Midnight
My name is Midnight. I was born exactly at midnight, on December 29, 2002. My last name is Lipovsky, although it should be Vosse, but that's a story for another day. I am 20 years, 4 months and 2 days old. And I'm a bit weird.
My hair is brown, long and soft. My face is full of freckles and moles. My arms and legs are extremely hairy and my eyes are different colors. One is brown and the other is blue. That's called heterochromia and is usually seen in animals, which makes a little bit of sense. I was born this way and according to my pediatrician at age 5, my blue eye would lose vision completely at any moment because it's 'weaker' than usual, but he was wrong. Very wrong.
The truth is that my vision is excellent... just like my sense of smell, my sense of hearing and my strength.
Ever since I turned eighteen, something changed inside me. Something that filled me with fear at first but little by little I came to accept: there is an animal living inside of me. An animal that claims to be an 'omega' and that wants me to let it out, but I can't do it because the first time I tried, I had a panic attack and every time that this animal tries to communicate with me I feel like I'm going to combust.
I'm afraid I'm losing my mind and that this is just a creation of my broken mind, but I can't deny the truth as much as I try to because it's impossible to deny something I feel so deeply and so strongly. That animal is a part of me and there's no way to go around it.
Another bit of information you should know about me is that I'm obsessed with men. Incredibly so. I discovered this at the age of 13, while I was surfing the internet and accidentally discovered a gay website. From that moment on, looking at men, analyzing men and dreaming about men comprises 60% of my regular day. Or maybe even more.
And once every couple of months, the omega animal inside me gets even hornier than usual and forces me to spend two or three days locked up touching myself like a sick pervert.
I'm not exactly ashamed of this because I have a hope that it's nothing exceptionally strange, but even though I'm not ashamed, I know it's not healthy to have so many thoughts about sex and men and I know my grandmother would go crazy if she knew some of the things I think or do when I'm alone.
It doesn't matter what my grandmother thinks anymore though. It's been 19 days since I found out I have family besides her. Family that may have answers about the animal inside me.
It's been 3 days since I finally got the courage, took my passport and ran away from home.
Since then, I've had 8 panic attacks. 5 people have yelled something offensive at me for being clumsy and getting in their way. 12 men have captured my attention, 1 of them tried something with me but I didn't know what to do. 59 people have given me rude stares. 1 person has been really nice to me and 3 really big things have happened.
The first is: I flew to London, to a werewolf clan where I discovered that the animal inside me is actually a wolf. An omega wolf.
The second is: I'm living with my father and my aunt. Two people I never knew existed until recently.
And the third: I met the most perfect alpha in the world and I'm deeply in love with him.
I did something completely stupid.The second I set foot in London, the realization came to me that I committed utter stupidity and that I really had no logical reason for doing all of this. I had no reason for stealing my grandmother's savings and fly to another continent to meet a complete stranger who doesn't even come up on g****e when you search for his name. The only thing that comes up about Lionel Kendrick Vosse is his building contract, legal information about a marijuana problem he had in 2003 and a F******k page with lots of friends but no pictures.So I spent 900 dolars impulsively to travel for the first time on a plane where I had two panic attacks. One when the smell and sound of people started to overwhelm me too much and then another when there was a little turbulence. Then I had to be escorted by the flight attendant to pick up my suitcase because I was deemed unstable and now I'm close to breaking down crying in the street because I'm not liking realizing how hard l
That'll be a hundred and twelve pounds. Uh, are you sure you want to stay here?" he asks, the last words in a low voice. For some reason I start to feel like there's no problem with these men, so I nod and pull out the money to pay him, "Thanks. Good luck finding your father.""Thanks to you for the lolly!" I exclaim and I get out of the car, pulling my suitcase and looking towards the men feeling weird, but strangely safe. "Follow my partner, miss. He'll take you to Lion.""Okay," I nod and do exactly that. Once I'm inside a truck, I look deeply at the man, "Do you guys know my father or something?""Sure," he replies in a casual tone, "He's from the same generation as my brother and I followed his career closely. Good guy.""Oh, sure, sure," I nod. I have no idea what his career is, "Why can't taxis come in here?"The man frowns and gives me a funny look."How do they do it in your clan? Do they just let any human in?" he asks as if he is judging mehard and his words leave me confu
