Dex's apartment...! 7pm....!
I burp and wipe my mouth.. I drop the spoon in the plates and face Micah with a smile.
"Thanks, Micah!"
He quickly puts his finger on his lips, signalling me to shut up.
"Shut up, Will can hear you in his room!" He mouths.
I nod and mouths him a thank you. He sighed and pats my hair gently.. he smiled.
"It's fine.. don't be mad at Will for being strict with you.. you're our only sister and we don't wanna lose.. we wanna protect you and hearing you called us monsters doesn't seem right"
"Yeah, I was wrong and I'm sorry, I shouldn't have reacted that way!"
He nods.
"Alright, princess, go to bed early.. you have school tomorrow!" He leans forward and kisses my forehead.
He got up and head to the door, he opens and instead of going out, I see him taking steps back.
I frown and tilt my head, a gasp left my mouth when I see Will standing outside my door... we're caught!
"Wi-Will, what a coincidence!" Micah stutter.
Will stared at the plate in his hands and smirks.
"A coincidence indeed!"
Micah looks around my room and frown deeply.
"Wait... this is Alexa's room, what am I doing here? How did I get here?"
Will fold his arms on his chest and watch Micah... Micah smacked his head lightly.
"Aish! I must be sleepwalking again!" He exclaimed.
I stared at him wide eye... sleepwalking?! When did he start sleepwalking?!
He's selling us out, Will is not a fool.. he won't fall for such lie.
"I should sleepwalk back to my room!" Micah said.
Will shakes his head and smacks Micah's head.
"Sleepwalker wake up! You think you can fool me, silly boy!"
"It's true, I'm sleepwalking...."
Will shuts him up with a glare.
"You sleepwalk into the kitchen and heat up the food and brought it to her?"
Micah closes his eyes briefly and stands in front of me... he turns to me slightly.
"Don't be scared, honey, I'll protect you!" Then he turns to Will. "It's my fault this time, you can beat me, scold me.. do whatever you want with me, but leave out of this.. she's innocent!"
I narrow my eyes.. is Micah on a roll play right now? He sound so dramatic!
"And what made you think I'm here to scold her? You're making me feel like the bad guy here!"
Will pushes Micah and squat to my level.. I'm sitting on my bed.
"I intended to bring that food to you but someone beat me to it to take credit for something he didn't sweat for!" He glares at Micah.
I see Micah rolls his eyes and slumps onto the couch in my room.
"You sounded like you really want to starve her!"
"I'd never do that to her... "
"Huh? But you always do it to me! Everytime you tell me to reflect on my behavior.. I always end up going to bed without food!" Micah complain.
"She's a girl, silly, I won't bully a girl and my sister at that!"
Micah keeps his lips on a thin line. "You're being partial"
Will turns back to me.. he smiled.
"Sorry for being a bit harsh, I was angry, I promise I won't be that harsh on you next time!"
"No, I was wrong.. I'm sorry I shouldn't have reacted that way!"
He shakes his head and lean forward, he kiss my forehead and smile at me.
"It's past, good night, sleep early and don't be late for school tomorrow!"
I nod. He got up and pulled Micah up with him, they walked out and shuts the door gently.

Alpha King's mansion....! 8:50pm...!
There's total silence as everyone is focused on their food.. except Xander... He stabs on his meat and stared at his mother.
He seems to be waiting for her to say something... but she ain't paying attention to him.
Jenna noticed this and clears her throat.
"Mom, how did it went?" She asked.
The queen stops eating and faced her.
"How did what went?"
"Your talk with Alexa" Jenna clarified.
"Oh!" The queen reaches for a glass of water and takes a sip. "She said she'll talk to Xander tomorrow!"
Xander's hands stops moving, he drops his fork and leans forward.
"Really?!"
"Yes!" The queen replied.
He shake his head like he doesn't believe what the queen said.
"Are you sure she said she'll talk to me?"
"Yes"
"How did she say it?"
The queen shuts her eyes briefly.
"Boy! She said she'll talk to you, stop bothering me..I'm trying to eat here!"
He smiled and released a long sigh.. he felt so relieved, like a heavy load has lifted off his shoulders.
"Finally!" He mutters.
He felt Liam jumping and wagging his tail happily in his head.
*I know she won't be able to resist this handsome face!* Liam said in Xander's head.
Xander scoffed mentally.
*As if you weren't the one that scared her in the first place!*
*Scared her? I was protecting her!*
*I could do that too!*
Liam scoffs.
*I bet you would do a good job!*
*Shut up!*
*I bet she'll love me more than you!*
*You wish!* Xander said and shuts him off.
