The Alpha's Cure Let's Make Things Right
While Bruce is on hiatus from his marriage, I take a detour before I return to Knight Island. Wilson's flying out of Michigan, so while on my road trip, I stop and visit Lily. I wait until she leaves her home, then follow her to the grocery store. As she shops, I discreetly watch her. Once she's in line to check out, I rush to my car and wait for her. She pops her trunk, and I greet, "Hi, Mrs. Pratt. Let me help you with your bags."Leaning away and squinting, she stutters, "Hi, uh, how do you know me?""I'm a friend of Chris's. You and I never met, but I've seen you supporting him on different occasions."Hanging her head to conceal her pain, I extend my hand, saying, "I'm Jude. And I'm sorry about your loss. Chris was a great person."Now squinting my way, she asks, "Jude? I don't remember him mentioning you, but thanks. His father and I raised a fine man. I won't let anyone take that from us."Placing her bags in the trunk for her, I comment, "You and Bruce?""Pardon me?" She asks

I pretend I'm still planning a wedding to keep everyone from asking questions. However, I still need a dress. I enter the wedding boutique, and Lana calls. After the tailor got my measurements, I called back."Hey, Ajay. Are you busy tonight?""Hey, Lana. No. What's up?""Tonight we're celebrating with a few of our frat brothers. It's going to be lit. Everyone misses you. Let's party like we used to, for old time's sake."I told her yes. Lana and Bethany picked me up that evening. We pull up to the Campus Grill, and the place is packed. It looks as if everyone is here. Aaron and his closest frat brothers enter, and the entire room cheers.I whisper to Lana, "Why's everyone cheering them?""Not them, Aaron. He became a partner at his firm.""Oh wow," I say as I clap.Aaron looks well. He's taking shots and high-fiving until he makes his way over to me. Bethany's smiling and gazing his way. Once he says, "Hey, Ajay," the people at my table scatter."Hi, Aaron. Congrats on making a partn

After Jude tells me to have some class like a lady I confront him, but he notices Aaron gawking my way. Jude whispers seductively into my ear, "You have an admirer, Melanie; however, refrain from sleeping with him.""Why not?" I question, still watching Aaron. "He has a girlfriend, and she's beautiful, so don't play yourself."I don't comment, but I continue to seduce Aaron with my gaze. The longer Jude whispers in my ear, the more aroused I become. Sensing that he's purposely seducing me, I look into Jude's eyes. He's so turned on, it turns me on even more.Since he thinks we're siblings, he'll never sleep with me. In an attempt to trick him into making love to me, I say, "I have needs too, Jude. Excuse me, but trust me, this guy wants me more than his oh-so-beautiful girlfriend."As I walk toward Aaron, I hear Jude scolding under his breath, "Melanie, come back here."I desire Jude so badly that Aaron and I barely make it inside a bedroom before I'm tugging at his clothing.

I end our call and head to the nearest home. The Ricards are gone until the holiday season, so I search for an unlocked door or window to get inside. Once I enter, I grab their car keys and drive to the villa. Mama's waiting on me.Her goons, Micah and Andrew, are beside her. I exit the car saying, "Delilah Mason told Jude I'm pregnant."Micah and Andrew side-eye one another as Mama presses her lips. Micah asks, "What is she talking about, Mama?""She's gotten herself pregnant.""By Jude?" Andrew questions.Mama huffs, "Of course not. But if she has, she raped him in his sleep."I taunted, "You wish."Micah's face displays disgust when he states, "Jude is your brother, so what are we talking about? He'd never do anything so vile, so stop lying about him."Caressing his jaw, Mama says, "Well said Micah, and we all know that. Even Melanie's twisted mind knows that. What we don't know is if Melanie carries the werewolf seed."Suddenly, Mama looked around before asking, "Where's Deena?"A

