ALEXIS’ POVI still don’t know which hit deeper and left me with more thoughts, the revelation that my Mum wasn’t my mum or that I had a real family out there or that I was a wolf or Mum had used sorcery on me that locked in my wolf that I had a mate or the other things Max had explained to me. I couldn’t even process everything at once and truthfully, I didn’t know how to. It was too many revelations, and I didn’t even know which to believe yet. It sounded stranger than fiction but it explained the very many strange events that I have lived with all my life and always pondered about. I’d thought I was a freak due to my way with animals. The first time I showcased my ability in public, we were on a field trip and had just set up camp when insects and animals began to swamp around me. Everybody had run away from me and avoided me like a plague all through the school year, I had been labeled a freak. Thankfully, I had Hannah. I didn’t have many friends to hang out with, had great grad

MAX'S POVTheir scent was similar. It wasn't just the great resemblance between them but the scent was similar too. It had the same patterns to show that they were blood related. Jaime and Alexis were blood related. But how? I had been so shocked at their similarities and the scent that I had been unable to hide my feelings. Alexis had noticed and I found myself just trying not to alarm her so I dismissed it and tried to hide my facial expressions better.I had no doubt about it but Alexis was related to Jaime. We went into the house and Grace’s face lit up when she saw us. She walked up to us smiling and enveloped Alexis in a hug. “Hello Alexis, it’s so good to see you.”“It’s good to see you too Grace. Thank you for inviting me to your home again.”Grace smiled and left Alexis to exchange pleasantries with me. She smiled at me and exchanged a side hug with me while still fully holding Alexis’ arm. She said, “It’s good to see you again too Max.”“Me too, Grace.”She hooked both of

EVE’S POVI sat beside Ezekiel in a bar. It was one of the most exquisite bars in town. That was the thing about Ezekiel, he always went all out whenever he took me out. It was always the coolest restaurants, the coolest bars, the coolest clubs, the coolest hotels even though he’d never share a room with me. Even after a few heated kisses, he hadn’t touched me. Still hadn’t had sex with me. Still hadn’t even gone beyond a kiss, nothing at all. It got me a bit agitated when I was around him. He clearly reeked sexual tension and I think he was attracted to me but the fact that he never went beyond a kiss was puzzling to me. I knew he was sexually active, I had seen a few women come out of his hotel room but not me. He hadn’t made a move on me. Was it that he didn’t find me attractive enough? Or was there something else in the picture? It made being with him annoying sometimes. I clearly wanted him and had done everything that I knew how to do to get him. I'd dressed provocatively, tou

ALEXIS' POVI woke up and my mind was blank for a moment. I sat up and tried to think back to who I was and where I was. The truth of everything came rushing to me and that's when it hit me. Hannah was dead. My own Hannah. My very own Hannah with her hair, actions and inactions and the personality and everything else, Hannah was gone. I'd never see her again. I'd never talk to her again. Hannah was gone. I couldn't help myself as I began to sob.I slid and sat on the floor, burying my face in my hands. I don't know for how long I sat in the silence crying, but I cried. I went over all the memories I had of Hannah in my mind. From the first day we met to the very last day I'd seen her. I took my phone and began to stare at our pictures. It was unbelievable. My best friend was gone, I'd never see her again. I thought I'd run out of years but more came at that moment and I welcomed it, crying some more. My precious Hannah was gone. Was that why she had been unable to respond to my tex

MAX’S POVI tried to hide my emotions as best as I could. I understood that Alexis was having a difficult time coming to terms with her best friend’s death, the sudden life changes she was having and everything else Selene seemed to be throwing her way. However, I was very skeptical about her choice to see Bailey again. I was very hesitant to take her to the mental institution. Yet, her fierce determination had won me over. I was also hugely sympathetic towards her. I was trying so hard to put myself in her shoes and try to be more understanding and gentle with her. It must not be easy. To have your entire life unravel before your eyes and turn out to be a lie; to be told you aren’t who you’ve lived for all the many years of your life and to lose your best friend to unfortunate circumstances. It must be hard. It must be tough for her. So I decided to oblige every desire to see Bailey. Here we were, at the mental institution with Alexis finally hearing the truth about everything from
