Alessia's POVMum woke up with a mood today, not her coming to pull me out of bed so early in the morning and asking me to get dressed. Not just any sort of dressing, but a smart one. My heart raced at the thought of me dressing smart, the last time mum had me out of the house. I was fighting for my life with the fierce looking men she and my uncle's locked me up with. I have been a bit slow lately and haven't been training right. It worries me that I might slack in a bit. Heading down the stairs, I saw Allen yawning endlessly by the couch. He looked like a sleep deprived racoon. I know I look better because I did use a mirror. As for him, he is nothing to write home about."Quit staring at me like that." Allen grumbled. Coming down the stairs with her tool bag in hand, she clapped her hands. "Get ready you both, Walter would be joining us this morning. But I need to test your speed first, and that is what we would be doing for this morning."I gave mum a once over, that woman look
Alessia's POV"Do you think we pushed them too hard?" My mum's voice sifted into my consciousness. I wonder what they are discussing. "Dad asked us to." Uncle Walter sounded tired. "We can't keep doing all that he wants. They are still just children, can't we fight this on our own without them?" Irritation laced Joxer's words. And I have never heard him speak so intelligently before. My throat felt try and painful when I tried to talk, my mouth tasted like bile. Ewww, what in the world was that? "Mum?" I called out."Baby." Mum said, sitting next to me. "She is awake!" "Water." I mused.There was a rushed movement, but I got given the water to drink. When I sat up, my head felt light. I had on to it, to keep it from falling. Even though I doubt it would, since I am no robot. Staring round the room into worried looking eyes, I asked. "What happened?" Mum sighed, "you passed out baby."That definitely was the obvious, when I looked around the room again. Allen isn't there. "Where
Collin's POVExcitement coarsed through me as the taxi moved towards my destination. Seeing Alessia's message saved me from the thoughts I was having, that had my mind spinning out of control. I had that awful nightmare again, this time it felt so real and it was more about some group of people after me and the necklace on my neck. In the dream, my mother kept telling me to run and not stop. The question is; what exactly am I running from? And aside Ashley's findings that this necklace is an ancient necklace that belongs to a long line of rulers. Why do I have it and why would people chase after it now, after all this year's? My head aches everytime I try to think about it. There is an underlying story to all of this things happening. I wish I could get someone to actually explain it to me. My adoptive parents don't have any explanation to give. So, it's useless asking them about it. The only person that appears knowledgeable as regards history of our clan is Wayne. But I would ra
Collin's POVI wasn't thinking straight when I left Alessia's place. I hope she would be able to forgive me for leaving her with no particular explanation. My whole life is on a racing pedal and getting calls like the one I just did now, means it could be put to an entire stop in a mere minute. I wish fox city had nearby woods that leads to home. I would have shifted and ran my way home. Jumping out of the taxi, I ran to the door opening it up hurriedly. "Surprise!!!" Everyone exclaimed, grinning widely Shutting my eyes tightly to adjust my eyes to the scene in front of me. I almost kissed my teeth. Everyone of my family had a cake and a happy birthday flier and several other balloons. I didn't even realize it was my birthday. I slapped my forehead, "what are you all thinking? You almost made me lose my mind."Wayne laughed, "So sorry, man. Seth made me do it. Says you would take me more serious. I guess he was right."Ester came towards me with an outstretched hand, "Happy birthd
Collin's POVTimes like this are when I almost feel like, I am really not part of the family. But I knew deep within myself that was a lie. They love me just like they love each other. I stared into the mirror in my room and my wolf already surfaced in my eyes."Get back!" I growled at my reflection. They were right and I shouldn't really be angry. There was a time in a city that we lived in, we had just moved there and had been living in it for about six months. The city members weren't that friendly, but we managed to live in it. I seem to be the only one who couldn't take the shit they did. Seth had been the sort of kid who loved having friends. But they bullied him, I was the loner and never wanted any form of friendship. When one of them slightly pushed Seth to the ground one day saying he can't play with them. I said slightly, because it was even a mere jab in the chest. But my blind self and wolf decided to not think of that and raged towards the boy. The goddess must have s
Alessia's POVBeing able to reach Collin had put my mind at rest. I couldn't imagine leaving the confines of the apartment without knowing what went wrong with him exactly. When the taxi stopped in front of the house. I saw Allen by the gate with a worried look on the face. He had tried calling earlier, but I decided against picking his call.I stretched my neck behind him, "what's wrong? Why are you out here?"Allen snorted. "Can you give me a reason behind not picking my call?" I flipped my hair to the back, "because I didn't want to. Do I owe you an explanation for that?" "You know what,it's of no use talking to you right now. I will get to you later. Cara has been calling me and she said your line was unreachable. And asked for us to arrive as soon as we can. My fear right now, is what the hell has happened in that house. I really can't deal right now."His skin look pale, he looked like he would pass out soon. "Can you calm down, please. You might run out of breath like this."
Author's POVEveryone looked back at the direction of the voice. Gregory stood with an emotionless face, glaring down at them. If he wasn't trying to be so lenient, he would have had Alessia thrown into one of the dark rooms where he enjoys punishing anyone who dares to question him. Alessia gulped hard, even though her palms were so sweaty they were beginning to slip from her tight fist she still stood her ground. "Why would you send them on such mission without a proper and actual knowledge of the environment you are headed!" She glared, stomping her feet. "Alessia!" Miranda called out weakly, worried as to what her father might do to her daughter. Gregory ignored his granddaughters tantrums, and gave her a toothy smile. "I blame Miranda for not having enough time to train you on this things like she was suppose to. As a member of the Winter family. It is your duty to ensure taking any risk as long as you do what is right and hunt down any werewolves that come in sight.""And ho
Alessia's POV"This is really bullshit!" I blurted out in anger, splattering spittle on Cara and Allen. Not like I care to say sorry though. "Can you calm your nerves?" Allen mumbled. I turned to him with my raging anger, "how do you expect me to? My mother is on the sick bed, wallowing in pain and there goes my awesome grandfather who thinks it's heroic of her. Is it that I am the only sane one in this entire house!" Allen and Cara practically rolled their eyes at me, as if whatever I was saying sounded like a banned music. I don't know if they are in some sort of coup that I do not know of. But, whatever it is running through this lots head. it's surely not of a sane person. I have watched my mother cower in fear in front of her father everytime she is in his presence. What surprises me the most, is how cold he is towards his said children. Despite, my father's presence lacking in my life. I have seen people like Ashley's father, who protects and loves their children like their
