DAVON’S POVTwenty missed calls from Mia and ten from Theo. We were in a hurry this morning and I forgot my phone in my room. It was past midnight when I remembered that I have to call Mia. The burial took time since the investigation was carry on first. The family of the deceased insist on laying him to rest in spite our advise to give it some time until we solve the case. But who are we to decide. I called Mia back, but she didn’t pick up, so I presumed that she was already sleeping. The signal was interrupted at the moment. Some of my calls couldn’t get through.“Can’t sleep, Davon?” Victor saw me in the balcony. One of his Ln“No. I forgot to call Mia earlier. She was waiting for me,” I raised my phone up to secure the signal despite the perfect reception. “Maybe she’s already sleeping. Call her again tomorrow. Go to sleep, brother. You have a lot of work to do tomorrow.”“Brother, wait. I know you give me this day to visit Mia but the incident got in the way, can I still visi
VICTOR’S POVDavon left his phone on the dining table. He always does, and every time, Mia calls. I’ve deleted some of her call logs and messages. Davon didn’t notice it and still waits for Mia to contact him again, but I am always here to do my part.“Hmm, she is relentless. I guess my brother needs a new phone,” I took Davon’s phone and told my assistant to dispose it. He need a new and expensive model anyway. The old one was cheap and outdated. As my brother, and king, he need things that would define his status in life. Mia is only a distraction. Few days later, Davon kept on searching for his phone. Just in time for me to give my welcome gift shall I say. “Brother,” I handed him the new Iphone14, “Stop searching for your old phone. I took the liberty to buy you a new one for since it has been days since you lost your phone.”“Thank you, brother, but I cannot replace my phone. I think I missed lace it around the house. I will find it.”“But I insist. As king, you should have yo
MIA’S POVJeffrey was waiting for me at the parking lot. His mocking gaze while I locked my bike on a poll was irritating. I side-eyed him entering the building. Theo and Nixon was waiting at the corridor, and went snappy seeing me. “Where’d your Dad?” Theo asked. I shrugged. Jeffrey gestured for me to follow him and we went to Professor Callahan’s office. My eyes widened stepping inside. “Ah, here she is!” Dad approached me and peck my cheek, “James, I’m sure you met my daughter.”“Of course. Mia Lucas. One of my student in history. How can I forget?”I smiled confusingly and turned to my Dad. “Dad, why are you here? I don’t recall meeting you here.”“Oh, I came to see James and to offer him a spot in the Legion. As what I’ve said, I’ll be seating as the leader and next week is the inauguration.”“A spot? What?” “James would be my advisor. He had gathered many details about werewolves for the past years and he would be a big help upon my regime,” Dad said, smiling widely. “And
MIA’S POV“I told you I don’t want to ever be reminded of him again!” I grabbed Nixon’s phone and threw it on the floor. “Hey! That is not nice!”“Shhh! If my Mom wakes up your dead.”Nixon took his phone, and apologized. He just wanted to cheer me up and if Davon would be the reason, he have all ears. “Thanks for your concern, but like I said, I wanted to forget Davon.”“And l told you I can call my Dad and have him on the phone to talk to you. Maybe you need to clear your relationship with him.”“It doesn’t matter. If he wanted to continue us, he would have called or visit. But he didn’t. There’s no use forcing us.”Nixon stayed for an hour listening to my pain. He wanted me to unload my burden to him and then move on. He’s right, there’s no reason for me to hurt myself. Moving on is the best choice. *******Dad became the next leader of the Legion. I got the chance to witness his inauguration on live. I requested to join the ceremony, but Dad refused. Due to his reputation as w
DAVON’S POV“Hometown? You mean near Mia,” Victor came up to me and fixed my suit. He took my tie in my pocket and put it back on my neck, “Davon, why do you want to settle in that forgotten town? Here, you have everything. A mansion, a business, our pack, a good life.”“These are all nothing without Mia. I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for her. Why do you have issue with her and our hometown?” Victor stopped fixing my tie and stepped back, “I do not have. I just want you to realize how privilege we are to have the richness in life.”“I am honored, but you must understand that my mate is important to me too. I’m sure you’ll understand once you find your mate.”“Fine. You can attend to that school, but college would be here. I’ll arrange everything. We can build a house before the classes start,” Victor went back to his table.“Actually, I already have a plan.”The mansion beside my graveyard. I had it renovate to be my home when I returned to my land. Victor dissented my plan, but
MIA’S POV“Where?” I gulped. In the back of my mind, I was praying Cheska wouldn’t remember her Aunt Vera. “Nah! I forgot where. Anyways, I’m going to ask my parents about Nixon. They might be home for summer.”“Me too.” I exhaled. I thought Cheska got me there. I almost peed in my pants. “Okay, catch you two later. I’m going to call my parents,” Cheska headed to the door. “Look who’s excited now,” I tease. She just snubbed me and continued leaving. Theo shrugged, but stayed playing on his phone. At home, I told my Mom about Nixon’s invitation, but I made sure Jaret was already sleeping. He’s now on the day shift. “Where is he planning take you and youe friends?” Mom was skeptical. She knew Nixon was a werewolf and being an ex-member of the Legion, she doesn’t trust him.“We haven’t decided yet, but Nixon is harmless. You know that.”Mom couldn’t decide yet without knowing our destination. But from her reaction, I’m pretty sure she will let me go with them.What also worries Mom
MIA’S POV“What was that? Another werewolf?” I looked around. The howl seemed to be nearby. Nixon shifted back to human, and came to me, listening closely. “Probably. I’m not surprise if it was another werewolf. Let’s take a stroll.”“So there are many of you in this world. Great.”“More than you can ever imagine,” Nixon shifted again and squatted.“Hop on my back,” he speak inside my head. I was flabbergasted that he could communicate with me through my mind. As far as I know, only mates can do that especially that I am a human. “How did you....”“I told you, you are my mate. Now hop on!”I rode his back. Nixon ran into the woods as far as he could get. We tour the island in the dark. There are spots where I couldn’t see anything, but werewolves just like other night crawlers could see in the dark.He was my guide, and would stopped and showed me the hidden wonders of the island. “Wow! I never thought darkness could be beautiful,” I saw the fireflies lighting our way. They were r
MIA’S POV“How sweet.”Cheska jokingly giggled seeing the flowers delivered in our room. It came from Nixon. He is formally courting me now, and didn’t expect he would be serious. “A bouquet of red roses,” I smelled the flowers. They were freshly picked and still smell like morning breeze.“He’s officially courting you. Congratulations. Now don’t act silly because that doesn’t mean that you are going to accept his love. There’s more thing to do.”“He knows that, and he is patient,” I defended Nixon a bit. “Whatever. You are not going to be her girl. Don’t complicate things.”Am I making it complicated? As far as I know, I am only allowing Nixon to court me, not to be his girlfriend yet, because no matter how I tried, Davon still owns my heart. Staying in the island has been fun so far. The vacation was worth it, and Nixon effortlessly entertained us. Cheska may not showing it, but she appreciate the gesture, but not his friends. “Come on! Pass the ball!” Theo yelled. We were playi
