Angelina's POVI couldn't stay for the party last night.I couldn't stay for any of what happened last night.Ella had made me go give my apologies to Winston and then come back up as punishment for being careless with my life.I had tried to explain to her that it wasn't my fault that I fell down from the roof of a possible three storey castle but she wasn't having any of it.She had told me not to take anything else with me up there and I had promised not to, but I had lied and I did take something up there all the same.It was a piece of paper, something that I had used to wrap some nuts for me to chomp on and keep my mouth busy while we watched what was going on from the top of the roof, but I had finished the nuts earlier than I planned and instead of keeping the piece of paper I used, I discarded it on the ceiling instead.That was what tripped me, I stepped on it and I almost slipped to my death if not for Marco.And Winston, ughhhh.I didn't even want to think of him at the mo
Winston's POVI could already tell Angelina was giddy just by looking at her.I could also tell she had something to say and for what I consider to be a very odd moment in my life, I realized that I actually did not have the time to keep on playing the game we had been playing over the past few days.I would have loved to call it hide and seek but it was more like hide and I have no time to seek. I simply didn't have the time to seek her out.After the kiss she had given me that night, she had been avoiding me like the plague.I couldn't wrap my head around what the problem could possibly be. I had asked her for permission, I had asked her nicely too, she had given me consent and she let me kiss her. She even kissed me back for one quick minute before she smiled at me and left, and that had been it.I saw that she didn't want us to go farther than that and I accepted that for what it was.I walked her off to her door so why the sudden cold treatment?She was standing at my door, wring
Angelina's POVWhat the hell was I doing?What in fuck's name was I doing?Winston was sitting in his chair, looking directly into my eyes with more questions than I had the answers to. I could hear the way his breath sort of hitched at the proximity between us.We were very close.Very very close.My hair had practically become a blanket around the both of us. No, not a blanket, a curtain, shielding us from the outside world and giving me full access to Winston's eyes.I could see them sparkling.Like a wonder of creation.Something hummed between us, I could sense it clearly now.Like a small song both our hearts were singing, or maybe it was just my heart that was singing the song, I don't know.I could tell he felt something for me too, he had always been clear about it.Well okay maybe sometimes he was less than clear about it, but when we are together like this, all the other details simply fade into the background.I could see the planes of his face, that small lift at the corn
Angelina's POVWinston had to send me out.I sighed into my pillow and wondered why I even went to his office in the first place. Heaven knows it would have been better not going there at all.But what was that anyway?That pull we obviously both felt for each other.Ella walked into my room with a smile on her face but that smile fell the moment her eyes landed on mine.Seems I have been cursed to ruin everyone's mood today . I didn't even want to think of how I would tell her of what had happened between me and Winston.She was the one that has been with me these past few days and she was the only one who knows that I sort of develop a strange fever whenever I don't see Winston.Urgh. Seems I won't have to totally rule out the possibility of them being witches, they might as well be for me to suddenly develop a fever whenever I don't see their leader.Maybe Winston was the one with the forbidden magical powers.He probably had a small shrine or coven somewhere around, that was prob
Angelina's POVWinston had left his office by the time I came back.Or maybe he just decided to lock me out of his office while he went somewhere else and did something else. I would have at least told him to be safe if he was going out, but obviously that didn't matter and my well wishes weren't needed."He just stepped out now."The voice that suddenly emanated behind me made me jump in fright and I looked back to see Marco, his eyes almost as kind as someone else's that I know and an amused smile on his lips.I let out a relieved sigh."You scared me."He chuckled at that and wore an accurately amused but sorry look on his face."Hope I didn't scare you too much?"I shook my head and smiled softly."Not too much."He nodded at that and the awkward silence set in.Marco was smiling and I couldn't tell if I was to simply smile back or hightail it back to my room.I felt stuck for one."Were you here for something, though? Anything you want to ask him or get?"For a split second I act
Winston's POVThe house of the pack elder was in the deep recesses of the forest. She always preferred that to staying with people and since she lived to be as old as she was, no one really ever saw the need to question her.I didn't need anyone to tell me twice that I needed her help.I almost gave way to my wolf while I was in the office with Angelina.That was bad. That was really bad.The wolf is the animal manifestation of every werewolf. Sometimes it threatens to take over and sometimes we lose control and subconsciously let it. The latter only happens in extreme scenarios, like a group assault or at the sight of a loved one in mortal danger.The wolf is unpredictable, and with that being said it could do something no one really expected it to, like kill Angelina because of the crime her father had committed.I almost lost control of it.It could have killed her.She would have been freaked out and tried to run and that would have just worsened matters. I stopped and kicked a
Angelina's POVI was done clearing up Winston's work space by the time Marco had concluded his search and he looked sullen and disappointed.I didn't want to ask about the look on his face because then there was every possibility that he would tell me what he had been here to look for in the first place, and then I would want us to find it so I could use that to satisfy my conscience and get that feeling of fulfillment that came with paying someone back for the help they would soon offer you."All done?" I asked, looking at him and he nodded his head."I couldn't find what I was looking for anyways so I'm guessing I just wasted your time."I simply shook my head at that and didn't give him a verbal answer.Marco stared at my lips and had a lost look on his face.My cheeks heated up and when his eyes finally met mine, he chuckled in the crackly tone that always manages to send goosebumps up the ridge of my spine.He looked tired, and weak."Sorry for staring at you."I simply shook my
Winston's POVTatiana only looked at me for a long while before she gave me an answer, and even when she gave me an answer I couldn't understand half of what she was saying.Literally.She always chose to confuse me rather than help me with whatever I might need and that's one of the reasons I always hated coming to see her."If you hate coming to see me so much then maybe you shouldn't have so many problems.""I don't have that many problems, just this one you have managed to confuse me further on."I could tell that I sounded pissed and I also sounded snappy, like I didn't have the patience for all this and that was accurate.I didn't have the time for all of this and I would not go through another lesson on "Do you know why the sky is green, Alpha? Or why do the fishes in the sea glow purple in the dead of night?"I sighed.I could tell I was annoyed. She could probably tell that too because she had stopped talking and she simply looked at me."You're frustrated, Alpha? Care to tel
