STAR'S POV
Alex……. no this is not Alex but a blond lady with the same emerald green eye color but this time, it was laced with black all around the Iris. The lady opened the door and came into the room. She was dressed in a leather jacket, a red top beneath ripped jeans, and boots. Her hair was wavy and stopped at her mid back, styled fashionably. She was a badass. When she turned to face me, I could see a mark on the left side of her neck. Two marks like she was beaten. I gasped and placed my left hand on my mouth. Holding the sheets close to my chest with my right hand I crawled so fast and close to the bed headboard, my back came in contact with it and it hurt.
"Hey, relax! I am not going to hurt you. " She said, coming closer to the bed with concern written all over her face.
Stuttering, I said, "are you a vampire? Will you bite and suck my blood. " Opening my eyes wide open, the culmination hit me "oh no, I am in a vampire cave."
"What, no….." the badass blond laughed at me so hard, her eyes were watery. "You are not in a vampire cave or any cave. Does this look like a cave to you?" giving me a querying look, I shook my head.
"Good, I am Tracy, but you can call me Tray. Do you recall what happened to you last night? Did you see anything ?" Badass blond asked while sitting on the bed by the other side.
I looked at her surprised. I closed my eyes, trying to recall what happened then I said, "Last night, I could recall going home through the woods and felt someone trailing me, falling on something , something…..fluffy…."
"And..?" Sounding so desperate as she pressed on.
"I saw…." Was about to tell her what I saw, that's the emerald green eyes laced with orange but we were intruded by a knock at the door.
"Come in." Tacy said with irritation, inclining her head backwards.
A cute blond came in with a black short gown sewed from neck to hem with white pockets at each side, her hair styled in a tight ponytail. She motioned Tacy to come over.
"Excuse me. " Tacy excused herself , stood up from the bed and went to the door where the maid was. The maid was whispering to Tacy, I could not hear anything but could see Tacy nodding her head up and down answering yes. When she was done, the maid left and Tacy returned to me.
Smiling down at me she said, "Your presence is requested by my boss down stairs. Am sure you are hungry ?"
As she mentioned hunger, my stomach grumbled loudly in response to her question .
"It seems I have my answer. " She said, laughing.
I felt so shy , heat creeped onto my face and I blush. Nodding my head as a second answer, I held my stomach saying, "Yes please, I am starving. "
"Get dressed fast . There is a walk in the closet by your right . Dress in either red or black." She pointed at the door to my right. I was wondering what was inside not long ago.
Placing both my hands on my thigh, I asked Tacy "Ok , black or red. But why black or red , can't I dress in another color?"
"That's his order, be quick, he doesn't like waiting." she motioned at me to get up and get dressed.
Plunging down from the bed, my feet came in contact with a cold tiled floor. Goosebumps could be clearly seen on my arms. I stood up, looking at myself, it was then I realized I was not in my Lacy top and mini skirt but a gray silk nightwear. What's it with silk, red, gray and black color?
"I will be back in twenty, make sure you are done and ready, Okay?" Tacy told me as she was on her way out of the room.
" Alright, I will . See you then." I waved at her.
Before she left, she turned to me and smiled, and asked, "Wait, you can see the marks on my neck?"
Surprised at her question, I answered "Yes, I can. Is it meant to be invisible?"
She just nodded her head on both sides and said "It's a tattoo, imprinted on me by my love."
"Awnnnn, that is so romantic." I squwed out.
She just smiled at me, then I heard a voice.. "You will soon be marked, be strong." Then she left the room. Shutting the door. I heard her descending down some set of stairs, her footsteps fading with each step.
I was left with my own thoughts in the middle of the room. "Did she just speak to me without moving her lips?" Asking myself, facing the mirror.
The walk in closet is magnificent. It had a large joint bathroom which consisted of a shower and a bathtub. There were different types of showered gel displayed on the counter, I was confused on which to use and they all looked expensive. Different sizes and brands of towels were hung close to the window. I finally made my choice and picked a white shower gel, smelling heavenly like roses mixed with vanilla. I closed my eyes, taking in the sweet scent.
