Lucius's POV:Many things have happened in the past few days. Of course, Alison was in it. I shouldn't agree with this camping if it wasn't for Mandy and David. David seems weird too. They usually hang out but Mandy seems to avoid him. While David on the other hand is getting closer to Alison. Which gives me this stupid feeling of anguish. The day before the contest, I saw the two of them going to the gym. I know I can't face her yet since we had an argument which might make her hate me. However, I followed them silently. Blending to the darkness of the next room before the gym, I listened to their conversations. I shouldn't do this but my Alpha keeps pestering me so I can't sit still.Alison got inside first followed by David who was panting since he rushed here clumsily." Alison, there you are. I'm sorry it took me a long time. I had to set up the tent for them," he explained."Nothing to worry about here." she threw something at David which I can't see since I'm hiding in the next
Lucius's POV:Just when the curtains fell Alison dropped to the floor. I rushed to her to check what happened but I was surprised at how hot her whole body is. Cold sweat was beading on her forehead and her face was completely pale. The makeup couldn't hide the signs of her painful struggle with fever. As her body went limp I quickly went down the stage with her."Alison! Oh my god, what happened?" the cheeky girl who was always next to her greeted us. "Don't block the way something's wrong with her," I shouted nervously.It was my first time being like this. I was always cool-headed, masking my emotions with a poker face. I don't mind people misunderstanding my attitude but today I feel my heart was about to burst like a flooding dam. I don't know what I should do to keep her safe anymore. To not hurt her.'I just... I can't afford to lose her this way.'I felt my eyes water as I panicked to go outside. But someone stopped me which made me ruffled so I almost dropped Alison."What h
Mandy's POV: (A/N: Her first POV I hope you don't mind. 😫)I didn't know how long it started but I was always envious of Alison. We are good friends not until I found out about the engagement between her and David. I was mad and it seriously drives me nuts whenever she's close to my mate. We haven't told her yet that we have been secretly dating for almost a year now. I went to David and asked him about it but he's a coward he can't go against his filthy father's words. The only thing that keeps me sane is the fact that he already imprinted me. We wanted to tell them before the marriage but I got another idea. Instead of telling them, we should get rid of them. I clutched the chair as I scribbled my plans in my notebook. I stopped and looked around my tiny room. This was nothing compared to Alison's room. She had everything. A nice, caring, and loving parent while I got my useless father who is always drunk from the loss of my mother. She's wealthy and so when we graduate I bet sh
Mandy's POV:The contest was in a few more days and my plans are all ready. I bought the wolfsbane during weekends and I went to a town far away from us. I close my phone so I won't be hearing David's nagging. He keeps asking if I'm falling for Lucius. I'm not really into him I'm just seeking my revenge through him. 'It is all according to my plans and if I manage to get wolfsbane then I will be happy.'I already bought it I'm just waiting for the delivery. When the notification popped into my phone I immediately went to the town I put in the delivery address. I'm just glad that even if it came from another country it came in time before the contest. I received money from David so money is less of my problem now. I soon reached the town of Lakome and was a little bit early for the delivery. It took me only two hours since I took the bus.My phone started vibrating and my lively ringtone started singing. I swiped up to see the notification that it will be in my doorway soon. Ten minut
Mandy's POV:The next day we had to go to school to camp for the contest. David and I are in the same section so we went together. Everyone was already busy when we arrived. Most of the participants are still in their classrooms since it is still early. Our class President was shouting because of some nerd who couldn't get his lines done. He was nervous since the play will be tomorrow, and so is my grand plan. I started doing my makeup as well, getting ready for my role. I went downstairs to check my costume when Alison and I bumped into each other. The look of disgust on her face is so visible she doesn't care if someone sees her. I am the star, of course, the lead role of the white swan was the best, and only I deserve it. The boys from another section passed by together with Lucius. They got another boy tucked away. There seems to be an incident but is it an incident? My mind was focused elsewhere. I know to myself that Alison won't just stand there and do nothing that's why I hav
David's POV:Six years ago.......Through the lush green forest, the wind blew peacefully through my whole body. The howls of our clan proudly shout as if to call the gods. A starless night yet it seems the whole surrounding is as bright as it was in the day. "Don't stay too long outside, David. You're still a puppy you might get blown by the night breeze hahaha..." The first shifters laughed as soon as Holo finished his insults. For an Alpha, I was a bit small and wimpy. That's why my father works so hard to keep our place as the leader of the clan by fighting off contenders. One day I will inherit it all that's why I'm also trying hard to keep up. I went outside to run beside my father, as the first shifters recently showed up. He was training them since it will be difficult for them. I was still ten years old and could barely keep up with their stamina."One day I will be as big and strong as my Papa. Hmpf" I sneered at them as I ran back to the forest. "Oh, we didn't mean to be