I nod towards Bastian and enter the apartment. And even though I consider myself a brave person (relatively), I'm starting to get scared of this. Not the fact that they might do something to me, because they seem like nice people, but I'm starting to worry about what will happen after I meet Lion. I never planned anything after that. I don't have much money left. Maybe it's enough for a couple of days in a sleazy hotel but what about after those few days, what will become of me? This is exactly why people don't just decide they want to travel and leave right then and there. There are things to plan. And the truth is, even though I have enough money to buy another plane ticket and go back home, I don't want to do it. I don't want to be stuck home all the time again, I don't want to go back to not eating sugar or dairy or meat. Not before eating all the sweets that come my way. And meat. I'm the main part of the food chain, I should be free to eat as many animals as I want... or mayb
“Grayson, stop talking. This is a serious matter,” Lion scolds me, “How did she die? When?”“Cocaine overdose. Eighteen years, three months and fifteen days ago," she answers and I guess she must be traumatized enough to even remember the days. Poor thing, no wonder she's so weird. I wish my mother had died eighteen years ago and not hers... okay, I didn't want to think this, I wasn't serious... or maybe I was, “Buy either way, you wouldn't have known about my birth. Like you said, my grandmother hates you.”“Yes... that miserable old woman," He curses under his breath and throws the towel he had on his head on the floor, "Let's see, then, let me recap. Miriam got pregnant, fled back home to America so I wouldn't find out, and two years later she overdosed on coke.... Wow, what a mess. And who did you stay with? Did Miriam get married?”“No, I stayed alone with my grandmother. That miserable old woman you mentioned," Midnight replies. Lion grimaces, "It's not as bad as you think. She r
Midnight stiffens as soon as I draw her into my body and everything gets extremely uncomfortable in that short second. Her face is squashed against my shoulder and her body is at an odd angle, leaning back against me with her ass on the outside and her long legs arranged in a simply weird position."Are we hugging?" she asks suddenly, without moving."No. I am hugging you but you're just in a very awkward position," I reply and even though I know it's maybe not the best idea, I move to be closer to her. I let go of her neck to slip my arm around her lower back and hug her properly. Midnight makes a sound in her throat and stiffens even more than before. Now her face is level with mine and very close, "This isn't a hug either, but it's not as weird as the last one. If you would just... relax your body a little and put your arm around me...""Like this?" he interrupts me, surprising me when he does as I asked and puts her arm around me. I'm about to say that we're actually hugging this
Does this mean that the voice inside my head was right? Am I really part animal? I mean, it's easy to call myself crazy when the animal in my head is talking to me.... but how can I justify four people who are affirming my craziness?It would be too much of a coincidence if they were just as crazy as me, so this must be true. I am a werewolf. Once I manage to pull myself together, I ask a million questions. Fortunately, my father and Angie answer everything I ask, they manage to calm me down from the details that distressme. Except there are a lot of things that distress me. "Midnight, stop," Lion blurts out, as if he's tired of me, "I get that you don't understand and it must be a lot for you, but you can learn little by little, okay? For the moment, that's enough questions. I'm hungry.""Oh... okay.""Wait for us a little longer, we have to get ready before we go out to dinner," Angie says and grabs my hand to lead me to the apartment next door, until we arrive at a place... a be
When I open the door to Lion's apartment after knocking softly, the three men are sitting on the couch watching television."What took you so long—oh, boy," Grayson lowers his gaze to my body, especially my breasts and legs. I love the attention so much that I can't help but do a spin in front of him so he can see all of me, "This isn't the same Midnight that arrived here.""Don't let Angie turn you into her clone, okay?" Lion asks, barely giving me a glance and rolling his eyes, then he extends his beer towards me as if he's offering but I shake my head, "Come and sit with us while we wait.""Okay," I walk over to the couch and make room between Grayson and Bastian again, "Lionel, I have a lot of questions for you. The first is this: what...""This isn't an interview is it?" he interrupts me, with a grimace, "I've always hated interviews. Tell me something about yourself, and I'll tell you something about me.""I have nothing to tell about myself. Nothing interesting has ever happene
