STAR'S POV
When I walked into the sitting room Aunt Kate was nowhere but it smelled like a wet dog."What was here? ."
The kitchen was downstairs, at the extreme of the house . It was a joint kitchen with a dining room. I stepped into the kitchen and it was properly cleaned. Turning to walk out , I noticed two used tea cups at the counter. Saying to myself"Aunt Kate had a visitor. ``But who may that be ? She is rarely visited , I thought to myself with a frown on my face. Where is she ? " Aunt Kate Aunt Kate
" Screaming on top of my voice. Where is she?
"Finally you're home. I thought you lost your way home" Aunt Kate said walking from the sitting room into the kitchen with a red hand towel cleaning her hands.
Rushing to hug her, she opened her arms welcoming me.
" I am sorry, it was." I tried explaining but she cut me off.
"Shhhhh, it's ok . It's in the past now. You are safe and that is what matters. Go upstairs,take a shower and rest. Breakfast will be served, ok. Sure you are hungry. '' She said this while rubbing my back.
Pulling away from her I replied "Yes I'm famished. But I will take a shower first."
Turning to move, I pointed at the used tea cup ,raising my eyebrows .
"Just one of the neighbors who dropped by." she waved at me.
I was not fully convinced with Aunt Kate's answer. Something seemed off but I wanted to ask her but hesitated for a while thinking of what to say to her, I decided against it, nodded and left. I was really tired and hungry. When I feel much better, I would ask her for more details. Moving upstairs, I walked through the hallway which consisted of two rooms at each side, and a bathroom at the end of the hallway. The second room at my left close to the bathroom was mine and the first room by my right belongs to Aunt Kate. My room is designed with rose flower paintings on the wall with a white background. Frames of nature hanging on each side of the walls. My bed was positioned at the center of the room properly decorated with Teddy bears of different colors with a weaved white and red rug close to the bed. My reading table is positioned close to the window. I love looking at the moon especially when it is a full moon.
I stripped and stepped into my little milk color shower. No school today, it's Saturday. I lay down on my bed staring at the ceiling . Closing my eyes for a brief moment.
His hands were stroking me from my laps to my side , over my left breast in a slow agonizing manner. He came up and I could see his face. ALEX … he placed his right index finger on my lips to silence me.
Coming close to my right ear he whispered
"Shhhhh, don't make a sound. Your Aunt might hear us." and bit it sending electric waves down my back to my core.He kneaded my breasts through the cotton shirt I was putting on. Positioning my both hands above my head, he rubbed my flat tummy and moved south parting my thigh with his knee . Twisting my panties to the side, he brushed my clit. I moaned deeply in response.
" Please" I begged
He inserted one finger and I gasped. The movement was immediate and mind blowing.
Moving his finger at a slow pace, he whispered"You are mine."
I bit down on my bottom lip. He added another finger and was a bit faster . My hips moving in their own accord, begging for more.
"Faster, please" I was pleading as if my life depended on his skilled hands biting my lower lip.
" Star, Star." I could hear someone calling me but who was that.
"Star, Star wake up." That was Aunt Kate.
Opening my eyes , I saw her standing close to my bed with her hands on both sides looking directly at me. I blushed and sat up . Marveling if she knew what my dream was all about.
"Breakfast is ready, come downstairs. And wipe that smirk on your face ,it's annoying." She said this leaving the room.
When she left I sat there remembering my dream. I couldn't believe my own dirty dreamClosing my eyes shut , I held my chest . "Alex, I need you." The smell of bacon and eggs filled my nostrils. I opened my eyes and jolted out of my bed towards the door.
Sitting by my bedside with a chilled beer positioned at my left hand and my phone at my right, I was scrolling through messages and tried deleting some. I switched off the phone and dropped it on my bed. Standing up to close the windows I was caught off guard with what I heard. From a distance I could hear a voice calling out to me. I looked up STAR, I heard her "Alex I need you".Voice so smooth and filled with desire . It took every willpower not to go over her house and claim her. My wolf was as inpatient as I am but I was confused. How could she communicate with me through her thoughts?
AUNT KATE'S POV
Watching Star ascending into her room, I breathed out. She notices things too fast. How time flies. I recalled her first fall. How she weeped and ran to me for comfort. I also remember when she lost her first tooth and how she cried that she looks weird and she won't go to school because her friends will laugh at her. How she looks so cute in her sleep and how she makes funny faces when she notices I'm upset .A lone tear rolled from my eyes, I cleaned it with my hand towel. Feeling so sad that all that will come to an end very soon. I wish I would be by her side in the most difficult circumstances that will befall her. I hope she is ready to bear the truth. She is a strong woman no doubt but I hope she will be mentally and emotionally strong for what is about to unfold. The truth.
