Being the only human in a werewolf city had to be the scariest thing ever but my family had nowhere else to go after the war broke out between humans and werewolves, apparently some over-bearing scientist who thought they could just have an experiment on every creature they encountered.
After capturing a werewolf they decided to carry out their so-called experiment which became the beginning of a raging war. Fortunately for my family, my father happened to be an old friend of a Beta whose life he saved and the only reason the Alpha let us stay here on his land.
So far, it hasn't been easy. I had to ignore every snarl and growl hauled at me each time I went out on the streets, they don't trust us. We knew that but since we had nowhere else to go, we just had to earn their complete impossible trust!
"Lex, have you thought about what I told you last night?" My mom asked, adjusting the pair of glasses she had on.
I pretended to be engrossed in the novel I was reading just to avoid her questions, she raised the issues about me attending the werewolf academy ever since a letter arrived which stated that since I was almost becoming part of the pack I should be enrolled into the werewolf academy, a place I would be trained and groom to be strong, shits and all. It's like they wanted to turn me into a werewolf or something.
Plus I suspected it was also a way to earn our loyalty or whatever they are after. I couldn't even bear to walk on the streets alone then how was I supposed to cope in a school full of werewolves? Who are basically animals?
"Lex!" Mom called impatiently, staring at me sternly.
I sighed, finally putting my book away. "I don't want to go!" I answered chewing on my bottom lip, it just doesn't seem right, I wished I could have a talk with the Alpha myself. Okay, that was just wishing for the impossible because I’ve never seen the scary Alpha creature people seem to speak so highly of–including Dad.
"The orders came from the Alpha. Lexi, so I'm afraid you have no say in the matter." That came from my Dad who just walked in dressed for work, he's a scientist by the way.
"What?" My eyes widened, being an American teenager this has to be the most dreadful thing i ever heard. "Everyone has the right to do whatever they want! I'm eighteen Dad, meaning I'm legally at the right age to decide what’s good and bad for me and I know schooling here is dangerous and bad news for me!" I protested.
Dad chuckled like I said something funny. "Things are pretty different here Lexi. The Alpha makes the laws and no one dares to do otherwise." his expression turned serious.
Without having set my eyes on the Alpha, I was already beyond terrified of him. Why were they oppressing people with so many rules?
"And–" Mom continued with a cheerful smile on her face. "The letter also stated that they guarantee your safety so you don't need to be worried."
"How can you trust their words? These people are basically animals!" I rolled my eyes which made both my parents glare at me.
"That's something about them, they're very loyal and tolerate no betrayal, they don't go back on their words." Dad explained and knowing I already lost the so-called battle. “And please stop referring to them as an animal, you should know better.” He added, inserting the usual sternness in his voice that gets me to behave.
"Fine, you guys won!" I agreed in a voice that seemed forced.
"Good, since Alpha already permits you, you won't have any issues getting enrolled into the school. I will speak to the school president on my way back from work, Alice?" He called, turning his attention back to Mom.
Knowing I was out of the conversation I put on my glasses and once more I pretended to be engrossed in my book while listening to their conversation.
"Where's the letter? I think I'll need it as evidence to make things easier." Dad said with a twinkle in his eyes like seriously he's happy about me going to that school? I watched as Mom's hand it over to him then he left. I was curious to know more about the letter so I leaned towards Mom.
"Is that all that the letter says?" I inquired in case there was something I needed to be worried about.
She made a face. "Why don't you go down to the store and get groceries for dinner," She responded, disregarding my question.
"Sure,” I answered somewhat dejectedly.
To say, I’m still not used to the way they looked at me, as if I was the alien among them. In their world, I supposed I was. Ignoring the discriminating looks, I tried to go into the store, distracted by my thoughts. I didn't notice I was walking right into someone and when I did in fact notice, it was too late.
“Oops—“ The words hardly left my mouth before I was shoved away, staggering backwards from the impact, until I ended up landing flat on my butt.
A dark look flashed across her face as she growled at me, terrified by her reaction, I quickly got up on my feet. She way her eyes observed mine as if searching for something, she looked intimidating as fuck! “I’m sorry.” I quickly offered an apology, hoping she will back off once she sees how sorry I was.
“You should be.” Her features relaxed, making her appear less scary. “You’re human.” Although the statement shouldn’t even be a question but somehow it was.
Still wary of her calm demeanour, I nodded. “Yes, that’s right.” At least she’s no longer making that scary animalistic sound.
“Why don’t I show you around the store?” She offered, entwining her arms with mine and spurning us around toward the entrance.
My guard went up as my suspicious rose, no one around here has been that nice around me, in fact I accept that the people here weren’t capable of being friendly even if someone hit them in the face with it. My suspicions were proved right when the girl suddenly twisted my arm, causing me to cry out from the pain.