Alison's POV:It was a dark place. Cold, Wet, and it felt like the cave I was in after I died. Recalling the things that happened to me when I opened my eyes again, I silently wept. "Why are you back again my child?" someone asked. Their voice was familiar and yet unknown for some reason. However, unlike other Alphas this voice felt like I could die if I mock it. Since I couldn't find the source of that voice I answered."Who are you? Where am I?" I was shockingly calm and yet I can't bring myself to be surprised. "I can't answer the first question and neither is the second one. So forgive me." It was soft as if it was whispering in my ears. I should be panicking but I can't help but feel relaxed. "You need to wake up though. I can save you this time, but to save you again after this..." It seems he is hesitating to tell me. Strangely it was like Deja Vu for me. I remained silent waiting for that person to talk again. The stillness was making me agitated since he didn't talk for a
Alison's POV :Streets are filled with scary, weird, and noisy decorations as well as the houses of the humans who celebrate this holiday called Halloween. Children are running around with pumpkin-like baskets as they put makeup and other stuff to look scary. But they actually look cute, especially those who try to imitate us werewolves. The fur isn't too convincing as well as the nose but their howl could pass the standards of a newly shifted one. On the other hand, I like dressing up as a vampire. My friend from the vampire community always gets mad whenever I put on long fangs and capes. It was always hilarious to see him get upset over these things. But this time I wasn't wearing a vampire costume. Instead, my classmates put me in a mermaid costume. The tail can be split so it would look like a gown when I stand up. Oh, I forgot to mention we are having a party at school tonight. The human students were so adamant about hosting one year that it became a tradition in this town."D
⚠️ Warning!!!⚠️ Note: Some scenes might contain violence. Read at your own risk!Alison's POV:I woke up earlier than expected from my alarm so I set off to prepare for school. I stalled a bit in the kitchen but I remember the girls would go to the cafeteria today so I took off. "Sweetie you're not eating breakfast?" my mom called from the kitchen."No Mom, my friends and I will eat at school. See ya later." I waved goodbye as I heard her bid me farewell too. On my way to school, I saw police cars at the second victim's place. People are clamoring as they gather around someone."Yeah, that's right take her away. Lock her up!" someone shouted. Two officers are pushing them away while the other one is pulling a girl in handcuffs out of the house. Another guy was trying to break free from the crowd shouting something."She's not the killer I did it. Please take me away instead." he desperately demanded."Shut up kid go home. We run your identity in the records and it's not you. She al
Alison's POV :My ears twitched when I heard someone's footsteps. I couldn't find anywhere to hide so I prepared myself. In one swift motion, I kicked as high as I could to knock down whoever it was. "You're not allowed here. Why are you here?" his raspy voice speaks out. Though I was more surprised that he caught my kick. "I know detective, but I wouldn't stand by knowing that my father is in trouble. You still haven't caught the real culprit so I'm just helping you guys." I said nonchalantly. I jumped backward and carefully watched his movements. "Don't look at me like some weak prey you're about to eat. Your father was already released so why are you still doing this?" he asked. Smacking his chapped lips in dismay, he narrowed his eyes at the backpack in my hand. "What is that? Are you collecting evidence or are you ruining the crime scene?" His eyebrow raised into a questioning look. "I told you I'm doing my investigation. Otherwise, my father will still be threatened while t
Alison's POV:Although they lowered their voices I can still hear Mom and the investigator's conversation. I wanted to know who framed my father after all. I immediately run upstairs to eavesdrop on their discussion, locking my room in case that suspicious human decided to barge in."He was seen going out of the house the night someone reported the murder. All we can say is that he is the prime suspect in this case as of now." the detective said."How can you be so sure he's the one who did it if you don't have any solid proof to back up your claims? We can sue you if it happens my husband is innocent." My mother gritted her teeth in fury. 'Oh no don't lose your temper mom and shift out in front of this stupid human. He's the one who believes the werewolves did it.' "That is why I came to ask you in private Mrs. Carter." his tone lowers down almost like an incoherent whisper. The seriousness made me sweat even more and anxiously in anticipation."What time did your husband return on
