LANA. After Alexander left I stayed, watching because I didn't know what to do. I didn't know all of Dad’s plans and I couldn't go and meet him to tell me. He would curse me. How was I supposed to save him? He was stubborn and wouldn't listen to me. I ran my hand into my hair, racking my brain for ideas. How was I supposed to stop something I didn't know about? All I felt was pain straight in my head because my brain was tired of thinking through the entire thing. ‘Transition minutes!’ “What?” I asked, feeling Elena come forward. ‘Whatever your dad asked them to do would be done during the transition period. Do you know what transition minutes are right?’ She asked me and I nodded. My father was the Beta hence I knew about it. It was the time when the fellow would connect with the previous Beta through their blood. It was their most vulnerable state. Geez, Elena was right. “Thank you!” I whispered. ‘Don’t thank me, he is our mate!’ I took a cab back to the wed
ALEXANDER. It took me ten minutes to get back to myself. The Alpha carried her to the hospital while I stood there watching her blood slide through the floor. What just happened? I was in shock, even Tyrant came forward with the same emotion. ‘Did she… did she take a bullet for us?’ He asked. Why did she? She shouldn't have. Goodness, I was undeserving. She warned me but I did not listen to her and now she has taken the bullet for me. My hands shook. The Alpha car had left before I moved. “Alexander, are you okay?” Tina asked but I did not respond to her. “Who shot the gun?” She asked. My eyes darted to the direction it came from and I saw that it was a timer. Someone had placed the timer gun on the tree and set it to this time. The transition time when I was going to be unconscious. Lana warned me. She told me about it but I did not listen to her. I thought that she was being selfish and wanted me to herself. My heart froze in my chest, becoming heavy because of her. She
LANA. After two weeks, I was released from the hospital. I didn't have to pay a dime because the Alpha was the one who brought me over. The pain should have been visible on my face when I was told that the Alpha had admitted me to the hospital. The man that I took a bullet for didn't care about me enough to bring me to the hospital. He didn't check on me either. Annalise came every day and she slept over sometimes because of Dad. She said Mom and Alexander had gone on the honeymoon given by the pack. Also, Tina and Alexander were going to move to the new house given by the pack. Annalise was also going to be moving back to school, she was supposed to have gone after the wedding but she stayed because of me. I had told the doctor not to tell anyone about my breast. I didn't want anyone to know about it as he would only lead to fake pity. I didn't want anyone to love me because of it. It was the bad kind of love that I didn't want. My dad and I were left in the old house, just
ALEXANDER. Honeymoon? I hissed at the thought. Tina had sent me a message concerning it. I had also received emails involving it yet none of it excited me. I tried making it work, to be excited about it. I couldn't bring myself to be. Still, I couldn't ask about Lena. I couldn't text the Alpha to know how she was. The good thing was that the pack group didn't have anything concerning her. Overthinking it, Lena wasn't popular in the pack. She was mostly hated by everyone and no one paid attention to her. It could be the reason no one said anything about it. Hence I ran in the wild to make myself feel the slightest bit better. No, it didn't work. I just got tired, train and sleep again. The pain in my heart didn't cease, yet I didn't know what it was. Perhaps it was because of her. I hadn't marked her so I didn't have much connection to her. Two weeks passed and I finally faced my fear. To be honest, I had never felt such strong emotion in my life. Nothing had ever made me sl
LENA. The first day of school wasn't easy. I struggled to have my bath. I watched the wall clock tick, watching as the arrow moved by seconds and minutes without blinking my eyes. Fear resonated within me. I hadn't seen my breasts. I had avoided them for the longest but today I had to go to school. The school was my outlet. I gently stepped off my bed, stopping myself from tearing up. I had cried over and over again, nothing made me feel better. Not the tears. All it did was make my eyes blurry and heavy. Eventually, I had to bathe except I wanted to be bullied for smelling and having not bathed for two days. I swallowed as I stepped into my bathroom. I had washed it the other day yet I did not bath. Trust me, it was dusty and disgusting but I did not feel the need to bathe after. That was how scared I was to strip and have my bath. Fear of seeing my body unhinged. Not unhinged, I should never refer to my body like that but that was what it was. One of my breasts was gone, a
LENA. Home was not a fun place for me. I wished that I didn't have to come home but there was no where else to go. Have you ever felt like you didn't belong in the world? As if you weren't supposed to be human? Perhaps you were supposed to be a temporary thing in the world and then a mistake happened. Wolves were permanent but we were lived longer than other creatures on earth. Well, except trees. I would rather become a tree though, not existing but now that I think about it. Trees have more horrible life than most humans did. They got cut off by us for the sake of our benefits yet we care the least about them. This world was cruel and I wished that it was less this way. Walking home felt like hell but I had to go home because my father was waiting for me. Although he acted all cold and mighty, he still needed me. And knowing that he needed me, I couldn't leave him despite all that he did to me. I braced myself for another hatred that would drip from him to me. After dropping
ALEXANDER. “What part of get out of my room do you not understand? I hate you and don't want to see you ever again!” Damn, she pierced my heart with those words. Her eyes were sincere and that hurt more. She really wanted me gone and didn't want to see me. She was harsh, brutal, and inconsiderate. She forced me to crawl back out her window. All I wanted was to see her and talk to her yet she pushed me away. My heart felt like it was soaked in cement, it was so heavy. ‘She is probably just upset that we didn't check on her.’ Tyrant came forward as I jumped down the roof landing on my feet without any sprain. After I was decreed as Beta, I had gotten new strengths. “She doesn't know how hard it was for me all those days she was in the hospital. I couldn't do anything for myself. I could not eat or drink. I ignored Tina by burying my phone for a few days wandering about. All of these were because of her and nothing more. I want to tell her these things and also ask for her forgivene
LENA. I flung my eyes open the next morning, feeling unshed tears in my eyes and the tears rolled down the side of my face. I wiped with the back of my hand before stepping out of my bed, looking toward the alarm and wondering if it had rang. It hadn’t. Something smelled good this morning but I didn't know what it was. Perhaps someone was cooking good food as the smell was delicious and edible. I had just woken up so I couldn't quite figure it out. First, I had to clean the whole house, a habit Tina developed in me. Hence even though she was gone and married to another man, I still did it. Next was to attend to my dad, and throw the rubbish in his potty away. Then, Cook and feed him and also give him his drugs. It was pretty easy because I had mapped it out in my head. By the time I was done, it was a few minutes past seven, and the day had just broken. Thus, I went back to my room to prepare for school. I had just walked in, my door facing my window when I noticed a fur animal o
