Storm's POVI stared at my ceiling and I threw the round ball on it at intervals. I could hear Luna and Alpha arguing. I tried to shut it out but against my wish I started to remember. I start to remember when everything went to hell and my family became a caricature of itself.I remembered the day I started hating Luna Annalise.I remember like it was yesterday. It was the day I followed them into the woods against my brother's advice.I wish I had listened.Why didn't I listen?Anyway, there is something about pain that keeps people on their toes. It's like a punch to the gut, a very painful punch to the gut. I saw my father stagger just a little bit before he stopped. Even the greatest Alpha to walk the earth wasn't immune to that punch.What the fuck?!I hid behind the tree as the shock of hearing what my mother said to my father went through me causing me to change back into my Human form again.I tried to control my pounding heart so as not to give away my hiding place. But this

Ari's POV "You didn't break a freaking wrist watch, Annalise! You didn't crash an expensive car or wreck a helicopter! You…." His voice trailed off and he turned around to walk away. "Hell no! We are having this conversation" She followed him right behind. "Ry, talk to me!" "My name is Ryan Darken Black!" I exhaled and waited for some of the anger to follow. Father mentioning his full name was never a good idea, it meant he was about to erupt like a volcano. But strangely he didn't, when he spoke his voice was low. "I loved you, Lise…I loved you, how could you do that to me?" "It just happened, okay?. I didn't set out to hurt you…of course, I didn't set out to hurt you…I love you too much to do that but I just started talking and suddenly I am nineteen again and the wounds were just so freaking fresh and lashed out . I am sorry…and I am sorry, you were clueless to my plight then. You couldn't see that I was drowning" Luna exhaled "Did you know I tried to kill myself?" I fro

Aniston's POV The next morning, I was so eager to say hello to my adopted family.I barely made it to the doorway when I ran into Alpha Ryan. He was in a black suit and he was getting off the elevator when I came face to face with him."It's a beautiful morning, Uncle!"My voice was so loud, it startled him."Good morning to you too, Ms Powell and I believe we've had a conversation before about you calling me 'uncle'" I frowned and paused. I tapped my cheek for a few seconds."Would you prefer I call you Dad?" I asked him with a straight face."I wouldn't"By the look on Ryan's face, it wasn't where he thought this conversation was heading."Then I guess you are stuck as Uncle Ryan to me because if I can't call you Uncle then I am going to have to call you Dad" I said with a raised eyebrow. "Because I really want to tell people that you are my father. Do you think people will believe me and…""I guess uncle is fine" he was quick to add before I decided to start calling him Dad.Sham

Aniston's POVI stood like a statue just frozen like a popsicle when Stormi came outside and guided me into his car.He drove off, all the while muttering curse words and slamming his hand on the car wheel. He was going too fast too, I should say something but no matter how many times I tried to, I couldn't.I was just frozen….but then I wasn't."Stormi…"My voice trailed off as I suddenly needed to catch my breath. I clutched my heart and I closed my eyes briefly as I tried to get my pounding heart under control."What is it?" Storm asked me but I couldn't even talk. I simply tried to regulate my respiration by breathing in and out from my mouth but it didn't work."Aniston, what is it?" He asked again and stopped the car. He took off his seat belt and came around to the passenger's seat and opened the door.Stormi pulled me out of the car easily but instead of standing I slid to the ground to sit down. My legs were suddenly too weak to carry the rest of my body and if I didn't sit

Aniston's (two years ago) I didn't wait for Anisa to object when I took off. She was my sister after all, if a boy is interested in her then I needed to make peace with that and be happy for her. I didn't see Nick or Anisa for a while as I stayed away to find my inner sisterly love that was capable of snuffing out any atom of feelings for Nick Morgan but I couldn't help imagining Nick's lips on mine. I imagined him running his hand down my hair and whispering to me, how he cares for me. I imagined that I had his child or maybe children. I imagined him telling the whole world that I was his one true love. Even as I planned for supper, I smiled to myself. I left my room in search of my sister. I checked her room but it was empty and I went on my merry way. I was in a hurry to find Anisa and forced her to get down for dinner with our guest when I bumped into Elena, my best friend who is currently engaged to my brother. Elena was dressed in a black elegant gown with black heels. She