Stunned, I stare at Aaron before I stutter, "W-What do you mean Melanie aborted your baby?"Under his breath, Aaron grunts, "Damn."I continued, "When was this?""She got pregnant the night we met." "How did you find out?""She told my aunt Delilah, who called me excited.""Excited?" I frown."You know my family are snobs, babe. Plus, my aunt's obsessed with those people. She was excited we made it into their family." Searching my surroundings, I whisper, "Let's take a ride."While Aaron drives, I text Lana, letting her know I left to talk with Aaron. She sends an excited emoji, but I kill her joy immediately by texting: It's about Jude.Once I'm done texting, I say, "What has Delilah told you concerning the Knights?""Nothing. She wants their trust. But after she and I confronted Melanie, I did my own research."Wide-eyed, I ask, "What'd you find?"Hesitant, Aaron says, "I met someone who knew about you and Jude."Aaron hosted a frat party. He was still upset over our breakup, so h

"We're not friends." I sneer.Noor cuts her eyes at my frat brothers, saying, "Hi Ezay, was it?"Acting tough, Ezay yells, "Lose my name!"The cafe is quiet, so everyone starts glancing toward us. I tell Ezay, "Tone it down, man. Let me handle this."Now Noor is starry-eyed, gazing my way. I tell her, "I don't know you, nor do I want to get to know you or the things you do. You're a woman, so we're not here to fight you or anything like that. I figured I'd come and tell you how I feel face-to-face.""You're a real man, Aaron." Noor blushes."Stop saying my name. It's creepy! It sounds like you're casting a spell. If you are, it won't work on me."Lowering her eyes, Noor says, "You seem to be prejudiced against my kind. I mean you no harm. I just think you're handsome, so I asked Ezay to introduce us." "And he told you, I'm taken, so back off!""So Tyler lied?" Noor asks."Tyler? You know my cousin?""He was at the party. After you went upstairs with that woman, he tried to hook up wi

Aaron told me he'd keep me posted on his werewolf information, but he never did. The only thing I learned that night was how much he still loved his ex.I joined the coven seven years ago. I've always been intrigued by the Disney character Tinkerbell, even as a child. I'm only 4 feet, 11 inches tall. I was a chunky kid, but once I got to middle school and started liking boys, I wanted to be thin.Anorexia was my diet of choice for over a decade before I was cured. From time to time, I struggle with it, but for the most part, I maintain my weight in a healthier manner.Initially, Your Portion was my savior, but soon after joining, it wasn't. Having powers and shape-shifting into this mythical character was intriguing, but I was still lonely, depressed, and the odd girl amongst the cool girls, although I was an intricate part of this coven.And boy, do I hate Chiara and Lucy. They are the coven's mean girls. Chiara is so demeaning. I'd feel better if she patted my head like I'm her dog

Aaron says, "I'll always love you, Ajay. I know what I did is messed up, but Jude and Melanie are monsters. If I never see her again, it'll be too soon.""Melanie's dead," I whimper."What? When? How did she die?""She did it to herself."With his mouth dropped, Aaron shakes his head, saying, "I'm so sorry, Ajay. I doubt Aunt Delilah knows that.""Sorry, Aaron, but I need to get home."I try to walk away, but he grabs me, begging, "Get back into the car, Ajay. It's late. You don't need to be out here alone waiting on a Lyft. I'm telling you everything because I love you. When you love someone, you don't lie and keep secrets from them.""Aaron, you don't understand my relationship, so please stop the underhanded comments.""I know more than you think, Ajay.""Do you? Well, spit it out! Say whatever you think you know since you love me so much and you'd never lie or keep a secret!"Looking away, he says, "Let me take you home."Flailing, I step away before he grabs my hand. He stares, a

