STAR 'S POV
It was the early dawn of winter, the moon seemed to be at sleep, the stars mocking me from above, if you listened well enough you could hear the light whispers of the winter wind: to walk through the woods at that time of year was like a death wish, the worst could happen. Remembering stories of ghosts and witches in the woods got me frightened at the least. It took courage to walk through those woods. The chilly weather wasn’t any help, neither were my clothes. A white off-shoulder lace top and a red mini skirt are not an outfit for weather like this. I couldn’t remember why I was in the woods in the first place, and with the clothes, I was on for that matter, I rarely go out like this, my mom always nags about how I should cover up my blossoms, to keep men from preying on me, I never quite understood it though, to me the blossoms aren’t anything special, they feel too big and my pointed nipples always make it seem I’m turned on, so I’m forced to wear a bra even though I hate them. I gasped out in relief as I approached the house, a frown following quickly realizing how mad Aunt Kate would be at me for arriving late from school. All thanks to Rose and Linda taking my bus fare, although on the bright side I did get to meet Alex, I don’t think I will be forgetting how it happened anytime soon.
It was lunch break and I was on my way to the lady's room until I was held back by Rose and Linda- I hate them both so much for they always overpower me so hating them is the only option, if I don’t want to be visiting the clinic for a broken nose stitch every day- Rose stood in front of me, without looking up I turned to leave but Linda also blocked me from behind.
" Where are you heading ? " Linda snorted out, scrutinizing me from the crown of my head to my feet. I stepped to my left to move but Rose grabbed my hair so hard I could feel it being ripped off, Linda then grabbed my bag ransacked through, she yanked my purse from the bag as if she had a personal problem with the bag,
" Hey that's mine!" I cried, feeling so weak and powerless wishing and hoping this will end soon.
"Linda got me the scissors, " Rose ordered with so much authority and eagerness.
Linda looked shocked, her eyes wide opened and asked "Wait, what? Are you seriously pushing through with that?"
Rose hissed through clenched teeth and answered"Yes, dummy what does it look like? "
Linda looked unsure of the request, she hesitated for a minute but dug into her bag and brought out little scissors.
" What are you going to do with that?" I wanted to sound firm but my voice and legs were trembling so much, I whimpered.Rose came so close to my left ear, licked it, and whispered "since you don't know I would be glad to tell you. I am going to give you a haircut. "
A haircut, I blinked, this can't be happening " What no, please not my hair. " I struggled but I couldn’t shrug them off, little tears started trickling down my eyes then. "No please don't do this, please. I will do anything you want but please not my hair."
Rose gave a sinister laugh, Linda just stood there holding me firm, I could see the pity she felt for me in her eyes. We locked eyes and she lowered her head; I swear if I had strength enough, I would have punched her so hard.
"Hold her still " Rose roared with so much annoyance. Linda hesitated again but obeyed, her reluctant attitude was pissing me off.
"No please don't "I begged"You think you are so pretty and powerful with your wavy locks. Well, newsflash says bye-bye to it. " She placed the scissors at my tips and was about to cut them. I closed my eyes and breathed out a shaky breath.
"What are you doing? ". the deep bass of that voice could halt a beating heart, and only one person has that voice in the whole wide world, opening my eyes I saw Alex, Alex Baldwin. Rose and Linda let go of me in an instant. Rose looked straight at Alex. You could see the contempt and fear in her eyes. Then I heard the voice, which rarely speaks to me laced with anger."Back off, " he said but who? I was so lost in the moment I didn't realize Linda and Rose had left Alex and I by the corridor.
"Hey, are you alright? Alex asked.I couldn't answer, I tried to but no words came out. His eyes, he has such a beautiful color of eyes. Emerald green and orange. His hair is sleek black and shoulder length. He was built but not fully, tall and breathtaking.
"Star... Star..." Alex was waving right at my face.
I snapped back to reality, blinking and clearing my throat, I said "Sorry I was just shocked by the whole incident, thank you for saving me again, I promise to make it up to you, anything" My tongue was lost all of a sudden. Alex just stood there smiling down at me. He took a step forward; I took a step back. He took another step forward and I took another back then I ran out of space to go back. He came closer. He placed his right hand on my cheek and placed his left hand on my side, pulling me closer to him. I felt so hot, heat creeping to my face, I was flushed. He placed his nose on my hair and inhaled deeply. I closed my eyes and whispered
"ALEX" my voice was so faint and deep, deep down I was hoping for something more magical, something real .
