Sally's POV"Where have you been all these years, Sally?" Grandpa asked, his eyes still watering. My tears have dried, I can't cry anymore.Just as I answered, my grandmother came back into the room with a tray of coffee for the three of us to hold onto to catch up with each other.The last time they heard from me was in Paris, the day before things calmed down. Since then, reaching them has been only possible by getting them involved in this mess. They didn't know about my grandfather's passing.“Grandpa… he died the day after I called you.”My grandmother gasped in disbelief."He was assassinated. We had to move out of headquarters and move to Northern France for a year. We moved back to Paris after the burial and left America for 2 years. And came back here recently." I summarize, leaving the part where I was also shot, although it was not my time to go, it felt like it.At this moment, I cannot tell them about what happened to their daughter. I can't tear what's been sewn, I can't
Third person POVThe woman then followed her gaze before frowning, rather mischievously. "Oh, so you love me when I load your plate with food."Smiling and walking back to her seat, Sally placed a kiss on the woman's cheek and a kiss on her grandfather's cheek. "Good morning,"They responded to the girl's gesture with a gentle smile on their faces. Her grandfather spoke first. "You look like your mother, beautiful." He placed a gentle kiss on her temple as he went to refill her coffee cup.Before Sally's grandmother sat down next to her husband, she put the frying pan back on the stove. "My friend and I went shopping today." Her grandmother excitedly announced.Sally was about to argue and protest, but the woman shot her down faster than any bullet in the world. "Need me to remind you that you brought no clothes, and I don't want you to cause scandal by running around town naked."Looking disgusted, Sally stared at her grandmother, mouth agape. "Why am I running around town, naked, ex
Third person POVOn the other hand, he looks uncomfortable and lost. Sally noticed the tired look in his eyes again. She was only gone for one day."This Alpha male says his name is Ryan, and our niece is his mate." Sally felt her cheeks heat up as soon as her grandfather said that."I'm not his mate," Sally said. The two elders flicked their heads to look at her, frowned, and asked her to explain their situation. "I turned him down."Now, the look on their faces said they didn't see it coming. "Why? If I may ask." Her grandmother wondered.Sally's eyes locked on him the second the question echoed throughout the room before looking away. What surprised her next was that he was the one who answered them. "I broke her heart."Hell, he did, but for her, it was like freeing them from the burden of being partners.She frowned, what annoyed her the most was how he knew about the existence of her other grandparents. Could it be that he went to that old woman for help? Maybe...Putting her sh
Sally's POV"What are you thinking?" His voice calmed the riot in my head. However, I couldn't keep the frown from my face.At first, I was going to ignore him, but I remembered how persistent and annoying he could be if he didn't get what he wanted. "Way to stay away from you," I grumbled."Why?" He asked simply.Frustrated, I responded the way I knew how. Hurt people and push them away. "Because you're suffocating me."Silence loomed in the car like dark clouds hovering above our heads. The only noise that reduces stress to a small extent is the music coming from the radio."Does what happened between us this past week mean nothing to you?" His question cut through the silence.When it comes to protecting myself, this is what I do best. "Is there something to it? I mean, I'm just with you so you can get better. But looking at you now, you look better and healthier than when I first saw you. So, I guess my work is done. And that means I can go wherever I want."From the corner of my
Sally's POVAfter that escape I ran away, it seemed like my grandmother had doubled the security around me. Darius is still there, but in a few days, he will return to his homeland. I will miss him, very much.The meltdown that happened a few days ago showed him how difficult it was to be around me, and it made him even more protective of me than he already was.Going downstairs, I was hoping to leave the house for a while to rest. But what annoyed me was that the whole house was locked. I was on the verge of breaking down the front door until someone walked in.It's Ryan."Think about it, where are you going?" He asked, arching his eyebrows in support of his notion.Agitated by this sudden house arrest, I replied. "Get out.""Why?" He was annoyed.My nose flared angrily. "Last time I checked, this is still my house. Therefore, you have no right to enter here." I tried to avoid him but failed when he stopped me."What's wrong with you?" My tone was interrupted."I said leave me alone.
Third person POVThe night of the third full moon was haunting and cold. Everyone had gone to sleep when suddenly. “Ryan,” She whispered his name in her dream.“I want you to find me and save me.” She said before disappearing into the clearing, in front of him was a waterfall flowing in a stream, the only light source to guide him was the moonlight shining down. The girl is standing by the river bank.Ryan woke up startled when he felt his wolf stand on all fours, his wolf suddenly woke up and got wary before screaming. “She's calling.”He was surprised by the sudden appearance of his wolf but frowned at what he had said as he gradually understood what the wolf meant.“Our partner's subconscious is calling to us.” Where is she?His wolf spoke again. With wobbly legs, Ryan got out of bed, quietly exited the house, and sniffed the air around him, trying to figure out exactly what.When he smelled the faint scent of raspberry vanilla in the air, he followed where it led him to a waterfal
Sally's POVI woke up in bed and the first thing I saw was a black curtain that had never existed in my room before. Frowning in confusion, I looked around the room, and it finally dawned on me that this was not my room.There was a faint scent of vanilla and cinnamon in the air. Why am I in his room? How did I even get here?Gently rolling back, I felt an arm on my waist. Looking up at the owner of the arm, he was still sleeping soundly, looking so peaceful. I didn't have the heart to wake him or push him away.Instead, I studied his features, he was beautiful. His parents certainly did a great job producing and birthing him. The way his eyelashes curled beautifully, how warm his chocolate eyes were when he looked at me, his perfect white skin, his sharp nose, his kissable lips (I can say this because I kissed him ), and when he smiled that place would light up.Ugh… I'm so sad.“Why don't you take a photo, it will last longer?” He said surprising me.Well, now that he's awake, I can
Sally's POV“Sister Sally,” Simon's voice seemed small at first as he quickly spoke. “Do you want to join or watch us practice today?”My eyes must have sparkled with excitement as the whole group giggled my way.“You look lovely, Sally.” Athena chirped happily. “I wish you looked like that when I invited you out for a nice shopping trip.”"I like it so much." Out of the corner of my eye, I knew Ryan wanted to protest but he kept quiet, which I was grateful for. I need this, I need.After breakfast, Simon took me to their practice area. All are fully equipped and ready to use. They have outdoor and indoor practice courts, and today, they decided to use the outdoors. The warriors even brought out a long table with weapons laid out on it, presumably for me to use.I changed into a black tank top from Athena, and even brand-new underwear. But the shirt I was wearing earlier was indeed Ryan's."Are you sure you want to do this?" Ryan asked, sounding quite scared to me.“This is just a pra
