ALEXIS’ POVThe loud shrill of my alarm clock jolts me awake and I groan lowly and sink deeper into the warm sheets. It is morning again and we have to continue the circle of life. And I am no exception.I roll my weight off the bed until I land from the bed to the bare floors with a plod. My back aches a little from the fall, causing me to awake fully. I groan again and lazilly pull myself out of the floors and into the bathroom where I take a quick shower and brush my teeth.I return back to the room a few minutes later and change into a pair of sweatshirt and baggy jeans. I can count how many times i have repeated this clothes this term in school. I am sure at this stage, almost everyone in school can identify me with my repeated clothes by now.I scamper out of my room to our tiny congested kitchen to make breakfast. Other days, grandma Rivera would be the one to fix me breakfast but yesterday, she had gone to visit her close friend in the west side of the fortress and would be c
ALEXIS' POVHe keeps staring at the way I have my head tilted during the ride and I consciously keep my face away from him. How could I think it wouldn't matter if he saw my face or not? He has been my crush for years. This is definitely going to be a very embarrassing moment for me.My tension heightens when he stops the car by the side of the road in a sudden halt."Look at me, Alex." His tone is commanding and serious but I do not head to his words. I stare out of the window instead."I command you to turn around me face me, Alexis Micah. It is an order from your Alpha."I set my jaw and swallow deeply. I cannot belive he would be exploiting his powers the way carelsssly just to get me to do the things he wants.With a sharp deep breathe, I slowly turn my head to face him but I still keep my face lowered. I flinch a little when his hands reach for my face to spread the curtains of my hair apart. His hands are warm and sends electrifying feelings down my entire body.His eyes and
ALEXIS' POVI am beyond surprised when Donovan turns up in front of Aurora's parents house and with the way he speaks informally with the old couples, it is obvious he has known them for quite sometime now."Come, come, honey." Mrs Zack brings me closer to her bosom in a pamper child-like manner. "I'm sorry about what happened to you. You'll be safe with us till your grand mother returns."I squint my eyes in puzzle at Donovan who stands with a confident poise, watching us. His hands tucked deep into his pocket.What could he have possibly told them?"Thank you, Mr and Mrs Zack." He thanks the couple with a curt bow of his head. "I shall be taking my leave now.""Alright, son." Mr Zack gives him a friendly pat on the back and this time, I am more than a hundred percent sure they are pretty close. No one can come up close to an Alpha this way, talk more of trying to touch him in any way. "Thank you for bringing her to us. Like I have always said, you will do best as the Alpha of our t
ALEXIS' POV"Tell me about your bullyings. How much worse or less has it gotten this recent week?" Kendra asks me as I discreetly twist my nose at the strong repelling scent of flowers and cinnamon in her office. They smell too strong and over-bearing and I am sure that like every other day, I am going to walk out of this place feeling nauseous."I don't get bullied, Kendra. I get disrespected by rich elite kids." I feel as though telling others I get bullied is a wound to my pride. I am not a child to get bullied every single time.The young woman in her late twenties adjust her cat-eyed spectacles and watches me intently. Her dark purple is as bold as always."What if the difference between getting bullied and getting disrespected, Alex?" She asks me and I give her a shrug of my shoulders."I don't know. But I do know that my case is not bullying but disrespect." "You are a smart girl, Alex. And a straight A student at that. You should know better than lying to yourself or making a
ALEXIS' POVAs I walk closer towards the school field, I feel a sudden feeling of anxiety wash through me. The thought of Donovan clouds my mind. I have done my best to avoid him today and now, I fear I might run into him in the pitch. There is no doubt he would be there. He is the captain of the school team.I breathe a shaky breath through my mouth as I close the distance between myself and the pitch as I give silent prayers to the gods to save me from coming across him again. As my feet finally touch the edge of the pitch, the first sight I see is...Him.Hot and gorgeous and sexy in those yellow and white Jersey. His biceps and hard lines of his abs are tight against his wet shirt and the wet strands of his jet black hairs are gorgeous. I can almost feel a smile appearing on my lips and my face turning tomato red from blushing until it hit me.Squared straight on the face, knocking sense off my head and sending me flying to the bare grasses of the pitch. It takes me a few second
DONOVAN'S POVI find it hard to concentrate throughout the rest of the training. I have never felt defeated in my entire life. Everyone else in the team have been staring at me as if they feel pity for me. Whispering behind my back. I am sure by now, almost everyone in Redwood academy knows about what happened at the pitch. I almost laugh a pained laugh. I am the Alpha. I will be crowned the lycan King in a few months from now. Everyone should respect me. Fear me. Honour me.Not look at me me those pitying eyes. I am not a pathetic being. I can never be pathetic. I would rather die than appear pathetic even in the face of battles and wars.Again, I remind myself that this is all Alexis' fault. She did this on purpose to humiliate me.I crack my knuckles at the thought as I sit in the dressing room. I cannot believe she is such an ungrateful brat. After everything I have done for her, this is how I get repaid. At this point, I can see clearly the reason everyone else spites her.She
