Everleigh's Point of View
"K-Keith, let's go..." My hands were shaking and I grabbed Keith's hand to leave but before we could leave a hand stopped me.
"Everleigh..." I heard Sage's voice so I looked at him full of anger. I let go of his hand that was holding my arm.
"Leave." I said harshly but he didn't move at all. He's just looking at me intently. I can also read begging in his eyes.
"Let's talk---" Before he could finish what he had to say, my right hand spontaneously raised to slap him on his right cheek. The sound of my slap echoed. His head tilted because of that but he immediately returned his gaze to me. I looked at him angrily.
"Bullshit, Sage! We have nothing to talk about! Just fucking leave and don't ever come back!” I shouted at him. He was about to reach my hands again but Keith held me and suspected that I would enter the house again.
Aunt Kris immediately went near us, still carrying the sleeping Bella. I immediately took Bella from her and hugged her tightly. The tears I had been holding back came out on their own. My heart feels heavy right now.
“Bella…” I whispered while crying.
"What happened, Everleigh? Who's that guy?" I heard Aunt Kris asked.
"It was Bella's father, Mom." I heard Keith answer for me. I heard that Aunt Kris gasped. Only Keith who's the one knows my story.
"Go to your room first, Everleigh. I'll take care of it…” I heard Keith say so I turned to him. I saw the sadness in his eyes when he saw me crying.
He immediately went near me and wiped my tears.
"Shhh... Don't cry... I won't let him get close to you and Bella..." He uttered. I nodded several times. He smiled.
I breathed a sigh of relief in the days that passed because Sage didn't bother us again. I don't want to see him again. I won't let him see and touch Bella either. I became the mother and the father of Bella when he denied my daughter that night so he has no rights to Bella.
Today, Bella and I are the only ones left at home. Aunt Kris and Keith left to go to the market to buy some stuff and food. While waiting on the terrace I played with Bella. She's giggling so I smiled and kissed her fluffy cheeks.
“Everleigh…” My smiles quickly faded when I heard the voice of the man I hated again. I quickly stood up to go into the house but it was too late because Sage blocked me.
"What do you want, Sage?! Did I tell you not to bother me anymore?!” I couldn't stop my voice from rising even though I was holding Bella.
He looked at me sadly but when Bella started crying he turned his gaze to Bella. He was about to touch Bella but I immediately pulled back.
"Don't you ever try to touch her, Sage." There was a threat in my voice.
"I-Is she your daughter?" Sage asked stutteringly. I looked at him badly.
"Yes, Sage. She's my daughter, she's only mine." I answered him in a hard voice. He smiled a little and turned his gaze to his car. A man came down with paper bags on his hands.
When he got close to us, he placed his things in front of me.
“Please get this, Everleigh. I brought this for you and for my daughter…” Sage uttered, making me laugh.
"Wait, what?" I asked in amazement.
"I brought that for you and for my daughter---" What he was going to say was interrupted when I laughed again. I'm laughing sarcastically.
What's wrong with this guy? After he denied everything, he was here as if nothing had happened to us.
"Your daughter? Sage, are you out of your fucking mind?!” I was annoyed by my question. He held his head and looked at me sadly.
"This baby is not your daughter, Sage. You denied us, Sage. Can't you remember? After that night, you just threw me like you didn't do anything and now you're calling my daughter like that? Go away, Sage. Take everything you have with you and don't come back." I said hard again. His lips parted. I didn't want to talk to him anymore because Bella was already crying so I turned my back on him but before I could take a step I heard him speak again.
"I'm sorry for denying you and our daughter, Everleigh..." Sage uttered.
"It's too late, Sage." I answered coldly and went inside the house.
"Why are you quiet, Everleigh? Is there something happened?” I heard Keith ask. He and Aunt Kris arrived a while ago. I was thankful because Sage left before they arrived.
"I'm fine, Keith. I'm just a little tired because Bella took long before she sleeps." I answered. He smiled and caressed my hair.
"I'm sorry because I’m not here when Bella cried." He answered, so I smiled at him.
"It's fine. Aunt Kris needs you more and I can do it…” I uttered. He smiled again.
