Ella's POV"You shouldn't have done that." I said to the boys as soon as we got home."Mum," he groaned, trying to argue.I raised a finger up at him and shook my head. "Don't give me that, young boy.""He needed a lesson, mum. You can't blame Nathan for giving him what his parents neglected to give him." Neo sighed, looking at me as I was the villain here."Yes, mum." Nick added. "He should be commended as a hero and not you rebuking him like a thug, mum. You saw how the students at the school clapped for Nathan. Why can't you be like that?"I sighed. This wasn't what I was hoping for."You could have been in trouble." I reminded Nathan, staring at him. "Why wouldn't I be mad at you when you could have gotten yourself in trouble?""I'm stronger than he is. I'm a werewolf and know I could have beaten him up." Nathan insisted, a stubborn set to his jaws."Which is why I'm rebuking you." I sighed, settling in on one of the chairs in the living room. "You could have gotten him injured an
Ella's POVI was in a panic all through the day, afraid of what was going to happen at the end of it. I couldn't sit still. I knew Kevin and Liam were also afraid but they didn't have their fears boldly written on their faces like I did. They were masters at pretending to be calm and I didn't think I could ever get to that level that they were in. I just couldn't, no matter how hard I tried to reach it.I should have known this was coming soon when Nathan had flown into a rage and beaten up that boy over his refusal to apologize. I should have prepared for this day if not that I had been distracted with finding the girl as soon as we could.I wondered what kind of mother I was becoming if I was willing to let my kids be a nuisance around here. I was a werewolf mother with werewolf kids living in a mortal world, I shouldn't have forgotten about a day like this."What was wrong with me?" I muttered softly under my breath."Now, you are being too hard on yourself." Kevin said.I glanced
Ella's POVKevin told me everything that happened when I woke up and I sighed. It seemed like living in the human world was going to take on more toil than I had expected. There wasn't how we could stop the boys from yelling the house down next month when the full moon is near unless I was willing to gag their mouths while they shifted and I wasn't ready to do that.I wasn't about to give my boys the trauma they couldn't deal with."What do you think of?" Kevin asked as he walked behind me while I was making dinner.I jumped, smiling as he wrapped his hand around my waist. "Hey! Don't sneak up on me like that.""You know you love it. You can't be playing hard to get now, Ella. We are mated.""Do you have to make me repeat how many times I want you so you know I do? You know I wasn't playing hard to get." I chuckled."Yes. Yes. I want you to keep telling me how much you love me so I can know. I don't know so please tell me.""You are too old to have me stroke your ego." I fired back at
Ella's POVOh! I needed a break. I needed to feel the breeze move past my face. The house wasn't stuffy as the air conditioner was working and the whole apartment was cold but I wanted to be out still. I needed the fresh air on my skin and in my lungs. I wasn't going for a run so I wouldn't be able to get the breeze flying past my hair and flowing fast and hard into my nostrils as I wanted but I was going to take what I wanted for now.I was sure Lucy wouldn't mind as well. She must definitely need the breeze more than I did. She hadn't been out in days so I knew that she was feeling more cooped than I was. I knew what was making me antsy due to the many unsuccessful attempts to find the girl and the time was ticking. We were already here for more than three weeks and this was starting to feel like a fruitless vacation to me. I was starting to think that the red witch had given us the wrong map and had been wrong with either the destination address to where we were going or we had the
Ella's POVOh! The walk was great. I had enjoyed feeling the breath on my face and my bones felt stretched. It was getting late and I didn't want to stay out too late. I had heard a lot of the dangers of staying out late in the human world especially for a lady walking alone in the dark. Even though I knew I could protect myself, I wasn't willing to take the risk of getting attacked. I didn't want to generate the attention that would come if people saw a young lady flipping off an attacker on his back without efforts.I walked back to the house and saw a silhouette hanging around the door. I wondered who that was again. Was today a day for everyone of them to come and check us out? I wondered if I had to consider giving the neighborhood gossip an allowance for the job that I didn't send her that she was doing.I walked faster to the house so I could check out who was at the door."Excuse me?" I asked as I walked behind the person I could tell was a lady now.She turned and I gasped as
Ella's POVI kept wondering if I got Gabby's home address right as I had never had a reason to come to this part of the street. Asides, from going to supermarkets and schools to find the little girl, I didn't go out much. Our house was closer to the road so I only had to walk a bit to the road to find a cab. I never had to come down here.I hoped that we weren't going to get ourselves lost and waste too much time finding the house as we were already late. I realized a few minutes later that I didn't have to bother my head with worry as we found the house just as we walked down the street. Her house screamed her name and her personality I smiled as we walked towards it, certain that I making a mistake.I knocked gently on the door and waited. I could hear soft music streaming through the door and the voices of guests so I didn't have to wonder if we were at the right place again. I knew with a certainty that didn't need to be challenged even though she hadn't opened the door yet.The d
