Collin's POVI have never had to experience Rodger glow so much in a day before. He looked happier and relaxed, all through the ride back home he kept whistling a happy tune. I feel so glad being able to experience this moments with him.Tonight was so much fun, not only did my brother get to finally meet his mate. I also got to spend enough time with my girlfriend. It's been a long time we had a chance to spend time alone. Before we entered the house,Rodger motioned for us to sit out for a while. I could sense he wanted to get something off his chest. "Tonight's sky looks mesmerizing." He praised looking towards sky. I sighed, imitating his position. We both stayed silent just watching the stars."I feel so happy Collin." He said, "I had always thought I might never get a chance at actual happiness. Knowing we would be forced to still keep moving. I have been so keen on finding the one for me, but I have been so scared and worried of what the future might hold. But I don't want to
Alessia's POVThere is an odd resolution that I have come to in this so-called Winters household. The members of this family of mine are immune to happiness. Especially my grandpa, I do love him but he can really be too much sometimes.And one of the days he does too much is this particular day and that is because my least favorite uncle; Joxer. Had run his mouth to the whole family about aunt Ingrid's new love affair. I should really whoop that man's ass someday soon. Poor aunt Ingrid that had returned home with a high spirit last night was about to be roasted with their so called family meeting. All the time that I have known her, I have never seen her so happy before.I bet she slept with a full blown smile on her lips. Just like I did to, last night was one of those night that wish will never end. Not me waking up this morning to find everyone sipping coffee like they are in a world class boardroom. Don't they take a long nap in this damn house? The moment I got down, Allen had
Alessia's POVThe weekend had been filled with unwarranted drama, but it felt nice since the spotlight did shift away from me and talks about Patrick. But I felt sorry for aunt Ingrid, she had to be faced with their malicious threats of all the things that could go wrong the moment she leaves. But she left anyways, got herself lodged in a hotel. And only decided to affirm she isn't dead yet by responding to the numerous texts and calls Allen and I bombarded her phone with, this morning. Talking about how much she had some good sleep after what seem like ages. She really has an unhealthy reaction to things. If I had been the one sent out of the house and told never to come back. I would have sat by the gate seeking for mercy.But that is definitely the perks of having a job and your own money. Lesson learnt I should really get a skill incase I get thrown out of the house too. I wonder where Ashley and Collin are. It's lunch time and I have been waiting for them to join me. But they a
Collin's POVHearing the threat in Ariel's words, I know she wouldn't let this slide so easily. The main reason I had stayed away from her even when we attended the same school and were a bit close. Is due to how entitled and petty she is. It's beyond a pretty face for Ariel. If she wants anything, she wouldn't mind rolling up in the mud and splashing it over everyone just to get what she wants. I had avoided her enough due to her sour side. At the same time, she is a sweet person to be friends with. If one over looks the negative side to her. During the weekend, we had gotten an unexpected visitor and it turns out to be Ariel. How she got my address, I have no idea. At the same time I wasn't too surprised when I saw her and Seth giggling and chuckling. Seth knows nothing about courtesy and seeing someone's permission before giving them out to a probable assassin or what not. We decided to go out as suggested by Wayne, since Rodger would be leaving us soon. Ariel being around join
Collin's POVAriel had walked out on me right there, she did make an exit. I rubbed at my forehead, feeling a dull ache coming through. One thing I try as much as I can to avoid in my life, after seeing how much Wayne had to run from it all his life before finally settling with Annette; is girls trouble. I ran back to the school, to give myself off on the altar to Alessia before Ariel roasts me . Everyone who knew Ariel and I back then in the city we lived, all believed we might end up together. Mostly because, Ariel is super clingy and would stick to my side all the time. Ester was the first to notice she would be trouble and had clearly warned me to not go beyond the friendship level with her. When Ariel had come to the house during the weekend, ester clearly didn't feel comfortable. And now it's my turn to feel uncomfortable around Ariel. When I returned to the cafeteria, lunch was obviously almost over. I wonder how many minutes I was gone for. "Where did you go man?" Allen as
Alessia's POV"Do you mind, calming your nerves down abd stop prancing around the room?" Aunt Ingrid said to me, obviously tired of me disrupting her moment. After I and Collin had our altercation and I couldn't find him till the day ended, I felt a bit disoriented. Allen ditched me saying; he and Ashley have an outing together. I know I needed someone to talk to, or I might just lose my damn mind. No other person looks visible except her. I sat hurriedly on the bed edge, "how am I suppose to stay calm? He kissed someone else and I am suppose to act casual about it?" She raised a brow, "Errr, you haven't exactly told me how you went from Patrick to Collin. How about you begin with that first." I sighed in exhaustion,"aunt ingrid, maybe I thought I loved Patrick. But something different ensued the moment I met Collin. He is sweet, amazing, handsome." I chuckled at that. "He just makes me feel happy and special.""If you know all of this about him, how do you not trust him then?" Sh
Rodger's POVI had thought leaving my family would be a sad moment for me. But it's surprising how excited I am to explore the world outside. The excitement fills me up so much, I have been trying to hide it from them all to prevent them from being sad. Zipping up the bag that contains the things I consider essential and might forget if I don't area ge on time. I dumped myself into the bed, checking through my phone message notification. Ingrid had texted me saying she was almost ready.I didn't realize the time had gone that far. Sitting up with the intention of getting changed I heard a knock on my door."Who is it?" "Collin." Came the response. I should have known it to be him, he is only courteous male in the house. Who knocks before barging in on you."Come on in man." I called out excitedly, opening the door. His face looked gloomy. "What is wrong man?" Collin sighed laying his back on the bed. "I don't know Rodger, I am just having so much fear and concern for the future. I
Collin's POVDinner with the family and Ingrid went really well, we all had a good laugh. Seeing charlie and Ester, Annette and Wayne, Ingrid and Rodger all loved up despite everything going on around them and the flaws of each one of them they were happy. I had felt really hurt the other day when Alessia had looked me dead in the eye and not believe me. What bothered me the most was Ariel's threat of revealing who I really am to Alessia. I am less concerned about Ariel. What Alessia would think of me plays on my mind. "Ignore Ariel." My wolf scoffed. I guess i am not the only one irritated by her misdemeanor. Waking up this morning and making my way to school. I am determined to clear up the misunderstanding between Alessia and I. I don't mind having to follow her all through school like a lost puppy. "Someone looks lost." Patrick's voice bellowed from behind me.I had just made my way to the school hall after parting ways with Seth. Lost in my pool of thought, I didn't realize w
