Chapter 2

JANE’S POV

After a long torturing drive, Tonia finally stops in front of a building.

Tonia and Tony quickly alighted, I also didn’t waste any time to follow suit.

Tony throws his arm around my neck and inhaled deeply.

“ Jane , can you feel the peace and quiet this place brings you?” He asked.

I raised an eyebrow at him.

“ We just got here, who knows if we’re going to move again tomorrow!”

He groans and roll his eyeballs.

“ You’re such a kill joy!”

I chuckled at his failed attempt to cheer me up and make me love this place.

“ Be careful guys don’t break anything!”

I heard Tonia talking to the movers as they move in our stuffs.

I took the time to study the building…. It looks like a portable mansion.

I nod.

My legs find their way to the backyard, to confirm if what Tony and Tonia said are true.

A small smile find its way to my lips as I saw a small garden of roses and lilies instead, and a single guava tree with few guava fruit on it.

“ This is perfect!” I thought mentally.

Maybe they’re right, I might not get any nightmares since there’s no woods behind.

Someone taps my shoulder and I turn, Tony and Tonia stands behind me …. Tony’s hand tugged his pocket and Tonia smiling brightly.

“ So … what do you think?” Tony asked.

They both looking at me anxiously , waiting for my reply.

I scoffed mentally, they’re asking for my opinion now as of it ever mattered.

Do you like it? “ Tony asked again.”

I nod.

“ Yeah.. since there is no woods!”

Tony claps his hands together and from my peripheral view, I saw Tonia sigh in relief, a smile tugs at the corner of her lips.

” Excellent!” Tony said.

“ The movers are done, let’s go in and check the rooms!” Tonia said. Tony took my hand and pulls me along, I hope the inside won’t disappoint me.

“ Wow!”

I couldn’t help but awe at the beauty I’m seeing, Honestly, this house is ten times more beautiful than that of our previous house.

It’s got high ceilings and high French windows… let’s just say I can’t describe the interior in full, cause I’m pretty bad at descriptions!

Wait, I need to get the room with the window facing the garden.

I turned to Tonia with a smile, She studies my expression and sighed.

“ Fine, it’s that one over there!” She points to a room

She already knows what I was going to ask, she doesn’t need me to tell her.

I rushed there but not before yelling,

“ Tony bring in my luggage!”

He groans but I heard him pulling my luggage along.

I enter the room and rushed towards the window, I saw two butterflies, flying around a flower.

“ Well it seems you really like this place now!” Tony said.

I rolled my ears

“Tony, I only the garden!”

“ oh!”

“yeah!”

Tonia clears her throat and calls for our attention.

“ Well, Jane, Tonia and I have something to discuss, we’ll leave you to unpack and settle in!”

I nod wanting them, to leave. But my stomach growls loudly and I remember we haven’t had any food since morning.

Tony looks at his wrist watch’

“Tonia, it’s already lunch time, Jane and I will be going for the shopping first”

I slap his shoulder.

“ Grocery shopping?!”

He nods.

“I’m already so angry and you’re talking about grocery shopping?!”

He nods again.

“ Can you say something other than nodding?”

He chuckles lighted

“ We’ll go buy the groceries and Tonia is going to cook for us!” He said

I rolled my eyes for the hundred time… what a bunch of caring siblings that I have.

I throw my bag pack on my new bed and keep my stories inside, seeing my story book, I suddenly remember something.

I stand up abruptly.

“ What about school?”

They both frown.

“ School?” they asked at once.

“ When am I resuming school? This is my senior year, I can’t slack off”

Tony laughs.

“ Relax Tonia didn’t forget you are a

nerd….”

“ I’m not a nerd!” I cut him off

He nods frantically.

“ Right, right…..!”

I found your new school and talked with the principal last night, you’re resuming tomorrow!” Tonia said

I nod… at least they were not going to delay my studies. I turn to Tony

“ Tony you’re gonna go to the grocery shopping alone, I want to unpack and get my things ready for tomorrow.

“No” Tony and Tonia said at once.

I furrowed my brows together.

“ ok, you’re both acting weird!” They both have a scared expression on.

” Weird? we just don’t want to leave you alone in the house” Tony said.

“ I’m not alone, Tonia is gonna be here”

“ Tonia….. she….”

I’m visiting one of my friends. Tonia cuts Tony off.

“ Your friends?”

She and Tony nods.

“ You have friends here?”

They nod again.

“ Since when?”

They both exchange look and Tony nods at Tonia, like they just had a conversation telepathically.

“ Remember I came here sometime ago for business? Tonia asked.

“ Yeah?” I replied.

“ Well, I made a few friends then….now that I’m here, I must check on them!”

Hmmmmmmm…it is confirmed they are acting strange.

Could it be my nightmares are taking a toll on them and they’ve gone…, Crazy?!

“ Come on Jane, am starving let’s get moving!” Tony said and grabs my hand.

He turn to Tonia.

“ Extend my greeting to our friends!”

Tonia nods, while Tony pulls me out.

Walking down the street with Tony is a crime now! I mean, all the girls are glaring daggers at me…. I guess they are thinking am his girlfriend.

I shake my head mentally, if only they know am I’m his younger sister!

