"What?!" The one with grey-blue eyes asked.
"You don't remember us?" The other asked and he raised his brows at them.
"You are..." He trailed off as he goes through his memories to remember them.
They both looked at him, expecting him to say their names. "Who is Connor?" He asked and Connor smiled with his deep dimples showing."And you are..." He trailed off but then his eyebrows twitched.
"Tyson." He said and Tyson grinned in excitement.
"Thought you forgot me so soon after you left." Tyson said jokingly with a feigned, sad pout and Xander managed to smile as he shared a knowing glance with Connor.
They soon cut the contact and he signaled to him. They followed him inside and his uncle looked up. "Oh, see who is here to see Xander? I guess you all must be so mad at him for not even giving you calls or even sending regards." He said and Tyson shook his head disapprovingly.
"At least he is here now. I forgive him." He said as he sat down freely on the dining table.
"I see mum has cooked more delicious meals." Connor said as he sniffed in the aroma before humming in savory.
"Mama is the best cook, Xander. What do you think? Your favourite sausage roll. Have you forgotten?" Connor asked and Xander's Adam apple bobbed in reluctance as he did not want to interfere in what they were saying but he forced a grin on. "Mother has always been a very good cook. If not the best... But I no longer have a fancy for sausage rolls anymore." He said and the smile that was not his mother's face slowly loosened. He saw it and clenched his fists in anger but instead he picked up

He saw it and clenched his fists in anger but instead he picked up the tissue and wiped his mouth.
"I am tired already. Need to freshen up and have some rest." He said and his mother smiled at him.
"Sure. Xander. Would you love to have some fruits since you were little?" He looked between his uncle's gaze and his mother's pleading eyes. He exhaled and nodded his head positively before going upstairs.
He pushed the door of his room open and he went in. He was not expecting anything luxurious but it was just to his taste. He exhaled and slumped on the bed before closing his eyes for a brief moment.
But then his phone rang and he jerked up instantly. Looking into his phone's beep, the message read, "Welcome back, buddy."
He scoffed and rolled his eyes at the message.
"What do you think, Lucas?" He asked his wolf who stirred up and stretched out."What about we go for a run tonight?" Lucas asked and he nodded his head.
"Definitely." He said and went straight to the bathroom.*****
This is what he loved.
Running on his own through the forest, wind rippling through his thick shiny coat without a care in the world.
This is what he'd always do each night, race through the woods in his wolf form. It is always exhilarating.
He slowed to a light run and tilted his head and looked to the black night sky. The moon shone brightly giving him a somewhat bright view of his surroundings.
Not like me need the light though, he has his werewolf enhance eyesight along with his hearing, smell and strength.
He slowed his pace to a point that he wasn't running at all. His pack; The Blue Moon pack hasn't changed a bit. Maybe the woods are no longer safe like before anymore-who knows.
If a human had seen him right now, he would have just looked like a sliver blur.
"LUCIA!''A deep authoritative voice sounded from a far distance, causing him to tilt his head,snapping it in the direction.
"Come back here, Lucia....!"the booming voice now sounded like it was about to explode. his curiosity got the best part of him that he didn't know when he started running back out of the woods.
He slowed to a stop at the edge of the woods so he could shift. He trotted back to where his belongings were and shifted.
He could hear the sickly popping sounds his bones made as they rearranged themselves back to his human form.
When he shifted for the first time, he was sixteen, it hurt so much he thought he was going to pass out. But now, at the age of eighteen and after two years of shifting back and forth, he hardly feels a thing.
He carried on and stopped at a clear path to observe his surroundings. He anticipated hearing the voice again but none came.
After some time, he exhaled and reluctantly shifted back and made to turn around. He wanted to go back a little into the woods when he noticed an unusual strange feeling surrounding him.
One that tells him something isn't right. He braced himself and turned his head sharply to where he'd almost turned away from.
And there at a far distance is a girl standing beside the window with a woman walking angrily away from her and out of sight. The girl put her hand on her left cheek which immediately gave him the idea that she'd just been slapped.
A sudden smell aroused; filling his nostrils. A smell of apple and freshly sanded wood; it was mouth watering. But before he could discover what those were, it got mixed with the air.
He looked up to where his previous eye directions were and suddenly, like a flash, the girl's eyes came searching through the dark night till it settled on Xander's red own.
Xander didn't wait a second more when he turned his back at the unclear figure and trudged off as fast as he could. But that doesn't change the fact; He'd just been seen.

