Alec's POV"So you and my sister got into a quarrel?" Carter asked, as we ate in the cafeteria with the guys. I didn't respond to him since I was still in a foul mood, Carter clicked his tongue and leaned back in his chair realizing I wasn't going to reply to him.The guys around were being loud, talking about all sorts of stuff, women, sports and lewd jokes about how many girls they have banged. I just listened to the them until I heard a commotion, and when I turned to look at what it was about. At first I couldn't believe it, I even scratched my eyes to check if I was hallucinating, but she was still there, smiling, together with my brother and Keira as they walked in the cafeteria. She looked around until her eyes found mine, her smile became even brighter as she jogged in my direction, startling me.Why the fuck was she here? And why the heck is she heading in our table?!"Isn't she the girl who was here a week ago? Why is she here?" "Look, she's going to Alec's group, maybe
Skye's POVIt's been almost a week since I started studying. And I have to say, I quickly adapted to this mundane setting.However, the things that were happening to me were always the same, I wake up early in the morning, eat, drink, and then we go to school using Keira's car.And then when I arrive at the classroom, all guys would swoon over me, I get a lot of glares from the girls, and Alec would basically ignore my presence.Like ever since the restroom incident, he didn't talk to me not even a curt "hi" after that!Like who wouldn't be frustrated from getting such a cold treatment. Like come on, doesn't he have a heart, can't he see my efforts?And thanks to him, now everyone thinks that I was some sort of lovesick at him!"I think you're just doing it wrong. You're chasing the guy Skye, it should be the other way around." Keira said. Was I really being a little bit aggressive with my advances?"Well hold on, I think we shouldn't stick with that kind of broken ideology. If a wom
Skye's POVWe were now standing here in front of a huge gate. It looked like one of the gates of our pavilions back at home, but this was made of metal rather than wood."Are you guys ready?" Keira asked excitedly. And her question made me think if I really did choose the right thing to do of agreeing to this. Since it was like she was preparing me for a whole new world before us."Let's just go inside, no need to be dramatic, your just making it seem like were amateurs at this." Nathan said, annoyed."Hmph! You're such a buzzkill." Keira harrumphed, and pressed a circular button which prompted a sound.Then the huge gates opened on its own. And I was beyond amazed with what I saw the moment we walked inside.The place was swimming with people, and there were flashing lights with different colors and loud music that energized the place. It was so chaotic."Don't worry Skye, it's safe for us to be ourselves tonight here. There's not a single human so it's okay if you feel like turning
Skye's POVI groggily opened my eyes with great difficulty, shuffled around the bed and felt a burning sensation in my throat. My head was also hurting like something was punching me from the inside out.Where am I?[Creak!]A door from my left slowly opened without notice and I immediately straightened myself and put my fist in front of me in a defense manner, in case it was someone who'll try to hurt me.But instead, the person who came out was none other than Alec! And that wasn't the the part that got my attention, but the fact that he wasn't wearing anything but his boxers!He didn't look at my direction so he was oblivious that I was already awake.I tried looking away but for some reason my eyes were glued to his body. Water was dripping from his hair and he was wiping it with a clean white cloth. It seemed he just took a bath.Every time he moves, his biceps would stretch and it would show a fine line of veins.And I was totally mesmerized by his alluring figure, he looked so
Alec's POVThere were a lot of people outside the pack border, everyone had on a completely worried look as they saw me drive my way in.The moment we got out, my mother instantly engulfed me in a tight hug and asked if I was okay."I'm fine mom, nothing happened." I said, trying to calm her down."Skye. Oh thank god you're okay! We thought you were the one who got killed." Keira ran over through the crowd and hugged Skye tightly, crying. Checking her face and body for any injuries."Sorry Skye, we thought you returned here already. I told you I would come back for you. But when I did, you weren't there anymore." Nathan said, walking to them with a guilty face."No it's my fault, I shouldn't have took of somewhere, if it's not for me Nathan wouldn't have left your side. It's all my fault." Keira wailed, burying her face in Kate's neck."Hey it's okay, I'm alright. Plus, Alec was there, and he helped me." Skye turned her head, and smiled warmly at me."Skye dear, you go inside and rest
Skye's POV"You seem down in the dumps, are you okay?" Keira asked me as we lay sprawled in her bed.It was saturday, there were no classes, so we just decided to chill and watch some movies in her room.Nathaniel had some business to do, so it was just the two of us here, alone in this awkward silence."Ok fine, if you don't want to tell me then don't." I could tell she was unhappy, she was trying so hard to cheer me up these past couple of hours, and here I was, disregarding all her efforts.I placed my elbow on the window sill and looked outside with a despondent look."He said no." I said candidly, and Keira jolted in her bed, looking at me with pity in her eyes. "Oh... Skye, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have pushed it." She said."No, it's okay, I still have two chances. I'm sure he'll eventually say the words I long to hear." I urged myself to stay positive."I just thought we had a spark that night. He even gave me his jacket. Maybe I read it all wrong." I muttered under my breath.
