Alexa, His Soulmate.

Chapter 1

Alexa's pov

Running... running... running!

I can't turn back, I'm scared..too scared to look back.

It's coming behind me, in a massive speed....I once turned and saw its red eyes and I couldn't look at it twice.

I'm tired but I must go on if I wanna stay alive...I must continue running.

*Alexa, run! Keep running!* She yells from behind me.

I increased my pace, running faster than before...I can't get caught.

*Run! Don't look back!* He urges me.

*Just run!* They both urged me.

I heard a thud but didn't turn back...the heavy footsteps stops, but not for long..it continues again.

I'm panting and running out of breathe but that didn't stop me...I must get out of here.

*Rebecca!* I heard his panicked cry.

I stop running abruptly and turn back....my eyes grew wide, my mouth hang open as I couldn't process what's happening.

*Rebecca!* He cried again....and the reality of what's happening dawned on me.

It has finally caught up with them...she laid on the ground with its might form over her... barring its teeth at her...ready to devour her.

He tries to fight it off but he obviously isn't strong enough...it pushed him away with its snout.

It already clenched its teeth on her neck, tearing it...I can't just watch, I must help.

I step forward but unfortunately its neck snaps towards my direction....I halt frighteningly.

*No!* A scream leaves my mouth.

It takes a step towards me....my heart beating fast but he suddenly steps in front of it...not flinching away from its glaring red eyes.

He pushes it back and grunts.

*Alexa, run!* He said before it tackles him and lands him on the ground.... its teeth positioned on his neck.

*NO!*

*

*

My eyes snaps open and I quickly sat up... panting heavily. My headaches and my hands move to my forehead.. wiping off the beads of sweat.

I reached for the table lamp and turn it on....I reached for the glass of water and pills on the nightstand...I stared at it and sighed deeply.

*Don't go into the woods... it's dangerous!*

*There are vicious beasts lurking around in the woods!*

*Always stay in the house and don't come out at night!*

Had I listened to these words....had I been obedient...I wouldn't be having this nightmares.

The door burst open and my brothers.... Micah and William...rushes in.

Though we all call Williams, Will.

Micah rushed straight to my bedside but Will flips the lights on before coming to me.

Will wipes off the sweat on my forehead... Micah holds my right hand in his.

"Lexa, are you alright?" Will asked.

"Had another nightmare?" Micah asked immediately after Will.

I simply nod to answer both their questions. Micah and Will exchange looks and Micah sighed.

"Thankfully, we are moving today!" Will said.

I raised my head at once with a surprise expression on.

"Moving?! When did that happen?! Why am I just finding out about it just now?!"

I studied their expressions as I questioned them... Micah is avoiding my gaze but Will kept a straight face on.

Micah turns to the alarm clock on my nightstand and gasp dramatically.

"It's 05:10am..." He claps his hands and stands up. "...Lexa, start packing, let's move!"

I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply...I don't have time for his jokes now.

I drop the pills I was holding and crossed my arms across my chest...a scorn on my face...I can imagine my brows knit together.

"No!" I said looking at Will....his straight face still on.

Micah laughs lightly.

"Come on, Lexa. Don't be stubborn now, we're doing this for your own good" he explained.

"No!" I said again.

"But...."

"No buts, Micah. I'm not moving!"

They both know I don't like it when we move...I always have problem adapting to a new environment.

"Lexa, don't be like that..now that mom and dad....."

"Stop!" I cut him off.

I don't like it when they mention our parents....I can't get over what happened yet, even if it's been almost a year now.

"We've moved more than 20 times, when are we gonna stop moving?" I asked.

"We're only trying to find a quiet place for you... somewhere that won't trigger your nightmares" Micah explained.

I scoffed...excuse! That's the only thing they say everytime they want us to move.

He points towards my window...wait, did I forget to lock my window before going to bed?

"Look, your window is just facing those woods...who knows if that's the reasons for your nightmares" he said.

I turn my gaze from the window to Will... he's exceptionally quiet.

Well, I don't need to tell you about their personalities now....you can clearly tell that Micah is the simple and approachable one among them.

Will is strict with me...no, he's strict with Micah and I...but a bit lenient with Micah.

"I still don't want to move, Micah" I said staring pointedly at Will..as if he's actually the one I'm talking to.

And truly he's the one I'm talking to...I was directing that comment to him.

"But Alexa....."

Will bangs on my nightstand and stands up...he stares at me sternly.

"We are moving today and that's final!" I flinched back and grab Micah's arm.

