TRAVIS SKY
I raced for her and pulled her out of dangers sight."Great speed dude." Alaric complemented as he shifted back to himself."What the hell? You almost killed me!" America yelled out."But I didn't." He chuckled and America waved him off like a fly. "I'm here for you Travis, the alpha is calling for you.""Dad? Why?""Don't know.""I'll be there."★ One week later ★I laid on my bed with my eyes closed and a pillow against my face, trying to keep the sound of my ringtone out of my head. I heard a knock on my door and before I could even answer, it click opened. "Travis." Mom said in the most tender voice.I raised the pillow from my face and stared silently at her. She climbed my bed. "Look outside the window." I got off my bed and reluctantly walked to the window. Peeking through the curtain, I saw America as she strolled down the road, she stopped, kicked an innocent stone, then continued walking. I went back to my bed. Mom wrapped her arms around me and gently patted my back. "Your Father and I, the instant we saw each other, we knew we were meant to be and nothing could do us apart. Now I'm happy with three beautiful kids." "Why are you telling me this?" "I would be lying if I said I know what you are going through, I don't and I'm sorry you have to face it alone." I smiled."Come downstairs for breakfast, it's been a while.""I'm not hungry." My stomach grumbled in disagreement. "Great timing!" My mom chuckled. "You haven't eaten in a while or left your room.""For all we know, she circles around our house and I don't want to see her." "At least join us for breakfast. I made spaghetti." She wouldn't leave if I refused so I had no choice than to accept, plus, she made the best spaghetti ever! "Alright." "I'm waiting on you." She placed a light kiss on my forehead before leaving my room. I didn't want to go down to face my Dad of all the people, he was the cause of this but I had to eat with him like everything is okay. ★"Look what the wolf dragged in." My little sister, Laura said as she saw me climb down the stairs. "How long has it been? Three years?" "Haha funny." "It's her way of saying she has missed you, take it that way." My mom said as she walked out of the kitchen with our breakfast. "Hey baby bro." I turned around and found our eldest walking into the dining room with her little pup in her hand. "No way! Linn!" "Come here you." She pulled me in and hugged me. "Hi there!" I smiled at the baby in her hand. "This is Liam, your nephew." "Hi nephew. Does Dad know?" She shrugged. "You are not worried? Or scared?" "Why would I be? Because he is the Alpha or because he is my Dad?" "Good point but still–" "--I hear he has made another terrible decision, trying to ruin another of his kids' lives, are you gonna let him?" She interrupted me as she walked to the dining table and I followed. "Linn, your Father only wanted what was best for you." Mom said. "For me or for him?" Linn frowned."Linn." "Isn't that why he sent his own daughter out of the pack and cut me off as his child?" Mom sighed and placed a hand on her hip. "Linn I know, your Father made some… wrong decisions." She tried to choose her words wisely. "Well here he is doing it again." She shrugged. "Good morning everyone." Dad said as he entered the dining room and the whole room fell silent. He turned to look at Linn but said nothing, then he looked at me. "I see you finally chose to join us for breakfast." "Morning Dad." "How nice to have you at the table Travis. I wonder what this rogue is doing here." He turned to Linn but she only scoffed and looked away. "Please everyone, Travis finally came down to eat, let's eat quietly in peace." Mom said like my presence was a big deal. Everyone ate without uttering a word. Dad's expression proved he was going to say something that I didn't want to hear. "I heard America came here this morning.""Yeah?" "Travis." He sighed, "I want you to know that you are doing the right thing for our family, our pack, our community." Linn scoffed and Mom stomped on her feet. She had this kind of expression that said "what?" But Dad chose to ignore the storm at the table. "Don't let that girl keep troubling herself, she is a young wolf which I'm very sure will find love the instant you let her know the truth." I opened my mouth to speak but I realized it wasn't worth it. I left the table and went back to my room, ignoring the calls of my Mom. ★I heard a knock on my door and as