SIERRA’ P.O.V “Then I will,” he said with a plain face and I looked at him surprised. Never in hundred years did I ever think I would hear him say something like this. “Sierra, you’ve made my life…a living hell,” he said as he ran his hand down his face. He looked so cold. His aura was bone-chilling. This is not Xavier, is it? Did he change this much? This is not the guy who would pop out of nowhere and tell me how much he loves me or the guy who would always want to know where I am, the guy who tried so hard to make me smile, the guy who loved me despite me being insecure, the guy who would hold my hand even when I didn’t ask, the guy who would put my need before his and the guy who…claimed to be in love with me for eternity. I couldn’t get a word out of my lips, I was suffocating and choking on my own misery. “Xavier, is this you?” I asked just trying to make sure. “Who else would it be?” he answered coldly. Just yesterday, he was happy to see me when I woke up but now, he’s say
My alarm went off and Courtney came into my room. Not her usual bursting into my room, just entering peacefully. Courtney has matured a lot over the past year, I almost can’t recognize her. Her hair got less curly, her eyes brighter and her structure taller.I’m only glad that she’s doing better than I am.“Sierra, you have the doctor coming over today so get up,” she said and came to sit on my bed. She looked like she was hesitant to talk. She wanted to say something important.“A-Aaron told me that you and Xavier broke up but he told me that I should not talk about it, is it true?” she said and by the time she said his name my head was spinning. I couldn’t get a word out of my lips.The silence filled the air and became awkward so she went out. We were back in our apartment. Aaron was staying here as well to help me out with basic housework. I sat on my bed and got ready for the hard part, getting my ass on the wheelchair.I took in a deep breath and stood on my shakey legs before t
It’s been three months now. A lot has already changed. I haven’t heard anything from Xavier and that’s okay…I think. Aaron has been helping me a lot. I finally got a grip on how to use my hands so I graduated to using a four-legged walker and gave away the wheelchair.My scars are slowly fading off since most of them were from the inside and the ones that showed on the skin were not too deep. I cook sometimes when I plead with Aaron. I still haven’t managed to speak a word. I always get an uncomfortable feeling whenever I want to say something. On the other hand, Dominic has been a great help. He has encouraged me even on days when I thought it was all pointless.The therapy has been good, I can now smile or show facial expressions. I realized that if I let myself o, how do I expect Courtney to be? I can’t show Courtney that if someone leaves you, your life is broken. I have to show her that she doesn’t need someone to be a strong girl.I love Courtney way more than she may know, she
XAVIER’S P.O.VI looked out the window at the endless green. The sun poured on the forest and the clouds parted and clashed in the sky. Everything seemed to be in perfect order. Why is it like this? Why am I so dissatisfied with the way my life is right now?This is how it is. This is how it has always been. No, this is how it was before Sierra. I pressed my fingertips on the glass separating me from the outside world. How is she? I can’t check up on her no matter how strong the urge is.I’ll just end up ruining her peace. Out of everything that’s happened, I only pray and hope that she’s doing better than I am. I hope she can walk again and put on that beautiful smile that I have seen very few times.The last thing I need is to see her eye to eye, instead, that’s exactly what I want but wants and needs are two different things. Wants are just for satisfaction, needs are for survival.I miss her. Mark said and I sighed. I picked out a cigarette pack from my back pocket. I lit it and
I was now dressed in the traditional werewolf Alpha attire. To be honest, it was very revealing. The top was some sort of black one-arm tank top that covered the top half of my abdomen. It was decorated with the ancient pack logo in gold and a few floral golden designs as well. It had a string of cloth that went around my body and connected to my pants. The pants were white and huge, it was like a skirt on each leg and they were very low set. They covered my shoes which were a very simple sock-like and surprisingly comfortable fit.On top of the whole fit was a huge robe that covered part of my arms. The inside of the robe was black and decorated with golden floral patterns and the outside was white and faded into black at the bottom.This attire has been passed from the very first Alpha of Midnight Summit who was my grandfather up until now. Every pack Alpha has to wear it during the tournament to respect tradition. I’m glad mine isn’t the worst looking at least.“Xavier, remember wh
XANDER’S P.O.VI stepped out of the car and onto the disgusting American road. The air reeked of poor diet and Gen Z. Birds were flying around pissing in the air and the sun was shining directly in my friggin eyes. I hate this place.“Heunace, umbrella!” I said and my beta brought an umbrella to my side. I walked out of the airport and into the Lamborghini waiting outside for me.‘This man looks crazy powerful but why is he in a lime-colored suit?.’ said the chauffeur’s thoughts. I smiled to myself. I am indeed powerful. Many people question my choice of clothing but I see no problem with it. I just find colors exciting. The only reason I’m in this dastardly country is because of that good-for-nothing Alpha Xavier. I’m supposed to have a meeting and discussion with him about our industry advancements.The fact that I do oil and he still has the upper hand in business aggravates me. I like a good challenge and out of all these good-for-nothing Alphas, he seems to be the only one willin
SIERRA’S P.O.VI woke up to the sound of my alarm. I patted my hand on the nightstand feeling for the phone until I got it. I snoozed it and sat up. Is Courtney up yet? I forced myself out of bed and stood using my walking stick as support. I made my way to my bathroom and got myself ready for the day. I put on something basic for the cold weather and since I won’t spend much time outside.I put on pale tan khaki trousers. I just realized I like wearing tan pants. I added a black long sleeved turtle neck and a checkered long coat. I came out of my room and saw Courtney on the island sipping milk as Aaron was behind the stove making breakfast. “Good morning Sierra.” both of them said and I smiled back and made my way toward them. Aaron looked at me. I knew he was asking if I needed anything. I shook my head signaling that I was okay and he nodded. “Sierra, are you escorting me to school again today?” Courtney asked and I nodded as I gently pinched her cheek. Aaron made Croque madame
“No, I can’t just leave it like this…I’m not mad that she’ll become queen luna, I just don’t want her with that lunatic!” I said as I rubbed my palm on my forehead. Velrod sighed. “Alpha Xavier, when was the last time you’ve heard of a werewolf being mistreated by their mate?” he asked calmly as he looked at me. I looked back at him and sighed then thought about it.“Um..never…” I answered and realized that mates are always soft on each other, no matter the type of person you are, you’re bound to be lenient on your mate. Xander is not a normal werewolf though. I’m genuinely worried for Sierra, I don’t want her to be in the hands of that good-for-nothing scam.“Before you get annoyed and act on impulse, Alpha, have you thought that you should get her side of the story first.” Velrod pointed out and I nodded, but how do I actually get the courage to stand in front of her and talk after all this shit, after three months of shit.“Xavier, sometimes risks need to be taken,” Velrod said an
