Sharlynn's POV
I woke up with a smile on my face, it was probably the same smile that was on my face when I slept last night. I had wanted to be naked underneath Darren's sheets as I lay by his side and that was what I got to experience all night. I giggled when I remembered how he had woke me up at night for more sex.
His arms were still on my waist since last night, since I was lying down on my side and with my back against him, I could feel his soft breathing as he slept. I wondered what he looked like when sleeping, it would be nice to watch him sleep and to be by his side when he wakes up. I lifted his arm from my waist and gently turned around to face him but he was already awake and was smiling at me.
" You're so beautiful when you sleep." He said and I grunted. I wanted to be the one to say that to him, he was always one step ahead, wasn't he? He smiled and kissed me softly on my lips while I wrapped my arms around his waist and pressed my
Sharlynn's POVThe rest of the day went fine. Since Kyle stormed out of chemistry class, I did the whole thing myself and the other classes that followed were pretty good too - because he wasn't present.When the sound of the bell rang signifying the close of school, I was still thinking about the fact that my mom gave Kyle my dad's sleeve to put on to school! Did she have a thing for Kyle? What exactly prompted her to do something so stupid?" Hey, babe. Let's go get your brothers." Darren said from behind me and I nodded." First of all, let me call their teacher. I need to know if they're still at their school or if someone has already picked them up." I said and Darren handed me his phone." Are you expecting someone else to pick up your brothers?" He asked as I dialed their class teacher's number on his phone." Yeah, I have a feeling that my mom has probably adopted Kyle to the Carter family," I said as I
Sharlynn's POVIt didn't take too long - just a few minutes and Darren got better and his wounds healed thankfully.But Darren wasn't the only one I cared about so I warned Tom about Kyle just in case you tried anything funny or being more realistic, in case he tries to kill Tom. I put down my phone after calling Tom and then I spend some time with Darren and was tempted to sleep over at his place but I got a call from my mom saying she wouldn't be home tonight so I had to babysit my brothers who had still not forgiven me for... Something I was still not sure about." Be careful on your way back Sharlynn," Darren said as I covered him with his sheets and I kissed him." I've gotten a hang of my powers now, anyone who comes against me is gonna be in serious trouble. So, don't worry about me okay?" I said with a reassuring smile and he smiled too and closed his sleepy eyes.Though he had healed, he said that he still felt the stings
Kyle's POVArrogant, ruthless, selfish, wicked, one who lives for chaos - these are all words that have been used to describe me because that was what I wanted people to think of me.You know that typical guy who looks evil and is like a bad boy on the surface but soft and loving on the inside that was my real personality but after the things I experienced before my burdensome centuries of living, I made an oath never to let anyone know that part of me.The only person who ever came close to knowing that part of me recently was Dean. Not even Kimmel could recognize me anymore after we were turned into werewolves.Back then in Veilah, I was a lanky, light-hearted yet handsome seventeen-year-old boy who everyone loved. My mother raised me and Kimmel with a good heart and anyone who bought animals from our farm would call us sweet boys.I scoffed as I wondered what all those women who tipped me big-time whenever I smiled and ha
Kyle's POVI saw the horror and disgust in her eyes as she tucked her hair and blinked repeatedly, trying to process the fact that I had just insinuated that I had feelings for her. She looked beyond disgusted as she said, " if you really feel that way about me how could you treat me - "" - I know but at least hear me out - " I said as I tried to explain to her that she was wrong about me, that I was too proud to show my feelings to her so I showed it to her family. That was the only reason why I dropped off her mom and brothers at work and school and the reason why I babysit her little brothers while she was away being probably screwed by her boyfriend.Were my earlier sins so great that she couldn't see all that I've gone out of my proud ass way to do for her? I wanted to explain to her how I was taken aback by her beauty the day she almost tripped and I caught her but that day I felt threatened by the effect her beauty and innocence had on
Sharlynn's POV" Why are you crying?", that was the first thing Freddie asked me as I stormed into my house, I gasped as I touched my cheeks and saw tears on my hand... Did I seriously cry?Sure I was pissed off that Dean and Kimmel were mad at me and treating me badly because they were sure that I'd somehow killed Kyle by threatening to reject him as my mate. Besides, me finding out that he just staged the whole thing really upset me but I still didn't expect that I had been crying from the moment Kyle dismissed me from his room to when I entered our house" Ugh!! It's nothing." I said as I went straight to the kitchen to make lunch for them. I needed something to get my mind off of how mad I was at Dean, Kimmel, and Kyle so cooking was my best option right now." Sharlynn, are you okay?" Freddie asked me again, this time he looked really concerned and he adjusted his adorable new glasses Kimmel had got him and I sni
