THE ALPHA’S ADDICTION

Maya smiled as Emma mentioned her birth month; it seemed there would be lot of celebrations this season. She thought. Clem and his twin tomorrow, her brother, the next two days, then her cousin. Funny how they were born days apart, each one of them.

Remembering her brother’s birthday, got her having mixed feelings. On one hand, she is happy that little Jeremy was adding one year, and on the other hand, she would have to be there for his big day, since he was turning 18, which meant that she would see her mate, Leo.

“Can’t wait.” She heard Sia, her wolf say.

She shook her head negatively. She didn’t think it would end well. She didn’t think that the evil effects of the panjyo potion have been wiped out yet. She didn’t think that her mate would be able to recognize her still. Rather, what filled her thoughts at the moment was the fact that her ex best friend, Zoe, would be having a good time with her own mate. She wondered if Zoe had found her mate. She wished that the girl would. Perhaps if she had, she wouldn’t look at Leo, her mate.

“Let’s hope still.” Sia said, and Maya just nodded. In two days time, she would get her answer. She already felt nervous and uncomfortable.

“October born eh..” Shane said, causing Maya to break off from her thoughts.

“Yeah.” Emma replied.

“Not bad.” He stated.

“Emma, would you celebrate it?” Little Eva asked, her eyes brimming with excitement, already calculating the number of cookies and the amount of cake she would eat. She hoped Emma would celebrate it at their house.

“Maybe.” Emma replied, not really sure. At Florida, she would have celebrated it surely. Her sister, Amelia, would take over the preparations. Last year on her birthday, her sister had taken her for a skydive, after escaping from the throng of her friends which had come to wish her well, or well perhaps, compare their houses and jewelries to hers. The skydive had thrilled her up then, but it hadn’t ended well enough. She had encountered a crazed woman, who foiled her happiness. She still remembered the mysterious event.

It had been some minutes pass two pm, and she had been entertaining her friends in her sitting room with the pastries that her mother had ordered to celebrate her day, when she had gotten a text from her sister.

“Come out to the park.” It had read. Quite short for a text of her sister’s, but she had honoured it, and excused herself from her friends, while telling one of the house helps to see to the needs of them, that she would be back soon. Well, she had thought that she would be, perhaps in the next twenty to thirty minutes, with the thought that her sister had only wanted to give a birthday present.

She had gotten to the park, which was still brimming with people; parents with their children, then couples. Scanning the park tro and fro, she had seen Maya waiting at a bus stand, and with the way her eyes were moving across the park, she had known that her sister was also waiting and searching out for her; since she had earlier texted that she was at the pack, about five minutes ago.

She had walked up to her sister from behind, before covering her eyes with her two hands.

“Emma..” Her sister had said, chuckling and laughing, while touching her hands tentatively, trying to remove it.

She had laughed too, crossing her arms by her sister’s neck, before asking why she had wanted to see her here, instead of at home; and that afterall, they had been together since morning, before she herself, had left the house to God knows where.

And Amelia had taken her hands in hers, before dragging her into a car which she had later found out had been waiting for some time. It had been a hired car.

She had questioned her sister for more than an hour, on where they had been going to, but her sister had been mute, making silly jokes that weren’t even in tune with her questions.

When the car had finally come to a stop at a skiing resort, she had screamed, why hugging her sister intermittently.

Her sister had taken one of the things in her bucket list up, and fufilled it. Skydiving.

It had gone well. She had joined four others in the dive. It was fearful at first, but exhilarating. She had gone after to see her sister who had refused to join them, since she was scared of heights.

But as her sister had excused herself to go to the restroom, a woman, perhaps in her mid fifties, dressed in a long black gown, came up to her, and screamed.

“You’re here. The girl is alive. The realms would be saved. Come with me!” The woman had said, before suddenly grabbing her hand forcefully trying to drag her to God knows where.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

She had tried to reason out with the woman whom she thought must be a psycho, or who must have mistaken her for someone else, but to no avail. The woman kept shouting, and the luck she had experienced was that not much people were in the lobby. The few had just stared on, not understanding what was happening, and not making an attempt to aid her.

She had in a fit of anger and embarrassment, snatched her hand away from the aged woman, who had staggered a bit, but did not fall.

“You will die, if you don’t follow me now!!” The woman had shouted, trying to hold her hands again, but she had swatted her hands, before turning away and running off from the crazed woman. She had told Amelia who had laughed it off, citing that perhaps the woman had a mental disorder of some sorts.

“We will celebrate it.”

Derek’s voice interrupted her thoughts. She had zoned out again.

“What were you thinking about baby?” Derek asked, taking his eyes off from the road for a second.

” Birthdays.” She replied, putting up a smile.
