She had just taken another step when her nose came in contact with a long leg. Alice felt her head spin, her nose began bleeding and she lost consciousness. A great way to begin a new day, sigh!
Meanwhile the owner of the long leg felt something collide with his leg. He stared at the unconscious figure of the petite lady. How could she be so stupid! He sniffed the air and he realized she was also a werewolf but there was something peculiar about her scent.
Meanwhile Mrs. Theresa was going in search of Alice. By this time, Alice ought to be doing the dishes but she was no where to be found. Mrs. Theresa turned to look left and right, seeing that there was no one around, she deeply sniffed the air. She caught an unfamiliar scent in the process and her daughter's scent which was mixed with blood. Blood!
Immediately, Mrs. Theresa ran to where she suspected the scents were coming from.
Arriving at the shelf of books, she saw a tall and handsome stranger standing beside her sprawled daughter. She had expected that there'd be a pool of blood on the floor but all she saw was just a tiny drop on the floor and more droplets spilling out of her daughter's nose which made her relieved. Remembering the unfamiliar scent she had perceived, she realized that this handsome stranger was also a werewolf but why would he not call for help after seeing someone bleeding! This made her furious that she felt like venting all her bottled up anger on this stranger. She glared at the man not cowering despite the cold aura he had. Mrs. Theresa wasn't one to hide any displeasure she felt towards someone. She glared at the man for the nth time before squatting beside her daughter. Thoug, she wasn't a doctor but after confirming that her daughter was still breathing, she immediately picked her up. To humans, this was a huge feat but to werewolves, it was normal for them to lift someone as heavy as them.
Despite her old age to humans, Mrs. Theresa carried her daughter to the small spare room they had in the shop.
Meanwhile the cold Justin who had just been glared at didn't get angry and this was a surprised to him. He waved it off and then walked out of the shop while bringing out his phone from his pants pockets. While doing this, a flier fell on the floor but he was long gone to notice this. Anyone who first enter the shop would be the first to notice the flier.
In the small room of the shop....
Mrs. Theresa didn't need to be worried about her daughter cause she knew that in no time she'd wake up. All she did was to clean up the blood on her daughter's face and also stopped the bleeding.
She sat on the small wooden chair closed to the tattered bed her daughter laid on. She stared at her daughter's face and couldn't help but to remember her late husband. They both had the same features. A drop of tear slipped from her eyes but she was too lost in thought to notice this.
"Mum! Mum! I have good news!" There was a loud cry of a teenager as he barged into the room looking as agile as ever.
"Not again!" Mother Theresa sighed resignedly.
It was hard for the party to keep going according to the plans of Jacob and the one manipulating him. None of them had expected the presence of Joe Salvatore and him suddenly appearing had definitely caused an uproar amongst them here. Every single person in the room who was as old as he was seemed to be avoiding him. Most especially, the ladies who had dared to mock Alice previously were now being slapped and pushed Forward by their fathers. "Go apologize to get now if you don't want to kill us all!" They all yelled at their daughters whom they had only being pampering minutes ago and yet, here they were, being treated like mere breeding tools. In fear, their bodies shook, and despite their grievances, they didn't dare to disobey their fathers, for fear of ending up as a meat to be slaughtered or thrown away. Even without their fathers saying it, they could all see that this was a warning being given to them. Immediately, they rushed straight towards Alice where she still stood be
"What the hell! Joe Salvatore!!!!""How...???" One of the people gasped, mouth wide open as they stared at the middle aged man who slowly stepped into the hall, looking like a war lord. "Wh... Jacob, did you hear that?" Theresa who was still nearby heard the gasps of the one name that haunted her even in her dream and believed she was hallucinating."Huh? Hear what exactly?" Oblivious to the names being gasped out, Jacob asked as he stared around. He was casually taking in everyone's appearance but suddenly, his eyes were glued straight on the one person that had just stepped into the hall."M...mother, who is that? Why does he look so much like sis?" Jacob repeatedly tapped his mother's arm as he tipped his head forward in Salvatore's direction.Theresa immediately turned to look and the moment she saw who it was, her aura seemed to change drastically. It looked like she was about to murder the one man who was now slowly making his way towards them."Umm...what is going on? Mother
"Stop!" Alice screamed, tears streaming down her face as she stared at the two Alphas. Her blurry vision didn't allow her to properly see the expression on both their faces but at this moment, she. couldn't care less about their feelings."Stop! Why! Why? Why do you act like you care? Let me go! You didn't care before, neither should you care now!" Screaming with her fists balled by her side, Alice spat out. Those who knew insiders information were able to figure out she was talking to none other than Just in whose expression was unfathomable the as he stared at her.Watching the tears fall down her face, the only thing he wanted to do was to hold her close to him and give her the comfort she craved for. "I...I..,-" Justin stammered, for the first time in his life, too weak to say a thing. As much as he tried not to care, her tears hurt him deeply. His wolf screamed to be near her. Wanted nothing but to be close to her but his past actions made it impossible."You heard the lady. Lea
Itchiness, that was the only thing Alice felt as Sebastian's arm tightened around her waist. She badly wanted to free herself from his uncomfortable embrace as she was about suffocating. Just as they were wheezing through the crowd, Alice froze upon getting a whiff of the familiar scents. She didn't need to be told whom the scents belonged to as her eyes immediately snapped towards where the scents seemed to have been coming from. Upon meeting eyes with the pair of familiar brown orbs, Alice's tears spilled out like an erupting volcano.She didn't feel Sebastian stiffen the moment she sniffed. Though the huge man had a stern expression on his face, his breathing was erratic. His wolf was quietly whimpering in a corner as he continued to watch tears stream down her face.Unable to bear it anymore, Sebastian turned to Alice, his face hardened more and he opened his mouth to speak."Why are you crying? Do you see that everyone has their eyes on you? If you cry now, what do you think wo
Everyone has their moments and feelings. Sometimes you get the feeling of being watched or being the watcher. The latter was the condition of Justin as he waltzed through the large number of guests. There was this nagging feeling he had been having ever since he arrived at this so called banquet. For some reason,the only thing Justin felt like doing was to go meet the Alpha of Alice's back and beat him to a pulp but he wasn't willing to risk the lives of his pack members as it would only cause war. Veronica was clinging unto him as he walked, making other ladies envious of her. If only they knew of the scars that lied within.Enjoying and basking in the glory of their stares and tiny whispers, Veronica raised her chin high as she walked along with Justin, talking with other alphas who were greedily willing to associate themselves with him."Is he still not here?" The audible whispers couldn't be ignored as a big stomached man asked one of the waiters who humbly shook her head while tr
Soon, Alice finally calmed down and was no longer shivering and shaking as she was before. This made David heave a sigh of relief.Suddenly, series of noises and then footsteps were heard coming towards the cell they were.Seeing Alice jolt again, David an inkling of who those people might be.t"Look at me. I'll be leaving now. I promise, I'll be back to save you. Stay strong for me," David held her by her shoulders and spoke hastily."No,no, no, don't go. Don't leave me here," Alice cried out, reaching out to him but then, he suddenly disappeared just as he came and her hand was outstretched in the air.This was the sight Sebastian saw when he got to Alice's cell."What are you doing?" He hissed out, staring intently at Alice's outstretched hand.Alice immediately and shockingly drew back her hand, rubbing her body lightly while staring at anything but Sebastian. She avoided eye contact with him as well as she could.Of course, this didn't escape Sebastian's sight as a smirk formed
