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
Today I had a physiotherapy session with Dom, we were going to a pool today. I was in the car with pool clothes on under my huge crochet sweater that went all the way to my knees. I started looking forward to these sessions because they made me feel accomplished each time I took a step toward having my feet back in my control.I looked at the skin on my thigh and noticed the huge pink patch that was once there had faded off more. It was almost all back to normal. I passed my hand over it and let out a breath. “Are you okay?” Aaron asked as he kept his attention on the road still.I nodded and he glanced at me and nodded back. Aaron has become closer to me than before. He’s always making sure I’m okay first before anyone else. At first, I didn’t want him putting me above his needs but after a while, I learned to just accept it and appreciate it.I reached for the pocket of my dress and picked up the card that Xander gave me earlier. It was a business card with his name written on it in
Xavier's P. O. VI gripped my steering wheel as I got only closer to the destination. In all my years of living, nothing has made me more uncomfortable than this. I clenched my jaw and took in a sharp breath before swallowing the thickness in my throat. The building started clearing one by one before the institution stood in solitude in the distance. I pulled into the parking space at the back. Before I got out I counted one, two, and three breaths. I fixed my suit on my body before stepping out of the car one foot after the other. I stood up and looked around as my confidence filled me once again. I hadn't forgotten an inch of this place. The wide glass windows, five-story buildings, and modern architecture. I once worked for it, now it works for me. In a few seconds, a lady who seemed to be in charge came to show me around. I honestly didn't pay an inch of attention. I spent all that time thinking about the first thing I would say to Sierra the moment I see her. 'Calm down man
“Okay, try letting her take over,” Xavier said as he stood in front of me.“But how do I do that?” I said anxiously and he sighed then knelt on the grass in front of me.He held both of my hands in his and looked me in the eye.“Calm down first and talk to her. Ask her.” He said and I closed my eyes as I took deep breaths.“Domino, would you please transform me?”“Take off your clothes first, I don’t wanna rip em and have you move around butt naked.”I snapped my eyes open and looked at Xavier with pink hints on my cheeks.“She said I have to strip, first,” I murmured and he raised his eyebrows.“Right, I’ll leave you to it then. Do you want me to transform too?” he asked as he stood up and dusted off his knees. “Yeah, I’d like that,” I said and he nodded and walked into the forest.I stripped and felt my bones break and rebuild themselves. When I opened my eyes, I was on four feet. I looked at the ground and pranced around.“Aruuuuu.” Domino howled. She was now mostly in control. I l
“Xavier…”His lips crushed into mine and I couldn’t help but respond. My arms rested on his shoulder and the other on his cheek as our lips danced together. I felt my body get a burst of energy and hunger growing inside me.He pulled me closer and lifted me to sit on his lap. We continued kissing and his hands held the small of my back and played with the hem of my shirt until they were on my skin. Wherever he touched felt like kisses of pleasure, flames of fire that I wanted to devour me.I pulled away and looked into his eyes. He wanted to kiss me again but I felt guilty for doing this.“Sorry.” He said as he placed his hand over his mouth and looked to the side then let out a sigh. His hand that was on my waist let go and rested on his thigh.“I messed up.” He said and I combed his hair back using my fingers which made him look at me with a slight shock on his face.“I love you too, Xavier,” I said and smiled softly. I felt like I needed to do this. I needed to tell him this for qu
I was currently at home in the living room scrolling through the tv for random channels. The thing is that I barely watch tv and when I do, I get tired of it very fast. Maybe I just haven’t found a show to like. Courtney and her mom are currently reading a book together which is adorable. Dad is taking a nap in his room. It’s 3 pm and everyone has something to do except for me. I woke up early today, finished a significant portion of my course work and got tired of it. To knock me out of my train of pointless thoughts, I heard a knock on the door. I immediately stood up and got a bit shocked when I saw those bright blue eyes behind the door. I didn’t know what to say. I walked outside into the hallway and closed the door behind me “Greet bitch.” My wolf said. “Good afternoon.” I kept my eyes on his, not like I had the energy to look away. My body was using all my energy to keep me on my feet right now. “Good afternoon,” he replied and I cleared my throat and looked away from h
