ALEX'S POV
I stepped into the morning sun and could feel its impact on my skin. Although winter was at its peak, I could still feel the sun rays enriching my skin. Was so eager on my way to school like a child eager to see what lies beneath the Christmas tree, wondering what the gift contained, so eager to see her, to smell her, I can't wait to taste her.
I approached the school entrance but my wolf senses rose with so much force, as it sent goosebumps across and brought me to a halt, something was wrong, I couldn't smell her. I stood still at the entrance into the school hallway using my wolf senses, I tried to smell her. Something is wrong. I could smell her 12km away, especially when we were in the same building. It means she is not in school yet but I know her to be an early person and it's some minutes past 9 am. Something is wrong. I walked briskly to my car, a red Lamborghini with black stripes. Throwing my bag at the passenger's seat, I pressed the start button and heard the car roar into life. Fear and anxiety flowing through my veins as I drove out of the parking lot and heard the screeching of my tire. Students rushing into the school turned and were staring with wide eyes. A kid beside the entrance into the school hallway removed his sunglasses to see what was happening.
"Please, let her be ok" that was my silent prayer.
Driving through the streets, home seems to be on the other side of the world. I drove with so much speed 220km per hour, red flags mocking me on my windshield but I cared less. I need to get home as soon as possible. Something is wrong with Star, my wolf is starting to worry.
Reaching home, I stomped into the sitting room. No one was at the site, I was moving towards the dining area and heard voices. Barging into the dining room, mum saw me and stood still, followed by Justin, Cain, Allison, Styles, and Ethan.
"Alexander," Mum called out. "What's wrong?" She could see worry written all over my face.
"Justin, Ethan… to study, now..!" I barked out.
Mum looked directly at me and understood what was going on. She nodded in response. "Allison, you all come with me." she ordered, waving towards them.
Looking through the window at the right side of the study, I asked "Who has her?". Justin and Ethan both looked at each other. Turning to face them, I looked directly at them "I asked a question, who has her? "
Justin came forward with his hands tucked behind his jeans and said "Well it seems Infinite has her"
"What?" Screaming, I jabbed the window so hard and it shattered to pieces. My veins popped out on my forehead. All I could see was red turning. I saw the shelf positioned close to the now shattered window and threw it right across the room. I was getting bigger, my body temperature rising, my emerald green eyes now orange were fused with anger. I moved to hold Justin by the throat but was stopped immediately by Ethan grabbing me by clasping his hands on my head through my back. He pinned me to the wall. My face directly at it, I could smell the wood sprayed with chemicals.
"Calm down Alex" , that was his wolf speaking to me, trying to calm me. When he noticed I calmed down. He let go of me, patting my back.
"I told you both to always watch and guard her against something like this. Now Infinite has her" I screamed pulling at my hair as if that was the cause of my dilemma.
"We always watched over her but that day, she was taken, there was someone else. Someone helped capture Star. That person doesn't belong to the Infinites' Pack and the person knew our every move. Like the person could predict our next move." Justin said. And as a matter of fact, he was tense.
"What do you mean?" I tried to understand what was being said.
"Someone in our pack is betraying us." Ethan suggested with so much confidence.
"Why do you say someone in our pack? What makes you believe it's someone in our pack?" I asked, confused.
Adjusting his jacket, Ethan said, "That is so because we couldn't trail the person. Whoever that person might be, he is strong, stronger than we can imagine, he is fast, and has a different eye color which consists of our pack's color, emerald green and orange. He could block other wolves' senses, my gut tells me it's a man."
"Are you sure about that? The person can also be a woman. Never underestimate the power of a woman. They can be deadly." Justin completed the last sentence folding his hands at his chest.
I turned to Ethan and saw him looking straight at Justin with raised eyebrows
We all stood in silence. I know for a fact that, the only person with such power in our pack is an Alpha and momentarily there are just two Alphas, which is Dad and I, but what baffles me is what Justin said. A woman with such power? But who and why? Help infinite.
Trying to get my head around what is happening, I asked "When is the next blood moon?"
"In the next two months?" answered Justin.
Two months from now. I placed my hands behind me and asked Ethan, "And when is the next full moon?"
"Fortnight from today. " Ethan said after much consideration.
Something is certainly equivocal and I need to handle this.
"Ethan, Justin, get the pack ready. We are going for a walk." Saying this, I knew exactly where to get my answers from. A smile crept onto my face. "Star, please be strong for me."
INFINITE'S POV
"Boss, she is awake. "I hate being interrupted, especially when I am busy with a blond, sucking. The site before me was a site to behold, two sprightly portable breasts and a nipple pointed towards me begging for my attention coupled with her legs fully parted. I am not going to forget this one anytime soon. But what is in the other room is more important and bidding than what I have before me.
"Set the table and get her ready." Ordering my servant, I gave the blonde one last long and hard kiss. Wait for me, fully naked and parted." whacking her on her ass, I stood up and left.
