Stella POV."You want to spend the night Cici? You can borrow some of my clothes and I can wash the uniform for tomorrow," I suggest, tomorrow is Friday, and it's the last day of the week finally."I don't want to be a burden," Calesti says, and then my brother gave me his best puppy eyes, he wants her to stay, and I would like to have her around."You're not, and Mom loves you already," I answer her, mom clearly likes her, they talk a bit together, and she gets Mom's respect right away."If you're really sure that it's okay, then I'll stay," Calesti says with a tight smile, I nod my head yes, I wanted her to stay."Mom, Calesti is staying, is that okay?" I ask my mother just to be sure it's fine to let her stay in for the night."Of course, she's more than welcome, but she has to stay in your room and not Finn's," Mom says making Cici turn red and Finn pout, he wanted her to stay in his room. He should know better, she's not going to stay in his room, maybe after he turns eighteen, n
Stella POV."Calesti, I don't have anything to wear," I whisper to her as we sit down alone, the others are looking at us, they are looking at me as if I'm some weirdo, maybe it's because Milo asked me out on a date, I didn't expect that, but it happened."We can check the shops if you want, or you can borrow some of mine," she suggests, I have some money, they are what I have saved from back at home, and it's my first date here, I should be going all out."Can we check the shop?" I ask her, and she has a wide smile on her face, she looks like she's gonna be enjoying shopping,"Let's go, let's go," she says, grabbing my hand and going toward the door, I looked at my brother who shrugged, he have found some of his school friends to spend time with and he's not the biggest fan of shopping.We went toward the first shop and walked in, Calesti stopped in the middle of the shop and then turned to me, she whispered in a low voice just in my ear, 'How much are you willing to spend? do I look
Milo POV.Theo wasn't giving in, he's still very pissed, and very angry at everyone, he was not letting anyone talk to him, and that includes me, my father, our beta, and even Calesti tried talking to him, he's going insane, he's going rogue, we should bring his soul over and let him talk to her, but we couldn't do that, she doesn't know what wolves are yet, and she'll be terrified of being told that she holds the soul of a very angry wolf."Theo, help me out here, I don't want to keep you in here," I say out loud trying to get him to just stop growling and fighting, I didn't want to hurt him, he's hurting, and he's one of my pack members, he's a relative of mine, we don't share the same blood, but being a pack means we are related."I can force you into shifting you know," I say throwing my chair on the floor and trying to scare him, but look at him not giving a fuck, I was listening to him via the alpha bond, and nothing he said was any good.'I'm going to burn you in hell,' he thre
Stella POV.My date was going great, I was enjoying my time very much with Milo, he made me laugh, and he took me to the movie although it wasn't the best movie ever, I enjoyed it along with him, we had a nice chat about wolves and vampires, he kept trying to talk to me about being a wolf, and although it's very funny, I don't think it could happen in real life."I'd say that you are high as the sky," I say, he made me giggle, but he kept talking about wolves as if they were real, I always loved playing pretend, but he took it to another level, and I enjoyed it."Would you like in?" he says with an eye roll, and I laugh, he's really high, if he thinks the wolves are real and they howl to the moon, he must be on some real kind of drugs. "Sure," I answer him which makes him frown, so he could get high and I can't?"Stop laughing," he frowns, but it only made me laugh some more, he's really taking this seriously."Milo, I'd love for wolves to be real," I say with a smile, I would love t
Stella POV."Finn, do you feel anything?" I asked my brother, I could feel, sense like I was being watched, I was sure that I was being watched, I don't know how or where but someone was looking at me."Yes, I feel that you're very annoying," my brother answers me, it's the third time that I woke him up, I didn't mean to, but I was terrified."I feel someone watching us," I whisper to him."Who's going to be watching you idiot? Get back to sleep so I can sleep," he groans."Can you check Finn? Please," I beg him."Check where? The closet? We're not five anymore," he answers me."No, the window," I say, I wasn't scared of monsters that live in the closet, although I should have been, who knows, if the werewolves really exist, why not monsters inside the closet too?"Fine, but after that, you're gonna let me sleep or I'm going back to my room," he groaned, and went toward the window, he looked out and told me that he saw nothing."Look well, what if there's wolves?" I ask him, they aren
Stella POV.I didn't feel that good, the feeling of being under pressure, of being watched didn't leave my body as we went to school, I didn't care this morning, I let Finn sit next to Calesti in the front seat, they were talking and having fun, no need for me to be the party pooper."Are you okay?" they both asked me sounding worried."I'm just tired," I answer them with a tight smile, Calesti gave me a knowing look while Finn looked to be worried.When we made it to the school, we all got out, I smiled one more time at my friend and brother, I was doing a great job pretending I was fine, I was very proud of not breaking down and crying yet, but their faces said that I wasn't doing that good of a job, but I continued.We went to our classes as normal, there was the usual gossiping that happens every day in school, but it's a high school, what else would you expect, everyone had something on everyone, and they liked sharing. The looks I was receiving today were different, some of the
Stella POV."Can I hug you?" he asks me giving me a very pleading look, I just agreed to be friends with him, and a hug won't kill me right? If we're connected somehow, I want to know more about it, I need to find out more about everything."Okay," I say, I was rigid as he got near me, as he hugged me, he took a deep breath near my neck, and a smile got on his face as he let me go."You smell so good, it's a wolf thing," he says with a smile on his face, he was too happy while I was still worried, I didn't trust him fully yet."Thank you, it's a me thing," I say with a tight smile, I'm trying to smile, trying to act as normal, but it's very hard."Do you want to go anywhere?" he asks me."No, can't we just stay here? I can't really go, mom would get mad," I lied, I did tell her that I'll be around here and I didn't want to go anywhere with him."Okay, we can stay here," he says taking a seat, and I do the same, there were no chairs around here, just tree trunks and some big rocks for
Calesti POV."Alpha, you know I like you, but I don't like being called here often," I groan standing in front of my alpha, I was called again to his place, and he told me that I have to keep an eye on Stella and Theo, and now that Theo has gone insane, I'm called over again."I thought we were friends," he says and I shake my head no, we're not that good of friends, he's my alpha and he scares me most days, but I do count him as a friend when I have to."Fine, fine, we're not great friends, but you're my friend, I can ask you for help, right?" he says looking at me with pleading eyes."What now?" I ask with a big pout, I love my cousin, but I'm not his keeper and he's been getting in trouble with the alpha, they have hurt each other more than once, and every time Theo ends up with a broken bone or two, and still they are fighting."I don't want to force you to do anything, I just want to ask you one question, you know Stella and you know Theo," he says and I nod, I do know them both,
