“Thank you.” Arya said as she got down from the car.“Just be good and take care of yourself.” Alston smiled at her before she opened the door and got down.She sniffed in as the cold breeze hit her. She didn’t want to go back inside the school, nor see any of the school students. All she wanted was to be on her own, possibly in her room.“Can I ask you for a favor?” She said back to Alston.“Sure.”“Can you drop me at my house? School will soon be over and I can’t go back in.” Her eyes stared wide at him, hoping she would say the answer she needed to hear.Alston found his wolf dancing at the thought of this. It would be too dangerous if her mum saw him, both for him and both for her. But who was he to decline her request? Even her cute face staring at him was enough to give in to her request.“Sure. You can come in.” He said as he revved the car engine.“Thank you.” She blurted before dropping her bag and getting in the car.Alston revved the engine, putting the car in reverse befor
“What!” A yell passed across the room.“Why are they not here? I have to return to the school soon before I go missing. I’m having some classes and I have to see my girl. I can’t afford to make her angry again.” Brad yelled again through the phone.Annoyance clouded over his face and the next word the other caller said deepened the lines that edged his forehead.“What do you mean arrested? What about my money? How did they get arrested? I thought they were always careful, what do you mean?” He asked with deep lines on his forehead.The whole room went quiet as he listened attentively to what the other person was saying, and the more time the person took, the messier his face became.“So you’re telling me now that they went to the police station and tendered themselves in? Or what the heck are you saying!” He raged through the phone.“Man, you have to calm down. I don’t know how it happened but I heard they beat up a girl and drugs were found on them with the cops. They’ve been arreste
“You can cry it all out..” Alston patted her back softly, his hand moving up and down as her sobs filled the car. “I…did..not…..he..” she stuttered in between her tears. “He’s not worth it.” Alston said angrily as he continued to pat her. “No…h…he’s..j…” she cried out again, not wanting to believe Alston even though the pieces were adding up. During these few days that she has gotten to know herself and about the close people around her, it felt like Brad was also just revealing who he was before. But she didn’t want to believe it, he has had nothing but a perfect boyfriend to her before. The same guy almost half of the girls in the school want to be with, but only chose her. The same boy that a lot of girls eye, but only eyed her. “What went wrong?” She sobbed as she lifted her face from Alston's shoulder as she looked into his eyes. Her water glazed eyes and tear stained face made her look like a mess but at the same time
“Hey.” Arya called out with furrowed brows. She couldn’t see the double. This was Alston, standing in front of her house with his hand in his pocket and dark sunglasses sitting on his face. “Alston.” She yelled out again before he finally turned his face to her. “You’re here.” He muttered before walking to her. “You live around here?” She asked once they were walking together. “Nope. I came to pick you up. How are you feeling now?” He rambled out as he opened his car. Aryas heart fluttered at his words but she quickly reminded herself she had a boyfriend. “One that doesn’t care about her..” a thought occurred to her as she sighed before entering the car. “I’m feeling better. Thank you.” She retorted before closing the door. “That’s good.” Alston replied before starting the car and driving out of the neighbourhood. Throughout the car drive, the only sound that could be heard in t
“Alston…” she cried out as she got outside.Collapsing in his arms as the tears fell down her face, Alston's heart squeezed tightly against her chest because of how she looked. He clenched his jaw as his eyes darted to the entrance of the school. If must be him again, it must be that stupid thing she calls her boyfriend. Weak, stupid thing that knows nothing than hurt her.Carefully picking her up, he walked to his car before placing her in it. Walking to the other side to take his seat and pulling her for her head to lie on his chest.“It’s okay. He’s not worth it. He’s not worth you. Cry it all out. Cry it all out.” He continued to pat her as he said all his words out.Alston's lips curled up at the thought of him saying these words. He, the alpha of their pack who hardly interacts with anyone, is now someone who does nothing but watch a girl from afar and try to pat her and make her feel better.“We…we broke…up…..I…broke..up…with..him.” She said amidst her tears.Alstons hand on he
After a little chit chat with Zachariah, Alston was at ease a little bit, knowing that Zachariah had all things under his control. He has dispersed the guard and told them they’ll be off tomorrow, so they could have enough time to prepare. Alston walked to the bathroom and took a quick bath before deciding to take a run with his wolf. He was restless and just wanted to be alone. Before he could finish wearing his cloth, he caught a whiff of someone at the door making him scrunch his brows.“Who’s there!” He yelled out before the familiar scent hit his nostrils.Rolling his eyes casually, he put on his shirt finish before rolling his eyes, “come in.” He responded by opening the door.Standing there was no other than his mother, who was holding a bowl and a basket in her arms.“Come inside.” He repeated as she stood there, looking at him.“You look so lean that I don’t even know what to say! Why did you stay so long in that world! Those bunch of crazy and reckless individuals, and yet y
“Are they ready?” Alston asked Zachariah as his heart kept thumping wildly on his chest.“Yes. They’re all outside, waiting for you.” Zachariah replied as he bowed down to him.Alston nodded as he continued to pave back and forth the room. He was scared, for the first time in his life, he was damn scared and nervous about her. What if they didn’t leave the house? What if they decided to be tough? He saw the doubt on her mothers face when he dropped the key. He had seen how disappointed Arya was by the look she gave him. She could also be stubborn sometimes, what if she decides not to listen to him or them and stay in the house.“Your highness..:” Zachariah called out again.“Let’s go.” He pushed the thought at the back of his mind before walking outside. He had given them a chance, it was theirs to make if they wanted to take it or not.“Your highness.” The while guard growled at his appearance.“I want all of the place to be ransacked, every inch and corner of the house should not go
After a lot of parables from the priestesses, Alston finally got what he wanted to hear from them and he could say for one reason or the other, there were lies in what they said to him.“She was married, and she went ahead to sleep with another man. The baby wasn’t her husband's and the other man had a demon in him, the baby got a hold of the evil powers and we wanted to kill the child but she escaped before they could even get to her.” One of them had replied to him.But he chose not to believe because when he had asked them,“Who was the man she slept with?” He questioned.They all turned their heads and looked at each other, no one able to say any word again. But he didn’t want to scare them, nor let them know he knew something about it. He finally let them go and he could see the relief in their eyes as he did that.“Wait.” He called back when they were almost at the door.“I want all information about the priestess be brought to me. Down to her family.” He said before standing up