For the first time in my life I start to feel like a relatively normal person, sitting here with my father, my aunt and the neighbors. I dare to order a salad with chicken and a pink lemonade. I'm hoping the chicken doesn't give me indigestion, but if it does... then it will have been worth it because it's seriously, seriously delicious. Much better than I could have imagined.We're chatting smoothly, I haven't been asked anything that makes me feel inadequate, they’re explaining more about the wolf thing and every time I turn around, Jake is watching me like he wants to eat me for dinner. That makes me feel all warm inside. I'm feeding off his attention more than the salad."Do you have a girlfriend?" I ask my dad, as he's taking a drink of the sparkling water he ordered and for some reason my question makes his throat close up and choke a little."He has three," Angie answers for him, and Lionel narrows his eyes at her, but doesn't correct her. That makes me widen my eyes in surpris
Her lips feel warm, somewhat trembling and, after a few seconds, wet, when she opens them a little to take my bottom lip between hers. "That's enough," I pull away, when the ten seconds she demanded have passed and a shiver runs down my back. Everything feels like we just did something pretty horrific like killing a poor little puppy and I hate feeling this way, "Can we go now?" Mid stares at me with dreamy eyes for a few seconds, not moving, but then reacts and nods. I get out of there as fast as possible and once I'm out of her sight, I wipe my mouth. That was fücking disgusting. "Guys, this is my very good friend Midnight," I introduce her when we get to the table and everyone greets her briefly. I pull up a chair for her and place her next to me. Immediately Cums smiles at her, "Don't get distracted by her, Cums." "Sorry, sorry, I won't stare at your 'friend'," he promises, making quotation marks in the air, "But I di have to ask, are you wearing some kind o
"Where are we going?" Midnight asks, sitting on my bed as I stuff the bills in my pocket, "I guess it's not to see an exhibition, is it? Because then you wouldn't have been wrong about the century, or maybe you weren't wrong because the renaissance basically did start in the 12th century... not in art, but the mess with the bourgeoisie that made people start denying the fe.." "No, we're not going to go see any exhibitions," I interrupt her to make her shut the fück up, "We're going to go to a really fun and nice place where there are lots of games and entertaining things. You're going to love it." "So why didn't you want Bastian to know? Besides... I'm really sleepy," she complains, "Can’t you go by yourself?" "No, I can't. You have to go with me because if Bastian sees you here he's going to know that I was lying, plus I know that in about two hours he's going to ask me for proof that we're together at an exhibition so I need you," I grab her hand to make her get up, "And I p
{ Grayson } Midnight's mouth hangs open for probably thirty seconds before she blinks again and looks at me like I'm desecrating against her virginity. Which I'm obviously not doing. As far as I remember, at no point did I ask to insert anything into her or even touch her. I wouldn't object to doing so, but I never offered. "No," she whispers, unable to believe I said that and steps back to let go, "That's not fair at all." "Of course it is. You invaded my privacy, now I'll be invading yours. Seems like a very mature arrangement to me, actually, considering I had no choice and just had to put up with someone watching me at my most vulnerable moment. Maybe it's not a very evident thing, but I'm very shy and insecure about my sëxuality. Just like you." "You're manipulating me," Mid complains making a very slight and adorable pout. "Manipulating?" I pretend to think about that for a few seconds, "Mmm, yes. You're right, I am manipulating you." "So..." "So, we need to p
Angie asks me what's wrong but I can't muster up the courage to tell her because I'd have to tell her extremely embarrassing things. Maybe she's cool and all, but I don't think it's a good idea to tell her. I've never been to such a big, beautiful, fancy mall before. There are a lot of major stores where just breathing costs half a million dollars. Or, I should say pounds. Anyway, it's all very expensive and I don't even plan to go near it. However, Angie tells me that Lion has plenty of money so she gives me permission to buy whatever I want. Maybe I should buy "normal" clothes so Lion stops making faces when he sees what I'm wearing, or so people at BM stop saying I just want attention and I'm desperate for sëx (even when technically they're absolutely right) but I don't want to. I buy close-fitting cropped tops, mini-skirts and other things that show off my legs, and pretty lingerie in case I ever get up the nerve to seduce someone. I also buy shoes and other things that are
