Theme : unknown

Three months. I stayed in an unknown place getting trained by a shadow. It was funny at first but it did teach me a lot. I got free from Raquelia and the first person I went to see was Mindy to have her fill me in on everything I’ve missed. Her house was a little duplex near a wood. Her husband was a botanist so the living close to a forest was understandable

Pius, she loves living in a forest area. Said it’s fun or something like her

‘Good evening, how may I help you?’ She asked politely immediately age opened the door. I frowned. I know I avoided her but that doesn’t mean she should pretend not to know me

‘Mindy yo can’t be serious!’ I said with disbelief

‘How did you know my…why does your voice sound so much like…Arabel!’ She exclaimed. It was then I remembered that I changed completely. My hair was pale white and my skin snow white. My lips were dark light blue and my eyes icy blue

‘Did you undergo a surgery without my knowledge?’ She asked frowningly

‘No, being indoor changed me a lot’

‘It’s so easy to believe’ she scoffed. ‘Never knew you could go for artificial instead of natural, I’m really disappointed at you’ she said upsettingly. ‘You disappeared for months and come back looking like a white haired snow white, Ara what is your problem?!’

‘Am I fired?’ I asked humorously

‘I’m being serious here!!!’ She yelled angrily

‘I really didn’t undergo any surgery, I swear on my hair’

‘And your eyes? Don’t tell me it’s a contact lens because I know it’s not’

‘Okay, it’s not. Will you believe me if I say I tried a weird eye substance and viola! This happened, it’s permanent’ I lied. She shrugged

‘I know you are lying but I won’t argue with you. The whole world will know that you did a surgery’ she shrugged

‘But I didn’t!’

‘I believe you but they won’t’

‘Can you please let me in now? My legs hurt already and the sun is way too hot for my delicate skin’ I said tiredly. She opened the door wider and I walked in

‘You look neat dear’

‘Thanks’ I smiled. I walked into the living room, wooden to the core. She has a thing for wooden life. I inhaled and on the chair

‘Need something cold to drink?’ She asked calmly

‘Extra cold’ I said happily. She went and returned with a glass of juice. She gave it to me and sat down opposite me

‘Mind telling me why you stayed alone?’ She asked sipping from her own glass of wine.

‘Honestly I’m getting tired of the whole celebrity thing, I want to quit and have a normal life’ I said honestly. She smiled

‘It’s about time!’ She exclaimed. ‘I was waiting for you to say it for months now, since that accident. Ara, this star life is not for you’

‘I know that now’ I smiled

‘So I call it off for you?’ She asked lowly

‘I guess so’

‘It won’t be easy but I will do it. I better get my résumé ready. I’m jobless’ she said jokingly. I giggled and looked away. ‘And you? What will you do?’

‘I already have enough money to start up something but for myself and I’m thinking a school…DANCE SCHOOL, yes! That’s the one’ I said excitedly

‘Sounds good. Guess I’m still not jobless because you are too lazy to do anything on your own’

‘So not true! I just love it when you do it. Yours is always better’

‘I’m blushing. Now let’s prepare to announce your retirement, I will advice you go see your family… There have been very worried, it took a lot of me to convince them that you were on a vacation’

‘I did leave then all a message, don’t know why they would overreact’

‘Arabel they are your family’ she said rolling her eyes. I chuckled and nodded ‘let’s go see them together? I’m bored’

‘Where’s your husband?’

‘Travelled’ she said sadly. ‘He’ll be back soon, I hope’

I smiled. At least she is out of my hair for now.

#Cyrus ‘s POV

‘Alpha, the beta male and female of Jin Ju Pack are here to represent their pack’ Dandy, my beta said with a bow

‘I will be there in few minutes. Tell my mother or sister’ I said lowly

‘Yes Alpha’

‘What about the other packs? Did they honor my invitation?’ I asked staring at my dad’s photo on the wall. It was his memorial day, I always hold it every year to honor him even in death. He was a great Alpha

‘They are here as well’ I couldn’t see his face because my back was turned to him but I could feel his every move

‘Even the Alpha of Imperial Moon Pride and Night Waver Pack?’ I asked calmly

‘Imperial Moon rejected as usual but Night Waver sent his beta and his younger brother’ he said politely. I nodded

‘You are dismissed’

‘Okay Alpha’ he went out. I sighed. I loved and still love my father, I did everything the exact way he did his, ruled the exact way he did. I earned respect but I still didn’t feel fulfilled or complete.. The feeling of emptiness in my life was huge, like a wormhole

Maybe because I haven’t found my mate. Normally, my pack wolves all find their mates at seventeen to the least, twenty three but mine was different

I’m thirty four, it’s unusual but in my pack, we are respected by how fast we find our mates so imagine an Alpha not finding his. The only saving grace for me is that no one can say it to my face because I’m the second most feared Alpha

I better leave before mom comes over and pull me there by my ear. Really, she will. I walked out to the big ball room heaving with people, werewolves

‘You’re late’ mom said frowningly

‘Five minutes late’ my sister, Cyra said with an eye roll

‘Five minutes is very important’

‘So says the queen of punctual’ I murmured. Here it comes

‘Can you perceive your mate yet?’ She asked eagerly

‘Oh come on mom!’ Cyra exclaimed. She’s twenty three and already mated but recently. Mom gave her hell before she finally found hers so I was the only one left. She don’t get along well with mom, no one does! Sometime I wonder how dad coped with her

She’s so annoying and unavoidable!

‘Cyra have you seen Mindy?’ I asked ignoring her

‘Is Mindy your mate? She’s already happily married and you are here worrying about her’

‘Mom! I’m only worried about my best friend. Give me a break!’ I exclaimed dragging attention to myself

‘Your so called best friend abandoned our pack after she was married into another’ she said irritably. I sucked in air between my teeth and smiled. I can’t yell at her, she’s my mom

‘Mom for once in your life, learn to let us be’ Cyra whispered. She gasped and knocked her head

‘Don’t talk to your mother like that’ she snapped

Like I said, super annoying

‘Okay, I’m sorry’ she apologized rudely and stomped away. I sighed and walked out on her too

‘Hey! Both of you, don’t move!’ She shouted. We are in the middle of a memorial service! can’t she behave herself for nine seconds!

I need a break away from her before she drives me crazy…before I lose my sanity!

I’m going to see Mindy
