I talk to Lunanci for a while about my family and my issues while I wait for the pills to take effect and, luckily, my wolf starts to fall asleep until I’m on my own again. God, it feels so good to have silence in my head that I even get in a good mood. Even though my life is a fucking mess and has been failure after failure, I get in a good mood. I really like my new sister-in-law, she's brave and strong and up for anything. She wants to fight for my brother and make him take her back, even though he kicked her out and rejected her and probably humiliated her a lot, she just won't give up. Like a kicked dog that won't take no for an answer, she just keeps coming back.That means she has big balls, because if I had been rejected like that by Zion, or in general, my first reaction would be to run away to the most hidden place and never be seen again. But she's not like that, so that's awesome. "We both need to find a place to stay, right?" I ask, as I’m thinking about all this, "A
The next day at the academy, I see Rio on the track because we’re having another endurance test. This time he surprises me by running at the same pace as his teammates for two full hours. I'm watching him proudly when a guy named Jerry loses his stride and ends up falling face first to the ground. I silently cheer for his failure because that means Rio won't be punished today. Fifteen minutes later, Rio falls to his knees, completely exhausted. I immediately run to him to get him off the track before he gets hurt, and he slaps my hands as soon as he's stable."I can walk by myself," he growls, and I let him go. I follow his slow pace until we reach the loser's bench and sit down next to Jerry. Now that Rio’s here, I don't look at the track at all because I don't care what's going on there. I just want to see his face. And it's even funnier because he can feel my gaze and he starts to get all nervous under my eyes, so much so that he suddenly can't stand it anymore and gets up."I'm
My throat closes up as I watch Rio get into the ring. This could go very badly or maybe not as much, but no matter what, I just don't want to see anyone beat Rio up. It's just not supposed to be like this. Why the hell did I end up with the craziest omega on the continent? "Next up, Rio Taffy and," I pretend to think about it, "Mario Ramirez, come here."Rio snorts and starts shaking his head as soon as he sees Mario approaching. Mario is the smallest, he's even shorter than Rio. Rio should take the easy way out I'm offering him, but of course his ego won't let him. I close my eyes in stress as soon as I see his chest popping out. "I want to fight an Alpha, please," he says. Mario rolls his eyes, he's too used to being looked down on at this point to be phased. He tries to walk away, but I stop him."Sorry, but no. He's the only option," I say as if it makes me very sad to have to break the news to him, but he knows I'm lying. "I want to fight an alpha, Zion, are you going to let
{ Alejandro }Rio is here, I just ran into him on my way to the restaurant. And he doesn't look good at all. He looks too thin, too pale, too upset. "Rio," I whisper, unable to believe he's really here. He gives me an angry look, but I ignore it for a second because I look behind Rio and I realize Zee is there. And Lunanci. Fuck, "I-I'll explain.""Don't worry, I don't need explanations," my brother says, laughing in a sinister way, "Your lover boy here wants to call Mom. We should, right? We should have mom come here and find out everything her omega son has been up to.""No," I whisper, unable to even come up with an excuse or anything because this is so sudden, I hadn't planned anything, "Please.""Ow, that's such a soft voice now that you've been fucking caught," Rio spits towards me, sounding completely not like himself. Rio's not like that, he never gets angry and certainly not in such a serious way, "I would love to see you cry when she finds out, but I'll just let you do your
{ Zion }Seeing Alex and Rio side by side confuses me a lot. They’re not identical at all, Rio is totally an alpha. And Alex is totally an omega. A tall one. I don't understand why he's so conflicted about that.Seeing Alex hurt by his brother's horrible words soften my heart, it even helps me push my wolf away and make him forget his jealousy right now because Alex looks so sad all of a sudden. "Why is everything so damn hard for me? I just want to have everything I want, why can't I?" he lets out, in a vulnerable little voice that makes me forget the fact that he is a manipulative liar. He's just a kid and everything is blowing up around him. "Baby..." I say, trying to move closer to him and take him in my arms. "You need to stop," he spits towards me suddenly, walking close to me menacingly with wild, crazy eyes just like his brother's. In that they're totally the same, they're both crazy, "I'm not your baby. I've been telling you I don't want you and I don't want this, why can