STAR'S POV It's prom night, fully dressed in my red shiny handless short gown with suede hand gloves to my elbows. My hair was in a stylish loose bun decorated with pearls matched with diamond necklace and earrings. I put on a black sandal heel . Applying my lipstick which is deep red in color , Aunt Kate stood behind me and watched in awe. I turned to look at her and she said "You look so much like your mum. Beautiful and smart. You are ready and who is your date ?" When she asked this question there was a knock on the door."Just guess. It's a surprise. " Giggling, I went to the door and opened it. My knight in shining armor stepped in with a bouquet of red roses in his left hand, dressed in a tailored dark tuxedo. His hair gelled back. He looks so handsome."Aunt Kate this is Alex, Alex this is my Aunt Kate. She is like a mother to me." Introducing Alex and Aunt Kate.Alex just nodded his head and said "It was nice meeting you."Aunt Kate responded "Likewise." An unknown tens
STAR'S POV"Aunt Kate, I don't understand what I saw and how is it possible that I could see that ?" I said to her but she didn't move or blink but she was staring at me. How is that possible? I placed my right hand on her chest and could not find her heart beat. It was then it hit me . She is dead . I felt the agonizing pain seeping through my veins and deep into my heart shattering it to pieces with every passing second. I looked into her eyes and could see how lifless it was. She felt cold , really cold . Coming close to her face I called out her name"Aunt Kate. Aunt Kate." "Star, she is gone." Alex spoke At that moment it began to snow. The earth seems to be in accordance with the predicament that just happened. Rocking back and front , I screamed "NO." I felt every fiber in me vibrating and exploding. This can't be happening. It's a dream . It felt like a dream. Alex came to drag me saying"We need to leave"I turned with so much force and held Alex by the neck pinning him
STAR'S POV"Alex, Alex" His mum called out from the sitting room. Alex answered from the dining room. "Yes, mother? "Rushing to his side she said "Alex, he is back" .FINITIE'S POV"Were you able to get what I asked?" I glared at Red because I knew she was not able to get what I asked for and I want to know why. "No boss, I was not able to get it. " she said this while bowing down her head. Bowling my hands into fists on my table, I punched it with so much force a hole was formed in the middle of the table. I yelled "....and why was that? What stopped you from carrying out my orders ?......." "......It was Alex. He was there……" she stated without blinking. I jabbed the table the second time and a crack sound could be heard. Looking straight at her, I said"..... Alex was there and that stopped you from carrying out my orders ? For someone who can mask her scent, I am surprised at the silly excuse you are lying to me about. For the last time, what stopped you from carrying
TRACY'S POVGoosebumps could be clearly seen all over my body . Cold seeps slowly into my being. I waited and waited for what seemed like an eternity in the shower but he never came. I am such a fool to think that Infinite would ever love me like before. I heard him screaming on top of his voice while answering a phone call then he left the room in anger jamming the door and leaving a loud thud behind. I was in a kneeling position in the shower because Finite ordered me to. Positioning myself like a ball at a far corner near the sink, I hugged myself and cried, low and sorrowfully. I pitied myself at that moment. I poked myself forward and backwards. I know he doesn't love me. I'm like an object to him. He treats me like trash, he uses me whenever he feels like and I turn into a punching bag when he is pissed off.Sometimes I can't believe that we meant for each other. I can't believe I'm supposed to be by his side forever as he is my Alpha which resulted in him marketing me by the ne
UNKNOWN POVThe night seemed cold and peaceful except for my troubled mind. Standing at my balcony with a glass of scotch in my left hand, I could smell numerous passers by walking on the pedestrian lane bumping into each other. Not caring who they come in contact with. I could see and hear vehicles honking which expresses the drivers impatience and arrogance. Looking up ,I noticed there were no stars visible in the sky and no moon. Just the thought of Star being with Alex pisses me off. Flashbacks of Alex kissing and hugging Star came through. Gripping the glass in my left hand with so much force, I broke it with my bare hands. I felt nothing, no pain, just the smell of iron . But I was bleeding, not much to take me to the emergency unit but enough to stain my floor. I didn't bother because I heal fast. Nothing is moving according to my plan. Nothing. I feel so frustrated. Breathing out heavenly, I heard the balcony door slide open. I don't need clarification on who just came in, I
STAR'S POVMy mouth was wide open. Responding to Alex ,I said "How is that even possible ? The blood moon, me, my heart. " I was so confused .Alex came close to me "Star, just listen to me. You are a hybrid. " Looking at Alex I had to scream "Like what the fuck is a hybrid? I am a hybrid human with a heart that is the key to a blood moon . How the hell is this making sense."Seriously what the heck. I am a hybrid. Nothing is making sense. I feel like my life just took a wrong turn into another dimension. Sitting down on the bed, I placed my head on both of my hands. "Alex, who I'm I ? " I asked in a low voice. I'm seriously getting tired of all this. First it was me waking up in an unknown bedroom, then Aunt Kate and the ability to see what had happened through someone's eyes now this ? Alex stood in front of me, squatting to my level, he pulled my hands away and said "I can't really explain everything because you are not ready and" What. No, I'm not taking this. I pushed Ale
