ANDRONIKA POV
Anika dragged me downstairs till we got to the dinner table and we took our separate seat on the chair, close to each other. Jamal was seated opposite his sister and I guess he is still scared of me after what happened yesterday. “Where is mom?”. Anika raised a question as we all began to eat. “She went for a run, in the woods”. Gavin respond, taking a spoonful of fries into his mouth. “You will be taking Andronika to the boutique today”. He said to Anika and she squeak. “Isn’t that awesome, I’ll get to spend a lot of time together”. Anika yelled out of excitement while dropping her spoon on the table. “I'll buy some clothes, do our hair…” “Anika!!!”. Gavin half yelled at her and she instantly kept quiet. “I didn’t say for you but for Andronika only, you are taking her for shopping and only for clothes since she doesn’t have anyone here”. He said and she rolled her eyes. “Whatever, but I least I got to spend time with a girl and not with Jamal who thinks he is the blab blab blah…” “Watch your mouth”. Jamal cuts in and made her paused. “You both should shut up and eat!”. Gavin hollered at them and they didn’t utter a word. “Excuse me”. I pushed my chair backward and stood up. “Done already?”. Gavin asked and I nodded. I didn’t want to seat here and watch them fight because it triggers my wolf. I proceed to the stairs and went to my room. I locked the door and landed on my bed. Few minutes later, the door creak open and I sat up with my elbow to see Anika strolling towards me with a tray of food on top. I sat up as soon as she joined me on the bed. “I noticed you didn’t eat anything” “No it’s fine, I’m not hungry”. I lied and my stomach grumbled. “You can’t lie to me Nika, now eat we have a boutique to go to”. Anika urged while forcing the spoon into my mouth. I tried to protest but she pressed it against my lips and I opened my mouth immediately. “That’s good, now eat”. Anika said while staring at me with a wide smile that revealed her white teeth. Anika is soft, funny and kind. She’s just the kind of person I need to be around me. She told me a lot of things that happened to her at school and at home, oops pardon me if I forgot to mention that she told me about her crush in school who turns out to be her mate. I wondered what she meant by mate. I tried to ask her about it but she kept on blabbering that she didn’t hear or listen to me when I tried to speak. “And that’s how we ended up kissing each other at the school gate during this freshmen year”. Anika said and that’s when she noticed that the plate was cleared. “Nice, freshen up while I go drop the plate downstairs”. She said as she stood up from the bed. “Check the wardrobe, I dropped a cloth for you to wear in there”. She said and dismissed. I stood up and entered the bathroom. I strip out of my cloth before turning on the shower. I ran my finger through my hair when the cold water gush down on my head down to my skin. I grabbed the soap and rubbed it all over my hair before rubbing it on my body. I dropped the soap and began scrubbing my hair while the water wash out the form from my body. I turned the shower off and brush my hair down, backward so the water would drip down freely. I grabbed the towel that was hang up on the hanger and use it to dry my hair before I tied it around my chest so it could cover my naked body. I step out from the bathroom and reached for the cloth in the wardrobe. It was a long blue jean pant and a red t shirt. I wore it and turned to look at my reflection in the mirror. My hair was silky wet and I sided my hair so I could squeezed the water out of it. “Don’t worry, I gat this”. I heard Anika said from behind and before I could turn a strong warm breeze was fanning my hair. It made my hair sprawled all over my fair as it wing up in the air. It stopped and my hair dropped. I touched my hair and it was already dried but messy. Anika recline towards me and began brushing my hair till it was perfectly straighten to my back. “You look beautiful”. She compliment and I smiled. “Come with me”. Anika grip my wrist and pulled me out from my room. She dragged me into the next room almost close to mine before locking. I scanned around the pink painted beautiful room. It look girlish and the only picture I could see hang all over the wall was just a picture of barbie. “Come over here”. She dragged me to the mirror and offered me a chair which I sat on. “Trust me, after this, you will be looking like a queen”. Anika said as she brought out a small make up basket from the little cupboard below the table. “Are you sure about this?”. I asked, scared that she might ruin my face with the make up. “Trust me I am a genuine when it comes to make up”. Anika said as she placed the basket on the table before she opened it. I closed my eyes and allowed her to freely do justice to my face. Few seconds later, she was done and had forced me to opened my eyes before I did. Dammit, I couldn’t recognize my face as i gape at the mirror. I was looking totally different and beautiful. A gasp escaped my lips and Anika assumed that I love it. “I told you, I’m a genuine”. Anika said boldly as she gave me time to admire myself at the mirror before raising a question. “So do you like it?” “Are you kidding me?”