"Wi..Will..calm down, let's talk to her calmly, she'll understand"

"Well, you have been trying to talk to her calmly...did she understand?" He scolds Micah.

Ok, that's the only thing I like about him... instead of scolding me anytime I'm wrong, he scolds Micah instead.

He turns to me.

"Start packing up... we're moving by 8am!" He leaves my room immediately.

Micah sighs and sits on my bed, his hand on my right cheek... caressing it softly.

"Don't worry, Lexa, you'll adapt sooner than you expect" he said.

"Lie!"

"True! I'll take you round town when we get there...and who knows, you might make a whole lot of friends!"

I rolled my eyes...I know exactly what he's tryna do...I know what he meant by that.

"I'll show you all the beautiful scenery and....."

"Just tell me you want me to accompany you for your job hunting!" I interrupt him.

He smiles brightly and winks at me.

"You are really my sister...you know me too well"

I shake my head. I wish I can be this free to everyone...I wish I can make any friends and talk about anything and everything with my friends.

"Lexa! Lexa!" He snaps his fingers across my face.

I blinked a few times.

"What?"

"What were you thinking?"

"Nothing"

He chuckles and shakes his head.

"You were obviously thinking something"

"It's nothing..but I really don't wanna move..I'm tired of being a new student everytime!"

"You'll be fine"

Just when I was slowly accepting this place, we're moving again.

"I'm in my senior year, don't you think all these frequent migrating will affect my studies?"

"Nope! You're smart!"

"Try talking Will off....."

"No, Lexa. You can't continue having all these nightmares...it need to stop"

I huffed and rest my head on the headboard.

"Don't worry, I promise you...this will be the last time we move"

I rolled my eyes...he told me the same thing last time we moved here and here we are moving again.

"Don't roll your eyes at me missy...or I'll pluck 'em out!"

"Whatever!"

There's a long pause...none of us saying a word.

"Where are we going this time?" I asked.

"California!"

I hummed. Who knows where we'll go next...maybe France.

"And I believe we'll stay there for a very long time" he said.

"You sound so sure"

"Yeah... the agent guaranteed Will and I that the house we're moving in isn't near the woods...so, I don't think you'll have any nightmares"

I don't know why..but I suddenly released a long relief breath.

"I hope so!" I muttered silently.

"I know so!" He said.

His phone suddenly beeps, he reaches for it from his PJs pocket.

A small frown first appears on his forehead.. before a bright smile took over.

"Lexa, start packing... we're leaving by 8am!" He said and rushes towards the door.

"Wait...where are you rushing off to?" I asked.

"Oh, I got a text from Betty"

Betty?! Who's that?! I asked mentally with a confused frown.

He seems to notice my confused expression and smiles.

"Betty, my girlfriend!" He winks at me.

I groan....his one week girlfriend. I forgot to tell you guys... Micah is a playboy....almost every girl in Texas is his girlfriend.

I sometimes wonder if God made a mistake making this gross boy my brother.

"So....I'm gonna go!" He didn't even wait for my reply before dashing out.

My eyes meets my alarm clock... it's already 5:59am.... almost 6.

I climb down from my bed and head towards my closet...I pulled out my suitcase and opens it.

Seems I have no choice...I better start packing. I throw my hair in a messy bun and get into work.

*

*

Two hours later....

I look around my empty room....I'm long done packing and my luggages have already been moved out and put in the truck.

I flung my backpack on my shoulder and head for the door...just then I heard Will's voice from outside.

"Alexa! Come on!"

Humph! He reaches can't wait to leave this place....they say we're moving for my good...but why do I have this nagging feeling at the bank of my mind that we're actually running from something.

Like we're always on the run... whatever!

"Micah, go in there and pull that lady out!" Will growl at Micah.

"I'm out! I'm out!" I said immediately I step out...I shut the door in a loud bang.

I walk towards Will's old toyota camry...the one our dad left him. I made myself comfortable in the back seat..and pulled out a story book from my bag.

Will and Micah got in... Will starts the car and follows behind the truck moving our properties!

After a few moment of silence, Will and Micah begin to talk in hushed voices....I know they don't want me to hear their conversation.

So I engrossed myself in my storybook!

*

*

I yawned and open my eyes...I frown. When the heck did I fall asleep?

"You're awake!" Will said from the driver's seat.

Hold on... driver's seat?! We're still in the car?!

"Are we not there yet?" I asked.

"No!" They both replied.

I groan and slumps back on my seat....I looked out the window and saw tall trees swaying to the tone of the wind as we drive past.

