MIA'S POV "Nixon, stop!" Davon and Nixon fought each other. They were like angry animals, wrestling for prey. Pacifying them was impossible without getting hurt. I kept my distance, screaming to wean them, but none of them was listening. "Will you two stop it!" "Holy shit! What the fuck is going on?" Theo, fortunately, came by to clarify what happened to Cheska. He called and heard me screaming. Perhaps the answer button was pressed inside my pocket when I ran towards the two. "Theo, cut them out!" "What am I supposed to do?" Theo called out their names before the cops came and arrested them. They broke away, which gave me a chance to meddle. "If you two don't stop, I'm going to call the police right now!" Davon held his ground, but Nixon started growling and removing his clothes. "Nixon, what are you doing?" Irish and Nixon's friend suddenly showed up and stood behind him, holding a pair of clothes. They anticipated it already. "Alpha, control yourself!" Rendel admonished h
NIXON’S POVMia has another mate, a Lycan King. How was that possible when I knew she was mine? And where did he come from?“Alpha, are we going to tell your father about that Lycan?” “What was that, Rendel?” I was in deep thought and didn’t hear him clearly, entering my house. “Rendel was saying that we should tell Faustus about the Lycan King,” Irish interrupted, overtaking me to get inside. “No! Father cannot know about him. At least not yet. We need to know where he came from and why he’s here.”“How? He vanished!” Irish raised her hands, “He’s got some sort of magic.”“Was he even real?” Ecko chimed in. I know he was real. I felt it. The only person who could enlighten us is Mia. She knows exactly where he came from if he was the same guy who saved Mia. “What I’m concerned about is that he is a Lycan King, but we already have one. We can’t have two kings!” Irish was confused, as we all did. No one expected another Lycan King.“I will get to the bottom of this. Rendel, Ecko, f
MIA’S POV “Why was Nixon here last night? What does he want?” Davon confronted me after coming out of the notebook. “He came to ask about you. That’s it. He immediately left after he got what he wanted.” “I don’t like him coming into your room at night. I don’t want him near you.” The sound of Davon’s voice was like a dagger piercing my heart. It offended me. Did he think I was flirting with Nixon? He talked like a King ordering his slave. “We didn’t do anything wrong,” I answered back, but Davon ignored me. Going to the bathroom to do his thing every morning. We spent the day not talking to each other, and Theo was quick to notice that visiting the library. Davon returned the books to the shelves pouting. “What’s up with you two?” “Nothing, Theo,” I didn’t look at him and sorted out the library card. “Hmm, you are not a good liar, Mia. You are avoiding each other. Was it about the confrontation against Nixon?” “Nope. It’s something else,” I glanced at Davon; he was not smili
MIA’S POV Stunned, Mom dropped the tray after hearing me say the word, Dad. The glasses clattered on the floor as she wobbled back. “Mom, are you okay?” “Hang up that phone. Now!” Mom pulled up my phone and ended the call. “Mom, what are you doing?” she deleted Dad’s number on the call log and tossed the phone to the couch. “Why did you delete Dad’s number?!” “You, get out of my house! I told you not to bring that man back into our lives. Get out!” Mom shouted repulsively, opening the door wide. Jeffrey Henderson was left with no choice but to leave. Mom quickly slammed the door and locked it. “That man? Are you referring to my Dad? Mom, he is not just any other man; he’s my father!” “Your father, who abandoned us for so many years!” I walked out, going to my room. I wanted to hear from my Dad again. I wanted him to be part of my life again. Was that hard to ask? “Mia!” Mom followed me. I scrolled over my phone to check Dad’s number, but Mom had erased it earlier, “Mia, liste
MIA’S POVMy eyes are bulging from crying. I hurried to the library to check on Davon. In my mind, Jaret had killed him. The notebook was part of him, but he was standing by the door, alive and kicking.“Oh, Davon!” I wrapped my arms around him. Relieved by my worries. I told him about the notebook, but Davon wasn’t bothered at all. The spell that cursed him protected the notebook. Even if it was broken many times, it would returned back to its normal form. Unless he was totally freed. That was the time it would be destroyed. “I thought I lost you!” I clung to his arms. “Lost me? Never. I’m stronger than that. It will take centuries for Jaret to kill me,” Davon jokingly said.“You are his nemesis. Jaret will follow you everywhere,” I smiled. “Did Jaret hurt you?” Davon asked as soon as we got in the library. He was waiting for me by the door, adamant to know what Jaret did after leaving. “No, he did not,” I replied in a stutter. If I tell Davon what Jaret did, he would at
DAVON’S POV“Wait, are you scared of Jaret?” Nixon questioned why I wanted to get away and hide from Jaret. “I am not. If it wasn’t for Mia, I would have ripped off his life out!” I opposed inaudibly. “Then why hide?” “None of your business. Why don’t you leave? I will get caught because of you,” I peeked downstairs. Jaret doesn’t seemed to need any books. Why would he be? He was only checking on me that’s for sure. I heard Mia pressing him to leave. Jaret scanned inside, with his hands on his waist looking like he was searching for a criminal.Mrs. Olsen came out and urged him to leave. His presence scares everyone around. I was quick to ran back downstairs. “You finally showed up. Don’t worry, he’s gone. Next time, don’t sleep in Mia’s room,” Mrs. Olsen said and went back to her office. “What did you do?” Nixon heard Mrs. Olsen and confronted me. He’s forehead wrinkled in anger hearing that information. “Nixon, not here,” Mia restrained his hand, seeing the rising an