Ella's POVMelody stood before us and curtsied gracefully like the princess that she looked like. "Thank you for attending my party." She said even before her mother said anything about who we were to her.Her voice was just like her name; melodious and it sounded like angels were singing solemnly right where I was. I wondered how she would sound like if she was singing.I wasn't a witch but I could sense why the red witch wanted to protect this girl and decided we had to be the one to do it. If the ones who wanted to hurt her was from our world, it wasn't a surprise why they would want her. There was a certain glow around her that would excited the evil people in our world. Even though I wasn't a witch or wizard, I could tell at first glance that she was different.It wasn't about her voice, her manners or her beautiful face, it was her essence. She was pure and evil was always attracted to her kind.I loved the girl immediately and I vowed at that moment that I was going to do every
Kevin's POVI could hear everything Ella was discussing with Gabby from where I was. To an outsider, Liam and I looked like we were having fun sipping juice and watching the kids have fun but what we were actually doing was far from it. We were being detectives the way Ella was.It wouldn't be easy for Ella to quiz Gabby and ask her the name of the school her daughter attended if we were there. It would be awkward so we had to leave so Gabby could be fooled into thinking that she was having a harmless woman to woman chitchat with Ella instead of feeling like she was being interrogated by a family.I knew that Ella was going to ask about Melody's school the moment she had the opportunity to and she didn't disappoint me. I smiled as I listened to the women talk, knowing Liam was also doing the same."Dad!" Neo chuckled as he ran towards me, breaking into my concentration.Damn, I hadn't gotten to know the school Melody attended. I wasn't bothered too much about that as I knew I would ge
Maya's POVI looked back at the door with panic as I packed my stuff into a bag. I had to leave here soon if I wanted to stay alive. Those sly girls. I shouldn't have trusted them. They had gone to the palace to check out my story and ended up telling the palace guards what I had told them and now, those ones were at the door threatening to break it down if I didn't open up and follow them to the palace at the order of the alpha's father."Open this door, Maya. We know you are in there." The head guard roared.I shook my head, forcing myself to remain calm through the hysteria I felt. I wouldn't be tricked. They couldn't have known I was in here. I had seen them from afar before they got to the door and rushed to my bedroom to pack my stuff. I had been moving silently through the bedroom as I packed my stuff and dumped them into a travel bag. There was no way they could have heard me even with their supernatural hearing."Maya, by the order of the alpha, we demand that you open this d
Melody's POV"How did you find me?" I asked once we were back to safety."I got to where we were to meet but didn't find you. I was looking for you with Neo and Nick when I heard you scream and knew something was wrong. I called dad and we traced your scent." Nathan said.I shook my head. Everything he said was confusing. He couldn't have heard me when I was far away. How could he have traced my scent when he didn't have a dog with him?""You brought a dog?" I asked."A dog?" Nick asked, looking confused."You said you traced my scent. Didn't you do that with a dog?"The boys looked at one another and laughed. "I thought you just heard dad say we were werewolves."My eyes rounded with surprise. I wondered how many surprises I was going to have to deal with today. "He wasn't kidding. I thought he was only trying to scare the witch.""My dad doesn't make empty threats."I sucked in a breath. "You are really werewolves? Can you prove it?"The boys looked unsettled. "I don't think that is
Melody's POV"Why didn't you use the drug I gave you?" She asked.I frowned, wondering what she was talking about. "Which drug?"She snorted. "The drug I gave the other day when you complained of headaches.""I told you I used it.""You lied to me that day and I knew it. If you had used the drug, you would have been dead in the next five minutes after using it."I went pale. "I'm glad I didn't use it.""You left me no choice but to do this. I was trying to make your death painless but I guess you love pain." She smiled."Why do you want to kill me?" I didn't understand her. How could a little girl like her think of killing me?"Why do you hate sweets?""It's bad for me.""Good." She cackled. "I want to kill you because you are bad for me. You can't be allowed to grow up. You would ruin my plans.""How can you know what would happen to me in the future?""Because I know." She smirked and right before my eyes, started changing until she became a grown woman with gnarled fingers and an u