My eyes shut involuntarily....tall trees...woods...they cause me nightmares.

I quickly look away but not quick enough....my eyes caught something in the woods. I looked again to confirm my doubt and truly there they are....the cause of my nightmares.

Two red eyes!

My head turns away and I faced front....I don't wanna look back. I need to get that picture off my mind.

"Alexa, are you ok?" Will asked me.

I guess he saw my frightened expression...I simply nod.

"Are you sure? Or you want to stop the car for a while?"

My eyes grew wide. Stop the car?! In the woods?!

"No!" I said too loudly.

Micah turns to me with a frown... Will can't turn as he's driving, so he looks at me from the rearview mirror.

"Are you sure you're ok?" Micah asked.

"You can tell us anything" Will said.

There's a moment of silence, they both waiting for my reply.

"I think I saw something in the woods!"

They both shared a look, Micah turns back to me.

"There's nothing in the woods, Lexa...your mind must be playing tricks on you" he said.

"Really?"

"Yeah.. maybe you're still thinking about the nightmare"

Hmm...that makes sense. It must be I'm just paranoid...I need to get that stupid picture off my head.

I reach for my phone and earbuds in my backpack...and begin to go through my playlists.

"How about we resume your therapy sessions when we're settled in california?" Will suggest.

"No!" I replied.

"Why?"

"It won't make any difference"

"Alexa...."

I ignore him and put on my earbuds and decide to play *stuck with you* by justin bieber and ariana grande.

I'm not gonna attend any therapy...I have tried it before it didn't work.

I just hope moving to California will help stop my nightmares.

Chapter 2

Alex's pov

After a long torturing drive... Will finally stops in front of a building.

Will and Micah quickly alighted, I also didn't waste any time to follow suit. Micah throws his arm around my shoulders and inhaled deeply.

"Lexa, can you feel the peace and quiet this place will bring you?" He asked.

I raised an eyebrow at him.

"We just got here... Who knows if we're gonna move tomorrow!"

He groans and rolls his eyeballs.

"You're such a killjoy!"

I chuckled at his failed attempt to cheer me up and make me love this place.

*Be careful, guys.. don't break anything!* I heard Will talking to the movers as they move in our stuffs.

I took the time to study the building... It looks like a portable mansion.

I nod.

My legs find their way to the backyard, to confirm if what Will and Micah said are true.

A small smile finds its way to my lips as I saw a small garden of roses and lilies instead.. and a single guava tree with a few guava fruit on it.

*This is perfect!* I thought mentally.

Maybe they're right, I might not get any nightmares since there's no woods behind.

Someone taps my shoulder and I turn... Micah and Will stands behind me... Will's hands tugged in his pocket and Micah smiling brightly.

"So.. what do you think?" Micah asked.

They both looking at me anxiously.. waiting for my reply.

I scoffed mentally, they're asking for my opinion now... As if it has ever mattered.

"Do you like it?" Micah asked again.

I nod.

"Yeah... since there's no woods!"

Micah claps his hands together and from my peripheral view, I saw Will sigh in relief... a small smile tugs at the corner of his lips.

"Excellent!" Micah said.

"The movers are done, let's go in and check the rooms!" Will said.

Micah takes my hand and pulls me along... I hope the inside won't disappoint me!

*

*

"Wow!"

I couldn't help it but awe at the beauty I'm seeing... Honestly, this house is ten times more beautiful than our previous house.

It's got high ceilings and high french windows... Let's just say I can't describe the interior in full, cause I'm pretty bad at descriptions!

Wait... I need to get the room with its window facing the garden.

I turned to Will with a smile... He studies my expression and sighed.

"Fine... It's that one over there!" He points to a room.

He already knows what I wanna ask... He doesn't need me to tell him.

I rushed there but not before yelling.. "Micah! Bring in my luggage!"

He groans but I hear him pulling my luggage along.

I enter the room and rushed towards the window... I opened it and smile as I breathe in.

The garden is right outside my window... I saw two butterflies, flying around a flower.

"Well, it seems you really like this place now!" Micah said.

I rolled my eyes.

"Micah, I only like the garden!"

"Oh!"

"Yeah!"

Will clears his throat and calls our attention.

"Well, Alexa, Micah and I have something to discuss... we'll leave you to unpack and settle in!"

I nod.. wanting them to leave. But my stomach growls loudly and I remember we haven't had any food since morning.

Micah looks at his wrist watch.

"Will, it's already lunchtime... Lexa and I will go for groceries shopping first"

I slaps his shoulder.

