Alexis’ POV“A ruling was made that the white wolf would be executed in front of the entire pack if she ever gets found. Beheaded and left to rot in the deepest part of the fortress. Be careful…Alexis.”The creepy woman’s voice keeps ringing in my head ever since yesterday, and even today, as I get prepared for work. I try to shake her words out of my head, but it only keeps whispering into the privacy of my mind, crawling its way stubbornly in. It was the way she had called my name that bothers me. How did she get to know my name? At first, I try to convince myself that someone in the shop had said my name and she had picked it. But then again, I am sure no one had called my name at that moment. Freeda was busy on her phone, and Ms Bell and her daughter were not in the cafe.And when she asked about my shifting…It was even scarier. Not that my shifting is anything close to scary. But the truth of my shifting is a secret only known between me and Grandma Rivera. I try to convince m

DONOVAN’S POVAs I wait gingerly for Alexis’ return, I brace myself for whatever I have in mind to say. Which in all honesty, I was a completely blank mind.At this point, I am beginning to question why I had asked to see her in the first place. Perhaps I wanted to have a moment with the one who is supposed to be my mate and future luna?Short, precise footsteps near me, and I raise my gaze from the table to see Alexis walking towards me. When she is a foot from me, I gesture to the empty seat directly in front of me, and she hesitantly sits on it. It is obvious that I am the last person she wants to be with.A feeling of inferiority suddenly washes through me at the thought. Is she scared of me? Does she not like me like the other girls?But instead, I hide my feeling of inferiority behind a mask of cold indifference and maintain a cold composure.“You’re stubborn.” The first words I say cause her downcast eyes to lift as she stares back at me. Her brows crease in a frown, and her s

ALEXIS’ POVMy best times of the day are during closing hours in school and closing hours at Macy’s. No more taking orders and forcing fake hospitable smiles for customers, and putting up with the rude or creepy ones.Just like the lady from the other day.I cant believe I have almost forgotten about her already. I am glad I have because even as little as thinking about it sends me chills. After changing out of my work uniform and into my casual wears in the dressing room, I return back to my counter and sling my backpack over my shoulders. From the other end of the room is Paisley seated on a table, her legs crossed on it as she makes use of her phone while stealing occasional rude glances at me. I ignore her childish behaviour and focus on clearing my counter. Unlike Lori whose hostility over me is somethimg i can classify is under her insecurity issues and because she is a mean girl, I still don't get why Paisley and I never get along either. She is literally nice to every ot

ALEXIS’ POVThe loud shrill of my alarm clock jolts me awake and I groan lowly and sink deeper into the warm sheets. It is morning again and we have to continue the circle of life. And I am no exception.I roll my weight off the bed until I land from the bed to the bare floors with a plod. My back aches a little from the fall, causing me to awake fully. I groan again and lazilly pull myself out of the floors and into the bathroom where I take a quick shower and brush my teeth.I return back to the room a few minutes later and change into a pair of sweatshirt and baggy jeans. I can count how many times i have repeated this clothes this term in school. I am sure at this stage, almost everyone in school can identify me with my repeated clothes by now.I scamper out of my room to our tiny congested kitchen to make breakfast. Other days, grandma Rivera would be the one to fix me breakfast but yesterday, she had gone to visit her close friend in the west side of the fortress and would be c

ALEXIS' POVI am beyond surprised when Donovan turns up in front of Aurora's parents house and with the way he speaks informally with the old couples, it is obvious he has known them for quite sometime now."Come, come, honey." Mrs Zack brings me closer to her bosom in a pamper child-like manner. "I'm sorry about what happened to you. You'll be safe with us till your grand mother returns."I squint my eyes in puzzle at Donovan who stands with a confident poise, watching us. His hands tucked deep into his pocket.What could he have possibly told them?"Thank you, Mr and Mrs Zack." He thanks the couple with a curt bow of his head. "I shall be taking my leave now.""Alright, son." Mr Zack gives him a friendly pat on the back and this time, I am more than a hundred percent sure they are pretty close. No one can come up close to an Alpha this way, talk more of trying to touch him in any way. "Thank you for bringing her to us. Like I have always said, you will do best as the Alpha of our t
