Grayson POV
I am sitting on my bed, wondering once again why I am the most hated hybrid in the world. I don't know everyone is so nasty to me. Sure, I have secret hidden powers that I don't even know about but, I have never used them on anyone.
I tried to make friends. It is impossible if no one wants to speak to you. I even sit alone at lunch. They mostly make fun of me for being a freak of nature. The other teenagers cross the road whenever I am on the street. I live a lonely life. If it wasn't for my family, I would have no one.
My mother always figured that I will be the most popular guy in school, but I guess mothers don't know everything, but I am not going to tell her that.
"Gray, are you done yet? You are going to be late for school." My mom peeks in at my door with a smile on her face.
"I am ready, mom. I have never been late for school, and I am definitely not going to start the last day of school." I have always been the rule follower in this family. I know not a 'cool' look on an Alpha. I have read some of my mother's werewolf romances, and all the Alpha's were rule breakers and bad boys.
"I know, Gray. I am just making sure. If I don't check up on you, you will be late every day. Now, get your ass downstairs. Your dad and I have a present for you." My mom is so excited it looks like she is bouncing on her feet. I kiss my mother on the cheek. She left after that.
My mom can be so childish sometimes. That is what I love about her. Its what makes her the greatest mom in the world. She is the kind of mom that played in the mud with me. I finish getting ready and walked downstairs. My mom stops me and puts a blindfold on me.
She starts pushing me. I feel the sun on my skin and realize I am outside. My mom takes off the blindfold and in front of me is a blood-red Lamborghini urus. My dream car.
I turn around and hug my mom. My dad gets out of the car, and I run towards him and gives him a big bear hug.
"What do you think, buddy?" I walk around the car.
"This is amazing, dad. This is my dream car. How did you know?"
"Grayson, there are posters all over your wall of this car, so I took a chance."
"Thank you, dad. Thank you so much. May I ride it to school today?"
"Of course you can. It is your graduation present. Just be careful."
"I always am, remember? Love you, dad."
I climb in the car and start it for the first time. The sound of the car makes me shudder. I am a typical man. I am obsessed with cars.
I arrive at school, and everyone is staring at me. Ok, more like staring at my new car. All the kids used to make fun of me for being a senior and still using the bus for transport to school. Now I kind of can't help feeling a little bit smug at all the envious stares I am getting.
I feel my phone vibrate, and I take it out of my pocket. I see it is a text from my mom.
Honey, come straight home from school. We have a graduating party planned for you, and the whole pack will be there.
I reply saying I will be home on time.
The rest of the day went by without any incidents. Everyone stayed out of my way. I could still hear the whispers, but it didn't bother me that much today. It was the last day I would see anyone of them. It makes me happy. No more bullying!
I drive home, just thinking. My father told me he would like me to take over the pack one day, but nobody knows that. Everyone thinks that I am only a freak of nature since I got turned when my mother was pregnant. They don't know that my father's Alpha blood got transferred to me in my transformation. That might be the reason why nobody wanted to be friends with me. They probably think that one of the twins will be Alpha one day.
I walk into the house and quickly got dressed for the party later. If I know my mother, it already started.
I walk to the training area. That is where all our parties are held. As I predicted, the party already started. My father sees me, and he walks towards the stage.
"Can I have everyone's attention? The guest of honor has just arrived. I would like you to raise your glasses to my son, Grayson, who has finally graduated high school. I am proud of you, son." Every member of our pack turned around and raised their drinks in my direction.
"Son, will you join me on stage?" My father looks at me. I nodded and made my way through the crowd. I went to stand next to my father on the stage.
"I have an announcement to make. All of you know that Grayson isn't my biological son, but something you don't know is that when he was turned in Luna Emelia's womb, he got some of my blood. He has Alpha blood in him so I am standing here in front of you to tell you he will be your new Alpha as soon as I retire. I know he is too young at the moment, that is why I won't swear him in today. I want him to go to Alpha school and then travel the world a bit or the other way around. It is all up to him. Although I would like to get him on his path as soon as possible."
I look out over the crowd and see all the kids in my school's eyes went wide. They finally realized that they made the mistake of excluding the future Alpha.
I turn around and hug my dad. I already made my choice of what I am going to do.
