"Dad you have got to stop talking, you need every bit of strength you can muster to fight this. And besides you are scaring me." I cried as I pleaded but his weak eyes just stared back at me. 'How can he still be trying to smile?'"Sweetheart, promise me you will leave here. It will hurt but you have to endure the pain and leave. When he is stronger, when he can protect you, or when and if you finally can meet that part of you you are yet to meet, then maybe you can come back of you are strong enough. I don't want you to become a pawn in the battle of strength. Please promise me." I cried even more hearing his plea."I promise dad, I promise." He nodded as he looked visibly relieved. Mom pushed the door as she walked in, her eyes red. 'Was she crying? What did the doctor tell her?' I stood silently as I couldn't bring myself to ask her questions and I just watched her walked over and held dad's hands."You are so cruel." She told him and dad chuckled weakly."I am glad I get to live
"Sophia." Skylar's sleepy voice called as she sat up."Oh Sophy, don't cry anymore please." She pleaded as she tried to wrap me in a hug. "Your dad will hate to see you like this."I showed her the pictures and her face showed immense anger. "This has to be photoshopped. He hates being this close to other ladies that isn't you." She said as she glared at the pictures."There is only one way to find out, I am going to him." I told her as I stood up and looked for something decent but casual to wear. Since he is not picking up my calls, then I will head over to his place."But it is risky out there Sophy." I know that, I knew that but I needed to go confirm this myself. Was he really going to be engaged to that lady soon? Why? Is he being forced into it? Was that what had bothered him all through his stay with me last night?Skylar heaved a sigh and got up, she insisted on following me. I knew if I went out through the main door, I would be stopped, so I climbed down my window after pic
Skylar's POV Two days ago my only friend left and ever since I haven't been able to reach either her or her mom. And today, as I walk to the cafeteria, I forced myself to not cry. I am back to being the loner, I am not boring, and I am not a bad person either, but weirdly enough, people seem to stay away from me. They seem to be uninterested in getting to know me. When Sophia had first resumed, seeing her wear that big sweater and being fidgety, I had approached her, and God when I saw her, I had thought she would be a bitch and walk away. She had both the face and the body to compare with the school hottest girl and she would have most likely won, yet that girl prefers to hide behind a big sweater. I wanted to unravel her, and when her relationship with Alex got serious, well she started loosening up. I was happy to see her happy, that in love. "Skylar, wait up. Hi." Caius called and I turned to see them all walking over. Since the tension, we are only seeing today for the
"Are you ready yet? Your dad will drop you off on his way to work." Millie called out for her daughter. "Almost out!" Sophia looked at herself in the mirror one more time as she tried to control her body. She felt nervous, the thought of starting at a new school in her senior year frightened her. Having just moved here because of her father's work, Sophia knew she had no choice, her parents were busy trying to make sure she had the best of everything. "I can do this." She cheered herself as she left the room. 'If only words of encouragement worked magic.' She sighed in her heart as she went outside her room. Their home was quite big. It was a three bedroom bungalow, beautiful and cozy. She especially loved how spacious her room was and the attached closet she got. Sophia was grateful for her father's promotion as that brought in more money to get family, and although she wouldn't be missing her previous home as she had no friends. But the idea of having to be the center of atte
Alexios "Hermes said the new occupant at the Millers has a daughter." The Alpha began as he watched his son who busied himself with breakfast. "She is registered in your school." He added. The school was originally founded by the werewolves for their kids to study, but as human civilization kept on developing, they didn't only discover the school, but they built homes so close to them too. The Werewolf community but to learn to live with humans while hiding their true form. Alexios pack is the largest pack, but not the strongest. His ancestors had made a community for themselves. With several buildings given out for rent, they had many humans living in their community. Of course, The werewolves lived separately from humans, some estate was built just for the Werewolves, and those who does not intend to live in an estate had their homes built closer to the forest for easy access to go for a run. To the humans, Alexios father is just a mayor to them. The Millers had lived here f
"I don't know." Alexios shrugged. He didn't ask his father for a picture of her. As far as he knows, she should be the only new student joining them. "Bye!" Ophelia waved at the boys as she hopped out of the car before running towards her friends. "Coffee?" Alexios asked. They were not one to go to school early so they decided to spend some time at a coffee shop. The only reason why Alexios wakes up early is to bring Ophelia who cannot wait to be with her friends to school. "We should get going." Wyatt told them looking at his wristwatch. They all nodded agreeing with him. Exiting the coffee shop, they drove back to school, the closer they got to their class for the morning, the more agitated Alexios got. "Are you good man?" His friends surrounded him, their eyes scanning him with concern. "Erskine is acting up." Alexios told them as he turned around and ran toward the back of the school. The friends were right behind him as they all shred their uniforms as soon as they wer
Sophia's POV "Need help?" A voice asked startling Sophia. "I am sorry, I didn't mean to startle you. You just seemed lost." The red-haired apologized. "No, uhm, I mean yes I do need help." 'Dammit Sophia, why are you stuttering?' She smiled shyly at the red-haired whose name she is yet to know. "Awesome then. It would have been so awkward if you didn't need help." The red-haired girl laughed. "Oh... Uhm... My class, I don't know where to go." Sophia told her as she passed her timetable over. "Geography. How perfect. I have the same class too. Come on, let's walk together. And I am Skylar Liam by the way." Skylar stretched her hand to her. "Sophia... My name is Sophia... Uhm Sophia Adalee James." Skylar chuckled as she thought of her as cute. Her little stuttering was fun and cute. "Nice to meet you Sophia." Skylar grinned before pulling Sophia with her as they both walked down the hall. Skylar asked so many questions, including her age, what allergy she has, any health
ALEXIOS POV "Hello, I am Sophia Adalee James. I am your new classmate." 'Sophia Adalee. My mates's name is Sophia Adalee.' "How old are you?" Wyatt's hands instantly fell on my knee as I forced myself to not growl. How dare a male ask my mate such a question in a flirty tone?! "You can't. You will scare her." I heard his voice in my head. Indeed, she is human. Fuck!!! "I clocked seventeen on February 16th." Sophia answered. "She is older than you are." Hearing Owen's amused voice in my head had me scowling while the other two smiled. "We are of the same age!" I defended. "Yes you both are, except your birthday is not until May. Doesn't this mean she is three months older than you are?" Owen gasped while I felt like punching him. "Three months and some days. His birthday is not May 16th but May 25th." Caius added, his tone even more annoying than Owen's. Wyatt looked like he was enjoying a show. "You all should find your way home!" I huffed. Sophia looked relieved as she
