TROUBLE IN THE CAFE II
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56"What the hell girl! Are you trying to give us all a heart attack, rather than coffee?!" The guy with pink dyed spiky hair shrieked, staring at her in bewilderment and anger.
Emma thought that he would have looked handsome a bit if he hadn't decided to go power ranger on his hair. The other guy with short, but curly black hair, had a surprised but amazed look on his face. She wondered why he hadn't ordered for the rest, or perhaps call their attention earlier as she had stood there.
Maybe the bottom ass of the clique. She thought. A son to an average father, who perhaps caught the attention of one of the girls or the other boy. Oddly, she pitied him. No one deserved to be bitched around.
The three girls still had the shocked look on their faces. Ugly dunces. She thought.
"What did you do that for?" The third girl whom hadn't said anything since the charade began asked. Emma thought she oozed a more d

THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION HEARING THOUGHTS
"You seem to have a knack for attracting undue attention." Emma heard Professor Perkins say, as she opened her eyes to see that she had actually landed on his arms, and not on the floor. She sighed in relief, her eyelids closing of their own accord, not wanting to think or ponder on what would have happened if she had landed with that large force on the floor. She would have broken some bones surely. She knew that the red-black haired girl had been behind the gust of wind that had lifted her up. Powerful! She thought, still shocked that she was stuck in between mysterious things that only happened in story books. She wondered what her sister would think of this. Well, Amelia for one, won't believe her, unless she came out with proofs."Comfortable that much…?" She heard Professor Perkins say, and sighed again. The man was a pompous jerk. But she knew that she owed him some thanks. Opening her eyes, she bit her lips unconsciously, a bit nervous
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION HEARING THOUGHTS II
Emma untied her work apron from her waist, while thinking of the strange request she had made to her history professor. She had pleaded with him to keep on with the hypnotism he had placed on the people in the café, while she rushed inside to gather her stuff. She didn't want to be assailed by their thoughts again. And she wanted to go home.She let out a deep breath as she dropped the apron in the cabinet meant for it. Day by day, things were getting out of her control. She thought, picking up her back pack from the brown tiled floor. Her history professor was something she didn't know of, other than what she knew of his powers, just like the other five. She had tried to get his identity by trying to read off the thoughts of the five, but she had discovered that she couldn't. She wondered why. She also couldn't hear the thoughts of her professor again, after she had cited that migraine had been the cause of her discomfort."Did he fi
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION MIND LESSON
When Emma passed by a group of teenagers playing football in a yard mechanically and the cloth store without holding her head in pain or hearing thoughts other than hers, she knew that her history professor had granted her second favor. He had kept up the hypnotism. And for that, she was highly relieved and grateful. He was quite considerate. She thought with a small smile fanning her lips.She shifted her gaze from the cloth store to her professor, whose eyes were straight ahead. She noticed that his face was strained and pale. She felt bad then, knowing that keeping up the hypnotism, dispensing his power that way, was draining him of his strength. She wondered if she should tell him to stop, but the memory of what had happened in the café zapped through her mind, and she shivered. She didn't want a repeat of that. She would refuse to allow herself feel guilty until they reach the house. She trusted that Melvina, with her uncommon cooking skills, w
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION MIND LESSON II
Emma let out a smile, then a chuckle, then a full blown laughter as she descried that she wasn't hearing those plaguing foreign thoughts again."I did it." She muttered over and over again, as she stood up from the bench, still laughing intermittently as she processed her recent achievement.It hadn't been as easy as she had thought. She had imagined the picture and had held it strongly quite alright, but she hadn't foreseen the terrible impact or force that the foreign thoughts had had on her mind immediately her professor had released his hypnotism effect on the area. It had been brutal; the pain had been brutal. It had been like her brain cells were about to explode out of much information to process. She had almost let go of the imagery on her mind if not for the soothing words of encouragement from her professor. It had taken time, but little by little, she had felt the unwelcomed noise die down till what was left in her mind was just t
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION WALKING INTO THE WOLVES DEN
"We?" Emma muttered out aloud. It can only mean one thing. She thought. Derek and Maya could be back, or perhaps it was just Clem and Anthony."Who was that? Family?" Professor Perkins asked, watching the lines that smeared her forehead whenever she was in deep thought."No. A friend." She replied."I see…" He said, wondering immediately if it was a male friend or female friend that was worrying over her. The probability that it might have been a male friend that had called to check on her caused a tightening in his guts.What the hell! He voiced out on his mind, not believing himself at the moment. He was going macho over a human girl. His twin would laugh the life out of him when he hears about this."He was checking upon you?" He asked, unable to keep the suspension on the caller's gender; and so, he wisely posed it as a question, trying out the masculine pronoun of whi
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION WALKING INTO THE WOLVES DEN II
"Well, Professor, welcome to my friend's estate." Emma said, turning around so that she was walking slowly forward with her back, while gesturing with her hands which were spread wide as she welcomed her professor to the governess' estate."Your friend?" Professor Perkins asked, masterfully masking the bewilderment in his voice, not wanting to let the human in on whatever he was feeling or thinking."Yeah, I have some quite royal friends you see. Melvina is the governess of the county, but she is my good friend. She allows me to call her by her name." She replied."Don't worry she doesn't bite. She is accommodating. I think she would love to meet you." She said, when she noticed the look of apprehension that had lasted for just one second on her professor's face.Professor Perkins almost scoffed at Emma's statements. The werewolves and his people didn't really see eye to eye, except on some rare occa
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION WORRIED DEREK
The atmosphere stilled, a stark tension brewed, as Derek's eyes found Emma, and of course the professor whom he had heard so much about from Ava, Claire, and then Louis, the son of the beta of Wind Winders Pack. He didn't know which one grated on his nerves; the fact that the professor had been too close to Emma since today, was actually still close to her even as they approached them, or the fact that he was a creature of the night, a vampire. For fudges sake, he was only out for less than two days, and already she has managed to attract to herself another supernatural, just when he had thought that it was just witches and phanthoms. Oh, good now. He mused. He just used fudge in a sentence. Seems his little witch was already rubbing off on him. And why not? She is his mate for fudge's sake! Not some friend for some professor. He wondered on what his parents would think of this. His mate seemed to have a knack for brewing trouble for herself. A vampire??
