Skye's POV

My 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

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

    Skye's POVEveryday I would go to Keira's side and tell her all about my day. Her wounds were almost healed, so they took of the bandages, but she was still not waking up.I didn't have the courage to face Nathan, so every single time I smell his scent on his way here, I would instantly flee so that I won't bump into him.But since it was thursday, and he had school, I stayed with Keira longer today, and when I looked at the clock, seeing that it was almost 5:00 o'clock.I got up and mumbled a goodbye at Keira. But like every time, she wouldn't respond to me. Just the sound of the monitors beeping. And her eyes, her vibrant eyes were still closed, as her face remained peacefully asleep.I was about to get out when I heard a commotion outside.I opened the door slightly, curious what it was, only to see Alec carrying a girl, I thought it might just be Erin at first but it seems like that wasn't the case since the girl has auburn hair.He was talking to her about something that I can ba

    Skye's POV"Ok, so explain to me why there's another new girl yet again, sitting with Alec? Who is she? Why has no one mentioned her to me?" Keira asked, glaring at Kristen who was laughing along with Alec and his friends in the dining table. I heard from Nathan that it was her name, we bumped and saw each other a couple of times in the hallway but we never really talked, and she seems pretty decent. But I just can't shrug away the feeling that something was off with her.It was only Keira and I right now, since Nathan has yet again abandoned us, and was off somewhere on his own.Don't get me wrong, we already made up, but things have been a little sticky after Keira woke up.He's always running errands and also skips school more often than usual.Just what is he up to?"Hey! Skye. Are you listening to me?" Keira snapped her fingers right in front of me, taking me back from my stupor."What?" I asked cluelessly. Keira was now really acting grumpy, adding to the fact that I didn't lis

    Skye's POV"Skye, look, Nate is looking at you." Keira suddenly nudged my shoulders while were eating in the bustling cafeteria full of students.It was just me and her right now, since Nate, for whatever reason he has, has left us again on our own. "Who?" I asked, not knowing who the person she was talking about."Aside from Alec, he's like the second king in this school. He just got back from vacation so you probably haven't seen him yet. He's the son of Alpha Erik, their pack is not as strong as ours but if we rank them, they could be the fourth in the state." Keira said excitedly telling me to turn my head around.And since she was being annoying about it, I helplessly sighed and spun my head, and she was right, someone was indeed looking at me.He had brown curly hair and eyes, he's quite charming than most guys I see in this school, and when he saw me looking at him, his smile grew wider and his cute little dimples appeared on each side of his cheeks.He suddenly stood up and hi

    Skye's POV"Where's Nathan?" I walked up to Keira, and asked when I saw that she was coming out of their classroom alone."He told me he got some emergency, that he needed to go first. Honestly I don't know what's going on with him." She ran a hand over her face.Thinking that he might still be inside campus, I asked Keira if she wanted to go look around for Nathan, but based on her expression it looks like I'll be looking for that guy on my own."I can't. Ever since the accident my parents has been really overprotective of me." She said dropping her head."It's okay, you go first. I'll just check if he's in the school ground or gym." I told her and she nodded her head at me."You sure?" She asked."Don't worry about me, go home." "Okay, but don't be back late." I smiled at Keira as I watched her leave. The hallways were almost empty since I waited for Keira's class to be over, and now it's a bit late.I walked silently in the hallway to the school quadrangle, and my heels would caus

    Alec's POV"If you hear or see anything suspicious you all know what to do." My father said with a firm voice, and dispatched our warriors to search the fallen pack of Kristen's family for anything valuable.Everything was mostly destroyed, burned and teared apart.There were broken trees everywhere, and blood smudges on the tree trunks that we passed through.We walked carefully and when I turned to Kristen, she seemed fine. There wasn't any kind of expression in her face that would tell me that she was uncomfortable.Alpha Erik took care of most of the corpses and buried their dead bodies on their grounds. But there were still a lot of bodies that were yet to be taken care off. And we cannot let the authority see any of this, or else it would only bring us great trouble.The closer we were at the houses, the greater the smell of death.

    Skye's POV"I heard what happened last night. I thought everything was okay between you two?" Keira asked me while we walked into the streets to this shop she was telling me that sells good coffee.School was suspended for the day for unknown reasons. But it's not like we were complaining about it. Instead of going home, we decided to go around town. And come to think of it, this might actually be my first time strolling around.I usually just go to school then back to the pack house again, except of course the party thing that I attended, but aside from that, my days have been pretty much dull and have the same routine every single day.I've always felt that I've troubled them too much, not to mention it's Alec's mother who's been paying for everything for me. So I try to stay away from trouble as much as possible.I wonder where she is now. I've never seen her again after the first day I got here. "Hey Skye! There you go again, you're not listening to me."

    Skye's POV"You look pale. Are you really okay Skye? We can drop by at the infirmary and get you checked you know." Keira was rattling nonstop since we got out of the alley. My heart was still beating fast even after we arrived at the pack grounds."I'm fine Keira." I tucked in a strand of my hair to my ears, looking around, anxious that the man might have followed us here."If your sure then I won't press." She caressed my shoulder and hugged me. "I have to go, dad's looking for me and he'll surely raise hell if I stall longer here." She chuckled at the last part and started jogging away."Bye..." I waved my hand and stood there a few seconds. And when she was gone, I immediately strutted fast, going to Alec's house.I initially didn't want anyone to know what happened, but I can't just stay quiet knowing that the man might be after Alec's family, especially since he knows me, about us being mated to each other."Hi, is Alec here?"

    --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 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 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
