Thor's POVI'm delirious with joy this morning. I owed everything to Eric and his new abilities that we just discovered. If not for him, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to be near my mate let alone touching and spending a whole night with her. Even though I'm happy right now, I'm not satisfied with just one night with her. I want more. I want the whole of her. I want us to go back to how we were before Draco happened. I miss her terribly and want her at home with me every day and every night. One of the things she accused me of is being controlling. I never accepted that to be true about me until I found myself unconsciously adding strict dress codes to my criteria of good schools to select for her. I don't know what gave me the idea that having control over what she wears to school would stop the likes of Lucas and Mike from finding her attractive when I know she would look stunning even if she's wearing a potato sack.Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! It was at that point that I reali
Ash's POV"Sif!" My mom exclaims in disapproval after I end the call with Thor. "I know you're angry with him but decisions shouldn't be made when your emotions are high. Even I, who doesn't have a special mate bond with your father, know how unpleasant it was when I left him in the past.My eyes widen with surprise and she nods."Yes. During those days when no one believed me and I was diagnosed with postpartum psychosis. I left your father and refused when he begged me to come back. I gave in when I found out life was more hellish without him. I realized we are stronger staying together and working out our problems than being apart... I hope you know what you're doing. Let me go inform your father you're ready to leave." She says and walks away.‘Life was more hellish without him. We're stronger staying together and working out our problems than being apart.’ I repeat in my mind and look at the backpack she just handed to me.‘I can't take this with me.’ I think and return upstai
My dad told me it would take us about forty-five minutes to arrive at Apex Academy. So while he busies himself with work on his laptop, I search the net for information about the school. Who knows which areas the questions they're going to ask at the interview would come from?I picked three schools out of the eleven brochures my dad's family member provided us with, and out of these three, isn't it great that Apex Academy, which happens to be my favorite, is the first interview I'm attending? When my Dad informed me the other two interviews were scheduled after each other with one-day intervals in between, I was happy because it almost felt as if I was consulted and the dates for the interviews were picked with my convenience in mind.'Thank god I picked the right school.' I think and smile to myself as I read through the good testimonies parents and students wrote about the school. I open the school website to read further and my eyes widen at the first information that catches my
His facial expression turns sad and regretful then. "She never cheated but I did, with a human I met on a business trip..." The moment I heard what he said, anger and jealousy surges up within me on behalf of my mom. Thinking in my mind,'Of course, he was the first to cheat. He's a man after all. How dare he cheat on her after all she went through!?'I however quickly push my feelings aside when I remember, despite whatever injustice I might be thinking she suffered, they're still living together happily now. Why am I angry on behalf of someone who had gotten over the injustice she suffered in the past and is now living a happy life?I know I didn't recover my composure fast enough when he chuckled. "Sentiment aside. Technically, I didn't cheat on your mother. According to human law, I can be with another after just one year of separation.""Okay..." I reluctantly say, trying not to look like I'm forced to swallow a slice of lemon."Despite that, you should know I didn't cheat on
I enter the room I was directed to for the interview and meet four stone-faced interviewers. Two males and two females. I can tell from their smell that two of them are werewolves while the other two are humans. Apex Academy is a school for both werewolves and humans after all."It's great to finally have you show up, Miss Reynolds or would you rather we address you as Luna Quinn?" The she-wolf amongst them glares and fires at me with a voice that drips sarcasm.Her attitude takes me by surprise. "Miss Reynolds would be fine," I reply cooly, fighting the urge to look at my watch and point out the fact that I'm not late. I'm twenty minutes earlier than the scheduled time.What's her problem and what's with the sarcasm anyway? I come for an interview doesn't mean she should treat me with disdain.She continues in her stern voice. "I'm Miss Pennyworth. For the past twenty years that I've been working in this great school, Apex Academy has only admitted students at the beginning of every
"Miss Reynolds... Miss Reynolds..." I heard a voice calling me from afar. My mind refocuses to see the woman who thinks she likes me looking at me somewhat pitifully like she already knows what ails me. What the hell! My mind traveled away from the interview room again. Focus, Ash! Focus!"We are done deliberating..." She says. Done deliberating!? Surely, my mind couldn't have traveled for that long and that far..."Meet the secretary outside. She will show you where you'll write the test. As the principal made you understand earlier, admission is solely given on merits here at Apex Academy. We understand you don't need us to get admission into the school but our acceptance and respect of you would depend on your score in the test. Any score less than eighty percent on each test will simply mean you're not worthy to be here even if you're given admission against our will. So good luck."I shrug."Thank you," I say before walking out of the room.The moment I step out, the middle-a
Thor's POV "Ugh..."I growl and close my eyes, leaning back in the executive chair as her last words play on repeat in my mind.‘I don't want to talk about the other women you fucked and I sure don't want to talk about your vampire bitch! I meant it when I said, twelve weeks. Maybe I'll be ready to talk to you then but certainly not now so please don't call me anymore! Please!’I stand up from the chair and start pacing around the room, fighting my frustration and the urge to smash and destroy something. After a while, I stop pacing and then squat when another of her painful statements resounds in my mind,‘I don't need your help with providing me with protection and I don't want to be reminded of your existence every step I take.’"Ugh... Fucking hell!" I growl and swear loudly in frustration. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry I hurt you! I regret lying to you! What do I have to do to make you see that I'm sorry? What do I have to do to make you forgive me, dammit!"I stand up and then go to si
I open my eyes feeling disoriented.'This isn't my room!' I think to myself as my eyes take in my surroundings. I prop myself up on the bed till I see a large white cardboard propped up on a table far to my right. ‘It's normal to feel disoriented at first. Give it a few seconds and it all will come rushing back to you.’ The card reads. I frown as I lay back in bed. 'Give it some seconds? Who is this person?'... Before I can wonder any further, my phone starts ringing from the bedside table. The caller ID reads Eric and the face and name of the person immediately come to mind. Eric is my best friend and brother. I slide the call button to answer the call "Eric?""Yeah." He replies with a chuckle. "Judging by the tone of your voice, you're just waking up. I bet your brain is still foggy?""You bet right. I can't remember anything past fifteen seconds ago when I woke up. What's going on?"He chuckles again."You will remember without my help. Give it some seconds. By the way, we're
