ALEXIS POVThe next few days in school were like one hell of a week for me. Everyone were keep a long distance with me, while whispering and pointing accusing fingers at me, behind my back. Although it was a good thing that Lori and her friends avoided me for the rest of the week, I couldn't help but feel bad over her bandaged nose which I had heard had broken from the impact of my fist on her face. Although it was quite funny seeing her a little disfigured, I strained myself a couple of times from laughing whenever she would stare at me with so much hate under her heavily bandaged nose. One thing that killed me most was the fact that Damien began to stare at me with so much distaste and irritation, like I was the filthiest thing he had ever come across. It did hurt me more than ever. But asides that, I had been serving my detention pretty well as the Principal had shown me mercy this time around, even when it was her daughter I had assaulted. Next time, she had warned, I would be
ALEXIS' POVMy table is literally the worst mess. It has been a few days ago since Mrs Theodora had given us the group project and I had been so busy with work at Macy's to even as little as get started on the assignment. Now, it is just two days away to submission and I have not had even a paragraph of the essay done. And asking my project partner to come help me is something I know I would never do. Not even in the next life. He literally hates me now and I wouldn't like to go any closer to provoke him. Plus, he didn't even try to have the empathy to ask me about the project. He had literally abandoned the entire thing on my head. And now, I am almost choking on it. I cringe visibly as my eyes take in the clutters on my desk. There are stationary and pieces of paper lying everywhere. There is also a half eaten plate of caeser salad on the table and a half drunk mug of coffee that has spilled a little on the surface of my desk. I delegate inwardly between cleaning my space or ignor
ALEXIS' POVI find it difficult to give my complete attention and concentrate on the note I am making with the way I can feel Donovan's gaze on me, piercing down the nape of my neck and how close we are sitting now. He is currently seated on the chair I was on a few minutes ago while I have moved my notebooks and stationary with me to the bed where I am now working from, lying on my stomach. It is annoying how since he has gotten here all he has done is stay seated majestically like an Alpha that he is while watching me do the entire work all by myself without raising as little as a finger to help.And to think the bloody liar insisted just a while ago that he is here because it is his responsibility to help as my project partner. And what was that when he also mentioned about how I am going to be his luna too?Does he enjoy watching me get confused over his true intentions towards me?"If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be; and if all else remained, a
DONOVAN'S POVBy the time Alexis and I are done with the project, it is around nine at night. When I make to take my leave, she insists on escorting me out. "Don't worry. You take some rest." I try to stop her while doing my best to stop my eyes from cradling the perfect shape of her body. If anyone had told me Alexis Micah, the nerdy loud-mouth of RedWood academy, would be owning thick thighs and a full ass on wide hips behind those thick sweatshirts and sweatpants she always wears, I would have called them a liar straight away.I immediately reflect on the words of Aurora the other day and how she had insisted Alexis ass was the best in the entire school. She wasn't telling lies in any way. The first day seeing her full figure in the dressing room was the biggest shock of my life.And now, that she is standing right across me this moment in a pair of shorts and a flimsy singlet, I confirm that my eyes never deceived me for a second."I'm fine, Donovan. Let me walk you out." She mai
DONOVAN'S POVBy the time I finally arrive home, it is already late. The guards salute me as I walk past the hallway and when I finally enter my room, I collapse on the bed with a tired feel. I sigh as my mind refuses to stop pondering over my last conversation with Alexis. Even though she had not mentioned getting into a fuss with the so-called Ian before, I feel uneasy about the way she had spoken about him. It was as if speaking about him brought back memories she didn't want to think of. I shut my eyes briefly and sigh again as I caution myself to stop overtinking things and jumping into conclusions. Who knows, maybe he is just a big bully of a brother and she is just fed up with his bad habits?I drag my weight off the bed again and undressed before walking to my ensuite bathroom where I take a quick warm shower. All the while I am showering, my thought is still on Alexis. The image of her half clad self back in the dressing room comes to my mind as I wash scented soap off my b
ALEXIS' POVMrs Theodora's class is the first for the day and one after the other, everyone of us in the class presents our project. When it is my turn, I have shaky feets as I stand in front of the class to make my presentation. My eyes first meets Aurora who gives me a big thumbs up and then next to Donovan who offers me a small smile that I return and with a deep breathe, I assure myself that I can do this. I will not be a laughing stock like I have always be.After the presentation, Aurora gives me another thumbs up as I walk back to my seat."How was it?" I whisper to her as soon as my butt kiss the seats."You did amazing." She is all smiles as she tells me but I still don't believe her. She might just be trying to make me feel better because I am her friend. Maybe I did the worse presentation for today. Perhaps everyone else is pointing at me from the back. Laughing at me. Inwardly, I start to wish for the grounds to open up and swallow me straight away.A few minutes later,
DONOVAN'S POV"Because when beggars try to dine on the same table with princesses, they get hurt. Just like the way I will keep hurting you if you keep trying to dining and stealing from me."Lori's words that follow the slap she gave Alexis causes me to close my distance towards the girls. The boys and I had been walking down the hallway to see a group of students gathered, watching a scenario and when we had tried to see what it was that had caught their interest, we had saw it was Lori and her gang bullying Alexis. Her warnings from yesterday had repeated itself in my head and I blame myself for not protecting Alexis from her enough."She is not a begger, Lori. Stop it already." I gently push Alexis behind me and stand in front of her, blocking her from Lori who looks more than pissed that I am protecting her.Lori folds her arms over her bosom and stares at me straight in the eyes."Great. So, she's what? Your mate? Your luna?"I sigh and bit my lip. "You better stop saying shit,
ALEXIS' POVAs soon as I get to work, Ms Bell hurries me back towards the door and a frown appears on my forehead as confusion takes over me."Go. Go. Go. You have to take a break." She says as she shoves me out of the door but I halt to my feet, refusing to budge anymore. I purse my lips and look at her in utmost oblivion and surprise."Why should I take a break." "Because I said so." She lifts a brow at me."Are you firing me, Ms Bell?" I ask and a short moment or realization crosses her eyes followed by a small laugh as she shakes her head at me. "No. Not at all. Come on, Alex. What are you saying?" She continues to laugh. "I am not firing you, girl."Even though I feel a bit of relief now that the woman is not firing me like I feared she was, the frown on my face doesn't wear off. I am still taken aback by the idea that Ms Bell wants me to take a rest. The Ms Bell I know wouldn't care less if I turn out to become a chronic workaholic."Then, why are you asking me out when I am j
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