"Soon , very soon. " I heard that same voice whispering to me, laced with desire and need.
When I opened my eyes, Alex was gone.
I was brought back from my dream Land when I heard footsteps directly behind me. I stopped and turned but there was no one. Moving forward I heard footsteps again. Someone was trailing me. I walked faster and started to run. Fear gripped me like the clouds gripped the sky. Turning back, I tripped and was about to fall face flat to the ground but instead of the ground, I fell on something fluffy, hard but fluffy. Opening my eyes, I was met with emerald green eyes which then turned to orange right before me. My breath caught in my throat. The eyes looked so familiar.
I shot awake. My heart was beating so fast like I ran a marathon. Sweat drenched my pillow, my mouth dry. Placing my right hand on my chest, to calm my beating heart, I looked around trying to get my surroundings. But something seemed off. This is not my room. This room was spacious and had a masculine setting. A big size master bed in the middle with grey color silk bed sheets, a little cardboard by the left, a large mirror directly opposite the bed. Plain walls painted gray with all screaming power. Whoever owns this room must be a very powerful person, someone with authority. To my right, I could see a large door, I wondered what was behind that door. Where am I and how did I get here? Someone knocked on the door and came in. I was met with emerald green eyes.
ALEX'S POVI stepped into the bright morning sun and could feel its immediate impact on my skin although winter was at its peak, I could still feel the sun rays enriching my skin with a tangling sensation . Was so eager on my way to school like a child eager to see what lies beneath the Christmas tree wondering what the gift contained, so eager to see her, to smell her, touch her, I can't wait to taste her. I approached the school entrance with my backpack hanged on my left shoulder scanning the entrance but my wolf senses rose with so much force it sent goosebumps across and brought me to a halt, something was wrong, I couldn't feel her or smell her. I stood still at the entrance into the school hallway using my wolf senses, I tried to smell her. Something is wrong. I could smell her 12km away, especially when we were in the same building. It means she is not in school yet but I know her to be an early person and it's some minutes past 9 am. Something is wrong. I walked briskly
INFINITE'S POV"Boss, she is awake. " I hate being interrupted especially when I am busy with a blond, sucking. The site before me was a site to behold, two sprightly portable breasts and a nipple pointed towards me begging for my attention coupled with her legs fully parted. I am not going to forget this one anytime soon. But what is in the other room is more important and bidding than what I have before me. "Set the table and get her ready." Ordering my servant, I gave the blonde one last long and hard kiss.``Wait for me, fully naked and parted." whacking her on her ass, I stood up and left. STAR'S POVAlex……. no this is not Alex but a blond lady with the same emerald green eye color but this time, it was laced with black all around the Iris. The lady opened the door and came into the room. She was dressed in a leather jacket, a red top beneath ripped jeans, and boots. Her hair was wavy and stopped at her mid back, styled fashionably. She was a badass. When she turned to face m
ALEX'S POVFor one excruciating moment, silence reigned deep within me left in my thoughts. Winter is fast approaching, so is the blood moon. My pack was all round the place like vultures scavenging it's prey guarding it. Justin and Ethan at my both sides , Allison and Cain by the entrance and Styles at the rooftop , to notify us if any vehicle or person approaches. I can't go anywhere without them. My pack except school that is but anywhere that means real business, I go with them . We all have known each other since childhood, having each other's backs supporting each other . Separation seems like an impossible prediction. Looking at Stella or Kate or whatever she is being called was not helping at all. I was really getting pissed off just hearing her voice. Star has not been home for over 24hrs and here she is giving me excuses. I would have broken her nose by punching her so hard in the face,but I can't. She being mum's distant cousin serves as a saving grace. And it won't see
