He did not reply. Instead, he comes to squat next to me, picking up all the books I scattered around me. Then he goes to put them back in their places.My eyes followed him everywhere, feeling kind of lonely just staring at him. Sometimes, it feels as if he is the one person who brings out my starving lonely side. “Alright. Let's go” he announced, pulling me to a standing position. “Where are we going?” I ask.“to Lunch” he declares strictly. I frown, pulling my hands away. “I am not hungry” I lied. It just suddenly hurt that he never cared that Rayah has been starving me. But today when I am going to get my ass kicked, he wants to take me to lunch? No thank you!“You dont have a choice though. lets go” he warns. “I am not hungry” I repeat with a brooding air, pulling my lips in a brooding pout before turning away to put some distance between us.“How would you like to be carried into a fancy restaurant? I daresay we will make local news” he suggests.It felt like a sweet threat t
Neerah“I am sorry. I don't know what came over me! Shit!” He apologised!It's like pouring cold water over my feverish state! It felt like a surprise zombie attack. I went from a hundred degrees to zero flat. I am so outraged! He is playing pingpong with my emptions! There is self pity, disgust and a number of other emotions I didn't wish to delve into right now. I closed my eyes, feeling a blanket of negative energy wrap around me like vice. It feels like emotional abuse. I am the one who let it happen to me. No one else. Not even the perpetrator of my doom.We did not have lunch that day. But he still bought me food to take ho9me.I want to shout at him that I do not need his money or his damn food. What I need most is for him to stop giving me hope! I need for him to choose if he was the hero in my story, or the damn villain!I wouldn't speak to him again because I am so emotional. Honestly? I want to hate him too but I know know that I could not. It feels physically impossible.
It was only the next day when I found out that they both went for Alpha June’s wedding. It's a destination wedding in Hawaii, and they would be spending an entire week over there. I didn't think it was possible to feel more. But I did. And I awoke the next day with a fresh perspective. For the first time, I went to school like any other person. I finally registered my courses and went to class for the first time ever. I have to graduate to get into college. I need a tonget away from here. If I won't die, I will live well no matter what it took.Burying my feelings was not easy. But I focused on school. I am not dumb. Perhaps I'll get a scholarship, and the money the Alpha would owe me wouldn't exceed the reality of my life!Hopefully.…….“Neerah Knight!” Mr Russo calls my name after calling a couple of others. He is distributing our scripts for the midterms. He smiled proudly at me when he gave it to me. “you did well! You're the only one with a perfect score!” he praised.I smi
Alpha Cuan“When is the flight?” Rayah asks with a bright smile. We are both in a car heading to the airport with Chase as out driver.“In an hour's time” is all I said. We reached the airport and Rayah opens the door to exit. She is brimming with excitement. I am sire it feels good to have one over June. And maybe, over Neerah as well.Too bad it was not going to happen. It takes her a moment to realize that I haven't come out of the car yet and Chase is still sitting inside the car and he made no move to go out as well.“aren't You coming out?” She asks, looking like she realized exactly what is happening but that she is hoping it is not true.“No” I reply succinctly. “you shall go to Alpha June’s wedding on my behalf Rayah. You will meet my mom over there. Send my regard” I explain. Her mood hits zero instantly. Her expression freezes over with frost. But She had to look away to avoid coming off too strong. I am still her Alpha!I feel bad about earlier today. I know that Neera
NeerahI have never been so scared in my life. I just always thought that werewolves are the same in looks you know? Seeing the large monster makes me readjust my standpoint. The stench from that thing is life changing! I can't even decide if it was ugly or beautoful because damn! It looks odd and slimy like.“He is big. But he is weak” his voice is calm and casual. I cannot look away from the lycan because I am so scared. But I would love to see the expression on the Alpha's face. Is he freaking for real!This big giant cannot be weak. Heck! The mass should make up whatever it's lacking!Today just isbt my day. First, Alpha Cuan appears to ruin my day by acting the hero just now when I dont even need him…Well, that’s not technically right. This lycan mightt prove too much for the orheer werewolves. only about half can shift.Knowing this, I move closer to the Alpha, seeeking the comfort of his presence. He did not move to fight the lycan. Instead, he says “fight” and damn if he
NeerahAfter introductions, everyone is still pretty awkward as we wait for the doctor to dress Princeton's wounds. I know that my presence is making the entire stay extra studious but I couldn't leave. I want to know how he is doing after that terrible attack. I can't quite explain why I feel so responsible. But I do. I wished that the Alpha was kinder…Anyways, unfortunately for Princeton, he is the only one who got hurt.“Is that blood on your arm?” Ruby asks with surprise. I didn't even go near the fight so why will I have blood on me?I checked the place she is pointing out. I found out that it is indeed blood. Yikes! Where did I get that!No one could explain it because we are all quiet. “I am not hurt” I clarify.Everyone hedges a sigh of relief and somehow, we all just ignore it. Everyone is looking quite a little bloody at the point so it's not that impossible. Maybe in the chaos, I forgot to remember when it happened.So an hour later, we were allowed to see him. He looks
NeerahEveryone left and I am alone with Princeton. Actually, I didn't want to leave until his parents arrived to take care of him. Although he has friends and an entire pack behind him, I still thought he would find It nice to have someone there before his parents arrive. He was hurt badly. Werewolf or not, he is in pain right now. “So, are we forgiven?” Princeton asks.I nod a little. “You do know you are very popular in school right? No one expected you to be intelligent” he states by way of striking a conversation. “Why?” I ask, trying to be a little more open to the conversation. Maybe all the gloom is in my head. Maybe I am still quite unstable…“The boys are scared that you might be mated to our Alpha. And the girls are scared of Miss Rayah” he elaborated.“I am doomed!” I express in a duh tone. I really don't like Rayah. But right now, I really don't like her so much.“We came together. Me and my boys, Amber and her girls and we just wanted to reach out. We thought that to
Alpha Cuan“Alpha, Rayah wants to see you,” Chase tells me. I haven't been to my office long but I don't intend to stay too long. I just need to pour over paperwork for a little while before joining border patrol until it is time for the meeting with the other Alphas. Alpha Daren has been spotted outside his pack house. Which means that he is fully intending to attack again.I know he attacked a neighboring pack and killed thirty werewolves in total. The tension in the elder council has ensured that a meeting for all Alphas must be done to discuss the way forward.“Neerah isn't using her card much. Does she know how much is in it?” I ask. It's worrying that she keeps on stressing herself. I have had to get others to follow her around to make sure she is safe. In fact, creating the account itself was hard work. Not quite sure she would feel comfortable with the arrangement, we just used her old account to deposit the money. Thankfully, the ATM card was delivered by her father from s
