{ Alejandro }After my wolf cried for hours, dejected and depressed because Zee is going to leave him, I manage to calm him down a little but only when I promise him that we are going to go see his Alpha. What am I going to tell Zee when I see him? I have no fucking idea, but it's the only thing I could think of to make my wolf feel better.So, now I'm heading to Zee's apartment in the middle of the night. I guess maybe I'll say goodbye... and thenmaybe my wolf can convince him to stay here. If Zion really loves me like he said, he'll stay. And he’ll give me a chance to make things right with him. That’s all I need, a little chance. I get to the restaurant and fortunately, it's open, so I go upstairs and I knock on the door. No answer. When almost fifteen minutes go by and no one answers the door, I start to worry. It's only three in the morning, the party should still be on, right? Usually around four or five is when people start leaving. But I guess they left early this time.
When I get out of the car and I look up at my house, I suddenly start crying, unable to control it. Lunanci arrives at my side and she holds my hand as the guys walk inside the house to give me space. I'm crying because being here feels good, it feels right. Running away after my presentation because I was angry at the world and at myself was very silly. Before that day I was actually very happy. My life was very good. So, I let one single problem snowball into the biggest shit-show ever. It made me hate my own family because of some dumb harmless comments. It made me hate myself and it made me put on a whole circus that culminated in everyone hating my guts. But at this point, I realize that I should have just eaten one of Rio's cookies and accepted myself as I am. Because there is no other option. I can't change myself and I can't be miserable and bitter forever. So all I can do is, accept my lame ass fate and make the best of it, as Luna told me. "Are you ready?" She asks. I
Rio told me all about how Grandpa helped him with his new business, that damn cookie place he wanted so badly and still hasn't taken me to. Rio told me everything, so I know perfectly well who to go to first. "Hi, Grandpa, good morning.”“Good morning, Alex, what brings you here so damn early?” He asks.“Uhm, well. I know you helped Rio with his cookie place. So... today I come to you with my own business plan. And I dare say, mine is even better," I blurt out as soon as my grandfather comes down to the living room. I'm already sitting on the couch waiting for him in my formal clothes, although I intercepted him on his day off so my grandfather is wearing his pajamas and robe. Grandma comes down the stairs behind him too and looks at me with a smile."Oh, look at you, you look so cute with your little bow tie," she says as she comes over to give me a kiss, "Have you had breakfast yet? I'll make you something, sweetie.""Okay, grandma, thank you," I say and wait for my grandfather to
"Remember how I said I was going to kill myself if you say no? I wasn't kidding," Alex says, still holding the ring out to me. His eyes are starting to get crazier with each passing second I don't answer."Yes. Yes, I'll fucking marry you," I reply just to stop him from going crazy, but I can't even comprehend this shit. Alex sighs with relief so I grab his arm to pull him up. He takes the ring he bought and lifts my hand to put it on my finger. It’s a gold band. I never thought for even a second that someone could propose to me, "Can I ask what the fuck is going on without you threatening to kill yourself or lying?" "You said yes just so I wouldn't kill myself?" Alex asks with a pout, "You don't really want to marry me?""Yes I do! But I'm still angry and confused," I tell him, not knowing what to do with my hands. Or with him. He looks so much prettier today than the last time I saw him. His hair is a little longer, his cheeks red, his eyes bright. "I saw you on that damn TV show
{ Lunanci } In this life, all I ask for is just one free day. One bullshit free day. One day to relax and be calm without some tragedy happening. Just one. But it seems like that’s a lot to ask for. I walk out of my lame little shop, I lock the door and lean against it for a few seconds to take a deep breath in and out. I’m exhausted. I'm sick of life. I'm miserable, damn it. I don't even have the strength to walk home yet after what just happened to me so I just walk to my favorite spot behind the shop and hide in between the trees to smoke some weed and let the fresh scent of nature calm me down a bit. I didn't make any money today, I just had one client. He took two hours of my time only to refuse to pay afterwards and call me a 'scamming witch'. He also kicked my favorite lamp before he left my shop. I'm starting to think I should give up on this new psychic business venture, because it's not paying off as much as I thought it would. My two regular clients are keeping me
{ Rio } { 12 years old } We're just arriving at Grandma and Grandpa's house and I'm thinking about all the things I'm going to eat, when my cousin Laurie forces me and my twin to go with him into the middle of the woods to talk. He's going on about Kingsley once again, complaining about things that don't make much sense. I look over to my twin to check if he's thinking the same thing as me and his eyes alone confirm it. This is weird. "What?" Laurie demands with a frown. "All this time you've been complaining that Kingsley does nothing but harass you, forcing you to play with him, haven't you? Or did I miss something?" I ask, to understand better. Laurie nods, "So why are you complaining now that he finally stopped?" "Ugh, you guys don't get it either," he complains dramatically and drops his head back, "I'd rather that idiot had stayed in Asia forever, but I'm not the problem here. It's my wolf. Kingsley befriended my wolf years ago
{ Rio } There's only one thing on my mind during the two hour drive from Tallahide to Fallonmore: telling my twin everything that's happened. I know he's mad at us right now, but he still has to hear that Laurie is Tallahide's new Alpha, that’s freaking awesome. As soon as my grandfather drops me off at my house, I run up to my room to tell my brother everything he missed out on by being upset. I'm about to fly upstairs when I realize he's in the couch, furiously texting someone. "Hey, dude, let's go to our room," I call out to him, trying to contain my excitement. Alex doesn't even turn around, "Trust me, you want to hear this." "I know what you want to tell me, I already know Laurie is Alpha of Tallahide," he mumbles as if he doesn't care at all, not even looking up at me yet, "Aunt Olivia called dad to brag about it." "Oh yeah? And what did dad say?" I ask, begging him with my eyes to turn to look at me, but he still doesn't. Alex is still upset and I don't even understand w
My essentials are: my clothes, my chargers, my headphones, my tablet, two pairs of shoes, my sleeping mask, my favorite pillow, my stash of favorite candies for the road and my cologne just in case. I leave our room when I'm ready and I walk down the stairs very carefully. Alex is still here, talking to our parents and saying goodbye. I wait a couple of minutes until he leaves the house and then I go down. My mom is waiting for me with her arms crossed on her chest. "Are you seriously going to do this?" she asks, ignoring my outstretched hand waiting for her keys, “Are you going to survive?” "Yes, Mom. I will survive. Give me your keys, please," I ask with little patience. She doesn't budge. My dad is the one who sighs and hands me his own keys. "Take my car. I recommend you don't let Alex know you're following him, he won't take it well," he warns and I nod because I already know that. I grab his keys and catch his tiny body in my arms to hug him with all my might, "Please be