STAR'S POVFear gripped my heart. I couldn't form a single word. I was so shocked and scared for fear of the unknown. I couldn't think straight. CELINE was all I could think of. I jumped down from the bed and rushed to the closest stumbling on my own feet. I took out a pair of jeans trousers and a blue top. When I was done, I rushed out of the room towards Alex's room. Placing my left hand on the doorknob, the door swung open revealing Alex on the other side. He too was dressed in all black. A pair of black trousers and a black T-shirt. His hair is a mess on top of his head. He looked straight at me " Star, I know. Let's get the car ".I never did say anything or tell him anything but all I wanted now was to be with Celine. I need to see her. To know how she is doing. Dear God, please let her be alright. We ran down the flight of stairs with Alex in front. On reaching the last step Allison, Justin and Ethan were there, prepared like soldiers on a mission. They all looked serious. Al
ALEX'S POVKnocking Celine out was one of the hardest things to do on this planet earth. But I had no choice. I know she wouldn't move a muscle, she is attached to Celine like she was her blood sister. Losing her Aunt Kate and now Celine would be very hard for her.I picked her up and carried her to the car which was parked outside and laid her in the backseat. Ethan climbed into the driver's seat and I followed suit by sitting in the passenger's seat. We reached home, I picked her up and carried her from the car through the sitting room and towards her bedroom. I kicked the bedroom door open as my both hands were occupied. Placing her on the bed, I tucked her in for the night. She turned her face to her left and I sat there watching her as she slept. A frown was visible on her face, I signed, then I left the room. I went downstairs into the sitting room and saw both Justin and Ethan standing at the center of the room. They were discussing and were so engrossed in it that they didn't
Her scent was everywhere, filling each of Alex's nostrils. His eyes searched the crowd for that white-skinned slender brown hair beauty. There she stood close to a woman presumed to be her mum but there was not much resemblance between the two. He stared at her in awe just looking and drinking her beauty. She was a sight to behold just like a star. Her skin was white as snow, soft like silk. Her airs were dark like nightfall with almond-shaped eyes. Full brows, perfect white set of teeth, and heart-shaped lip. The only difference from Crystal's was her gap tooth. She is a clear explanation of Grace. Dressed in a black sequin dress just at her knee level. Not wearing makeup but striking as ever. Alex was surprised to be drawn to a girl just like Star.CRYSTAL'S POV'Mum, the school field is packed with people. I'm nervous. ' Crystal looked up to her mum for comfort and words of encouragement. Although her twin had assured her that she would give an exceptional speech her nerves were
CRYSTAL'S POV"JANE!!!!!!" where the hell did she put my rollers? I have searched every nook and cranny of my room and I can't find it. It's almost time for my presentation in school and I have to look perfect. I wonder why she always carries the rollers. I have wavy long hair, thick like a forest. Sometimes I spent hours trying to put it in place with a strand of white hair by my left. While Jane has Straight hair which refuses to get rolled. Each time her hair is rolled, it gets straightened to its normal strands and I use the rollers to put my hair in place. We both have stubborn strands of hair."JANE!!!!!" I screamed and could feel my head about to blow up due to annoyance. I was about to scream her name the third time, she walked into the room casually, not looking bothered at all. Looking at me and raising her right brow she said in a low voice like she just woke up from a long beauty sleep "what is it, Crystal? " "Seriously Jane. Like seriously, where the hell did you ke
PROLOGUE ALEX'S POV "Alex….. ." I hear someone scream my name. I was so confused about my whereabouts and whose voice was that and how the owner of the voice knows me. Placing both of my hands around my mouth to make my voice sound louder I answered "Who are you ?" "Alex please help me…..!" she cried out. Yes, the voice sounds like a girl's voice. "Where are you? I can't see you " the place was pitch black, turning around, I saw her. It was Star. "Star…. " I whispered and rushed to her side. "Don't come any closer," she screamed I stopped "Star it's me, Alex". She moved backwardwith a dagger in her right hand pointed towards her chest "Don't come any closer or I will kill myself." I was shocked and really confused. "Star relax it's me, Alex. I can help you let me help you. " trying to calm her down. She shakes her head and weeps'' no when you had the chance to save me you didn't save me. " What is she talking about, I know I can go to any length or the ends of the
ALEX'S POV "Stop or I will kill myself," Star shouted Ivy stood up from on top of me and faced Star. I stood up and was dumbfounded by how Star had changed with the presence of the blood moon so Ivy, didn't say a word but was just looking at her, you could see how surprised she was on her face. The wind blew, snatching at her hair, she looked like some kind of spectral being risen from the ashes. She was beautiful and her breath is taken. Her eyes were a different shade of Dark orange mixed with a violet color. She held the knife close to her stomach. I broke out of my trance and took measurable steps toward her"Star, please put the knife down." She held the knife closer to her stomach "don't come close to me. " Ivy rolled her eyes and took a step closer"always dramatic, hand me, knife kid. " "Don't take another step. " Star warned. "Star, please you have to put the knife down, it's dangerous." I pleaded with her. Star lowered the knife a bit "No Alex, I have to end this.