Skye's POVMy eyes slowly fluttered open, and I was blinded by the blaring light of the sun that was peeking through my curtains.I groaned uncomfortably, and tried to get up, but when I did, I felt a raging bolt of pain in my back and shoulders."Hey, don't force yourself to get up yet." A voice came to my side, and it turns out, Alec was here, his hair was messy and it seems like he hasn't slept for days seeing the huge black circles under his eyes."How are you feeling?" He asked, but the events that happened that night made it's way in my head like a train wreck suddenly, and my heart beat faster as I hold his his wrist pulling him to me, my eyes pooling with tears."Keira! Where's Keira?!" I asked, crying.But all he gave me was downcasted look, he slowly sat down on the bed, and took my hands with his, and rubbed it gently with his thumbs."She's in a critical condition, but she's going to be alright. The pack doctor is already tending to her and checking her every hour." He sai
Alec's POVIt's been weeks since Skye and Keira have been attacked. And ever since then, Skye stopped talking to me, I also rarely see her anymore.I was used to her always following me around, pestering me everyday.But now, as I walk into this crowded hall without her always talking to me nonstop is bothering me.I thought she loved me? Why was she suddenly giving me the silent and cold treatment? "Hey Alec!" I heard Carter's voice ring through the hall. I looked at where the voice came from, and when I saw him I instantly tried to lift my mood, however, when I looked at the person he was with, my smile gradually fell from my face. He was with Erin.We haven't talked for almost a month, what was she trying to do now. Tagging along with Carter and I?"Alec, I haven't seen you in a while. How have you been?" She greeted first, taking me aback. "Good, you?" I curtly replied, and also reciprocated a question to her."I'm also fine." She smiled at me and tuck a strand of her hair in he
--Alec's POV--I walk inside the house with whirlwind of thoughts going in my head.I thought I already recovered. I tried my hardest to forget about her, but every time I wake up, every time I take a walk and walk alone in the night, all I can ever think is her.And now, this letter arrived, just in time to wreck the wall I tried so hard to build."Hey, what's up with you? Why do you look angry?" Keira asked, walking out of the kitchen. I could smell the scent of baked cookies lingering in the air and figured she must've barged in her for more than an hour."Why are you here?" I asked, narrowing my eyes down at her. "Why are you in a bad mood?" she asked back."I don't want to talk about it," I said, and went up the stair and into my room, closing the door loudly with a bang.I dropped my body on the bed and immediately felt worn out. My mind was exhausted and without even realizing it, I fell asleep quickly. When I opened my eyes and looked at the window it was already dark. "Wha
🌹 ELLA'S POV🌹(1 month later)"Hey girl, have you heard what happened?" Ella came to my desk with a look in her face that says she just heard some juicy gossip."What is it this time,""Oh come on you have to sound more energetic than that, this one's real good," she said, and I rolled my eyes, totally not believing her."Ok fine, if you're not interested then I won't tell you," she huffed crossing her arms.I took a glance at her and sighed, I put my pen down and with a honeyed smile I asked her, "Just tell what it is you want to say," I said, and she was being stubborn at first but soon caved in and let me tell you whenever her mouth opens it really takes a long time before it closes again."Have you heard of that cold professor I thought you had a fling with?" My body froze, knowing the person she was talking about."You mean Alec?" I muttered his name lowly, afraid that he'll pop up the next second I say his name aloud.Alec stopped coming to school, and because of that, we got
The sun rose high up in the sky. Alec set up a tent for both of them and slept through the night at the beach. When he woke up, he moved his hand beside him to pull Skye close to him, but he didn't feel any sign of her anywhere.He abruptly got up looking around, and seeing the empty space beside him, his heart skip a beat. He got out of the tent fast and searched the area for her. He sniffed the air, and when he got a whiff of her scent, his nerves instantly started to calm down. "Where is she?" he looked around, and not too far away, he spotted her dressed in white dress, sitting on the sandy beach, leaning on a tree. Alec slowly walked to her, as if any moment she'll disappear if he doesn't get to her on time. "Skye!" he yelled.Skye looked up to him and smiled, "You're up early," she said, and got up dusting off her dress, but unexpectedly Alec came to her and gave her a tight hug. "I thought you left me," Alec's voice was broken, he hid his face in her neck, pulling her clo
🌹Third Person POV🌹Skye looked at Alec who was walking ahead of her to the car. She was thinking if what the lady there said bothered him, but she chose to stay silent, not wanting to add more to his obvious signs of frustration.When they got inside the car, Alec was still quiet, until half way on the road, he glanced at Skye and took a deep breath. "Skye, you know how much I care and love you right?" He asked, and Skye nodded her head at him, smiling softly. "Of course,""Good, cause I want you to know, everything I did and will do, it's because I love you, but don't ever think that the consequences of my actions is your fault," he muttered, gently brushing Skye's hand with his. Skye looked at him, and a trace of remorse washed over her. She can't help but blame herself. She can't help it, she's the only reason why Alec refuses to move on with his life, she thought when they meet again he would change, even just a bit, but he was exactly the same person he was five years ago.
