.JOE.

"Mom, I am completely fine." I groaned, shoving my face deep inside the pillow. She won't stop trying to coop me like a baby and it was getting annoying.

"But-"

"Mom." I cut her off as I raised my head. "I'm fine. I just need some rest." I added, blowing the strand of hair off my face.

She gave me a once over look before sighing. "If that is what you want. I am off. I need to get more groceries from the store." She said and I nodded. I watched her walk out of the room and I was once again met with the quietness of the house.

After napping for a few minutes, I decided to check if Alec was back. Might as well play some games.

Knocking at the door, I could hear the shuffling of someone's feet and my brows creased. I knocked again. The door knob twisted and an image came into sight. Our eyes locked and I do not know if it was only me but this girl's eyes seemed to carry more than I could understand. Her mouth opened slightly and I followed the action, my throat bobbing in the proces

    .ALERIX. I could not stop looking at him. He... He was my mate. I have found my mate after all these years. I thought I was not going to find him. I thought I was part of those whose mates had died at a young age but who knew he would be hiding among the humans. "Does your brother know you are here?" Joe asked, glancing at me. We were seated in the movie theater. Don't ask me how I got to know he had bought a ticket for this. Alec kept warning me to stay away from him but how could I stay away from him when all I saw in those orbs of his was pain and fear. They were so gloomy that it thorned my heart and I could feel breaking for it. Was this how it felt to be mated? Feeling another's pain. My eyes trailed down to his hands that gripped the edge of the seat. How cold they were when I shook them. I was tempted to touch them but I held myself back. "Does he need to know? Are you going to tell him?" I whispered, looking into his eyes which was the only thing I could see in the dark

    .JOE. I narrowed my eyes at Alerix. The way she conversed with those girls with her sweet smile and her eyes glinting with joy had me in a chokehold. I have never seen a girl with so much freedom and no care about the world. The girls she was speaking with waved her goodbye and she turned around, that smile not diminishing for a bit. She seemed to have seen me because her smile widened further and she walked towards me. I did not know what had me rooted to the spot but I watched her come towards me. "Hi." She greeted, her eyes glinting with a happy spark. Why was she happy to see me? Scratch that, why would she be happy to see me? "Hello." Came my bored reply. "I guess you slept well?" She said, taking a step closer to me. I gawked at her face like an eagle. She blinked her round eyes, her lashes fluttering. "Anything on my face?" She asked, biting her cheeks internally. "N-No, just that we are too close. Step back." I said, my eyes unblinking. She tilted her head to the side

    .ALERIX."Do you believe in soulmates?" I asked him, hoping I would hear something that would make my wolf happy only to hear his cold answer."No, I don't."I did not miss the way he was so concerned about Lestiana. I did not miss the trembling of his hands or the ticking of a muscle in his jaw or the way he itched to hold her in his arms. Even though I have only been with him for a short while, I knew what most of his movements meant.I hate to admit it but he has never looked at me the way he looked at Elristeya's friend. I was seated inside the place where he worked today. My eyes followed each and every one of his movements. He looked clumsy and jittery. My heart broke over and over again at the sight. He was still totally worried about her. I managed to pull up a light smile when he noticed me and began to walk towards me. His eyes were fixed on me as he stood before me. "What are you doing here?" He asked, using the same emotionless tone he has been using since we met. I smil

    .ALEC."I think it is high time you told Joe about us," Hunter said, making my brows crease under the cold shower. I turned off the water, wiping the remnants off my face as I stood before the mirror hung over the wall.My eyes changed color and I was staring face to face with Hunter through my eyes. "What did you say?" I asked him."You heard me right. Tell him the truth about us. Don't let him find out the hard way. Maria has told your parents that you were mated. No doubt she would have known that it is Elris. We need to be a step ahead." He added.I thought about it for some seconds before slowly nodding my head. Picking up the towel from where it was hung, I wiped my face. Maybe after school today, I will tell him about it but with the way things have been going on in his life right now, I was really wary of telling him more things. He was caught between loving someone and letting her go.Lestiana knew there was no way for them. For a fraction of second, I thought about it. What

    .ELRISTEYA.I entered the grocery store with the list of things I was to buy which my mom gave me. For the first time in months, she decided to send me to the grocery store. Not like I do not go but I like I once said, my mother did not like being in her way when it comes to things in her kitchen. It was like a sacred place to her. No sin must be committed or her spatula will teach you a lesson. And not to add, after learning that Alerix could cook, I was moved to return back to hone my cooking skills. A shy smile appeared on my lips as the vivid imagination of Alec and I cooking in the kitchen played in my mind.I began to pick the things according to the list. After I was done, I made my way to the counter but I was still checking to see if I was done with the list when I bumped into someone. I barely looked up to the person and the person disappeared from my sight like a flash. I stood, shocked and confused. Didn't I just bump into someone?With furrowed brows, I walked to the coun

