ALEXAKIS To say I was stunned would be saying the least. I hadn't expected Luna Lisa to say such a thing to Claire, mainly after she claimed that she wasn't even sure if Claire and I were mates or not. But hearing her say it with confidence made my heart warm. It meant that she no longer doubted it. I wasn't so sure when I told her not to say that Claire was not my mate, but now I was wholly sure I wanted my girl to actually become mine.I looked at the girl to see what she was feeling like. She had a stunned articulation on her face as if she couldn't believe what she had just heard. I couldn't help but wondered if it was because she was still in love with that idiot of an ex-boyfriend that she had. As soon as I said it, I shook my head as I realized that it couldn't be that. I had watched her for four years now. I knew that she was always hurt by even just thinking about the other man until she couldn't care about him even if he was standing in front of her.So, it wasn't that. But

ALEXAKIS Talk to her, she said. Talk to her before finalizing anything.I couldn't believe that I listened to Claire and was currently on my way to see the older woman. It had looked like it was such an easy feat when Claire had said it, but now I was not so sure for my sanity if the woman who was my mother and I get talking. How could I have allowed Claire to push me into this? Was it because she offered me comfort?A smile crept up my lips as I remembered that little scene between us. The way I just held on to her like she was all that I ever needed ever since I came to the beginning of my existence. And technically, yes, she was the only one I needed. At least, at the moment when I felt all alone in this strange place.The sun must mirror my mood because it reflected as such -not shining brightly, just releasing enough warmth to keep the earth from being cold."Thinking you've hit the jackpot?" I heard a male voice snarl behind me. Without turning around, I knew who it was. "Kier

ALEXAKIS By the time I woke up, the sun that hid its face partially that morning was high in the sky, its light burning through my body, making my throat feel patched. With the temperature, I could tell that it was already high noon. I gulped some saliva to moisturize my throat before I let out a yawn. "Awake?" Claire asked me.I got up from her lap and let out another yawn. She chuckled at me slightly, and I snorted at her. She showed me her tongue, mocking me in a gentle way."How long was I asleep?" I asked her. I got up from the bed and stretched out the tiredness from my body. "More than 3 hours, I supposed." She eyed me wearily. "How do you feel now?" She asked me. With the question she asked and how carefully she asked it, I knew that she was talking about the matter with Luna Lisa. I sighed, not knowing how to begin."You did talk to her, right?" She asked again. I nodded. "Oh. It's okay if you don't want to share what both of you discussed with me." She said.I sat down b

ALEXAKIS I stood in front of the mirror and watched as my black hair stood out in pikes, and my grey eyes bore deeply into me as if they were accusing me. And if they were, I knew they had every right. After all, I had defiled even my own words... right after I promised to leave the pack. But there was nothing I could do about the whole thing. If I hadn't seen what I saw, then I wouldn't have minded leaving no matter how hard Luna Lisa and her people tried to trap me into staying. But I already saw it and since there was no way I could un-see the whole thing - that is even if there was a word like un-see - then I had no choice but to remain behind until I could figure out everything.And to figure out everything, I had to know about the pack. I had to know about everything and everyone who made up the Morning Dew Pack members. To do that, I needed someone who knew the ins and outs of the pack. Somebody like... Luna Lisa. I shook my head in disagreement. There was no way I would go t

ALEXAKIS Seeing the opportunity for Claire to start doing something to earn some cash for herself, seeing as how she lost her earning -or thought that she did since I got all her money back from that traitor friend of hers- and she didn't like sitting still at a place for long, I rushed to her place.From the moment when I dropped her back at the place and told her that we were aborting the mission to leave, I hadn't set my eyes on her anymore. I knew she wasn't petty though. So she wouldn't hold my weird action against me. I should talk to her and let her know what it was that I saw. But that would be putting her in danger and I wanted to avoid that as much as possible. The less she knew, the safer she would be. I got to her place and knocked."Who is there?" She asked. I heard her footsteps approaching the door and I waited for her to open the door. The moment she did and saw that it was me, she closed it back, almost slamming it in my face."Claire," I called out to her. I turned