Alison's POV:Sunday morning I heard a knock on the door. My parents were out since they both ended up going to meetings at work. I abruptly got on the couch as I was busy locating shows that would pique my interest."Hello good morning missy. Are your parents present at the moment?" The officer with a ponytail asked. Two police officers were at the front door I saw their car parked outside. I got anxious since my parents are not there."They're not here as of now. Why? Did something happen?" I inquired since there seems to be a ruckus down the road."Nothing much missy but if you are alone these days better lock your windows and doors. A robbery took place on the 5th corner of Dawson Street. Just be careful on your own." The older officer warned.I bid them farewell and a thank you as well. But since I got nothing to do I quickly take my jacket and the keys. I texted mom that I will be out for a while and so I left the house soon. Taking my bicycle, I circled the block where the acci
Mandy's POV:"One...Two...Three..." I whispered as we get ready. Footsteps approached and the painstaking waiting was about to end. My heart thumped in excitement as the door creaks open. "SURPRISE!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVID!!!" I scream at the top of my lungs. The poppers already popped but there was no response coming from him. I open my eyes since it was dark before he entered. Now with the open lights, I couldn't fathom the person standing in front of me."Alison?! Why are you here? Where's David?" I asked her. 'And why do you smell like him? This b*tch hugged him again grrr.'Annoyed that the surprise I patiently crafted ended up for naught. "He said he will be here in a couple of minutes. Wait let me call him." she fumbles for the phone in her pocket. "Wait! I hear someone's footsteps." I shushed her before pushing her inside. I realized the scent as soon as the open doors so I elbowed Alison. Good thing she's not too stupid that she quickly caught on. "One...Two...Three..." I
Mandy's POV:We were still kids and I still don't know what a true mate is. But there was a connection already. Whenever I see David I see sparks fly. My heartbeat suddenly quickens its pace as if running all day. My body heats up yet I don't have the flu. I felt icky when I saw Alison constantly hanging around him. I thought it was only me but David seems to feel the pull between us as well. "Hello, Mandy. You look great today. See ya." David greeted me as he passed by. My cheeks darkened up like a beetroot. "Hello, Mandy. Good day to you." Alison greeted me before she walks past me and grabs David's arm like it was hers. All I could do was grit my teeth in disdain as I watch her filthy hands all over my man.'MY MATE!' My Beta talked out to me. Carla, David's mom keeps coming back to check on me. She provided me with all the things I needed for school and other daily necessities. That made my day. Whenever she visits we would go to different places with David. There would be time
Mandy's POV:I woke up in an unfamiliar room. Unlike the small space that I occupy in my own house, this was not my room. The strange room that I'm currently in is two times softer than the piece of sheet that I used to lay with. Expensive furniture is decorated with gold and covered with intricate sparkling gems. The floor and the walls are painted in deep blue and have beautiful designs that one looks there's no mistake a noble person inhabiting the place. "I see you are fully awake now." I followed the familiar voice. He was standing at the doorway looking at me curiously."What happened? How did I get here?" I quickly ask him. Although I have many questions lingering inside my head, I just ask the first one that comes to mind. "Students are bullying you again so I stepped up to stop them from beating the hell out of you. You are quite courageous out there. Why did you provoke them when you fully know it will only result in violence?" he shrugged. The person who was standing ther
Mandy's POV :The room was devastating. Broken glasses, garbage everywhere, and that God-forsaken stench that feels like it's punching my nose. Of course, the reason for this sorry state of my home would be my stupid father. He came home last night drunk that's why the whole place was trashed. I quickly left home to avoid being a punching bag again. Then went to stay at the pack house. David and his father weren't there so I sneaked into David's room. His scent was all over the place and I can't help but breathe it in and rub it to myself. The next morning I showed up at home. Father is long gone by morning so I can peacefully prepare myself for school.Too much happened after the contest. Lucius would often not see me and he won't be at his apartment where I can stay at least to hang out for a bit before going home. His sister would be there but she would always lock her room so I got bored immediately. I was still pissed off with David that's why I'm not seeing him these days. He wa
Alison's POV:Ever since that night, Alan and I hang out more frequently. I started to get back on my feet and I feel invigorated. Julia and Shirley would often visit me and we will go to the mall before the weekend starts. The thoughts of Lucius slowly drift away, as if being pushed at the back of my mind. My Omega started to talk to me as well since she thinks Alan is also a suitable partner. It was all perfect and we were walking toward the mall with my friends when I saw Lucius. I quickly excuse myself so I can follow him. I don't even know why?When I was about to tap him he suddenly turned back. Unfortunately, he was not Lucius. 'Am I hallucinating or something?'"I'm sorry it seems I mistook you for someone." I bowed before abruptly leaving. Then again, I saw him again turning to a corner just next to the elevator. Whenever I'm catching up it turns out it was another guy."I'm sorry I thought you were someone I knew." I quickly apologize.I was going to ignore it when I saw hi
