AMERICA DAVIES A petrified gasp escaped my mouth as I jolted awake in the middle of the night, I looked into my mirror that stared back at me and noticed the crystal beads of sweat that glistened on my forehead.I heard loud thuds of the rain against my roof, a lightning as bright as daylight struck and I felt my heart stop beating for a moment. I could hear the cackling of unknown birds even through the loud noises of the rain, I tried to breathe but I could only exhale. Suddenly, I heard a very loud thud at the front door and I screamed. I got off my bed and went to the kitchen to get myself a weapon for protection, "okay, this should protect me from… whatever it is." I told myself as I picked up a big knife. The noises became clearer, someone was trying to open my door and I couldn't help but to wonder, who could it be? I felt my legs tremble as I approached my door, my heart began pounding. I placed my hand on the knob and pulled it, without hesitation, I charged at the be
TRAVIS SKY I raced for her and pulled her out of dangers sight."Great speed dude." Alaric complemented as he shifted back to himself."What the hell? You almost killed me!" America yelled out."But I didn't." He chuckled and America waved him off like a fly. "I'm here for you Travis, the alpha is calling for you.""Dad? Why?""Don't know.""I'll be there."★ One week later ★I laid on my bed with my eyes closed and a pillow against my face, trying to keep the sound of my ringtone out of my head. I heard a knock on my door and before I could even answer, it click opened. "Travis." Mom said in the most tender voice.I raised the pillow from my face and stared silently at her. She climbed my bed. "Look outside the window." I got off my bed and reluctantly walked to the window. Peeking through the curtain, I saw America as she strolled down the road, she stopped, kicked an innocent stone, then continued walking. I went back to my bed. Mom wrapped her arms around me and gently patt
AMERICA DAVIES "Let's get ready!" I told myself. I felt my wolf howl with excitement and I couldn't help but to smile. A dress as beautiful as the night sky caught my attention as it shimmered in my wardrobe. "December twenty seven." I felt my lips curve into a smile as I remembered the backstory of the dress. "Snap out of it!" I shook my head. I was far from ready when it was already seven. I slipped into the dress and it still fitted like a glove. I heard a knock on my door and I knew it was none other than Celestia, my sister in the pack. She walked in with a few bags in her hands. "Ooh! Someone looks hot! Where is she going?""I'm going to see Travis." She sighed, "are you going to sit at his porch again all night?" "What no! He texted me." I smiled. "Finally! That jerk." She sat on my bed. "The howling hollow is around the corner, it's just a few blocks away, what are we going to wear?" She grumbled. "Is that why you brought your entire wardrobe to my house?" "It's a fa
TRAVIS SKY "Honey, what are you doing not in your tuxedo?" My mother asked as she walked into my room. I hadn't even heard her open the door. "You know if you don't hurry, your father is going to flip this house upside down… literally." She smiled with her arms akimbo. "I will only be a minute more." "Are you going to spend that extra minute sitting on your desk and staring out the window like a depressed teenage girl?" She asked as she strolled towards me but I remained silent. She sighed, placing a hand on my shoulder, "honey," her lips curved into a faint smile, "I don't know what to say to make you feel better, I am honestly sorry about everything your father is putting you through." I looked away from the window then at her. "There is no need to be sorry mom, I really am fine now." "Really?" She questioned in a tone that portrayed the disbelief in her. "Yeah! When I realized that what I am doing is what is right for every single one of us, including her and the whole
AMERICA DAVIES SEVEN YEARS LATER... "Kids hurry up, it's time for breakfast!" I yelled out. I was flipping pancakes, making toasts, packing the kids lunch and preparing some fresh orange juice. "Mom! Dara won't give me back Mr bunny ears!" Lara yelled out as she ran down the stairs, almost in tears. "Lara please don't cry, Dara where is the teddy?" "I only wanted to borrow it." Dara explained as he descended from the stairs with a stuffed rabbit in his hand. "Well she doesn't want to borrow you right now, how many times have I told you to stop bugging your sister?""I'm sorry Mom, here you go Lara." He said as he handed the stuffed animal to his sister. "Where is Cara?" I asked as I served them breakfast. "In the bathroom." Lara said, already eating her pancakes. "Why?" "Her tooth fell out this morning." She said as she played with her pancakes and her leg dangled happily from the chair. "Oh dear, Lara stop playing with your food, Dara finish your food, I'm going to get
TRAVIS SKYThe neighboring community had finally promised to caution their rogues from breaching our territory and everything else was intact... It was a job well done for me."I must say, you are doing a better job than I thought you would." Alaric complimented.I smiled in response. We both strolled down the busy town, exchanging greetings with a few people and cross checked for anything that might seem out of place. "I heard your sister came visiting.""Yeah, I'll be going to see her later today." "Okay Travis, send my greetings alright?" He nudged my shoulder, "I gotta go meet Laura and the pups." He said before running off."Tell her I said hi!" I yelled and he nodded in response.Ever since I became the alpha, I had been ready for everything life threw at me, even when I had to battle a stronger wolf to save my community, I prevailed to my utmost surprise. But the one thing I was yet to conquer was the infinity between my wife and I."You're back early today." Darla uttered wi
