Sophia's POV "Well dynamite, I have got to confess when I said I wanted to meet the boy you are dating, I wasn't expecting to be meeting him together with his family." Dad had been shocked when he came back home and heard of Alexios and his family's visit. "Well, doesn't that just make the surprise even better?" Mom luckily helped me out. "We should smile a bit more to avoid our guests feeling unwelcomed when they do come." Mom added and dad only frowned more."I am not begging them to like my daughter." He muttered grudgingly. "That sucks for you then, your daughter likes their son. So they must like your daughter for her relationship to be successful." Skylar looked at me, she didn't need to speak for me to know she is wondering why the abrupt change in mom's character towards Alexios. Truthfully, I am wondering the same, hence why I am a little worried for Alexios. I have tasted every dish she made and ascertained that none had been made to punish him. Not that I think she wou
Sophy's POV I bit my lips as I cast a pity glance his way. I didn't expect mom to play such a childish trick just so he wouldn't eat the food she had made. But then again, this is way better than all the thoughts that had gone through my head. "Awesome. Do you by chance know why she had cried earlier? These two are refusing to tell me anything." What does she mean by we didn't?! She had literally squeezed the reason out of our heads earlier. Skylar and I shared a look."You cried?" Dad asked watching me. I know him well enough to know he is getting upset. Shaking my head, I gave him a reassuring smile. "It wasn't much of a big deal dad." Seeing the frown that was still etched on his face, I held his palm as I squeezed silently promising him that I was fine and it had truly not been much of a big deal.But dad ignored me as he watched Alexios glaringly."I..." He stuttered glancing around the room. Before stopping his gaze on me. I don't know why, but I looked away and instead conce
We both walked side by side, none of us uttering a word. "Sophia..." He suddenly stopped causing me to stop too. "I am sorry. I had not intended to hurt you with my actions, and by the time I realized it, the damage had already been done." Watching him look so apologetic when I had been the one at fault made me frown even more. His words had kept on playing in my head. 'I hadn't meant to make her cry, I... I just wanted her attention more. She was too concerned about how others would view our relationship that she didn't realize how affected I was by that. I honestly only wanted her to experience how we would be with one another.' I didn't realize how hurt he could get with my decision. I had thought I was doing the right thing as that would help him keep his reputation."No I am sorry Alexios. I had promised myself that I would always be open with you and communicate my thoughts to you but I didn't which caused this misunderstanding. I didn't realize how hurt you could get because
Once again, I woke up both nervous and excited. Today will be the first time I will be seen in public with Alexios as his girlfriend."Sophia, Alexios is here for you." What? He is here? 'Why would he come so early?' I questioned myself as he hadn't told me of his plans to come over when we texted each other this morning. 'It can't be, can it?' "Here she is." Mom turned to me smiling. My eyes found Alexios. He was seated across of dad, he gave me a smile while I had to stop myself from smiling back at him. "You two had better leave now else you will be late." Mom who looked excited urged as she passed my lunch box to me. "Oh, by the way, will you be bringing her home later too?" I had mom ask which made me turn to look at her as I wondered if it was really okay for a mom to be this supportive of her child's relationship.Seeing the look from dad and I, mom chuckled awkwardly, "I want to visit the salon later today and I can't go this morning as I need to sleep. One can't actually la
I need to make sure I am always in control. I cannot let Erskine out. I had almost lost control over him just now."I too want to be with our mate. You can't be the only one she knows." Erskine complained in my head as we both fought for control."Breaking news Erskine, if we do that, she will run away from us." He is been top stubborn."Are you wearing a lens?" Her question came as a shock to both Erskine and I. He quickly went quiet. Did she see Erskine?"Yeah, I did. You don't like it?" I glared at Erskine. How dare he create this mess for me, how dare he make me lie to her?! What did she see? Was it just the change in my eyes? "What the fuck did you show her?" To think I had only lost control for a moment.She is staring at me, her gaze on md felt questioning, doubtful... This had me on an edge. I know for a fact that Erskine hadn't revealed his true form. He only came forward, was it his aura? Did that frighten her?"Look at me Alexios." She asked and I turned to her, forcing a s
Sophia's POV It is still funny how it had felt like yesterday when we started dating and today we are celebrating our sixth month of being together. Dating Alexios has been nothing short of beautiful, even for someone who is as pessimistic as myself, I am unable to find any fault in him. I have watched him try to get to know me, to be better, and to improve. Being with him has been good for me too. It helped me control my temperament and I have grown to be more patient than I was."When is he coming to get you?" Mom asked for the umpteenth time. There are times when I wonder whether I am her kid or if Alexios was her kid."I don't know mom. He hasn't been picking up my calls." We had planned to spend the whole day together. We wanted to probably go for a hike and then make a tent for a picnic. Somewhere quiet, somewhere we will be making our place. I had tried calling him all day but it kept ringing with no one picking up."Maybe he is trying to prepare a good surprise event for you.
Allison's POV "Luna, you should get some rest." Margaret, one of the older pack members advised as she held my hand. "Thank you Margaret, but I promise I am okay." Smiling at her, I left to go check on the recent new mother whose child hadn't stopped crying."Hi," I squatted as I took the little girl from her almost crying mom. "Go get some rest, I have got this." The lady whose name I am unsure of shed a tear as she gave her thanks. One of the benefits of being a Luna, is the ability to connect with all pack kids in a way that cannot be explained. With the little girl in my arms, I moved around to ascertain every one was okay and not panicking. Having their mates, sons, and to some daughters out there fighting to protect our home, and pack, worrying and panicking over their safety is imminent. "Luna, the public landline is ringing." Jesse, the Gamma female informed me."They might just be curious over the blockages mounted. Talk to them please." I responded to her as I went on to
Sophia's POV "Sweetheart, you are up already?" Mom asked her voice laced with concern as she looked at me."Yes mom, I couldn't bring myself to sleep." My heart had refused to be calm, it kept racing and I felt really uncomfortable. If only anyone could tell me he is alright, it would be even better to have him tell me that himself. "You need to rest. Your mental health is important Sophia. Look at you, you don't look alright. You should have forced your eyes to stay closed until you actually sleep off." Mom reprimanded me as she glared at me. "I..." I had no excuse. "I will sleep, I promise. As soon as I am able to, I will definitely sleep." Although I made such a promise, I had my doubts. 'What if I am still unable to sleep?' "I spoke with Allison, they are fine." Mom informed me. I sighed in relief."She picked up." I whispered. I had been worried about the silence from his home, the period I had been together with Alexios, I know how much he values his family, and the way he w
