OCEAN. I landed on my butt and groaned. Her window was a bit high, and I hadn’t expected that. I had to change my clothes, and wear something else. I had to go through the back door, and take the stairs to my room. I got in, took a quick shower, and changed my clothes. I went down to the dining area before her and Kasper. “Help, Vale, to set up the table.” I nodded, went to her in the kitchen, and started to set the table with different meals. “You smell different,” Vale said when I was taking the last dish. I had to smell the shirt that I wore. My first thought went to Eris if I had smelled of her. “And, I’m sorry I hit you the last time.” “I think I deserved that.” “I will try and be a mom to you.” “You don’t have to try, Vale. Eris needs you and that’s fine and my dad too.” “What about you?” “I’m happy as long as they are happy.” She pursed her lips and held the glasses. “I noticed you’ve become closer to Eris.” “I guess I should be right, or is there a reason why I
ERIS. “You didn’t have to do this…” I said with a smile. I hadn’t expected a surprise when I got home, but I got one. I didn’t know how I was going to react to it, so I stood there with mixed emotions. Ocean was standing there too, Alpha West, and Kasper. “It's great news, Eris.” Alpha West said, and came to give me a hug. He patted my back. “We got a call from the school that you had won the test, and we wanted to give you a surprise.” Mom added, and when he disengaged from the hug, Mom came to hug me as well. She kissed both of my cheeks. “Congratulations, Iris Potato.” I groaned at Ocean, he smirked, and tucked his hand in his pocket, before moving away to the dining area. “Congratulations, Eris, I know you were going to make it through.” “Thank you, Kas.” He nodded curtly and followed Ocean.“Tell me everything about it, Eris, I want to know how it happened, and…” Mom rasped. She held my arm and led me to the dining room. I started to tell her all about the event at scho
ERIS. “Eris, you’ve been avoiding me,” Kasper said as he tried to keep up with my pace. “I’ve a test today, and I’m kinda late for it.”“You came to school with Ocean.”I stole a glance at him. “I saw you when you came in, I was at the parking lot.” He said, and I kept walking. “He gave me a ride.” “Yeah.” I walked down to my locker. “You didn’t reply to any of my messages, you didn’t say anything, you ghosted me for days, Eris. Did I do something wrong? If I did, I'm sorry.” He stopped by my locker. “I’m sorry, Eris.” “I don’t want you treating me this way,” He placed his hand on the locker beside mine. “I told you, I have a test this morning and I don’t want to be there late. We will talk some other time. Maybe after, there’s something that I want to say to you.” “So you’re just going to keep avoiding me till then?” “Can you at least try to understand?” “I was the one who convinced you to go for it, I even submitted your form for you, and now you’re too busy to see me.”
OCEAN. “How do you think you become a good Alpha?” My mind wasn’t there, I was thinking of something else, how I could show Eris that I wanted her. That was what I was thinking of. I didn’t know what Dad was talking about in his office at the Pack house. I was lost in thought, and a little interaction with my wolf. She was still asleep when I woke up, so I left a note for her. I hope she finds the note before her Mom does. “What are you thinking of?” He asked, and I cleared my voice. “How to become a good Alpha.” “That’s right, that’s what you should be thinking of.” I wondered what Eris likes. She never got to tell me about it. Did she want me to find out? How was I even going to do that? “…that’s why you must start some certain steps, and protect your image. Are you listening to me?” “Of course.” What made her think that I didn’t want her? I had no clue what I should do to get her to love me. I was trying to control myself, and not get into fights, and I didn’t even want
OCEAN. The music was blaring through the home theater, and I wasn’t quite comfortable with it, the smell of alcohol, the flirting bodies rubbing against each other. I got sick of it. “Get out,” I told the girl who sat on my lap. “Ocean, why, we haven’t done anything…” I pushed her off, and she fell roughly on the hard floor. Everyone around gasped. “I told you to get off,” I grumbled, and stood up from the chair. I took the stairs, there were empty rooms upstairs. I needed somewhere to stay for a while because it felt like I shouldn’t be here. The first room I opened, Noah was making out with a girl. I closed it, and the other room was locked. I could hear the sound of their moaning. I heaved a sigh and made my way to the balcony with bottled water. “Ocean.” She looked familiar, but I couldn’t remember where I had met her. I furrowed my brows at her. “Do you remember me? We hooked up one time.” “I hooked up with a lot of girls,” I held the railing, and stared at the dark c
“Mom.” I said with a small smile, trying to hide the nervousness that I felt. Ocean was still seated on the bed, and I was seated in front of him. I tucked my hair behind both ears, she stared at me, and then at Ocean. “I made lunch.” Ocean stood up, “I came in to check up on her, I was about to leave, I still have something to do at the Pack house.” “I didn’t know you came home. I thought you would be home in the evening with your Dad.” “I…” Ocean stared at me, and I didn’t know about that either; did he come home because of me? He saw the picture and came home?“You should take some food to your Dad. I will pack some lunch for you both.” Mom said, and Ocean nodded. I don’t think I’ve seen him look a bit nervous because he had obviously run out of words to say to Mom. Mom left, and he came back to me, he held my hand and kissed it, he kissed my hair, and my forehead, and then a quick one on my lips before he hurried out of the room. Strange, how it made me smile. I picked