STAR'S POVWhen I walked into the sitting room Aunt Kate was nowhere but it smelled like a wet dog."What was here? ." The kitchen was downstairs, at the extreme of the house . It was a joint kitchen with a dining room. I stepped into the kitchen and it was properly cleaned. Turning to walk out , I noticed two used tea cups at the counter. Saying to myself"Aunt Kate had a visitor. ``But who may that be ? She is rarely visited , I thought to myself with a frown on my face. Where is she ? " Aunt Kate Aunt Kate" Screaming on top of my voice. Where is she?"Finally you're home. I thought you lost your way home" Aunt Kate said walking from the sitting room into the kitchen with a red hand towel cleaning her hands. Rushing to hug her, she opened her arms welcoming me." I am sorry, it was." I tried explaining but she cut me off."Shhhhh, it's ok . It's in the past now. You are safe and that is what matters. Go upstairs,take a shower and rest. Breakfast will be served, ok. Sure you are
STAR'S POV It's prom night, fully dressed in my red shiny handless short gown with suede hand gloves to my elbows. My hair was in a stylish loose bun decorated with pearls matched with diamond necklace and earrings. I put on a black sandal heel . Applying my lipstick which is deep red in color , Aunt Kate stood behind me and watched in awe. I turned to look at her and she said "You look so much like your mum. Beautiful and smart. You are ready and who is your date ?" When she asked this question there was a knock on the door."Just guess. It's a surprise. " Giggling, I went to the door and opened it. My knight in shining armor stepped in with a bouquet of red roses in his left hand, dressed in a tailored dark tuxedo. His hair gelled back. He looks so handsome."Aunt Kate this is Alex, Alex this is my Aunt Kate. She is like a mother to me." Introducing Alex and Aunt Kate.Alex just nodded his head and said "It was nice meeting you."Aunt Kate responded "Likewise." An unknown tens
STAR'S POV"Aunt Kate, I don't understand what I saw and how is it possible that I could see that ?" I said to her but she didn't move or blink but she was staring at me. How is that possible? I placed my right hand on her chest and could not find her heart beat. It was then it hit me . She is dead . I felt the agonizing pain seeping through my veins and deep into my heart shattering it to pieces with every passing second. I looked into her eyes and could see how lifless it was. She felt cold , really cold . Coming close to her face I called out her name"Aunt Kate. Aunt Kate." "Star, she is gone." Alex spoke At that moment it began to snow. The earth seems to be in accordance with the predicament that just happened. Rocking back and front , I screamed "NO." I felt every fiber in me vibrating and exploding. This can't be happening. It's a dream . It felt like a dream. Alex came to drag me saying"We need to leave"I turned with so much force and held Alex by the neck pinning him
STAR'S POV"Alex, Alex" His mum called out from the sitting room. Alex answered from the dining room. "Yes, mother? "Rushing to his side she said "Alex, he is back" .FINITIE'S POV"Were you able to get what I asked?" I glared at Red because I knew she was not able to get what I asked for and I want to know why. "No boss, I was not able to get it. " she said this while bowing down her head. Bowling my hands into fists on my table, I punched it with so much force a hole was formed in the middle of the table. I yelled "....and why was that? What stopped you from carrying out my orders ?......." "......It was Alex. He was there……" she stated without blinking. I jabbed the table the second time and a crack sound could be heard. Looking straight at her, I said"..... Alex was there and that stopped you from carrying out my orders ? For someone who can mask her scent, I am surprised at the silly excuse you are lying to me about. For the last time, what stopped you from carrying
TRACY'S POVGoosebumps could be clearly seen all over my body . Cold seeps slowly into my being. I waited and waited for what seemed like an eternity in the shower but he never came. I am such a fool to think that Infinite would ever love me like before. I heard him screaming on top of his voice while answering a phone call then he left the room in anger jamming the door and leaving a loud thud behind. I was in a kneeling position in the shower because Finite ordered me to. Positioning myself like a ball at a far corner near the sink, I hugged myself and cried, low and sorrowfully. I pitied myself at that moment. I poked myself forward and backwards. I know he doesn't love me. I'm like an object to him. He treats me like trash, he uses me whenever he feels like and I turn into a punching bag when he is pissed off.Sometimes I can't believe that we meant for each other. I can't believe I'm supposed to be by his side forever as he is my Alpha which resulted in him marketing me by the ne