The same night I googled Dr. Houseman. He has a private practice across town. I schedule an appointment, but he's not available until next month. Uncomfortable going to anyone else, I keep the appointment and buy a home pregnancy test.My sweaty palms wet the box, while my trembling hand held the stick steady. I waited the instructed time, and it came back inconclusive. I run to the drugstore and purchase three more tests. They all yield the same result.Justine told me Delilah was discharged from the ICU and apologized to Zelma. Delilah told Zelma, "I've been consumed with Jude and finding his truth for so long that I haven't even lived. These days I grieve for Mama. She was so deep into this that there was no way she could walk away and live a normal life.I've had Eve only a few weeks, and I love her as my own. Mama loved Jude. She did what she thought was best. If Jude ever comes for Eve, she's his, so I'd have no choice but to return his daughter. But until then, I'll love and ra

I left Floyd perplexed. Soon, I heard Jude questioning me about the short story Eve wrote about Samuel and his brother. Plopping onto my couch, I close my eyes and concentrate, hoping to remember anything significant.Suddenly, I recall Mr. Knight saying, "I hear my mother's singing in my head and whisper, "Dreamers? No, filthy dreamers. My bloodied fingers thumb through my Bible. Weak and dying, I circle the chapter at the top of the page. My shaky hand draws an arrow, and I write, This is his name."Immediately, I rushed and opened the small suitcase I had taken from the island. It has Jude's Bible inside. I remove it, go to the table of contents, and find the Book of Jude. Jude had circled the title in blood.As I stare at the encircled name, I realize that Samuel VII and Mr. Knight are the same. Samuel is the baby's father. The story instructed the Knight's lineage to name his son and the next Alpha, Jude.Soon I'm wondering why Samuel slaughtered his students. Did he hope to be k

Paige offers to go with me to see Mrs. Freer. I decided it was best to go alone. Walking on campus was strange. It seems like eons ago this was where I spent most of my time. Upon entering the administration building, I see familiar faces. Some greet me while others walk by, oblivious to who I am. I exit the elevator on our floor and see Mrs. Freer talking with two coworkers.Seeing me, she does a double-take. Quickly, she ends her conversation and heads toward me. "Ms. Vernon. This is a bewildering surprise.""Hi, Mrs. Freer. My name's Mrs. Knight now, and yes, I'm sure seeing me is surprising.""Mrs. Knight, wow. Well, congratulations. Now, may I know why you're here?""I need to speak with a professor, preferably one knowledgeable in astronomy.""Professor Floyd was a friend of Phyllis's. She asked for the same help right before she passed.""Mrs. Freer, it's terrible what happened to Phyllis. I'll admit, I was pretty heartless in the past, but I'm a new person. If possible, I'd a

I decide to wait in the car and let Justine handle everything. Once Zelma opens the door, she sees me. Instantly, she gripes, "What is she doing here?"Justine says, "She needs our help, Zelma.""From the moment I first helped her, it's been nothing but tragedy for those I love. You promised me you wouldn't go to Knight Island.""If we hadn't gone, Ajay would've been stranded there.""I don't care!" Zelma shouts."We're not like that, Zelma." Justine sighs.As much as it hurts, Zelma is right. Since the moment I stepped on Knight Island, it's been nothing but devastation and death. Once we get to their home, I retrieve my suitcase and leave. I tell Justine, "I promise I'll be in touch."Before I exit, Zelma stops me, saying, "I don't hate you, Ajay. And I understand the hold Jude has on you. I know you're worried and want to find him, but have you ever considered maybe he wants to be lost?Delilah attacked me over some books with mathematical formulas that no human could possibly deci

I'm hiding in what's left of this burned cabin when I hear voices. Realizing they're women, I rush out into the open. I see a woman running, and two chasing her. Then I hear, "Shellie, stop running!"I see Justine and cry out, "Justine! Over here!""Ajay? Is that you?" Justine shouts.Immediately, Shellie stops and runs toward me. Dottie and Justine come to me as well. They all stood staring my way, speechless. Slowly, Justine reaches to touch me and asks, "Are you okay?"The only thing I could do was cry. All three of them huddle around me. These strange sounds in the distance make Dottie say, "I think we need to go.""Are you alone? Where's Jude?" Justine asks."I'm alone, and Dottie's right. We need to leave."They have food and liquor on their boat. All three care for me until I'm no longer trembling from fear. We're miles away from the island when Justine asks, "Do you want to talk about it?"How do I explain this? Honestly, I don't know what happened myself. Coughing to clear my

