Chapter 4

      "I do not have any money to use and replace the Polish, please forgive me" I begged to kneel.

"You should have thought of that when you decided to act clumsy and ruin my newly gotten expensive and designer polish," Maya said not sparing me a glance.

"We all know you have never touched money with your hands because your bitchy mother who thought she could reap from where she did not sow could never provide it for you, you will have to starve for two days," Anna said smirking.

I nodded my head hastily and they both roll their eyes. 

"Be fast with this and get out of here" Maya said and picked up her phone 

I haven't even had anything to eat since yesterday and starving had already became a part of me that I no longer bother about food.

As long as they keep my mother out of this and not go about calling her names, I would gladly starve for two days.

I sighed and continued with Maya's nails.

Soon, I finished with Maya's nails and moved over to Anna's.

             ~~CHICAGO~~

              ~~XANDER~~

"But why mum you know how much I hate being home. Coming back to California isn't something I would want to do anytime soon" I argued trying to make my mother see reasons with me.

She arched her brows and glare at me through the Pc and I knew if she was to be around me, she would have held tight to my ear trying to pull it off.

I have always hated California after my childhood experience which the memories are still fresh and going back there would make me do things I do not wish to do but my father does not seem to care.

He just wants me to return and be closer to him in order to learn how to run a pack so I would be able to take care of the pack when it gets handed over to me.

I don't even want to be the alpha but I guess I have no choice.

 I do have an elder brother who was supposed to be the alpha but his wolf wasn't the blood moon wolf but mine so the responsibility shifted to me.

Ever since my first shift which Jax my wolf was discovered to be the blood moon wolf, I have been subjected to different training to build my strength and a lot more.

My father isn't a person who joke around, he takes his responsibilities serious and he made sure I was trained well even though I was already naturally strong.

As an alpha to be of the most powerful and richest pack, I wasn't meant to leave my pack for anything but I had to after the incident which changed me happened.

My father was so mad when he found out I left the pack and travelled out of the country and tried everything to get me to return but I was so broken that I didn't care about anything he does.

I just wanted to be far away from there at the moment. I didn't want to be seen around there and everything about California suddenly angered me.

I hated the country, Hated my pack and anything that would make me return there.

Worst is I would not be able to change school and would still be forced to go to that school which ruined me and turned me to what I am now.

I miss my old self. The lively and fun to be Xander whom everybody loves. The sweet lover boy and ladies men. 

Now, I can barely say three words to anyone except my mother and there's nothing I could do about it.

"Are you there baby?" My mother called bringing me out from my reverie.

"Yes mum but do I have to leave so soon? Isn't it better that I wait till the end of the year?" I asked blinking my eye in a childish manner to buy her heart but to my disappointment, she frowned shaking her head.

The smiles on my face faded immediately. Whatever that would make my mother overlook my puppy eyes must be dead-ass serious.

"Your father wouldn't allow that Xander. You have to return as soon as possible so you can start learning the work of an Alpha" she muttered and I simply nodded still annoyed.

"I have heard you mother but that would be by the end of the week. You don't expect me to start coming now that you just told me" I gave her a stern look as I knew she would try objecting but I wasn't going to allow her do that.

"But son-"

"No but Mom, I have things to sort out here before coming back. You don't expect me to just abandon everything. It's not like something bad is about to happen so allow me to get my things done before coming"

"Fine, do whatever you want but be sure to be home by the end of the week" my mother said and I nodded.

We talked for few more minutes and said good-byes. I dropped the call and sighed in frustration, stood up and picked my car keys then walked out of my house.

I have to go round up things. I really hope I won't be seeing them when I get back home.

           ****ZENDAYA*****

It was late in evening and I was sitting on a tree trunk where I normally sit and rest whenever I wanted to be alone without any disturbances.

The tree was tall and had broad leaves which made it difficult for anyone to see me whenever I'm on it.

I stared down from the tree top looking at the pack members who were roaming about doing one thing or the other.

"Where could that dirty girl called Zendaya be?" I heard a guard mutter from under the tree looking around in search of me.

I made sure I covered the branches of the leave well to hide me.
