Grayson POV
It's been a week since I made the horrible mistake of drinking too much. We have since not gone out drinking again. I did make an appearance at every pub in the vicinity with live music. I have had no luck.
During the day, I sat down and did my assignments, and learned for the exams. This week I decided that I was going to sightsee before the exams. I mean, what is the use of visiting a country without seeing anything?
I am on my way to the Brandenburg gate. I was told that it symbolizes the separation between East and West Berlin. It was heavily damaged in world war 2 but has since been restored.
I get out of the cab and walk towards the gate. There are 5 walkways and 6 columns that separate them. It has a sandstone color. The middle column is wider than the rest.
On top of the bridge is a statue of the goddess of victory driving a chariot pulled by four horses. She is supposed to symbolize peace and was only added later.

Grayson POVI made my way to Museum Island. Yes, you heard correctly. Museum Island is home to 5 different museums. Altes Museum, Neues Museum, Alte National Galerie, Bode-Museum, and Pergamon Museum.First I went to the Altes Museum. It is a museum full of ancient art and antiquities. I stand in front of the museum. The mere size of it is amazing. On the south side of the museum, there are 18 columns. On top,there is a Latin inscription that I cannot understand.There are also 18 eagles on top of the roof. One for each column. Higher up there are two men who look like they are fighting horses.I walk through the museum. I walk into the room where there are one of the more permanent exhibitions called the Ancient worlds. The whole room gives me the creeps. It is mostly sculptured without their heads or some of their limbs. I high tail out of there into the next room.Next up there are Roman marble heads. It is even more creepy so I walk to th
Grayson POVI arrived early this morning on Museum island. I want to go through at least 2 Museums today before the sunset.It is going to be hard. I usually get lost in museums and totally forget about time. Today it is time for the Neues Museum. This museum showcases art from the prehistoric up to the middle Ages.I walk into the first floor there is a collection of early humans. There is a lot of ceramic pots and brass pots that were used at that time in Egypt. There are also pots with images painted on.There are also busts of various people. These collections still freak me out. It is weird to see, a head, without a body.There are walls that look like it was taken directly out of a pyramid. The pharaoh busts and tombs There are even walls full of hieroglyphics.The bust of Nefertiti can also be seen here. The color on some of the artworks is amazing. It looks like it has been painted yesterday and not centuries ago.
Grayson PovExam time is here and I have never been this stressed out. These past 2 weeks I have been staying in and studying as much as I possibly could. My mind is numb and I can't take in any more information. That, however, didn't stop me from trying.This morning on my way to the university, I did try to learn some more. Like I said before, it did not work.Now, I am sitting in front of my exam paper, waiting for the test to start. I am feeling confident in my knowledge. There is no way that I am not going to pass. At least that is what I hope.The examiner in front of the class tells us it is time to start. I open up the paper and fill in my name on the test paper and the answer sheet.I take my time reading every single question and making sure that I understand them. I smile. I can confidently say that I know each answer by heart........................................................"Pens down, please. Time is up." I
Grayson POVExams are finally over. I have never been this happy about anything in my life. I am 4 weeks behind schedule in my travel plans, but I am glad I stayed in Germany until exams were over.It is currently vacation, and I am on my way back home. I didn't tell anyone beforehand since I want it to be a surprise. I can't wait to see my mother's face once she sees me.Every time I call her she keeps telling me that she wishes I was home. Christmas is also around the corner so now is the best time. I stopped at one of the shops and bought the whole family back home some presents.For Damian, I brought the newest mortal combat. He is the biggest gamer I know. It is also something that we can do together. For Evie, I didn't really know what to get her so I decided to give her some money so that she can buy her own present. There is still some time so I can always ask my mother to help pick out a present for Evie.For my mother, I bought some
Grayson PovI open my eyes. I am drenched in sweat from the nightmare that I had. I turn around to lay on my back, but I feel a body behind me.I turn around slowly and see that Evie has climbed into bed with me. She has tear stains on her face. I wake her up slowly."Evie, what is the matter?" I asked her with concern. She doesn't let anything phase her, so whatever made her cry must have been massive. She slowly opens her eyes. When she sees I am watching her closely she lets the tears flow once again."He.... he wasn't my mate." She says through her tears. I sit up straight. Did she have a boyfriend that we never knew about?"Who wasn't your mate?" I pull her closer."Matt. He found his mate today and it wasn't me." She cries louder and my heart goes out to her. I know a few guys and girls that dated all trough out high school. They truly believed that they were mates until they turned 16 then they found out that it was not true."
Grayson PovI wake up with a song in my heart. Last year I couldn't spend Thanksgiving with my family, since Alpha school doesn't really close for the holidays. This year I can spend it with all the people that matter the most.I hope Uncle Mason and Aunt Ann is also here. I cant wait to see them.I make my way towards the kitchen in the packhouse. There is already a mountain of food that the cooks have prepared. Well to be honest it is hard to feed a pack of almost 200 people. I can bet you that my mother and the cooks have been busy for the past week just to cook all the food for today.I nearly made it outside when I was tackled down by 3 bodies. I laugh because I know who it is. We call them the three musketeers. Abigail, Evie, and Ciara. These 3 girls have been as thick as thieves since about 2 years ago. Abigail is Aunt Ann and Uncle Mason's daughter.She is 4 years younger than me. When she was younger she was almost attached to
Grayson PovThe first of December has finally arrived. This is the time of year that all of the small children look forward to. It is the same day as when the snow starts to fall.When I woke up this morning, the snow already started to fall. The grounds were already covered in snow. I already heard some of the kids holding a snowball fight outside.Today is also the day that we start decorating the packhouse and all the houses surrounding it. We start with our own houses then move on to the packhouse since the packhouse is the biggest.We stood up early this morning to finish up the Alpha house. Now we are on our way to the packhouse.The reason we only start decorating on the first of December is that my mother believes it is bad luck to do it beforehand. We tried through the years to convince her to do it right after Thanksgiving, but she is like a stubborn mule. Her human parent's teachings already stuck with her.The decorating of the C
Mia PovChristmas is the time for family and friends to spend time together. I invited all my closest friends to come and spend time with me and Liam. It has been years since we had a house full of people. My parents always went big at Christmas. They always invited the whole family, but after they died it was like the whole family just vanished from the face of the earth. This year we have something to celebrate. It was a hard year. The paperwork came back a week ago. I am officially Liam's legal guardian. No one will be able to take him away from me now. It is all thanks to Patrick.Dominic closes the pub on Christmas and that is also the day that we are closed during the year. I am grateful for the time off away from the pub. Since Cleo was fired for the role that she played in taking my brother away, I have been working non-stop. We don't have another singer lined up.There is a knock on the door. Kai is standing outside."Where is Ava?" I asked
