MIA'S POV I was in such a scurry, limping. Two steps of my feet were like ten steps for them. I suddenly tripped and fell to the ground. When I saw the wolves approaching really close, I covered my face and waited for them to devour my fragile body. Out of nowhere, Davon appeared in front of me. The wolves stopped and stared at him. They were listening to each other's growling. Davon's eyes are blazing with fury. He didn't shift, but his claws came out with his fangs. The wolves looked at each other, hesitating to come forward. They're like communicating, and one of them jumps on Davon. And with his strength, Davon hoisted the wolf and smashed him into the tree effortlessly. It whimpers and runaway. The other two backed off, tails between their legs, and retreated. "Mia, are you okay?" He squatted, checking on me. "Not really. I think my foot is swelling. I twist my ankle falling on my bike." Davon removed my shoes, and as expected, it started to bulge. Davon helped me to
MIA'S POV "Davon!" Davon heard me and announced that he was going home. His parents are expecting him to go home early, he reasoned. He didn't wait for Mom to stop him and headed to the door. When Mom followed him, he was gone. Leaving the door open. "That's strange," Mom said, scratching her head. It was nerve-wracking. I thought Davon would disappear in their front. My heart skipped beating out of fright. "You're friend is gone. He must have run fast." Mom went back to the table to finish her food. "Yeah, he runs fast. He's an athlete." "I think I like him, Mia," Oliver stood and put his plate in the sink, "You should say yes. Davon is strong. He can protect you." Mom laughed, listening to him. Oliver started to the stairs and looked back at us. "Don't make me repeat it. It would be best if you had a boyfriend. You are not getting any younger. I bet all your classmates have one." Oliver added and ran to his room. “Ah? Mom!” I finked on her. "Seriously, study first
NIXON'S POV My Dad, Faustus Bronx, was the keeper of peace in the Claw Empire. A brotherhood of all pack members in the country. Each Alpha has its responsibilities in the organization. My father was one of the council members that dealt with the safety of every pack member. The Alpha King led the brotherhood. It was established many decades ago to protect our kind from humans. Yes, werewolves are strong, but we don't stand a chance with the technology humans have. Outnumbered and outsmarted, the humans have the capability of wiping us out. And so we stay hidden as per the treaty is concerned. We signed an agreement with the human government to conceal our identity and end the threat between sides so that we can coexist. Humans and werewolves have been at war before. Our pack was forced to be exposed to the world when our land was conquered. Frustrations and anger fueled our fear for our family's safety. So we defended ourselves, which led to more killings. People treat us as anim
DAVON'S POVFinally, I'm going to have a job. I could help Mia now and take her out, just like what I read in the books. Humans called it a date. We could tour the city or go for a romantic dinner. My heart was ecstatic for my first day at work. Theo was very kind to get me the job. Our main goal was to learn the human ways. Theo will teach me, and also, I need to avoid Cheska. She's returning to school and perhaps spending more time with Mia because she was her best friend. I love the life outside of my notebook prison. I don't want to go back into that dark. "Davon, are you ready for your job?" Theo accompanied me on my first day, and if we had time, we would go around town and teach me about human ways. "So ready. Thank you for helping me, Theo. I appreciate it a lot.""Anything for you, bro. Here's my friend." Theo shook hands with a guy waiting for us outside a fancy house. He introduced me to him, and I discovered he was Jordan. Theo met him through online games, and they h
MIA'S POV "Cheska! Oh, my God! How are you?" I hugged my best friend tightly. My eyes were scanning around for Davon. He must have sensed Cheska and hidden immediately. He was nowhere around. "I miss you and Theo so much!" Cheska turned to Theo, who also hugged her. "Are you okay now? What happened to you? Why did you get sick?" I flood her with questions. Despite worrying about Davon, I really miss Cheska. Cheska assured us that she was not severely sick. Though she was weak and needed more time to heal and lots of rest. "Why didn't you go to the hospital? We went to your house, but your new maid wouldn't allow us in." "That was my aunt. She took care of me. I told her not to let you in because I didn't want you to get infected." She was lying, I know, because Davon had already told me, but that's her choice. I was keeping an eye on Davon. He was well hidden somewhere. Theo wanted to know the details of her illness and the medication. However, Cheska was not up to storytelling
MIA'S POV Jaret did it again. He had gone too far. Kathy rescued Mom. She managed to call her after Jaret left her badly beaten. "Oh, God! Mom." She was in the intensive care unit and underwent some immediate operation for her broken rib and a fractured wrist. Mom was covered with bruises, and her left eye swelled, making it hard for her to open it when I called her name. "Mia...," her lips quivered. Mom kept her lips sealed. A cut on the side of her lips prevents her from opening her mouth. Her tears stream on the side of her eyes. I pulled a tissue from the table and wiped it."Ines' car won't start again, so Carl offered to ride her home. Apparently, Jaret was still in your house and saw them. He got jealous and beat your Mom. Luckily, she was able to call me." Kathy explained and handed me a dozen pictures, "You can use this as evidence to put Jaret behind bars. I took that picture earlier. Also, if you need the hospital record, I could give it to you as long as you keep that m
MIA'S POVI sat leaning my back to Davon's grave. Screaming his name inside my head. Hoping he could hear me. The sun will set in a few hours, and Davon will return to the notebook again. No one will come and save me. "Davon, I'm in your grave. I'm lost. Please come and get me, please…"Alone and scared, I called Davon inside my head repeatedly. Worrying about my safety and Oliver's. He was left alone in the house by now. Jaret doesn't care and would go as he pleases. Shame on him. Sometimes I prayed for his death during a police operation. That's not good, but his demise means freedom for my family. "Huh?" I heard a rustling sound by the thick bushes. Afraid it could be a snake, I hurtled to stand and back off. Soon, darkness will take over, and the forest will be home to many predators lurking at night. I decided to hide in the old house. The massive door was hard to open. Using my remaining strength, I pushed it harder until it creaked open. It was an old house but was built
MIA'S POV An arm suddenly came out of the notebook that spooked us. It crawled out. Next was Davon's head screaming, forcing to be released. "Mia!" Davon called my name. He had difficulty coming out as if someone was pulling him back. I held his hand to help him. Theo pulled my waist. We pulled him with all our might until we saw Davon's knees. "Almost there! Keep pulling!" I shouted, "Davon, don't let go, okay? You're going to be free!"But the gold dust hovered on us and covered Davon's body, dragging him back in. The energy was so strong that it also pulled us. "Mia, let go!" Theo yelled. When I almost reach the notebook, Davon let go of my hand—staring at me with pleading eyes. "Mia!" Davon screamed as the notebook swallowed him in. The notebook floated again. Glowing like fire, the gold dust circled it, creating a whirlwind until all the pages reverted. It fell on the floor and returned to its usual form as if nothing had happened. "Mia? I..," Oliver was standing by the do