"Grocery shopping?!"

He nods.

"I'm already so hungry and you're talking about grocery shopping?!"

He nods again.

"Can you say something other than nodding?"

He chuckles lightly.

"We'll go buy groceries and Will is gonna cook for us!" He said.

I rolled my eyes for the hundredth time.. what a bunch of caring brothers I have.

I throw my backpack on my new bed and keep my storybook inside... Seeing my storybook, I suddenly remember something.

I stands up abruptly.

"What about school?"

They both frown.

"School?" They asked at once.

"Yeah.. when am I resuming school? This is my senior year, I can't slack off"

Micah laughs.

"Relax.. Will didn't forget you're a nerd..."

"I'm not a nerd!" I cut him off.

He nods frantically.

"Right, right....!"

"I found you your new school and talked with the principal last night... You're resuming tomorrow!" Will said.

I nod... At least they're not gonna delay my studies. I turned to Micah.

"Micah, you'll go the grocery shopping alone...I wanna unpack and get my things ready for tomorrow"

"No!" Micah and Will said at once.

I furrow my brows together.

"Ok... You're both acting weird!" They both have a scared expression on.

"Weird? We just don't want to leave you alone in the house" Micah said.

"I'm not alone, Will is gonna be here"

"Will... he...."

"I'm visiting one of my friends" Will cuts him off.

"Your friends?"

He and Micah nods.

"You have friends here?"

They nods again.

"Since when?"

They both exchange looks and Micah nods at Will... Like they just had a conversation telepathically.

"Remember I came here sometime ago for business?" Will asked.

"Yeah?" I replied.

"Well, I made a few friends then... Now that I'm here, I must check on them!"

Hmm... It's confirmed... Their acting strange.

Could it be my nightmares are taking a toll on them and they've gone.... Loco?!

"Come on, Lexa... I'm starving, let's get moving!" Micah said and grabs my hand.

He turns to Will.

"Extend my greetings to your friends!"

Will nods.... While Micah pulls me out.

*

*

Walking down the streets with Micah is a crime now! I mean, all the girls are glaring daggers at me... I guess they're thinking I'm his girlfriend.

I shake my head mentally... If only they knew I'm his younger sister!

Ok, enough of the girls talk... I noticed something else.

The people in general... Elderly ones... Men and women.. they all seem to be giving me a disgusting look... like I'm carrying some kind of disease.

They're murmuring among themselves as we walk past them... I pulled Micah closer and whisper in his ear.

"What's going on? Why are they staring at me like that?"

He look around and throw his arm around my shoulders.

"They can hear you!"

"Huh?" They can hear me? How?!

"Just ignore them... I bet they're just surprised to see new faces in their town"

Great! Just great! This is one of the reasons I hate moving!

Micah stops walking and I raised my head with a frown.

"Let's check out this supermarket!" He said and pulls me inside.

*

Writer's pov

"Stop there!" A guard stops William as he's about to walk through a gate.

The guard access him and sniffs the air.

"You're not a rogue.. who are you?" The guard asked.

"I'm Williams Dex!"

"That's not what I mean!" The guard retort harshly.

William smiles... He studies the guard and shakes his head.

*He must be a new guard!* He thought.

"Which pack are you from? And what's your rank? And why did you come to the Alpha King's mansion?!"

Williams rolled up his sleeve and shows the guard a small faded wolf's head tattoo on his arm.... The guard's eyes grows wide as recognition flash across his eyes.

"I'm Williams Dex... from crescent moonstone pack... from the royal spy's family!"

The guard bows his head immediately he realizes william's rank is far higher than his.

"I'm so..sorry, Mr spy.. how may I help you?" He stutters a little.

"I want to see the alpha King!"

The guard nods..."I'll inform him!"

The guard rushes in and came out after a few minutes.

"Mr spy, this way, please!"

William nods and follows him. After a few minutes of walking down a very long corridor, they stopped at a big door...made of oak wood.

Alpha King's office boldly written above it.

The guard knocks a few times and hears a faint "come in!"

He opens the door and they both steps in... william and the guard quickly bows their heads as they saw the people inside the office.

The alpha King sits on his big chair... with his beta by his left hand side...and a few elders.

"Alpha King, William Dex is here!" The guard reports.

The Alpha King waves the guard off... the guard rushes out as if his pants is on fire.

Willam quickly falls on his knees with his head still bowed.

"William Dex... Why are you just coming back?!" The Alpha King asked.

William didn't utter a word.. talking back at the an Alpha is a death wish.

