Alessia's POVI hate surprises and unannounced visits, not me walking into the living room with the thought of finding something nice prepared by Cara to eat, call Collin and talk for long hours then get some good sleep. But instead, I walked in to find Patrick and my mum chatting loudly like they are old friends of some sort. My already partially ruined day is officially ruined. "There she is." Mum called out the moment she laid her eyes on me. Patrick had a smirk that I would really love to wipe off his face. "Hey there beautiful." He drawled.This asshole never stops to amuse me. How dare he try to act sly with me. "What is he doing here mum?" I directed my question at her.He grinned unbothered, "since you wouldn't reach out to me, I decided to do so instead. I am the guy In the relationship after all."Allen chortled, causing me to burn holes into him with my glare. I sighed rubbing at my forehead, the icecream I had is becoming a disturbance to the peace of my belly. "You k
Alessia's POVI was all smiles as I saw Patrick off, this was the first time I actually did notice a genuine smile from him to. Can't believe the both of us have been choked by the so called relationship so far and we kept pushing on just to please our inconsiderate parents. Didn't realize I was hopping my way back into the house until I heard my mum call me from behind. "I see you both have finally resolved your differences." She teased smiling brightly.Uncle Walter chuckled, "young love is beautiful, see how bright and happy she looks at the mere sight of him."Mum did a dramatic sigh, "And here I was worrying myself over nothing, thinking you both actually meant the breakup. You should thank me for allowing him in, since you were hell-bent on sending him out of the house." Just to make her feel really good about herself. I hugged her tightly, kissing her cheek."I have some assignments to do. See you all." I said hurriedly, running off the stairs before they pull me right back.
Alessia's POVAfter Cara left, Allen still bore holes into me with his eyes. "You had better have an actual explanation for what I just heard right now. But I will hold on to it after we are done seeing grandpa." He mused, leaving the room.He didn't even let me say anything before cutting me off, rude much! I sat back in the bed with a huff. What In the world does grandpa have to say this time around? I hate sitting in family meetings called by him, it takes such a long while I start to feel sleepy while at it. Placing my phone underneath my pillow, I stepped out of the room. Allen had gone past me and couldn't even think it right to wait up for me. As always I will be tagged as the always late one. I was right about being the last person to arrive, they were all seated before me. But then when I looked around my aunt ingrid hasn't arrived yet. My role model! She is the only Winters that has refused to let the family tradition deter her from following her dreams. She is always up
Collin's POVThe rest of the day had gone smoothly, returning home with a sober and sorry Wayne made Annette really happy. Mum couldn't stop thanking me for talking some sense into him. If only they know what mess we might be getting into. During dinner, following Wayne's order. I had texted my brothers and Charlie asking them to let's meet up at the roof. Seth overtly excited state almost gave us away.Luckily, both Annette and Ester decided to retire early for the night. Despite having the whole living room to ourselves, we still chose to meet at the roof top. Charlie was already sitted, drinking from a bear bottle with a relaxed look on his face. Rodger and the rest arrived a bit later. "Ah, it's so nice seeing all of son's gather in one place. Did you all miss your father so much? Is that why you called this meeting?" He bombarded us. I had almost forgotten that Charlie has a clown like behavior whenever he intends to show it off. We all laughed at his joke. When the noise di
Alessia's POV"Please you both, it's too early for your drama." Aunt Ingrid moaned in distress as Allen and I barged into her room bickering at each other. Last night when she had arrived we didn't get to talk to her because of an international call that took so long. I was practically dozing off alongside Allen and she had to ask Cara to help us to our various rooms. However, this morning came with an entirely different drama with Allen choosing violence as his wake up call. "Why are you both on each other's neck this morning?" She inquired again when the both of us stood rigid glaring at each other."Ask her!" Allen glared.Aunt ingrid and her usual dramatic way of responding to things, turned to me with an eye roll. "He said to ask you."Flapping my arms I stared innocently at her, "I don't know what he is talking about aunt." Allen stood wide-eyed, "how is it that you lie so smoothly? Before we got called for the family meeting yesterday. What did I ask you to do?" Closing my
Alessia's POVI watched Allen fight the car like he was battling with some sort of seizure. The car only needed it's button to be pressed to start, but instead he resolved to acting blind. After we left our aunts room, we had gotten dressed hurriedly to make it to school just in time. But Allen's mood doesn't seem to align with the said plan. "Why in the world aren't they working!" He yelled slamming his hand on the dashboard."How about you calm your nerves. What's eating you up Allen?" I yelled at him.Allen hissed, "Aunt Ingrid raving mad is eating me up!" "Calm down, I know what this is about but I will need you to relax your nerves " "How leesha? Just how? You act like you don't know how much heartbreak aunt Ingrid has been subjected to. And now she is going through with it yet again! I love her too much I can't watch her lose her mind yet again. This is going to be a complete disaster." He groaned trying to keep himself together. I can't deny the fact that Allen is absolutel
Collin's POVMy eyes have really got to be deceiving me, I still don't want to believe Ariel is a transfer student right here in my new school and she lives in fox city too. Ariel is one of the girls that had somewhat caught my interest in the city we lived in before now, the most intriguing thing about her that made us quite friendly to each other is the fact that she is also a werewolf. But more of a stray since her family are long dead. Her zeal to make something better of herself is worth emulating and I never cease to tell her about it at every chance I get. Since we had to leave hurriedly, like our usual way of leaving a place. I couldn't get to say a proper goodbye to her or keep her contact.One of Charlie's rule that none of us must disobey is forgetting and destroying everything that has to do with the city we are leaving behind. Hopefully, we wouldn't have to do the same for fox city. I have never felt so much at home anywhere like I do here. Coming back to school after
Alessia's POVI don't know what it is but I don't feel comfortable with any other girl around Collin. I know I can be quiet possessive, but I just can't help if sometimes. Making my way to the class, I was practically fuming. My body boiled, not just because I didn't know about an Ariel in Collins life before. But because she was clearly throwing a diss at me. "Why do you look like you would love to have a kill?" Ashley asked the moment I got to our seats."Have you met the new girl?" "Oh, Ariel. She does appear quite friendly. Turns out she is Tephanie's cousin." My heart almost plopped out of my chest when I saw the Ariel and Tephanie make their way into the class. The two of them look like beauty goddesses. Do they not have any ounce of empathy in their family, for them to possess such beauty with no remorse.Calm down leesha, calm down. I urged myself. Collin and Allen also made their entry and to my utmost shock Ariel winked flirtatiously at Collin, while Tephanie on the othe