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION UNABLE TO RESIST HER
"Derek!" "Maya!" "Shane yo!" "Clemrific.." Derek heard Emma call them one after the other, and sighed, aware of the giddy motion of his wolf, despite their earlier resolution, and the warnings of his beta and gamma. This wasn't going to be as easy as he thought. "Don't you go kissy on her, Derek, or I will kick your shin for putting our future Luna in trouble." Of course, that was Shane speaking through their mind link, ever the humorous specie. "Remember, treat her like she is a fling, no possessiveness, and then, of course, none of that puppy eye stuff for god's sake." His beta, Clem, mentioned, and he rolled his eyes. On a normal day, he would have tagged them jealous of his mateship, but not today. Today was not a normal day. Today, they had a vampire in their midst. He knew that if his cousin could mind link with him, she would have sent her own batch of warnings. She couldn't. Perhaps t

THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION ANNABEL’S TRIAL
Emma’s eyes were as active as anything active as she watched the elders slowly walk into the hall reserved for judging cases, like Annabel’s. As she watched them, her feet kept dancing on the floor in a funny unsteady motion; she was unsteady. One, one. Then two, two. Then one two. Once, Amelia had looked at her, with a piqued eyebrow. ‘What is that?’ Her eyes seemed to ask, but Emma had given no answer. What is it? It should be what are they?! When they were hurrying over to the hall, after convincing the guards that they would be around for the trial too, her sister had whispered that the cabin, her parent’s cabin, had been burnt by the master, Slediv. It had brought Emma up short, making her stagger on her feet for two reasons. That Slediv had really traced them, even without her then, and that the cabin was burnt; the loss it meant for her parents. Would they regret helping her then? Prescott didn’t think so. But Emma was still worried about it, just like her mind had tried
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION BAD BLOOD
One week later:Emma had run to the clinic, immediately Adah had burst into her apartment with the news that Annabel and Amelia were awake. Over the couple of days in class, they had bonded over gossip, and training, seeing as the latter was the only one that had been sincerely interested in her. Emma had run with Prescott in her hands, and Adah right behind her. And when she arrived at the room she had frequented daily with prayers, and saw her sister and her friend chatting tiredly, she let out a scream of happiness and hurried over to them. “Amelia! Annabel!” She called gaily, garnering the attention of the two females sitting cross-legged on the same bed. Before they could let out a shout or smile of their own, Emma’s hands were already around them. “Oh my goodness, I am so happy for both of you…” she paused. “but give me a heartache again, and I will skin you both alive..” Annabel and Amelia divulged bouts of laughter, with the nurses. Prescott and Adah weren’t left behind,
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION CLAIRE AND FAMILY IV
Caden sighed in relief at his mate’s words, wanting to believe at all costs that the years he had spent with her, that the love they had shared, hadn’t been in vain. He didn’t know what he would have done otherwise. Cry, brood? Neither was acceptable in these times. And so, he wasn’t moved when his son piqued an eyebrow at his mate’s words, or when his daughter’s lips turned up—in disgust or curiosity, he wasn’t sure. But he didn’t care. He just hung on to the thread that his mate was spinning with. “I didn’t cheat on my mate, I’m sure he would have found out if I had done so, considering the mate bond and all that…” There was a pause, where relief sunk its foothold the more in Caden and his children. “So, if that’s what you are thinking, Caden… if that’s what you all are thinking, cut it out. I was surprised too when Claire had met me with the news at first, and I didn’t tell you, Caden, because I wasn’t sure how to explain the phenomena to you. I knew you held the lineage of you
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION CLAIRE AND FAMILY III
Chyra didn’t know what Clem was talking about—the end of the world, and all that—but she knew that she was to blame for Claire rejecting her mate considering what she had soaked into her daughter’s mind about the alpha’s family, about how the Luna seat was her birthright. She also knew that she shouldn’t be working with Arnold. But she was too proud to concede to that, to concede to anyone, and so she shrugged her shoulders to Clem’s question. In the next second, she saw why that had been a wrong play on her part. When she saw Clem fume in anger, when she saw Claire glare at her stinkingly, when she saw her mate watch her like she was foolish, she knew that she had made a mistake. It would have been best if she had kept quiet, than giving off that nonchalant attitude. But her pride held her back from apologizing. Why should she apologize for being a mother caring to give her daughter the best? “Mother, are you so daft that…” Clem was saying when his father shouted him down. Caden
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION CLAIRE AND FAMILY II