"So where are you taking me?" Skye asked, looking out of the window. Im sure she was in awe since we never really got out of town. It's probably her first time seeing this kind of bustling city. "How about we go for some rides at the theme park?" I asked her. "What's that?" "It's machines that is shaped like a plane or cars or other stuff, Ooh! And there's also a rollercoaster, I'm sure you'll like them," I said, and she looked really puzzled which made me chuckle. "If you say so. I trust you," she said, smiling while releasing a heavy breathe of air. ..."Ummm...Alec, is this it?" Skye said, sticking to my side like a glue. "Yeah, don't you like it?" I asked her, and she shook her head, "Of course I like it, I just didn't think there would be this much people around," she said, and I was overwhelmed by her innocence to these kind of things. We first tried the carousel and she kind of liked it, but Skye was swaying left and right, unable to maintain her balance. The kids were
"Skye,""Hmmm?" I reached to her, circling my arms around her waste, hugging her deeply."What is this? Did you do something wrong? Why are being so clingy all of the sudden?" She asked, and I chuckled silently. I buried my face deeper into her neck, smelling her heavenly scent."Alec,""Yes?""What do you think about going on a road trip with me this weekend?""Tomorrow?""Yeah,""I guess I'll be a bit busy, but I'll make time to do it with you, how's afternoon? Sounds good?" I asked, and I could see her face lighting up as she nodded her head. ..."W-what??? Is that...""Shit! It's Skye, is that really you Skye?" All eyes turned in my direction as Keira, Derek and Evan looked in my direction with question in their gaze."It's me," Skye softly spoke, looking at them with a gentle gaze, her eyes sparkling with tears.I know she misses Keira very much, and O wasn't wrong, because they soon got into a tight hugging session, and of course the two dimwits joined them. I couldn't hel
I could feel the sun hitting my face. I groaned in discomfort, wanting to close the curtain but it was too far away and I was too lazy to get up such early in the morning.I travelled my hands around, wanting to see if Skye was still around in the bed but I couldn't feel her anywhere."Skye?" I mumbled groggily lifting my head up to see that I was in my room.Not in my current room but in my old room, my room back at my old house. What the fuck is happening?I jolted up and when I looked around I was dumfounded when I realized it really was my room back then.But...how? How did this happen.[Knock! Knock!]"Hey, mom told me to remind you that we're going out of town today. So you better pack your things up or we'll leave you behind," I was shocked when I saw Nathan standing at the door. "Y-you're alive?" I pointed at him.He narrowed his eyes down at me, "Do you wish I'm dead you prick? Tsk!" He clicked his tongue, banging the door close, leaving me totally confused.I looked out o
"Alec...wait for me, hey," she grabbed my hand making me turn back to her."Are you angry?" "What do you think?""Is it about what I said in the room?"I didn't answer her, and just eyed her up and down before crossing my arms, huffing."Come on, I only said that because in true sense you're still my professor, and everyone will bad mouth us if we start telling everyone that we're together," she said. I thought about it for a while and sighed. She does have a point."Fine, I forgive you, but you have to make it up to me," I said, pouting my lips, pretending to be sad. When she laughed at the stupid face I made, I laughed along with her, circling my arms in her shoulders as we got out of the hospital."By the way, did you really pay for everything already?" I asked her."No," she replied and I looked at her as she smiled cheekily at me."So let me guess, I'm the one who's paying for the hospital bills?" I asked."Of course, you owe this family too much, and besides your also gonna d
"How did this happen? How are you here without needing any help? Just how did you manage to resurface?" Freya bombarded her with questions as I made food for us since Skye said she was hungry. "I have my ways Freya, and how are things back in Hephalis, the last time I heard is that there are people who wants to go against the order?" she asked, and my brows furrowed at their conversation.What are they talking about?"We subdued them, not long after your disappearance," Freya answered her, and Skye nodded, smiling at her, "That's good to hear," she said. As I looked at Skye, I noticed some sort of mark in her chest. "What is that?" I neared her as I let the meat boil for a few minutes."What's what?""That," I pointed at her chest and noticed a petal pattern."Oh this, this is nothing. This girl must have got this tattoo," she said, referring to Ella.Alec noticed the odd behavior of Skye, and even Freya's brows scrunched together when she noticed the mark, and her eyes turned into