STAR'S POVAlex……. no this is not Alex but a blond lady with the same emerald green eye color but this time, it was laced with black all around the Iris. The lady opened the door and came into the room. She was dressed in a leather jacket, a red top beneath ripped jeans, and boots. Her hair was wavy and stopped at her mid back, styled fashionably. She was a badass. When she turned to face me, I could see a mark on the left side of her neck. Two marks like she was beaten. I gasped and placed my left hand on my mouth. Holding the sheets close to my chest with my right hand I crawled so fast and close to the bed headboard, my back came in contact with it and it hurt."Hey, relax! I am not going to hurt you. " She said, coming closer to the bed with concern written all over her face.St
For one excruciating moment, silence reigned deep within me left in my thoughts. Winter is fast approaching, so is the blood moon. My pack was all round the place, guarding it. Justin and Ethan at my both sides, Allison and Cain by the entrance and Styles at the rooftop, to notify us if any vehicle or person approaches. I can't go anywhere without them. My pack except school that is but anywhere that means real business, I go with them. We all have known each other since childhood, having each other's backs supporting each other. Separation seems like an impossible prediction.Looking at Stella or Kate or whatever she is being called was not helping at all. I was really getting pissed off just hearing her voice. Star has not been home for over 24hrs and here she is giving me excuses. I would have broken her nose by punching her so hard in the face,but I can't. She being mum's distant cous
When I walked into the sitting room, Aunt Kate was nowhere but it smelled like a wet dog. "What was here?."The kitchen was downstairs, at the extreme of the room. It was a joint kitchen with a dining room. I stepped into the kitchen and it was properly cleaned. Turning to walk out, I noticed two used tea cups at the counter. Saying to myself, "Aunt Kate had a visitor… but who may that be? She is rarely visited, I thought to myself with a frown on my face. Where could she be?" "Aunt Kate, Aunt Kate" Screaming on top of my voice. Where is she?"Finally you're home. I thought you lost your way home" Aunt Kate said, walking from the sitting room into the kitchen with a red hand towel.Rushing to hug her, she opened her arms, welcoming me.
STAR'S POVIt's prom night, fully dressed in my red shiny handless short gown with suede hand gloves to my elbows. My hair was in a stylish loose bun decorated with pearls matched with diamond necklace and earrings. I put on a black sandal heel . Applying my lipstick which is deep red in color, Aunt Kate stood behind me and watched in awe.I turned to look at her and she said "You look so much like your mum. Beautiful and smart. You are ready and who is your date?" Right after she asked this question, there came a suddenly knock at the door."Just guess. It's a surprise. " Giggling, I went to the door and opened it. My knight in shining armor stepped in with a bouquet of red roses in his left hand, dressed in a tailored dark tuxedo. His hair gelled back. He looks so handsome.
"Aunt Kate..., I don't understand what I saw and how is it possible that I could see that?" I said to her but she didn't move or blink but she was staring at me. How is that possible? I placed my right hand on her chest and could not find her heart beat. It was then it hit me. "She is dead". I felt the agonizing pain seeping through my veins and deep into my heart, shattering it into pieces with every passing second. I looked into her eyes and could see how lifless it was. She felt cold, really cold.Coming close to her face, I called out her name. "Aunt Kate.. Aunt Kate.""Star, she is gone." Alex spoke.At that moment it began to snow. The earth seems to be in accordance with the predicament that just happened. Rocking back and front, I screamed "NO
FINITIE'S POV"Were you able to get what I asked?" I glared at Red because I knew she was not able to get what I asked for and I want to know why."No boss, I was not able to get it." she said this while bowing down her head.Bowling my hands into fists on my table, I punched it with so much force, and a hole was formed in the middle of the table. I yelled "....and why was that? What stopped you from carrying out my orders?.......""......It was Alex. He was there……" she stated without blinking.I jabbed the table the second time and a crack sound could be heard. Looking straight at her, I said".
TRACY'S POVWiping my face, I stepped out of the shower with slow and steady steps. I saw my clothes on the tiled floor close to the bed just as I left it. I got dressed. Looking at the mirror, my reflection staring back at me, I looked so pale and empty. My eyes bloodshot from crying. Taking a deep breath, I tied my hair into a high ponytail and was about to leave the room but was stopped midway on my way out. The drawer closest to his bed was closed but the key was left hanging. My curiosity took over me and I moved slowly towards the drawer. With every step I took, I looked back at the door. When I was at the drawer, I knelt down in front of it and tried turning the key but it didn't budge. I tried again but it was fruitless. I removed the key and inserted it back. Turning it to the right and it clicked open, I smiled at myself. I opened the drawer and there was an envelope lying in the da
UNKNOWN POVThe night seemed cold and peaceful except for my troubled mind. Standing at my balcony with a glass of scotch in my left hand, I could smell numerous passers by walking on the pedestrian lane bumping into each other. Not caring who they come in contact with. I could see and hear vehicles honking which expresses the drivers impatience and arrogance. Looking up ,I noticed there were no stars visible in the sky and no moon. Just the thought of Star being with Alex pisses me off. Flashbacks of Alex kissing and hugging Star came through. Gripping the glass in my left hand with so much force, I broke it with my bare hands. I felt nothing, no pain, just the smell of iron . But I was bleeding, not much to take me to the emergency unit but enough to stain my floor. I didn't bother because I heal fast. Nothing is moving according to my plan. Nothing. I feel so frustrated.
