ALEXIS' POVAs I walk closer towards the school field, I feel a sudden feeling of anxiety wash through me. The thought of Donovan clouds my mind. I have done my best to avoid him today and now, I fear I might run into him in the pitch. There is no doubt he would be there. He is the captain of the school team.I breathe a shaky breath through my mouth as I close the distance between myself and the pitch as I give silent prayers to the gods to save me from coming across him again. As my feet finally touch the edge of the pitch, the first sight I see is...Him.Hot and gorgeous and sexy in those yellow and white Jersey. His biceps and hard lines of his abs are tight against his wet shirt and the wet strands of his jet black hairs are gorgeous. I can almost feel a smile appearing on my lips and my face turning tomato red from blushing until it hit me.Squared straight on the face, knocking sense off my head and sending me flying to the bare grasses of the pitch. It takes me a few second

ALEXIS' POVI stretch with the rest of the girls as we warm up for our match. Our match isn't as official as the one in Redwood team. And neither is our field as greenery and aesthetic as theirs.We only play for fun here in the slums of Redwood and our pitch is wide and sandy. But we never complain. We have grown to love it. It is what makes us who we are."I have a suggestion, guys?" Laila, a short pixie haired girl says. "What about we let our wolves out before the match start. That way, we can put ourselves in high spirit."The rest of the girls squeal excitedly in support of Laila except me. Because I know that I can not be able to shift with the girls. Grandma Rivera has made me promise never to let the moment cause me to make the biggest mistake of my life.The girls begin to run into the woods now, readying to shift into their wolve selves. "Come on, Alex." Aurora pulls me along by the arm but I refuse to budge and I stand rooted to my spot. "No. I...I can't." My face falls a

ALEXIS' POVI had already knew what would come with my acceptance of coach Ryder's offer. And yet, I had gone ahead to accept it.It was a once in a lifetime opportunity to be a part of the RedWood football team. Anyone would kill for that. Just as I am ready to risk my peace of mind for it.The boys absolutely spite me now. For the rest of the week, my life in school turned a mess. Even messier than the first time they used to bully me. Everyone else in school was more than shocked I was now a part of the school football team. And the boys team for that. Even I felt the yellow and white team Jersey I am now made to wear looks quite awkward on me. Like it didn't fit me.Because I never belonged here in the first place.Donovan too wouldn't spare me a glance. This time, I know we are completely done. First, I hurt his pride by disgracing him on the pitch and now, I am now a part of his team.He would think I am still trying to challenge him. I wish he knows how wrong he is. I wish he k

ALEXIS POVIt is 9pm now and Marie’s is closed for the day. And as always, I do not spare an extra minute, and begin my journey home. I have had a long tiring day, just like every other day before this and right now, what I need to do so badly, is have a nice warm Granda Rivera’s meal and a long peaceful night sleep on my fateful old rickety bed.And pray that Lori gets better and I don't face expulsion tomorrow. In a few minutes, I am in my neighborhood fortress. That old slum neighborhood that housed all the low-class werewolves in Redwood. It is a place where criminals, drug addicts and prostitutes lurk around in every corner, their eyes prying on you. A place I have grown to love. I was born here, Grandma Rivera says. My mother had gotten pregnant for a random stranger during a one-night stand and when mother gave birth to me, she abandoned me at Grandma Rivera’s doorstep a few weeks later and ran away to a place where no one ever got to hear from her again. Whatever had happened

ALEXIS POVThe next few days in school were like one hell of a week for me. Everyone were keep a long distance with me, while whispering and pointing accusing fingers at me, behind my back. Although it was a good thing that Lori and her friends avoided me for the rest of the week, I couldn't help but feel bad over her bandaged nose which I had heard had broken from the impact of my fist on her face. Although it was quite funny seeing her a little disfigured, I strained myself a couple of times from laughing whenever she would stare at me with so much hate under her heavily bandaged nose. One thing that killed me most was the fact that Damien began to stare at me with so much distaste and irritation, like I was the filthiest thing he had ever come across. It did hurt me more than ever. But asides that, I had been serving my detention pretty well as the Principal had shown me mercy this time around, even when it was her daughter I had assaulted. Next time, she had warned, I would be
