Author's POVTephanie has no idea if she should be excited at the revelation of her parents, affirming that she isn't exactly human. But the look on their faces had her confused. It seem like they had more to say. "Okay." She muttered, urging them on. Her parents exchanged a look, Brenda sighed deciding to continue since Damien was coward enough to chicken out. "Baby, the thing is we hid your actual identity from you all of this years. Because, you made it hard for us to know if you were actually one of us. Also we didn't want to ruin your childhood, since we are never around. Baby, you come from a long line of werewolves."Blinking hard, Tephanie felt a shrill noise in the depth of her ear. "So, you both are werewolves." She said calmly. Damien waved a hand, "listen, honey. We wanted to tell you so bad, but you never gave off any signs and when you were suppose to shift at ten you didn't. We came to this city to get you and your brothers a stable life away from wolf hunters and m
Alessia's POVThe doom day was finally here, the day I get to know if I would be commiting suicide or attempting murder. Whichever way it is, no solution seem to be coming forth. And I am beginning to think of a way to make a run for it. I don't want to be here, I hate it here. "Please smuggle me out of here." I begged my aunt Ingrid while speaking to her on a video call. Aunt Ingrid laughed softly, "can you stop being so dramatic and just go ahead with it. Since Patrick is just as disinterested as you are, it wouldn't work out. Also, it's not like you are holding an engagement party or something. It's just dinner." I mimicked her making a face, "you say just dinner, like that isn't the exact reason you had to run off with your exotic lover." I taunted. "Awwn, someone is jealous." "Can you act sympathetic please." I faked a tear."You aren't exactly acting like someone who needs it." She taunted backI made a face, sobbing for real now. "I hate it here aunt, I don't want to be an
Alessia's POVI thought I looked funny in the yellow dress my mum had me wear, but it's nothing compared to how funny Patrick looked in his yellow suit. What the hell? Not the both of us being a look alike to SpongeBob. I wanted to burst into a fit of laughter and had to hold onto my dress to prevent myself from choking. Allen in his usual crazy self couldn't hold back his laughter and had to run back upstairs to have a fill. I wish I could be him at this point. I managed to say a brief hello to Patrick's parents. They had left a seat for me next to him. I let out a light chortle when I sat down. "Don't you dare laugh." He whispered, holding back himself. "I almost thought you were replicating McDonald's yellow." This time the both of us didn't hold back, laughing like maniacs. "You both can keep up with your jokes after dinner, silly." Ryan joked, staring at us like a proud parent. His words made me remember the situation I was in. My bubble deflated almost immediately. I realiz
Alessia's POVI woke up to the sound of my door being knocked on loudly. Taking my time to open my eyes, I yawned and stretched to my heart content. It's been so long I got to sleep like a baby, my night was blissful. I was about to head to the door with my happy mood before remembering that I have to look sad as much as I can. They need to believe I am heartbroken. Putting on my saddest face, I opened the door. Snorting when it turned out to be just Allen and Cara. This family don't care too much about me. I would have expected to see my mum, Phil and uncle begging me with a platter of food like the one in Cara's hands. Lest I forget, I didn't eat much at dinner last night. I am famished. "Are you really heartbroken or this is just a facade?" Cara asked, carrying the tray dutifully further into the room. I locked the door with the key first before doing a crazy dance that had Allen rolling on the floor with laughter. Cara had a confused look on her face. "Did you both plan this?"
Collin's POV"If you keep calling me out this way, my brother might see me as an enemy." I told Tephanie handing her the smoothie I bought for her. She let out a snort, mouthing a thank you. "He should go fuck himself then, if he can't trust either of us.""Wow, we shouldn't lose our tempers now. Relax please." I cautionedI had received a call Tephanie this morning that she would like for us to see urgently. It was the weekend and I didn't need to bother about going anywhere. I was surprised she reached out to me, Seth has been quite bothered because she hasn't been picking her calls. I sorted myself out of the equation to keep accusations from flying again just like the last time. When she called, I was sitting with mum and Annette. The two of them had told me to meet with her for the sake of sanity. Either ways, I had texted Seth that his girlfriend is with me on the rooftop. The last thing I want is to be in a scuffle with my brother, again. "I am sorry, Collin. I just feel mor
Collin's POVMy head was beginning to spin at the revelation of too many things at once. If I feel exhausted at it, Tephanie definitely looks like she would pass out. Thankfully, Seth had his hands in her knee caressing them to calm her down. The whole room was devoid of noise, each person lost in their own thoughts. It felt like there would be more hidden facts to unlock and that is worrisome. "What is the watch?" I decided to break the silence, tired of the inconvenient silence.Charlie cleared his throat, "they are more of the werewolves clan protectors. They keep tab on intending leaders and try as much as they can to protect the future of our packs."Seth snort, "so much for their roles. How are we still hiding our identity and getting worried about getting caught by wolf hunters.""Don't sound so disrespectful, they are doing their very best." Ester rebuked him. "Listen, all I am trying to say here is; Tephanie your parents aren't bad like you might tag them to be. They are ju
Author's POVPatrick turned in his bed again, trying his hardest to ignore the determined step making it's way to his door. Since they returned from Alessia's house dinner which he had left dramatically, he had avoided his father and stayed put in the room. Locking himself in. However, it was almost late evening and Ryan who had just returned from an outing was pumped to finally address the elephant in the room. And had sent a maid to call onto Patrick. When the knock came on the door abruptly and at an intense pace. Patrick knew there was no escape route for him. Taking a deep breath, he dragged himself from the bed heading out of the room. Making his way to the living room where his father paced the room with his mother sitting with her legs crossed sipping on a glass of juice. Glancing at his mother, Patrick rolled his eyes. "I am here,dad."Ryan turned to face his son with rage in his eyes. Just when he thought the boy would look remorseful for embarrassing both parents in fron
Alessia's POVI could feel Ashley's gaze watching me keenly, but I was too preoccupied with keeping my eyes on the parking space in school to give her a snarky response. I have been trying to get in touch with Patrick, which seem like an impossible task as of late. I huffed in frustration when there was still no sight of him. "What are you not telling me? She inquired, folding her hands against her chest. I turned to her, "Ashley, you would have my head for this for not telling you all about this earlier. I just didn't want to be the whining caller everytime. Knowing how much you have to deal with."Ashley hasn't been quite responsive lately, her mum fell sick and it had taken a huge toll on her. I feel like an horrible friend, prioritizing my petty situation over hers. She laughed, "it's enough that you are considerate of how I might be feeling and I appreciate it. However, leesha you have always been a pillar for me to lean on. I don't mind being there for you for as long as you