“Next time, watch where you’re fucking going!” Shoving my face into the glass entrance door, she lets go of me and walks away.
Rubbing my arm, I blinked the tears that blurred my vision as I watched her disappear into the distance. Taking a deep breath and brushing the pain aside like I always do, I went into the store to get what I came here for.
By the time I arrived home it was pretty late, I was the last person they attended to just because I wasn’t a freaking were-human or whatever name they go by! The injustice here was driving me crazy but since the war with humans is still raging on, it happens to be the best place for us right now.
"Mom, I'm home!" I announced, stepping into the house. The house was originally given to us by the Alpha, I guess kindness pays sometimes but they would never understand as they would rather snarl in your face. My father's act of kindness happened to be what got us here in the first place, we have a house, protectio, I guess being bullied was a small price to pay.
"Well that was quick." She answered, sarcastically as I joined her in the kitchen.
“What do you think? I was the very last person they attended to just because I’m not a freaking werewolf! Are you guys certain of my safety if I go to this so-called school?” I made a face, folding my arms across my chest as I waited for a response.
"Lexi, look on the bright side, we have a roof over our heads and we are safe. What more could you possibly want?" She asked in a tired but stern tone of voice.
"Freedom!" I bit back. “And the right to walk safely on the road without fear of my life, I feel like a cage animal and all the so called Alpha—“
"That's enough! Enough!" She shouted, cutting me off with a frightened look on her face. The moment was then disrupted by a heavy pounding on the door. “One of these days, you’re going to get us killed!” She hissed, hurrying out of the kitchen to answer the door.
I tagged along with her, a bit fearful of whatever might be the cause of that knocking, perhaps Mom was right, I had indeed gone far. Two uniformed guards appeared outside the door when she opened it, they briefly looked at her before their eyes moved past her shoulders until it rested on me! It stayed and lingered.
"We are watching you!" One of them growled at me before they turned and left.
Mom turned around to glare at me, "There goes your freedom," she remarked, disappearing back into the kitchen.
Still confused about what just happened, I stood there like what the fuck?!
ALEXIAOn reaching the pack house, I got down from the car along with the rest while Zeke made a U-turn back to the garage. Still feeling flustered by what happened in the car some minutes ago, I squirm around on my feet as I avoided looking directly at Killian. When several seconds passed with neither Ben nor Killian moving, I finally turned to look at him only to find out his attention was on the uniform guard approaching us where we stood at the steps landing that led into the building. I glanced down at my phone, hoping to see a missed call from one of my parents but nothing. I couldn’t help but wonder what form of distraction Killian got them hooked on this time around. “Alpha, Gamma…” The guard's voice pulled me out of my thoughts as he started to pick. ”Everything has been arranged in the yard like you wanted.” He paused, looking around as if searching for something. “Mrs. Moonshade arrived half an hour ago, I’d like to make this known to Beta Zeke.” “Don’t worry Oliver, I’l
ALEXIA I couldn’t be more relieved when school hours ended, because wearing Killian’s hoodie was getting me more attention than I usually received and it’s never the good kind. I stopped outside the classroom, my eyes searching for Raven in the crowd of people making their way out of the school building but there was no sign of her, usually she would be out here waiting for me. “Looking for me?” I turned sideways as Leo came up beside me, if I hadn't been too distracted, I would have noticed him approaching. “Hi.” I said, returning my attention back to what I was doing before he interrupted. “I’m actually looking for Raven, something must have held her up because she’s usually out here waiting for me. Maybe she hasn’t left her department yet, so I better go look for her there.” I joined the line of students, heading for the exit. He fell into steps beside me, adjusting his backpack over his shoulders. “Would have loved to come but I have practice. Tell Raven I said hi…” his voice
ALEXIA I felt powerless against them as they dragged me into the toilet but before they had the chance to carry out their threats, the bell rang, causing them to pause and looked at Izzie for directions on what to do next. From the dynamics of the group, I could tell she was their leader and they were her minions and unless they wanted to catch bullying someone…well in this case since the bullied one happens to be a human, I doubt anyone was going to bait an eye. “Let her go.” She ordered, her face set angrily at me. “Saved by the bell but next time you won’t be so fucking lucky! Consider what happened as a warning, a tip of the ice-berg because I’ll make life a living hell for you, if you don’t go ahead and tell Killian you’ve granted me your useless forgiveness.” I stared at her as water dripped from my hair down to my face, which resulted in me shivering from coldness. I said nothing, watching them leave one after the other, casually talking about what they were going to have fo
