Alessio “Don’t leave out the space behind the bed,” My voice rang from the other side of the room, making Mia’s hand still and take a deep, controlled breath. I don’t think she knew that I could hear her when she started to curse me under her breath for the fourth time in an hour, ‘Do this. Do that. Don’t do it so slow. Do it faster. The whole freaking time he doesn’t seem to have any other thing to do than to order me around. Even when he is now sitting at a table reading a book like some busybody, he can see what he thinks I am doing wrong like there are eyes on his dumb forehead.’ I clutched the book in my hand tighter, rubbing my lips with my fingers to hide the smile that almost broke out on my lips. But she continued her cursing through gritted teeth under her breath, ‘If he had not been a much better living being than Alpha Wyatt, and more powerful, I would have murdered him the very next day as well.’ What the fuck? She had also become still suddenly, staring into space

‘...I guess I have been going easy on you, haven’t I?’ - the words kept on ringing inside my head like a damn record over and over and over and over again. I was already freaked out of my mind and constantly on my toes, making sure to not make another mistake. His words were like a sword hanging over my neck, keeping me at my absolute best behaviour. I had to stop my ‘info exchange business’ too which made me cry a little from inside. My small stash of cash just remained small sadly. “Mia?” The manly voice had startled me, snatching me out of my thoughts. I saw Mr. Alex walking in from the main door of the pack house toward me. My fingers tightened on the pot that I was holding in my hands. Is he going to scold me again for not shifting that day? “Are you busy?” he asked politely, looking at the pot in my hands. I was silent for a brief moment. It would be rude to say ‘yes’, wouldn’t it? “No,” I stretched my lips in a smile, showing him that I will come back after placing the p

A smile appeared on my lips as he placed the tiara carefully on my head, my heart almost stopping as I felt his touch on my ears. He moved closer to me, his head tilting slightly as he stared at me with a look of wonder on his face. I felt my own cheeks heat up, feeling slightly embarrassed as I stared at his lips, unable to look away. He brought his hand up and gently caressed my cheek, causing my heart to flutter and my breath to hitch in my throat. He slowly brought his other hand up, the one that was holding the tiara, and gently caressed my cheek as well, sending shivers down my spine. I felt a warmness inside me that I had never felt before for anyone. He brought me a tiara to make sure I don’t feel bad for not getting picked for the moon goddess image. I knew he had not found it lying around. It was impossible with the crowd that was surrounding us. My gaze went to his hands that lowered again on his sides, noticing a few small dots of blood appearing on his skin, most probab

I could feel eyes on me when I walked to school. Boys kept on turning around to look at me when I walked past them. A while later it had almost turned spooky. With my hands clenched on my arms, I hastily walked inside the classroom to take a seat. Thankfully, I had started to understand the subjects and topics so the classes became easier. Maths was still hard, but at least I was not lagging behind too much. As the class almost came to an end, the teacher announced, “There will be a group project now. Four people in each group. You need to create a creative model of our ongoing chapter.” The teacher started to pair up people according to students in each row. When it was my turn to stand up to form a group, I turned kind of shaky, worrying if anyone would even want to pair up with me or not as I was perhaps the weakest student in the classroom. “Mia’s group. If you want to be paired up with her, please raise your hands.” Unexpectedly several hands lifted up in the air, all of th

With a thudding heart, I paced back and forth in the corridor. I was scared. Terrified, in fact. I could not stop thinking about what Liam had said. I knew he was about to do something disastrous. He was going to harm Alessio. And I did not want him to harm Alessio, not because he was my ex-mate and my feelings for him still kept on rising, but because I genuinely thought he had not done something to deserve getting killed. Behind those snide remarks, smirks, taunts and comments, he did not take advantage of our weakness. He did snatch the alpha position from us after coming here, but his power was enough to kick us out of the pack immediately. After all, who would want to keep the traitors in the pack? No alpha would ever let a constant danger live in his pack, but Alessio gave us a second chance. Hell, he even let Liam keep his beta position. I did not want Alessio to get hurt. I also did not want Liam to get hurt but his mindset is already fixed and is not going to change, no matt
