Stella POV.
I woke up at school, I wasn't very excited about school, but if I went to school then I wouldn't have to go to the stupid doctor, I'm fine, I don't have anything that's wrong with me, I was just tired, I was scared and things happened, but I'm fine, I'm healthy.
I wore my uniform and fixed my hair, I got my bag and walked down to the kitchen to meet with the rest, I sat down and ate my breakfast waiting for Finn and dad to join us too."You're going to school?" Dad asks me.
"You say it like it's a bad thing," I say with a shrug. "I'm still going to get you a doctor's appointment," Dad says in a firm voice. "But I need to get to school dad, I can't skip, we just started school yesterday," I say sounding hurt over the fact that I'm going to be skipping school."She's right, let her go to school," Mom says with a smile on her face.
"Thanks, mom," I say with a big smile on my face, it felt like I got out of going to the doctor and I'm happy about that. "Come on, let's go," dad says leaving the house and the both of us follow him to get to the school."Do you like school? What do you think of it so far?" Dad asks us both.
"It's a school dad, it's eww of course," Finn says making a face. "What about you Stella?" he asks me. "It's Eww of course, but the building is very interesting, it's not that bad," I say, the school wasn't the worst really."That's good," dad says sounding relieved, I know how scared and worried he must be over the fact that he moved us to the other side of the world and threw us into a new school. The rest of the ride was silent, dad made sure to show us the bus stop, reminding us where we should be going back, and making us promise to call him so he'd help us get home instead of being lost on the way home.
We got to the school and he dropped us off, I said bye to Finn and walked in searching for my locker, I didn't get the chance to discover it yesterday, but today I had time, I managed to find it and placed my bag inside it, setting my books in and only taking the ones I needed for now.
I looked for Calesti, well I tried to find her, but when I didn't manage to, I went to my first class and sat there alone, I tried my best to avoid the eyes, but people were still looking at me."You're American right?" one student asks me and I nod.
"Yeah," I say out loud. "Cool, is it true you have a Starbucks in every street?" he asks me. "Not every single one, but there's many," I answer him. "Cool," he says and goes back to talking to his friends, so that's all he's interested in, Starbucks, cool.The next class was one I shared with Calesti and I was glad to have her along with me, I had someone to sit next to me and talk to me, I didn't feel as lonely now, she had a smile on her face as she sat down next to me.
"You got lost yesterday?" she asks me with a knowing look. "I did, who told you?" I ask her confused, I didn't tell her and I knew my brother wouldn't tell, it's very embarrassing to get lost while trying to get home."The prince charming who saved you, he was so happy about saving you," she says making eyes at me and I looked at her confused.
"Why did he tell you?" I ask turning bloody red, I didn't want him to tell people about it. "He didn't tell me, I got it out of him, and he was very happy about it, I think someone has a crush on you," she says making me blush, I had a giant crush on him as well. "Okay," I say my cheeks going bloody red."Oh my god," she says her eyes going wild.
"What?" I say the blush still there. "You have a crush back, that's so sweet," she says making eyes at me again."Calesti, this isn't nice," I scold her, it's not nice of her to be teasing me like that.
"It's very nice, Theo has a huge crush and so do you, what's wrong with it?" she says in a matter of facts. "I don't know how to act around boys," I whisper to her, I wasn't sure how to act around Theo, what to say or how to act. "You just be you, I'm sure he'll love you more than he could even imagine, he'll be there for you no matter what you do or how bad you act, he'll be your number one," she says with confidence, she talked as if she knew Theo personally, or maybe she dated him before, I wasn't sure why, but a big jealousy wave hit my body, I was ready to rip Calesti's head off for talking about him."And how do you know?" I ask her between gritted teeth, I shouldn't hit her, she's my friend, he means nothing to me, but she's my friend.
"Oh, I know Theo, didn't I tell you we're cousins?" she asks and I shook my head no. "We grew up together, I think I told you so, we're cousins," she says and I could breath again, I was relived."You're close to him?" I ask her with a raised brow.
"Yes, we're very close, the whole family is tight, so when he was acting strange, I managed to get him talking," she says with a smile. "Calesti, if Theo is royal how are you not?" I ask her. "Shh, pay attention," she says, looking back at the teacher, I wanted to ask her some more questions but she ignored me, we're friends, she's gonna have to talk to me.We left the class, and I was trying to talk to her again, but she wouldn't tell me anything, and then Theo joined us, he had his big smile on his face, the smile that had my heart beating like crazy, the crush was real.
"Hey, Stella," he says my name sounding like sweet honey from his lips. "Hey," I say with a shy smile. "Hey! what about me? The best friend?" Calesti asks pushing herself between us two."Hey, Cici," Theo says his eyes still on me, and my smile got deeper as did my blush, I couldn't move at all, all I could do was look at him and blush.
"Hey, Theo, come on, we're gonna be late," Calesti says, dragging me to my next class, so Theo walked along with us. "So are you going to tell me more about you Stella?" he asks me, and I nod, I'll tell him anything he wants to know about me, but I'm not sure what he wants to know."You're gonna have to ask her, she's shy," Calesti says making me blush some more, I didn't mean it like this, but I'm greateful for the help.
