🔸Valeria🔸
Been an hour since school dismissed for the day, I have been waiting for my dad to come pick me up like he use to everyday but he is not here yet.
This is so unlike him. He never fails to pick me up.
I wonder what happened.
Is he okay?
I am not even with my phone. I left it at home.
I think I can find my way home. I mean he has been driving me to school and bringing me back. I usually study the road so I can go by myself.
But I haven't tried it before. It has not been long I moved to this place. What if I get lost?
What if dad comes and can't find me?
He will be worried sick.
Oh Valeria what are you going to do?
I am tired and hungry.
I am the only one in school right now. Well Mr Jones, our security man is here too.
I have been waiting for an hour now.
Dad where are you?
"Hey kid"
I get on my feet the minute I heard Mr Jones call out as he approached me.
"S..sir?"
"Why are you still here?" He asked as I fiddle with my finger.
"M..my dad is not here yet"
He scoffed. "What are you, a baby?"
His harsh words hurt me.
"Can't you go home by yourself?" He asked looking at me in an angry way.
"I..can but..."
"Then go on then" he snapped.
I look down my fingers because I am about to tear up.
"My dad will be upset if he comes and can't find me"
He scoffed again. "How old are you?"
I look up at him slightly.
"I turned eighteen days ago"
He murmured my age, sighing frustratedly. I sense him bring out his phone from his pocket.
"Give me your dad's number "
I fiddle with my fingers nervously. Oh no I don't have it off heart.
He looked at me. "What are you waiting for?"
"I....I don't have it off heart sir..."
"What the fu...."
I flinch a bit.
He sighed. "What about your mum's?"
My heart ached. I look down feeling my eyes tearing up.
"I don't have all day kid!"
I shifted a bit where I stood as I look up at him slightly.
"My mum is in heaven"
I don't hear a word from him making me look at him.
He is pressing his phone.
I look back down.
"I don't have time for this. Your dad better be here after I check the classes doors." He said walking pass me.
Sighing, I sit back on the seat. I wipe my eyes as I thought about my mum.
My parents and I use to live happily back then at Chicago.
Dad always go on business trips and stay for almost a month before coming back.
It makes me unhappy.
But when he comes back, he will buy me a lot of things. A lot of goodies, Barbie dresses and dolls. He would spend time with me, telling me stories and all.
I love my dad so much.
I love my mum too.
I miss her so much.
The three of us lived in harmony until I turned fifteen and something happened.
I came back from school and found mum crying.
It made me want to cry as well. I have never seen her cry before.
I walked towards her, she stared at me as tears filled her brown eyes. My heart ached.
Next she hugged me as she cried silently.
Dad wasn't home.
I can't tell what is wrong?
Until dad came came back.
Flashback******
"Get out of our lives Vince!" mum yelled at dad.
Dad stared at her with emotions on his face.
Why is she yelling at him?
"Baby listen...." He reached to touch her but she slapped his hand away.
It made me flinch.
"How could you? You have been lying to me for years! How could you do that to me?! You are a very terrible person!" Mum yelled as tears flowed from her eyes.
My heart ached as I stood behind, watching them.
They haven't noticed me.
"No baby please. I can explain. Just listen to me" Dad pleaded.
Mum scoffed. "Explain what? There is nothing to explain Vince. You have a wife and three sons I never knew about? "
I arched my brows.
"Yet you came into my life and made me fall in love with you. I even gave birth to your child!"
Dad bring his hand together like he wants to pray.
"I didn't mean to betray you my love. I.. " he paused sighing. "I never knew we would get to this. I never knew I would fall so deeply in love with you the way I did. You gave me a very adorable daughter"
"Get out Vince. I don't want to see you" mum said pointing at the door.
"Baby I love you"
"I hate you Vince! You are a very bad person. Get out of our lives now!"
"Please baby don't do this"
"I said get out!" Mum cried.
I couldn't take it anymore as my legs took me towards them.
I hugged my dad.
"Val..." He called holding me.
"Mum please don't send dad away" I pleaded looking at my mum with my tears filled eyes.
"Come here baby" mum said putting her hair strands behind her ears. Her eyes and face are all red from too much crying.
I don't like this.
"Laurel don't do this" Dad said to her.
"Valeria come here at once!" Mum yelled.
I released dad as I walk towards my mum. She bring me behind her.
"Laurel.." dad called
"Get out" mum snapped.
"You both are my family " dad said.
"No. We aren't. Go to your real family. Go to your wife and three sons. Leave us alone!"
Tears rolled down my eyes.
Dad looked at me.
I begged him with my eyes to stay.
He looked back at mum.
"Go!"
Dad makes some steps back.
My heart ached the more as he moved away.
"And I don't want you here ever again. Don't even come a inch close to my daughter" mum said to dad as he opened the door and go out.
Mum broke down.
I held her. She hugged me.
I cried silently.
She made me look at her.
She move my hair behind my ears.
"Listen baby, that man betrayed me. He betrayed us"
My heart ached hearing her say that.
"He has been lying to us ever since. He hasn't been going on a business trip. He is living a double life. He has a wife and three sons. He goes back to them under the disguise of going on a business trip. He is a liar and scum."
I look down feeling my eyes tearing up the more.
"Look at me honey"
I obeyed.
She wiped the tears off my eyes.
"You are fifteen and a big girl. You know what a bad person is. Your father is a bad person. He doesn't love you. He has three sons he goes back to. I don't want you anywhere near him is that clear?"
I nod slightly.
She sighed, bringing me in a hug.
My heart bled.
I hate this.
We aren't going to be the sweet family that we use to.
I hate this so much.
Flashback ends*****
I feel a tear roll down my eyes. I quickly wipe it off.
Those are bad memories.
After dad left, the house was no longer the same.
Mum was no longer the same.
She was always moody.
She never smiled.
She never laughed.
She cried all the time.
I felt very terrible.
A month passed and dad started visiting me secretly at school.
I was very happy to see him.
I missed him that whole month.
Flashback*****
"Dad!"
"Princess!"
I quickly rushed towards him and hugged him.
I didn't care if my fellow students were watching.
I missed my dad so much.
"How are you princess?" He asked.
"I am fine." I said smiling.
"Hmm I can see that. Let's go to my car. I bought you a lot of things"
"Yepee!"
He chuckled as he held my hand, leading us towards his car.
My dad is tall. I can barely reach his chest. I got my baby blue eyes from him. I got my brunette from my mum.
Mum.
She will be so upset with me that I spoke to dad.
But she won't know that I did except I tell her.
Oh Valeria you are being disobedient.
Mum will be so unhappy with you.
"What's wrong Val?" Dad asked calming my attention.
"Huh? Not..nothing"
"Come on princess, tell me"
I heave a sigh. "Mum said I shouldn't speak to you"
I see a sign of hurt on his face.
"She said you are a bad person"
He looked down.
"How is she?" He asked looking at me.
"She has been crying"
He sighed.
"Dad?"
He looked at me.
"Do you really have a wife and three sons?"
He looked at me.
"Yes"
"Why didn't you tell us?"
"I didn't want to loose you both. I love you both so much princess"
I look down.
"I love your mother with all of me. I didn't mean to keep my other life away from her"
"She is really unhappy "
"I know. I am so sorry princess. When you are older, you will understand "
I nod.
"Come give dad a hug"
I hugged him.
"Dad?"
"Yes sweetie?"
"Are we ever going to be together as a family again?"
He sighed. "I hope we will princess. I hope we will"
I heave a sigh.

