Alexi - I was wakening from my slumber once the doctor came in. I sat up abruptly making myself alert to hear what the doctor had to say. The doctor took a stool and brought it near Nicolas and I. Holding onto his clipboard jotting down notes, his eyes looked grim as the doctor started to speak.
Doctor – "We had tested Nicolas's blood and well it looks like they injected him with wolfsbane. Luckily, it wasn't a large amount, what we need to do now is flush out the wolfsbane. If the whole needle had been injected and he wasn't attended to right away, it would have killed him and his wolf. This was an assassination attempt on your father, Nicolas. Because you intervened your father is still alive. Nicolas, we will need you to stay here for a couple of days, that way we can get the wolfs band flushed out of your system. You are going to be okay, though."
Alexi sighed in relief, Nicolas is what her world circled around as she was also his world, his everything. The d
The Archers and I go to the training grounds to perfect our aim, we cannot miss our target. I aim and fire and hit the bullseye every time. Each time I hit the bullseye, I say a name that had died at King William's hands, this is for you my mother, this is for you Nicolas's mother, this is for you my fathers, this is for you…. And so, it continued until I was out of arrows. I thanked the Archers and told them to get a good night's sleep, for come tomorrow we were going to kill King Williams. They nodded and bowed their heads to me and went on their way. I went back to Nicolas’s hospital room and pulled up a bed right next to him. It is hard to sleep without him. I put my arm around him, and I am so grateful that he didn’t die from the wolfsbane, what would I do without him? I whisper in his ear; I am going to go kill King William tomorrow babe; he will hurt no one I love again. I lay my head on his chest to hear his heartbeat and smell his scent to calm me down and g
My mother excused herself so that she could go find our dad, as she was starting to miss him badly. That mate pull never goes away in a Wolves' life. She kissed each one of us on the head and made her leave, waving to us and blowing us kisses as she left. The others in the chow hall looked at us quizzically for why the Queen would blow an Omega, a Warrior and Nicolas's mate a Kiss. Why would she sit with us? Alexi – I saw all the attention the wolves in the chow hall were giving my brothers and I. Tomorrow night at my wedding and mating ceremonies we (Nicolas and me) are going to let the pack know who we truly are. Will it surprise some when they find out they were bullying their future king? I hate to sound mean, but I was glad Alexander went through that, he had not known or cared before about what they went through. What the lives of ordinary wolves went through, such as inadequate living spaces, being treated cruelly and unfairly by the pack. Without the Omegas, life would not exi
I am sitting on my bed, and the house is quiet. I bent my head down and my hands are thumbing through my hair. I have been so completely stressed. I graduate high school soon and I am so different from anyone in this town. If they knew what I was, I was certain they would fear me. Heck, I do not even know what I am complete. Upon turning 13, my life changed forever. I was not this normal, everyday human girl. I remember I was in my backyard and had pitched a tent outside. I love being outside and I love the wilderness and forests. Every chance I got, I would sleep in my tent in the backyard. My parents thought it was odd, but then they just figured I was the outdoorsy type. That night, it was a crescent moon. I was laying in my sleeping bag and reading Nancy Drew 99 steps. I loved the mystery stories. I was using my cell phone as a night light to read, and I was so caught up in the book I did not even notice at first something was off with me. I flinched, and I tried to stan
I head downstairs and grab some toast my mother had prepared with eggs. I only grab the buttered toast as my mother protests about me not eating my breakfast, as turning to kiss her on her cheek state, "really mom I have to go" I grab my keys to the car. Leaving the house, I take off. Today I need to pick Stephanie up. This girl is so much fun. We play volleyball, track, and soccer together. We're playing a team from another state today, so that's cool. We won the State Championship match for our soccer team. Our team is now competing against teams from other states. If I'm fast because I'm a werewolf, is that cheating? Hey, everyone has a gift, and this is mine." I am so excited as I drive up to Stephanie's place and honk the horn. We wave to her mother, who is trimming the hedges. Stephanie runs outside while talking on her cell phone. I know she's talking to her new crush because she is blushing. She and I never had a steady relationship. Hopefully, after
I look over and see Jeremy sitting next to Nicolas. I have werewolf hearing, so I can hear what they are talking about. Nicolas is just staring at me, and Jeremy noticed. Jeremy stated to him, "Man, don't even think about her. She is a part of the Barbie clan over there. They really do not date. I thought we were going to hit it off. Alexi and I that is. I went to give her a kiss and, you know what she did? She totally ripped up my shirt and then ran. She has not talked to me since. I even tried to make her jealous by kissing Stacy in front of her. No effect on her man." Hearing that, I laughed to myself. Jeremy continues to talk to Nicolas, stating, "She is going to beat you in soccer, she is really that good. She is like a one-person team. She is faster and athletically more gifted than anyone I know." Nicolas mutters, "Today she will lose I guarantee you." He smirks. Every class Nicolas follows me as I continue to ignore him. He will not get me angry. I am
I am lifted by Nicholas as he stands up. And with a daring look, he said, "Come on, Barbie! Race you back!" Oh, he is so pompous! As I shifted while jumping, I shouted, "Game on!" Do I have a competitive streak? Yes, with a capital "C". As I ran and jumped over him, I thought I would leave him behind. But I was wrong. He leaped over me to lead the way. Obviously, I'm not having it. In all honesty, it was fun hanging out with someone like me. The wolves enjoyed their time as well. Besides prancing around, Kiki was also competitive, attempting to outrun the wolf. We found the field was empty when we shifted back and returned. I looked for my friends, but they had left. Because neither team captain was present, all members of the team left. We find out that they have moved the game to tomorrow. I entered the locker room to get dressed. It seems the girls have gotten another ride home. There is no sign of them in the parking lot. Nicolas' bus was still waiting fo
Together, my parents and I enjoy watching TV. Sheldon was our favorite show when he was young. The show is hilarious. My mother holds my head as I fall asleep. As I hear my mother say, "Honey, you need to get to bed.". I stand up and rub my eyes before walking to the stairs. I lie down on my bed when I reach my room. In my pocket, my phone buzzes. Apparently, someone texted me. My friends have been asking about Nicolas and me several times. The latest one was from Nicolas. "Hey, just checking to see if you made it home okay" Yes, I did. "I asked my parents about who I am." "What did they say?" Nicolas asks. They know nothing, honestly. In the note they left on the curb, they kindly requested that their baby princess be taken care of. Besides the note, I also had a gold wolf necklace. Doesn't that sound strange? My parents ab
We were under a lot of pressure as a team. But what was I expecting? They were up against actual wolves. It wasn't just their strength that mattered. Their agility was just as impressive. My team possessed these characteristics. Esther, who held the ball, was the weakest player on the team. Should the ball go out of bounds, my heart broke for her. I can only imagine how devastating it would be for her. Only minutes remained in the game. Upon making my wish for Esther's sake, she made her a net within minutes. Ultimately, both teams' scores are tied. Ester's face was a mixture of shivers, tears, and smiles. It was a joyous moment for all of us. Nicolas approached me as I headed off to the field. Nicolas asked me, "Are you picking me up later?" I smiled, "I might." I kept on walking, pretending to ignore him. After that, he threw me over the shoulder with the remark, "Ignore me now!" I screamed and started hitting his back. "LET ME DOWN!