ALEXIS' POVI stretch with the rest of the girls as we warm up for our match. Our match isn't as official as the one in Redwood team. And neither is our field as greenery and aesthetic as theirs.We only play for fun here in the slums of Redwood and our pitch is wide and sandy. But we never complain. We have grown to love it. It is what makes us who we are."I have a suggestion, guys?" Laila, a short pixie haired girl says. "What about we let our wolves out before the match start. That way, we can put ourselves in high spirit."The rest of the girls squeal excitedly in support of Laila except me. Because I know that I can not be able to shift with the girls. Grandma Rivera has made me promise never to let the moment cause me to make the biggest mistake of my life.The girls begin to run into the woods now, readying to shift into their wolve selves. "Come on, Alex." Aurora pulls me along by the arm but I refuse to budge and I stand rooted to my spot. "No. I...I can't." My face falls a
ALEXIS' POVAt the end of the match, my team scores a 3-2 goal against Aurora's team. I admit that at first, I was a little afraid of the fact that I would be going against someone as good as Aurora. When it comes to football, Aurora and I are bulls horn against each other. I would say, my team winning today would be sheer luck. Aurora's speed and wits on the pitch can never be compared to mine.Or maybe I am good enough and it just just my imposter syndrome kicking in."See you in school tommorw, sissy." Aurora pulls me in a quick hug, her body smelling of sweat and sands now."Yea. Stay safe, okay?" I tell her and wave to the other girls. I feel a little jealous that they are all going the same way while I am the only one who is heading my way. Aurora blows me a final kiss and finally leaves with the girls. I turn my back against them and walk the path to my own house too. It is quite dark now but I do not fear. I have always walked this path in light and darkness and I am too used
VERA'S POVFor years, I have kept watch over him. I have nurtured him and treated him. Even though he didn't stir, I did not give up yet. This is not his end. He is not destined to die this way.It has been six years now and I have kept his body from decaying. No one knows he is in my possession either and I do not intend to disclose to anyone that I have him with me…yet. Today, after I return from the castle where the Alpha and Luna's daughter; Abbey, just celebrated her one year birthday, I head straight to my cavern to be greeted by the greatest surprise of my life.He is standing by the mouth of the cavern, looking lost and forlorn. He stares at me as I take a step closer to him and he moves a few steps away again when he sees that I have gotten closer to him."Who…are you and what am I doing here?" He asks, staring suspiciously at me. "Can you remember your name?" I ignore his question and ask him mine instead. At first, he looks dazed by my question and keeps looking at me as
ALEXIS' POVFIVE YEARS LATERI sit in the garden, watching from a distance as Randall plays with the butterflies, jumping and throwing himself to the grass excitedly. His pure white furs gleam beautifully under the sunlight. As I watch him play, I rub a hand softly over the large bulge on my belly. I am in my third trimester of pregnancy and I am more than eager to see the second product of me and Donovan's love. With my eyes still on my son playing in the field, I get a flashback of Randall and I smile at his memory. The loyal friend who had lost his life trying to protect his best friend. Trying to protect the girl he loved and who never reciprocated his affection. Sometimes, I hate that life was unfair to him and he had gotten what he did not deserve. Other times like now, I imagine him enjoying eternal bliss in paradise like he deserves. At least, he never has to experience the chaos of this world ever again. Donovan and I had chosen to name our son after him to honor him and pre
ALEXIS' POV"With the power vested on us by the mercy of the gods, we hereby declare and crown Donovan Alken and Alexis Micah as Alpha and Luna of Redwood pack and lycan rulers of Wolfville."Donovan takes my hand gently as we bow together and the crowns are finally placed on our heads. The crowd goes crazy, whistling and applauding and we straighten our frame again. There is a big smile on my face as I watch everyone celebrate the coronation of Donovan and I. Donovan gently brings me closer to his body and plants a small kiss on my lips. The crowd goes wild again and I laugh and blush at the same time. I wrap my arms around him in a hug, trying my best not to shed tears of joy. If anyone had told me this day would be mine again, I would have called them a liar. But I guess the gods always have their own plans. One of which is my fate to become Donovan's Luna and rule beside him forever. "Congratulations, my queen." Luna Genevieve walks up to me, a broad congratulatory smile on her