"After the death of your parents, we were expecting you and your brother to come back to the pack!" The Alpha King paused.

The silence in the office is very thick.

"Why did you and your brother come back! Speak!"

"We're sorry, alpha King... We thought we could catch him..."

"Nonsense!" The Alpha King interrupts him. "I sent word to you, asking you to come back but you disobeyed me just because you thought you could catch him?"

William opens his mouth to speak but the alpha King shuts him up with a glare.

"Where's he now?!"

"He's in hiding, but...."

The door opens and a young boy enters the office... Everyone, except the alpha King.. stands up and bows.

"Your highness!" They chorused.

He arrogantly walked towards a similar chair with the alpha King's and sits... without acknowledging their greetings.

A deep frown on his face...like he was forced to attend this gathering.

The beta king signal them to sit down.

"Dad, who's this?" He asked.

"Alpha prince, he's from the royal spy's family!" The beta explained.

William gave him a respectful bow.

"Oh!" He exclaimed kinda disappointed.

The Alpha King clears his throat and all attention turns to him.

"William, I'll pardon you for your parents' sake... Come to the pack meeting tomorrow, you have a lot to catch up with!"

"Yes, alpha King!" William replies.

"You're dismissed!"

William didn't get up.. this made everyone frown.

"Do you want to be punished for failing in your duty instead?" An elder asked.

William shakes his head.

"I have a request" he said.

"Speak!" The beta said.

"I have a sister but she ain't wolf"

There was silence... everyone is waiting for him to complete his statement.

"She's human!"

This statement caused an uproar as everyone is murmuring. The beta hits the table for orderliness... everyone quiets down.

"What do you mean she's human?" The Alpha King asked.

"I don't know how to explain it..but she didn't inherit our gene"

*How is that possible?!*

*Both parents were wolves!*

*This is unacceptable!*

*She must leave!*

The elders murmur.

"It is against our law to let any human in our pack! You know that!" The Alpha King said.

William nods.

"I know, alpha King...but this is the only place she can be safe!"

"No! She has only two choices now...either she leaves or we kill her!"

William's eyes grew bigger and he shakes his head.

"No...she can't die..."

"Then she leaves!"

*Yes!*

*She can't stay!*

*She'll expose us!*

William stares at the elders as they all agree with the alpha King.

Right then a thought comes to his mind.

"Alpha, she's one of us... maybe she's a late bloomer, she might transform if she meets her mate" William said.

Everyone quiets down and thinks about what he said...the young alpha prince shakes his head.

"She must leave! Humans and wolves don't mix!" He said.

"But...."

"Alpha prince is right!" An elder cuts William off as he tries to speak. "Allowing a human in our pack will be our downfall"

William sighed in frustration...the reason he moved back was to protect his sister...now instead of protecting her, they want to kill her?

"Alpha King...just give us one week...only one week...if she doesn't find her mate here... we'll leave..."

"No!" The Alpha prince stands up. "She....."

"Xander!" The alpha King cuts his son off. "Their family is the royal spy..we should listen to him"

"What?! Dad, we're supposed to kill her! Have you forgotten that the hunters killing our kind are humans?!"

"Alpha prince, Alexa is not a hunter...she knows nothing about wolves...she won't cause any harm..."

"That's bullshit! She must leave or she must die...."

"Xander! That's enough sit down!" The alpha King's voice boomed.

The alpha prince grumpily sits back on his chair. Alpha King turns to the elders...and cleared his throat.

"The Dex family are always out there risking their lives for our pack's safety.... this is the least we can do for them in return!"

"So we're letting her stay?" An elder asked.

"Yes! But for just one week! If she doesn't find her mate, she'll leave!" Alpha King said in a firm voice... giving no room for arguments.

Even alpha prince (Xander) dares not argue.

"This is why I don't like coming here! I always end up getting angry!" Alpha prince grumbles and got up and marched towards the door.

But not before stopping at William's side and said through grit teeth.

"I shouldn't see her! Or I'll kill her!"

He steps out and slams the door shut... William bows.

"Thanks Alpha King"

"Just one week!" Alpha King said.

William nods quickly...a small smile on his lips.

"You're dismissed!"

William gets up and rushed out.

*

Alexa's pov

*...can I have your number?*

I shake my head and rolled my eyes as I watch Micah flirting with the cashier.

We're done shopping and I'm waiting for him by the exit to pay the bills...but that gross boy is busy flirting with the cashier instead.

Though I believe she'll give us discount now... because Micah told her she's pretty.

Suddenly, someone bumps into me and the bags I was holding falls down...I almost lost my balance too.