Zelma doesn't know. I've been looking for Ajay forever. After I learned she practiced witchcraft, I told Zelma. Zelma warned me, "Knight Island was demonic. We just didn't know it. Dad was privy to some information but tragically learned it wasn't just superstition and ghost stories."I'd called Ajay but she never called back. Then, I decided to wait for her in the library's occult section. Afraid other students would see me and think I was a witch, I started asking about her instead.The student aid at the desk knew who she was. He told me, "Ajay is great. I haven't seen her in a minute, but sometimes she'd go to the coffee shop down the street."Cafe Sheol made me look more sketchy than sitting in the library. Only the barista and I are present. I go to the counter, order a tall latte, and ask, "Hi Cecily, I'm Justine. Do you remember a girl named Ajay being a customer?"Before I can describe her, Cecily answers, "Of course. I love Ajay. Why do you ask?"I explained how we lost cont
The Alpha's Cure Life Flashes
My life flashes before me as we drop to the ground. I open my eyes and am in the top bunk bed at my foster home. It's a clear night. As I gaze out into the stars, I think, I wish someone loved me.The Michaels have four foster children. All four of us are girls. We're all around the same age. I climb out of bed to use the toilet and overhear my foster parents discussing how one of the girls has been adopted.I hurry back to my room, crying. Now, staring into the night sky again, I whisper, "Please let someone love me." The following morning, Aunt Irene adopted me.It's my senior year of high school. My boyfriend, Benjamin, and I ditch prom and drive to the marina. We sneak in and lie in someone's boat. Lying beside each other, we gaze up into the sky, and he asks, "Do you think anyone's truly out there?"I answer, "Look how beautiful and vast the sky is. How can it not be?"Nodding, Ben says, "I agree. So, is it God or aliens?""Definitely, God. Aliens are techies, according to what t

After weeks of sailing, we find nothing. We return to Brazil, and Jude says, "Let's just go home."The closer we get to Knight Island, the more uneasy I feel. Early morning, we leave Florida. Soon, the island appears, but it's no longer the paradise I knew. It's burning wasteland. Wide-eyed, I look at Jude, but he's expressionless. I stammer, "W-What happened?"Knight Island looks exactly like the island I spent a night alone on. Had I swam all the way here and then returned to another location near Columbia? Our boat hits a rock behind this burned-down villa. Jude anchors our boat and then stretches out his hand. Nervous, I lightly place my palm in his. He helps me to shore. Once he releases me, I stare into his eyes.Exhaling, he pans across the island, saying, "They would've told my secret. I start to panic, but a still voice calmly says, "Agree with him."Through a shaky voice, I say, "You're right, babe."Jude cuts his eyes at me and says, "Come here. I'll carry you."He lifts

Mrs. Dotson taps her ruler on her desk, saying, "Sit down, students. Class is in session. It's October 30. Today we will explore stories of myths and monsters."A crisp autumn breeze gusts through the room from the opened window. The ten children are prim and proper for school, in their uniforms. Each innocent face intently gazes at Mrs. Dotson, anticipating her reading.She looks up and sees me standing in her doorway. Her eyes light up, and she says, "Kind day to you, Mr. Knight. Is there something that you need?""I'm celebrating my birthday. I hoped to leave a tad earlier. Will you see to it that my class leaves on time?""Anything for you, Mr. Knight.""Thanks."I enter my mill and chain myself in the dungeon. Everyone I love dies. It's been 500 years, and I'm still here. As the sun sets and the full moon rises, I begin my change. Though I can control my inner beast, tonight I'm frustrated and want to kill. But killing will attract unwanted attention. Once I'm transformed, I let