"So tell me more about you Stella, what's your pack?" he asks me and I looked at him confused, what is he talking about? "Huh?" I answer him."He measn who are your people, he's bad with wording," Calesti says giving Theo a death glare.
"Calesti is my people," I say confused, she's my only friend right now, and she's the only one I got. "Cool, she can be your people, which makes me your people as well," he says with a big smile on his face. "It doesn't work like that," I say looking at him confused. "She's my cousin, meaning we're from the same pack, we're the same people, and her people are my people," he says with confidence making me laugh out loud, he's funny."I'm sure it doesn't work like that," I say laughing out loud now.
"I say it does," Theo says walking next to me, we went into our classroom and he walked with us. "Shouldn't you go to your class?" Calesti asks him. "I want to sit with you, I'll just pretend to be part of the class," he whispers to us. "You can't do that," I say with a chuckle. "Watch me," he says taking a seat next to me, I couldn't help but smile at him, I loved that he's sitting here with me, that he skipped his own class to stay with me."Tell me more, where are you from?" he asks me while the teacher was going on about the class.
"I'm from the US, where we have a lot of Starbucks," I say remembring the earlier question, he chuckled, he found it funny thankfully. "That's cool, I'm from around here," he says.He asked me a couple more questions, about my age, and my class, he's a year older than me, but he's hiding in our class so he could talk to us, mostly me, I think the teacher wasn't paying a lot of attention or maybe he picked his battles. There was a knock on our door, and the whole class went started talking out loud, the person on the door talked a bit to the teacher and then left.
"Stella Star," the teacher says walking back inside the class and I looked at him confused, why was he calling me?
"Yes?" I say out loud. "Get your stuff and move toward the office, your mother is here for you," he says making me turn red, what does my mother want from me? Why is she here?"What's going on?" Calesti asks me and I think about why mom was here, then I remembered this morning discussion and why I decided to get to school to hide from her, the doctor.
"I'm going to the doctor," I say with a sigh, leaving the class.I walked with a giant pout toward the office, I saw my mother waiting for me outside, I walked toward her still pouting, I got inside the car and didn't look happy.
"I just need to check on you," mom says trying to make it up for me. "I'm fine," I say still pouting. "They're not giving you any shots, that should count," mom says, the thing that's worst than doctors, it's shots."Does me not killing anyone counts?" I ask her with a fake smile.
"Stella, sweetie, you can pout all you want, but I need to make sure that my daughter is healthy," she says and I shrug, I was fine, I told her that I'm fine, why does she need to take me to the doctor?She parked in front of the clinic, and opened her door first and got out, she looked at me waiting for me to get out, I could just stay in the car, I could hide in here and not go out and see the doctor, the person I hate with passion.
"Come on Stella, don't be like this," mom says with a sigh. "I can be like this, it's not fair to make me go to the doctor," I sass."We can call your father and see what he thinks," she threatens me but I'm not six anymore, she can't threaten me with my father, I rolled my eyes at her, that wasn't fair.
"He doesn't scare me," I answer her. "He will," she threatens. "What's the worst he would do? Move us halfway through the world?" I ask her with a raised brow."Tell you what brat, come in, let the doctor check on you, I'll tell him nothing, and we'll go shopping until your brother comes home," she says.
"I get to pick tonight's dinner," I say. "Deal," she says and I open my door and walk out toward the doctor so he could tell her I'm normal, our deal didn't include me not pouting anymore, so I kept on pouting as wel walked in.Stella POV.A strange number was calling me, I looked at my phone and looked at Mom, we're still in the car, we're going back home, the doctor's news wasn't that good, the doctor said I was a bit underweight, and that I need to take some kind of vitamins, I glared at the doctor as he kept on going talking about how the sun and the town weather would fix me up, would make me feel better, but I only glared at him, I'll be much better if I go back home."What's going on?" Mom asks me as I'm looking at my phone confused."A number is calling me, it's a strange one, no one knows my American number," I say, we didn't have time for me to switch numbers yet, so no one is supposed to know this number."Answer it, maybe it's your father," she says, but my dad was still using his American number as well, he messages and never calls, but maybe he's just worried about me, I answered the starnge number still very confused about who that is."Hello," I answer the phone."Stella, are you okay?" A voi
Calesti POV.Jealousy is a green monster, jealousy is behind most fights among children, the ones who can't control their feelings and end up hurting each other, I know we're not like others, I know we're different but we should respect each other feelings.Theo is my cousin, he's like a brother to me, we're good friends, we might not be spending a lot of time together at school, but outside of school we're good friends, and we spend a lot of time together.I'm not a human, and neither is Theo, and that might be really cool, it's fun and all, but Theo is messing with the wrong person, Theo is too close to having his ass handed to him by our boss, that to put it in human terms, and messing with Milo never ends up well.When Theo dragged the human girl out of the restaurant I followed them, I don't trust Theo alone with her either, I know he's her number one protector, he'll be the one who'd keep her safe always and forever, but that doesn't mean that he won't get mad or overwhelm her w