I don't know how much time has passed, how many days have passed since I got dumped by everyone, but my mind doesn't leave me alone for a single second. And it’s not even my wolf, it’s all myself.I don't have to take inhibitors anymore because there is no reason to, but I keep doing it mostly because I like the silence but also because I want to protect my wolf. I know he’d hate the way my life is going right now. My life is still in a dark abyss and I can't get out out there because there is no way out. I have no direction and no one to guide me out of there. I’m all alone and miserable. The only good thing I have in my life at the moment is Lunanci, forcing me to go out with her, to eat with her and she makes me laugh for a while. I feel good while I'm with her, but when she leaves me alone I remember that I have nothing else. Just me, myself and I, and we all hate each-other. Laurent stopped talking to me, just like Rio. They both hate me now. Zee hates me, too. My whole famil
{ Alejandro }After my wolf cried for hours, dejected and depressed because Zee is going to leave him, I manage to calm him down a little but only when I promise him that we are going to go see his Alpha. What am I going to tell Zee when I see him? I have no fucking idea, but it's the only thing I could think of to make my wolf feel better.So, now I'm heading to Zee's apartment in the middle of the night. I guess maybe I'll say goodbye... and thenmaybe my wolf can convince him to stay here. If Zion really loves me like he said, he'll stay. And he’ll give me a chance to make things right with him. That’s all I need, a little chance. I get to the restaurant and fortunately, it's open, so I go upstairs and I knock on the door. No answer. When almost fifteen minutes go by and no one answers the door, I start to worry. It's only three in the morning, the party should still be on, right? Usually around four or five is when people start leaving. But I guess they left early this time.
When I get out of the car and I look up at my house, I suddenly start crying, unable to control it. Lunanci arrives at my side and she holds my hand as the guys walk inside the house to give me space. I'm crying because being here feels good, it feels right. Running away after my presentation because I was angry at the world and at myself was very silly. Before that day I was actually very happy. My life was very good. So, I let one single problem snowball into the biggest shit-show ever. It made me hate my own family because of some dumb harmless comments. It made me hate myself and it made me put on a whole circus that culminated in everyone hating my guts. But at this point, I realize that I should have just eaten one of Rio's cookies and accepted myself as I am. Because there is no other option. I can't change myself and I can't be miserable and bitter forever. So all I can do is, accept my lame ass fate and make the best of it, as Luna told me. "Are you ready?" She asks. I
"Remember how I said I was going to kill myself if you say no? I wasn't kidding," Alex says, still holding the ring out to me. His eyes are starting to get crazier with each passing second I don't answer."Yes. Yes, I'll fucking marry you," I reply just to stop him from going crazy, but I can't even comprehend this shit. Alex sighs with relief so I grab his arm to pull him up. He takes the ring he bought and lifts my hand to put it on my finger. It’s a gold band. I never thought for even a second that someone could propose to me, "Can I ask what the fuck is going on without you threatening to kill yourself or lying?" "You said yes just so I wouldn't kill myself?" Alex asks with a pout, "You don't really want to marry me?""Yes I do! But I'm still angry and confused," I tell him, not knowing what to do with my hands. Or with him. He looks so much prettier today than the last time I saw him. His hair is a little longer, his cheeks red, his eyes bright. "I saw you on that damn TV show
Rio told me all about how Grandpa helped him with his new business, that damn cookie place he wanted so badly and still hasn't taken me to. Rio told me everything, so I know perfectly well who to go to first. "Hi, Grandpa, good morning.”“Good morning, Alex, what brings you here so damn early?” He asks.“Uhm, well. I know you helped Rio with his cookie place. So... today I come to you with my own business plan. And I dare say, mine is even better," I blurt out as soon as my grandfather comes down to the living room. I'm already sitting on the couch waiting for him in my formal clothes, although I intercepted him on his day off so my grandfather is wearing his pajamas and robe. Grandma comes down the stairs behind him too and looks at me with a smile."Oh, look at you, you look so cute with your little bow tie," she says as she comes over to give me a kiss, "Have you had breakfast yet? I'll make you something, sweetie.""Okay, grandma, thank you," I say and wait for my grandfather to