Darren's POVI've been worried sick about Sharlynn. Aunt Linda had called me after lunch to inform me that our protection spells were failing and I rushed down there to help out with the spell but then when we got the spell back up eventually, Tom called me saying that he sensed that Sharlynn was in trouble.I met him back at school when a lot of students had already gone, and tried asking the few who stayed behind." She seemed very upset today about that Sonya girl. It isn't a coincidence that the day Sonya comes Sharlynn is missing" Tom said as he scrolled through the contacts on his phone." Why would she be upset because of Sonya?" I asked as I watched him scroll frantically through his phone." Because she is starting to get attracted to Kyle," Tom said so easily as if he was talking about the weather!" Kyle?! No way, Sharlynn hates him."" Well, you weren't there when she was staring d
Darren's POVI paced up and down on the balcony, thinking about ways to find Kyle and Sharlynn. I had already sent witches to locate Kyle but they couldn't find him because he was possessed. His soul could not be found anywhere unless the demon Aveera placed in Kyle leaves him.Meredith was standing outside our house, watching me. She knew that I was on the verge of losing control of my temper and when that happens...well things never really end up well." We've found him!" I heard Nathan, one of the witches under Meredith yell as he was flowed by two other women. He was running as fast as he could to our house but I didn't have the patience for his feeble legs to reach where I was so I sped off to him, startling him.I stretched out my hand and he quietly placed the piece of white paper in my hands before he left. I knew that he feared me because of my vampire side but rather than feel bad about the fact that I wanted to be loved and not fear
Kyle's POVI had just come out of the bathroom to clear my head. I got out of the bathroom after toweling my body dry and threw on some random clothes just so I could have a quick nap.I sighed as I covered myself from head to toe in my sheets and then I closed my eyes to sleep but I just couldn't. I was exhausted, doing God knows what while I was possessed by whatever the hell that was yet all I wanted was to sleep but I couldn't.I knew I was lucky to not have been killed so I decided to think happy thoughts only, maybe that would help. I closed my eyes and saw Sharlynn dressed in the most beautiful yet simple blue dress that I could imagine. Everything was back in the 1500s and I was coming back from a hunt, I didn't catch anything good but she still smiled at me." Welcome home Honey," she said with the most innocent, beautiful smile I could have never imagined, and then two little boys ran towards me shouting, " Father!" At th
Seventeen years later In seventeen years, Hollow hills blossomed immensely and turned into a very busy city with several tourist attractions - as Ricky-Shawn the new Mayor promised. Ricky-Shawn did not remember anything about being Varris' descendants. He was just busy doing what he knew how to do best - be a tough leader. Dean and Kayla still lead their pack and got married formally just to please Kayla's parents. With the help of Kyle and Sharlynn, their pack multiplied but they still kept their pact with Ricky-Shawn's father in order to keep their existence hidden. It was the seventeenth year of Dean's reign and he had thrown a lavish party to welcome all guests from far and near that wished to celebrate with him. The second that Kyle and Sharlynn arrived with new recruits, Dean arranged for them to be taken to guest rooms to rest and ordered them to come for the banquet at night. When the time came for the banquet, Kyle and Dean were astonished by the type of song being playe
Sharlynn's POV" Aliyah, calm down!" I said when she kept glaring at me with this vicious look in her eyes." It's so tiresome to talk to your brothers. You've always known how hard it is for me to do that right? But today, your brother Jamie said something interesting about you being saddled with the duty to save one of the three families. Oh and he told me so many things, like he thinks they all died and no one was survived.At first, I thought. Maybe none of them were good enough to be saved but I'm trying to get milk from the fridge so that I can also thank you for your hospitality and there you are having sex with the same guy I thought you said wasn't good enough."" Aliyah wait," I said but she wouldn't let me speak, " just shut up! You could've chosen to save Tom, why didn't you? You know that I was carrying his child yet you did nothing to help him!" She lashed out at me and I sighed knowing that Jamie was responsible for this. He was
Sharlynn's POV " What is it? Why are you looking at me like that?" He asked as he smiled at me. Instantly I felt guilty because I knew he must've been upset or outraged at me for what I did to him. " Lynn...are you... okay?" He asked with a nervous smile and I gulped. " Is this real?" I asked instead as I got up from my bed. His eyes followed my movement the entire time. " I don't know, I've been watching you sleep as I always do since forever. This is the first time that you've actually woken up and said something to me." He said. " What is going on?" I asked but he seemed every bit as confused as I was. " Hey, you're starting to creep me out. Stop looking at me like that." He said and I covered my face with my palms. " Oh... wait. I think I get it, it's all coming back now." He said, his voice sounded low and kind of dull so I looked at him, wondering why his voice was like that. " She made you