When I was done showering, I took a middle sized towel and wrapped it around my waist. The towel reached below my knee due to my petite figure. I took the smallest one and wrapped it around my hair. Opening the wardrobe, my mouth was wide open. The gowns there were exquisite. The section by my right was filled with red gowns and the sections by my left were filled with black gowns. I reached for a short gown and saw a tag . The gown was worth ($200) two hundred dollars. My eyes were wide open, almost popping out from their sockets. That is like my yearly allowance. I rummaged through the cardboard. All the gowns looked so beautiful and expensive. Confused on what to wear, I stood still looking through the cardboard. Spotted a red long dinner gown with a long slit in the front.
What could support the piece from falling off one's body was a slim shiny material at the neck joint with the body of the piece. It was breathtaking. Ten minutes later I was fully and properly dressed. Facing the mirror and applying a red lipstick, I smiled at myself. I looked so beautiful, the red lipstick and red gown matched my white skin. My wavy hair was left falling freely, reaching my bum. I didn't worry about styling it. The red gown fits perfectly as if it was measured before it was being sewed . My breasts were full with my nipples showing perfectly underneath the material. Now I understood why Aunt Kate always insisted on my putting on a bra. I gasped, placing my hand on my chest.
"Aunt Kate" She will be worried . Tracy walked in talking to someone on the phone, she stopped and was just staring.
"I will call you back." Speaking to the person at the other end of the line and switching off her phone.
I could see appreciation in her eyes which later turned to sadness.
Moving towards her I asked, "What's wrong?"
She just nodded her head and said "Nothing, your beauty just took me by surprise. Hope you are done, he is waiting for you"
I nodded.
We reached the dinning. It was massive. A long polished table right in the middle of the dining room with just two chairs at the both ends of the table. "That's odd!" saying to myself, frowning a little.
"Why frown with a face as beautiful and peaceful as the moon." A deep voice echoed throughout the room . It was coming from behind. I turned to see who it was. Shocked, I stood there staring. He looked so much like Alex . A bit matured, very matured but same eyes, similar voice and same sleek black hair but his was cut by both sides giving him that bad boy's look.
Stepping backwards I asked "Who are you"
Scrutinizing me up and down he voiced, "Don't be scared. I'm a friend." he said this while walking towards me. He touched my hand, brought it to his lips and kissed it. After which he dragged me towards the table, he uttered, "You look ravishing by the way. Red suits you."
Replying to him I said "Thank you."
"I can't wait to mark and claim you before that bastard." I turned and stared at him.
Turning towards him and asking, "What did you say? "
He looked surprised and taken off guard "What, I didn't say anything. Did you hear something? "
Making a suggestion I said "No, maybe it's my imagination."
He nodded his head .
"Can she hear? It's a bit early for her." that same voice spoke again. Turning to my left and right, I was looking to see if there was someone else in the room except for the both of us.
He stopped moving. "Are you alright?" concern laced his voice.
"Yes, just hungry." I answered with my stomach following suit.
He laughed and said "oh my..., you're really hungry. Diner is served ."
For one excruciating moment, silence reigned deep within me left in my thoughts. Winter is fast approaching, so is the blood moon. My pack was all round the place, guarding it. Justin and Ethan at my both sides, Allison and Cain by the entrance and Styles at the rooftop, to notify us if any vehicle or person approaches. I can't go anywhere without them. My pack except school that is but anywhere that means real business, I go with them. We all have known each other since childhood, having each other's backs supporting each other. Separation seems like an impossible prediction.Looking at Stella or Kate or whatever she is being called was not helping at all. I was really getting pissed off just hearing her voice. Star has not been home for over 24hrs and here she is giving me excuses. I would have broken her nose by punching her so hard in the face,but I can't. She being mum's distant cous
When I walked into the sitting room, Aunt Kate was nowhere but it smelled like a wet dog. "What was here?."The kitchen was downstairs, at the extreme of the room. It was a joint kitchen with a dining room. I stepped into the kitchen and it was properly cleaned. Turning to walk out, I noticed two used tea cups at the counter. Saying to myself, "Aunt Kate had a visitor… but who may that be? She is rarely visited, I thought to myself with a frown on my face. Where could she be?" "Aunt Kate, Aunt Kate" Screaming on top of my voice. Where is she?"Finally you're home. I thought you lost your way home" Aunt Kate said, walking from the sitting room into the kitchen with a red hand towel.Rushing to hug her, she opened her arms, welcoming me.
