TIANAI laughed out loud when Alex said this. "Did you really think that I did not try to tell my father her they first got married? It's either he didn't believe me, or he just did not care enough about me to talk to his wife about her attitude. Anyway, I had already gotten used to the way she treats me. As long as she doesn't do anything to me physically, it's fine. I guess that I just need to stay out of her way from now on, it's no big deal, really" I said to Alex. Alex shook his head. He did not seem convinced at all. "No, I don't think so. I think that we need to talk about this, you know. She's your stepmother. It's fine if she doesn't act as a mother to you but she doesn't have to treat you like this. She doesn't need to talk to you as if you're her maid. The things that she was saying to you were just... "That's enough, Alex. I don't need you to do anything about this. I already said that it's fine. It's not the first time and I am fine as long as I ignore her. Besides, i
TIANA Everyone, myself included, frowned when she said this. What did she mean by that? I should focus on Mason and not think about anything else? I could guess that she was referring to the relationship that I had with Alex. But why was she bringing it up? I thought that we had already come to an understanding?."What do you mean by that, Gemma?" Mason was the on who asked this and he was very cold to her. She swallowed a gulp when she was asked this. "Oh, I don't mean anything bad by it. I just think that since she has a good man who loves her, she should focus on him. It's easy for her to be tempted by things outside especially since this is an arranged marriage and you guys are just getting to know each other. I just want her to know that there really is nothing out there and that she should focus on her fiance!" Gemma said. "She's my friend, I really don't mean anything bad by it. Just a little piece of advice," Gemma added as if that would make things better. She was my fr
TIANAHelen's eyes darted around, trying to look for something I defend herself with. I just focused on my food. I did not want to be a part of the conversation. I just wanted to be left alone. "I....if she isn't doing something wrong, would I have something bad to say about her? I don't think so! It's because she's doing something wrong that's why I have something bad to say about her! You are acting as if I am an evil step mother but I don't think that I am anything like that though, I don't think that I did anything wrong for you to treat me like this!" Helen complained. "What did she do wrong right now that you're talking bad about her like this? She didn't even do anything. You and Gemma just imagined something in your head and got mad at it. Does it make any sense to you? Why are you picking on her? It's almost as if you hate her and you want her to do something so that your irrational hate for her will be justified!" Helen was speechless when Alex was done. There was nothing
TIANA"Alex is in his bedroom. It's so early and the last time I saw him was at dinner last night. I am doing everything that you asked me to do so can you please just leave me alone? Threatening me like this, don't you think that it's a bit too much? I don't think that I did anything to deserve this!" She was my good friend for crying out loud. Did Gemma not feel bad when she was doing this to me? "You are doing everything that I asked you to do? Do you think that I am a fool and that I can't see what's going on? I can see what you are trying to do. Don't think that I am a fool. What was that at dinner yesterday?" Gemma asked me. "I have no idea what you're talking about. I think that you're just looking for an excuse to be mad at me, now. I was no longer planning on meeting Alex as you've told me. But it's not as if I own this house. I can't tell him to get out or tell him not to eat dinner with the rest of us. I really don't know what it is that you want me to do about this," I
TIANA"So you are trying to brag to me that you have someone that's on your side no matter what? No, you actually have two people who are on your side and who will defend you no matter the kind of person that you are. Are you trying to brag to me about how great that feels?" She asked me. I shook my head. I did not say anything like that at all. Where did she even get the idea from? I was sick and tired of this. "I..." I was about to say something but I was interrupted just then. "So what if she has someone to protect her? It only means that people like you won't be able to come close to her and hurt her! I don't care if you're friend or not, Gemma but you had better get your hands away from Tiana now or else you will have to face the consequences!" Mason was the in who said this. He approached us with a cold look on his face. Gemma was scared by his presence and she immediately let go of me. She turned to look at me, an angry look on her face. But then, she forced a smile on he
TIANAI nodded my head, not wanting to put myself in even more danger by alerting him. "I understand....and thank you very much" I said. "Silly, you don't need to thank me for anything, Tiana. I am doing all of this because I am really in love with you. I hope that you can see my feelings for you and you can see that they are really genuine. I really do love you. A lot. Where are you going anyway?" Mason asked after he had declared his love for me. "Oh....I just want to take a walk in the woods. I just need to clear my head," I lied. "Clear your head? Is there something going on? Tiana if our relationship is going to work then we can't keep secrets from each other. We need to tell each other everything. Do you understand?" I looked into Mason's eyes. I wanted to ask him if all of that applied to me or if it only applied to him. We should not keep secrets from each other? Then, was he not keeping secrets from me? Everything that he had told me since we met had all been nothing bu
ALEXI was outside the house when I saw Tiana leaving early in the morning. She was looking around, guiltily, probably trying to make sure that no one saw her as she was leaving. I instantly knew that she was going to go train again. I did not know why she had rejected my help. I had told her that I would be helping her train. It would be much more easier if there was someone to guide her but she said no. She had started acting strange after she talked to her friend and I knew that Gemma was the reason she was ignoring me now. I just did not know what Gemma had said to her and I really wanted to get to the bottom of it. I decided to follow Tiana. Since she did not want me around, I would not show myself so that she won't be mad but I was going to watch her from a safe distance. In case she could not control her wolf again and she ended up hurting herself or anyone else. I was watching her when I saw her change into her wolf. It took a lot of time, almost an hour but she was able
ALEXEveryone knows that the ripper is out there and he is kicking people! She needs to be careful but she never listens to me. It is as if she actually wants herself dead! What was she doing in the woods anyway? Can't she just stay here and do as she is told?? Does she need to go against everyone all the time and put her life in danger?" Ceaser asked angrily. I glared at him. Did he not know the reason why she wanted to die?! Anyway, Tiana was not even in the woods because she wanted to put herself in danger she was there to train because the dangerous man he had brought for his daughter to marry could hurt her at any time if he found out that she had her wolf."Tiana was not out in the woods because she wanted to hurt herself she was not playing around" I said coldly. I detested every member of her family now. How could they not care about her? Seriously how?."You don't have to speak up for her, Alex. She is my daughter and I know exactly the kind of person that she is. She's ver