Sharlynn's POV " I'm tired Lynn. There's nothing here." Dean said as he sat down looking dejected while scanning through all the things we had checked in his grand mother's room. " You can't give up Dean, let's keep looking. Maybe it's not even in her room!" I said still trying to seem enthusiastic even though I was already tired as well. " I'm sure she died with the spell, besides even if we see the spell how do we know if there is a way to undo it huh?" He asked and I glared at him. " This is your Luna AND your child we're talking about here. At least have some faith." I said and teleported both of us into Kyle's room. " Fuck no! I'm not doing this!" Dean said when he realized where we were. " Whatever emotions are going through your head just shut it out. You're here to find a way to help your family - the one you now have." I said and immediately went through Kyle's drawer. " Was it that
Sharlynn's POV I got to the pack and was told to spend the night at the Alpha quarters because Dean had gotten tired of waiting for me so he went to bed. " I'm sorry, I don't follow!" I said in protest. " I'm sorry, he had a rethink. He said you should rest here tonight and you two will talk in the morning. He also asked me to beg you with this." The elder man who has broke the terrible news about Dean not being available said. " A daisy? Ugh! That's so last year. This doesn't work on me anymore! I'm going home." I grumbled but the man just watched me without saying a word but I knew that in his heart he was probably judging me, not like I cared anyway. " Fine... Where am I to sleep?" I asked and he said, " in the cabin next to the late Alpha's cabin." " But that particularly cabin is creepy" " So creepy" Allen confirmed. " See?" I said as I gestured at Allen who just smiled sheepishly and left me ther
Sharlynn's POVLater that night, I took Aliyah to my house because my mom called and said that they had gone home and were escorted by some of Dean's men.I was a little skeptical about Aliyah coming with us but she had no where else to go and it seemed like my obligation to take care of her." Hey Lynn!" Freddie said excitedly before he ran off to go meet my dad no doubt. I knew that I would have a lot of explaining to do when we got there but... I just couldn't lie to anyone else." Mom, Dad, I brought a friend." I said as I entered the house and pulled a very reluctant Aliyah inside." Really who did you-" my mom was saying but stopped immediately she saw Aliyah." Oh my God... You're alive!" She said and I smiled when I saw how shocked she was that Aliyah was actually not dead. I remembered how she told me I was crazy and how I vowed to prove to her that vampires really did exist. Maybe I didn't really do that or
I followed Aliyah back to the Saunders residence where some other vampires were waiting for her outside." Umm?"" They're from some weird association of vampires, they told me that Tom and everyone in the Saunders family are dead and that they've come to collect everything that belongs to them!" She said with teary eyes and I was honestly astonished at how sad she sounded because she heard of Tom's death." Why did you wait till we got here for you to say so? We could've talked about it on the way Aliyah." I said as I comforted her." And how did you know I was in the wolves' pack?" I asked." My child...she called sensed you. You must've meant a lot to Tom or something..." She said as she held her stomach." It - it's a girl?" I asked and she smiled sadly as she said." seems she'll never see her father."I felt so evil, I should've chosen Tom! If not for anything at least for Aliyah's sake, I never even
Sharlynn's POVMy hands started to shake as I opened the letter and read what was written in it.******"Dear Sharlette, I'm not even going to bother asking how you're feeling because I know it must be tough having to be the one who judges us three stubborn-goat-headed families. I'm writing my one thousand and fifty fourth letter to you because I've missed you so much during the last week.I know it may be hard for you right now but I think I have a solution to your problem. Reyna once told me the reason you had three mates was because you had three personas, each of them picked one of us. She said she chose me because I was wild and reckless like her while you chose Darren because you were both ordinary or something like that.I think you chose Darren because, he was indeed like you. Before Darren became a vampire, he was very lanky and was often bullied pretty much like you must've been - no doubt. And he lived a very poor life becaus
Sharlynn's POVI fell to the ground when Veilah told me, " So here's what I can do for you. I will allow you choose one family to save because I'm not supposed to dwell in this domain for long which means I'm about to go back to the spirit world where my defaulters will face all they deserve in about two minutes!"" Wait what? Two minutes?" I asked, alarmed that we had so little time left and she expected me to come up with a decision just like that!I had tried to think things over should in case Veilah was feeling merciful and she asked me to add another family to save I would have an answer to give her. I wasn't expecting her to tell me to save just one family, this was too much for me to bare.Even though each of the families had at one point in time, offended me I still couldn't just say I don't want them in my life. They all made efforts to work together to save me from Aveera, they've all been helpful to me at one point in time.