ALEX'S POVThe blood moon is today and oh no……..I looked at Star and the first thing that came to my mind was to untie from that chair and take her away from this place. I bent down to untie her but was stopped by Ivy. She grabbed my hand and dragged me away from her. That lady is really strong, she picked me up from the ground and dragged me across the garage pinning me to the wall. War broke loose in the garage, bodies flying from one corner of the room to the next. Finite's men and my pack were attacked by some unknown men. They came from all angles. Where the hell are they coming from? As they all jumped in, they transformed midway and attacked giving their prey little time to transform and defend themselves. Ethan and Justin came face to face, staring at each other "I knew something was up your sleeves but I didn't expect it to be betrayal Ethan. "Ethan folded his hands and scoffed "whatever, I got tired of Alex's order, he makes me sick." Ethan spat out. Justin got furious
ALEX'S POVWe approached the garage and drove into it. All the lights were on which signifies the presence of someone. Finite and his park were driving behind us. Entering the garage , I could see two people seated on a chair. We parked the car, jumped out of it, and ran to where the two ladies were. The First Lady I saw was seated on a wheelchair, I didn't know her so I moved to the second lady which was Star. She was gagged, her both hands were tied behind together with her legs. Finite rushed to the lady on the wheelchair and cupped her face. She was not gagged but was unconscious, signs of violence could be seen in her face. Her left eye was swollen and purple. Her lips were cracked, bruises could be seen on her right cheek. Who did this to you? Finite asked deep within him. I tried removing the piece of cloth from Star's mouth. She was looking at me and I could see how frightened she was through her eyes, they were watery. Alex, I'm scared. She communicated through her thought
ALEX'S POVI looked at Finite when the lady spoke about Finite and ended the call almost immediately, he was looking back at me. Holding the phone in my hand, I smashed it to the wall taking everyone by surprise. Justin and Ethan both hurried to my side "Hey what happened?"I said nothing, caught in my thoughts. "She has her." Ethan looked at Justin and back at me, everyone present in the room was confused. Finite spoke up"what do you mean?" Looking at no one but the ground, I was trying to put one or two together "someone has both Star and Tracy." "what? And we are just standing here? We need to go find them. '' Finite was eager."Not yet. We need to be prepared for what is in for us. Whoever has them is not someone we would joke with. She can take us by surprise." I stated. Finite was lost in his thoughts, the same as Justin and everyone in the room except Ethan. He looked so cool like nothing was happening. Why is he not bothered or affected by what is happening? I took th
STAR'S POVI don't know how I did it but I did it. I made the sedative given to me by the Doctor wear off from my system before the proposed time. I was dazed at first and drafted into sleep but I woke up within 30minutes. I sat up on the bed and took in my surroundings. I could hear people's voices from the rooms around mine and I could perceive so many scents at once. The revelation I saw from Alex's past is buried deep within my soul. I can't believe he could do that to me, I thought he loved me. I can't go back to that house, everyone betrayed me even Aunt Kate betrayed me. I peeled off the drip fixed on my left hand and threw the bed covers away from my legs. Jumping down from the bed, I almost met the ground face flat but my hands were fast enough to prevent that from happening. I felt strong and felt the sedative wearing off completely from my system. I stood up and was about to leave through the door but I remembered I was wearing a hospital dress, my backside was open. I sca
ALEX'S POVStar lost consciousness on our way to the hospital. Her body temperature was rising fast. Ethan was fast and we reached the hospital in half an hour. Ethan rushed into the emergency unit and I carried Star out of the car. He came back with two nurses and a stretcher. I placed her on the stretcher and she was wheeled into the (ER) emergency room. Ethan and I were sitting in the waiting area.Mum came in 30minutes after our arrival and rushed to my side. "How is she?" I stood up and hugged her "No update".Just then the doctor came out of the emergency room and removed his facemask. I think he wants to address us. " Are you related to Star?""Yes, I'm her fiance," I answered immediately without thinking.He explained Star's condition "She is fine, just a bit stressed and it seems she has not been feeding well?"Mum and I looked at ourselves. I was so caught up with the happenings around me I never knew Star was not feeding well. The doctor added"That's all for now. We will