"By the way, I brought some snacks. Your favorites. I'll just get them…” He said goodbye. I quickly nodded and turned my gaze to Bella who was asleep in the crib.
I never mentioned Sage coming here to Keith. I'm sure he'll be mad when I tell him.
As the days passed by, Sage didn't come back again and it's a relief for me because honestly I'm tired of arguing with him but I don't know because there's a part of me that wants to see him again.
One afternoon, I was going home. I came from work. I'm just humming a song while walking and when I got close to the house, I frowned when I heard someone fighting. I sped up my pace and that's how surprised I was when I saw Sage and Keith punching each other. My whole body went cold when I saw that Sage's face was covered in blood. I ran up to them and got between them.
"Please fucking stop!" I shouted.
Everleigh's Point of View"Could you just enjoy it for a while? Even just for a few hours, Everleigh…” I heard Cassy complain behind me. I just sighed because she had said those words several times earlier. I could hear it but I chose to be silent."Everleigh, are you listening?!" Her voice was raised so I looked at her lazily. When our eyes met, I immediately read the annoyance in her eyes."I'm busy---" What I was about to say was cut off when she dropped the glass she was holding on the table."You're always saying that, Everleigh! Look at you! You're only twenty but you're working too much!" She exclaimed so I looked at her in disbelief. I laughed sarcastically."Because I don't have money, Cassy. We have different states in life, Cassy and I know you know that. You can hang out and have fun all the time but I'm not because I need to fucking work for my living.” I told her harshly. I immediately saw the passing of conscience in her eyes. She was about to reach me but I turned her
Everleigh’s Point of ViewIt felt like someone punched my head when I woke up, but when I realized I was in an unfamiliar room, I quickly stood up. Nervous. But when I noticed Cassy next to me, the nervousness and fear in my chest immediately disappeared.I looked around the room where we slept. Who brought us here?I tried to remember what happened to me and Cassy last night but my headache only got worse because I couldn't remember anything except that Cassy and I got drunk because of how much we drank but I couldn't remember how we ended up in this room.My thoughts were interrupted when I heard Cassy wake up. She also held her head when she got up, maybe she had a headache. My hand also automatically landed on her hair to pull it.“Ouch!” She complained. She gave me a bad look but that gradually disappeared when she realized we were in another room."Where are we?" Cassy asked so I glared at her."Ask yourself, Cassy. Because of you we got drunk like this. No more next time!” I sa
Everleigh’s Point of View"Are you listening, Everleigh?" I looked at Cassy in surprise. I could see the surprise and annoyance in his eyes."Y-Yes..." I immediately answered even though I didn't really understand what he was saying. Two weeks have passed since Cassy and I went to the bar in town. The mark in my neck disappeared but the scar is still there. I can still see that it is a mark from the wolf.I forgot to say that our province isn't a typical province you know. Our province is a place where wolves are living. The wolves that live here in our province are divided into three groups. The royal family where the Alpha, Beta, and their families belong, the Elites where living in the town. They're rich and powerful too while the last group are the Lower Settles where I belong. Cassy belongs to the Elites. We’re both full wolf blooded."Tsk, you're not listening to me Everleigh. What is happening to you? How many days have you been like that?" She said so I stared at her.“Nothing
Everleigh's Point of View"What's happening to you, Everleigh?" I heard Cassy asked me so I looked at her annoyed."Can you leave me alone? I badly want to be alone.” I was annoyed to answer. I saw the surprise in her eyes so it was like cold water was poured on my body because of what I had done to her."I'm sorry for bothering you, Everleigh. I'm just worried about you.” She uttered sadly and turned her back on me. My shoulders slumped as she completely disappeared from my sight."Aishhhh!" I said annoyed. What is happening to me? I'm always irritated these past few days. I'm not like this before.I finished everything I was doing and when it was night I went home.It's like I lifted something heavy because I feel bad. I'll probably just sleep so I will be okay. The next day, as soon as my eyes opened, I quickly stood up and ran into the bathroom. I vomited. My stomach feels like it's spinning. After throwing up I felt like a wilted vegetable.I slowly went to the kitchen and dran
