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
Collin's POVAs much as I have gotten fond Patrick. I am not a fan of him being close to Alessia, and to make matters worse he was holding her to himself so tightly. Ariel walked closely to me, obviously not finding the scene funny too. The both of them had history, and you never truly get over the ones you have once loved. Our eyes met and I saw her jolt away from him, with the way Patrick's shoulder was fixed. I doubt if he knew what was happening just yet. I tapped his shoulder giving him a stern glare. "Stop holding onto my girl like that. I am not comfortable with it." I told him respectfully. Alessia pouted, making a cute face at me while she wrapped her hands around me. "We were just setting things out and thought to hug it out." Patrick chuckled, "really, now? Alessia is my friend don't forget. Hey, mama." He pulled at his girlfriend. "I thought you both have chosen to sideline us." Ariel joked I shook my head, slapping his hands. "How are you doing man?" "Very well tha
Collin's POVNot only did the spear sight have me going into trance, there was something about the spear that had me feeling connected to it in a odd way. There is no way I would have come in contact with it before, I have never even held a war weapon before. Seth stood by the doorway giving me a side eye. "Why do you keep looking pale at the sight of the spear?" I shrugged with my mouth agape, "I don't know, Seth. It felt like dejavu when I saw it at the restaurant." He made his way towards me, staring at the laptop screen."I don't know what it is that comes to your mind when you see it. It looks quite normal to me." "It's just me explaining myself to you, stop being so dramatic." I retorted. "Where is mum?" "She should be in the living room. Why do you ask? "She knows history and I am certain this spear would ring a bell." "Why won't you just search the internet for it?""And what would that do? The internet won't be able to give me a forehand knowledge like a werewolf archiv
Author's POVPatrick had woken up a bit too earlier than his usual routine. His eyes refused to do their duty of resigning to sleep. When he checked his phone time, it was just past three am. Sitting up, he scrolled through his phone hoping Collin would be awake. He intentionally didn't call to ask if they were able to call the right authorities on his father's minions. However not asking has deprived him of sleep, dialing Collin. Patrick held his breath hoping Collin would pick up."Can't sleep?" Collin's voice came from the other line. Patrick sucked his teeth, "it's frustrating. Were you able to make the call?" "Yes, and we do hope they responded to it on time." "I hope so too, we would only get to know in the first early morning news." "Is it okay that you are calling me when you are still home. Don't you think it's risky?" Collin askedPatrick's eyes instinctively searched the room for anything suspicious or out of place. He also didn't trust what his father could do. "I don
Author's POVHe struggled hard with the rope used to tie his hands together, no matter how much he pushed and groaned it still wouldn't come off. Tom could feel his breath holes closing uk, even though he was blindfolded he could tell the room the put him in was dark and small. His claustrophobic symptom was beginning to draw in again. Letting out a string of curses, he dragged the chair with all of his weight and ended up falling face down. He groaned in despair as the awful smell of the floor hit his nostrils. It felt like where he was locked in had been an disposing spot for men. Pulling his weight, he fell back on the chair with his face turned up. His arms and legs felt clamped together, with his eyes being covered up for such a long time. Tom thinks he might have fallen blind as well. Just when he attempted to push himself to the wall, and try to free himself the door opened. The smell of fresh nice air hit him. "Well, well, seems like someone is trying to make an escape. Isn
Author's POVThe room appeared tensed due to the awkward silence, none of them could bring themselves to speak. Charlie exhaled loudly, finally finding it in him to make a sound. He had received a call from Brenda asking him to come with Ester to the house. However, they had arrived and met about three unfamiliar people. Charlie couldn't tell if they were werewolves or humans. They could be any of the two, he would argue more human because there was no traces of the wolf scent in them. Only if they had mask it well enough. Neither Brenda or Damien had come down to attend to them yet and it was making Charlie feel impatient. Ester noticed her husband discomfort, she placed a hand on his knee to help him relax. "What's wrong?" She inquired. He gulped, "I don't know. I don't feel too good about coming here, what do you think is going on? It's too unnaturally quiet in here." "Just relax. It's not like there is anything to be worried about when it comes to Tephanie's parents. We have
Author's POVCarla hissed loudly into the receiver, she hated it when Brian tries his hardest to give her an excuse. She had heard Ryan talking about Tom found dead and she wanted to know of everything that the frat had discussed. But Brian wasn't divulging any information. "You wouldn't like what I would do to you Brian if I find out you have been fooling me. I hate being toyed with and you know. I guess there is no need for me to try explaining myself to you. What happened during your meeting?" Brian exhaled loudly on the other line, "don't talk to me like I am one of your son's friend or someone you feed. I am none of the two, so when I tell you what actually is the situation of things you learn to take it as it is. He is suspecting me already and you know how brutal he can be." "Brian, don't mess with me. Try your best to find out whatever it is Ryan might be planning. And I need every information tonight itself. Also, don't forget to let me know when the next heist would be ca
