3~Xander POV~“Hey Xander get up!”. I could hear someone tapping me to awaken. I grunt and got up and sat on the bed after the tapping persisted.“For heaven's sake , what do you want!”. I scream and shout in my sleeping voice. I was enjoying my sweet dream before this moron woke me up.“Oh sorry dear future Alpha! Today is Monday and we got to school. Mom says you should be down in two minutes or she will come up.” My younger sister said and went out of my room stamping the door on her way.I cringed at the sound the door made.I went down and met the other pack members who were already seated and having breakfast. “Good morning everyone!” I said with a big smile on my face as I made my way to my reserved seat and sat down and grabbed my breakfast.“Morning Xander”. Some of the people on the table echoed while others just smiled. Just then mom entered the dining room and everyone stood up. Yeap that's my mom. Luna Kiera. Luna of the Avila Grey Pack. Since dad was away for the annua
Claire POV~ Today is Monday again. I can’t believe a week has already passed. I am gradually getting used to staying here. It isn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Alright now I am so exhausted and sleepy even though it is morning. I stayed up all night yesterday night. I watched all the seasons of Emily in Paris. The new Netflix show that people have been bothering me about. And since my parents' bedroom is on the first floor while mine is on the second floor, mom was not able to stop me from watching. I just hope that I survive today’s school.Just like last week, mom dropped me off at the school’s gate and I went in. Everything seems normal and the same as it was last week. Well everything except for the expensive sports cars that were packed at the end of the left hand side of the packing space. The cars were about ten or so in numbers and all of them were in different colors. Damn! I wondered who owns them. They looked too expensive for a high school kid to drive. The amazin
~ Xander’s POV~Soon it was time for lunch. All of us the pack members that attend this usually gather together at the hallway before going into the cafeteria together. Since we were little, we were taught to always eat together as one family because that will strengthen our bond. As we entered the cafeteria, everywhere became quiet. People stopped eating at us. It happens all the time. I wonder when they are going to stop acting as if we are the kardashians or the Royal family. Since our pack owns the majority of the school shares , we have our own special seat. Our food is also different and we don’t have to join any queue because we have people serving us. As I walked into the cafeteria, I was hit with the sweetest scent ever. It smelt like fresh roses and lavender and there was something unique about the scent.“Mate!”. My wolf Austin shouted happily in his head.“Hh?”. That was the only word I could produce. “That’s our mate's scent dummy!”. Austin mocked me.Never in my life
Xander POV ~After the most uncomfortable lunch in my life, mom told me to see her in her office for something urgent. Damn Alissa! Can’t she keep something to herself for once? I strolled to her room and found her and Allen making out. They seemed not to take notice of me so I grabbed a pillow and threw it at them.“Xander!!!” Alissa cried out.“Dude!” Allen also said at the same time with her. I see why they are meant for each other.“Why did you bang into my room like that? Do you owe this visit to my dearest brother? I mean I can’t remember the last time you came into my room”. Alissa sweetly said as if she didn't know why I was here.“Did you or didn’t tell the pack members about me finding my mate?”. I growled at her and immediately Allen stood up and stood between us. Trust a werewolf to always be over protective about his mate.“Didn’t not!” Alissa childishly stuck her tongue out. I gave a look that said I didn’t believe her even a bit.“I actually didn’t! Well I just told Aun
Claire POV ~I woke you feeling very happy today. Maybe because today it’s not Monday. Probably that’s why. I got up from bed and decided to play the song “Happy” by Pharrel Williams. It might seem crazy what I am 'about to say Sunshine she's here, you can take a break I'm a hot air balloon that could go to space With the air, like I don't care, baby by the way… I sang along with the music as I danced around my room. It’s actually my best music when I am in a happy mood. The songs I play depend on my mood. After singing and dancing for about thirty minutes, I decided it’s enough beverage I needed to dress for school.Since I am apparently in a good mood today, I decided to dress extra. I ditched the blazers for a sleeveless sweater and instead of my usual sneakers, I decided to wear black bootys. I packed my hair into a doughnut and styled my edges and then looked at myself in the mirror. “Right Claire! You are good to go”. I said to myself and quickly applied some lipgloss and sp
Alissa POVI was so excited when I heard that my brother finally found his mate. Xander has always been close off and has just little interaction with females so I know he is going to have a problem approaching his mate. If she is also a werewolf like it won’t have been difficult because we will have known what mate means. But unfortunately for him, his mate it’s a human. And humans are complicated especially when it comes to relationships. But Xander being Xander will definitely not ask for help and not the type who just helps anyone just like that without being asked.All he did was stare at her although it was lunch. If he continues at this rate, she is going to get married soon enough right under his nose. Since I know his pride won’t allow him to accept my help if I offered it just like that, I decided to share my ideas with mom who promised to talk with me.After dinner that same day, he came into my room to ask for help. He looked as if he was about to sign a deal with the devi