Grayson POVThe party has dwindled down. It is mostly the older crowd that is still out there. I am sitting in my dad's office with my family."So, Grayson, what have you decided what you want to do?" My mother asks me with the most serious face I have ever seen on my mother."I decided, I first want to go to Alpha school, and then, travel the world. I will also like to use this opportunity to search for my mate if that is okay with you?" I look between my mom and dad, trying to gauge their reaction but unfortunately, they have become good at keeping their poker face on. The twins are on their phones looking like they want to be anywhere but here."That is a good idea, son. True power comes from the bond you have with your mate, but let's get back to Alpha school. It will be a 1-year program. You will learn a more advanced fighting technique. You will also learn about problem-solving and the best way to negotiate. This might be the most important cl
Grayson POV (a week later)I am on my way to Alpha school. I cannot believe it has been a week since I graduated from high school. It already feels like a lifetime ago. I cannot wait to start my new chapter in life.The flight here was so long. 15 hours in a plane is torture and the fact that I am afraid of heights didn't help either. My wolf was antsy the whole plane ride. I need to let my wolf out as soon as I can.I caught a cab at the airport and it dropped me off in front of the dorm rooms. I had to leave my brand new car at home since it would cost too much to ship it out. As I look around to see where I should check in I see a lot of young Alpha's standing and joking around with each other. I just hope I will finally be able to fit in. I need to be better.I walk up to the table with the welcome banner in front. There is a girl sitting behind the desk. I am glad that we as werewolves has evolved and we are now letting females be Alpha's. To me girl
Grayson Pov.We woke up at 3 am to make sure that we get to the field in time. We went to the shower house and was lucky to find it empty.By the time we were ready to leave most of the dorm room got up, so we weren't swept up in all the activity.After we almost got lost twice we made it to the field. The instructors were already there waiting for us. I knew by the look on the instructor's face that it was going to be a long dayWe waited for everyone and once everyone arrived the instructors placed everyone into age groups. That means Anthony and I are in the same group."Settle down everyone. Look around you. This will be your group for the remainder of this course. You will train in this group and also eat in this group. Now I'm going to assign you a senior-only for today. He will run in front of you so you can learn the grounds. You have 30 minutes to complete this course first in human form and then in werewolf form. Now go."We ran after th
Mia POVToday is my 18th birthday. Not that it makes a difference. I haven't celebrated my birthday for the past 2 years. I guess I have not been in the celebrating mood."Liam come down for breakfast. You are going to be late for school, again.""Happy birthday Mia. Thank you for everything." Liam hands me a self-drawn card, I opened it up, and inside Liam drew a picture of me and him holding hands."Aww thank you, Liam. Now eat your breakfast. We need to leave."Liam started to wolf down his food as fast as he could. Liam is my younger brother. I have been looking after him for the past 2 years. It hasn't been easy, but we have made it work. As best as we could. I was only a child when I had to take up my brother's responsibility, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I had to drop out of school to find a job to look after him, but it is better than both of us ending up on the system.Liam and I left to pick up my best friend Kai. Ka
Grayson POV (1 week later)My first week at school is over. It was hard adjusting to the new routine, but I made it. It is the weekend and I have been invited to my first party. I can't wait.Antony and I are on our way to the party now. The party is at Richard Dunkeld pack. He is one of the guys in our age group. He comes to school each morning since his pack is based in Australia. Not far from the school.We arrived at the party and the party is already in full swing. There are loud music and alcohol everywhere. I just keep thinking that my parents will never allow something like this. The party maybe but not the booze.Richard came towards me and Anthony."Hey boys. So what do you think?""It looks like a fun party Richard," Anthony replies to Richard."Let me guess. You have never been to a party before?""I have been to lots of parties, but to be honest I have never been drunk in my life," I say feeling a little guil
Mia POVI have been working in the strip club for a week now and I hate every moment of it. The only good thing about this job is the tips I make. I make twice as much in one night than I do for the whole month working at the restaurant.I have learned so much about the clientele in the club. Some come for the dancing other for the stripping, but most of them come just to be social with each other.This week we had a bachelor's party. That was the best customer I had for the whole week. The more they drunk the bigger the tips were. The bachelor wanted a lap dance from me in the back so I went with him, but all he wanted was to talk. He told me that this is not his scene. I was so dumbstruck that I didn't know what to tell him. Cinnamon warned me about bachelor's parties. The groom is usually is the worst of the lot.It's at the end of the night and the girls and I are sitting at one of the tables and counting our tips. Just chatting away.I h
Mia POV (1 month later)Things between me and Kai haven't been the same. We have been avoiding each other since the night he told me about his feelings. Ava is starting to suspect something, but we could brush it off saying that we see each other at work all the time.After that night I decided that is was time to jump into the dating pool. The only problem is that the men I attract are plain creepy. As soon as they hear I am a stripper they think that it is an easy way into my bed and don't get me started about when they hear I am responsible for my little brother.Now I am part of a dating app. Tonight is my first date with this guy. Ava is here helping me get ready for my date."So what is its guy's name?" Ava asks me curling my hair."His name is Patrick Phillips. He is 27 and works at a bank. He has a son of his own, so he will understand that I am looking after my brother.""Sounds like a dream guy for you. I hope this goes well.