Author's POVRyan's eyes almost jutted out their sockets when he saw Tom lifeless on the floor. He had thought it was a joke when he had gotten a call from the frat to inform him of Tom's death. It seem so surreal. "You did this to cover for you and your family right?" Brian was the first to flare up, his usual way of acting. Jordan cut him a glare, "don't say something you might regret Brian. Ryan how did this happen?"Staring in disbelief, Ryan chuckled. "You all must really think I am this stupid. Why would I do this? It's obvious there is someone among us who is doing all of this and trying to pin it on me. And I can tell who is trying to mess around with me." Brian's heart thumped at that, he feared Ryan might have found out about his constant meeting with his wife. His palm became sweaty when Ryan's eyes lingered on him. "Don't give me that look." He muttered hurriedly. "Why? Are you the one making things up?" Ryan retorted. "Does one make death up?" Brian threw back at him
Collin's POVI could sense the discomfort in Patrick's voice, something was wrong and he wasn't doing much of a good job in hiding it. We were all seated at the school cafeteria for lunch, everyone chatting away. Ariel didn't seen to notice him because of the juicy gossip she was having with the rest of the girls. I noticed our table isn't exactly complete, Allen and Ashley aren't with us. My head seem to be completely filled with different thoughts, and I can't deny that I don't feel like having any form of long discussion. Alessia understood this and gave me my space, it was much more enjoyable watching her have fun and not necessarily involving my take. I felt a sudden tap on my shoulder, glancing at the direction of the touch. Patrick motioned with his head for me to come with him. I kissed Alessia hurriedly on the cheek, before going with him. "I see I am not the only one in a deep thought." He chuckled as we walked towards the schools football pitch. I shrugged, "sometimes t
Author's POVCarla loved her disguise, the use of the hooded red dress she had bought unintentionally years ago finally came in handy when she needed it the most. Coupled with the round glasses and heavy red lipstick on her lips, she could be mistaken for someone else. It's quite a hard task outsmarting someone who is watching ones every move. But she wouldn't let that deter her, she had reserved a sit in the most busiest restaurant in fox city. And the location seem perfect because; none of those who have the high probability of recognizing her would never be found in such place.When she got to the private booth she had on reserve, Brian was already seated with his head down sipping on his drink like a just released convict. He blinked rapidly when he saw her. "Welcome, Carla." He stuttered. She rolled her eyes, sitting down with a huff. "I need you to give me a full update to whatever the message you sent me was about."On her way back to the house she had received a text from B
Author's POVRyan watched in anger as the few members of the frat stood in the hallway of his home supervising the installation of cameras and recorders in the rooms. They had chosen to come at the exact time Carla and Patrick had left the house. Almost like they were spying on the family's move. When the men hired for the job left everyone of them had an access to the installments to ensure whoever hears or sees anything suspicious will let the others know. Jordan was the first to speak. "Everything is all set now Ryan. It's up to you to do exactly as you are told now without doing otherwise. If something is to change we have to take the bull by it's horns." He saidBrian snickered, "there is no need to trust him with it, we would have to stay behind to be sure he does what is expected of him."Ryan clenched and unclenched his fist, he would really have to rethink that thing called selfcontrol and punch the guts out of Brian. "You won't come around to disrupt my home and still exp
Alessia's POVThe music blasted in my eyes as I shot the arrows hitting it's target like I was on some sort of cruise. It made me feel calmer and happy. I should really do this more, my shooting isn't all that bad. I have just been too lazy to practice. "Wow, what are you on woman?" Allen sat next to me, as I rested with my arms stretched out on the grass. I snickered sitting up, "do you always have to comment on everything?" He shrugged, "I can't just help but notice, don't crucify me." I laughed, "what exactly have you don't this morning?" "Ran ten laps around the field. Caught my breath about a hundred times and now I feel like the most fit person in the entire universe." "You crazy being. When would you act your age?" I couldn't hold back the loud laugh. He joined in still resting on the grass, letting out a loud sigh when he caught his breath. "I am trying to take one step at a time." "What's the matter?" "Nothing." He said hurriedly"You are lying. That was too quick!"
Author's POV"He is sensitive, you should have been more careful with him." Charlie said looking displeased. Himself and wife with Brenda and Damien were sitted in the latter's study after excusing themselves from the dining table.Brenda shrugged maintaining her stand next to her sitted husband. "You can't blame me. There has to be a way to point this things out to him just in time. We never know when trouble will knock and from the look of things this evil doers are getting closer." "Maybe we were too harsh on him, honey." Damien admitted, "he is just a child that has endured so much in his life. We could have been more patient." "Patient you say?" Brenda retorted, "my child's life and future is also at stake here. Don't you think it has me worried.""By all means I feel the same way too." Ester flared. "You are so concerned about your own daughter, you intend to put my own son in a fix and have him doubt himself. So you know hard the nightmares are on him? He passes out when the
Collin's POVI can't seem to understand this sort of dinner where the hosts pry into your life and discuss it so openly like they know you closely. Why Tephanie's parents would question me like I was the one dating their daughter, seem to surpass my knowledge. To cap it all my parents sat down saying nothing, there was no doubt one of them had exposed me to Tephanie's parents. Charlie it might be, because he kept talking about how they were leaders of the watch and how important they are. Not to forget their protective body would help us last longer in the fox city.I hate being at people's mercy and most importantly people meddling into my personal life. I kicked at the grass angrily. My eyes scanning the car outside the gate, Tephanie's compound was filled to the brim with different type of cars. Its almost like a silent message to visitors not to bother driving in.If that wasn't the case, one member or two of the family is obsessed with their car collection. They have the most we
