Octavia POV"Octavia...Octavia." The sound of my name became clearer, and the voice sounded really familiar, it belongs to mother. But, where I she?I felt a tap on my body, and I jerked, as my eyes flew open, that was when it dawned on me, that it was all a dream. It wasn't reality, I can't believe I got so scared in the dream. Letting out a sigh, I yawned tiredly, and sat up on the mat, before raising my gaze to see mom, still standing, but not as happy as usual. She always try to put on a smile for my sake, even when she's tired, and the woman standing before me now, is not like my cheerful mother."Mother?" I called, and rubbed my eyes to see her clearly.A drop of tears slid down her cheeks, and I just couldn't help, but got worried. What could be wrong with her? Did she got hurt?"What happened mother?"

It was her Mr handsome, the weird guy. Slowly, she found her anger, dissipating slowly, the blaze on her body slowly faded away, as her eyes became normal pale blue again. In as much as she wanted to run, she just couldn't bring herself to doing it, as she found her curiosity to know who he was, kept getting the best of him. She turned to face her fully, maintaining her distance, so she could run for her dear life, if anything goes wrong. "We met again." He smiled at her, as he batted his long lashes, a sweet and most beautiful smile, settling on his face, and as his dimples formed on his both cheeks, she just couldn't help, but drool at the dem

He looked so perfect, when he laughs, the world stops to listen to his sweet voice, how could a man be this handsome. Octavia stared at her prince charming in confusion, wondering what was happening, she just couldn't bring herself to understanding the situation on ground, so she just gave him a blank face.

Were you thinking that I was going to hurt you?" He asked her, as he chuckled, which only lasted for a few seconds, before it slowly dissipated into a huge frown.Octavia stared blankly at him blankly, as the thoughts of the young man, playing pranks on he
Chapter TwelveOctavia POV"Why are you always out every night?" He asked me the most difficult question, which I never wanna think about.I snapped my head to look at him, with a blank expression on my face? How can I possibly bring myself to tell him that this is the only time I always have to go out? He will think I'm weird, if I tell him that for the past years I've been into existence, I've never seen what the sunlight look like, he will think I'm being crazy, right? Just how can I tell him that I've been locked up inside the room, ever since I was born?"It's ok if you don't want to talk about it." He finally spoke up.Just how much I've wanted this, I don't wanna talk about anything that'll hurt me, I just wanna enjoy this moment."So, can we be friends?"

Trying to ignore the noise, and focused on getting fresh air, but something kept pulling me my attention to the growls, and I found myself, snapping my eyes around the place, trying to know where the sound was coming from, but it seemed to be so far, that even my wolf, can't seem to decipher, where it was coming from.Teleporting to the woods, I looked around the forest, as I paid attention to the sound, with my mind, that's the only way I can get the exact place without difficulties.

I heard his voice in my head, and I gasped silently, as I stared at him in shock. Did he just speak in my head? How the heck did that happened? Father can do this?"Don't come out please."
