LUKE’S POVI arrived in the country after a long time. It was a rather planned trip. I wanted to put some distance between myself and Eve. I had lost all control and given in to her yet my alpha’s instinct had said against that. So after the sexual encounter, I had been in such a great state of guilt that I couldn’t even stand to be in the same city as her. I had also ghosted everybody even Max. Now, I was back. However, I was sure that I didn’t want to see Eve again. I don’t know but for some weird reason, I thought seeing her again would cause more harm than good. I was in my house and just enjoying more alone time and trying to strategize how to avoid Eve and explain myself to Max. I heard the doorbell ring. I wasn’t expecting anyone. Plus, not a lot of people knew where I lived too. I had also sent my housekeepers and other helps away because I wanted time alone. I walked up to the door and stared through the camera display. There was no one outside. Who was playing tricks with
ALEXIS’ POVI sat in the car beside Max as he drove to my Mum’s house. After I was declared 90% healed from the accident injuries by the doctor, I figured it was time to go see my mum. I was a bit elated. I’d regained such height of healing in just a little over two weeks after the accident. It was phenomenal and I just had to give great credit to my accelerated healing abilities. I’d always had it. Healed quickly more than anyone. In high school, it made me a great asset during sports. So, I threw myself into it. I’d taken martial arts, football, track and even some gymnastics. I’d also been a cheerleader. Then I had won a sport scholarship to college on the basis of my impeccable record on track. I had represented my college in various races and never ever lost one. I’d ran various meters and even ran a marathon which I also won. It had been incredible. So even when I sprained my ankle or twisted my knee or anything of sort, in just a matter of days, I was as good as new. This earn
MAX’ POVI was by her bed side when Alexis finally woke up. She said to me, “A penny for your thoughts?”“You’re awake.” I helped her sit up but with my hand lingering on her arm. “You look very worried about something. Oh right! We went to Mum’s” she paused and looked a bit confused. She said, “Wait what happened? The last thing I remember was eating dinner and now I’m here.”I sighed. I had been debating on what to tell her. I knew it was the truth she deserved and I wanted to tell her badly but I found myself being cautious. How do I say to her that the woman who she thought the world of as her mother was only a deranged woman who’d adopted her from her real family and caused her not to function to her fullest capacity? How do I even tell about wolves? Or anything along those lines?It was a tight fix. I bit my lips and said, “You fell asleep. I spoke with your Mum and then brought you home.”“I fell asleep? During dinner? That’s very unlike me! I love my mum’s meals! Why would I
EVE’S POVI resumed work a new woman. I had wanted to ditch going back to work but Ezekiel wouldn’t have it. He wanted me to maintain my work. Alexis could show up any time any day. After the transformation worked, the baby had also survived even though I wasn’t sure if it was human or a wolf. I’d also gotten a new hair cut wanting to project a new image. I felt so sexy and powerful. My body felt light, like I had lost 20 kg in the last few days. I could hear conversations from far off better than the average ear and I could see, catch vision of other things. After work, I was going to see Luke to taunt him and put more of my personal plans into motion. Once I was done with work, I drove to Luke’s apartment. He didn’t answer the door at the first or second try. So I began to talk, “You know I do have a video of you in your werewolf form. Yes, with claws and your coloured eyes. Would you be interested in me releasing it to the world?”“No, you wouldn’t.”I laughed. Even from across
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’ POVI decided to take her to the Rhodes for dinner. Alexis was right, she’d spent over two weeks being in the house and as much as it was large and nice and comfortable, it could be stifling. She needed to get some air. She wasn’t saying it yet but I knew she also wanted to go to work soon. Yet, I wasn’t ready to deal with it. I didn’t know if I wanted to let her that far from my watch. Sure, I’d left her all alone for the last two days to seal the deal with Bailey, hunt for her family and get some work done yet, I’d been in constant communication with the security head I’d left at home. I wasn’t stalking her but I needed to know she was fine. I’d given her intentional space too, staying away from her and not placing calls because I knew she needed to come to terms with what she’d found out. It was a lot to take in and I had to give it to her. She was handling it well, better than I expected; almost too well that it had me worried to be candid. However, I knew dinner with the R
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
MAX’S POVI was on my way to the mental asylum I’d sent Bailey to with John on my tail. We’d both taken our separate cars but with me leading the way. I was nervous and excited all at once. I was like a little child who was about to unwrap a Christmas present. Yet, I was positive that I was correct, Alexis was related to John. On the outside, the mental asylum was like that of a regular one, with various human patients and doctors, yet the director was Dr Steve Grey, a werewolf who was a friend of my family. His father had been friends with my Grandfather. The hospital was founded by his father; a regular psychiatric hospital for humans on the inside but a psychiatric hospital for werewolves on the inside. It was located in a regular town and seemed pretty normal except not all the patients and doctors were human. I drove into the parking lot and found a suitable spot. John packed right beside me and got out too. I nodded at him and made my way into the hospital with him following m
