" You don't have to worry, I will protect you," he added almost immediately, just to assure Lexa.The corner of Lexa's lips suddenly curled up, and she nodded on her own accord. " I trust you." Though, her flushed face was still yet to disappear, but she didn't care about that anymore. Since, there was nothing she could do to it, she decided to ignore it then. Those three words were like sweet honey to Arnold, and he couldn't stop himself from blushing inwardly. His heart fluttered lightly, and something felt warm in him. He had to close his eyes to calm himself down, before he utter anything. He didn't know why, but the three words from Lexa made him feel an unexplainable happiness, and he felt like, he was her striking knight in shining armor. " Relax and hold me tight," Arnold's voice sounded, as he opened his eyes. Instantly, Lexa did as he said and rested her whole body on Arnold's wolf back. Once Arnold felt she was fully balanced, he started his fast pace again. They had to
Human world (Phoenix City, America.) Lexa could still feel how her back hurt so badly, and her tears won't stop flowing like a sad river. She winced in pain, as she tried to reach for the wound on her back with her right hand and hissed loudly. She slumped on her bed weakily and sobbed harder.Lexa couldn't comprehend why her foster mother always treats her cruelly, not like she has done anything wrong to her as long as she could remember. So why? She thought she was too little to go through all these, the pains were getting much for her and can't seems to take them anymore. She was exhausted of getting beaten everyday, receiving different rains of curses, not having regular meals, and doing chores that wasn't meant for her age. For crying out loud, am just twelve! Lexa bursted out with frustration and gripped the blanket harshly. She just wanted to be free from all these, believing it was best to be alone but knew it won't be possible, as she was still a kid. Then, her mind raced
Lexa's eyes widened and tried to evade the incoming plate, but it was futile, as her sharp reflexes weren't awaken yet. The incoming plate scratched her left arm a bit, and she yelped while using her right arm to grabbed her injured left arm. She lifted her face up, little tears were already dropping from her wee eyes, and she stared at her foster mother. If looks could kill, Camela would have been ten feet beneath the ground. She didn't know why her foster mother was this cruel, but it was killing her internally! " How dare you stare at me like that?!" Camela roared at Lexa and scooted towards the latter, planning to give her a hit. Camela really abhorred her foster daughter, but the reason was only known to her. Seeing Lexa everyday annoys her, but there was nothing she could do, except to make her life a hard one, cause she thought that was the best way to make herself happy Lexa turned back and went ahead to where her chores were, leaving Camela alone on standing. But deep insi
The librarian looked taken aback and adjusted her eyeglass, her gaze changed into a weird one. It seems she wasn't expecting that and arched her thin brows, " Excuse me?"It was somehow rare for a person to ask such things in a library, not to talk of a little kid. The librarian narrowed her eyes and wondered why the little girl requested such a thing. Lexa sensed how the librarian gaze changed, and she frowned slightly but decided to look for a way to convince the librarian. And soon enough, a little bulb lit inside her head. She blinked her eyes and parted her lips slightly, " I was experimenting somethings about flowers with good scent a while ago, and I suddenly became curious to know if there was a way to hide their scents."Lexa really hoped for the librarian to buy her pretty lie as that was the only solution her brain could come up with. " Hummm," The librarian nodded her head, but her eyes never left Lexa, and it made the latter to feel uncomfortable, but there was nothing
Lexa opened her eyes and felt somehow different but didn't take note of that. She sniffed herself and surprisingly, her strong scent was gone, but it appeared like a dream to her. And she sniffed her body again, but it was still the same result. Delighted, she really didn't expected that but realizing the meditation was successful, her happiness bursted out. Now, I only have to wait for the right time before I escape from all these, Lexa thought and climbed up her bed. The day was a good one for her, and she thanked her stars internally. Hours passed by until it was finally dusk, the big flaming ball was beginning to set, and it was taking away it bright glory. Lexa was taking a peaceful nap, but it was interrupted by a loud bang on her door. " Stupid girl, come out! You have a job to do!" Lexa groaned annoyingly and muttered an inaudible curse but since this was her cross, she had to bear with it. " Am coming."Then, she quickly got up from her bed and dashed out of her room to
" Is there anything I need to do?" Her dull voice came out, and she arched her brows. Lexa was still on her all black dress, but she definitely looked more than a seventeen years old girl. Camela glared daggers at the young girl and hissed. Then she snapped, " Am I supposed to tell you what you ought to do?! " Go clean up the whole house!" Honestly, she had no idea when Lexa became this bold, but it didn't bother her as she still has the upper hand. " But I just came back, and besides am not a maid to do that, "She crossed her arms over her chest and scoffed loudly. " Do that or else, no lunch and dinner for you!" Camela flicked Lexa's forehead, which had the latter to almost lost her balance, and she turned away while indicating a sign with her right fingers, " Am giving you just three minutes to get your ass down here!"Lexa grumbled and smacked her left fist on the wall, but she didn't flinched, as the anger she felt had overwhelmed her. I wish I was eighteen already, she
" I don't really know, but she doesn't looks like she belong here, " The owner of the second voice, which sounded like a female's voice, seems confused. Lexa overhead what they were discussing, and instantly knew it was about her, but she didn't know who they were, so she wasn't sure if she should reveal herself or not. " Am thinking she is a rogue, cause she appeared like one especially with her outfit, but her scent smells weird," The male's voice sounded, but the young teen couldn't see him and the second person, who was a female.Lexa was still hanging upside down on the tree, and it was really getting uncomfortable for her, but she was scared of saying anything, as she was still trying to know if those two people talking were bad people or vice versa. But she desperately wanted to get down from this awkward position. " Same here too, but what could she be doing here? I can't say she is a human as her scent isn't like one, but at the same time, she doesn't carry the scent of ou
Scott also felt the same way, and it confused him. Why am I having a strange attraction towards a stranger and a werewolf rogue to be precise? He questioned himself thoughtfully. It was puzzling for the Alpha, and he looked over to his Luna but noticed Emilia's gaze was sort of odd. Is she also feeling that way? Scott inquired himself inwardly, then shifted his face to Lexa. Lexa's gaze was now on the ground, so she didn't see how the Luna and the Alpha were staring at her in a peculiar manner. Her mind was on another thing entirely, and she dreaded for the worst. She wanted to leave this place, as she was feeling too uneasy. The others said nothing, and only awaited what Scott and Emilia were going to say. Though, the Beta observed the weird gaze of Scott and Emilia, but he wasn't sure. Scott managed to put himself together and cleared his throat, " What is your name young girl?"His question had everyone present to widened their eyes, cause they all knew Scott as a brutal Alpha,
