CHAPTER 7Alexa's POV The pack was silent. The silence seemed to strangle the little life I had left in me. When I had decided to leave the pack, I was unsure of my decision. But, as I packed the little bag stuffed with clothes and water and bread, I was sure I was making them right decision. The girls I shared the room with were all knocked out, snoring their hearts away and irritating me further.As I finally took a step out, bag in hand, I could feel my heart skip. Not in the lovey dovey way that hearts tend to skip when they see the ones they love, but in a frightened way.I was afraid of the unknown, of the world I was planning to go and call mine. What if things turn out to be worse there than they are here? Obviously I won't be able to return back to the pack because I would be subjected to so much ridicule and probably enough punishments to knock me out for eternity.I shook away the nervous thoughts in my head. No! I should be positive. Positive thinking hurts no one.My m
CHAPTER 8Alexa's POV The covens were exactly how I remembered it. The lights that shine around the numerous clusters of small houses. I walked purposefully, knowing just where I was headed.Alaria had a house in the very heart of the city. When I asked her I remember her saying something about being able to focus better.That was good anyways. Because I would need her utmost focus now. I won't want her performing a spell that might unalive me by accident.The streets seemed to be devoid of life. The very few people I saw paid me no heed, just going on about their day like I did not matter.They were all dressed in the same manner. They were dressed in the same long gown that had a hood and a crest of which ever coven they belonged to.I liked the covens. It was peaceful and united. Although there were numerous covens, they were all under one barrier, making it a mini nation of some sorts.They all looked and related alike. It was almost impossible to tell who was from a different c
CHAPTER 9Alexa's POV Alaria looked at me like I had gone mad, which in truth, I was beginning to think I was.The human world was dangerous and vast. What the humans lacked in strength and agility, they made up for it with wills and brains. They were devilishly smart and always thought of new ways to hurt themselves and everyone around them." I'm being serious Alaria, it's the least you can do for me after everything that has happened" I said, deciding to play the victim card." No, don't do that, don't black mail me into this. Do you know what you are asking for Alexa? And I understand your wolf has not come yet, but what if she is just late. You are a werewolf Alexa, and a strong one at that, running really is not a good idea" she said holding my hands just like she always did when we were kids and I felt bad about something.I pulled my hands from hers, steeling my eyes." Are you going to help me or not. I'm going to the human world with or without your help Alaria." I said.S
CHAPTER 10Alexa's POV A fresh start.The human world was definitely not what I bargained for. It was too much. It was rowdy and no one seemed to care about anyone here.Everyone had a particular purpose and just pushed past to get to their purposes.As I stood there, shoes stained with mud and clothes covered with leaves and dew from the forest, I was sure this would be my fresh start.I had absolutely no idea where to go. But the one thing I knew was I was going to survive and never go back to the packs.I stumbled into a shop, my feet dragging mud as I stepped in.It was a dainty little coffee shop packed full with people sitting at round tables as they sipped coffee and ate round shaped bread.The waitress scrunched up her nose as I approached her. I couldn't blame her though. I looked like something a dog dragged in." What can I get for you?" She said in a condescending voice as she eyed me up and down.I have had my fair share of bimbos, I have talked to enough to know that th
CHAPTER 11Alexa's POV The good Samaritan The door was opened by a little girl. Probably around nine. " Daddy" she yelled happily as she flew into his hands, successfully tackling him as he laughed.I smiled sadly. It reminded me of my own father. He would always show up to my room every evening with a bunch of flowers and chocolates.For a long time, he called himself my husband and I liked it. I shook my head, expelling the bad thoughts from my head. No use crying over spilt milk.The little girl's attention finally was turned to me now.On noticing me, she shyly hid behind her father's large frame, her small doe eyes peeking from behind him." It's nothing to be scared about honey. Go get your sister and your mum" the man said, as he waved me inside.I took off my shoes cautiously as I studied the environment. It was a typical family house.Portraits and pictures of the shy little girl and another older one, probably around my age hung around.There were medals and awards hung
Alexa's POV The bath water was soothing on my skin as I washed up. I just stood underneath the water, allowing it to run down my back and wash away all the dirt and grime i had gathered from the forest floors.The shampoo smelt like roses, the good kind, not the artificial ones Aries bought for me.I heard the toilet door opened just as I finally settled down to fully scrub my body." I brought you a change of clothes. They should be your size I guess, I honestly don't know " Hayley's voice said from outside the shower curtain." Thanks " I replied, waiting for the door to open so she could leave. But it didn't.I peered out the bathroom curtain to see her sitting there, just dangling her legs as she sat on the counter.She saw me looking and smiled." It's okay, I just want to get to know you better. I know it would be a whole fuss if you step outside now with mum still lurking in the room with her curious gaze." She said.I wanted to believe that was not creepy so I just turned the
Alexa's POV When I woke up finally, it was way past my regular waking up time at the pack house.I stretched my limbs lazily, feeling more relaxed than I ever have in the past three years. I carefully folded the duvet, grateful for the warmth it provided me throughout the night.Hayley was nowhere to be found. I guessed she had probably left before me.I went down to the kitchen, looking for any remote sign of life so I could finally express my gratitude.Thank you was not something I liked saying, but in cases like this, it was very well deserved." Oh hello Alexa. Do you want to walk me to school?" A cute voice said from behind me,startling me.Gem was all dressed for school, in a preppy uniform, her glasses sitting on her nose as she stared at me." Of course I would love to, but first I want to see your mum" I said to her slowly, trying to be nice. I never particularly liked children. They were too much work, but she seemed different. She was way smarter than other kids, so mayb
Alexa's POV Allison was still in the kitchen when I arrived back home. I could hear her humming a happy tune as she cleaned up.She must have heard the door open because she called out," Alexa, is that you?" " Yes Allison" I said, as I made my way towards the kitchen." Oh you are back, I set your breakfast on the table so just eat up and take a bath. I want to show you around the shop and fill you in on the daily opening routine." She said.I nodded, going towards the table to fill my stomach up with her cooking.I never particularly learnt how to cook. But my mum was a great cook. She had never really thought of cooking a big deal, neither have I. But as I took the first bite of the bacon, I wished I knew how to cook.To treat my self to good meals whenever I felt like it.I finished eating in record time, mostly because it was too delicious I nearly choked on each bite.The set of clothes that Hayley brought out was a simple pair of jeans and a shirt that said " hey momma" It w