expected, whoever it was didn't wait till I said "who is it" or "come in" like every normal person should. "What's up my man?" Dylan said as he walked in with the rest of my pack. "Why do you look like the moon?" Darby his twin asked me. "The usual." Darby sighed and climbed my bed. She rested her head on my shoulder, "everything is going to be alright." "Damn dude! What in the name of the Alpha is wrong with you?" Alaric exclaimed with my phone in his hand. "What?" Darby asked him. "A hundred and two missed calls, thirty-eight messages and forty pending voice messages!" "It's not my intention to ignore her.""Dude, I know it's messed up but you can't keep her waiting for a wolf that ain't coming back yo." Alaric said as he bounced a tennis ball off the wall. "Oooh! Look! Sexy neighbor is undressing!" Dylan exclaimed as he bit at his lower lips and everyone just stared at him. "What?""Tell her." Darby insisted.I stared at the screen of my phone, "what am I going to do?"AMERICA DAVIES "Let's get ready!" I told myself. I felt my wolf howl with excitement and I couldn't help but to smile. A dress as beautiful as the night sky caught my attention as it shimmered in my wardrobe. "December twenty seven." I felt my lips curve into a smile as I remembered the backstory of the dress. "Snap out of it!" I shook my head. I was far from ready when it was already seven. I slipped into the dress and it still fitted like a glove. I heard a knock on my door and I knew it was none other than Celestia, my sister in the pack. She walked in with a few bags in her hands. "Ooh! Someone looks hot! Where is she going?""I'm going to see Travis." She sighed, "are you going to sit at his porch again all night?" "What no! He texted me." I smiled. "Finally! That jerk." She sat on my bed. "The howling hollow is around the corner, it's just a few blocks away, what are we going to wear?" She grumbled. "Is that why you brought your entire wardrobe to my house?" "It's a fa
TRAVIS SKY "Honey, what are you doing not in your tuxedo?" My mother asked as she walked into my room. I hadn't even heard her open the door. "You know if you don't hurry, your father is going to flip this house upside down… literally." She smiled with her arms akimbo. "I will only be a minute more." "Are you going to spend that extra minute sitting on your desk and staring out the window like a depressed teenage girl?" She asked as she strolled towards me but I remained silent. She sighed, placing a hand on my shoulder, "honey," her lips curved into a faint smile, "I don't know what to say to make you feel better, I am honestly sorry about everything your father is putting you through." I looked away from the window then at her. "There is no need to be sorry mom, I really am fine now." "Really?" She questioned in a tone that portrayed the disbelief in her. "Yeah! When I realized that what I am doing is what is right for every single one of us, including her and the whole
AMERICA DAVIES SEVEN YEARS LATER... "Kids hurry up, it's time for breakfast!" I yelled out. I was flipping pancakes, making toasts, packing the kids lunch and preparing some fresh orange juice. "Mom! Dara won't give me back Mr bunny ears!" Lara yelled out as she ran down the stairs, almost in tears. "Lara please don't cry, Dara where is the teddy?" "I only wanted to borrow it." Dara explained as he descended from the stairs with a stuffed rabbit in his hand. "Well she doesn't want to borrow you right now, how many times have I told you to stop bugging your sister?""I'm sorry Mom, here you go Lara." He said as he handed the stuffed animal to his sister. "Where is Cara?" I asked as I served them breakfast. "In the bathroom." Lara said, already eating her pancakes. "Why?" "Her tooth fell out this morning." She said as she played with her pancakes and her leg dangled happily from the chair. "Oh dear, Lara stop playing with your food, Dara finish your food, I'm going to get
TRAVIS SKYThe neighboring community had finally promised to caution their rogues from breaching our territory and everything else was intact... It was a job well done for me."I must say, you are doing a better job than I thought you would." Alaric complimented.I smiled in response. We both strolled down the busy town, exchanging greetings with a few people and cross checked for anything that might seem out of place. "I heard your sister came visiting.""Yeah, I'll be going to see her later today." "Okay Travis, send my greetings alright?" He nudged my shoulder, "I gotta go meet Laura and the pups." He said before running off."Tell her I said hi!" I yelled and he nodded in response.Ever since I became the alpha, I had been ready for everything life threw at me, even when I had to battle a stronger wolf to save my community, I prevailed to my utmost surprise. But the one thing I was yet to conquer was the infinity between my wife and I."You're back early today." Darla uttered wi