He saw everyone staring at him when he snaps back to reality.. he clears his throat and gets up.
"I'll be going to bed, I wanna wake up early tomorrow morning!"
"Why? You always go to school late!" Jenna said with a frown.
"I'm picking my mate up!" Xander said and runs off to his room before they'll attack him with questions.
The king shakes his head and sighed.
"Now he forgets his stomach for his mate!"
The queen and Jenna chuckles lightly.
"You were worse than him" the queen said.
"No I wasn't!"
"You were!"
"I wasn't!"
"You were!"
"I wasn't!"
Jenna groan, she gets up and head to her room too, she knows they aren't gonna stop that argument soon.... So she let them be.

The next morning...! 7:57am..!
"Will, I'm full" I whined.
Will looks at my plate and frown slightly, he turns to Micah who's so focused on his steak.
He taps the table and gets Micah's attention.
"What?" Micah asked with his mouth full.
"Tell your sister to finish her food or she ain't gonna go to school today!"
Micah looks at my plate, then looks at me.. I gave him a cute puppy eyes and pout my lips.. making sure they quiver slightly.
"Will, I think she's had enough!" Micah said.
Will turns to him with a glare.
"I don't understand why she's got so little appetite!"
"She's still human, just let her go to school first, ok?"
Will look between Micah and I... He stabs the steak on my plate and puts it in his mouth.
"Go now, before I change my mind and make you finish everything here!"
I bolted up and grab my bag and rushed to the door... Then I remembered Micah's gonna drop me off.
"Micah, aren't you gonna drop me off?"
"Oh, your mate is picking you up!" He replied.
I frown.
"Xander?"
"Bingo!"
Just then I heard a horn, I opened the door and step out... Xander sits on his motorcycle.. I take my time to check him out.
He wore a black leather jacket and a black ripped off jeans.. his hair falls perfectly on his shoulders.. which gives him that bad boy's vibe.
He wore a small earring on his right ear... A tattoo showing on his neck.. I smiled to myself.
Why do I suddenly finds him attractive? Why do I suddenly feel like he's more handsome than before?
"H-hi.. g-good morning!" He stutters and smiled nervously.
I blinked, when did I get here? I guess I was so enchanted by him that I didn't notice when I got here!
"... I know you don't like motorcycles but..."
"It's fine!" I cut him off and takes the helmet from him.
I wore it and just when I wanna get on his motorcycle, I heard Brett call my name.
He stops his motorcycle next to me and I'm standing in the middle of two motorcycles.
"Good morning, love!" He greets me and I hear Xander growling warningly.
"Good morning, Brett!" I replied.
"How was your night?" He asked.
"Fine!"
He tilts his head and looked at Xander.
"I thought I'd ride you to school" he said.
"Have you forgotten? I told you not to bother!"
"Yeah, and you said your brother will ride you... " He glares at Xander. "But he's not your brother!"
I turned to Xander, his glare at Brett could send Brett to his early grave... I turned back to Brett.
"He's my friend, my brother is busy so he's dropping me off instead"
I got on Xander's motorcycle and hold onto him.
"Let's go!" I told him.
He turns to Brett and stares at him a few minutes.. I feel like he's glaring at Brett or smirking at him.
He turns on the engine and drives off.

We arrived at school in no time, we met Joyce and the others by my locker.. Joyce jumps into my arms and hugs me briefly.
"You're finally ok! I thought it'd take longer than this!" She said.
I nod... well, had the queen not talked me through it, I'd still be avoiding them.
"We're already late, let's go to class!" She said and links our arms.
"Sorry, joyce, I have music class this morning!"
She quickly unlinks our arms and huffed.
"I'm gonna be so bored today!" She complains.
Connor pull him against himself and wraps his arm around her waist.
"You won't be bored, I'll accompany you!" He told her.
Dylan and Tyler exchange looks and shakes their heads... I smiled, they look so cute together.
Xander clears his throat and stares at me.
"Let's go to class, Cam is already in class!" He said.
I nod and smile at them.
"We'll see you guys after class!" They nod and we walk towards our class.
While walking through the hallways, our fingers touched slightly and I gasp quietly.
I felt like his touch electrified me.. sparks runs through my hand.
Why am I feeling this sparks now? I didn't feel any of these before?
"So... I'm sorry I scared you the other day!" He said.. a hint of nervousness in his tone.
"You don't have to be sorry, I was just confused about everything!"
Then there's a brief silence.
"Er... so, I'm your mate?" I asked.
He nods.
"Like you're gonna spend your entire life with me?"
"Yes!" He answered firmly.
I raised my head and stared at him, I found him already staring at me... I stared in his eyes to check if I'll see any trace of lie.. but he's so sincere.