Finn POV."I don't understand why are you crying?" I ask my sister confused, she's a softie, she cries easily, and today is a bad day, I didn't want our parents to see her crying, they are good and nice and all, but if they find out she's crying about something stupid, which she most probably is crying about, they wouldn't be so nice or soft on her, favourite or not, dad isn't raising a softie, he's raising a bad bitch."I'm not crying," My older sister lies to me, I'm only fourteen but I can easily read her, I know when she's crying for real, and when she's just tired, she's lying about being tired, something made her cry."Liar, did someone hurt you? You just have to tell me and I'll deal with them," I say meaning every word I have said, I'll be there for my sister, older or younger, she's my sibling and I'll take care of her."No one hurt me," she says, and I believed her, but as I said she's sensitive."Then did someone say something that made you feel hurt?" I asked her in a soft
Stella POV.My brother was on my side, and mom tried to talk to me, but I wasn't sure how to tell them about everything that had happened, how do I explain how things were going and why? I don't even understand half of the things that are going on, but they are going and I'm standing here confused, looking at things like a lost girl."Hello," I answer the phone, seeing another strange number, it must be Calesti."Hey, do you need a ride to school?" Calesti asked me and I thought about it, do I want to see Theo again this soon?"Uhh... you don't have to, dad can drive us on his way to work, and I have my brother with me," I say trying to get out of this."Hey, it's just me, I can drive you both," Calesti says, so it's just her in the car, Theo wasn't there, it wouldn't be that bad after all."Okay," I agree with Calesti."Great, I'll be there in five minutes," she says, I was still in bed, I couldn't sleep, I had been awake most of the night, and I didn't feel like getting up this morn
Stella POV.I ran through the wind, I ran as fast as I could, I ran off without thinking, I didn't look back, I didn't need to know if he was following me or not, I was worried about looking back and seeing him behind me, I don't know what got into his head, but I knew that I should keep some distance, a lot of distance between the two of us, I don't know if a crush is worth this, but I knew I'm better off.I didn't know the way back home, and I wasn't very familiar with the area yet, I could call mom and ask her to come and get me, or maybe I could get near Dad's work and he could drive me back, I'll lie and tell him I got lost and came here to catch a ride with him, he wouldn't be mad if I'm here for a ride. Now that I had made up my mind, I kept on running, when I got near I'll ask where his work was, but for now, I'm still running, I felt, I didn't dare to look back but I had the feeling that I was being followed, and the best way to lose someone is to get out of their sight.I ra
Milo POV.From the day I was born, I was taught about my role in life, about what I'll grow up to be, it wasn't optional for me to be this or that, I had one option and I was going to take it, love it or not, it's my life now, and I had to live with it.We're not like others, my family is different, and coming from a different species means I'm more than just special, I'm special between the special people as well.Back in the day, when the gods ran the earth before humans took over and the new world was created, the gods had a love toward animals that had fur and fangs, long nails, and paws. Those animals walked on all four, but they didn't have any consciousness, they were animals, living in packs, running around, but they were guards, dog guards, but the gods needed their guards to be able to communicate with them, so they gave them some conscious, they made them human-like, and then they could shift into their animal form so they can protect the gods.The gods came and went from t
Calesti POV.I found him, I jumped up and down happily, I saw him in my wolf form and decided he was mine, I knew he was mine, my wolf wanted to go in, actually run in and go tell him that we'll have the best life together ever. But I knew better than to do that, he's my new friend's brother which gives me a chance to get to know him a little bit more without freaking him out.I stayed near his house as he moved around, I saw him talking with his sister who was terrified of us, Theo really needs to get his temper under control, he's being an idiot.When my mate went to sleep, I moved to stand underneath his window, listening to him moving and breathing, is he feeling the pull that I was feeling toward him, I had to move back to be able to look at him from the window, I'm his mate, it's not creepy, and I'll close my eyes not to see anything inappropriate. I saw him moving toward the window and so I ducked hiding from him, not wanting him to see me or to freak him out by seeing a wolf l
Stella POV.I flipped in my bed once more, unable to sleep, my brain was being fucked, and messed with by two guys, a blondie and a dark-eyed monster, I felt a pull toward them both, I couldn't tell which one was worst, Milo was older, he didn't go to school with us, but the way he carries himself, the confidence and the dominance, it made my heart melt, I felt like a child near him, I felt like I could give up everything and let him take care of me knowing he would do the job without a second thought, that he'd be the one who'd take good care of me.But with Theo, it's different, with Theo, he's the bad boy, the one who likes to start fights, who wants to get on my good side, but he's also crazy, I don't understand what he thought would happen. I'm not Isabella Swan from the Twilight movie, and he's clearly not a vampire, there's the wolf that followed me in the woods, and even that wouldn't work, Bella had her undying love toward her vampire, I say don't get near my neck or my blood
