Xander not letting her use her own cards that her father left for her to pay for anything
he was completely covering all her expenses today
Do you want to try Bloomingdales? he asked as they came to the store she shrugged I'm not very familiar with brands
then ill introduce you he grinned he led her into the store getting the sales assistants to help and
buying her some nice outfits before leaving the store and entering the next one
he took her around from store to the next getting her

to beautiful fancy dresses with elegant high heel shoes that she protested she wouldn't have anywhere to wear them
as lovely, they were it's not like angels went to balls or fancy events where they would be required to dress up all fancy
he still made her try them anyways so he could take pictures of her

30 YEARS AGO"Hey Shakyra where are you off to this early in the morning?"called the curious tones of my best friend.As I hustled out the back door and across the yard,Xander D'Angelos eighteen-year-old boy that lived next door,I peeked over the wall that separated our homes,and spotted him going through his usual morning Taiichi exercise routine with his dad.He was shirtless, and I felt heat flush my cheeks at the sight of all his exposed muscles,something that had been occurring more often lately.In recent months, I had grown very attracted to my best friend of the past seventeen years of my life,and it was getting ever harder to ignore, It didn't help that between his Japanese dad and American mother,he ended up with the
Xanders Pov"What the hell was that?" Azeazel demanded the moment she was out of hearing range,He was still going through the Tai-chi exercises,but he was pissed because of what I had doneHe had been the one to raise me and train me ever since he had found me In that orphanage."She's my true mate and I've decided that I will claim her"I stated"Xander we have talked about this," he said his tone told me he was at the end of his patience,"No, you talked about this" I responded pissed off as well" you're the one who told me that if I claimed her, I would be making her target for our enemies,that her life would forever be in constant danger, that I could never be with her if I wanted to truly protect her, and yet despite all of that,she and I are mea
Shakyra's PovI stepped off the bus at the Fifth of Maine street along with everyone else,Its was pretty much the main bus stop if you wanted to get anywhere in the city so it was usually pretty crowdedThere were a few younger kids who were on their way to summer camp,at the junior high school just across the streetthe kids were crossing the street at the pedestrian crossing in the middle of the intersectionwhen the sound of screeching tires on asphalt brought a halt to their little procession,looking up I could see an out of control car flying towards themthe other kids scattered dashing across the street in panic,and getting out of the path of the oncoming vehicle,all except for one little girl about eight or nine years old,she
PRESENT DAY KYRAI was standing on the edge of the yard watching myself with the handsome white-haired silver-eyed boy next door watching him kiss me hold me we loved each otherknew each other so well Lucid dreaming again my heart ached for what was to come, the moment I died,it always happened at first, I tried to stop it only to realize I couldn'tI came to realize it wasn't just a dream but a memory that seemed to be stuck on replay inside my head,it wasn't my memory, not the present me but perhaps a memory of the past me in some life that had ceased to exist long agoshe looked only slightly different than I do now her hair was reddish-brown than crimson and black-streaked two-toned like mine was now,she was also slightly taller less curvy but she was also different in personality, she was less stubborn,
The morning of the placement trails dawned like a clear bell in Kyra's mind,she woke from her slumber stretching with a yawn in the early morning sunlightlistening to the sound of the forest waking around her, birds chatter in the treetops, insects buzzingthe nearby river nearby gurgled merrily,flowing along for the past two weeks she had camped out deep in the woods where she could be alone for her own intensive training in preparation of the day's challenges,she was as ready as she could ever be to take on the trialsshe got her towel and bath things out of her backpack, in the tent and went down to the river,she washed and herself clean and prepared for the day all of her focus was now internal she washed her fiery red hair and brushed it outand then carefully braided it winding it into a neat bun on top of her head so it wouldn't draw too much attention or get i