ALEXIS' POVMy eyes flicker open as I awake and my eyes observe my surroundings as soon as my eyes are properly opened. The room is large and looks familiar with the physician's ward at Redwood castle. I do not get up and instead, I remain in my lying position on the bed. I do not even think about where I am or how I got here. My mind is completely blank save for the image of a dead Donovan replaying over and over again in my head. I feel dead and emotionless without Donovan by my side. If life was a fairytale story and I had one wish, I would wish that life gives us a second chance and my mate be brought back to me alive. The door gently creaks open and a pair of footsteps walk into the room. I lift my eyes uninteresting to catch a glimpse of whoever is walking in and my entire being pauses as Donovan's face smiles back me. He is dressed in his regalia and he has a small tray of tea and herbs in his grips. His messy hair is styled in a different style, slightly wavy and breathtakin
ALEXIS' POVThe war stops and everyone pauses as they see me walk out of the castle, carrying Donovan and Randall's body on my back. The white mares of my wolf form are smeared with their blood but I did not care. There is nothing I care about anymore. I get on my knees and drop their bodies gently beside me on the ground before shifting back to my human form. The men remain in stiled silence at the sight before them. "Brother! Brother!" Rachel screams in horror and hurries to her brother's body, flinging herself to the ground beside him. She takes his lifeless body into her arm and shakes him vigorously in a lame attempt to wake him up."Randall! Randall, please wake up!" She begins to cry now. I only watch her do so. I cannot cry anymore. I cannot feel anymore. I am too broken, too dead inside to show any emotions anymore. In fact, I feel so empty and dead inside that I could pass on for a walking dead. I died the very moment Donovan died too. "What did they do to you?! What hav
ALEXIS' POVVera is one person who keeps coming up with a lot of surprises everyday. Her air of mystique and creepy personality and the fact that she is hundreds of years old in such a youthful body. Not to forget that she is the one whom the gods had allegedly revealed the prophecy of the white wolf to. And now, it amazes me to find out that she is a healer wolf too. How much cooler can a person be?"For how long have you been pregnant?" She asks me as she tends to my almost fading wound. The crazy pain I had felt on my shoulder is no longer there. Only a tad little bit of the pain is left, all thanks to Vera. Even the wound is barely even there anymore. "Almost a month now." I answer her, refusing to meet with her piercing creepy blue eyes."Were you a maiden when the Alpha marked you?"Her question causes me to get a little uncomfortable and I shift a little. "Yes." I answer regardless. "Then, the child must be his." She says in a quieter tone, more to herself than to me. "I am
DONOVAN'S POVEverywhere is in chaos as the war goes on. Everyone is shifting from man to wolf form and back to human form again. There is bloodshed everywhere. This is what Alpha Crane wants and it is exactly what he is getting. While I fight with my armies against the Corals, I keep my eyes down for the Alpha and his betrayal children but I do not sight any of them. Seeing the way some of the guards are preventing us from venturing into the castle, I conclude that the family of the Alpha are hiding inside the castle.Those fucking cowards. "Aim for the castle!" I howl to my army and they howl back in response. The war continues and as we fight and struggle to find our way into the interiors of the castle my thoughts keep drifting back to Alexis and my heart boils even more in rage at the fact that Alpha Crane had tried to kill her right before my eyes. I will make sure he pays for hurting her. Now, I shift back to my human form and pick a sword from the ground, running behind my
DONOVAN'S POV"Do you think it's wiser to go in now and attack when they are unguarded or would you rather we keep waiting till they're alerted?" Vera asks. She is standing behind me, as tall and elegant as always and with a sword held in her hand. I glance at our troop. Our armies of wolves are gathered beside us, waiting eagerly for my command to attack. Looking back at Vera again, I wonder for the hundredth time why she had agreed to come with me to this rebellious quest, knowing fully well that I could die and my father would kill her for letting that happen. She notices my stare and looks at me with a raised brow."I have mentioned this many times since yesterday but I am going to go ahead and mention this again. I am not doing this for your mate, dear Alpha. I know that you are hard headed and would go ahead to get her yourself anyway. I wouldn't sit back and let you kill yourself. The least I can do is protect your stubborn ass."A small smile subconsciously plays on my lips
ALEXIS' POVI am drowning deep into the water, holding my hands out for someone to help me. Anyone. I sink deeper and deeper and just as my eyes are beginning to shut close, he reaches for my hand and starts to pull me away again. I look into my savior's eyes and his gaze holds mine.Donovan.………My eyes slowly flutter open as I regain consciousness. I am lying on the bare floors of my room and my head aches badly as I try to raise my head from the ground. A flashback of last night rushes through my head and I panic at the thought of Randall being caught trying to help me. Where is he? What if they have done something to him? My panic skyrockets but I console myself again and I remind myself that Randall is the Alpha's son. He wouldn't be so malicious and cruel enough to kill his own son. It is myself that I should be worried about. I doubt that I would be able to get out of this situation alive this time around. I decide to take the risk and try to escape one last time. I might get