Melody's POVThe school trip was boring, more than I thought it would be. It wasn't that I had great hopes for it but I hated how I was disappointed.This wasn't it. The teachers should have just given us a free day and told us to stay at home if they didn't want to teach today rather than bringing us to a place as dry as this.The other kids were playing a game to pass the time but I wasn't interested in it. The game was boring to me as well. I stayed off from them so they wouldn't drag me into their boring game against my wish."Why are you here alone?" Nathan asked as he walked towards me.He was alone and I wondered where his brothers were."I was bored. This place is dry." I replied. "I want to go home."He chuckled. "I know. Me too. I can't believe I was looking forward so much to this.""I wasn't." I confessed.He nodded. "Too bad that we can't go home until the teachers say we can.""Why don't we play a game together?" I asked, gearing with excitement as the idea popped into m
Nathan's POVEve was back immediately the teacher left. "Aren't you excited about the trip? There is so much we can get done."I snorted. So much like what? The girl was too strange for my liking. I had been focused on the dangers of the school trip and didn't remember that Eve was here until she popped her unwanted face again.She turned to Melody, ignoring my snort. "How does your head feel now? Have you taken the drug?" She asked."Yes, my head feels better now. Thank you.""You used the drug?" Eve asked, confirming she had heard right."Yes." Melody lied. The drug was on the ground, under her shoe."I didn't see you take it.""Were you watching her?" I frowned."I was worried about her." Eve replied."I took it immediately you turned your back and walked back to your seat. I slipped it into my mouth then."Eve stared at Melody for a long time, looking as if she didn't believe her. Eventually, she nodded to herself and walked back to her seat without a word.I frowned. "You should
Maya's POVI was brimming with excitement and anxiety that both emotions bothered on hyperactivity. I felt like a child again. I felt like I was finally living after all these days of feeling dead and numb.Who could have believed that it was Kevin and Ella who made me go numb and dead inside and it was also because of them that I would feel alive again?I was excited. This was my chance to get back at Kevin for breaking my heart and Ella for stealing the position that belonged to me.I loved karma. I couldn't believe it was finally working for me after all these years and deciding to fight on my behalf. They shouldn't have messed with me. In Kevin's next life, I hoped he would think twice before hurting another female.The only person I felt for in this revenge scheme of mine was Liam but I didn't care much about him as much as I cared about what I was to do. He was going to be affected as he was always by Kevin's side and also going to be heartbroken as he was an annoyingly loyal be
Neo's POVMelody had to be kidding me. How could she have brought another person into our circle? This wasn't the time to get friendly with strangers. She didn't even know this girl for up to a day and she was already being friends with her and having her eat with us. I couldn't believe her guts. She was unbelievable.For all I knew, this girl was not an ordinary girl. I forced myself to calm down, reminding myself that she didn't know of the dangers that lay ahead of her. She didn't know that she had to be careful and was being her usual bubbly self. It wasn't her fault that I had begun to suspect everyone and everyone that crossed my path. It wasn't her fault at all.I looked at Eve and wondered if she was oblivious to how my brothers and I felt about her or was just trying to be stubborn. She would have known since that we weren't open to her being here with our scowls and I thought that she would have excused herself.Wouldn't it be better for her to leave and eat alone than eat h
Melody's POV"Can we eat lunch together?" She suddenly asked, just before we got to class."I... I uh..." I didn't know what to say. I didn't know how to tell her that I already made plans for lunch so it wouldn't seem like I was trying to reject her."I am not trying to do anything." She began.I frowned, wondering what she meant by that. I never said she was trying to do anything.She continued. "The thing is, I have a lot of friends at the school where I transferred from and I'm not used to eating alone. You seem kind and moreover, you were the first person to smile at me here and that was why I thought that we could be friends. I only asked if we could eat lunch together because I already see you as a friend."I sighed. She was extremely chatty but I preferred that to her crying. I understood what she was trying to say and found myself nodding in agreement before thinking it through. I knew how much it sucked to eat alone in a large gathering of people. It was awkward feeling to f
Melody's POVThe boys had adapted to being my friends again and I was relieved that I didn't have to worry about them suffocating me with their overprotectiveness."Where should we hang out during break time?" I asked them as we saw one another in the morning and moved towards the school entrance."Take care of yourself, kids." Uncle Liam said and waved as he turned and walked away from us."Should we hang out in the garden?" Neo suggested. "I love the smell of flowers.""Me too." I agreed, smiling at them. "I also love flowers." I also loved being in the garden with the boys. They knew so much about flowers that I always learn something new from them. I wondered where they had learned about flowers from.The bell rang to signify the start of the classes and I watched as our homeroom teacher walked in, with a new student by her side.The girl seemed shy and I felt my heart move towards her. I remembered how nervous I had been on my first day here as well, wondering what my new classma
