"How come you're not connected with anyone?" Melodie asked. "I don't understand," Heyli said in confusion. "On the first day you shifted to a Kanime, someone was meant to take charge of you. Like your master. They control you and all that. But back at the woods, you were so confused Soni figured no one was controlling you," "Ohh, that. Alex helped me. I'm getting there." "Alright." "I'll need another burger and chips, please!" Melodie called the waitress. "Melodie!" Kayla scolded. "Remember it's not your bill to play? Have some respect." "Heyli is my friend and she's got it for me." "That's disrespectful, Melodie," I'm smiling. "It's fine, Kayla. She can have whatever she wants. You also can," Melodie stuck out her tongue at Kayla. "I'm fine. Melodie can have whatever she wants," We waited for Melodie to place her order before I continued. "Athena wanted me dead. I was sent to attack her and I nearly killed her but Alex saved her and I was caged till I shifted back to no
"Bianca should cut herself some slack," Kayla grunted as they walked down the street. "Loki doesn't even care about her," Heyli, who had been lost in deep thought, spoke. "But why would she think he's interested in me? I find that absolutely ridiculous." "Because he actually is," Melodie sneakered. "He isn't!" Heyli countered. "I don't even like him," Kayla and Melodie looked at Heyli and laughed. "You're actually serious?" "About what?" Heyli frowned in absolute confusion. "What the hell are you talking about?" "You're lying about not liking Loki. It's obvious! You really like him. I see it in the way you look at him!" Melodie said and laughed. "I see it, too." Kayla agreed. "You both are blind," Heyli said and frowned. "You know it's not a crime if you like him?" Heyli nodded. "I know it isn't a crime. That's why I'm telling you that I don't like him!" "Heyli!" Someone called behind them and they all turned to see Loki standing a few meters away. It seemed like he had
Heyli was in her study when a knock sounded on the door. She raised her head, wondering who would be knocking by this time of the day. Damien was out with some of the council members for a meeting in the neighboring pack which I had refused to attend, Heyli was out with Loki and an instruction had been passed to the maids not to disturb my peace. "Alexander, what do you want?" He was the only one around. She was sure of it. The door was pushed open to admit him in. His hair was wet and he looked like he had showered. "Why are you in my office instead of in your room, cleaning your hair?" Not minding if he was looking wet, he took a seat on the long couch in the room and lay his head on the arm rest. His legs were too long for the chair so they dangled as he watched her. He looked like a little boy who had just done something mischievous and was waiting for his mother to scream and make him laugh. "Why didn't you tell me about the waterfall in Antarti? I just discovered it t
Alex kissed her again. He kissed her with all fervency, pulling her to him and moaning. He didn't have to say anything. Athena believed him. She believed she could converse through kissing and that was what they were both doing. Alex finally released her and kissed her on the forehead. "If we continue kissing, we might never go to the waterfall," Athena nodded and leaned up to kiss him again but he moved his head away. He laughed. "We'd do all of that and more at the waterfall, okay?" Athena nodded. "I'll send one of the maids to prepare a picnic basket and blankets. Did you find a place we might sit?" Alex nodded. "Yes, I did. There's a cave very close to the waterfall. We can lay there and listen to the sound of the water. We can see it, too," Athena nodded. "Alright. Meet me outside. Is it accessible by vehicles?" "Not really. We can walk there. It's not that far." In thirty minutes, they were both set. Alexander took the picnic basket from her hand and took her hand. As th
"I can't climb with a dress, you dolt!" Athena screamed as she hung off one of the dents in the rock. Alex was down below and he was laughing so hard that Athena wished she could drop and become a mangled mess so he would feel guilty for putting her through this. "I trust you!" Alex said out loud. "You're going to be in situations like this that don't favour you. I trust you enough, sweetheart!" Athena ignored him and focused on climbing. Her breathing was heavy and her hand and back hurt. Even her knees had joined in and she was aware that soon, her other joints would join in against her. She craned her head to see that she was almost done with climbing. So she used that optimism and continued her journey. "I trust you, baby! I trust that you'll get there." Athena ignored him and took her final lunch. When she got to the top of the rock, she fell flat on her back to catch her breath. The sun was out and today seemed like it was going to be a good day. Smiling in mischief,
Once Alexander was done massaging her hand, he looked at her. "Still feeling any pain?" Athena shook her head. "No, I'm not.".then she turned to look at the waterfall as water splashed against the rock. "This is a beautiful sight to watch, Alex. Thank you for bringing me here," "You should apologize, too," Alex added. Athena turned to look at him. "Why?" "You didn't want to come because you felt it wasn't important enough." Leaning against him, she stroked his chin. "I'm sorry, Alex. I'm sorry for making that statement. It was insensitive." Alex nodded. "It's alright. At least, you are here now and you can see that it is important after all," "Of course." "Come here," Alex commanded and she did. He spread his legs to gain her easy access and she rested against his chest. They sat in silence, watching as the water splashed against the rocks and fell downwards into a small pool. "Where's the water coming from?" Athena asked as she raised her head to look at him. He kissed
Alex, when he finally surfaced, glared at her. "You're going to regret this!" He called out from the top of his voice. Athena burst into laughter. "Of course, I know." Alex glared playfully at her and swam a little before turning back to look up at her. "What are you waiting for? To be pushed?" Athena looked down at the water. She could see jagged rocks at the edge of the water and somehow, she became nervous. How had she pushed Alex so spontaneously that she hadn't seen that dangerous spot? They were lucky that he hadn't hit the wrong place. Athena could imagine his brains being washed away by the water stained with blood. "I can't," She replied. "Why?" "Those sharp rocks. What if I hit my head and die?" Alex facepalms and bursts into laughter. "You literally pushed me. Why didn't you think of that then?" Alex was looking at her. She looked like a little child and was absolutely adorable. "I didn't see it. I'm just seeing it now." "Do you know how to swim?
Alexander cradled her in his arms and slapped her cheek lightly but there was no response from her. Alex was getting worried. He lay her gently on the ground and lowered his head onto her bare chest. She was breathing quite fine but she was still unconscious. Then he placed both hands on her chest and began to push. Water spurted out of her mouth in small quantities and after a while, she coughed violently and her face reddened as her body jerked upwards. He immediately lifted her up in his laps. "Athena?" She slowly opened her eyes and looked at Alex before looking around her. She sat up slowly and Alex's hand didn't leave her. "What happened?" Alex sighed and sat back on the floor. "You swam towards the waterfall even after I asked you not to go there! You nearly died!" Athena seemed to still be disoriented. She looked down at her naked body. "How did I get naked?" "You shape shifted," Athena's eyes widened in surprise. "That's not true, Alex. I don't