Claire POV ~It’s been twenty minutes since the school closed and that was no sign of dad anywhere. That’s a first because he or mom actually comes at exactly two o clock to come pick me up. I decided to give him a call.“Hello dad. Where are you? Or have you forgotten that you are supposed to pick me up? School has been closed since twenty minutes ago”. I murmured into the phone as soon as he picked it up.“O sweetheart! Am so sorry, an emergency meeting came up and it slipped my mind. Am so sorry. Let me call the driver to come and pick you up.”. Dad kept on apologizing for not being able to come.“Dad, it's fine. I will just get a ride with one of my friends. No worries”. I replied to him.“Okay sweetheart, see you when I get home. I love you”. Dad said and cut off the phone. I guess he must be very busy.I told dad that I will pick a lift with one of my friends. I just remembered that they left already. In fact almost everyone has left. I looked around to see if I could see a fam
Claire POV ~Despite being drenched by the rain I was very happy. After entering the house, I first lean my back at the door to calm my heart beat. Am definitely ending up with a heart attack. But at least I will die happy.After smiling like a fool for about ten minutes, I stood off my shoes and made my way to my bathroom. I don't think anyone is at home.I went and changed my clothes and decided to do my laundry. I washed his hoodie with extra care. It still smells like him. Oh how I wish I could keep it with me but that won’t say good of me. After all, he lent it to me because he didn’t say anything about giving it to me for free.After washing the hoodie, I packaged it together with his umbrella in a bag . I will return it to him tomorrow. But I was to just give it to him empty handed, so I decided to break him some cupcakes. I just hope the ingredients are available because since we moved into the state, I never made use of the kitchen to cook. I entered the kitchen and searched
“Claire are you coming?.” Alissa asked.“Yes sure!.” I got the hold of myself as I followed her to the mighty building.The building is too big to be even called a mansion. I understand why people refer to it as a palace. It is five stories high and is done in a curved shape. At the center of the water fountain is a large sculpture of a wolf.Alissa opened the double door and I entered the house after her. I suck in a breath when my eyes look around the building. The walls of the house are made of gold. There are long chandeliers lit at every point of the high ceilings. At the end of the hallway is a grand double staircase. The floors are made up of expensive marble. Everything in the house screams expensive.“Xander is in his room, we will head there now”. Alissa said and led us to an elevator. Of course they will have an elevator. What do I expect? They pressed on the button of the last floor and in no time we were there. They lead us to the east wink of the building. We soon reach
Luna Kiera~( Xander’s mom)It pains me for my son. It hurts so much. I have watched him wait for his mate for two years. And now that he has found her, all this is happening. I know that it is high time I take the matter into my hands. I wiped my tears as I thought of what to do. I called the principal of the school and informed him that I will be paying a visit to his office tomorrow. The next day I made my way to the school without informing Xander or Alissa that I will be coming. The principal called Claire to his office before he left us alone to talk.“Good morning Mrs Avila” she politely greeted me. She is such a nice girl. I just hope things work out between her and my son.“You don’t have to call me that. Just called me Kiera. That will do!”. I informed her.“Okay Mam, Sorry I can’t call you by our name. I feel like I am disrespecting you.” She told me.“As you wish then. Do you know why I am here?”. I asked her.“No! But I guess it has to do with Xander.” She answered.“Y
Early the next day, I called Xander and Alissa’s phone but it was not reachable.I kept trying it all through the day, but it never went through. The next day being Monday, I could not wait to go to school. I hurried to the school and found their car park empty. That is very strange. Maybe they are getting late or so I thought. But to my surprise, the day came and ended with no sign of them. I took courage and went to the principal’s office and asked them. The principal told me that they have all arrived for the burial of a distant cousin and won’t be back until a week after. Deep down in my heart, I knew that it was a lie. I remember the week I came to school and they were all absent. Something is definitely fishy about the whole family if they are actually a family as they say they are. The thing that hurts me the most is that they can’t even call me or text me to inform me where they are.“Do I really know the guy I am dating?”. I questioned myself. The week passed with me being
