Alessia's POVThe guilty look in his eyes gave him away and I could tell he wasn't comfortable seeing me there. What boyfriend asks his girlfriend for another girl's contact. And not just anyone but Tephanie's. Despite being told by Ashley that it means nothing, I couldn't dispute the fact that it might be something beyond what I am imagining.I just really want to know why he intends to see Tephanie without anyone being present. I had seen Tephanie leave the diner looking relaxed and excited. I can bet I have never seen her that way before. Collin was walking towards me now, and I am so not giving him the satisfaction of having me cornered. Opening the door, I walked out increasing my pace to prevent him from catching up with me. Even though I did hope he would catch up. "What in the world Alessia? Can you just wait up." He called behind me"I don't want to talk to you!" I yelled back at him not stopping.I could hear the laughter In his voice, "why wouldn't you want to talk to me,
Alessia's POVWhen I eventually caught up with Ashley, I was puffing my lungs out. "Why did you run off like that?" I asked, trying to tone down my voice. She sniffed with her back turned to me. "It's nothing." "Ashley?" I called out to her again. I have never seen her act so weird before. It's almost like Ashley always has everything under control and doesn't have to worry about anything. "What is this about? Why did you act up when Allen talked about liking Tephanie?" Taking a deep breath, she turned towards me holding my gaze. "It's nothing, you must have misunderstood my reaction. I have nothing against his want.""I haven't mentioned anything about you being against what he wants. There is something you aren't telling me Ash and here I am thinking we tell each other everything." "It's nothing Alessia, there is no need to discuss on this. It means nothing in the end." She shrugged it off.Seeing she would keep refusing to respond to me, I decided to break the shell. "Are yo
Collin's POVAs I sat down anxiously by the park awaiting the arrival of Wayne. My thoughts ranged from one thing to the other. What if there are actual wolf hunters in fox city. One major reason, we keep moving from one city to another is the fear of this hunters.They would stop at nothing to wipe off the entirety of the werewold clan. I remember it clearly like it was just yesterday on how my mum got killed by wolf hunters. However, they appear interested in something from her as they kept harassing her cold fur digging their hands in every corner of it. My hands shook and felt sweaty at the same time. I had been so engrossed in my thoughts and almost jumped out of my skin, when a hard pat landed on my shoulder. "Fuck!" I belloerd, sitting up hurriedly"What In the world man! What got you so riled up." Wayne said to my face as he tried to call back my attention. "Hey brother." I finally uttered, returning to my sitting position.Wayne sat next to me with a worried look on his fa
Alessia's POVI hate surprises and unannounced visits, not me walking into the living room with the thought of finding something nice prepared by Cara to eat, call Collin and talk for long hours then get some good sleep. But instead, I walked in to find Patrick and my mum chatting loudly like they are old friends of some sort. My already partially ruined day is officially ruined. "There she is." Mum called out the moment she laid her eyes on me. Patrick had a smirk that I would really love to wipe off his face. "Hey there beautiful." He drawled.This asshole never stops to amuse me. How dare he try to act sly with me. "What is he doing here mum?" I directed my question at her.He grinned unbothered, "since you wouldn't reach out to me, I decided to do so instead. I am the guy In the relationship after all."Allen chortled, causing me to burn holes into him with my glare. I sighed rubbing at my forehead, the icecream I had is becoming a disturbance to the peace of my belly. "You k
Alessia's POVI was all smiles as I saw Patrick off, this was the first time I actually did notice a genuine smile from him to. Can't believe the both of us have been choked by the so called relationship so far and we kept pushing on just to please our inconsiderate parents. Didn't realize I was hopping my way back into the house until I heard my mum call me from behind. "I see you both have finally resolved your differences." She teased smiling brightly.Uncle Walter chuckled, "young love is beautiful, see how bright and happy she looks at the mere sight of him."Mum did a dramatic sigh, "And here I was worrying myself over nothing, thinking you both actually meant the breakup. You should thank me for allowing him in, since you were hell-bent on sending him out of the house." Just to make her feel really good about herself. I hugged her tightly, kissing her cheek."I have some assignments to do. See you all." I said hurriedly, running off the stairs before they pull me right back.
Alessia's POVAfter Cara left, Allen still bore holes into me with his eyes. "You had better have an actual explanation for what I just heard right now. But I will hold on to it after we are done seeing grandpa." He mused, leaving the room.He didn't even let me say anything before cutting me off, rude much! I sat back in the bed with a huff. What In the world does grandpa have to say this time around? I hate sitting in family meetings called by him, it takes such a long while I start to feel sleepy while at it. Placing my phone underneath my pillow, I stepped out of the room. Allen had gone past me and couldn't even think it right to wait up for me. As always I will be tagged as the always late one. I was right about being the last person to arrive, they were all seated before me. But then when I looked around my aunt ingrid hasn't arrived yet. My role model! She is the only Winters that has refused to let the family tradition deter her from following her dreams. She is always up
Collin's POVThe rest of the day had gone smoothly, returning home with a sober and sorry Wayne made Annette really happy. Mum couldn't stop thanking me for talking some sense into him. If only they know what mess we might be getting into. During dinner, following Wayne's order. I had texted my brothers and Charlie asking them to let's meet up at the roof. Seth overtly excited state almost gave us away.Luckily, both Annette and Ester decided to retire early for the night. Despite having the whole living room to ourselves, we still chose to meet at the roof top. Charlie was already sitted, drinking from a bear bottle with a relaxed look on his face. Rodger and the rest arrived a bit later. "Ah, it's so nice seeing all of son's gather in one place. Did you all miss your father so much? Is that why you called this meeting?" He bombarded us. I had almost forgotten that Charlie has a clown like behavior whenever he intends to show it off. We all laughed at his joke. When the noise di
Alessia's POV"Please you both, it's too early for your drama." Aunt Ingrid moaned in distress as Allen and I barged into her room bickering at each other. Last night when she had arrived we didn't get to talk to her because of an international call that took so long. I was practically dozing off alongside Allen and she had to ask Cara to help us to our various rooms. However, this morning came with an entirely different drama with Allen choosing violence as his wake up call. "Why are you both on each other's neck this morning?" She inquired again when the both of us stood rigid glaring at each other."Ask her!" Allen glared.Aunt ingrid and her usual dramatic way of responding to things, turned to me with an eye roll. "He said to ask you."Flapping my arms I stared innocently at her, "I don't know what he is talking about aunt." Allen stood wide-eyed, "how is it that you lie so smoothly? Before we got called for the family meeting yesterday. What did I ask you to do?" Closing my
