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 fashion-mergency!""How do I look?""You look gorgeous. Here." She handed me her leather jacket, "it's cold outside.""Thanks." I planted a kiss on her cheek and picked up my handbag, "bye!"★•★Waiting for me was none other than Travis, "Travis!" He got up as he heard my voice. I ran to hug him but he pushed me back and refused I touched him."This dress…" he squinted, trying to remember."The night of the howling hollow last year, remember, you told me I was a shining star." My cheeks flushed red, "does this bring back any memory?""It doesn't bring back anything." He plainly said."What?""I called you here tonight to tell you something very important." He frowned."Why do you look so gloomy?" I raised my hand to his face but he pushed my hand away."Don't…" I frowned at his reactions. "Let's break up.""What?!""I, Travis Sky, reject you, America Davies, as my mate."I felt the whole world come crashing down on me. It was a familiar feeling, a feeling I had felt a decade ago when I watched my parents get murdered. I did nothing, I couldn't do anything, I was only nine. I'm not nine anymore and I won't stand and do nothing again. "I don't accept.""America, don't make this hard on us.""I won't accept this, I won't! I can't live without you in my life Travis." I felt a cold liquid sip from my eyes. It was truly a cold night but I chose to wear an exposing outfit to impress my boyfriend but even he dressed warm."In no time, your second chance mate will come around and you won't even remember me.""Really? The soon to be head Alpha of our community?""Forget me.""Never." I turned around and began to take quick steps away from him."America!"From quick steps to running, I didn't stop until I got home.★"Gumdrop what happened?" Celestia asked as I stood in front of her with teary eyes, she just pulled me in her arms. "It's okay baby."It was a cold and stormy night, I had this odd phobia for cold and snow since my parents died and I was stranded in the snow for days, left to starve and then freeze to death but I faced my fear tonight to see him, now, all I'm left with is a freezing heart.★•★"Here, drink this." Celestia brought a sleeping serum like she had read my mind and I accepted it and drank every last drop. "That shady bastard, I can't believe he would do something like that to you." She sat next to me and handed me my emotional support teddy bear. "He just dumps you like that when his wedding is around the corner.""Wedding?" I sat up in bed."He didn't tell you?""No! How do you know that?""I heard from my brother when I went out this morning, that warm blooded twisted lying, double crosser, heart breaking–""--I get it Celestia!""Sorry, he's a venomous wolf that tricks you to believe he likes you just to bite you where it'll kill you."I felt my head banging and I placed a hand on my temple, "argh.""Sorry princess, rest up, you've gone through enough." I laid back in bed and was soon asleep.★•★"Argh!!!""Run America!""Howl!!!!"I jolted awake from yet another nightmare. I curled into a ball on my bed. "What is left for me here?" I asked myself in tears. "I just don't belong here anymore."After a few minutes, I gathered myself and packed a few things I might need then I texted Travis to meet up.I picked up a pen to write but then I thought to myself, "no one must know, not even Celestia." "I'm so sorry I let you down Mom and Dad." I cried to myself. I decided to scribble on the paper the letters b-y-e in italics then dropped it on the floor, hoping it would never be found.★Here I was at the grey, waiting for Travis' arrival. I had my doubts but then I saw his wolf approaching me."You promised to protect me from my nightmares but now you are one." I smiled. "I accept your rejection and I wish you a happy marriage."You gave me this pendant when your Dad saved me from the snowstorm, you told me; plant it in your fear and it won't hurt you anymore." I paused for a moment to control my emotion.His bright yellow eyes stared at me."I buried it in the snow ever since that day but in a place where I can still find it even in summer. I'm giving it to my worst fear." He accepted the pendant. "Goodbye Travis."He howled as he ran into the darkness.★•★It was a bumpy ride all the way and I was in a cramped space for hours but I finally made it. "It's time to start over, welcome to Los Angeles, America."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
AMERICA DAVIESGasping uncontrollably as I jolted awake from my nightmare, I felt sweat all over my face and heat burned through my skin.Desperate for fresh air, I took to the window to open it but I found Travis' dad and another woman standing outside my house. Peaking through the window blinds, I could hear them arguing."You have disobeyed the pact that brought both communities together which means you have declared war." The woman hollered as she advanced forward a little with her arms akimbo."War?" Travis questioned in confusion. "What are you--dad, what is she talking about?" "Face me and not your father." She frowned. "I did no such thing! What are you talking about?" Travis frowned in abashment as he turned to the woman. His hand was carefully placed below his rib, obviously still hurting from last night's fight."Oh really?" She arched her brow, "both communities were brought together by your marriage to my daughter but yet here you are, passing the night at another woman
