MasukGabriel’s P.O.V.“But now you know she is our mate. Can you stop her from going away from the pack, Dad? And why did she choose that university? It takes a day by train to reach there, a… and because of the distance, they still don’t have an airport there.” Sylvester continued complaining while pleading to our father.I was also shocked to know that Sheryl chose Southford University and a few faraway universities for her degree.“Ask yourself, Sylvester. Why doesn't she stay anywhere near the pack? The way you treated her, it's still her faith in our pack that she is still here. Don’t forget that she can go to her father’s pack at any time.” Dad scolded him while glaring hard at him when I was about to interject.I shut my mouth and glared at Sylvester too.It was his fault that Sheryl decided to move away from us. She was stubborn and her determination is unshakable. She had Edwin and our father’s support. So, it was impossible to take their help to stop her.“But spending six years
Sylvester’s P.O.V. (Continued)I put the bowl on the bed in front of me and slowly slipped my hand behind her back. I wrapped my hand around her shoulder, pulling her into my side embrace.“You are right that it’s not advisable to go in these circumstances. Let’s our elders and school authority make the decision on this. They know better than us.” I comforted her while rubbing her arm gently.She still looked troubled but nodded in agreement.Edwin had already gone out by now. The door was still open, but he couldn’t hear our conversation from the kitchen.“So, what do you think we should do to get the information about Shannon’s other dummy accounts?” Raymond asked me in a serious tone, keeping the pitch low.We all fell silent for a few seconds, as I don’t have any idea about how to do that.I looked at Sheryl and saw her looking at me too.It startled me a little and I just blinked dumbly.“Why are you two looking at me like this?” I asked them, still startled when they didn’t look
Sylvester’s P.O.V.I knew that I overreacted when I saw Raymond and Sheryl sitting together on the bed, but she is my mate, and Raymond has no right to sit so close to her.Not when he also knows that she is my mate. But the thing that hurt the most was her reaction.She cowered behind him, looking at me fearfully; the bowl in her hand trembled a little.Raymond coaxed her to eat but I knew that she had already lost her appetite by now.Raymond moved a little away from her and took her laptop from the other side of her.I sat down at the foot of the bed, but my eyes were glued on Sheryl, who was now staring at the bowl in her hands.I apologized for scaring her, but the damage was already done.“Come here, Sylvester.” Raymond asked me while patting beside him.“Move away from her. I want to sit with her.” I ordered him through mind-link while standing up.“You have already scared her, and she is not a fool not to understand that you must have ordered me through mind-link to move away.
Sheryl’s P.O.V. (Continued)“She has cleared the first round of admission exams for Southford University, Edwin. Did you know about that?” Raymond asked Grandpa angrily while releasing me from his grip.I snatched my laptop from him and closed the flap while glaring at him.“Alpha Adrian and Luna Hailley also know about this, Raymond. Sheryl has their permission to attend the university.” Grandpa replied to him calmly while coming to us. He had two bowls in his hands, and steam was coming from them with a mouthwatering aroma that made my mouth water immediately.“Chicken noodles?” I exclaimed excitedly when I realized what he was bringing to us.I immediately put the laptop on my other side so that Raymond couldn’t take it again.“How can this be? She can’t go to that university?” Raymond yelled in panic, but my eyes were glued on the bowl that he brought to me, and I immediately grabbed it while drooling a little.I am so hungry that I could eat ten bowls of this.Grandpa gave the ot
Sheryl’s P.O.V. (Continued)My eyes lit up when an idea blew my mind.“I need your help, Raymond.” I replied to him hurriedly and immediately scooted inside on the bed to create some space for him beside me.He still looked at me with a concerned look but sat down at the empty space beside me.I took a deep breath and looked at him with a serious expression.“A few months ago, Shannon forced me to open a bank account in this bank.” I pointed towards the screen with a jerk of my head while putting my laptop on his lap.“Through a mediator from the school.” I paused while finishing my first statement. He widened his eyes in shock, and I blinked innocently.“You know very well how badly she treated me back then. She cornered me near the library and took me to an empty classroom. She dug her nails deep in my shoulder to make me do what she wanted me to do.” I explained while watching his expression darkening.The silence that fell between us was thick, but he took a deep breath, closed hi
Sheryl’s P.O.V.“Aaahhhhh. Home sweet home!” I exclaimed excitedly as I entered the apartment and ran towards my room excitedly. Finally, I was home, and this was the best thing that happened to me in the past two weeks.I heard Grandpa and Raymond chuckling behind me, but I didn’t mind them. The familiar scent of my room hit my nostrils, making me inhale sharply as soon as I opened the door to my room. I closed my eyes while inhaling the sweetest smell in the world.I felt at peace and the sense of security enveloped my body at once.This was the best feeling, and I missed it so much. I slowly walked to my bed and sat down at the edge while facing my study desk.“Mom. I am home.” I whispered while looking at my mother’s photo on the desk. Grandpa said that I am her copy, but I feel that she was more beautiful than me. I slowly raised my hand towards the photo frame and took the photo from the desk.This was a shot that Grandpa took when I was four years old and came here to celebrate
