ZACHARY'S P.O.V
I danced with Zes!
I remember the times when she asked me to dance with her cause she didn't like girls flirting with me, well, I didn't like to be around them. In all honesty, she had lectured me thousands of times, telling me to stop playing around.
Flashback
I don't know if you can say if I like parties or not. To a certain extent, I like parties, sometimes it's hella boring when old people come and converse with you cause they want to see if you are fit to be the future Alpha.
I stood in one corner of the ballroom with Fred and Accius. Fred, as usual, has his poker face on and doesn't give a shit about the girls flirting, but didn't want to be rude, so he replied to them, while Accius was trying his best to act nice to these fake barbies. To be honest, seeing their face makes me wanna puke, no offense, but face caked with makeup, slutty outfit... I kept ignoring them.
These Barbies are around us for our status and power ranking. As if the moon goddess had answered our prayers, Zes, Mae, and Carrie made their way to us.
"Excuse me, girls, but I am stealing my brother," Zes said with a fake smile.
"What did I say about flirting with girls?" She scowled once we were away from them.
"Hey! hey! It was a one-sided thing. They were flirting... I wasn't." I put my hands up in mock surrender.
If anyone other than Zes or my mom orders me around, I would snap at them.
I dug my hand into my pocket and brought out the wrapped gift I got for her. Seeing the gift in my hand, her eyes sparkled with excitement.
I hand her the gift like always, I gift her right on the time she was born. 4:49. Right after I handed the gift to her, I was informed there was a rogue attack. Handing her to my mom, I shift into my wolf and run to the boundaries.
Little did I know I wouldn't be seeing her again.
ZES'S P.O.V
I am staying in my pack for a while, like 1 day, I guess.
I entered my room and changed into comfy clothes. I smiled at the familiar surroundings of my room, but missed Wiskey terribly.
I plopped myself on my bed, making myself comfortable. One day without my phone won't be a problem.
My thoughts drifted to my brother. He was the most caring person I know; he was always there for me. We were both very close; all those memories I have with him make it harder for me to hate him. Deep inside, I hope none of this is my brother's fault, but I know he has something to do with this mess.
Something shiny caught my eye. It was a gift box! I looked at it in confusion, but then I remembered who gave it to me. Zach. He gave it on my 12th birthday, and I still haven't opened it. I couldn't bring myself to open it or throw it away. Bracing myself, I grab the gift box. Taking a big, shaky breath, I start unwrapping it.
Tears started forming in my eyes as I glanced at the gift box. There was a keychain and a card. I grabbed the key chain, and a sad smile crept on my face.
The key chain had these words on it, 'SISTER always REMEMBER you are BRAVER than you believe STRONGER than you seem SMARTER than you think & LOVED more than you know'
A lone tear fell as I read the key chain. I grabbed a chain from my table and connected it before wearing it. I may hate my brother, but I still love and miss him. I grabbed the letter with shaky hands and started reading it.
A Sister Like You
Someone who will understand,
Who knows the way I feel
In every situation
Her concern is very real
Someone who has walked my ways
Who knows my every need
Times when she would see me cry
Her heart would nearly bleed
Everyone should have a sister like you
Just the way I do
Richly blessed is what I am
To have a sister like you
Numerous fights, several arguments have only gotten us closer than detachments. Having someone as nice as you is close to impossible, I must tell you that too. Today, on your birthday, sending you warm wishes from a brother who loves you a lot more than you can think.
Happy birthday, Zes.
I steal and snatch things from you all year round. So your birthday is a great time to give you a gift and return the favor.
Happy birthday once again.
(BTW, sorry if the card is small, promise I will make a better card next year)
And I broke down. I cried, curling into a ball, clutching the card with me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sleepless nights, worn out tear glands, and cuddling with Wiskey, this is how the last two days went. I haven't talked to anyone, but I have cried my guts out. No one questioned why I was crying or why I was so distant from Knox or why I just wanted hugs and sleep. They seem to understand what happened. I couldn't bring myself to talk to anyone.
Zene has locked herself out. Tear glands gave up on me. My eyes hurt from crying and not being able to sleep. I haven't looked at the mirror for two days, I guess. I am a mess.
Flashback starts
I was going back to my home after my stay at my pack. I stayed so I could help, but I ended up sleeping for the rest of the day after crying...
I couldn't help but grin when I met Reece's and Charlotte's mate. Reece's mate's name is Silas. He was honestly a cute kid. His messy light brown hair complemented his ashy eyes. He seemed like an introvert. I feel a little bad for him. Reece is an extrovert. I was happy for Reece.
Charlotte's mate, I already knew him. He is from my pack. Danny, my gamma. His brown hair was outgrown and messy, but it looked cute on him. His huge, medium brown eyes with thick lashes made him look like an anime character.
"Why do guys have long eyelashes?" I wondered aloud, scanning the boys in the room.
They all chuckled.
"Where is my mate?" I asked them.
"Haven't seen him in a while," Reece muttered.
"Of course you haven't." James rolled his green eyes. I love his eyes... Ugh.
"In his room or yours," He added.
Nodding, I hop upstairs. I realized poor James hasn't found his mate yet. Poor him, he gotta the third wheel now. Should I play Cupid and match James and Raven? Nah... they have their own mate somewhere in this round world.
An unfamiliar scent filled my senses. I followed Knox's scent and found him in his room, sleeping. I smiled as I saw him cuddling a pillow. But my smile fell, and I noticed someone else's presence. I fell to the ground, shocked as I saw Brielle stir on the bed next to Knox.
"Knox," I whispered, my voice shaky.
He is a light sleeper; he stirred a bit and opened his eyes slowly before closing them again. He opened them, and a huge smile made its way to his face.
"Zes," He beamed.
He got up from the bed and walked towards me. He frowned at me.
"Why are you on the ground?"
I pushed him away when he came to help me up. I glared at him even though tears brimmed in my eyes.
"Why," I asked, my voice cracking
"What ?" He asked, confused.
Wiping the tears vigorously and standing up.
Closing my eyes. I ask him
"What is she doing here?" I ask as tears fall.
"What the fuck is she doing here?" He yelled.
"Oh come on, Knox, we have been caught, there is no use lying," Her screeching, annoying voice said.
I walked over to her, grabbing her by her neck and choking her. I slammed her against the wall.
"GET. OUT. OF. MY. HOUSE," I hissed at her.
She scurried out of the room.
"Zes, baby, believe I have no idea how she is here," He said.
"I do-" He started saying something, but I stopped him.
"I don't want to hear it, just leave me alone." With those words, I left his room.
I didn't want an explanation. I am scared that if he says anything, I will believe it...even if it was a lie...
I don't know if I made the right choice for not hearing him out...But I think for now it's for the best.
"Zes, hear me out," Knox yelled, knocking on the door.
Clutching my pillow closer to me, I cried.
"Zes, baby, please hear me out," He slammed on the door.
I open the door.
"I, Zes Xander, reject you, Knox Everett, as my mate, the King of werewolves and Alpha of Silver Moon Pack." As those words left my mouth, tears fell all over my face.
Knox looked shocked. To break a mate bond, he should accept it.
"I do not accept it," he replied blankly, emotionless. But his eyes held a lot of emotions
I couldn't do anything. I trusted him. I trusted him easily. I trusted him even after all I got from everyone whom I trusted was a betrayal. Why do I make the same mistake every time?