MIA’S POVLight surround Davon’s body, floating to the air. All I know was that he would be back inn the notebook again. I waited for him to disappear, but he didn’t. After hovering above me, Davon was slowly laid on the ground. His bruises are gone and most importantly, he didn’t get suck by the notebook. “Davon?” He was unconscious. I approached him and check his pulse. He was still breathing. I called his name again. Davon blinked his eyes and looked shocked seeing me beside him. “Why are you here? Did you get suck with me?” “Huh? No. Your still here. The notebook didn’t dragged you inside. Look,” I pointed at the bushes and on the grass that was covered with his blood. “What?” Davon looked up. Sunset is almost over. He should be inside the notebook by now, “Why am I still here? Wait, Mia, do you love me?” “What kind of a question is that?” “Just answer me.”“Of course I do.”“You do? That is why!” Davon hugged me, “ Your love freed me. That’s the cure to my curs
MIA’S POVMom jumped off the stairs landing on her feet like a real badass woman. The werewolf attack her, but Mom fought back effortlessly. “Mia, the bat!” I threw the baseball to Mom. She caught it, and swung it to the werewolves face causing it to wimp and run. She took her and called someone. Within thirty minutes, a van pulled over in front of our house. A group of guy came out and replace our door. They fixed everything like nothing happened. Mom talked to a guy seating at the front seat. Their voices are barely audible making me hard to listen to them. After which, the van left. I didn’t leave my spot sitting at the crouch facing the front door. I’m waiting for an explanation and Mom will give it to me. “Mia, why are you still here? It’s late. You should go back to your room and sleep,” Mom started the stairs.“Who are those people?”Mon looked around, “Who?”“Those who fixed our door!” I had raised my voice. Mom was playing like nothing happened. “Carpenter
DAVON’S POVMia is the only person who could tell me about Vera. If she’s back, I have to be really careful and hide. Not only she could do harm to me but also to Mia. Theo told me that she would be discharge in the afternoon. I went back to the hospital dress as a utility personnel. I stole the uniform in the locker room of the stuff when I used the back door. Covering my face with a mask, I took a map and a pail, and clean the hallway on the floor where Mia was confined. I waited for a few minutes for Jeffrey or Elon, but I didn’t see their shadows. Moments later, I used the cap I found inside the utility uniform’s pocket and wears it. I went to Mia’s room and check the toilet. When it was clear that she was alone, I immediately approached her. “Mia, is it true that Vera is back?” “Davon? Oh, my God!” Mia glanced at the door, “If my Dad sees you you’re dead.”“I know that’s why I made sure they aren’t here. Is it true that Vera is back?” I checked the door every second. “Who t
DAVON’S POVTheo narrated after I left. Mia’s struggle to forget me, our past, and our love. I now know why she hated me, and that made me wonder if I deserve her. “That’s sad, but let’s here Davon’s reasons. We cannot jump into conclusion without hearing his side,” Aunt Criselda said, waiting for me to talk. I explained everything to Theo. He was silent the whole time, contemplating on my story. If he deny me, I don’t know who else to approach to help me with Mia. “Bro, if you lost your phone, you should have visit her. I know it’s a long drive and very tiring, but at least that way Mia will know the problem.”“I know it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have assumed that she would wait for me and understand my situation without telling her. I was just caught up with the responsibility given to me, and I thought I needed to improve myself so I could catch up with this world.”“Catch up? Why, are you a caveman?” Aunt Criselda urged to eat the muffin, “There you have it Theo. Can you he
DAVON’S POV“Elon Lucas. What a pleasant surprise?!” I was playing it cool, but deep inside I was terrified. Elon Lucas is mot a fan of my kind and yet here he is, in my house. Elon smiled. “Indeed. Actually, your presence in the hospital shocked me. I’m sure you already know why I am here.”“Hmm, coffee? Wine?” Elon chose wine. Preferably cognac. Fortunately, Victor set up a mini bar and filled it with all kinds of wine. It paid well. I told Alfred to serve the wine and joined them in the living room. I was rehearsing my answer in my thoughts just in case Mia already denied me.“Tell me about it,” Elon demanded, thanking Alfred for the wine. “It was a big mistake. Mia and I are not together just to make it clear. Well before, but its all over now.”I was studying Elon Lucas’s face. A wrinkle formed his brows which means he is not satisfied with my answer. That is up to him. I stated the truth. Nothing more, nothing less.“That is great. Not anymore that only prove to me that you