STAR'S POVIt's prom night, fully dressed in my red shiny handless short gown with suede hand gloves to my elbows. My hair was in a stylish loose bun decorated with pearls matched with diamond necklace and earrings. I put on a black sandal heel . Applying my lipstick which is deep red in color, Aunt Kate stood behind me and watched in awe.I turned to look at her and she said "You look so much like your mum. Beautiful and smart. You are ready and who is your date?" Right after she asked this question, there came a suddenly knock at the door."Just guess. It's a surprise. " Giggling, I went to the door and opened it. My knight in shining armor stepped in with a bouquet of red roses in his left hand, dressed in a tailored dark tuxedo. His hair gelled back. He looks so handsome.
"Aunt Kate..., I don't understand what I saw and how is it possible that I could see that?" I said to her but she didn't move or blink but she was staring at me. How is that possible? I placed my right hand on her chest and could not find her heart beat. It was then it hit me. "She is dead". I felt the agonizing pain seeping through my veins and deep into my heart, shattering it into pieces with every passing second. I looked into her eyes and could see how lifless it was. She felt cold, really cold.Coming close to her face, I called out her name. "Aunt Kate.. Aunt Kate.""Star, she is gone." Alex spoke.At that moment it began to snow. The earth seems to be in accordance with the predicament that just happened. Rocking back and front, I screamed "NO
FINITIE'S POV"Were you able to get what I asked?" I glared at Red because I knew she was not able to get what I asked for and I want to know why."No boss, I was not able to get it." she said this while bowing down her head.Bowling my hands into fists on my table, I punched it with so much force, and a hole was formed in the middle of the table. I yelled "....and why was that? What stopped you from carrying out my orders?.......""......It was Alex. He was there……" she stated without blinking.I jabbed the table the second time and a crack sound could be heard. Looking straight at her, I said".
TRACY'S POVWiping my face, I stepped out of the shower with slow and steady steps. I saw my clothes on the tiled floor close to the bed just as I left it. I got dressed. Looking at the mirror, my reflection staring back at me, I looked so pale and empty. My eyes bloodshot from crying. Taking a deep breath, I tied my hair into a high ponytail and was about to leave the room but was stopped midway on my way out. The drawer closest to his bed was closed but the key was left hanging. My curiosity took over me and I moved slowly towards the drawer. With every step I took, I looked back at the door. When I was at the drawer, I knelt down in front of it and tried turning the key but it didn't budge. I tried again but it was fruitless. I removed the key and inserted it back. Turning it to the right and it clicked open, I smiled at myself. I opened the drawer and there was an envelope lying in the da
UNKNOWN POVThe night seemed cold and peaceful except for my troubled mind. Standing at my balcony with a glass of scotch in my left hand, I could smell numerous passers by walking on the pedestrian lane bumping into each other. Not caring who they come in contact with. I could see and hear vehicles honking which expresses the drivers impatience and arrogance. Looking up ,I noticed there were no stars visible in the sky and no moon. Just the thought of Star being with Alex pisses me off. Flashbacks of Alex kissing and hugging Star came through. Gripping the glass in my left hand with so much force, I broke it with my bare hands. I felt nothing, no pain, just the smell of iron . But I was bleeding, not much to take me to the emergency unit but enough to stain my floor. I didn't bother because I heal fast. Nothing is moving according to my plan. Nothing. I feel so frustrated.
STAR'S POVMy mouth was wide open. Responding to Alex ,I said "How is that even possible ? The blood moon, me, my heart. " I was so confused .Alex came close to me "Star, just listen to me. You are a hybrid. "Looking at Alex I had to scream "Like what the fuck is a hybrid? I am a hybrid human with a heart that is the key to a blood moon . How the hell is this making sense."Seriously what the heck. I am a hybrid. Nothing is making sense. I feel like my life just took a wrong turn into another dimension.Sitting down on the bed, I placed my head on both of my hands."Alex, who I'm
