CRYSTAL"Tea or coffee?" Simone asks as we walk into the living room but my belly is too full to take anything in. Not after Silver filled me up like he promised he would… then we had breakfast which was very awkward for me, I got to say.He didn’t let me leave without making sure I had something in my mouth. It was either food or… that."I'm fine," I tell her as I sit on the couch and look around. I don’t hear any sound coming from the other rooms-"I asked for privacy," she says. "He didn't mind though. I just wanted us to talk with no one around to listen in. you said it yourself, whether you like it or not, you just hear conversations when you’re within the area."Yes, that is very correct. Yet when the time came, I pretended not to hear her giggles over the phone, her soft murmurs or her soft moans. I was such an idiot and for the first time, I was a deaf werewolf.I hear Simone sniff and through my blurry vision, I see her wipe her tears. I haven't even started speaking yet."Don

CRYSTALI avoid dinner that night, pretending to be asleep when my mother sends someone to call me. She checks up on me herself later that night and it's even harder to pretend.She takes a while in my room, sitting next to me as I feign sleep. I feel her hands on my hair as she pat my head with loving tenderness and my heart almost melts at the closure.After a while, she presses a kiss to my cheek before leaving my room. I don't react immediately, not until her footsteps disappear down the stairs and I'm opening my eyes just in time for the tear to roll down my cheek.I can almost feel my mother's sadness and pain in the way she looks at me. She must miss me very much, that bit is obvious.My room is just how I left it; except that the bed is made and there are no clothes lying around in my hurry to fit everything into my little suitcase to escape the night. Everything is clearer now that I'm here.I stare at the moon right outside my window- one of the reasons I really liked my roo

CRYSTALRuby screams, snapping me out of my trance and I notice everyone has stopped and they've stepped back a few paces. She's suddenly in my face, grabbing my shoulders and shaking me furiously.“Don't use so much alpha aura but oh my god! That was amazing!” She squealed with a genuine smile on her face. “How'd you do that?”I blink in confusion, “Do… what?” I don't know what she's talking about and alpha aura? What does she mean by that?“You mean you don't know how you did that just now?” She growls in frustration. “You were spreading some really commanding authority in the air. Just look, everyone's all shaken up.”I look around me and she's not wrong. They are all staring, frozen like statues like they had just seen a ghost or witnessed something beyond words can describe.“Did that cause any harm?” I ask quickly, ready to apologise but Ruby laughs.“Of course not. You just showed off your dominance and dominated the shit out of this arena. Anyone around can surely feel the pres

CRYSTALSilver walks up to us, his eyes still having their glaring glow as he looks between Kevin and I. While I'm surprised as to what he's doing here, I'm more bothered about his attitude.'Get over here, now?' Who does he think he's talking to; his future wife?Well, that won't be wrong if I accept to swap places with Ruby.What am I thinking about now? I shake the thought out of my head-"No?" Silver tilts his head to me with his face still blank and eyes wide. "Crystal, who is this man?" I tense when I sniff the air with his pheromones in it. "And why won't you step away?""Ugh!" Kevin groans by my side and his hand slips from my arm as he drops to one of his knees, clutching his stomach with one hand and his head in the other."Stop it, Silver! You'll kill him!" I drop down to hold Kevin, pulling him into my body for him to lean on-Silver grabs my hand, "You're come with me-""For fuck sake, stop doing that! You'll kill him. Just let him go!" I scream at him, trying to yank my

CRYSTALMy eyes twitch at his words as I struggle to understand what he says. Deny what? Why should I deny anything? If anyone walks in on our conversation, they'd probably go 'awwn' at the lovers quarrel but we're from that.I frown at his words and how ridiculous my thoughts were just now. 'Lovers' is a too intimate term to describe us as, I'd rather not put a tag or a term to it."Stop this nonsense," I half scream, careful not to draw any attention to my room. There's an Alpha in the house and trust me when I say his eyes and ears are sharp enough to monitor everything that goes on in his house and pack."Leave my room if that's all you came for," I can't believe he made Kevin go through that for nothing.I can't believe I was unscattered by it. I still need to figure that out."It's too late for that now," he informs me in a nonchalant tone and I'm beginning to wonder if his mission on Earth is to piss me off. What is wrong with this man?It also doesn't help when he's wearing his
