Allegra’s PovAs I stood in the clearing, buoyed by the wisdom and compassion of the Moon Goddess, a newfound sense of clarity washed over me like a cleansing tide. With each passing moment, the raw ache of betrayal began to ebb, replaced by a steely resolve and a determination to confront the challenges that lay ahead.Gathering my strength, I wiped away the last of my tears and squared my shoulders, ready to face Xander and my father once more. As I made my way back to the house, my heart pounded in my chest, a mixture of apprehension and determination coursing through my veins.As soon as I stepped through the door, Xander's eyes met mine, his expression a mix of relief and apprehension. Without hesitation, he rushed towards me, arms outstretched, ready to envelop me in a comforting embrace. But I held up a hand, stopping him in his tracks.“Not yet,” I murmured, my voice barely above a whisper. “I'm not ready.”Xander's brow furrowed confused, and his eyes filled with concern. “Al
Allegra’s PovI asked that question, and Xander sighed, running a hand through his hair as he struggled to find the right words. “I never meant to hurt you,” he began, his voice tinged with remorse. “But I was desperate, Allegra. Desperate to protect you, to keep you safe from those who would seek to harm you.”I furrowed my brow, confusion flickering in the depths of my eyes. “Protect me?” I echoed the words, heavy with disbelief. “From what?”Xander hesitated, his gaze shifting away from mine as he wrestled with his own inner demons. “From my past,” he finally admitted, his voice barely above a whisper. “From the enemies I've made, the battles I've fought, and the secrets I've kept.”My heart clenched at his words, a sense of foreboding settling over me like a dark cloud. “What secrets?” I demanded, my voice trembling with emotion. “What aren't you telling me, Xander?”Xander took a deep breath, his eyes filled with regret, as he met my gaze. “I'm not who you think I am, Allegra,” h
Xander’s PovAs days turned into weeks, the rift that had once threatened to tear us apart seemed to heal, replaced by a newfound sense of closeness and unity. The forgiveness Allegra had extended to me washed away the lingering doubts and fears, leaving in its wake a sense of peace and contentment that I had long yearned for.Each day brought with it a renewed sense of purpose as we embraced the opportunity to reconnect with her father, Alpha Arnold, in ways we had never thought possible. As we delved into shared memories and created new ones together, the bonds of family grew stronger, weaving us together in an unbreakable bond of love and acceptance.One afternoon, as we sat together in the garden, basking in the warmth of the sun, Alpha Arnold turned to me with a smile, his eyes filled with warmth and affection. “Xander,” he began, his voice tinged with emotion. “I never thought I'd have the chance to get to know you like this.”I smiled back, feeling a surge of gratitude for the

I didn't know what to expect from the people, my old friends and all, I even thought of backing out, but what should be done must be done"Hello ma'am! Who are you and how may we help
"How is she doing?" That could not be possible right?How did Karl get to me?I hope this is me hallucinating thoughI mustered a little courage, and my eyes fluttered openThe urge to go back unconscious came rushing into meThere, just right above me, stood the man, whom I have known to be a monsterHe was smiling sweetly, but I knew what was behind that smile, if he knew that I went to Arnold for help, then I was surely done for"Hey babe! How are you feeling? Does your head hurt?" He asked, as he gently caressed my scalpI didn't say any word, but just kept staring at himThe accident wasn't that bad, and as a werewolf, I was healed already, but in other not to arouse the attention of humans, I had to be taken to the hospital, be checked up on, bla bla bla, just like the humans do"Good day sir, I'd like to announce that she is okay, and can now go home, but....""Yeah, I know just how to take care of my wife, thanks doc" he interrupted, this guy was insane"Wife?

KYLIE'S POV*Back to the Present*"You...." I couldn't even complete my statement, when he grabbed a handful of my hair, twisted and twirled it around his hand, until there was no room for any more twistingI felt as though my scalp was going to be separated from my skull, it was damn painful, but I bit down on my inner lips really hard till I could taste my own bloodThat action was to hide the muffled scream of pain that was threatening to come out of my lungsSeeing that I wasn't showing him any signs of pain, Karl pulled the twist of my hair backwards, with full force, making me feel the impact on my neckI couldn't help but let out a loud cry, he turned my head backwards so that I could see his face, there was an evil grin playing on his lipsThe urge to spit on him was there and I couldn't resist it"You disgusting bitch!" He growled and pushed me roughly to the ground, it was so hard that i twisted my ankle"Asswipe!" I cursed, while hissing in painKarl was too busy wiping off
KYLIE'S POVI woke up to the sound of water running in the bathroomNo one but me, was in the dusty and airy room"Karl! Karl!" Where was he?"Who's in the bathroom? Do you mind turning off the water? , its spilling out, into the room" I said at the top of my voiceI got no response, so I stood up to go check it out, surprisingly, i wasn't tiedOn getting to the bathroom, i found out no one was there tooThe water tap wasn't going off, no matter how hard I triedI knew what was coming, Karl wanted me to drown in the roomI once told him, that in my opinion, the worst way to die, was struggling for survival and eventually die"Wherever you are Karl, I want you to know that you're a jerk, you're a fool, you're an ingrate...."

Came flushing backI died, I fucking died....Wait! But if I died, then how am I here?I pinched my arm to be sure and it hurt, I couldn't believe it, I stretched my arms out and began staring at the back of my palms like it had some sort of amusement in it. I wiggled my fingers to make sure. Or could this be the land of the dead? It didn't look like it thoughThose were my thoughts, before I finally looked up at the person who spoke"Um...you?....""Yes, me — he responded with a small smile, then continued — I'm Freddy, we've met before.