AMERICA DAVIESFeeling like the last drop of liquid in me had dried up, I took yet another large gulp from the glass of water in my hand. I kept tapping my feet on the ground and the sound it produced annoyed me but I didn't stop, I couldn't."Let's bail it." My wolf told me but I refused. "We are doing this for the pups, remember? He is the only one that can help us find them." "Crap!" "Are you ready to see him?" Alaric interrupted our conversation."Huh? Yeah." I forced a smile on my face. I got up and nervously followed him as he led the way. I felt a knot in my stomach and my pores began to leak with sweat. I felt my heart pounding like it wanted to bail on me but I had to remain strong. "For the kids, for the kids, for the kids...." I repeated the mantra in my head.There he was, sitting only a few steps from me. His eyes lingered on me while his facial expression portrayed bewilderment... So I felt. His beautiful eyes were fixed on me and I felt my whole self freeze. It was
TRAVIS SKYI rushed to her just in time to break her fall, she was frozen still in my arms like a statue-- just like the night my dad and I found her in the freezing snow. "Are you okay?" Celestia asked as she rushed to us.Just like the night she had a nightmare, I huddled her in my arms while gently patting on her back. She felt so little in my arms and her familiar scent caressed my nose. I had missed her so much and I had forgotten how helpless she became whenever she was frightened. The others gathered around us, all asking the same question Celestia did. She raised her fidgeting index finger to the window and broken words escaped her trembling mouth. "There...there was someone... Out there.""Go survey the surroundings now!" I instructed Alaric and Dylan followed. As her consciousness started to kick in, she jerked free from my hold, obviously not with the intention of being so rough as her lips curved into an awkward smile. She folded into Celestia's arms, seemingly more c
AMERICA' POV With a shuddered breath, my hand dropped to my side, the dagger in my hand no longer being a threat to the cunning wolf that was standing in front of me.Just in case he tried to be funny, I kept the dagger unsheathed and tightened my grip around the hilt. He let out a sigh that transformed into a smile. "Not many would have done what you just did." "You promised not to hurt me and I belie-- well I want to believe you. Plus, I want answers and you are my only chance at getting them." I tried to keep my voice confident, not wanting him to know that even with such a powerful dagger in my hand, I was feeling threatened by his presence. Though I kept my back straight and chin up, it was obvious that he could sense the fear in me thanks to his taunting smirk. I never for once paid attention to Kurt in my entire life. Never did I stop to stare twice at him enough to actually engrave his looks in my head like I did with Travis but standing in front of him... I realized he w
TRAVIS’ POVThe black sack was pulled away from my head and I was finally home. I limped towards my porch and sat there for a minute, trying to catch my breath. The wound kept bleeding like it would be the end of me. Such a close shot could have actually ended me or put me in a worse situation than I currently was. "We did it," I breathed heavily, pressing my hand against my wound. "We made it back home. Now to find help that--" The door to my apartment pushed open and Darla came hurrying towards me. "Travis!" She yelled out, pretending to be worried. "Oh my goodness! You need help!" She crouched down beside me. "I know what to do, I'll--""Stop." I muttered, cutting her off. "Go away from me." "What?" She squinted at me. "I said go away from me!" I growled as I shoved her to the ground with my remaining strength. "Is this fun to you? Huh? Tell me! You sick psycho!" My eyes grew wider every time I yelled. She landed on the floor with a thud. Her eyes widened as she stared surpri
AMERICA'S POVMin glared at me for more than a second. Her hands remained pressed to her hips and her eyes gave a disapproving glare. I sighed. "Listen, I don't mean to hurt you more than you are already hurting but you only lost one child to the dark side and look how sad you are! I cannot lose all three of my children!" "I am not asking you to leave them like you don't care. I just want you to think carefully before every single one of your actions!" "Well there's no time!" I exclaimed, my voice louder than I had intended. I advanced towards her and took her hands in mine. "Min there is no time to think twice about an action before doing it! "I have to hear what Kurt has to say and then ask him my own questions! You know, so far he has been of good help to me... Well sometimes... Like he gave me this dagger!" I took out the dagger from my pocket and showed it to her. Her eyes widened. "That dagger is dangerous! It can kill a wolf without you even striking hard. How did he..." S
TRAVIS' POV My eyes fell close as tears trailed down my face. I tried to bury out the cries of my own children as they were being dragged out of the room. The sound of the aluminum door slammed shut loudly, silence following after and I rose to my feet. "Why do you have to be so heartless? Huh? They are children!" The anger I felt course through my veins was stronger than ever. "If you do not learn to keep a lid on that temper of yours then those children will cease to exist! You hear me!" She yelled out. "Why do you have to go so far, Natasha? Don't you want America out? She'll leave this place and never return the moment you let her children go! Are you so blind not to see that? Besides, I got the stuffed wolves! Why won't you let them go?!" She broke out in a sinister laugh. "Oh unfortunately my dear, those stuffed wolves didn't signify anything, my daughter and I were just toying with you." "What?" I squinted. "Yes my dear, sadly, it isn't as easy as you think.