ALEXIA His hand left the back of my neck to cup my face, his lips capturing my upper lip in a very slow, sensual way. His movement was deliberately slow yet passionate as if he were whispering so,e unknown secret to me. Wrapping his other hand around my waist and using it to pull me even closer to his frame, a breathy moan escaped me when my pelvis jammed into his. My hands moved to wrap around his neck and as if sensing that, he stepped back slightly not breaking the kiss until my arms were firmly wrapped around his neck, locking us in a tight embrace. When another breathless moan slips out of me, his movement grows urgent, hungry and impatient, making my knees go weak. At that moment, it didn’t matter if he hated me or I hated the feeling he easily aroused within me, nothing else mattered but the feel of his lips on mine, the hungry way he kissed me or the gentle but firm hold he had around my waist. Giving in to the urge I had ever since he stepped out of the shower, I slowly win
ALEXIA Shattering the moment between us, he threw his head back and laughed. A rich, deep sound coming from deep within his chest. Being under the effect of his laughter, a smile spread across my face but then a sharp knock on the door put a temporary end to the moment. While still staring at me, he breaks away to answer the door and I stood there mentally scolding myself for my inability to control my emotions where he was concerned. I couldn’t help it, it‘s like each time I’m near him, there’s a universal force that seems to push those feelings past my defenses to the surface. “Here are the nesting materials you ordered us to get you Alpha.” I blinked out of my thoughts on hearing the servant’s statement. Well, guess someone cared more than they were letting me believe, I thought looking directly at Killian as the servants set the items down. Once they left, and with a startling realization that I have no idea how to build a freaking nest! “We should eat.” He abruptly announced,
ALEXIA I looked up from my phone as I felt the car slowing down in front of a shiny black iron gate. A few seconds later, the double gate started to slide open causing me to stare wordlessly at the mansion it revealed. I have never been to the pack house before or even imagined what it would look like but it doesn’t matter because my imagination wouldn’t have prepared me for the magnificent view in front of me. Wild plants stood at either side of the long driveway to the mansion entrance. I wanted to baldly get down from the car so I could absorb the view at a slower pace. We drove past a water fountain, a large wolf sitting at the top, giving an illusion of a wolf growling at a threat while the waters danced around it. Before we reached the entrance, Killian cornered the car into another driveway and soon enough I found out this led to the garage. There were guards in uniform as well as different varieties of vehicles I couldn’t even begin to name, some I recognized and most I didn
ALEXIA I hurried out of the classroom after school dismissal, an incoming text message from my phone made me stop abruptly in my tracks. A text from Raven telling me she’s waiting for me at the parking lot and another one from my Mom, letting me know she might not be home until later. Her own text showed it was sent hours ago, meaning it probably came in while I was at the cafeteria or in class. Putting my phone back inside my backpack, I was on the verge of leaving but was forced to a stop as Izzie appeared in front of me. I frowned at her, wondering what the hell she wanted while also taking note of the fact that she wasn’t alone. I flinched when she stretched out her hand, but then I noticed she was gesturing towards my backpack. I don’t know but things would be so much easier if she always started with words. “Do you mind?” I hissed, frowning at her. “I’m here to carry your things, ‘Killian said, I have to earn your forgiveness’ so if you want me to get out of your hair then ac
ALEXIA His statement hung between us in silence for a couple of seconds before I opened the door and exited the room without giving him a reply or even looking back at him. I made my way back to class, relieved that the mystery behind my project had been resolved. No sooner than I sat down, Izzie approached my desk making me think she had been lying about where she kept the egg. She handed it to me, her lips pressed into a thin line as if trying to suppress the need to say something rude. Keeping my eyes on her, I examined the egg, making sure there wasn’t any crack on it. “Thank you.” I muttered, glancing up at her when she still lingered. “Is there anything else I can help you with?” I passively asked her. “I can’t leave…unless you accept my apology.” She answered, pulling at her fingers while directly avoiding my gaze. “But you didn’t apologize.” “I’m sorry.” She replied, making a face that implied her apology wasn’t sincere and honestly, that part wasn’t so shocking to me. “
ALEXIA Raven was the first person I started looking for when I arrived at school the following morning, not that I have any other friend to look for anyone. After the way I spoke to her yesterday when all she was trying to do was help me, I could have handled the situation better than that. I stopped by my locker, a small part of me hoping whoever took my project put it back after experiencing some miraculous change of heart. Opening my locker, I was trifling with disappointment when there was no sign of an egg there. I sensed someone moving up behind me and that caused me to turn around sharply. I felt myself relaxed when the person turned out to be Raven. “Hi!” I said, a bit awkwardly since I wasn’t sure if she was mad at me or something. “I’m sorry for the way I spoke to you yesterday, all you were trying to do was help and I was being difficult.” I added the apology while I held my breath and waited for her to respond. “I understand, I’m glad you’re in a much better mood today
