Alana's POV. "Hello." I called as I walked inside Alaric and Ava's room, but to my disappointment, I didn't meet anyone inside. They were at breakfast this morning, and I had wanted to speak there, but Alpha Matthew wanted a silent meal today, so I couldn't say my mind. My face was getting better—in fact, so improved—and I thought it would be okay to appreciate Alaric and Ava, which was what brought me here. It looked as though I only had some acne and eczema now, which, by the way, was also getting cleared out. I could finally walk inside the halls with a smile on my face. I was about to leave when I saw no one when the door to the bathroom snapped open and Alaric came out with a wet towel hanging low on his waist. I could see his dick once again, and my insides twirled instantly. And on his face, there's a massive wave of soap, so he had his eyes closed. "Who's there?" He said with his hands in the air, as if to guide himself through the darkness since his eyes weren't opened

Alaric's POV. I headed inside Alana's room without knocking but lightly opened the door. She was not inside the bedroom, so I already figured that she would be on the balcony. I headed there, and when I met her, a smile landed on my face. She seemed very excited with the way she was humming to a song inside her head and opening the pages of the books with her face peaceful. I walked up close and watched further. Then my wolf emerged at the back of my head to grin as well. "She looks perfect." He said, which made me roll my eyes. That's not why we are here.I had neared her completely before she shifted her eyes to me and jumped up in shock with her hands flapped around. "AH!" Before she could scream aloud, I used my hands to cover her mouth and flared my eyes at her. "It's me, Alana." I told her, but she still seemed fretful."Hmmhmmhmm," she was murmuring. "hm, what?" I said before my senses told me that there was no way she could have spoken well. My hands were still cover

Alana’s POVI held my breath as Ava turned the explanation over in her head. Then she huffed and pulled Alaric away with her.I let out my breath heavily, my heart still beating fast. I don't know how I'd survived but I was glad I did!Whew!That Ava girl was no doubt a real life Regina George.And thank God for Alaric's quick thinking. At one point I'd thought he wouldn't play along and then Ava 2.0 would be unleashed. He was so smart. And I was glad of that.I slid to the ground as my imagination ran wild, thinking of what could have happened if I hadn't thought fast and Ava had caught Alaric and I having a heart to heart.I grimaced as I imagined her throwing me over the balcony. That wouldn't be pretty at all."Or what if she snuck into your room at night and –""Oh shut up Georgia." I cut my wolf off in one of her gory imaginations. I laughed lightly."Where do you get off dreaming up such mayhem?"Georgia began to giggle. "I'm your deepest darkest thoughts!" She said ominously.

Alaric's POVI felt steam emanate from my head as I walked on. I could only feel anger.I didn't know where I was going but I soon found myself at the bar.Just as well. I thought to myself and ordered a shot of vodka.At this rate Ava would drive me to an early grave…As the shot was placed in front of me I felt my phone ring. I decided it was Ava and didn't pick it up. I downed the shot and pushed the glass to the bartender.“Another.” I muttered.My jaw was aching because of how much I'd been clenching it in the past hour.I pressed my fingers into my eyes and sighed. Why was Ava being this way? I knew she'd always been a bit snobbish but I didn't think it could ever get to this level.Alana had been introduced as my sister for crying out loud!That automatically made her royalty no matter where she was coming from.I downed the second vodka shot.“Another.” I requested again.The bartender raised his brow but didn't say anything.My phone hadn't stopped ringing.Clenching my jaw a

Alana's POV I trembled as I hurried over to the wall to search for the light switch."Oh gracious moon goddess," I mumbled, stumbling over an unseen obstacle and stubbing my toe in the lit room."Damn... What kind of scream was that? I think my eardrums are leaking out of my head..." I heard the intruder mumble to himself, his words echoed in the unexpected aftermath of my collision. I swallowed and tapped the wall frantically, searching for the switch. I felt blood rushing up to my brain as fear surged through me. Who could possibly be the intruder? God I hoped it wasn't a rapist.Or had Ava sent someone to scare the bejesus out of me as revenge for seeing Alaric and I together?“Hey! Person! Where are you?” The man called out. His voice sounded kind of familiar…My body shook and I wanted to cry out in frustration at the fact that my lack of coordination which was caused by fear wasn't allowing me to find the light switch.Just as I thought I would surely collapse in a pile of tea
