{ Lunanci }

For a couple of seconds, no one can even move, we’re all frozen just watching uselessly as Rio walks away until he finally disappears.

That was beyond horrible. Far, far worse than I thought it would be. Rio was dishing low blows left and right and I can’t even be mad because I’m just concerned.

Zion and I only move when we hear Alex let out a small sob. We both rush to his side.

"He didn't mean any of that. At all," I assure him. Alex raises his hands to cover his face and hide his tears, but he lets me touch and comfort him, "You and I both know that, Alex. He's not like that. Something is going on with him, but I'm still so sorry he said it."

"He just hates me now and it's all my fault," he says through his tears, his body shaking uncontrollably with his crying, "I've never seen him act like this before, he's never been mad at me, not even once. Not like this. Now he... he hates me. He wants me to die."

"Please don't believe that," I beg, trying to make him feel better

    { Rio }All through school a lot of kids wanted to be our friends and although we were always friendly with everyone, we never formed real friendships with anyone because it was always just the three of us and that's the way we liked it. Alex, Laurie and I, that was all we needed. The others were just people we would sometimes go out to dinner with or who would invite us to their parties, but we never formed meaningful connections with anyone. I'm regretting that now. Because both Alex and Laurie are now dead to me, of course, but also because it means that when I get to Fallonmore I have no one to call. I have no one to turn to, no one who's not part of my family. I mean, I could call some old friends to go for a drink or hang out, but to ask them for a place to stay? I don't think so. Fortunately, I have money and that's all I need to go lock myself in the hotel of Fallonmore.That's where I stay, marinating in self-pity and deep hatred for my old friends. Including Lunanci now.

    As soon as the doctor leaves, I force myself to get out of bed and walk to take a shower because I know my mother wasn't playing around and will send my daddy to come get me. And if he finds out I stink this bad, he's not going to be happy.When I get out of the bathroom, I get dressed and move to clean up a bit. Just as I'm finishing picking up my stuff, my door opens again and my daddy walks in, scrunching his nose as if it still stinks in here.I don't let him ask questions, I just walk until I reach him and hug him."My baby," he says and hugs me tightly, "What's going on? Why are you so skinny and ugly? Why does it stink in here?""I got a virus," I lie, even though I know it's useless. I don't want him to worry, "Can we go home? And maybe stop by a pharmacy? I have to buy some things.""Oh," he blurts out in confusion, "Okay... wait, are you sure you're okay?"His worried eyes make me give up. "No. I have to buy protein shakes and vitamins, apparently I'm malnourished or someth

    { Lunanci }I'm lying in bed at eight o'clock at night ready to sleep because I have nothing else to do and because I have a horrible migraine that hasn't left me alone for a couple of days now, next to Alex's anxious energy that is making everything worse, when someone knocks on the door. Alex groans and is about to stand up to open it but the door opens before that and Aaron walks in, looking weird and still in uniform."What's wrong?""Uhh... Lucinda Taffy's here for you," Aaron says. Alex doesn't even respond, he stays on the bed paralyzed with fear, "She's in the living room. She asked to speak to her son Alex so I think she knows all about your lie. Trust me, she's not happy at all."Alex gulps and turns to look at the window, I don't even have to ask him to know he's thinking about escaping."Did you already tell her I'm here?""She didn't ask, she knows you're here. She ordered me to come get you. She's my boss, dude.... Or, she will be. I'm sorry, but I can't tell her no or

    "So... what's it like to actually have a bond with someone?" I ask my favorite twin, stubbing out the butt of the joint on the ground beside me and relaxing next to him. "It's not as fun as you think. You see, it’s not even real love," Alex replies, "Everyone romanticizes bonds so much, especially my dad. But if you really think about it, it's so dark and twisted.""How so?" I ask with a frown. "You become obsessed with this person against your will. You don't decide anything that happens because your wolf just decides for you and pushes you to do only what he wants. You have no say. Like, I don't like men but now I will have to be with this guy sooner or later and why? Because some entity decided that's the way it has to be? She just decided that we belong together and I'm the loser who has to submit? I have to let him do whatever he wants to me, be his property and his househusband and give birth to his damn kids and what do I get in return?""Love?" I try, Alex snorts."Yeah, if

    "By the way, why did you sedate Alpha?" I ask once we separate and I can finally breathe a little. Rio sighs. "I didn't know what I was going to find in here. I thought you were with Aaron, remember? I couldn't risk my wolf wanting to get out and fuck shit up in case my guesses were true," he answers and I just nod because it makes a little sense, "I won't put him to sleep again, I promise. We're both on the same page now.""That sounds good," I reply and I get on my tiptoes to give him one last kiss, "I'm starving. Let's go inside and eat something.""Okay. And in the meantime, can you tell me how this happened? You suddenly living with my brother and Aaron?" Rio asks as we walk inside the house.Although I don't want to tell him, I also don't want to start our relationship with secrets, so I tell him the whole truth. About the day I met Aaron and how I gave him my number. Rio loses his smile then, but I keep going and tell him about how he thought there was something between us bec

    { Lunanci }"Wait! I’m nervous," I let out, unable to move my feet even though Rio is pulling me to move. "You shouldn't be, come on," he says with a laugh and pulls me a little harder, literally dragging me across the floor a little."No, I should," I continue, "Your mom is here and she's my biggest nightmare. When I think about a scary, mean monster, it's her."Rio laughs loudly and drags me a little more. Just yesterday Rio went to apologize to me and we started to be a real couple. And now I'm mere feet away from meeting his parents. I think I have a right to be a little nervous. "I promise you, my mom is going to be completely nice to you, really," Rio says, "She's only rude to me because I'm her son, but she's not like that with everyone, especially not to anyone who looks like you.""How's that?""Like an omega, duh," he replies, rolling his eyes. That makes my nerves disappear in a heartbeat so my feet start moving automatically. After meeting so many omegas and them all b

    { Alex }{ 14 years old }After running through the woods for hours with the boys, the three of us arrived just to sprawl on the ground at our grandma’s backyard, completely worn out. Fortunately, we decided to dress again before running back to the house in human form because we are close but definitely not close enough to throw ourselves naked together. Laurie falls to the floor first, Rio falls on top of him and then I drop down on both of them, making them groan in pain before Laurie gets tired and pushes us away from his body, so we all lie down on our backs and that's how we stay for a long while, even after we've recovered, we keep looking up at the stars, just talking.When I'm like this, I can't help but have deep thoughts, sometimes they’re so deep that my throat closes up and I can't breathe. "We're getting old," I blurt out just before I feel myself choke on that realization. Both Rio and Laurie grunt with annoyance like every time I decide to talk about something seriou

    "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

  • A Healer For The Alpha   Come Back Home

    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

    { 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.

    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

  • A Healer For The Alpha   Defeated

    { 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

    { 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

    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

    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