Ok, enough of the girls talk I noticed something else.

The people in general….elderly ones,

men and women they all seem to be giving me a disgusting look, like I am carrying some kind of disease.

They’re murmuring among themselves as we walk past them, I pulled Tony closer and whisper in his ear.

“ What’s going on? Why are they looking at me like that?”

He looks around an throw his arm on my shoulders.

“ They can hear you.”

“ Huh?” They can hear me? How ?

“ Just ignore them, I bet they’re just surprised to see new faces in their town”

Great! Just great! This is one of the reason I hate moving.

Tony stops walking and I raised my head in a frown.

“ Let’s check out this supermarket!” He said and pulls me inside.

TONIA

“Stop there!” A guard stops me as I was about to walk through the gate.

The guard access me and sniffs the air.

“ You’re not a rogue who are you?” the guard asked.

“ I’m Tonia Lex!”

“ That not what I mean!?” the guard retort harshly.

I smiled and studied the guard, I shake my head.

“ He must be a new guard!” I thought.

“ Which park are you from? And what’s your rank? Why did you come to the alpha king mansion?!”

I rolled my sleeve up and showed the guard a small faded wolf’s head tattoo on my arm, the guard’s eyes grows wide as recognition flashes across his eyes.

I’m Tonia Lex from, from whit moon pack, from the royal spy’s family!.

The guard bows his head immediately he realizes my rank is far higher than his.

“ I’m so sorry Miss spy, how may I help you?” he stutters a little.

“ I want to see the alpha king!”

The guard nods, “ I’ll inform him!”

The guards rushes in and came out after a few minutes.

“ Miss spy, this way, please.”

I followed him. After a few minutes of walking down a very long corridor, we stopped at a big door..made of oak wood.

Alpha king’s office boldly written above it.

The guard knocks a few time and hears a faint “come in!”

He opens the door and we both step in, the guard and I quickly bow our heads as we saw the people inside the office.

The alpha king sits on a big chair, with his beta by his left hand side and a few elders.

“Alpha king, Tonia Lex is here!” the guard reports.

The Alpha king waves the guard off…the guard rushes out as if his pants is on fire.

I quickly fell on my knees with my head still bowed.

“ Tonia Lex, why are you just coming back?!” The Alpha king asked.

I didn’t utter a word, t6alking back at the Alpha is a death wish.

“After the death of your parents, we were expecting you and your brother to come back to the pack!”

The Alpha king paused.

The silence in the office is very thick.

“ Why did you and your brother come back! Speak!”

We’re sorry, Alpha king, we thought we could catch him…

“ Nonsense!” The Alpha king interrupts me.

“ I sent words to you, asking you to come back but you disobeyed me just because you thought you could catch him?”

I opened my mouth to speak, but the Alpha king shut me up with a glare.

“Where’s he now?!”

“He’s in hiding, but…”

The door opens and a young boy enters the office, everyone, except the Alpha king stands and bow including me.

“ Your highness!” we chorused.

He arrogantly walked towards a similar chair with that of the Alpha king’s and sits… without acknowledging our greetings.

A deep frown on his face, like he was forced to attend this gathering.

The beta king signal the elders to sit down.

“ Dad who is this?” he asked.

“Alpha prince, she’s from the royal spy’s family!” the beta explained.

I gave him a respect bow.

“Oh!” he exclaimed kinda disappointed.

The Alpha king cleared his throat and all attention turns to him.

“ Tonia, I’ll pardon you for your parent’s sake, come to the pack meeting tomorrow, you have a lot to catch up with!”

Yes, Alpha king! I replied.

“ You’re dismissed!”

I didn’t get up, this made everyone frown.

“ Do you want to be punished for failing in your duty instead?”

An elder asked.

I shake my head

“ I have a request” I said.

“ Speak!” The beta said.

I have a sister but she is not a wolf.

There was silence, everyone is waiting for me to complete my statement.

“ She’s human!”

This statement caused uproar as everyone starts murmuring. The beta hits the table for orderliness…everyone quiets down.

“ What do you mean she is human?” The Alpha king asked.

“ I don’t know how to explain it, but she didn’t inherit our gene.”

“How’s that possible!?”

“ Both parents were werewolves!”

“ This is unacceptable!”

“ She must leave!”

The elders murmur.

“It against how law to let any human in our pack! You know that!”

The Alpha king said

I nodded.

“ I know, Alpha king…but this is the only place she can be safe!”

“ No! she has only two choices now, either she leaves or we kill her!”

My eyes grow bigger and I shake my head no she can’t die.

“ No… She can’t die …. I repeat !”

Then she leaves!

“ Yes”

“She can’t stay!”

“ She’ll expose us!”

stared at the elders as they all agree with the alpha king.

Right then a thought came to my mind.

“ Alpha, she’s one of us, maybe she’s a late bloomer”.

“She might transform if she meets her mate.” I said.

Everyone quiets down and thinks about what I said, the young Alpha prince shakes his head.

“ She must leave! Humans and wolves don’t mix!” he said

" But…."

“Alpha prince is right!” An elder cuts me off as I tried speaking.

“ Allowing a human in our pack will be our downfall.”