    .ELRISTEYA.It was the weekend and it was raining. I was the only one left at home. Joe had insisted that he went to work and my parents... Well, let's just say they went on their usual visit to my uncle's place even though it seemed fishy at times, what can I say?I have spent my morning completing my assignment and getting them ready to submit the following Monday. Alec's messages kept topping each other at every beep and I did not want to be distracted. I reached over and retrieved my phone with an exasperated sigh, it rang as if on cue, and 'boo bear' shone brightly on my screen. It was the nickname I had given him but he did not know. He had saved mine as 'Little Moon'. I have been dying to know why he chose something so different from the nicknames I know men call their women in novels but I have not gotten the chance to.I glided over the green button and placed the phone close to my ears. "Hello,""Come over." He said immediately. My brows creased. "What if I don't want to?"

    .ELRISTEYA.I stared at him, waiting for it. I wanted him to say just one thing. That one word I have been expecting him to acknowledge me as. My brow ticked as I pulled my lips in, swallowing hard. Everything was new to me but still... I needed him to call me that. I waited for him to speak. He seemed to be contemplating telling me. Why?"The thing is..." He gulped hard, his Adam's apple bobbing in the process. "You need to listen to me, okay?" His extended hands trembled a bit. I gave him a curt nod."You... You..." He kept hesitating. Beads of sweat broke out on his forehead. His eyes kept twitching and he kept blinking. "You are my mate." He said, staring at me like I was going to suddenly grow a beard and fly in the air.I said nothing instead and watched him. His mate. He might not know this but I had once heard him call me that in his sleep. I was confused as to why he would call me that but after meeting his mother the other day, I knew I had to fight for my place with Alec."

    .ALEC.Elristeya’s lips hung open as she stared at me. She blinked, her dark lashes mashing together in the process, and both shock and surprise flashed through her face.“Are you for real?” She asked, her voice barely making it out without increasing its volume.“Yes,” I replied.She let out a snort before looking away. “You…” She turned a ridiculous look back at me. “You want me to follow back to your pack?” She asked.I nodded again. I might have looked like a fool but yes, I just asked Elris to follow to my pack. I felt like I needed to take her back since I already told her about who she was and maybe it was out of excitement, I could not say.Maybe I needed her to follow me so that I might have a reason to leave. Mariander has not been disturbing these days which was strange and Alerix once told me they discussed so I needed to discuss some things with them too.“Alec, you… Are you sure you want to do this now?” She asked again. “Because the last time I checked, you and your par

    Everyone was shocked. Who had called for a party in the pack?People began to troop in one by one. Hadn't the recent crowning been done here? They got themselves busy with free drinks and food. Never has it been in history that parties as lavish as this one have been held back to back. The pack members were well aware of just how managing the Alpha and Luna had been. Their fist was so tight. Alec’s parents walked down the stairs, confusion etched on their faces. Maria walked alongside them, baffled as well. No one had the power to do it except the Alpha and Luna, the crowned Luna, who cannot be the one behind this because she was in prison, and the acting Alpha… who in this case is fighting for his life in the hospital.“What is happening?” Alec’s mother turned to her husband as she gave him a questioning look. The man shrugged. “I’m not aware of anything.”They both turned to Maria but as they saw the expression on her face, they did not bother to ask her because the answer was etc

    .ELRISTEYA.I did not know how I reached my father’s house. All I could remember was Alec yelling after me and entering a cab then rushing into the house.I headed straight into my mother’s room, my heart beating erratically in my chest. I ignored the feeling of lifelessness that surrounded the house as I marched up the stairs. Pushing open the door, I glanced around the room and searched for my mother. I did not see any sign of her. I went down to the kitchen and yet she was not there. I searched Joe’s room before going into mine and then coming out, she was not in any of them.Where was my mother? Fear crept into my heart at the possible thought of what might have happened to her twinkled in my head. At this point, I was no longer afraid of the news of death. In fact, I was starting to brace myself.“Mom!” I called out and went back into her room. My eyes swerved to the bathroom and I instantly rushed over and opened the door.There she lay in the bathing tub, looking so numb. I ran

    .ELRISTEYA.Every head turned to me, gasps ringing out from one corner to the other in waves. I looked forward at Alec and especially fixated my gaze on Maria who did not seem only shocked that I was there but also dumbfounded. I noticed her fake lashes flutter slightly. People began to pave the way for me as I walked towards them. I avoided looking at Alec because I did not want to know the kind of expression that would be on his face. Reaching the podium, I stopped and met his mother’s angry stare.“Why would you willingly accept what is not yours, Mariander?” I asked, dragging my gaze away from his mother and perching it on her. She blinked, her mouth opening to speak but before she could, I cut in. “This crown is mine, considering I am mated to Alec, and since he is the Alpha then I should be the Luna. Isn't that right, Alec?” I asked, glancing at him and he blinked twice before nodding in agreement.I faced his mother and inclined my head to the side, giving her an expectant look