MIA’S POV“He is not!” I sit up, objecting. “Then what is he talking about?” “Look, Mr. Lucas, it’s a long story but if you let me. I will explain….”“Davon, that’s enough! Will you please just go! You are not invited here,” I shamed him. With Dad around, I don’t think it’s a good idea to dwell in the past. Davon left in silence. For everyone’s peace of mind, Nixon left too. Dad doesn’t want any werewolves in my room, and I know he will not back off. “I brought you some flowers,” Jeffrey place it on the table, setting aside Nixon and Davon’s flowers, “How do you feel?”Jeffrey touch my forehead. I slapped his hand and move away. “Baby girl, he is only concern for you,” Dad defended him, and because of that, I lost my interest to talk to him. Obviously, I don’t like Jeffrey, but he’s pushing it. “Okay, what happen? How did you end up here?” Dad asked. I turned my back on them, so Mom explained everything. I am not going to pretend anymore. Jeffrey is not welcome in the family and
MIA’S POVWhat is happening to me? I felt so weak. Vera was in front of me shouting. Then she gave me water, forcing me to drink. I took a sip and close my eyes. After a few seconds I felt my stomach grumbled and puke. God, that felt better! Vera check my eyes and poured something in my mouth. “This will make her feel better. She’s dehydrated. Did you have a drink last night?” “Yes, Aunt Vera, just a few drinks.”“That’s why,” Vera told the housekeeper to cook some soup and demanded to do it quickly. She came back and check my pulse then check my eyes. I feel better, but my head still span when I move. “She’s regaining color. Give her the soup and let her rest. She needs more sleep and water. I suggest your friend shouldn’t drink alcohol when she’s anemic. It’s too dangerous.”Cheska stood beside the couch with her hands on her waist. She shook her and took her phone. “Is she stress lately? Because if she is then your friend must be suffering from poor sleep which causes her hem
MIA’S POV“Jeffrey? What the heck are you doing here?” “This is a public place. I can be wherever I want. Now, if you please,” Jeffrey drink his wine and put the glass in the table, “Before this guy shifted and rampage this place, we better go. You don’t want to be here if the Legion comes.”“What are you talking about?” “Questions later,” Jeffrey held my hand and pulled me. I immediately pulled back and meddled with Nixon and Davon. Jeffrey didn’t leave and watched us with mockery in his eyes, while Nixon and Davon were sizing each other. My friends came to help me, but none of them broke their stares. “If you do not stop, Dad would be here with his entire Legion and I would be force to marry Jeffrey!” I yelled. “What? Tell me you’re joking,” Davon turned to me confusingly. “I am not. So you two stop this nonsense or I will never talk to any of you ever again!” I walked away. Theo and Cheska followed me. I urged them to go home and leave the place before Jeffrey report everythi
MIA’S POV When we got home, Mom quickly went to the kitchen and opened some wine, drinking it straight from the bottle.“Mom, are you okay?” “I’m fine, just go to your room.” I nodded and turned away, heading to my room when I heard Mom called me again.“Mia, forget what your Dad said. He’s delirious, and I don’t want you going to that place ever again.” I couldn’t agree less with Mom, but Dad’s announcement didn’t bother me for a moment. I was more concerned of their confrontation. Dad was downhearted hearing those words from my Mom. As if she regret their relationship. She regret falling for him. “There’s only one person to blame,” I fisted. The next morning, I searched for Jeffrey Henderson at the Japanese restaurant. I know most of the members of the Legion hang out there, and I was right.“Jeffrey! I need to talk to you now!” “Do we have something to talk about? I am enjoying my tea can’t you see?” he answered rudely. How could Dad set me up with the guy like him? “Yes we
MIA’S POV“What are you talking, Dad?” I uttered softly.“You heard me right. Jeffrey is one of the members of Legion. He can protect you. Besides, he already confess his interest on you yesterday and he was very sincere.”Everyone congratulate us. I let my Dad’s words sink in to my perturbed mind. He already planned my marriage without asking me. Dad called Jeffrey and invited him to join us in the center stage. He was smiling widely waving to the crowd. He was about to hold my waist but I eluded him. “Don’t touch me,” I said and walked out. “Mia!” Dad called out, but I left swiftly, leaving my bike in Jeffrey’s car. I kept running without direction. All I wanted was to getaway. I thought meeting my father again was a good thing. Why would he want to betrothed me to a man I don’t love? Is it enough that he and Mom didn’t end well being in the same secret society. I stopped running and realized that I reached the bay walk. It was packed with tourist enjoying the beach. Sitting u
MIA’S POV I was breathless seeing Davon entered the classroom. Our eyes met, but I immediately retracted. He introduced himself to the class and moved to a seat at the back. Davon dress expensively like his brother Victor. Confident and proud. Different from the Davon I once knew. City life changes him big time. What do I expect? He left and didn't bother to look back and forgotten us. That is how money could do to you. His eyes didn’t left my sight, but I pretended not affected by his presence. Davon is nothing to me now. He no longer exist in my life. “Welcome to our school, Mr. Maddox. I hope you enjoy your senior year here. If you have any questions or you need some guidance, my office is open to all students,” Professor Callahan said with full of enthusiasm. He was always been proud of our town, but knowing Davon as one of the oldest family living in this town, he found his new prospect to trade stories about this place’s history. “Thank you, Professor. I appreciate that.”
