’t in bed when I came in.”He laughs nervously and strokes his hair backwards.“Logan, can I ask you something?” “We didn’t do anything, if that’
Clara:Music from my house echoes through the street, the party had already started and I wasn’t there.I take to running and sprint with full speed to get home.On reaching the house, I realize that I’m sweaty and my hair is a mess; I didn’t get to comb my hair over at Mason’s place because he has comb for women.I take the backdoor that leads to the basement.My room is the first destination I reach, I manage to enter my room without anyone noticing me.I’m lucky I entered unnoticed. Mason must be worried, I left my phone home so no one would know my whereabouts.I talk to myself as I shut the door.“You’re right, Mason is very worried about you.”Shock goes down my spine as I hear the voice of someone other than me in my room. The voice is one I recognize so I don’t bother turning around.“Marcus, how did you know?”You’ve always had the habit of escaping into your room straight from the basement whenever you did something wrong.“I guess they don’t. But I did nothing wrong this ti