Xavier’s P.O.V“OK, EVERYONE, GET IN POSITION. NEWBIES, TO THE LEFT.” The coach announced and blew a whistle with a ball tucked under his armpit as he pointed to the side of the court. I followed the instructions along with everyone who came in for tryouts. I’ve been practicing basketball for a while now along with Walter and a few other pack officials with little experience in the sport.I could say, it wasn’t my expertise or majorly- I had an unfair advantage here compared to the other men. I was faster, stronger, and far more agile so even if I don’t put in much effort, I can do significantly well.The coach was calling one by to showcase what they could do against the captain of the team.He was tall, looked like he had enough sense to be considered top-tier, and seemed faster and more agile than the average human. The goal set to qualify the newbies for the sport was simply to last 2 minutes on the court without letting the ball get bounced off them.I watched from the bleachers
-Anonymous For 24 years I have been waiting to be out of the cages of duty and back in the courts of my pack. Luckily, I found a brain wave from a female werewolf. She seemed to know something about Xavier since her scent had a tinge of his scent. She was dreaming and I see no other way it was time to apply my power to enter dreams and read minds. I entered her dream and it looked like nothing less than depression and anxiety, the scent gave it away as well. It was black everywhere not even a single speck of light except the one over her. I walked to her and she seemed to already notice my presence. She was in tears, this looks exactly like heartbreak at its worst. Did Xavier reject her? "Young girl, do you know where my son is?" I asked her and she glanced at me and shook her head meaning no. I let out a small grunt in disapproval. "I was almost certain that you were his mate," I said that while squatting in front of her studying me in her current sitting position on the floor a
CHAPTER 63“Wow, you mean all that happened over the weekend?” Penny said with an exasperated look after I told her about the kidnap and all that stuff.“Yap.”She nodded slowly as she looked into the distance then turned back to me with curiosity in her eyes.“I mean, are you happy, surprised, confused, or angry?”“I could say I’m happy but I feel like it happened so suddenly so I’m still trying to digest the situation.”She nodded again. I could sense that she wanted to ask for something but she was shy. I could also guess that what she wanted was for me to spill some tea about Dom.
There was a silhouette of someone who seemed to be in armor standing still. We couldn’t see his face or any detail, we could only see the light surrounding him exposing the silver of his armor. We all stopped in our tracks uncertain of what to do next. He seemed to be observing all of us. He was scentless. There wasn’t much I was getting from him. Suddenly my dad stood upright and his eyes opened wide in shock. “RUN! EVERYBODY RUN!” he shouted and my mom was grabbing my hand to go find safety as my dad stayed in a fighting stance. Xavier and Xander didn’t retreat either. “WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?” Xavier shouted and my dad swallowed deeply. I could smell the anger morph into a pure rage in his scent. “Mom, who is that?” “Shhh,” she silenced me by covering my mouth and I could smell the fear in her voice. She must know this person or thing and she must be afraid of it for a grave reason. I decided to sit still. Xavier The man in armor lunged at us as he drew a long sword out of its
SierraDad lunged at Xander with a fist and he dodged it but dad moved his fist downward and punched him in the face. From then on, I didn’t see much, it was like a blur.“Dad, stop!”I screamed but they didn’t hear me. I wanted to pull them apart but my mom held me. “No, stop! Dad, that’s my mate!” I screamed and my dad stopped. His eyes looked deep into mine with emotions I couldn’t read, his hand fisted around Xander's neck and blood down his nose. Xander’s fist landed on his jaw and he glared at him then knocked the daylights out of him.I rushed to his side and frantically tapped him trying to make sure he wasn’t dead. I checked his pulse and he was still alive. I sighed in relief and glared at dad. He shrugged with a guil
We sat down and my parents first gave each other a look and nodded before mom decided to talk. "You see Sierra, we had something urgent to do. We are what you may call werewolves too that's why it looks like we haven't aged a day and we are rogues." she first paused and I nodded.“I see but then…why didn’t you tell me? And what does that have to do with your plane crush and your gravestone, your dead bodies..." I said with a bit of anger in my voice and dad spoke. "Sierra, let’s explain this as simply as possible," he said in a calming tone and I looked to the floor and then back up to them holding myself down.“A long time ago, your mother and I, were King and Queen of a pack.”“About how long ago?” I asked as I swallowed the saliva in my throat.
