ALEXIS' POV

As 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.

    After lunch, I help tuck grandma Rivera to her bed after she starts complaining of a headache. After helping her lay on the bed, I arrange the pillows under her head and gently spread the blankets over her body. "That boy will make a great mate." She tells me as I continue to fix her beddings, pretending as if I do not hear any of the words she says. At this point, Donovan is messing with my head. One second, he is a total asshole and the next second, he is the perfect gentleman. One second, I am completely sure he will reject me as his mate, the next second, I do not know whether there is really any future for the two of us if any of this is just a mirage. I give grandma Rivera a small gentle kiss on her forehead and she smiles at me. I smile back at her."Excuse me a moment while I escort him out." I turn to leave but grandma Rivera holds me back by the wrist and I turn my head to look at her again."In order to fulfil your destiny, you have to let it flow. You cannot change what

    ALEXIS' POVToday, unlike other days that I'd had to tell the boys to look away while I dress before the do so...it not do so at all, I did not take any permission from them before going ahead to slip out of my shirt. Immediately, the boys look away even without being told.I smirk to myself in discreet and I recall grandma Rivera's words that I had encouraged me to take this initiative in the first place.If you can't beat them, join them.I guess the psychology played out well for me after all.After we all get changed into our issues the boys leave without me and I follow them from behind. If I am being honest, as much as it hurts that they treat me like an outcast in the team, at the same time, I do not really care that they don't carry me along at all. If that is the price I have to pay to experience a lifelong passion and dream, then so be it. I don't regret a thing.We finally get to the pitch and my eyes scan the empty bench where Lori and her minions used to sit and cheer at

    ALEXIS' POV I feel more than happy, although in discreet, when I find out that Freeda had lost her phone last night.That would mean just one thing...Freeda's long annoying phone calls with her boyfriends would come to a halt. For now.Freeda kept sulking for the rest of the day and a few times, I would stop over by her counter to tell her everything would be okay while deep inside, I did a dance of joy. Even though I feel a little guilty for being so hypocritical, at least I don't have to overwork myself, covering up for her anymore. "Hey, Alex." Freeda walks up to my own counter, dragging her feet lazily behind her."What's up?" I raise my eyes to look at her as she pushes a small list of order in front of me. "Two shots of americano, a shot of espresso. Three vegetable sandwiches and a strawberry pie. Medium sized.""Right." I answer and she sulks away again, her shoulders slumped and sad. I ignore her dramatics and set to prepare the orders. When I get finished, I arrange them

    ALEXIS' POV"What in the world is going on here!" Ms Bell screams at me and immediately, Paisley steps forwards and opens her mouth to say something but her mother cuts in on time. Why? Does Paisley still not have the human empathy to feel at least sorry for me? Does she only want to add salt to fresh wounds?"Did you do this to the Beta's daughter?" Beta's daughter? I can't believe Ms Bell can go as far as attributing titles to prestigious people just to be on their good sides. I though she was better than all of this. "I...I..." I stammer, not knowing the right words to choose as a reply."You did this, didn't you?" She stares hard and long at me as if I have committed the most hideous act ever."They disrespected me first." I finally defend myseld but Ms Bell snap back in a way that causes my body to jerk in unexpected shock."Disrespect, my foot!"

So, having the same girl come into our house out of the blue is something that can struck anyone dumb."Uh...hello, grandma Rivera." Paisley waves meekly at her and the old woman only stares on in disbelief. Her eyes travel between me and Paisley and I offer her a reassuring smile in return and an eye language that communicated that all is fine."Excuse me, grandma. Paisley is here to help me with something important." I jump in to rescue the day, pulling Paisley by the hand and heading to my bedroom.When we get to my bedroom, Paisley spends a minute scanning my small old bedroom and insecurity takes over me instantly just like it was the day Donovan had come in too.

There is literally nothing close to suitable that I can wear to the party. I am almost thinking of giving up when Paisley comes up with another idea."Why don't we try this mini dress I bought from the market today?""No. That is not even an option, Paisley." I shake my head in objection. The last thing I want to do is lend someone else's dress to attend a party I am not even sure I would be attending in the first place."Fine. Let's make a deal." Paisley suggests and I give her a go-ahead look. "Since it is a new dress that I haven't worn yet, I could sell it to you and voila...it's all yours. You don't have to return them to me again."I give her a long calculating look, my head scanning through the amount I have saved up in my savings. "How much would it cost me?"

    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."

    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 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
