MIA’S POV“He is not!” I sit up, objecting. “Then what is he talking about?” “Look, Mr. Lucas, it’s a long story but if you let me. I will explain….”“Davon, that’s enough! Will you please just go! You are not invited here,” I shamed him. With Dad around, I don’t think it’s a good idea to dwell in the past. Davon left in silence. For everyone’s peace of mind, Nixon left too. Dad doesn’t want any werewolves in my room, and I know he will not back off. “I brought you some flowers,” Jeffrey place it on the table, setting aside Nixon and Davon’s flowers, “How do you feel?”Jeffrey touch my forehead. I slapped his hand and move away. “Baby girl, he is only concern for you,” Dad defended him, and because of that, I lost my interest to talk to him. Obviously, I don’t like Jeffrey, but he’s pushing it. “Okay, what happen? How did you end up here?” Dad asked. I turned my back on them, so Mom explained everything. I am not going to pretend anymore. Jeffrey is not welcome in the family and
DAVON’S POV“Elon Lucas. What a pleasant surprise?!” I was playing it cool, but deep inside I was terrified. Elon Lucas is mot a fan of my kind and yet here he is, in my house. Elon smiled. “Indeed. Actually, your presence in the hospital shocked me. I’m sure you already know why I am here.”“Hmm, coffee? Wine?” Elon chose wine. Preferably cognac. Fortunately, Victor set up a mini bar and filled it with all kinds of wine. It paid well. I told Alfred to serve the wine and joined them in the living room. I was rehearsing my answer in my thoughts just in case Mia already denied me.“Tell me about it,” Elon demanded, thanking Alfred for the wine. “It was a big mistake. Mia and I are not together just to make it clear. Well before, but its all over now.”I was studying Elon Lucas’s face. A wrinkle formed his brows which means he is not satisfied with my answer. That is up to him. I stated the truth. Nothing more, nothing less.“That is great. Not anymore that only prove to me that you
DAVON’S POVTheo narrated after I left. Mia’s struggle to forget me, our past, and our love. I now know why she hated me, and that made me wonder if I deserve her. “That’s sad, but let’s here Davon’s reasons. We cannot jump into conclusion without hearing his side,” Aunt Criselda said, waiting for me to talk. I explained everything to Theo. He was silent the whole time, contemplating on my story. If he deny me, I don’t know who else to approach to help me with Mia. “Bro, if you lost your phone, you should have visit her. I know it’s a long drive and very tiring, but at least that way Mia will know the problem.”“I know it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have assumed that she would wait for me and understand my situation without telling her. I was just caught up with the responsibility given to me, and I thought I needed to improve myself so I could catch up with this world.”“Catch up? Why, are you a caveman?” Aunt Criselda urged to eat the muffin, “There you have it Theo. Can you he
DAVON’S POVMia is the only person who could tell me about Vera. If she’s back, I have to be really careful and hide. Not only she could do harm to me but also to Mia. Theo told me that she would be discharge in the afternoon. I went back to the hospital dress as a utility personnel. I stole the uniform in the locker room of the stuff when I used the back door. Covering my face with a mask, I took a map and a pail, and clean the hallway on the floor where Mia was confined. I waited for a few minutes for Jeffrey or Elon, but I didn’t see their shadows. Moments later, I used the cap I found inside the utility uniform’s pocket and wears it. I went to Mia’s room and check the toilet. When it was clear that she was alone, I immediately approached her. “Mia, is it true that Vera is back?” “Davon? Oh, my God!” Mia glanced at the door, “If my Dad sees you you’re dead.”“I know that’s why I made sure they aren’t here. Is it true that Vera is back?” I checked the door every second. “Who t
Mia’s POV:Growing up in a broken family was not easy. The loneliness and the pain it’s a lot to take in. But over time, I learned to roll with it. Although sometimes I wish my life would be like other families, complete and happy.Mom works as a nurse. We were doing fine even without my dad, but then she married Jaret Colton. A police officer in our town, life became tragic. He often hurt my mom or me. I told her to divorce him, but mom was afraid of him. He threatened mom to hurt us if she left, and I kept my mouth shut to protect her. My brother Oliver is the only person who keeps us in this miserable life.“Mia!” Cheska threw a rolled paper on my face. “What?”“Gosh! Look at you, lost again. What’s up? Did Jaret beat your mom again?” Cheska came to me and whispered. “They fought this morning. I’m just worried.”“You know, if you take a picture of your mom and file a complaint to your lunatic stepdad, he would have been in prison by now.”“I can’t do that. He’s still Oliver’s dad
Mia’s POV:I am freaking out. I can feel my skin trembling in fear. Whatever! What the heck is going on here? How did this guy come out? “Exactly, Lau…I mean Mia, right?” His eyes sparkled in happiness. He caresses my cheek, and I feel a warm feeling, a tingling sensation in my whole being!“Yes. How did this happen? You’re free?!”“I think I am. You freed me!” he hugged me again. This time I let him do that. He’s been alone and trapped for fifty years. Maybe he needed a hug, but it felt so weird. “Thank you so much! How could I ever repay you?”I didn’t realize that I was dazing at him as he pulled back. He was like a God. Perfect in my sight. Aside from his long hair and mustache. I scanned his face and body with my eyes: his broad shoulders and muscular body registered in my mind. I couldn’t see any flaws. In fact, I can gaze at him forever without getting bored. How could such a man like him exist?“Ahh, are you with me?” he snaps his finger on my face.“Yeah. You’re alive!”“Ye
Mia’s POV: I watched Davon go. I know I just met him, but I hope he’ll be fine and find what he’s looking for. However, I doubt if his pack still exists. This place has changed over fifty years. Even if they are still alive, I’m sure they moved somewhere. Ding! My phone beeps. I got a message from my mom. She’ll be home late. Great. I hate going home without her. Jaret will be bossing me again. Just be patient self. One more year, and I’m out of here. I’ll be free from Jaret. I know mom will understand. “Ouch!” A soccer ball hit my arm, and I know exactly who did that intentionally. Nixon Bronx. The famous soccer player in our school. Everyone adores him. A campus crush he is. But not me. I hate him. He makes my life miserable in school. He is such a bully and a dick. So what if he got his good looks? That is not an excuse to bully someone. “Hey, Winnie! Care to pass the ball?” he calls me that. Because he said, I constantly whined during classes, especially about extra payments.
Mia’s POV:I hurried inside the house and locked all the doors. Luckily, Jaret was on the night shift. He waited for me to come home before leaving Oliver.My mind skipped Davon. After clearing the table and tucking Oliver in bed, I went to my room and got ready to sleep when Davon suddenly appeared like dust being dragged near the notebook again.“Davon!”“I can feel the notebook is slowly sucking me in, Mia,” his face gloomed.“So you’re free in the morning and trapped in the evening? Is that how your curse works?”“I have no idea, but this is better than staying in the dark for fifty years,” Davon watched the sun goes down as his body slowly pulverized and sucked inside the notebook.I flipped to the last page and asked Davon if he had found his pack. He didn’t. But he found his land and the tombstone his pack built to commemorate him and Laura. I feel sorry for him. This isn’t the world he used to live in, but I hope I can help him find his pack.I slept with Davon and Nixon, clou