"Can't you watch where you going?!" I heard a female voice growl at me.

I frown and raised my head to give her my comeback.

"You're not only blind but dumb too! You obviously bumped into me!" I retort.

She glares at me one more time and sniff the air...like a dog!

Her glare intensified..she pushes me out of her way.

"Filthy human!" She growls and storms out.

What's her problem?!

I shake my head...I guess she woke up at the wrong side of the bed. I bent down to pick up my bags.

"I'm sorry about my sister's behavior!" I heard another female voice say.

I quickly stand up...a smile on her face.

"My sister was rude, sorry about that" she said again.

"It's nothing!" I said and turn to leave but she holds me back.

"I guess you're new in town"

I nod and turn to leave again, but she holds me back again and didn't bother to let go of me.

"I'm Joyce and I'm from this pack...which pack are you from?"

I frown...

"Pack?"

She nods, still smiling.

"What's a pack?" I asked again.

Her smiles falters and she sniffed the air... what's up with everyone sniffing the air like a dog?

I sniff the air too but didn't perceive anything off.

"You're human!" She exclaimed happily.

"Yeah.. you're human too" I said.

She suddenly engulfed me in a tight hug.

"You're human! I can't believe I met a human!"

Ok...this is weird. What does she mean? Everyone on earth is human... right?

Just then Micah comes and clears his throat...he reaches out his hand for a handshake.

"Hi, I'm Micah..her big bro"

Joyce quickly takes his hand....then he looks at Joyce the same way he and Will did this morning.

And I noticed realization dawned on Joyce....like she just understand something.

"No wonder she's clueless!" She said.

Clueless about what? This place is really weird!

"So... what's your name? Are you coming to school tomorrow? Can I be your friend?"

"I... er....yes, I'm coming to school tomorrow but she might not be schoolmates"

"There's only one school here... everyone in our pa...."

Micah clears his throat and Joyce chuckled.

"Everyone in our town goes there"

I nod.

"Then, I'll see you at school tomorrow"

"I guess..."

She laughs lightly and hugs me briefly.

"I'll see you tomorrow...gotta run before my sister kills me!" With that she runs out.

I released a long breath...this is the longest I've spoke with someone.

"I see you just made your first friend!" Micah teased me.

He knew I was frustrated and tired of her...speech?

"Did you get her number?" I asked referring to the cashier.

"Of course! I'm gonna get laid tonight..."

I cough to cut him off.

"Gross!"

"What's gross about it..."

"Don't bring home!" I warned him in advance.

"Whatever!"

I dumped the bags in his hands.

"What?!"

"Let's go home!" I said and rushed out before he can hand them back to me.

Alexa's pov

"Darling! We are home!" Micah yells as we step in the living room.

Immediately, Will walks out from the kitchen with a sandwich in his right hand.

My stomach growls at the sight of the sandwich... Micah and I reach for it at once... I turned to him with a glare.

He ignores me and faces Will.

"You know me too well, darling!" He gasp dramatically and falls on Will's shoulder.

I shudder and gave him a disgusting look... Watching him tryna act cute wanna make me puke!

"At this point in time.. only your sandwich can save me" he said.

He reaches out his hand.

"Here.. sandwich, come to papa!"

Will pushes him away and dust his shoulder.. then he turns to me with a smile.

"For you, Alexa" he turns to Micah. "Go into the kitchen yourself if you want one!"

"Thanks, Will" he nods and raffles my hair.

Micah stares at us with his mouth wide open... I guess he's looking for the right words to say.

He nods and pretends to be hurt.. he clenched his jaw and blinked his eyes like he's trying to blink some tears away.

"Now I understand... Will just confirmed my doubts!" He slumps on a sofa.

Will and I lean on each other waiting for Micah's drama... episode 1 of Micah's show today.

"I have always knew it! Now it's confirmed... I was adopted... Mom and dad picked me up from a dumpster...!" He begin to wipe off his imaginary tears and shakes his head.

Will sighed deeply and thinks for a minute or two.

"Alexa, how about we sell him off to those slave traders?"

I nod thoughtfully.

"Yes! We'll make a great deal of money!" I supported Will's notion.

Micah cries loudly... overdramatically.

"They don't love me! They don't want me!"

Will and I burst into laughter... I cut a tiny piece of the sandwich and puts it in his mouth and he stops his dramatic cry.

"Micah, you're a clown!" I told him.

Honestly speaking, my brothers have a very large appetite.