    .ALEC.I stared at the well-ironed tuxedo that was hung before me and I could not help the feeling of dread that filled my stomach. I was standing before the mirror with a towel wrapped around my waist. My father had refused that I leave the pack till I was installed as the acting Alpha and Mariander, the crowned Luna. Anger and pure fury clashed against each other in my heart and pumped into my veins.The urge the punch the mirror heightened. I stepped away instead and swiped everything on my desk away, the glasses clattering on the ground, making a noise. My chest heaved with heavy breaths as I stared at the shattered glasses. Someone rushed in and a scream rang out. I looked up to see my mother glaring daggers at me and I scoffed, turning away from her.“What is it?” I bit out, trailing the tuxedo with my fingers.“You should have gotten ready. The guests are arriving and you should be the one welcoming them and not your father.” She hissed. I caught the sight of her hands on her w

    .ALEC.As I gently lay Elris on the bed, my phone beeped and I knew who it was but I did not bother to pick it. I did not want to, at least not at this point. I was needed here. I watched Elris for a few seconds, waiting to see if she would wake or not. When she did not, I walked out of her room, closing the door gently to prevent her from waking up.I walked down the stairs, her mother’s chatter filled the air. Joe had walked out of the ward, leaving Elris and his mother. I was worried about him but with Alerix with him, I knew she would not let him hurt himself so I was a little bit relaxed.I went to meet his mother who kept talking to her. The death of her husband affected her to the extent that her head was now upside down. All she needs is just a deep sleep and she would be normal again, feeling the agony of her losing him.She looked at me and rose to her feet. “Please, take care of my children.” She said and my eyes narrowed at her. I did not understand what she meant by that

    .ELRISTEYA.I jolted out of the haze I was in and scrambled down the bed. With wide eyes, I stared at Alerix who was soaked in sweat and my heart dropped to my stomach at the fear of what she had just said. I ignored the itching on my neck.Joe was in an accident?“Where is he?” I asked, glancing around for the pair of my sandals and I found them at the corner. “He is admitted to the hospital. He is currently unconscious.” She said breathlessly. I wanted to ask her how she knew about it but I knew it was not the time to ask that so I rushed outside. Dad and Mom must not know that their son was involved in an accident. Alec got into the driver’s seat as I did also to the passenger’s seat. Alerix settled into the back seat, and without asking if we were ready or not, he ignited the car’s engine and hit the road.A few minutes later, we stopped before a hospital building and rushed down. We headed inside and Alec took the initiative to ask the nurses at the desk where he was being admit

    .ALEC.Alerix was yet to come back and Joe’s phone was unreachable. I paced to and fro as several thoughts lingered in my mind. She had hurried out of the house and I could not even ask her what was wrong. She also left her phone at home.Gosh, I was so worried about her.“Lestiana has left the city already, Alec,” Elristeya said, staring down at her fidgety fingers. No wonder she has been quiet since morning. I did not know how to console her. This was how it was going to end, I already knew since the beginning. I let out a sigh and sat close to her. “We were not even able to talk out our differences yet.” She added.I pursed my lips, contemplating the next words I was going to say. “Little Moon,” I drew her closer to her and she placed her head on my chest. “Sometimes, some issues should be left undiscussed till you get to a particular stage of maturity where they can be addressed without much arguments and with more understanding.”“But what is the guarantee that I'd meet her again

    .LESTIANA.I was finally leaving this city. I watched how my secretary moved around to do the necessary things and what did I do? I stood right on spot, feeling numb from crying through out the night. I remember what my mother had told me she video called me this morning.“Les, make sure you hide those dark eye bags. You know your father don't like seeing them.” She said, not even caring to look at me with concern. I sniffed in and nodded like the princess I was. Like the princess who could not be rebellious. Like the princess who would be told to jump and she would not ask how high it was. Like a princess who hated the title but still has to act according to it.“Yes, mother.” I swallowed hard. I stared at my mother who was quite busy arranging some files and I wanted so much to bear my heart to her. I just wanted to tell how I was feeling and why I did not want to leave this city but before I could say anything, the call got disconnected and there was no even any goodbye. I never go

How could she do that to me? I thought we were already beginning to trust each other and she could tell me everything. My first curled as I tried not to let the rage engulf me but I could not tamp the feeling of distrust. How could she not tell me that?She was keeping a lot to herself and I did not like it one bit. I was even coming off what I was. She knew how strained the relationship between my parents and me was. She knew everything about it and she hid this from me. She let out some inaudible words as she rolled to the other side of the bed. Maybe I should go for a run, I needed that. I needed to clear the fog in my head before I table this matter before her because I knew if I were to do it now, more damage would be done than repair so I turned on my heels and walked outside, the midnight air slashing
