Alex's POVI can't believe it! She had a boyfriend and asked him to follow her here? In my park of all places! I want to break something. I wonder how Nate's bones will feel under my arms as I break them to pieces. "You okay mate?" Leo asked. He could tell that I was fuming. He knew me so well. "I want to kill someone. I want to..." I couldn't continue. I threw a fist on a nearby tree and it creaked as it formed a crack from where I had hit and the crack ran all the way up to where the branches started growing down to the place where the stem met with the earth. That's how angry I was. "I know mate. I know. Let's wait and see Tessa's explanation. But I agree with dad. You have to tell her. I have a feeling that she still loves you and she is doing all this to spite you and to show you that she has moved on but I don't think she has. Right now she thinks the worst about you. Tell her the truth and see what's going to happen. You have nothing to lose by telling her anyway... b
. Alex's POVThat night was the best and my relationship with Tessa Improved from there. She still hadn't believed me but for starters, she sent Nate home that following morning.She even told me that he was just her ex and he came with the hopes that they would get back together. Too bad for him because this seven foot gorgeous me happened and he isn't having her. She is mine. She even allowed me to take her for dinner and lunch on several occasions. No one in the pack knows why she hasn't felt our bond and we decided to wait. She will eventually feel it and I'm hoping it happens soon because Ryker keeps bugging me to mark her. I don't know whether the bonding will work without her feeling the link and I don't want to risk it. Today, I am supposed to take Tessa for dinner. Being with her soothes me and calms my soul. She is all I want. I love her. I call her around lunch time and she doesn't pick up. I wanted to check on her as we are doing nowadays every day and it isn't l
Alex's POVIt has been three days since Tessa went missing. Three f*ucking days! I haven't slept, haven't eaten and I'm irritable. I want to punch something. We have looked everywhere. I have all the wolves of my pack out there. Alphas, betas and omegas too.Everyone is out there helping us and still, no sign. Monet has the human police helping and they too, haven't come with anything. I have never felt so helpless before. I wish I had gone to work with her that day. In fact, I had offered as I kissed her goodbye as she drove off. But Tessa being Tessa wouldn't allow me. She was quick to remind me that we aren't dating and I shouldn't treat her like a baby. I wasn't angry though. I understood her perfectly. We are just warming up to each other and I had decided to give her time. My mom comes calling for breakfast and I feel like snapping at her. "I'm not hungry Ma. I'm good," I say, trying to dismiss her. "I know you are good baby. What I'm worried about is your physic
. Leo's POVThis is the fourth day and except the car that was found yesterday, no one else has heard anything about my sister. We are all tense and we are all here in our living room because dad said that he has something to tell us. Alex is here and so is Susan, my mate. It feels awkward with the way we almost came to blows but I forgave him. I know that Alex loves Tessa, it's just that her disappearance is taking a toll on him. He's paranoid but I do believe that doesn't give him a reason to be an asshole.Also, as an alpha, he feels useless that he can't find her. I didn't fault him the same way he didn't fault me for disrespecting my alpha. We are all on edge and like for me, I am sure that it's Suzy who's keeping me grounded. Without her here, I am sure I would have lost it. "We are all here?" Dad asks as he walks from the kitchen with a pot of hot cappuccino. It smells so nice. "I will get the cups dad," Suzy says as Alex stands to take the pot from dad and place it on
. Leo's POVI can't believe what dad has just told us. So, all this time, I have a witch's blood in me and I didn't know. Is it a bad or a good thing? I really don't know what to think. If it is making all this happen to Tessa, then I'm glad I am just a normal beta. "Do my parents know?" Alex asks. "Of course. By the time my mate was turning, I was already your dad's beta. So, yes, he knew and he helped through it all," dad answered and it all made sense. It is like the way Alex and I are now. We talk about everything including our mates though sometimes I feel like cringing when he starts talking about how he and my sister made out. Aarrgh! But I understand him because I am his only friend.So, I try to pretend that he is talking about someone else whenever he starts talking about their kisses, their snuggles, how good he feels when he is with her and such. I guess it's me paying for all those nights I would keep him awake narrating about me and Susan immediately I found
Alex's POV"Alpha, we are ready when you are," I heard Leo say through our mind link as dad, susan and I entered the main mansion.My dad got up to receive us in the living room and he gave me a warning look. There, seated on the couch was the most handsome creature I had ever seen. The man stood up immediately when he saw us and he was smiling at me. I didn't smile back because I didn't know him. Heck, I have never even seen him. But truthfully speaking, he was handsome. He was talking, I think we stood that the same height, almost shared the same body features and I think he rivalled me in looks. I felt threatened as a man. But he didn't exude any danger. In fact, I didn't feel wary of him. I felt like I wanted to get closer to him and get to know him more. "Alpha Alexander Jason Aldean, my name is Mason Jason Silvano, a vampire. I am the first son of the Silvano vampire clan of Mayne. It is my honour to meet you today," he said and I felt Ryker groan. Oh, we shared the middl
. Alex's POVWhen I got home, my mom was fuming. She was pacing around, walking up and down and when she saw me, she stopped and fixed a glare on me. I felt a chill run down my spine because heck, did she want to pounce on me but because she knew I couldn't hurt her? "I am sorry ma. You know I have to give priority to anything that concerns Tessa," I justified and she inhaled and exhaled like she was soothing her demons then looked at me. "Maybe if you had listened to us you didn't have to go," she said and I looked at her wondering what she meant. "What do you mean?" I asked her and she sat down and beckoned me to sit. "Son, not everything is as it seems," she said once I sat and she was speaking in riddles now. "What do you mean ma?" I asked her and she looked at dad. "Bring that young man," she told him and then turned to me, "son, listen to that young vampire first," she said and then left.After a while, the guy came in and he wasn't angry. He seems calm and composed. If
Tessa's POVI felt like I was in one long unending dream. Sometimes I was floating.Sometimes I felt grounded. Sometimes I felt like my head would kill me. Sometimes I felt like there were people around me. Sometimes I felt like my bones were on fire. It was one long dream. Or was it? After what felt like eternity, I woke up. The first thing I noticed was that my whole body was hurting. I tried moving and my body felt like lead. It was heavy. My eyelids felt like they were nailed on the ground. They couldn't open. I stayed still for a long while trying to wrench the pain away and I tried prying my eyelids open slowly by slowly and after a long while, I opened them. It was painful but I forced myself to roll my head and observe my surroundings. I could tell that I was in a small room and it was very dark. What made me see were my wolf powers were but I felt like those were tied from the inside too.I couldn't move my body and after a long while, I tried lifting my hands an
