Chapter 5

Alexa's pov

“Darling! We are home!” Micah yells as we step into the living room.

Immediately, Will walks out from the kitchen with a sandwich in his right hand.

My stomach growls at the sight of the sandwich… Micah and I reached for it at once… I turned to him with a glare.

He ignores me and faces Will.

“You know me too well, darling!” He gasped dramatically and falls on Will's shoulder.

I shuddered and gave him a disgusting look… Watching him trying to act cute want to make me puke!

“At this point in time… Only your sandwich can save me” he said.

He reaches out his hand.

“Here… Sandwich, come to papa!”

Will pushes him away and dusts his shoulder… Then he turns to me with a smile.

“For you, Alexa” he turns to Micah. “Go into the kitchen yourself if you want one!”

“Thanks, Will” he nods and raffles my hair.

Micah stares at us with his mouth wide open… I guess he's looking for the right words to say.

He nods and pretends to be hurt… He clenched his jaw and blinked his eyes like he's trying to blink some tears away.

“Now I understand… Will just confirmed my doubts!” He slumps on a sofa.

Will and I lean on each other waiting for Micah's drama… episode 1 of Micah's show today.

“I have always known it! Now it's confirmed… I was adopted… Mom and dad picked me up from a dumpster…!” He began to wipe off his imaginary tears and shakes his head.

Will sighed deeply and thinks for a minute or two.

“Alexa, how about we sell him off to those slave traders?”

I nod thoughtfully.

“Yes! We'll make a great deal of money!” I supported Will's notion.

Micah cries loudly… over dramatically.

“They don't love me! They don't want me!”

Will and I burst into laughter… I cut a tiny piece of the sandwich and put it in his mouth, and he stops his dramatic cry.

“Micah, you're a clown!” I told him.

Honestly speaking, my brothers have a huge appetite.

They can eat a whole cow and five minutes later, they'll be asking for more…. they eat like hungry wolves!

“Alright, Alexa, go to your room and unpack. And get your stuff ready for school tomorrow!” Will tells me.

I nodded and rushed towards my room.

Knowing I'm resuming school tomorrow makes me kind of happy…

Writer's pov

Will watch Alexa enter her room and make sure she's out of hearing… Then he turns to Micah.

“The Alpha King wants Alexa to leave the pack!”

“What?!” Micah exclaims.

Will glares at him and looks towards Alexa's room… The door is shut.

“Bring your voice down!” He scolds Micah.

Micah clears his throat and speaks in a soft voice this time.

“So… you mean we're going to move again? What are we going to tell Alexa this time?”

“We're not moving… at least not now”

Micah frowns.

“What do you mean?”

“We're not fully sure yet if Alexa is truly not a wolf… so, alpha King gave us one week… If Alexa can find her mate, maybe, there's a possibility that she'll transform!” Will explained.

Micah stared at Will blankly for a few minutes… then looked towards Alexa's room with a clenched jaw.

“One week? How can she find her mate in one week?” He paused. “What if she doesn't have a mate?”

“I don't know… But it's the only choice we have”

“No, it's not the only choice… Let's leave, let's get Alexa out of here!”

Will sighs and sits down on a chair.

“We can't!”

“Why?”

“This is the only place she can be safe. This is the safest place for her”

“But…."

“Don't worry… I'm sure she'll find her mate. If she doesn't find her mate, we'll leave right away!”

Woods….!

A mighty wolf runs at great speed… as if it's trying to outrun a grievance… It runs for a few more minutes and finally stops at a lake.

Another wolf also stops by its side.

They walk behind a tree… bones cracking sounds are heard… flaws transforms into fingers… and soon two young handsome boys walk out.

Wearing basketball trucks.

They sat on a rock near the lake.

“Ok…" Coughs “Alpha prince…" Coughs again, “do you mind telling me why we came here?”

There's silence as the Alpha prince didn't reply and shows no sign of replying.

“The meeting… How did it go?” He asked again.

The Alpha prince stays silent for a moment.

“There's a human in town!” He grits out… hatred dripping off his words.

“Human?”

He nods.

“What did the Alpha King say?”

“She's staying!”

“Staying? She should be killed or sent away!!”

The Alpha prince clenched his jaw and closed his eyes.

“Xander, let's find the human and kill him or her!”

Xander (alpha prince) still has his eyes closed… He's fighting with his wolf as his wolf wants to be let out… He can feel that his wolf is happy, but he doesn't know why.

“..... Xander, are you listening?”

Xander snaps his eyes open and turns to the boy… He sighed as he sees Xander's eyes change colors… His wolf's yellow eyes are on right now.

“Are you ok?”

“I don't know, Connor… My wolf is suddenly acting up!”

Connor (his beta prince, childhood, and best friend) stares at him for a few minutes… studying his wolf's eyes.

“Hmm… Could it be he wants to come out for a run?”

“We just finished a race!” Xander growls.

He closes his eyes for a brief moment and opens them again… They're back to normal.

“I don't know what's wrong… My wolf has never fought with me to take control” Xander wonders.

Connor smirks as a thought pops into his head.

“Who knows…Maybe the moon goddess has finally shown you mercy and our future Luna queen is nearby..."

Xander smacks the back of Connor's head.

“Ouch!”

“I don't have a mate, if I had one I'd have met her already!”

Connor groans and shrugs.

“Who knows, she might be from another pack”

Xander sneers at him and he laughs nervously… Then his body suddenly went rigid… His eyes glazed.

It stays that way for a few minutes before he blinks and faces Xander.

“Xander, alpha King, just mind-link me… He wants you to come back now”

Xander frowns wondering why his father didn't mind-link him instead… then he remembers that he blocked his mind-link.

“Did he say why he wants me back?”

“No”

Xander takes a deep breath and gets up.

“Let's go."
