{ Andrew } Nobody asks me anything about how I feel anymore, not even my brother. It's obvious that I'm not well and it's obvious that I have issues, but I still try to act normal and carry on like I used to when Alessandro didn't exist in my life. I've been living with my brother and Clara again and I spend all day cooped up at home at my new job babysitting my nephew or reading in my spare time, which is still as fun as before, except I'm doing it to escape again and that's not so good. I need to remind myself of the good things in my life again. Like this roof over my head, my big new family and my lovely nephew. "Does that taste good, Phoenix?" I ask my nephew as I feed him and he just bangs his little fists on his table, as if demanding that I give him more food. As soon as I bring the spoon close to his mouth he grabs it in his hand and steals it from me to bring it to his mouth frantically as if he's starving, "I guess that's a yes. God, pup, that's why your cheeks are so
I get out of the car after saying that, managing to keep my tears under control because now I'm more angry than sad. I know I have no right to be because it's all my fault, but that doesn't help to control my emotions. I walk inside the house and curse internally when I see the whole family here. Frank, Dalia, Lucinda, Robbie, Carolina, Daniel, Olivia, Rosie, Carolina, Harry and the kids. The only one missing is my brother. I can't believe I was so upset that I didn't even pay attention to all their cars outside. They all look at me with intrigue when I walk in smelling like pure misery, probably. "Hey, how did it go?" asks Clara as soon as she sees me. And since she's the closest thing to my brother, I walk over to her to hug her, "Oh, no. What happened?" "Nothing, everything went fine," I lie because I don't want to be the cry baby of the family anymore, "I just want a hug." ➿➿➿➿ This is the first time I've ever seen my brother so concerned about his appearance. He checks
I don't know how to react to this. I’m upset and relieved at the same time, in equal amounts. All I can do is look down into the most beautiful, innocent eyes I've ever seen in my entire life... even if that innocence is a lie, at least at this moment. "Did you get yourself wet on purpose to come hide here and make me think you were with another alpha?" I ask, still trying to make sense of what's going on before any reaction. "No, no," he answers immediately, looking a tiny bit unsure for the first time, "I was just flirting with that alpha on purpose, I wanted you to go stop him or at least... I don't know, make you look upset, but every time I turned to look at you you were focused on something else. I wasn't planning on the other guy getting me wet or that alpha wanting to bring me here, I just went with the flow to see if you cared enough. But, five minutes? Do you know everything that could happen in five minutes?" This little manipulator. "I don't like this, Andrew. These
{ Andrew } I have no idea what happened after I decided to let my wolf out for a while, but when I return to my body, I'm naked and next to Alessandro in a bed. My body feels freshly fucked and that makes my face turn hot. I don't freak out because it's obvious that Alessandro is the culprit, but I'm pretty confused about at what point exactly that happened. "Hey, Kitten, you woke up," Alessandro says next to me, putting a hand on my face, "It's you again, baby. How are you feeling? Your wolf's been out all week." "What?!" I exclaim and sit up in bed in absolute shock, "What do you mean all week? Was I on heat again?" I was only supposed to log out for a little while. A little while, meaning an hour or two while my sadness subsided. Not a whole damn week of my life, what the hell? "You weren't in heat, you just decided to give control to him," he explains, looking at me with so much love it leaves me even more confused than before, "Some things have happened, you want to kno
I really don't know what happens after I get the news. I'm in complete shock. Alessandro keeps touching me all the time and everyone tries to strike up conversations with me, not realizing that I'm not really paying attention because I’m lost in my own mind, trying to deal with my overexcited wolf. A couple of hours later we say goodbye to everyone and it's finally time to go home. I feel like there's something pushing on my shoulders until I manage to get into Alessandro's room (our room?) and I'm able to lie down on the bed. "What's wrong, baby?" asks Alessandro, sitting down next to me on the bed, "Are you thinking about the pregnancy?""I'm just thinking about everything. I feel like I woke up in another dimension, I mean... I was asleep for a whole week and now everything is different. I don't know how to feel yet," I honestly admit. Alessandro nods and looks at me with understanding in his eyes."I can imagine how hard it must be. Come here," he says, but he doesn't even wait
{ Clara } [ 17 years old ] I'm not someone special. My life isn't that interesting and I've never had any kind of adventures or anything like that... until he came into my life. Daniel Griffin. A tall, dark haired, blue eyed extremely handsome guy. He was always tall and strong, an obvious alpha even before he presented, but once he did, he became my most intense desire. He's a year older than me and he’s in senior year like Lucinda, so there's not much reason for him to spend time with me. The only occasion when I can see him is when my sister Lucinda is going to hang out with him and I convince her to take me with them. In those cases, Daniel is always sweet and nice to me. He always makes sure I don't feel left out. Most guys our age are gigantic rude jerks who only think about fücking, especially new alphas, they are unbearable, but Daniel is not. He’s always polite and respectful, he doesn’t even swear in the presence of omegas or kids younger t
{ Rodrick } [ 19 years old ] I grew up thinking I would be a beta like my father and most of my family. It wasn't until the last month of my seventeenth year that I started to grow too much to be normal. When my father noticed my sudden height or the way my body started to build muscle easily, he started to be different with me. He started taking an interest for the first time in spending 'father and son' time and he even made me quit my part-time job at the restaurant where I worked to make me start working out all the time. The day before my birthday, I knew we were right in our new assumption. My wolf is an alpha. That filled me with excitement and at the same time something like... fear. I knew from that day that nothing was ever going to be the same again. Me being the first alpha in the family would be a huge deal for my father, my uncles and my grandfather. And I was right, again. As soon as my father looked at me the next day and noticed how my s
{ Clara } [ Through the years ]My dream came true as soon as I became an omega, just as I imagined. That’s all it took.Daniel started showing interest in me in a way he hadn't before... but it's been almost two years since then and so far nothing has happened but a few flirtatious comments here and there. Daniel treats me perfectly well, just like before, but that's about it. He hasn't asked me to go out with him or shown me anything beyond wanting to be my friend until this past week. I was with my friends hanging out and eating in Deborah's car as we drove by the clan when I recognized my sister Olivia playing football with Daniel and his alpha friends. My sister is only sixteen and shouldn't be hanging out with those older guys, but I decide not to make a fuss... instead, I call Daniel and invite him over to my house to ask him why he's hanging out with my little sister. For some reason that feels like... I don't know, like something he's doing to get my at
