ALEXIS' POVI am beyond surprised when Donovan turns up in front of Aurora's parents house and with the way he speaks informally with the old couples, it is obvious he has known them for quite sometime now."Come, come, honey." Mrs Zack brings me closer to her bosom in a pamper child-like manner. "I'm sorry about what happened to you. You'll be safe with us till your grand mother returns."I squint my eyes in puzzle at Donovan who stands with a confident poise, watching us. His hands tucked deep into his pocket.What could he have possibly told them?"Thank you, Mr and Mrs Zack." He thanks the couple with a curt bow of his head. "I shall be taking my leave now.""Alright, son." Mr Zack gives him a friendly pat on the back and this time, I am more than a hundred percent sure they are pretty close. No one can come up close to an Alpha this way, talk more of trying to touch him in any way. "Thank you for bringing her to us. Like I have always said, you will do best as the Alpha of our t
ALEXIS' POV"Tell me about your bullyings. How much worse or less has it gotten this recent week?" Kendra asks me as I discreetly twist my nose at the strong repelling scent of flowers and cinnamon in her office. They smell too strong and over-bearing and I am sure that like every other day, I am going to walk out of this place feeling nauseous."I don't get bullied, Kendra. I get disrespected by rich elite kids." I feel as though telling others I get bullied is a wound to my pride. I am not a child to get bullied every single time.The young woman in her late twenties adjust her cat-eyed spectacles and watches me intently. Her dark purple is as bold as always."What if the difference between getting bullied and getting disrespected, Alex?" She asks me and I give her a shrug of my shoulders."I don't know. But I do know that my case is not bullying but disrespect." "You are a smart girl, Alex. And a straight A student at that. You should know better than lying to yourself or making a
ALEXIS' POVAs I walk closer towards the school field, I feel a sudden feeling of anxiety wash through me. The thought of Donovan clouds my mind. I have done my best to avoid him today and now, I fear I might run into him in the pitch. There is no doubt he would be there. He is the captain of the school team.I breathe a shaky breath through my mouth as I close the distance between myself and the pitch as I give silent prayers to the gods to save me from coming across him again. As my feet finally touch the edge of the pitch, the first sight I see is...Him.Hot and gorgeous and sexy in those yellow and white Jersey. His biceps and hard lines of his abs are tight against his wet shirt and the wet strands of his jet black hairs are gorgeous. I can almost feel a smile appearing on my lips and my face turning tomato red from blushing until it hit me.Squared straight on the face, knocking sense off my head and sending me flying to the bare grasses of the pitch. It takes me a few second
DONOVAN'S POVI find it hard to concentrate throughout the rest of the training. I have never felt defeated in my entire life. Everyone else in the team have been staring at me as if they feel pity for me. Whispering behind my back. I am sure by now, almost everyone in Redwood academy knows about what happened at the pitch. I almost laugh a pained laugh. I am the Alpha. I will be crowned the lycan King in a few months from now. Everyone should respect me. Fear me. Honour me.Not look at me me those pitying eyes. I am not a pathetic being. I can never be pathetic. I would rather die than appear pathetic even in the face of battles and wars.Again, I remind myself that this is all Alexis' fault. She did this on purpose to humiliate me.I crack my knuckles at the thought as I sit in the dressing room. I cannot believe she is such an ungrateful brat. After everything I have done for her, this is how I get repaid. At this point, I can see clearly the reason everyone else spites her.She
ALEXIS' POVI stretch with the rest of the girls as we warm up for our match. Our match isn't as official as the one in Redwood team. And neither is our field as greenery and aesthetic as theirs.We only play for fun here in the slums of Redwood and our pitch is wide and sandy. But we never complain. We have grown to love it. It is what makes us who we are."I have a suggestion, guys?" Laila, a short pixie haired girl says. "What about we let our wolves out before the match start. That way, we can put ourselves in high spirit."The rest of the girls squeal excitedly in support of Laila except me. Because I know that I can not be able to shift with the girls. Grandma Rivera has made me promise never to let the moment cause me to make the biggest mistake of my life.The girls begin to run into the woods now, readying to shift into their wolve selves. "Come on, Alex." Aurora pulls me along by the arm but I refuse to budge and I stand rooted to my spot. "No. I...I can't." My face falls a
ALEXIS' POVAt the end of the match, my team scores a 3-2 goal against Aurora's team. I admit that at first, I was a little afraid of the fact that I would be going against someone as good as Aurora. When it comes to football, Aurora and I are bulls horn against each other. I would say, my team winning today would be sheer luck. Aurora's speed and wits on the pitch can never be compared to mine.Or maybe I am good enough and it just just my imposter syndrome kicking in."See you in school tommorw, sissy." Aurora pulls me in a quick hug, her body smelling of sweat and sands now."Yea. Stay safe, okay?" I tell her and wave to the other girls. I feel a little jealous that they are all going the same way while I am the only one who is heading my way. Aurora blows me a final kiss and finally leaves with the girls. I turn my back against them and walk the path to my own house too. It is quite dark now but I do not fear. I have always walked this path in light and darkness and I am too used
ALEXIS' POVI had already knew what would come with my acceptance of coach Ryder's offer. And yet, I had gone ahead to accept it.It was a once in a lifetime opportunity to be a part of the RedWood football team. Anyone would kill for that. Just as I am ready to risk my peace of mind for it.The boys absolutely spite me now. For the rest of the week, my life in school turned a mess. Even messier than the first time they used to bully me. Everyone else in school was more than shocked I was now a part of the school football team. And the boys team for that. Even I felt the yellow and white team Jersey I am now made to wear looks quite awkward on me. Like it didn't fit me.Because I never belonged here in the first place.Donovan too wouldn't spare me a glance. This time, I know we are completely done. First, I hurt his pride by disgracing him on the pitch and now, I am now a part of his team.He would think I am still trying to challenge him. I wish he knows how wrong he is. I wish he k
DONOVAN'S POV As coach briefs us about the upcoming nationals, I find myself getting distracted by Alexis who is listening to him speak with rapt attention and doesn't take notice of me. She is in her yellow jersey and has her white long hairs plaited in two French braids like she does ever since she started playing with the team. There is no denying how cute and innocent she looks whenever she is in that hairstyle. I still don't understand why I cannot despise her for the events of the past week. How she had humiliated me. An Alpha. I am supposed to punish her. Not admire her."And as always, the Ivory pack will be partaking in the competition. The Coral pack has been banned from this year's tournament due to issues that are of no concern to us. Now, that leaves us to the toughest and strongest elephant of them all. The Ivory pack."Coach continues to talk and once again, my thoughts begin to drift elsewhere. To last week when I had sex with Lori. It was quite crazy that I didn't r
