ALEXAKIS I was almost dozing off when a knock sounded on my door. I hissed as I opened my eyes due to the annoying sound. What was it with people and always banging on my doors each time I tried to take a rest? The knock came again and I knew that whosoever was at the door was not ready to let go of the insistent knock. I grumbled and got up from the bed to open the door. I saw Luna Lisa standing there, her brows furrowed into a frown."I was just beginning to think that you didn't want to open the door because you somehow found out I was the one knocking." She said.After she said her harsh words the previous day, I didn't bother to reflect on them for long because I didn't want the hurt I knew I was sure to get from it to sip deep into me. I had ignored the turmoil of emotions that hit me all at once because I didn't want to hate the woman. But as she stood in front of me now, I knew that there was no way I had the anger controlled within me. No, it just came back, or should I say
Nathaniel/Scott's POV It's been a few days since I got into action. A few days since I wreaked the havoc that should boldly have my name written on it.Oops, sorry. I meant the name of the man I was currently residing in.At first, when I first occupied the body of the man, I thought that he was nothing but a weakling. However, two days after I took over his body and began to turn some of the Elders and the pack members against his brother, the man began to revolt against me. Why it was so was something I couldn't comprehend.Shouldn't he be overjoyed to see someone caring for him and trying to push up his aim of being the Alpha? But, no, the man wasn't in any way pleased. If anything, he began to find a way to separate himself from me. It got so worst that the pack members had begun to suspect that the man was not himself. Thus, every time they saw me, they always turned and ran off in the opposite direction.I didn't let that discourage me as I felt that he was only trying to find
Evie's POV When the phone rang for the tenth time with no response from Nathaniel yet again, I knew for certain that the man had decided in his heart that he was going to be ignoring me. How was I supposed to let go of something like that? After the man had already raised my hope and I thought that I was almost at the end of my struggle with the way I was dissatisfied with everything that was going on and everyone around me?Not even when I knew that I had done more than placed my hopes on him. I had gone beyond that. I was rude to Father because I felt that the breakthrough I so seek would be mine to get the moment I was able to get in touch with the Nathaniel guy. Only I couldn't find him anywhere. Not at the den where someone first gave me information about him, not at the bar where we first met, and not catching him on the phone either."I'm doomed!" I sobbed. There was no way that Father would forgive me for all the hurtful things I said to him, especially when I was not his bio
Nathaniel/Scott's POV Humans would make you lose your temper. I hissed as I saw my drink and the glass cup all shattered on the floor from when I threw them away after Evie decided that the next best item she could do was frustrate my life until I lost my temper. And lost, I did it. I didn't regret the decision that I made to curb her arrogance at all. Even when I was pretending to be in love with the girl, I had always done nothing but wanted to strangle her and put her in her place. That spoiled brat!I looked around the empty place and decided that I was bored enough already and didn't care to stay alone for my drinking spree anymore. It would be better if I just went to the bar, and mingled with people, while I still looked for some unsuspecting victims to suck their souls off their bodies to strengthen my powers. I went out of the house and made my way down the lonely path that I loved to take just in case I saw any unfortunate person who decided to take the route when I did.I
ALEXAKIS *Hi, this is your favorite P.I. I am currently on a mission. Please drop your message in my voicemail, and I'll solve the mystery once I am available.*I clicked the end call button before I would be redirected to the voicemail box. That was the sixth time I was calling the private investigator to ask him about the daily update that we passed to each other, but I just kept getting redirected to the voicemail each time I called. When I called the first two times and I got the same message, I dropped a message for the man asking him to get in touch as soon as he was free. After an hour of not hearing from the man as I thought that I would, I called again. Since then, it had been the same response over and over again."What the fucking hell is going on?" I muttered under my breath."What is going on where?" I heard Luna Lisa's voice ask from the doorway. I sighed as I saw the woman coming in and I berated myself gently for not realizing that she had even opened the door to the
ALEXAKIS For three days after that, I still couldn't find out anything about the private investigator. No matter how many times I called him, there was never a response. That was when I knew for certain that something awful must have happened to him. I opened my laptop, intending to get another private investigator who would be able to find out exactly what had gone wrong with the man. The first thing I saw was a mailbox floating at the forbidden of my laptop screen. I opened it, thinking that it might be news from the man I was about to start a manhunt for. As I read the content of the mail, my stomach churned. Yes, it was about the man I was looking for, but it was not in the sense that I wanted it to be. The letter was from his wife. I cleared my eyes and read it again to be sure that it was exactly what I thought it was.*Dear business associates of Cam. I hope this mail meets you all in peace and joy. This is Anne, wife to private investigator Cam.I am writing this mail to all
CLAIRE My whole body felt strained from not moving from a spot for over six hours. I should take a break, but I couldn't leave the work I was doing seeing as I was almost at the end of the course. Another hour or so, and I would finally be done with one of my courses. It crossed my mind that once I was free, I should apologize to Alex for the way I was rude toward him the last time we talked.After I bashed him for no reason, I decided that I was not going to see him no matter what, until I was able to create the time for us to talk and spend enough time together. Otherwise, there would be no difference in my apology. It wouldn't make much sense if I apologized to him for not giving him enough time and still ran off the moment he accepted the apology. So, once I was fine and had some free moments, I would tender my apology and suggest that we spend some time together. I just prayed that the apology was not too late considering the fact that the man refused to come to see me since the
CLAIRE Should I accept to go out with this man, or should I simply just ask him to bring back the Elders to the council as Luna Lisa asked me to? Well, maybe I could please the two parties without making one of them feel down about trusting me. I should accept Alex's invitation for dinner. While we were at it, I would use the opportunity to raise the issue that the Luna was worried about and ask the man to rectify his errors.So, I nodded my head to affirm to him that I was ready to accept his offer of going out for dinner together. I saw the smile on his face widening, and I was happy that I didn't turn him down. I decided to use the opportunity that he was happy to ask for forgiveness from him for treating him rudely that day in the garden, so I moved inside and closed the door behind me."I haven't apologized to you properly for what I did the last time we took a walk together," I said to him. "I am sorry I yelled at you like that, especially in the presence of people who were you
