MiaThe boys finally moved in and we got settled to business. I avoided looking at Quinn all through the meeting as I couldn't get over the news I had heard about him. I couldn't stop imagining seeing the grim reaper behind him. Albert growled at them. "Why were you late?"Jack grinned in his usual carefree manner. "We saw Mia walk into the study and we thought to give the two of you some father-daughter bonding time."Albert and I scoffed at the same time at his words and then smiled at each other. I knew they wouldn't have been late to show up without a good reason. If only they hadn't done that, I wouldn't have asked Albert any question and wouldn't have known what I did. I wouldn't be tempted to look at him with pity as I wanted to do and I knew doing that was the fastest way for me to get my head off my neck.Quinn hated pity and wouldn't tolerate it if I looked at him with pity. Even if he liked me to the moon and back, he would have dealt with me."Let's get to business." Albe
MiaI messed up. I shouldn't have gone with the men on the search for the dark wizard's items. It had been fruitless. We hadn't found anything that he had left behind. The only thing that had been found was my newly acquired fear for the night. The boys wouldn't stop teasing me about it even though their father had told them to not tease me.I frowned. I didn't know how they had found out that I was afraid despite how hard I tried to hide it. Their supernatural eyes were really working.We all met in Albert's study the next day. It was when we left there that the boys started teasing me and I knew that they had known of my fear."What is your plan for today?" Jack asked as I was leaving.I turned to look at them with my eyebrows arched up. What were they up to again? I didn't trust them. I was starting to but I didn't trust them fully."Why?""You heard dad say he is taking your mum out on date to make up for their honeymoon that was cut short. You want to be home alone?""Are you goi
Mia I almost fell as I was rushing out to the garage, afraid that they had left me behind. I had tried to get ready within that ten minute time frame that he had given me but it had been impossible.It wasn't like I was trying to dress cute for them but I had my pride and image to save. Regardless of what they said or would think, I couldn't just dress up anyhow because I didn't want my brothers to think that I was trying to be enticing to them.I didn't know where they were going and I didn't want to look embarrassed. What if I meet someone that I knew and I was dressed as if I had been robbed of all the clothes that I had?I would be too embarrassed to face the public for days. Moreover, I knew those hooligans that called themselves my brothers wouldn't hesitate to laugh at me if anything embarrassing happened to me.It was better to avoid situations that would bring tears to my eyes after the night. I had already told them that I would be going out with them and despite their impa
MiaIt was surprising that they took me to a karaoke bar. I didn't know they were the type to come to a place like that. I had even thought that another friend of them was having a party like it had been that other day. I guessed that they didn't want to stay home when our parents weren't home just like I didn't want to be alone at home.I had also thought that it would be a rowdy bar that they would take me to based on their personalities. I was expecting them to go to a bar when they were going to grind against ladies and get laid all night. I wasn't going to be surprised if that was what they did. I was prepared to ignore the ladies who were going to be flinging themselves against them all night. The worst of those ladies were those who didn't have shame and would pretend to be my friend hoping that I could help them to get my brothers in bed.I grimaced at the thought of doing that all night but I would rather have that than stay home alone wondering if it was going to be my last d
MiaI had a refreshing dream that night. For the first time in weeks, I didn't have any nightmare about the werewolf brothers or the dark wizard and woke up feeling strengthened and at alert.I wondered if it was because of the outing. We had already eaten dinner outside before we got back and I slept off immediately I showered and hit the bed. I wondered if it was because I had had so much fun and had been wiped out that I didn't have time to think and worry about the thoughts that always plagued my mind before I force myself to drift off to sleep.I hadn't needed to force myself to sleep and that was good. I was going to remind the boys about hanging out with them even if they didn't remember and didn't want me to.I spent the day in my room reading a book. I didn't want to go out where I knew the boys would be. I feared that they might tease me about being clingy to them if they saw me too soon after spending the day with them all through yesterday.I did that the following day, ha
MiaSomeone knocked on the door of my bedroom an hour later and I wondered if that was mum coming to wish me a good night rest.I dropped the book I was reading and went to the door. I regretted my hasty move as soon as I opened the door. I should have asked who was at the door before opening it. I shouldn't have worked on blind faith and opened the door just like that, knowing the kind of brothers that I had. I tried to close the door but it was too late. He pushed his leg out and stopped the door. He was stronger than I was and despite how hard I tried to close the door, I couldn't. I sighed as he stepped in and closed the door behind him, acting as if my room was his.I moved back, folding my hands on my chest. Hopefully, he was going to leave if I didn't give him the audience that he desired."What are you doing here, Jack? I don't remember summoning you." I said, figuring that I could chase him off faster if I was rude.I should have known that wasn't going to work on him. He l
MiaIt was good to be back. I was glad that I was far from the boys for a while. I had no doubt that I was going to regain my senses soon if I was far from them. The proximity to them was doing shit to my head. Thankfully, my colleagues had gotten over what was wrong with them and didn't act like they were possessed as they had done that time. They were all happy to see me and gushed about how better I looked with the leave that I took. Sammy was at my table during lunch break. "Welcome back to work." "Thank you." I smiled back at him."Here." He said, handing me a bag.I checked inside it and found out that it was a necklace that was inside it. It was beautiful but my heart twinged with guilt and discomfort knowing why he was giving me. I couldn't take it. That would be unfair of me. I decided that I had to be honest with Sammy. I couldn't let this go on for long and make it seem like I was stringing him along.With the way I wasn't enthusiastic about our dates, I thought he woul
MiaI could still feel eyes on me. I felt like an ant under a microscope and all my moves were being observed and recorded. It was getting worse with each passing day and night, most especially at night because that was when I felt it the most. I was starting to get anxious and it showed in everything I did. I jumped when I heard my name. I watched my back everytime I walk at night. I almost ran like crazy the other night I was walking home and felt someone trailing me only for the person to make a turn at the next junction. I almost jumped out of my skin at work two days ago when the office telephone rang. It took me a while to realize that it was the telephone on my desk but by that time, everyone already had their eyes on me, wondering why I looked like I had seen a ghost at the sound of the phone.I was becoming a nutcase as the days progressed and I felt sad that I couldn't even go for therapy. How would I tell the shrink about werewolves and the dark wizard? She would make a ca