Mia POVI went to sit next to Patrick. He takes my hand in his. He looks at me with amazement in his eyes."That was amazing. I see now why you wanted to be a singer. You should do everything in your power to make that dream a reality. You cannot hide that talent away. Everyone in the world needs to hear your voice." Patrick looks so sincere. I haven't sung for anyone since my parents died. I only ever sang for people close to me."Thank you, Patrick. Like I said I haven't sung in a really long time. I am a little rusty.""If that was you being a little rusty. I wonder what you will sound like when you are in practice."I hear someone cleaning his through and we looked up. I see a man in a suit standing there. He is smiling from ear to ear, almost looking like he has won the lottery."I am sorry to interrupt your evening. My name is Domonic. I am the owner of the Fletcher Pub. I was here on a date with my wife and heard you sing. I am
Mia POVGrayson and I have been dating for a couple of months. His mother Emelia has been showing me the ropes of being Luna.Ava and Kai wanted to be part of the pack and when they told me that I was overjoyed. Their ceremony was 2 weeks ago. They had a beautiful baby boy. Ava told me in a moment where we were alone that she wanted her son to be apart of a loving pack. I agree with her. When she told me about how her life was growing up, my heart broke for her."Happy thoughts Mia. Today is your wedding day." Ava said while laying down her bundle of joy. Grayson's mother and sister came in with the biggest smiles on their faces."Did they deliver the dresses?" Evie asked me. I pointed to her dress. I asked Ava and Evie to be my bridesmaids. Evie was so happy she started dress shopping immediately. I told them the dresses need to be light pink and that they can pick out their dresses themselves."Well, time to get ready." Emalia paid for the hairdr
Mia POVToday is the day that I finally say goodby to this hospital room. Grayson had said sorry to me over a million times. I do not blame him for anything that happened.When that woman came into the room the first time I realized that she is sick. She lived in her own world and there is nothing we could do about that.I have been in the hospital for 2 weeks. It was the most horrible time of my life. Grayson kept asking me about what happened while I was taken. There is nothing I could tell him. The only cruelty that she showed me is, not giving me anything to eat or drink.In these 2 weeks Ava, Kai, and Grayson have gotten to know each other. Ava absolutely loves Grayson.She told me all about the time after I went missing. She told me that Grayson only went to bed after I was found. That was sweet of him, but I didn't want him to get sick because of me.Grayson and I talked about moving to his hometown. There is a lot of information ther
Grayson POVMia has been missing for a week now. The police have gotten absolutely nowhere with the investigation. Until this morning.There was a tip from one of the packs, situated here in New-Zeeland. They saw a woman matching Aria's description, going into a house that is supposed to empty and on sale.It is a newly built housing complex and no one is supposed to have been moved in.We are currently sitting in the trees surrounding the building. We are all supernaturals since we make the least noise. I left Kai at the hospital. He doesn't even know that we got a lead. From what I have gathered the last week, is that Kai is actually Mia's best friend. They grew up together until he has to move away. I knew that if I told him that, he would want to come along.I see movement in the corner of my eye. Aria is coming out of the house with a plastic bag in her hands. She walked to the curb, and I took that as my chance to go to her. I told the
Mia POVI tried to open my eyes. My head feels a little fuzzy. I tried to wipe my eyes but realized that my hands were tied up.I open my eyes and start looking around. The room is dark. The few sun rays that are filtered through the tiny vents on the wall that helps me see just a tiny bit better.It looks like I am in the basement of some sort. The bed that I am on looks to be like the only furniture in the room. Then my eyes travel to a table at the other end of the room.The door was opened and the whole room was flooded in light. I tried to shield my eyes but I couldn't. Not that I could do anything with my hands and feet bounds together.I couldn't even talk. There was a sticky tape that was covering my mouth."So the bitch is awake. Good. Now we can talk. I am going to remove the tape from your mouth. If you scream, I will kill you." I just nod my head. I will do anything to walk out of here alive. She walks closer and rips off t