"What if you get tired of me someday?"
He shakes his head.
"I'll never get tired of you! You're mine to love and cherish forever!"
I blush.. wait, why am I blushing?
"I have a lot of questions to ask you later!" I said.
"I'll answer all" he replied.
We arrived outside our class, he opens the door gestures me to go in.. I step in and he follows suit.
"Hey! Who's just coming into my...." Mr Cam trails off when he turns away from the board and realizes it's Xander and I.
He adjust his eyeglass and chuckles nervously.
"Alpha, Luna, I didn't know it's you.. please come in!" He said.
Xander grabs my hand and leads me to an empty desk.. but I quickly withdrew my hand...the sparks are too much for me to handle.
Xander and I sits down.. just then I saw Brett walk in, be walks straight to Mr Cam and exchange some words with him.
Mr Cam turned back to the class and smiles.
"Guys, today we have a new student.. Brett Rodriguez!"
Everyone claps but the guy next to me is glaring daggers at Brett.
"Brett signed up for the singing competition but since everyone has got their partners... He'll have to partner up with Janet!" He said.
I turned to Janet, she's looking between Xander and Brett... I guess she's wondering why they keep glaring at each other.
"Brett, go to the empty desk beside Janet!"
Brett nod and walked towards Janet.. there's this kind of aura that followed Brett in.. and I guess everyone felt it too.
The class begins with everyone paying close attention to Mr Cam.
★★★★
Soon class is over and everyone rushed out of the class, some rushing to the cafeteria.. others rushing to their next class.
I sighed, I have PE next and it's what I hate most!
"Alexa, let's go to our next class!" Xander said.
"You have PE too?"
"Yeah!" He replied.
I packed my books and arrange them back in my bag, Xander carried it from me and got up... I got up too and we head towards the door.
Just then someone bumps into me from behind and I almost lost my balance.. but Xander's grip on me saved me.
"Oops! Sorry, I'm a bit clumsy today!" Janet said.
Xander growls and raised his hand to hit her but I catches his hand before it could land.
"Didn't your mama teach you not to hit a lady?" I asked him.
He stares at me for a few minutes and growls but put down his hand... I turned to Janet.
"Don't wait for me to say sorry, I won't!" She said and flips her hair and walked away.
"Alexa, you're the future Luna queen, you shouldn't let Janet speak to you in that manner!" Xander said.
"Don't worry, I don't wanna fight with anyone"
"You're not fighting with her, you're her superior and she needs to know that!"
I simply smile.
"Right!" I don't wanna argue with him.
At that moment, my stomach growls silently, but Xander heard it.
"Let's skip physical education and go to the cafeteria, what do you think?"
I nod.. I don't understand why I'm hungry now.
★★★★★
"Woah!" I exclaimed. "The cafeteria is crowded!" I whined.
I'm so damn hungry right now but unfortunately the cafeteria is crowded.. at this critical moment.
"I wonder when it's gonna get to our turn!" I grumbled.
"We don't need to be on the line, you can go straight to the front if you want!" Xander said.
"What about these students? Aren't they gonna get angry?"
"No! You're their future Luna queen, they'll be delighted to help you!"
Oh! So he wants me to cut the line and let these students starve for my sake.
"Let's just wait here!" I told him.
"But you're hungry!"
"I can wait!"
"Are you sure?" He asked.
"I'm fine!" He nods.
Then I remembered I have some questions to ask him.. I can as well start asking now.
"Xander, how did you become a werewolf?" I asked the most stupidest question ever.
But I need to start from somewhere.
"I was born that way!" He replied.
"You were born that way? But why am I no.... " I was cut off as someone runs into me.
Because I wasn't paying attention, I lost my balance but Xander was very fast.
Before I could hit the ground, he catches me and flips us over... He falls this back and I fall on him.
I hear series of surprised gasps from other students.
He released a painful groan and I quickly got up, I pulled him up and turn around to find who was it that ran into me but I couldn't find the person.
Xander frowns deeply and released another painful groan.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to fall on you.. someone ran into me and...."
"Alpha?!" Joyce's loud gasp cut me off.
She rushed towards us and points at Xander's back... I frown and quickly turns him.
An even louder gasp left my mouth... My hand flies to my mouth.
Blood.. his t-shirt is stained with so much blood.. a plank plastered his back as blood drips off.
"X-xander...!" I couldn't speak.
How did he get hurt?
"Quick! Let's take him to infirmary!" I yelled at Joyce.
Xander suddenly falls down... I shake him gently but he's not moving... I stared at Joyce wide eyes.
"Is.. is he dead?"