. I asked while I gape-mouthed at the mirror. “I love it!”. I whispered yelled out of excitement. “Enough now you are making me jealous”. Anika said, grabbing my arm and dragging me out from the chair. “Let's go now”. She said as she stroll out of her room. She scamper downstairs while I stood back waiting as I saw Jamal ascending the stairs.ANDRONIKA POV I waited silently as he didn’t noticed me while his gaze were fixed on the stairs. He reached towards me and I stood facing him so he wouldn’t move. He looked up and gaze at me,” What do you want?”. Jamal asked and he sounded rude. “Jamal listen I am sorry…” “For what?”. Jamal raised a question before I could even finish speaking. “For hurting you yesterday”. I respond and stare into his eyes emotionally so he could see the seriousness in me. “Look I didn’t mean it because I just couldn’t control myself”. I said in a pleading tone and he heaved a sigh. “Fine”. Jamal said as he took another step up and erase the space in between us. His height were now intimidating mine. “Really”. I raised my face up to look at him. “Yes”. Jamal said calmly, gazing down at me as if I was a ten years old kid. I wrapped my arm around his waste and hugged him. I was getting too emotional that I had no choice that to embrace him I could hear him groan and I quickly disengaged a
ANDRONIKA POV. Nickel eyes were focused at the road as he drove slowly to avoid hitting any car along the roadway. I couldn’t help but stare aimlessly at him, his scent were getting stronger as he was close to me. I tried to invade his mind, to read what’s going on in there but paused as I thought about it for a while, that will be wrong. Reading people’s mind is one of my special gift. My father had taught me how to make use of it in the park and warned me to be cautious of how I use my power’s. Sigh… Anika groan from the backseat and I quickly darted my eyes to avoid been caught, stealing glance at him. “This ride is getting boring”. She said and I rolled my eyes. “Hey handsome, what’s your name?”. She asked with a half smile curving up on her lips. “Anika…”. I turned and scold her but she seems to have ignore my warnings. Nickel chuckled lightly before he respond, “Nickel”. “Didn’t your sis told you about me?”. He asked and his husky voice made my face redden. I
ANDRONIKA POV “NIKA!!!” I heard a familiar voice screamed my name, my mother’s figure was running towards me. It was dark, my vision was fuzzy, and all I could see were the flaming fires all around the pack. I couldn’t respond as I stared in agony. I could hear the cracking sounds of my bones as they twisted. I tried to scream, but I couldn’t. My father’s pack was on fire, and the wolves were howling and fleeing helter-skelter. Screams from every direction pierced my ears, and I could hear myself sobbing inside my chest. My father, the pack’s alpha, was fighting to protect his people. I couldn’t move my body as I stared in anguish, I couldn’t move my body. My mother was only a few meters away when she was attacked from behind by a wolf. In front of me, he pounded on her and devoured her. As I stared, wet, hot tears streamed down my cheeks. I couldn’t yell, I couldn’t help because my body was numb and wouldn’t move no matter how hard I tried. It seemed like I was battling to get
ANDRONIKA POV I averted my eyes to the empty plate on the table when his gaze met mine. “She’s Andronika, your cousin”. Gavin respond and I felt stupid when I heard he is my cousin. “Andronika meet Jamal, your cousin”. He introduced. “Hmm…”. Jamal hummed as he sat next to his mother and we were both seated opposite each other. “Jamal, where is your sister?”. Mikayla asked as she stood up and began serving the food in everyone’s plate apart from mine which she excluded. “I don’t know”. Jamal respond and somehow I could feel his eyes on me. “Look at me”. He was trying to communicate with my wolf who was silent so she didn't respond. I noticed him tilting his head so he could see my face but I made sure I bowed my head while fixing eye contact with the plate so i won’t end up looking at him. “Let's eat”. Mikayla said, she picked up her spoon her began eating. “You forgot to serve Andronika her food”. Gavin recalled. “She has hands, she can do it herself”. Mikayla mum
ANDRONIKA POV “This is your room”. Jamal said, after leading me upstairs to the last room at the end of the wall. “Thanks”. I mumbled as he unlocked the door and I entered inside. I could feel he was following me in from behind. I heard the door shut close and immediately I felt a strong hand pulling my arm. He spun me around and made me face him. With so much power he grip my elbow and I was struggling to pull free. “Who are you?”. Jamal asked, emphasizing on the word ‘you'. He raised my elbow up to his height and made me look at him so he could see my face. “Let go”. I whispered yelled as I struggled to pull free from his grip. His gaze met mine and he stared at me as if he was trying to read my mind. “Who are you?”. Jamal asked again and this time he pinned his finger deeply into my bones, making me whine in pain. it triggered my wolf as it was filled with nothing but anger and if he wouldn’t let me go right now I won’t be able to control it any longer. “Jamal let me go
