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
DAVON’S POV "A witch? Since when did Victor had a witch friend?" "They've been friends for years. He occationalky visit him." "Really? He didn't learn from my mistake and trusted a witch," I sneered, recalling how I got curse. "That's on him, but we never trusted Erwan. We are force to treat him well because of your brother. No one trust a witch in our pack like you said based on your experienced." I want to meet that Erwan one of these days. If he can be trusted, he could continue to visit my people. If not, there is no reason to let him enter our pack. ****** “Any sighting of her?” I asked the guards I contracted, visiting my hometown. Mia was the main reason why I convinced Victor for the renovation and allowing me to attend the same school with Mia. “No sighting of her, sir. We have asked the clerk in the library and she had informed us that Mia was on leave,” they reported back. I sent them out to searched for Mia, but I guess I won't see her yet. “On leave? Is she in
MIA’S POV I was breathless seeing Davon entered the classroom. Our eyes met, but I immediately retracted. He introduced himself to the class and moved to a seat at the back. Davon dress expensively like his brother Victor. Confident and proud. Different from the Davon I once knew. City life changes him big time. What do I expect? He left and didn't bother to look back and forgotten us. That is how money could do to you. His eyes didn’t left my sight, but I pretended not affected by his presence. Davon is nothing to me now. He no longer exist in my life. “Welcome to our school, Mr. Maddox. I hope you enjoy your senior year here. If you have any questions or you need some guidance, my office is open to all students,” Professor Callahan said with full of enthusiasm. He was always been proud of our town, but knowing Davon as one of the oldest family living in this town, he found his new prospect to trade stories about this place’s history. “Thank you, Professor. I appreciate that.”
MIA’S POV“What are you talking, Dad?” I uttered softly.“You heard me right. Jeffrey is one of the members of Legion. He can protect you. Besides, he already confess his interest on you yesterday and he was very sincere.”Everyone congratulate us. I let my Dad’s words sink in to my perturbed mind. He already planned my marriage without asking me. Dad called Jeffrey and invited him to join us in the center stage. He was smiling widely waving to the crowd. He was about to hold my waist but I eluded him. “Don’t touch me,” I said and walked out. “Mia!” Dad called out, but I left swiftly, leaving my bike in Jeffrey’s car. I kept running without direction. All I wanted was to getaway. I thought meeting my father again was a good thing. Why would he want to betrothed me to a man I don’t love? Is it enough that he and Mom didn’t end well being in the same secret society. I stopped running and realized that I reached the bay walk. It was packed with tourist enjoying the beach. Sitting u