Chapter 3Life isn't fair.At a point in this cruel world; death is worth pleading for. , having had her back on the closed bathroom door for a long time sobbing, starts to slowly slide to the floor as her legs weaken.Her face has become pale and puffy due to her endless crying.Is life really worth fighting for?,slowly before her eyes she had watched her life crumbling. No paths left for her to survive that she hasn't crossed.Being mistreated by her mother and still enduring is not what everyone can do. She's helpless, she's nothing but an helpless-hopeless Omega.A sound came from the turning of the key in tht lock and hearing that, she rose up instantly on her feet as she dabbed her tears filled eyes with the hem of her dress.The door was flung open,"Get out...now!"Without hesitating, she scurried out of the bathroom and as soon
Chapter 4By: Tofunmi NikkyLooking out of the window; Lucia kept her eyes fixated on her surroundings, garden, and numerous houses that are far away. A look of admiration plastered on her face as she rubbed her palms together and gave out a sigh."Hey, Lucia." Scarlett, Lucia's step-sister, called out as she stepped out of her room. Lucia looked up and a smile crossed her face."Scarlett." She acknowledged as she rose up."Are you not going to the Alpha's welcoming party?" She asked and Lucia bit her lip nervously."I don't, to be honest. I mean mother is going to be there. Who knows If she will be mad seeing me there and cause a scene." She replied and Scarlett rolled her eyes."You don't let mother affect you. You should learn to be independent." She said and Lucia looked at her with something that looked like admiration.
Chapter 5By: Tofunmi Nikky"Jinx, won't you wake up?!" Lucia heard a voice yell from the sleep and she jerked up instantly. She dips her fingers into her ears as they tickle with banging. That was when she was able to see that it was already daybreak and that also meant that she was going to school.Huh? School. She thought. But before she could process another thing, a whiplash made her jolt up. She looked up and saw her mother towering over her as she snickered at her in anger."Do you want to sleep forever? You might as well do so that I won't get to see your disgusting face! Are you not going to school?! Do you look like a child that needs pampering?! Before you go, make sure that the laundry is done and the kitchen is shiny. Or else... You know what I can do." She threatened and stormed out of her little room.She finally let out the wince she was holding in and rubbed the place she was beaten. And that is another reason her mother hates her.
Chapter 6By: Tofunmi NikkyShe jerked up instantly with water dripping down her body. The entire class gasped in shock and Lucia stood there not knowing what to do next. She looked at Regina in the eye and tears glistened her eyes.Xander looked at Regina before laying his eyes on the lady that was close to him. His wolf has been whispering incoherent words into ears and he chose not to take it into consideration.But the way her clothes was soaked and how she was wet from head to toe. He could or even everyone who could see what she was wearing inside.When no one spoke up, Lucia immediately passed by Xander and ran out of the class.Regina smirked and exhaled before turning to look at one of her minions. "Get a cloth and clean that place for me." She ordered and the lady scurried to get an handkerchief.Xander
Chapter 7By: Tofunmi Nikky"Xander, wait up for me." Regina yelled after him. Tyson and Connor both turned back to look at her. She catwalked towards him but Xander did not turn to look at her. She came before him with a coy smile."What do you want?" He asked in his gruff voice."Hmm, can you take me for a ride home?" She asked and his brows raised in confusion. He looked back and saw some students hanging around. He knew what she was trying to do.Remembering what his uncle said, he begrudgingly opened the door to the passenger seat and she climbed in with a grin. He groaned and Connor bit his lips to hide his laughter. Xander glared at him and he straightened up instantly.Xander stepped into the driver seat and the other guys did into the back seat.He ignited the car's engine and drove off.Getting to the
Chapter 8By; Tofunmi NikkyRoyal maid to the Blue Moon pack's Alpha?, wait!; did she misheard what she just said or what? cause what just came out of her mouth is just too unbelievable!.The pain that came in through the cut that almost had her groan again was quickly suppressed by pressing her lips tightly against each other; clamping it together."But Mother...."she finally found her voice, "How was that able to happen, A maid for the Alpha?, I mean I can't just get the position of a maid there just anyhow"that part left her speechless and same as confused."Are you questioning me now, Lucia?, like, are you trying to tell me am crazy for saying out such a thing??...."An annoyed grunt left her mother's mouth as she said with so much venom in her.She's trying to control her anger at that moment; yes, she knows.
Chapter 9By; Tofunmi NikkyXander let go of her immediately and she quickly balanced herself on her feet, he stepped back a few steps from her before looking up at her face, his expression hidden."Alpha..!"she bowed her head instantly, lowering her gaze to the floor and avoiding looking back at him,"I'm....so sorry Alpha Xander,"Giving him a mutter of apology, she made to leave,"I'll take my leave now, Alpha".Her nervous system was now working as fast as possible, she twirled around on her feet and started trudging off as fast as she could."Next time watch your way; it's always before you" she heard Xander voiced out and processing his words, she looked down on the floor to see the same stone still on the same spot.If she'd taken just that step before he spoke out, then, she would have stumbled and land on t
Chapter 10 By; Tofunmi Nikky Xander arched an eyebrow at him when he did not talk. But then he noticed Tyson hiding behind, he cleared his throat and shared a glance with Connor. He got the hint and relaxed against the chair. Tyson exhaled and stepped out from the place he was hiding. Xander scoffed and dropped his legs before dipping his hands into his pockets. "You guys left me. And you know just how I am dealing with abandonment issue." Tyson said and Xander raised an eyebrow at him in confusion. He looked at Connor to explain. "It's true. His mother left his father. He was really attached to her." He clarified. "Ohh, sorry pal." Xander said tapping him on the shoulders. "Should we skip?" Connor asked and Tyson shook his head negatively. "Father will be so mad if he gets to know." He said and Connor rolled his eyes at him. "Papa's boy." Connor said with a scoff.While they were conversing, Xander
