Miranda's POV"I promise to talk to her Carla, please." I tried to reason with the raging woman on the other end of the phone."Patrick is so unhappy and you know how much he loves her. Please talk to her, I don't want my son to do anything crazy." Carla wailed. "Don't worry, they would be back together in no time." I assured her. The line went dead and a hot breath escaped my nostrils. Dad glared at me with those stiff eyes of his that would snuff confidence out of anyone. The phone had been placed on speaker for him to hear."And what is this I am hearing? Why the hell is Alessia misbehaving?" He bellowed in his bass voice. It had fearful shivers running down my spine. I don't think I would ever get used to hearing dad's angry tone. The fear of Gregory Winters is sure the beginning of wisdom. I inhaled, "I don't know yet dad. They are teenagers, probably they got into a small argument. It would sort itself in no time.""It had better sort itself. If not you know what that means.
Alessia's POVHearing mum call out to me had different thoughts coming to my mind. Judging by the look on her face and how rigidly she carried herself back to the study she was coming from, there is no doubt it has something to do with Patrick and I.Really, whatever she has to say, I am in no mood for it. My day has been going smoothly and it was almost surreal. I should have known it was too good to be true. Almost like it's an unlucky charm; the moment everything is going so well something or someone in the case of Patrick or my mum most times would ruin it for me."You should go, she doesn't look too good." Allen adviced, walking past me.Taking In a deep breath, I followed behind her. She was standing by the table with her hand to the back when I got to the study. My presence had been sensed the moment I stepped in. With a vicious look on her face, mum raised her brow. "Why are you hell bent on making me a terrible mother?" I mirrored her expression, folding my arms. "what do y
Collin's POVI held my backpack tightly to my back almost as I waited for Ashley to come. Before I headed to bed late last night, she had texted me to meet up with her as early as I can in school before other people start to arrive. Knowing it has to do with her discovery as regards my necklace. I was feeling a bit anxious, I couldn't tell what I was expecting. But at th same time, I just feel it's appropriate for me to know why it looks so extraordinary. If it were up to me I would have taken it off, since none of the guys my age have something so odd on themselves. But I am a werewolf, which is a fact and might be the reason behind my possession of it. Being sincere with myself, the only reason I haven't taken it off is all because it's the only personal thing that reminds me of my mum. Everytime my hand brushes through it, it feels like she is close to me. The nightmares have heightened and it keeps pointing towards some evil people trying to reach me through the necklace. Prob
Collin's POVI rubbed at my forehead lightly, this is like the last person I want to see. And I wasn't even expecting to come across him at all. It's not like we have anything doing together. Why he was early to school surprised me? But when I stood up trying to ignore him, I realized Ashley and I have been seated for quite a while and students have started arriving."Let's just leave, Collin." Ashley said, holding my hand. We didn't get to take a foot as Patrick stood in our way. "Not so fast you both. Does anyone of you intend to explain to me what you are both doing in the garden all alone without Alessia?" "How is that any of your business?" I retorted, not feeling the need to be cool. My insides are boiling. Patrick let out a snort, "are you screwing her alongside Alessia too?"I was about to give him a dose of his own pill for disrespecting Ashley but she was quicker than me, as she dashed Patrick an eye turning slap. "Don't you ever mention my name in such filth again! I a
Alessia's POV"Calm down Alessia, stop pacing around." Allen cautioned me.I threw him a vicious glare ignoring his advice. I still didn't want to believe that Patrick stooped so low to cause trouble for Collin. Not only did he make Collin the bad egg, he also had him suspended and that is something I am not going to allow.Staring at the principals door, for it to burst open any moment from now had me on the edge. I want to hit him across the face so hard till he falls down flat on his face. It's so surreal that I had been into someone as loose headed as him.My eyes went towards Ashley who had her arms wrapped around herself. Despite having Ashley as the witness to the whole fight scene. The principal listened to what Patrick and his mother had to say instead and had Collin thrown out of the school like a piece of trash. I walked up to Allen, "I am calling Ashley's dad right now." "Don't Alessia. Just let it be. It would be too much trouble for Collin, you know how powerful Patric
Collin's POVCharlie drove us down to a fastfood not too far from the police station, my heart wasn't settled as I keep thinking of what might be running through his mind. One of the major reasons I stayed away from trouble was to avoid having to put in any pressure on my adoptive parents. I love the both of them too much to want to cause them any harm. But in all truth someone like Patrick does not deserve to be let off freely. Even if Alessia had made him manhandling her just to gain pity. He had proven her right by acting inappropriately with Ashley. But the matter on hand isn't about any of them. I'm more worried about Charlie planning on how to break it to me that I have to leave their house. As hard as I might look as a person, anybody shouldn't be surprised if I break down in tears pleading to be taken back. I stared at his back as he ordered for our food, he had offered to get both of our food. My heart almost jumped out of my mouth when Charlie returned to the table. "You
Alessia's POVI sat down in the middle of the room being the centre of attention. After leaving the school I decided to take a long stroll to clear my head, there was no need telling what I would be facing in the house. Rather than run from it; I decided to prepare myself mentally. But nothing prepared me for the presence of the whole community also regarded as my entire family ready to delegate on my matter. The one person that I feared the most, my grandfather; grandpa Gregory Winters. That man scares the shit out of me with Gus dominance. They must have been awaiting my return, because the moment I stepped into the living room they were all sitted looking crossed at me. And a chair that reminded me of the witness box was placed in the middle of them all.Without being told, I sat my butt down on it looking up at everyone as I expected them to say something already. One look at Joxer and I was ready to result to violence and flip the chair at him. That man has no reasoning bone in
Collin's POVIt's been a week of me fulfilling my suspension duties and it feels like the end of the world for me. I have to wait up for everyone else to return home and get to talk to actual people. I am definitely going to have Patrick's head if I get hold of him."Stop cursing the plates out Collin!" Ester yelled out.I stomped my feet in frustration, drying my palm on the napkin I pulled out my phone to check for the time. It's barely noon. I would really cry at this point. What in the world did I do to deserve this confinement?"If you keep mumbling at every task you get to do in the house. You might as well find somewhere to go." Said Ester as she walked into the kitchen. "Mum, I am tired." I whined."Awwn, my baby." She pulled at my cheek. "You should have known better before getting into a fight. And here you are stuck with me. How about Alessia?" I sighed at that looking all serious, "I think she has been grounded, or probably she has dumped my ass."Ester laughed heartily,
