DEXTER?!!!!!!"They're gone?I had only decided to visit them this morning since they wouldn't talk to me but the door was open.At first, I thought they had gone for a distance, not until I realized their school bag, toys, a few clothes as well, and the cookies I made last night were missing.Where could they be?My heart is in utter disarray, my thoughts webbed like tangled threads. How… where could they have gone?"Don't worry, we'll find them," Dexter tells me.I panic searching the room when a white piece of paper catches my attention. It's a note."We're running far away," is scribbled on it with such angry strokes of crayon."Dexter!" I yell out his name, and instantly he runs inside with worry.I hit him with the note in his chest, my feelings with both anger and resentment, "now you tell me what happened last night.""Nothing happened okay," he yells back.Speechless I stare at him, unable to comprehend how stubborn he is. He's hiding something, his excessive sighs and cold s
Everything began the moment I trusted Dexter with the kids and left for my office.Seeing my office all nice and clean, I can tell my *ssistant’s done a nice job before leaving but… “Where is she?”With this question lingering on my mind, I hurry over to her space in search of her, perhaps she is waiting for me over there, so I believe.“H ey, did I make you wait…?”I’m greeted by pitch-black darkness all around so I hurry to turn on the light, “she’s not here.” I mutter to myself.I can’t help but feel uneasy as I race back to my office to get my phone dialing, dialing her number at once as I intend to get to the bottom of things.The phone rings twice, but there’s no response. At once my anxiety spikes up as I start to worry about her safety, “one more time,” I tell myself calling her line once more.“Hmm, he11o Miss Vida,” she answers with a bit of surprise in her voice.“Where are you? Did you wait too long before you went home?” I ask.“What… are you talking about Miss Vida?”Unc
Dexter's POVI can tell she has doubt, it's written all over her eyes with that scoff of mockery hiding her anger. I can't say I don't deserve this treatment but I must admit the look she's giving hurts."Oh really, you can sense where the kids are and you didn't say anything about this all this while?" Vida asks."As their father, it's something I'm able to do thanks to the wolf bond between us, and also because they're werewolves. I should be able to find them if they are still in the pack." I say to Vida who looks relieved before rushing in to bring the car keys herself.She's not giving me any chance to redeem myself."Then what are you waiting for? Let's go find them." Vida says while I follow her closely behind the car before driving out.Deep within me as I drive, my thoughts run while. The closer I drive the farther their link gets, I can't tell her because she'd panic.I secretly fear that something bad may have happened to the kids or someone had gotten their hands on them b
Dexter's POVI stare at Vida who looks everything but happy as she immediately turns away at the question asked, "...that won't happen," I say to them, deep within me the sentence ending with, "for now," echoes throughout my mind."I… I want to do my best for them.""I'll do what I promised okay?" I say to them."Yes papa," they both echoed, rushing to hug me tightly. At long last, they decided to embrace me after avoiding me all day. "We have to go home now." I smile at them and stand.My gaze directs to Raphael who tucks his hands into his pocket silently watching us."I can ask a driver to take you home if you want." He says and I inwardly scoff.What is he, blind? Does he think we walked miles away from home on foot or is he trying to provoke me?"I'd like to take you up on that offer," I say to him, "but… you see we wouldn't want to leave our car behind so it's unfortunate but I would have to refuse your offer."He smiles politely and nods.There's no way he'd expect me to believ
Dexter's POV"Alpha Dexter." A knock on the door distracts my attention from the papers before me, making me lean back in my chair as the door is pushed open and one of the staff walks in. "Sorry to disturb you. You must be busy.""What is it?" I question as he bows apologetically before pointing at a file towards me and I take it from him."The invitation for the New Moon festival has been sent out since last week and every alpha and their Lunas will be arriving in the pack. Some of them requested your audience," he informs me as I scan through the list of Alphas and their Lunas around for the festival."Tch!" I click my tongue.Vida is human, there's no doubt they want to see her so they can mock me, just look at their numbers.I had expected this much turn up since I'm the one holding the festival ball this year. They would want any opportunity to meet with me to discuss one thing or two to favour them and most likely want to see who Vida is so they can weigh her worth."I don't se
Linda's POVA frown is plastered on my face as I am informed about Dexter taking Vida to the ceremony instead of me.How would I attend the ball without the alpha since I've been attending all these years, without Dexter?The eyes that would stare at me in mockery frightens me.What irritates me more than anything is that I had to overhear this conversation from the kitchen rather than his own lips.If I didn't eavesdrop I would have never got to find out about it, I would have clumsily begged to go with him like a fool.To think those two were kissing.I couldn't stand the mere sight of them so I left first thing in the morning."That fu*king leacher…!!!" I bet she must have done something."That witch. Once I get my hands on her, I'd make sure she regrets going after what's not hers." I grit my teeth angrily."He was never ours in the first place. Have you seen the way he looks at her? He's in love with her." My wolf says.Angrily, I grab a nearby vase, smashing it on the floor as I
Vida's POVThe past few days have been beyond stressful as I have to deal with all the information on the do's and don'ts of a Luna since I will be attending as one.At first I thought I could study everything but it's been nothing but he11 for the past three days straight."Would I really be needing all of these?" I want to ask but my mouth is sealed shut as I'm overwhelmed with fear and caution.I can't screw this up, not now of all times."Tomorrow is the big day madam, you may not be ready but you seem to have mastered the specifics" my tutor says.I stare at her, unsure how exactly I would process her words, is she trying to mock me or praise me? I'm not very certain but if anything my gut tells me this woman's making a jest of me.She bow's her head slightly with a bright smile on her face, a look of mockery if I may say, "the dress fitting is scheduled to hold this afternoon, I have been instructed to help you with the whole process."Great!Not really!"Yes but can we extend i
Vida's POVI stand before the ornate mirror, my heart aflutter with anticipation for the ball that is about to start.My long hair cascaded in loose waves down my back, their fiery hues catching the soft candlelight. It was decorated with silver ornaments but still, it looked very simple.I couldn't help but smile at the sight of my hair. Dexter had specifically told the maids to make it simple and beautiful since it was my first appearance as Luna."This will fit you perfectly," the sales girl says, holding out another dress.Contrary to my first visit, they've warmed up to me much more than I had expected.I guess money talks."Please we've tried on so many already," I respond but the girls remain adamant about it, shaking their heads in refusal as they forcefully hand over the dress."Alright, but this is the last one okay," I tell them.They grin in excitement and help me to get changed.At last, I set down the gown gently.It's the seventh gown now, good thing they say seven is a