Stranger POVI have been following Grayson and that bitch around. I was hoping to get her alone for once. She is always either in the car or is with someone.This morning I nearly had my chance but Grayson came out of the cafe too quickly. I just follow them until they stopped at the hospital.I got my chance when she came out of the hospital alone. I made my way to her. I kept the injection close. There is no way that she is going to getaway.Mia POVI walk out of the hospital feeling better than I ever had. I am so happy that Grayson and my friends get along so well. When Grayson and I fully mate I want to ask him if he would accept Ava and Kai into his pack.There is no way that I will be able to make it without them. Maybe first I need to ask them if they would like to come and live with me at the pack. Where ever that is.I raise my hand to unlock my car, but I felt a sharp stab in my neck. I turn
Grayson POVI woke up fuller of life than ever before. I am happy that I finally found out what is going on with Mia. I guess I would have done the same if I was in her position.There is so much that I still have to do for her. I just wish that she will get back to me as soon as possible with her decision. I promised her that I will give her some space today. It is hard, but as I told her last night I will not pressure her into anything. She has a brother to think about.My phone rang and it was my mother. I picked up."Hello, mother. What can I do for you?""I just wanted to know if you got to talk to your mate yesterday?""Yes, mom. Don't worry. I got to see her last night. We resolved the issues she had.""That is good. I speak to you again later."My mom dropped the call. I look at my phone in confusion. This was the shortest conversation I have ever had with my mother. There was a strain in her voice that I recogniz
Mia POVGrayson and I talked way past midnight last night. I felt so ashamed about how I treated him.He told me that he will not push me. He only wants to be with me. He understands that I am human and will court me as any other human man would have.If I feel like I no longer want to be with him then he would leave me alone. No questions ask. I am currently laying in bed just thinking about the future.I didn't lie to Grayson when I said I felt drawn towards him. I still feel that. Now more than ever. I guess the more time we spend together the more I feel towards him. Maybe it is the mate bond or maybe it is me. I don't really know.The first sight of the sun just came flooding into my room. I stood up and started getting ready for the day ahead of me.I asked Grayson just for today. I need to get my thought in a row. I would love to have somebody just for me to love.20 minutes later I walked into Ava's room. She is bu
Stranger POVI followed Grayson to a hotel. I even got a room in the same hotel. I had to take a room on a different level, but that will not stop me.Once he entered his room I placed a camera so that I can see him coming in and out of his room. I made my way to my room and sat and waited for him.He didn't come out of his room for the whole night. I guess my poor baby was tired. I didn't want to sleep just in case he left and I didn't notice.There was the only movement again after 6 the next morning. I followed him and saw him getting into the cab. I caught the next cab and did a spell to get the cabbie to follow Grayson.When we stopped I saw Grayson going into a car rental company. I waited until he came out once again.I followed him to this quaint little cafe. It looked like a very small business. I didn't try to go in. He would surely know that I am following him if he saw me inside the cafe.I did, however, get out of t
Grayson POVI got the same room as the previous time. I actually just got lucky on that one. The previous couple that stayed there just checked out.I looked out of the window into the dark. The sun has already set. The light in the city has started to switch on. They look like fairies dancing in the sky.It is already too late to go to the pub. Mia would already be finishing up her show. So I will start bright at early tomorrow.My wolf is back and being extremely annoying. He just wants to go out and find Mia. Make her talk to us.I am trying to keep him under wraps, but it is seriously hard. He is persistent. I close my eyes and clear my head. I think it is time to shut my mind off. That way Ernouf can stop irritate me.I fell asleep soon after...................................My phone's alarm woke me up at 6 am. I got ready to make my way to the cafe. Mia will probably go back to the cafe now that I didn't go there
