Millie's POV "I don't want you to quit doing something that you enjoy, Esme. I just want you to understand that you have a home here, too. I want to be your home. I want to be your person.""But I wouldn't be quitting, though, Kai. I don't want to go on to do higher levels in something I don't enjoy. I just want to do...I don't know, teach around here and start skating lessons here," as soon as the words are out of my mouth, I realise it is genuinely what I want to do. Teach. I would be away from the people who make my life more miserable.He doesn't exactly give me the whole 'yeah, why not do it? Do it? You know I'm going to be supportive of whatever you do, look.'It's more of a sort of you're still 18, nearly 19, and you have your whole life ahead of you kind of luck, you know the song that my dad would give me when I did something completely messed up or didn't listen to what my mum was telling me to do and then face the consequences after that. "Baby girl""Don't baby girl m
Chapter 99: His naked body on mine Millie's POV "But there is something we need to talk about" I instantly hate how bad it sounds. I know I haven't been there. I understand that everything I have done has consequences but everything I have felt over the last few weeks was real right? It was all real. "Everything felt so real" I tell him as we sit on this room. I've been too focused on studying and avoiding every mean girl in the university that I completely neglected my own care. Own health and well-being. "Princess, you haven't been eating. You've survived on fuck knows what over the last few weeks and your body is taking a toll on itself. I was worried about you but you gotta stop pushing me away and talk to me" he says as he dries my hair. Only my mom would ever dry my hair. The lake water is still there, I can smell the fresh air from it and it smells so nice. My body aches and everything in me is ready to argue and fight if needed be but I'm also so exhausted and I just w
Kais POV15 minutes ago-I read everything she wrote down.Twice.At first, I thought she was just writing down her simple feelings but when she wasn't anywhere in the house I knew she would have gone out.I assumed she would have gone for a walk, but it seems that she repressed her wolf to only shift when she wanted to, and I have never seen her shift before. I don't even know what she looks like in her wolf form."Kai?" My mom says. She looks a little pale and quite frantic when she says my name.My mother never gets frantic. She's always been this happy, composed and relaxed woman. Under pressure, she manages to settle situations as well as her duties but when I look at her right now I already know somethings wrong."Mom? What's wrong? Have you seen Millie?" I ask and that's when I hear the howling, the snarling and whimpers to my right."I haven't but two wolves are fighting. Badly" she says. She health with me and my brother fighting, arguing over simple shit that we turned into
Millie's POV'You can control when you change into your wolf Millie. You can turn whenever you want to." I remember on my 17th birthday when our witch told me that I could change and control my wolf but I could still use all my wolf senses and I could still talk to my wolf. She wouldn't weaken and she wouldn't be able to not change but it's been a long time since I shifted.I leave my things in the spare room and climb out of the window to Kai's massive house.Behind the back of the house are woods. I dress lightly so that the clothes I wear can be torn and not be a complete waste.'You ready girl?' I ask my wolf.She's very excited. So happy to be able to run free.'Are you ready Mills? You haven't exactly been yourself lately' she says as she nervously walks around in my head.'I feel alive! I feel like this is so needed' I explain and it's true. I feel like I haven't been alive for the last two weeks. Making myself as quiet as possible I head for the woods. I look over my shoulde
Millie's POVSometimes I like being in my very own little world. I get to forget all the bad that happens in the world and I get to focus on whatever is in my imagination.Like now.I'm sitting in the front passenger seat, Kai's hand on my thigh, but I'm not exactly here in the real world.I can see his lips moving sometimes, and I can feel the tension in his body, but I don't know what else to do. Sasha tipped me over the edge with her usual bitchy self this afternoon so I closed down from everything and everyone.Just how I like it.Apart from the fact that I feel like I'm too closed off from the world, and I don't know how to come back from this world. It scares me sometimes when I feel the pressure in my head."Mills?""Hmm?" I ask him as I continue to look forward, not even wondering if I should be looking his way or not."Baby-Girl, talk to me", he pleads. How does an Alpha male such as himself go from being...well...an Alpha to being this loving person who wants to be there for
Kai's POVI knew something was wrong. I could tell that she wasn't herself when I watched her from afar last week. Distant and cold. Edgy and seeming paranoid, but when she kept cutting my calls, I knew I needed to do something.I started digging into her illness. I remember her father clearly saying that she was bipolar and that she was always suffering emotionally one moment, but then she would feel as though she was on top of the world the next. It was a mystery to me until I was looking through most of the diagnosis charts, symptoms, and experiences that people have had over the years. I had also researched specialists who could help. Being rich is a bonus to my powers of commanding and control.And here I am standing in front of Millie, who is distressed and fragile. She looks skinny and less herself."Baby, when was the last time you cared for yourself?" I ask her, and when she doesn't answer me, I use a commanding tone instead."Millie? Can you please answer the question?" I as