They can eat a whole cow and five minutes later, they'll be asking for more.... they eat like hungry wolves!

"Alright, Alexa, go to your room and unpack.. and get your stuff ready for school tomorrow!" Will tells me.

I nod and rushed towards my room.

Knowing I'm resuming school tomorrow makes me kinda happy...

Writer's pov

Will watch Alexa enter her room and make sure she's out of hearing.. then he turns to Micah.

"The Alpha King wants Alexa to leave the pack!"

"What?!" Micah exclaims.

Will glares at him and look towards Alexa's room.. the door is shut.

"Bring your voice down!" He scolds Micah.

Micah clears his throat and speak in a soft voice this time.

"So... you mean we're gonna move again? What are we gonna tell Alexa this time?"

"We're not moving... at least not now"

Micah frowns.

"What do you mean?"

"We're not fully sure yet if Alexa is truly not a wolf... so, alpha King gave us one week.. if Alexa can find her mate maybe there's a possibility that she'll transform!" Will explained.

Micah stares at Will blankly for a few minutes... then looked towards Alexa's room with a clenched jaw.

"One week? How can she find her mate in one week?" He paused. "What if she doesn't have mate?"

"I don't know.. but it's the only choice we have"

"No, it's not the only choice... Let's leave, let's get Alexa out of here!"

Will sighs and sits down on a chair.

"We can't!"

"Why?"

"This is the only place she can be safe.. this is the safest place for her"

"But.... "

"Don't worry... I'm sure she'll find her mate. If she doesn't find her mate, we'll leave right away!"

Woods....!

A mighty wolf runs in great speed... as if it's trying to outrun a grievance... It runs for a few more minutes and finally stops at a lake.

Another wolf also stops by its side.

They walks behind a tree... bones cracking sounds are heard... flaws transforms into fingers... and soon two young handsome boys walks out.

Wearing basketball trucks.

They sat on a rock near the lake.

"Ok..." Coughs "Alpha prince..." Coughs again "do you mind telling me why we came here?"

There's silence as the Alpha prince didn't reply and shows no sign of replying.

"The meeting.. how did it go?" He asked again.

The Alpha prince stays silent for a moment.

"There's a human in town!" He grits out... hatred dripping off his words.

"Human?"

He nods.

"What did the Alpha King say?"

"She's staying!"

"Staying?! She should be killed or sent away!!"

The Alpha prince clenched his jaw and closed his eyes.

"Xander, let's find the human and kill him or her!"

Xander (alpha prince) still have his eyes closed... He's fighting with his wolf as his wolf wants to be let out.. he can feel that his wolf is happy but he doesn't know why.

"..... Xander, are you listening?"

Xander snaps his eyes open and turn to the boy... He sighed as he sees xander's eyes change colors.. his wolf's yellow eyes is on right now.

"Are you ok?"

"I don't know, Connor... My wolf is suddenly acting up!"

Connor (his beta prince, childhood and best friend) stares at him for a few minutes... studying his wolf's eyes.

"Hmm.. could it be he wants to come out for a run?"

"We just finished a race!" Xander growls.

He closes his eyes for a brief moment and opens them again.. they're back to normal.

"I don't know what's wrong.. my wolf has never fought with me to take control" Xander wonders.

Connor smirks as an thought pop in his head.

"Who knows..Maybe the moon goddess has finally showed you mercy and our future luna queen is near by... "

Xander smacks the back of Connor's head.

"Ouch!"

"I don't have a mate, if I have one I'd have met her already!"

Connor groans and shrug.

"Who knows, she might be from another pack"

Xander sneers at him and he laughs nervously.. then his body suddenly went rigid.. his eyes glazed.

It stays that way for a few minutes before he blinks and faces Xander.

"Xander, alpha King just mind-link me.. he wants you to come back now"

Xander frown wondering why his father didn't mind-link him instead... then he remembers that he blocked his mind-link.

"Did he say why he wants me back?"

"No"

Xander takes a deep breath and gets up.

"Let's go!"

Alpha King's mansion....!

Alpha King sits on a sofa... Luna queen sits next to him, peeling an orange.

The door open and Xander walks in... He slumps on a sofa.

"Xander.. you're here!" His mother exclaims happily.

He smiles briefly at her and turn to his father.

"You sent for me?" He asked coldly... or rudely, that should be the right word.

His father ignored his tone and speaks.

"Yes! I have something very important to tell you"

"Then say it!"

The Luna queen picks an orange and throws it at him.. she passed him a warning glare.

"That's no way to talk to your father, young prince!" She scolds him.