The moment I realize Gray knows I'm here, I do what any sane person would do: run. I run straight to my room and I'm so shocked that I don't even think about Bastian and Angie having sëx. I bury my face in my pillow and scream at the top of my lungs because I have so many feelings inside me I don’t know what to do with them. So many emotions. And arousal, unfortunately, is one of the most prominent. My phone starts ringing on the small piece of furniture on the side of the bed and Gray's name appears on the screen along with a picture of his handsome face. Of course I don't answer it. I don't plan on ever talking to him again. I stay with my face buried in my pillow for the rest of the night, regretting being so me. I don't know if I slept or not because I don't feel tired and my eyes were closed most of the night, but my mind never stopped working, so I'm not sure. I just know it's morning because Lion knocks on my door like he does every day, except this time I don't get
"What's wrong?" I ask Mid. She shrugs her shoulders without saying anything and climbs down from my car along with her new friend, who gives her a tight hug. "Thank you. It's time to go home, but I'll call you tomorrow," she promises and Midnight's face lights up again, "Bye." "Bye, Fiona," Mid tells her and then Fiona gives me a dirty look before walking off down a dark alley. I wait for Mid to tell me something about what happened at the club or with her new friend, but she just walks to the passenger seat and waits for me to open the door. She smells upset and looks like it, too. I don’t understand why. Midnight I've never been mad at anyone before, not even at my grandmother. I've been mad at situations, of course, but never at another person. And I know I shouldn't be, it's so silly. But I can't help it either. "Seriously, Mid. Tell me what's wrong, you're so quiet," Gray asks once he manages to start the car and we're on our way home. "I thought kissing was some
Before long I find another guy to direct my lust towards, since Matthew hasn't stopped kissing Regina. This guy is the bartender. His eyes are big, his hair is long and his body is big and tall. The way he picks up different bottles and makes drinks is magnificent. I think I’m in love again. I decide to follow my heart and go order a drink just to hear his probably melodious voice. I don't have any money in me, but I can stay there with him until Gray comes back from the bathroom and pays for me. My whole plan is set and as I walk to the bar, I push my boobs up in my bra so they look bigger. I brush my hair with my fingers and quickly pull out my phone to check with the camera to make sure the makeup Angie put on me still looks good. In theory, I look beautiful. And in theory, I'd really like to talk to the bartender and flirt with him, but in reality I settle into a spot at the bar and stand there for another ten minutes without daring to get his attention. Luckily, no
“Let's talk about the relevant topic,” I say, trying to force myself to shake the bad feelings and smile, “Did you like the kiss?" "Yes, it was really good," she says, "But I had no idea what I was doing. And when you kissed my neck... I came close to dying." "Do you want to try that again?" "No, that's enough for today." I have nothing left to do but accept, so I just shrug and pull out my phone as I sit down next to her. I have a bunch of texts from Gemma. "Hey, Mid do you want to go to a club?" "Sure, when?" "Right now. It's Gemma's birthday and I totally forgot," I mumble, texting Gemma that I planned to go to her house anyway to give her her present, "Go get ready while I go in search of a present." "What should I wear?" she asks, jumping out of bed, playing with her hair again and looking excited, "I'll go ask Angie." She leaves without giving me a chance to answer and I have to get my car to go buy something. The only thing I find open n
"I don't care if I’m ruining the mood. If I leave, you won’t do anything and you’re just going to stare at each other like the losers you are," I express and move a little closer until I'm almost glued to Mid from behind. I put her hair gently on one shoulder to bare her long neck and start stroking it very slowly to make her feel calmer, careful not to be aggressive because if I am she's going to get up like a scared dog again, "For god's sake, Baxter. Do something. If I didn't know better I'd think you have no game at all." I earn a smack on my arm from him but I'm getting used to physical abuse so I don't even feel it. Bax finally takes advantage of Mid being in a trance from my touch to put a hand on her face and move in to leave a chaste kiss on her lips. Mid gives a little gasp when she feels it and turns to me with a big smile. My hand is still on her neck, and I don't want to move it. Her skin is so soft. It smells so good in here. And her pulse looks so delicious that I