"What the....ahhhhh!" Madonna, my step mum screamed at the sight of dad in the pool of his blood. She just walked in."What...how ....." She stuttered as she sight the knife on my hand.

"Please.... don't hurt me." I said the first thing I thought was right to say.She scoffed. "You are in my clinic with a drip connected to your body. Does that look like I want to hurt you?"I look down."Jeez" she murmured as she jotted down.I held the hem of my shirt nervously.I try hard to calm myself."That's your meal next to you" she said as she get on her feet.I look the direction and I see a plate covered with a foil."Eat everything. Your stomach is empty and that's bad for medication. I will check in later" she said walking out.I remained still for a while.My taste buds danced and my stomach begged to be fed.I reach for the plate and bring it towards me.Opening it, my eyes widened to the sight.It's spaghetti and meatballs.My favourite.My stomach rumbled in excitement.I feel as if I have eaten in a very long time.I dug in.I ate and ate non stop.The meal is very delicious.Done eating, I kept the plate back.I need water.

Third POVWhat is a mate?Valeria asked internally.Dom kept staring at her as his blood boiled.His wolf twirled.It can't be.He thought to himself.Luca looked between his father and Valeria. He can't believe what his father just muttered.Neither did the pack doctor.Dom clenched his jaw and knuckles in anger.Valeria look away from him, unease under his stare."Dad...""How the fuck did she get here?" Dom snarled, without looking away from Valeria.Luca and the pack doctor shared a look.No one responded."Who fucking brought her here?" Dom asked angrily."I did dad" Luca said.Dom's eyes moved to his son. He clenched his jaw."Dad listen...""Are you insane?" Dom snarled."She was helpless and lost. I had no choice but to bring her here to the pack doctor " Luca explained.Dom scoffed. "Do I look like I give a damn whether a despicable creature like her is helpless or lost?!" Dom sparked making Valeria flinch.The water bottle in her hand fell.It claimed their eyes.Valeria shi
Valeria"I, Alpha Dominic Carl, reject you, whatever your name is as my mate ""Leave this place or .....I will fucking kill you"He looked at me with so much disdain.Like he already hate me.But why?

He seemed very angry that I am here.He looks dangerous as well.But he has very beautiful eyes.He is very handsome.Valeria he said he will kill you.My subconscious mind cautioned me.I move to get on my feet."Hey hey Val."I look up, I see Luca."What are you doing?" He asked.He just called me Val. Dad was the only person that call me that."I....I need to leave " I stuttered.He arched his brow. "Leave? Why?"I look at him. Didn't he hear his father?"Why what's wrong?" He asked again."Your....your father wants me to....""No no Val. He didn't mean that. You are not going anywhere okay?""But...""Just lay down comfortably" he said, covering me up properly."H
Valeria I am shuddering uncontrollably. It feels like my head is about to explode. I have never been this scared in my life. The wolf held me down, staring down at me. The both of them are. I can't believe I am right under the mercy of two wolves. God what are they going to do to me? Eat me? Tear me apart? Drink my entire blood? Werewolves. Wait, can they also change to humans too? They should because the doctor said this is a place for werewolves. So they are werewolves right? The one holding me down snarled angrily at me. My heart sunk the more. I think this is it for me. I am going to die. They will surely kill me. They will.... "Aunt no!" I heard a familiar voice approach. Luca. Did he just say aunt? Next the wolf moved away from me. I moved back, frightened to the least. Luca ran in front of me, facing the wolves. "Aunt don't harm her" he said. Why is he calling it aunt? The next thing that happened marveled me. The two wolves transformed into beautiful women.