AMERICA'S POVMin looked so hesitant to speak, like the former words had left her mouth by accident. But the sooner she realized it was already done, the better. She let out a sigh. "Your mother... She already loved your father before since they were kids. And kids make mistakes. At fourteen, she had gotten pregnant for him and though they were young, they insisted on keeping the baby. "It would be wrong for me to call it a mistake but that it was. She refused help from all of us, even her parents, who are your grandparents. Your father supported her blindly. So it became that a child raised a child. "She gave him everything, too much of everything. He grew up to be a good kid surprisingly but when he became a teenager, he wanted to do things his own way." She paused thoughtfully and sighed. "What happened to him?" I questioned her, trying to make my tone firm and commanding. But how could I dare to command an alpha female? Yet she succumbed to my wishes and went on. "When he was
TRAVIS’ POVTears welled up in my eyes as I stared at them, the three beautiful flowers right in front of me. I had never seen anything so beautiful and charming. Cara's smile alone shattered my heart, not to mention all three of them together. I blinked back my tears, not wanting to cry in front of them. "You..." My voice croaked and I coughed to clear my throat. I sniffed. "You love me?" They all nodded their heads. Dara moved forward towards me. "Mommy always told us how much she loves you and that we should love you too." His lips turned downward. "Sometimes... I get jealous because she is always looking at your picture and thinking of you." Lara touched my knee and smiled. "It almost feels like we grew up with you. We celebrated your birthday too! We are always so excited because on that day, mom always buys the biggest cake and she allows us to finish everything! She always eats so much cake that her eyes begin to sweat.""Sweat...?" It took a second before I understood. "Oh.
AMERICA DAVIESI couldn't imagine what I was seeing at the moment. From what I had heard, that Ishmael of a person was the bad guy in the story and his boys were rogues that also wanted me dead. I knew that everyone had warned me about Kurt but I never expected him to be part of the people trying to kill me. Why would he give me his very own occultist dagger? It didn't just make any sense, not even the slightest bit. I took another peak through the hole just to make sure I was seeing the right thing and it wasn't just my mind playing tricks on me."So the gem is no longer on the stone, that only means one thing, she somehow managed to find you freaks and the stone called her, blah blah blah. I really don't have the time to keep coming here over and over and over again, we have no cause to even keep meeting like this, you already banished me from your pack mom so I don't see why we should still be seeing each other on a daily basis." Kurt made eye contact with Min for a second, his
TRAVIS SKYThere wasn't a single word to express the way I felt at that particular moment. But one thing was for sure, I felt like a failure. I had failed to be the perfect alpha, the perfect partner, the perfect son, and the perfect dad. In chains, the triplets were dragged in by the ruthless man that kept yelling at them. The three of them looked pale, weak and scared. They had been in the clenches of whoever the kidnapper might be for a year while I did nothing but fight with their mother and cum in the mouth of another woman. I was engulfed with shame as I saw them walk in. For a moment, I felt relieved that they hadn't known me as their father. A failure like me that couldn't even lead his own pack. But regardless of that, they would still be in so much fear and would think of me as one of the bad guys. "Well Travis, you have done so well in torturing that wretched no good, low life girl that I felt so proud of you! I wanted to reward you with something so great, something th
AMERICA DAVIES"I think I am not mistaken when I say that you have got the wrong woman." I nervously said as I watched them kneel in front of me. "You are perhaps a descendant of Damodred, am I right?" The woman that was pointing a gun at me earlier said as she rose to her feet. "Damo what now? My name is America Davies." "America! I remember!" "What do you remember?" "I was there when your mother gave you that name." She said with a warm smile on her face. "Wait, what are you saying? Do you know my mom?" "America, come with me. There is so much that you don't know and you need to know them." "No wait, I don't understand what is going on here, you were talking about my mother just now, who is she to you? How do you know her?" "America… I understand that you are feeling perplexed right now, who wouldn't?" She said as she slowly started towards me. "But I can tell you so much more than you think. There are things that I will tell you that will change your life forever and your