AMERICA DAVIESFeeling like the last drop of liquid in me had dried up, I took yet another large gulp from the glass of water in my hand. I kept tapping my feet on the ground and the sound it produced annoyed me but I didn't stop, I couldn't."Let's bail it." My wolf told me but I refused. "We are doing this for the pups, remember? He is the only one that can help us find them." "Crap!" "Are you ready to see him?" Alaric interrupted our conversation."Huh? Yeah." I forced a smile on my face. I got up and nervously followed him as he led the way. I felt a knot in my stomach and my pores began to leak with sweat. I felt my heart pounding like it wanted to bail on me but I had to remain strong. "For the kids, for the kids, for the kids...." I repeated the mantra in my head.There he was, sitting only a few steps from me. His eyes lingered on me while his facial expression portrayed bewilderment... So I felt. His beautiful eyes were fixed on me and I felt my whole self freeze. It was
TRAVIS SKYI rushed to her just in time to break her fall, she was frozen still in my arms like a statue-- just like the night my dad and I found her in the freezing snow. "Are you okay?" Celestia asked as she rushed to us.Just like the night she had a nightmare, I huddled her in my arms while gently patting on her back. She felt so little in my arms and her familiar scent caressed my nose. I had missed her so much and I had forgotten how helpless she became whenever she was frightened. The others gathered around us, all asking the same question Celestia did. She raised her fidgeting index finger to the window and broken words escaped her trembling mouth. "There...there was someone... Out there.""Go survey the surroundings now!" I instructed Alaric and Dylan followed. As her consciousness started to kick in, she jerked free from my hold, obviously not with the intention of being so rough as her lips curved into an awkward smile. She folded into Celestia's arms, seemingly more c
AMERICA DAVIES"Mom! Marshall drank my milk!" Marshall and Misha were twins and they were five while Jessy was three. As Misha whined to her mother about her brother drinking her milk, Marshall also yelled in an attempt to justify his action and Celestia seemed to be having a mental breakdown."Are those two always like that?" I asked Jessy who was relaxing in my arms the whole evening."They are always fighting and giving mommy a headache." "Should we help?" "Mommy can handle it." She plainly responded as she played with her doll."Enough!" Celestia growled at the twin who instantly fell silent. "If you wanted more milk Marshall then you should have asked me and Misha... Learn to share." The latter words came out with a devastated sigh."Yes mommy." They both responded before running up the stairs.Celestia tiredly dragged her feet as she walked and settled next to me on the couch. "Twins are a headache, how do you raise triplets?" "It's not easy." A bittersweet chuckle escaped m
TRAVIS SKYAll my life, I've loved only four women and I was willing to die for them, the first woman I ever knew… my mother, two others are my sisters and the last was America.I had protected my mother and sisters all my life and I would do it over and over again but I had never gotten the chance to protect America, instead, I hurt her, I caused her unforgettable pain that also scared my heart but I believed I could change that and I needed to prove it to her and myself."Leave before I make you." "Tch…" he smirked. "Didn't you hear me? There is silver inside this…"Before he finished his words, I dashed across the room with a strength boosted by the surge of confidence in me. Taking possession of his weapon, I attempted to snap his arm to the back but he was fast enough to dodge my attack. I threw the gun at America, "run!" I commanded and she instantly did. It was dark and rainy so she allowed her wolf take the lead. He sent a claw across my face but I managed to snap his hand
