WHITNEY'S POVI was jolted from my sleep by the alarm clock. I quickly turned it off and glanced at the time. It was 3:00 am. Although I was feeling tired and drowsy, I had to get up and prepare for my trip. I stretched my body and sat up for a few seconds. Then, I got up from the bed and stripped off my night dress. I walked sluggishly into the bathroom and quickly had a shower.After drying my body, I walked back into the room and took my body lotion on top of drawer. I quickly applied it on my entire body and slipped into my undies. I picked up the blue flowery dress I hung by the window that I had set aside to wear for my trip. It was one of my favorite dresses. I slipped into the dress and sprayed perfume on it and some parts of my body. I then hurriedly brushed my hair. After I had finished brushing my hair, I brought down the rucksack I want to travel with which was on top of the wardrobe.I opened the bag and gazed at my clothes that
MARTIN'S POVI walked into the living room of the alpha's mansion feeling exhausted and drowsy due to the all-night birthday party I had with my friends.I saw two of the maids cleaning the living room and I greeted them. They responded with a smile. I started going up the stairs as I thought of Whitney. Whitney ought to be working with the maids but the alpha has given her a week off because of the abortion that she is going for. According to the alpha, after the abortion today, she will be given six more days to recuperate which makes the total number of days one week. I stepped into the hallway and stopped in my tracks. I glanced at my wristwatch. The time was 6:05 am. Gosh! The alpha said he will be leaving for the hospital with Whitney by 7 am and I told him as well as Whitney that I'm going to the hospital with them. I need to get prepared as fast as possible.I started walking down the hallway as my mind was filled with the thoughts of my sister.
MARTIN'S POVAs I sat on the floor of Whitney's room crying, I thought of all the times we shared right from when we are kids till yesterday night when I saw her last. I recalled that she was downcast throughout yesterday and I did my best to make her happy. Suddenly, it dawned on me that she was probably downcast yesterday because she had planned to run away from home today.I recalled when I came to see her in the afternoon and spent some time with her but when I told her that I will be going to the birthday party and might not see her till today, she begged me to come and see her again before I leave for the party. I recalled how over-emotional she was when I came to see her yesterday late in the evening before I left for the party. I just could not comprehend why Whitney who I have always known to be strong suddenly became a crybaby. It was quite unlike her to be that emotional. I knew there was something troubling her that she was hiding from me and that was w
WHITNEY'S POVAfter leaving the nosey woman I met on my way to the bus station, I got there at a couple of minutes to five. Because my mind has been occupied with so many thoughts, I have forgotten to find out the time the earliest bus to Nashville comes to the station. I became worried and hoped it has not arrived and left before I got there. As for the bus fares, although I don't know how much it is, I wasn't worried cos I know the money with me can get me to Nashville and I will still have some money left because I know that Montgomery was not too far from Nashville. However, I realized that I need some information as regards my journey, so, I need to find someone to ask. My eyes swept across the bus station and I saw seven passengers who were obviously waiting for the bus. There were four men and three women sitting on the bus station waiting chairs. By the left side of the waiting chairs, I saw a ticket counter and a young lady was sitting behind a desk and w
WHITNEY'S POVMy heart was in my mouth as I was hearing the footsteps of my brother and Alpha Don coming toward the trash can I was hiding behind. I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me that if I'm caught, I will be taken straight to the hospital and my pregnancy will be aborted. Aside from that, the Alpha is bound to punish me. Of course, I know my brother and parents will berate me so much. As their footsteps approaches the trash can, I was filled with fear and was quivering but tried as much as possible not to make any sound.Oh, Moon Goddess, help me, I prayed in my heart."Martin, it's obvious that she is not here and we can't keep looking for her this way. I think we need to go to the police station to make a report," Alpha Don said. "Alpha Don, you know the ticket agent said she ran towards this direction and it was shortly before we arrived, so, I don't think she could have gone far. Maybe, she is hiding somewhere," Martin said. "If she is hiding somewhere, it's obvious is
WHITNEY'S POVAs the bus sped on the highway, I was agitated cos my mind was in turmoil until after about an hour when I began to calm down. I wondered how my brother and the Alpha will react when they get to the bus station with the police and realized that the bus to Nashville have left and I believe they will know that I left with the bus.I imagined how angry my brother will be with the Alpha cos he didn't want to go to the police station with him but the alpha coerced him. I recall he even suggested to wait at the bus station till the bus to Nashville arrives while Alpha Don goes to the police station alone but the Alpha refused. I guess now that I have left, my brother will blame Alpha Don for giving me the chance to leave Montgomery. Anyway, I'm glad that Alpha Don insisted that my brother goes to the police station with him cos if he had stayed back at the bus station while Alpha Don goes to the police station alone, there is no way I would have been
WHITNEY'S POVI woke up an hour later on the bus and I was feeling hungry. I looked at the girl sitting beside me. She was still engrossed in reading her novel. Considering the brief conversation we had earlier, I thought she was amiable. I felt pangs of hunger and dipped my hand into the nylon containing the box of cakes. I brought out the box and opened it which was the first time I opened it since the cook gave it to me. There were yummy-looking small cakes of about twenty in number. I picked up one and took a bite. It tasted very nice and I started eating it with relish. The girl sitting beside me turned to look at me and we made eye contact. Then she averted her eyes to look at the box of cakes in my left hand. I stretched out my hand containing the box of cake and said, "Please, have some.""Oh, thank you," she said and took two pieces of cake."Will two be enough for you? You can see that the cakes are many, so, you can take more," I said."You are very kind. Thank you," s
WHITNEY'S POVAfter some seconds of gazing at each other, the seeming spell that held us spellbound was broken. My eyes swept over him again and to my surprise, I felt a flood of emotions overpowering my senses. My heart started racing and my breathing accelerated. A warm feeling I have never experienced rushed through my body and I became nervous as I gazed at him. What is wrong with me? Why I'm I feeling this way? I have never felt like this about a man. Even though I have met many good-looking men in my life, I only admire them or sometimes lust for them but I have never been overwhelmed with so many emotions all at once which I find very strange. Aside from his good looks which I find very appealing, I was struck by the realization that he was a werewolf and it made me feel a little bit more at ease with him. I guess his height to be six feet, four inches tall and I guessed his age to be between twenty-seven to twenty-nine. "Young girl, what are you doing here?" he