At this point, Clem didn’t know what to think about his sister, Claire. He had thought that their parents had been her motivator to reject Curtis, to follow Curtis up and down, to join the meetings that prince Nathan held with the others, but from the thick astounded silence that dwelled in the room, it could be safe to say that his sister had been acting on her own, without any external influence. He didn’t know what to think of that. He looked at his mother; she looked more shocked out of her shoes and mind than his father, quite expected since the mother and daughter duo were quite close, since his sister had no mind of hers, except put into place by his mother. As much as he was not happy with his twin, he was happy that for once his mother had no part to play in her recent escapades. “What do you mean…Claire?” Caden asked, pushing himself ahead, his elbow resting on his knees. “What do you mean when you say that Curtis is your mate? When did that happen? When did you find out?
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION CLAIRE AND FAMILY
What Claire saw first when she stepped into her father’s room was her parents sitting in the living room, with Clem, their backs hunched, the air filled with pregnant silence, waiting. They were waiting for her. She knew it from the moment she had dropped a note in Clem’s mind that she was on her way home. That he hadn’t bothered with a response, should have been enough to let her know that her twin was still angry with her. But she had held out hope, until she had reached the borders of the pack and he hadn’t been waiting for her. This was very different from the times they had quarrels. She knew, however, that this quarrel was different. She had denied her mate, because of the throne; had gone ahead to push Emma away from the pack; and when Derek still hadn’t chosen her, she had returned to Curtis because he was an Alpha. Would she have returned to him if he wasn’t that? She didn’t know. That was the truth. She didn’t know. She might have gone back to Curtis, even if he wasn’t a
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION ANOTHER MATE FOR CURTIS
At Wind Winders Pack.“Dad, what is this? What was Zoe doing in my room so early in the morning?” Curtis questioned, a second after he rushed into the dining room where his parents were having breakfast. He had slept in obviously, but he didn’t care. Yesterday’s training had been rigorous after all. He darted his eyes between his mother and father; his mother’s widened eyes told him that she had no idea what he was talking about; quite expected since this turn of event hadn’t been part of their plans. Hence, he trained his eyes on his father; the old man just continued eating his breakfast like he hadn’t spoken. Curtis thought of repeating himself, but thought better of it. He walked up to his father, and took away his plate of food; an act that he wouldn’t have been able to try before; an act that might have spelt his death; but considering his father’s few options of allies, he knew that he had a chance to live. And so, when his father glared at him heatedly, he didn’t quake in hi
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION PRESCOTT IS AWAKE
“Hey…how are you feeling?” Emma whispered, touching Prescott’s head softly, as she watched him open his eyes for the second time. The first time, she had screamed and had called for the nurse in charge of his treatment, not minding that Adah was with her. Nothing could have dampened her joy. She had just checked on Annabel and Amelia, who although their vitals were stable, was still asleep, yet out of coma. According to the chief nurse, a week was enough for them to wake up now. Then she had checked on Prescott, and only touching him with fondness had elicited the response of his eyes opening. Emma had been overjoyed. “Prescott, can you hear me?” She asked softly, dragging a seat to herself, whilst Adah watched on, not understanding the communication method of the squirrel and Emma. Like the people in the community, she had never seen a talking animal, or rather an animal that communicates as Emma had painted Prescott to be. Her friend who was in the upper echelons of the community
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION STARTING CLASSES III
No professor spoke to her, and Emma couldn’t help but wonder why. Had Prince Shiloh ask them to avoid her? Or had professor Brooks’ defeat scared them away from her? Well, if that was the matter, then she believed it was for the greater good. She had no interest in making affiliations after all, so long as they taught her what she wanted to know, and treated her fairly. “So, do you think you can cope?” She heard Adah ask, and turned aside to see her new seat mate. The mischievous glint in the latter’s eyes made her smile, howbeit small. “I believe I can.” She answered, before getting on her feet. She took her bag which Gira had provided that morning and slung the straps across her shoulder. It was time to go home, or rather check on her friends. Classes were done for the day. “Where are you going?” Adah asked her, getting to her feet. As they walked toward the door, a couple of the students swiftly moved, and stood before the door, causing Emma to furrow her eyebrows. But she chose
