"V-Vanessa?..." Alexander said looking at me shocked. He looked at me then went to look at Natalie, he looks confused.
"I-I..V-" He tried to say something but I ran away. I can't stop the tears forming in my eyes, I feel like my chest is being stabbed by a hundred knives and without realizing it I used my unusually fast speed and ran out of the room.
I don't care if we get back together or not. It's just that I assumed he's changed, I thought he's finally learned to be sincere from what my parents told me, but he's still the same and I thought he'd finally confide himself to me. I feel so disappointed.
'Why'd he even act that way when I disappeared for a month? Maybe my parents exaggerated...Guess it's my fault for believing.'
I climbed the stairs to the rooftop and locked the door to make sure Alexander can't get to where I am. I slouched down and let myself cry. I don't know why I'm crying so much actually, I know I said I won't beg anyone to love m
I fell on the ground so Natalie looked down with her eyes looking at me like I'm some kind of pathetic being. " Oh! Look who it is? Isn't this the unwanted mate of our soon-to-be alpha?" Natalie said laughing with her followers. I slowly stand up and walked past her not having any energy for her bullshit at all. "What the heck! Did you just ignore me?!" She said annoyed. But I didn't listen to her and just continued walking. "Are you ignoring me because you've finally come to accept the reality that no one wants you? Wow! I'm so glad you've finally accepted I'm way better than you being the luna!" She said loudly and confidently making everyone in the hallway stop what they are doing to look at us. 'What nonsense is this woman spouting?' I stopped walking and turned back to look at her. "HAHAHA.....And what makes you think you're better than me?" I asked her laughing. Natalie paused for a second. "Ahem!... Isn't it obvious? I'm
The one who pushed Natalie away was none other than Alpha Edward, Alexander's father. Following him behind are the teachers, principal, and Beta George Natalie's father. "Everyone involved, follow me!" The Alpha said with dominance. The girls quickly let go of me and they all bowed their heads in submission, only I didn't move an inch and stood firmly meeting the Alpha's eyes. He noticed my indifference towards him and just smirked. "You're quite daring, huh?" The Alpha said walking past me. Beta George went to help her daughter Natalie, who's injured her face. After seeing the blood on her daughter's face he turned to glare at me. 'Why are glaring at me? I'm not the one who injured your daughter!' The Alpha lead us to a room that looks like a meeting place, and there I saw Alexander sitting on one of the chairs around the long table, his elbows on top of the table and his palms on his face. He turned to look at the people
" What child?" Asked the alpha. "My daughter's pregnant with your son's child alpha, he has to take responsibility!" The alpha frowned and looked at Alexander in question. I can't understand the feeling that's building inside me, I feel like I would lose myself any moment. I can hear a buzzing in my ear, the surroundings starting to look blurry and Alexander's touch on my skin burns me. Alexander's calling my name, he's telling me something but I can't seem to hear his voice. The excruciating feeling in my chest is making me feel out of breath, I pant and gasped it feels like I will suffocate any moment. Alexander's standing in front of me holding my arms to help me balance my body as my knees are about to give out. "Let go..." I said weakly. I could faintly hear him say to get a hold of myself. I closed my eyes and tried to focus my attention on my breathing and pushed him away slowly giving us some space. I don't want them to t
"It can't be... Don't tell me Cedric's the witch?" I asked myself after remembering all the unusual things about him. 'But if Cedric was a witch I would've known, he doesn't have the smell of a witch, his smell is rather unique, one that I've never smelled from any other creature. Witches can't move as swiftly as him, they rely upon their magic, not their physical strength. And Cedric's aura isn't one of those witches, so if Cedric isn't the witch then who? And if Cedric isn't a witch, then what is he?' I went out of the teacher's office and walked straight back to our classroom. I tried my best to focus in class but the questions kept piling in my head that I didn't get to pay attention to any lesson that the teacher's discussed. The class ended just like that and it's finally time to go home. I was on my way to the gate and I saw Alexander there waiting for me, he smiled after his eyes landed on me. I walked towards him and I returned his smile awkwar
"What is this all about Alpha Edward?" Asked Henry. "Well, the thing is, she's pregnant and doesn't know who's the father. She claimed the child was my son's but turned out nothing ever happened between them." Alpha Edward replied. Henry sighed and said, " Let's talk in my office." We all left to follow Henry to his office. He still didn't see me so when I entered his office together with the Alpha, Alexander, Natalie, and George he was shocked. "You're here too?" He asked smiling at me. "I guess I am, it's nice to see you again Henry," I replied. " Yeah, it's nice to see you." He said. We all sat down and Alpha Edward started explaining to Henry what happened. " I... Don't think I'm the father," Henry said in distraught. " How could you be so sure you're not?" Natalie asked meeting his eyes. Henry looked like he's in so much pain, his face shows it all no matter how much he tried to hide it. Only Natali
VANESSA'S POV It's been a week since Natalie left the pack, leaving her father in grief. Natalie's mother still isn't home, I heard she went to visit her parents in Las Vegas and stayed there for a month, she still has no idea what happened to her daughter. Natalie left a letter before she left and what's written in that letter alarmed all of us. NATALIE'S LETTER Dear Dad, I'm so sorry for leaving like this and I'm so sorry for shaming you. I no longer feel like I belong here and I don't deserve to stay here after everything I've done to Vanessa and Alexander. Dad, please don't be mad at them, it's because of me that they're still not together until now. I want to repent for hurting the person who truly loves me, for choosing the riches that were never mine over him. Dad, everything that has happened to me was my choice and I deserved all this pain and humiliation I'm facing. Pleas
" What will you choose Alexander?" Cedric said. I can see on Alexander's face that he is having a hard time choosing, and he doesn't know what to do. I don't want him to regret whatever choice he makes, this is all because of me so I should be the one who makes the choice. I looked at Alexander and smiled at him sadly, he looks terrified as the tears slowly fall on his face. His expression says he is afraid, I want to go hug him and kiss him, and I should have done that a long time ago. Now, I don't even know if we'll be able to be together again. How could I be such a fool to only realize how much I love him now when it's too late. I'm such a coward, I'm so afraid of getting hurt, betrayed, and unwanted that I kept on pushing the person I love away. I don't dare to fight for us, that's the very reason why Natalie kept on getting in the way, she knows I'm not confident. Even though Natalie is such a bitch for trying to seduce and steal Alexander so ma
ALEXANDER'S POV I feel so useless, I can't even protect the person I love. I've always felt like I own the world all this time because I'll be the alpha and I'm much stronger than anyone in our pack. But I saw the world wrong, I forgot that there is always someone stronger out there. I was so blinded by the status I grew up with, and this status I'm so proud of can't even help me save her, and is only a burden. I could have chosen her selfishly if only I'm not the Alpha, but as a leader, the people always come first and a leader must sacrifice to save its people. I always thought I don't need anyone. I thought mate bond isn't that big of a deal despite my father's warnings, so I took it lightly and wasted so much time. The time that I could have spent with her, where we open our hearts and share our secrets, where we can love, and just love, I'm such a fool. It was a month ago when she disappeared that I got to finally realized I have fallen in love w