I didn’t even realize that I was crying already.“Claire, come on. Why are you crying?.” Xander asked me. He turned off the television and gave his full attention to me. He tried to move closer to me but I stopped him.“Why? Why are you doing all this? Why are you being very nice to me, why are you being me on this date?.” I asked him as I burst into sobbing now.“Because I wanted to. Because I love you!.” Xander declared. His words really shocked me. I have expected him to at least say he likes me not tell me that he loves me. “I know it’s too sudden, that’s why I don’t want to tell you. But I am serious about loving you. I have never felt what I am feeling now for anyone in my life.” Xander confessed to me.“Say something!”. Xander said when he noticed that I have not spoken since he confessed.“I don’t know if I love you or not yet, but one thing I am sure of is that I have strong feelings for you!” I said.Xander smiled and pulled me into his arms. He placed his lips on mine and
Claire POV~A week came and pass and today is the day of our date. When I have earlier told mom and dad that I am going out on a date, they where beyond shock and kept saying they want me meet the guy that changed my mind about the whole dating of a thing. Is not as if I told I don’t to date or some. It’s just my parents being parents.I asked Xander where we are going to and he say it’s a surprise and ask me to wear a dress. I wore a simple fitting red dress that has cut on both shoulders. I pair the outfit with a golden sandal heels.I went down stairs am found mom and dad interrogating Xander.“Mom! Dad! Stop embarrassing me!.” I said as I announce my presence. They all turned to look at me.“O my daughter is already grown up!.” Mom said and wipe away fake tears from her eyes.I rolled my at eyes at her and waved to Xander. He is wearing a short levees shirt and dark blue jeans.“We will get going now!.” I announced and I heard Xander sighed in relief.“Okay young man, no funny bus
“What? No! Where did you get that idea from!”Xander asked, looking lost. So maybe that is not the reason he kissed me then. But you can’t blame a girl for assuming.“Well, I read it in a lot of novels, when the girl talks too much, the guy kisses her to make quiet.” I embarrassingly explained.“That’s stupid. I don’t think a guy will kiss you for that reason. And for your information, I kissed you because I wanted to and not because of any other reason your novel feeds you with!”. Xander stated. “O!”. I said the only word I could think of. I am grateful that my first kiss is from my crush and is because he wanted to kiss me.“Yes! And sorry I did not talk to you earlier on. It’s not my fault, I was frozen by your beauty!.” Xander winked at me causing me to blush deeper. Thank god it’s dark so he can’t see my pink cheeks.“Stop kidding!.” There is no way he will see that my so-called beauty freezes him when his own family members are looking like goddesses.“I am not. I wanted to com
Today is the D-day.After we had breakfast, mom and I went to the spa. We had our body polish before we styled our hair. After that we did our make up there. By the time we came back home, it was already after three in the afternoon. The charity event starts at five thirty. We have more than an hour to get ready.“Okay hurry up and get dressed. We are almost late!”. Mom said and hurried into her room. Typically mom.I went into my room and wore my dress, shoes and jewelry. I stood to look at myself in the mirror. I actually look like a real life princess.I hurriedly video called my friends in Australia. I kept the phone on the table and moved back a little so that they could fully see my dress.“Yo!”,“Guess who remembers us today.”“What’s up!”. They all said when they finally connected to the video call.“Greetings to all of you too!”. I saluted them.“Who are you?”. Joyce asked me.“What do you mean by that?”. I asked her.“Where is Claire and why are you answering her phone?.” E
Unknown POV~To say I was shocked is an understatement. I can’t believe what I am seeing. The Avila’s never allow anyone to sit with them at their table. But here she is eating and laughing with them. To make things worse, she is sitting near my Xander and even whispering to him.I fisted my hands into balls as I looked at them.Xander is mine! And he is going to remain mine. I am not going to allow some girl from nowhere to take him away from me.Looking at them made me lose my appetite. I stood up and left the Cafeteria.“O dear Claire, enjoy the attention while it lasts!.” I let out an evil laugh as I continued to walk away.Xander POVOnce school closed I and the rest of the guys walked towards our car parking space. From afar, I noticed an envelope attached to my wheel screen. I came closer and picked up the envelope. Inside the envelope is a card.“You are mine! Only mine and no one else!”. That is what is written on the card. I look around to see if there is anyone around but
I went out of the changing room and stood in front of them.“Well. What do you guys think?”. I asked when I saw that all of them were speechlessly looking at me.“Wow!.” Stacy managed to break out of her trance.“Wow damn right!”. Freddy commented.“Never have I been speechless in my life like today.” Freddy continued.“Mom? How do I look ?”. I asked my mom, wanting to hear from her.“O dear, you look very beautiful. I can’t believe my daughter is all grown up!.” Mom emotionally said as she wipes away a tear or two from her eyes.“Thank you mom.” “You are definitely taking this. All you need is silver jewelry to match the outfit with it.” Freddy commented.“That’s right Freddy, we are definitely taking this. Claire goes and changes so that we can get the jewelry and the shoes”. Mom instructed. I went back into the changing room and carefully took off the dress. Mom paid for the dresses and Stacy accompanied us to the shoe section. Mom and I ended up choosing matching silver heels. M