Xander grunts and adjust on his seat.

"Then tell him to cut to the chase!"

She glares at him one more time before speaking.

"Xander, you're 19years old already and you know you're not getting any younger... "

Xander rolls his eyes and throws his head back on the sofa.

*Of course I know that... that's our everyday campaign!* He thought.

".... You still haven't seen your mate. So.... "

She hesitate and looks at her husband for support.. he clears his throat.

"We have decided to send you back to high school"

This statement settled in his head and he quickly sit upright with a deep frown on.

"High school?!" He asked.

"Yes, maybe you might find your mate there!"

Xander scoffs angrily.

"Every teenager attending crescent high is from this pack... I don't need to go to school to find my mate!"

His father shakes his head.

"No! You're going back to high school"

"I'm not!"

His father glares at him harshly.

"I dare you to say that again!"

"I said I'm not! I've graduated high school two years ago!"

His father growls lowly... His mother quickly drops the orange she was holding and rubs his father's back to calm him down.

"Xander, stop talking to your father in that manner!" She scolds him.

"Then tell your husband I'm not going back to high school"

"But Xander.. this is the only way we can think of.. your dad will retire soon and you'll become the new alpha King.. your coronation can't happen without your mate!"

"No! I'm not going!" With that he stands up and leaves the living room.

He head for the door and shuts it in a very loud bang after stepping out.

"You.. did.. how rude is that son of yours!"

"Calm down.. he'll come along!" Luna queen calms him down.

Xander stands in the middle of the training field... He cracks his fingers and brings out his claws.

He turns to his fighters.. scanning them.. looking for who's strong enough to fight with him.

"You!" He points at a guy.

Though the guy is taller than Xander.. he's standing at 6ft7.. but the moment Xander points at him... his legs starts shaking and fear appears in his eyes.

"M-me..?" He stutters.

"Yes, you! Come here!"

The guy look around, begging his teammates to join him but they all look away.

They can feel xander's anger... And fighting with an angry alpha is officially signing your death certificate.

"I said come here!" Xander growls.

The guy takes slow steps backwards.. and soon he's running away as if his life depended on it.

Xander look around looking for someone else to spar with.. but just like the first guy, they all ran away.

Xander almost chase after them but Connor, Dylan and Tyler held him back.

He struggles to set himself free but they tried their very best to hold him down.

"I just wanna train!" He growls in his alpha's tone... (Commanding tone)

They quickly bows their heads, but didn't let him go.

"Prince, how about you calm down first" Dylan suggest.

"I'm calm!"

He pushes them off him and marches towards a bench.. he sits on and balled his fist.. grinding his teeth against each other.

Dylan, Tyler and Connor looked at each other.. silently fighting about who will speak first.

"Xander.. what happened? What did the Alpha say?" Dylan asked.

"He FUCKING wants me back in highschool" Xander answers immediately.

They quickly sits next to him.

"What?! Why?!" Connor asked.

"They want me to find my bloody mate there!"

"But you're done with highschool" Tyler said in his quiet voice.

"So.. what do you wanna do now?" Connor asked.

Xander stays silent.. he knows even if he doesn't wanna go back to highschool.. his dad will force him.

His dad will use the alpha tone on and no one can disobey the alpha's tone...not even him..the alpha prince.

"I don't know!"

There's another brief silence. Connor breaks the silence with a clap.

"Don't worry, Xander.. highschool is fun.. I'll go back with you!"

Dylan and Tyler nods too.

"Yeah.. we'll also go back with you.. besides we can choice any class we want"

Xander takes a deep breath and exhale slowly... His fist remain clenched.

He gets up.

"I need a cold bath... let's race later!" Then he rushed off.

Alexa's pov

I fall on my bed and released a long sigh... I'm finally done unpacking!

I reach for my phone and check the time... It's already 6:59pm. I didn't know unpacking and arranging my stuff will take so much time.

*What a tiring day!* I groan mentally.

I got up and my eyes met the plate of omelet on the table... Will had no choice but to bring it to my room.

Cause I was too busy unpacking.. when he called me to come have dinner I didn't listen... Hence, he brought it to my room instead.

I take a few bites and head to the bathroom... I'm tired and I need a bath.. and a long sleep.

*****

I didn't spend too much time in the bathroom..I changed into my barbie pj's and climb onto my bed.

Tomorrow is school...I wonder how my new classmates will treat me...not that I wanna make any friends..but at least nobody should stir up unnecessary troubles for me.

I sighed.... I just pray I get a good night sleep and don't have any nightmares!
