VanessaI couldn't believe it. I still found it hard to believe that my own daughter could keep that much secret from me. I thought that we were close. I thought that we were as close as thieves. I thought that we didn't share any secrets. I thought that... Oh no, o stopped thinking as I didn't know what to think of anymore.She had to be kidding me. I felt like a fool, living in a house full of secrets and I was the only one who knew nothing about it. Asides the revelation that had happened in Mia's room after I found her kissing her brother, I had gotten more from her and I couldn't believe it.I still couldn't get the image of her kissing Quinn out of my head. I wondered what I would have done if I had found them in bed. Oh no! I couldn't bear to think of that. If she was dating the three of them, that meant that she was sleeping with the three of them.Oh my! How did that even work? I couldn't think of my daughter whoring herself out but with the way that they had explained it, th
MiaI had thought that mum would never want to see us again after last night's fiasco. I couldn't blame her. We hurt her and she had a right to her anger. I would have been mad as well if I was in her shoes. I was surprised when she came out and joined us for breakfast. That was good. That meant she was slowly letting go of her anger and would soon warm up to us. Maybe she would be forgiving us anytime soon. I had thought I shouldn't hold my breath on waiting for my mum to forgive us but now, it seemed possible.I was glad that I had told Albert to let us call her to join us for breakfast when he was about to ask the maid to send her food to the guest room that she had slept in. I knew Albert was affected that she had slept in another room. He looked worse, much worse than I had ever seen him. He seemed like he hadn't slept a wink last night with the absence of his wife in their shared bedroom. I didn't think I had ever seen them apart when they were in the same vicinity. He missed mu
MiaFinally. It was done. I was mated to the boys. The mating ceremony was over. Some of the new wolves who didn't know were shocked that I was getting mated to the boys as they had assumed that I was getting mated to Quinn only but they had also moved on quickly and were happy that we were officially mated.Not all the wolves were around for my Luna ceremony and ritual or they would have found out about the intimacy between me and the boys.I was proud that mum was there to see mating ceremony and that there wasn't any knife cutting in this own. I didn't think mum was going to stand still if she saw that bloody crooked traditional knife cutting into my skin. I hoped that she wouldn't ever see the scars on my back. She had asked if I was keeping any more secrets from me but I didn't think I was going to tell her about the scars on my back. She was going to freak out if she saw them.She was just getting warmed up into the world of the werewolves and I couldn't show her the scars and r
MiaFirst, they were boys with their eyes full of mischief and taunting me. I knew that naughty look. I had seen it before. The look in their eyes made my skin crawl.I inched backwards, moving away from them till my back hit the locker. I gasped as the three of them stepped forward, forming an arc around me. I felt my back against the hard wood of my locker and groaned as I stared at them, knowing that I was trapped. There was no way for me to escape. I had learned from previous episodes that they were stronger than I was and I couldn't run past them. I was at a deadend and I hated it.They seemed to know that as their eyes twinkled with mirth."Stop fighting this, Mia." One of them chuckled, his voice grating on my nerves. "You are ours. You can't escape unless we let you.""And we don't intend to." Another laughed.I snorted. I belonged to no one and certainly not to bullies like them. I told them exactly that.I spat at them, my eyes scanning around for a weakness in their forma
MiaMy mum was excited, more than I had ever seen her. It was a week after we had gone to Albert's house for dinner and things for their marriage moved faster than I could think. It felt like the two were waiting for me to meet him and like him before rushing ahead with their marriage plans.The two were going to be married soon but mum didn't want to stay far away from her beau. Now that I knew of him, I believed she felt like she didn't have any reason to hide her relationship.She was moving into his house and I was going with her. I had done my interviews and waiting for feedback. I wanted to see where my mum was going to live for the rest of her days."Are you ready, Mia?" Mum shouted from the garage outside where she was with the driver.Albert had sent a truck to help us move and I was impressed at his thoughtfulness. He had also sent a small car where we would sit while the truck was only for our luggage. I wondered how rich he was.Whatever. I didn't care about that, as long
Five Years AgoMiaI was bored. I hated chemistry class the most and was happy when it finally ended though I couldn't say that this was what I learnt from the class.I had only heard non-metals and asides that, I didn't think that I had understood any of Miss Brenda's explanation. It was lunch break and I walked to the cafeteria, already thinking of what to eat.I needed a hefty dose of lunch after enduring chemistry. It always felt like the metals or non-metals dug through my intestines in class and made me hungry than I was meant to be.I scanned the cafeteria for Rose but I couldn't see her. I frowned as I patiently searched through the faces at the tables, eating and laughing and yet Anna was nowhere to be found. This was unusual. She was always there, waiting for me after securing the best spot.I walked out of the cafeteria and went outside, searching for her. "Have you seen Anna?" I asked around as I passed students going on their way to the cafeteria.Some of them shook thei
MiaI was glad that it was sports day in school. I was going to be free of them for a while. The girls and the boys were separated and didn't participate in the same sports. They weren't going to be able to follow me around and harass me. Even though we were all on the same field and I could feel their eyes on me, trailing after me everywhere I moved to, I still tried my best to ignore them and have fun.I wished that the games weren't going to end. Anna noticed where I was looking at as we jogged and winced. "I'm sorry I got you into this mess. You wouldn't be bullied by them if it was not for me."I waved off her apology. "Don't worry about that." I told her as I had been telling her for the past four months since the incident.She felt guilty and I hated it. I had enough negative baggage to deal with and I didn't need her guilt added to it. It had happened and I didn't blame her. I couldn't understand why she insisted on blaming herself.It had been long since I had talked with h
Present DayMiaI turned back to the table and hissed as I angrily removed the hand on my head and glared at Jack. I lowered my gaze, afraid of making him angry and annoyed with myself that I was still afraid of them after all the years that had passed.John smiled and crossed his arms. "It seemed like the little sister doesn't like brother very much."I glared at him. The pretentious little bastard. Who gave them the right to call me little sister?I couldn't wait for dinner to be over and I breathed in relief when it finally was. How I had cleared out my plate, I had no idea. I rushed to my bedroom as soon as I could leave, counting down to when I was going to leave and already thinking of the excuse I was going to give mum for leaving earlier than planned.I heard a knock on the door and rushed to it, thinking it was mum there to ask if I was enjoying my stay.I stared in surprise as I saw Quinn at the door and winced as he pushed his way and closed the door."What do you want?" I
