Alexis’s POVI swallowed hard. I could not possibly blame her for her reaction. Hell, I couldn’t even get angry at her. “I’m sorry,” I found myself saying.“For what exactly?” She asked as she folded her arms across her chest and stared at me.I looked down at my feet on the grass, not knowing what to say.She sighed. “Look, Alexis,” her voice was more softer than before. “I’m mad at Alex, and not you,” she said, and I looked at her.She looked exasperated as she looked away from me. “You shouldn’t be the one to suffer for it,”“I guess I deserve it. After all, it’s my fault,” I replied.She shrugged her shoulders. “Maybe,” Just then, Alex walked up to us. “What’s happening?” His voice broke the ominous silence between Gena and I.“Nothing,” I replied and he draped his hand on my shoulder.“Gena?” He asked her, raising a brow in her direction.“Everything is just fine,” she replied.Just then, mom and dad returned, and as they passed us, they hit a pothole and water gushed out. I use
Alex’s POVEveryone seemed to be too stunned to speak after what I had just said. It gave me satisfaction to see them have those confusing and surprised expressions on their faces.“Excuse me?” Alexis’s broke the ominous silence surrounding us.I grinned. “I mean, you’re my sister. It typically means you’re mine forever. My sister forever till date do us back,” I teased. I had meant when I said she was mine. I had meant it with all the fibers in my body and soul. I just had to make a twist in it, so I wouldn’t scare her that much.She moved away from me, and I saw Gena walking up the stairs. I totally ignored her.“Should you not have said it that way instead of your previous statement? Why do you like keeping everyone on their toes?” She asked me, getting riled.“It’s fun. Don’t you think so?” I shrugged and grinned as I looked from Richard to Julia. Their expressions were wild. Except from alpha Kane. He had a stoic look on his face.“It’s not funny sometimes, Alex. What do you thin
Alexis’s POVI walked beside alpha Kane through the lines of the garden walls. His presence brought peace as we talked about the simplest things. His strides were very powerful even as he casually walked beside me.He was interested in anything related to me. I liked him a lot. He was a nice man inside, and I wondered why he portrayed differently outward.“Did you like the flowers I sent to you?” He asked me. His hands were folded behind his back.I nodded with a smile. “I did. I loved them very much. Thank you,” I replied.“So, tell me, aside being the princess of the house, what else do you do?” He asked.“Believe me when I say I barely do anything. I’m either in the garden or indoors on my phone,” I replied.“That’s fine. You’re a flower that shouldn’t be stressed or rough handled,” he said.“I’ve been meaning to ask..” I began, thinking of the best way to ask him what was in my mind.“Go on, my lady,” he urged me as he looked at me with a gentle smile.I inhaled sharply. “Well, wh
Alex’s POV“What do you mean?” I asked, narrowing my eyes at him.He gave a dry chuckle. “What don’t I mean?”“You very well know what’s happening here. So, tell me,” I squared my shoulders.“Of course. I’m not oblivious to my surroundings. I know you’re in love with your sister,” he smirked.I stared at him expressionless. “Believe whatever you want to, Kane. One thing I’m certain about is that my sister will not end up with you. I’ll ensure that,”“Challenge accepted, Alexander. But, I must warn you, I have never lost a challenge,” He replied smugly as he turned around and walked towards his car. His gamma opened the car for him, and he got in.I watch the car drive away and a sudden urge to prove that alpha Kane must have some dirty secrets that I needed to dig out. That would be the only way I could separate him from Alexis. I could see that she was becoming fond of him, and I didn’t like it.Alphas always had a dark secret or a past haunting them. Alpha Kane would be of no differ
"Alex," our dad called out again, his voice firm but worried. "What's going on here?"Alexandra quickly stepped back, releasing me from his grasp. I took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing heart."Nothing, Dad," Alex replied, his voice neutral. "Just a discussion with Lexi."Dad's eyes narrowed. "A discussion that requires you to pin her against the wall?"Alex shrugged. "I was just trying to make a point."Dad's expression turned skeptical. "Well, I think you've made your point. Lexi, are you okay?"I nodded, still trying to process what had just happened. "Yeah, I'm fine."Dad's eyes lingered on me for a moment before turning to Alex. "Alex, can I talk to you for a minute?"Alex nodded, and they walked into the study room, leaving me feeling confused and shaken.What was happening between us? Why was Alex behaving this way? And why did I feel like I was melting every time he touched me?I took a deep breath and tried to shake off the feeling. I needed to focus on something else
Alexis’s POV Five Years Ago It was the morning of Alexandra’s eighteenth birthday. Instead of shouts and laughs of celebration, all I could hear from my room was his angry voice and my parent’s pleading ones. I didn’t understand what was going on, it was his birthday, so why was he angry? I threw my duvet off my body and jumped off the bed as fast as I could. I brushed my teeth at the speed of light and dashed out of my room with the gift I had carefully picked out for my older brother. But I was already too late. His shouts had stopped, and my parents were quiet. And all I caught was a glimpse of his back as he walked out of the door of our home. Foolishly, I ran after him, curious to know why he was leaving with a single bag early in the morning when we already had the entire day planned. “Wait!” I yelled, trying to catch up with him. Maybe it was the sound of my voice and how desperate I sounded, but he did. I stopped a few feet from him and walked around him to see hi
Alexis’s POVIt is a normal tradition to celebrate the 18th birthday of any werewolf. There are quite a number of reasons why, but the most important one to me is that any wolf that turns 18 can now be considered an adult and is free to have a family and if they want to separate from their parents.Maybe that was the reason why Alexandra left without looking back, my subconscious tells me for the thousandth time ever since Alexandra left the house.I shake the thought out of my head and instead wish for something that might be near impossible at this point. It won’t happen, my subconscious tells me in my head, but I shut off her annoying voice and mutter a prayer to Selene…hopefully she’ll grant me my wish.My reflection stares back at me and I blink and smile, showing little teeth to be sure that it’s really me. My hair is in smooth waves down my back almost reaching my waist and my plain brown eyes are lined with, black eyeliner to give my eyes this cute cat-shaped outline. Thanks t
Alexis’s POVDon’t be deceived. The thrill of turning a new age disappears completely after that day. It’s been a full complete week since my birthday and, other than those few minutes of sensation last week, I don’t feel any different than I was when I was 17.My parents say it’s perfectly normal but that my werewolf would naturally want to bond with me in the coming months. I guess I’ll be waiting until then.“We’re heading to the pack house for a meeting with Alexis and your mother and I probably won't be back until late tonight. Will you be okay alone?”My mother butts into the conversation “Or should we call Tonia to stay with you until we’re back?”I resist the urge to yell that I’m now an adult and settle for a loud disappointed sigh. I groaned loudly and replied. “Yes, I’ll be okay on my own, I don’t need you to call me a babysitter.”Surprised by my outburst, they both keep quiet and go on about packing their things. About five minutes later, they leave the house after giving
