Alessia's POVBeing able to reach Collin had put my mind at rest. I couldn't imagine leaving the confines of the apartment without knowing what went wrong with him exactly. When the taxi stopped in front of the house. I saw Allen by the gate with a worried look on the face. He had tried calling earlier, but I decided against picking his call.I stretched my neck behind him, "what's wrong? Why are you out here?"Allen snorted. "Can you give me a reason behind not picking my call?" I flipped my hair to the back, "because I didn't want to. Do I owe you an explanation for that?" "You know what,it's of no use talking to you right now. I will get to you later. Cara has been calling me and she said your line was unreachable. And asked for us to arrive as soon as we can. My fear right now, is what the hell has happened in that house. I really can't deal right now."His skin look pale, he looked like he would pass out soon. "Can you calm down, please. You might run out of breath like this."
Author's POVEveryone looked back at the direction of the voice. Gregory stood with an emotionless face, glaring down at them. If he wasn't trying to be so lenient, he would have had Alessia thrown into one of the dark rooms where he enjoys punishing anyone who dares to question him. Alessia gulped hard, even though her palms were so sweaty they were beginning to slip from her tight fist she still stood her ground. "Why would you send them on such mission without a proper and actual knowledge of the environment you are headed!" She glared, stomping her feet. "Alessia!" Miranda called out weakly, worried as to what her father might do to her daughter. Gregory ignored his granddaughters tantrums, and gave her a toothy smile. "I blame Miranda for not having enough time to train you on this things like she was suppose to. As a member of the Winter family. It is your duty to ensure taking any risk as long as you do what is right and hunt down any werewolves that come in sight.""And ho
Alessia's POV"This is really bullshit!" I blurted out in anger, splattering spittle on Cara and Allen. Not like I care to say sorry though. "Can you calm your nerves?" Allen mumbled. I turned to him with my raging anger, "how do you expect me to? My mother is on the sick bed, wallowing in pain and there goes my awesome grandfather who thinks it's heroic of her. Is it that I am the only sane one in this entire house!" Allen and Cara practically rolled their eyes at me, as if whatever I was saying sounded like a banned music. I don't know if they are in some sort of coup that I do not know of. But, whatever it is running through this lots head. it's surely not of a sane person. I have watched my mother cower in fear in front of her father everytime she is in his presence. What surprises me the most, is how cold he is towards his said children. Despite, my father's presence lacking in my life. I have seen people like Ashley's father, who protects and loves their children like their
Author's POVAriel sniffed as she made her way away from the alley. Trying her best to ignore her adoptive father who called out behind her. They were at it again and Ariel wasn't cut out for their trouble. This was all due to her carelessness. Even though she feels prideful to admit it, Collin had been the one saving her ass before they were forced to leave the city in which she had gotten to know him. If he had been around, Ariel would definitely not be in the mess she was in at the moment. The mistake Ariel did the moment she got to fox city and was able to trail Collin again, was tell him the truth."Ariel!" Tom her adoptive father called out again. The alley was dark, but she knew he wouldn't do something stupid and try to hit her. Someone would come to her rescue, and he would definitely get exposed. "You slimy bitch!" He growled behind her when she eventually stopped in her tracks.Ariel turned to him trying to hide her tears. "Yes, dad!" The dad word almost choked her.Tom
Collin's POVI don't know why I woke up thinking about Ariel, the entire weekend was one hell of a ride. Rodger moving out and myself still adjusting to the gun my family decides to gift me. It scares me to touch it. Charlie made a promise to teach me how to use it during the coming weekend. I am hoping we wouldn't have time to do so. I feel fagged already, knowing my entire life is surrounded with looking behind me, uncertain of who might be coming after me. Getting dressed I left my room to find everyone by the dining table except Rodger of course. I miss him already, the only brother whom I have the deepest connection with. I do hope he finds peace where he finds himself.Someday soon, I do hope everyone of us would be able to settle down peacefully. My mind still feels unsettled over the wolf hunters rumor. I want to believe we are the only werewolf family, including Ariel who is a sole ranger. Thinking of Ariel now, my mind drifted back to the night I saw her at the open resta
Alessia's POVThe doctor who came to treat mum seem to enjoy putting people to sleep a whole lot. For two straight days, I haven't been able to talk to her. Everytime I go into her room, she is asleep. I just can't imagine how much pain she must have been experiencing for her to have indulged in the sleep so peacefully.I got dressed for school quite early hoping to catch her awake. To my relief, she was awake and Cara stood by her side tending to her.Mum smiled when she saw me. "Hey, baby."I mirrored her expression. "I was just about to ask the doctor what the hell she injected you with."She and Cara laughed lighlt, I know I can be loud sometimes. "come here, honey." She called out to me, nodding towards Cara to excuse us. I sat next to her on the bed, leaning on the bed frame. My eyes lingered on her wounded part, and it had me filled with rage. Against nobody else but grandpa Gregory. It's his fault that my mum has to endure this pain."You really can't blame him baby." Mum sai
Collin's POVIf I knew Patrick was such a sissy, I would have rode the bus instead. All through the ride to school his mouth kept blabbing unrealistic things that could have happened to Ariel. The guy is smitten already. I wish I could tell him the least of his worry is Ariel getting raped.I am more concerned about not her fur not being hanged for pleasure by the hunters. Despite Patrick's protest to call the police. I told him not to, I have no idea how to explain my reasons to him. But, he appears calm at the moment and it's giving me enough time to think. There has to be a pattern to this. My mind drifted back to the night I saw her, she looked scared and jumpy. Her eyes darted around as if she was worried someone was out to get her. Why didn't she talk to me then? I and Ariel were really close back in the city we moved from. Did she not trust me enough?By the time we arrived the car park, Ashley and Tephanie who were talking randomly. Patrick had blurted it out to them. Tephani
Collin's POV"No! No! You are not about to drag me into this mess. Aren't you scared for your life?" Seth bickered at me, his face looking tensed. This is the very first time since I have known my brother to look so bothered and serious about something. He never seem to worry about a thing. I sighed holding up my waist with both of my hands. After finding a means to escape Alessia and the others. I had called Seth out before he settled into class activities, to help me find Ariel. His smell sense is the strongest in the family. "Ariel is one of us, Seth." I told him.Seth shook his head in defiance, "don't tell me that. You are my brother, Ariel is just another werewolf." He toned down his voice at the mention of that. "Can you stop being selfish?" "But I am the one being reasonable here, Collin. What if we are also walking into a damn trap ourselves. How in the world did she get herself roped up in all of this in the first place?" I was really beginning to feel frustrated at Se
