Alex's p.o.v
"Are you feeling better?"
She nods after waking up. She gets up and moves to the bathroom to freshen up. She takes a deep breath and doubles the dose of her suppressions; she knows the side effects of her actions. In fact, Nay and Miche always warn her every time she requests a refill.
"You should go pack your bags."
She walks out wearing a nude tank top with black baggy jean and white socks. Her skin glistens and she smells divine. She smells like shea butter and strawberries. Her hair falls on her back, and her eyes fell to his interest.
"Are you looking at my breast?" She looks down and he smiles sheepishly; he looks uncomfortable or aroused. "Get out."
Noah's presence is over whelming but nice but he is the type of person who would want to move fast and expect more in a relationship. Noah is overwhelming with his relentless interest even when he is shot down over and over again.
.
She hasn't seen Noah in almost two weeks. The first week was due to studying for his entrance test, he wants to go into computer engineering. And since his double majoring into IT he spent his week piled with a lot of work. Last week he was unavailable because he went back home, he was busy with schoolwork, the competition and whatever he projects his doing with Jayden. She's disappointed but it would be weird if she voiced it.
"Where's lover boy?"
Leo asks her and Lucas laugh at the stupid names they come up with. She rolls her eyes and walks to Mrs Calum's table.
"Alex. As part of your scholarship, you know you have to do the volunteering out reaches every month?"
"Yes mam. I did it, we were stationed in Zola 7."
"Where you the one who saved an old woman after she got hit with the car?"
Memories of Saturday came to play. The pedestrian light was on, and the old woman was crossing the pedestrian crossing line. A car was about to slam into her, she pushed the woman out of the way, and she got bumped by the car. Getting bumped by a car hurts, it hurt quite a lot.
"Yes. Professor, I-"
"You saved Miss Moore that day she is worth billions, she has decided to sponsor this faculty and would like to express her gratitude.
"No need, I would have done it for anyone."
Her professor straightens her posture. "She's sending our faculty a big fat cheque, you will take it, smile and say a speech."
"Why? I'm the one who got hit by a car."
"You got hit by a car?!"
Leo and Lucas exclaim now everyone knows. Some random student got up and said: "I have the video, look."
She saw herself get hit, she flew back before landing on the rough gravel. No wonder why she was in so much pain. She just laid there, her joints burning in agony. Still, her mind knows more pain than an irresponsible driver. She sees herself sit up; her phone rings.
"Hey."
Noah: <
"Mrs Calum, I saved her life, why am I forced to suffer for my kindness?"
She gave her phone to Leo, and she grabbed her things and stormed out. Now that her video is online everyone will see it including her former pack and ultimately Parker. She takes a cab to her flat, she paced for a bit panicking on what to do next. She calls upon her fairy odd healers.
"Alex."
"What happened?"
She sat on her bed trying to control her breathing. She knows that her location would have been figured out eventually, she just hates the fact that its days away from her birthday. Her mother sent her messages begging her to come back and that she misses her. There is a small part in her that still wants her mother; to be loved and chosen by her mother and she hates the conflict in emotions.
"Can I come stay in the fae realm tonight and maybe tomorrow?"
Her friends nod and they teleport her to the fae realm. She uses her key to open up her cute loft; it is as she left it. She walked to the kitchen and took the pints ice cream she always stocks up on for moments like these.
"How are your mates?" She asks as a mode to collect her thoughts, "are you guys finally queen by profession?"
They giggle. She knows that Nay and Mitch are in no hurry to be queens.
"I love the responsibility of having minimal responsibilities."
"We are healers and we still have to reach common ground with our husbands."
They share with her grabbing their own flavours in the fridge. "What happened?"
They ask in unison, she hates it when they do that. She always comes to the fae world when she needs a break from being her or when she misses her chosen family. Aevryn and Thalorien are nice enough to grant her entrance whenever she pleases, they even invite her to some fae holidays meant for family.
"I found my fated mate."
They squealed sitting closer as if they did not want to miss a word. "And..."
"His younger than me and my first impression of him was watching him hurt another junior. He slept with her and did not call back or want more from their relationship."
"So, let me get this straight... you would have preferred your fated mate to in a relationship with another woman?" -Nay
"And how young are we taking?" -Mitch
"His nineteen, I am three years older than him. He looks like a player, and if word on the streets is correct... I don't want to get involved or invested."
They nod.
"Is age a problem for you? I mean it's just a number." -Mitch
"Did you spend time with him? Did he give off fuck boy behaviour?" -Nay
Of course, Nay will ask that question. "His nice, playful, intelligent, his taller than me and his a Deucalion."
"So, what's the problem? People can change when they have a reason to, Nay hated the constitution of marriage until she found Aevryn." -Mitch
"I never hated it, I mocked it... there's a major difference." -Nay
"In the case of my fated mate, I am trying to be open minded and giving him a chance. My mother found out where I live and she somehow got my number. I blocked her and archived her number, so she started sending letters." She slams the tub on the table, "why am I still thinking about her?"
Her mother let her down time and time again, but she misses having a mother. She misses having a father, she really misses having a family. She loves the family she chose and that chose her, but she lost her family. Divorce is one thing, being abandoned, neglected and abused really did a number on her mental health.
"She's your mother, she will always be your mother, and it is okay to miss her."
"Yeah, what she said. I'm sure she misses you too." She nods wiping her tears away when Nay handed her a box of tissues, "now back to your fated.... kindly show us his picture."
"I left my phone with Leo. Everyone has their panties tied because I got bumped by a car."
They look at each other before exclaiming: "You got hit by a car?!"
"You guys have got to stop doing that." She yawns, "Yes. I'm fine, I healed myself using my ability... pretty cool huh."
"Yeah. How did your mate take the news?" -Nay
"We don't even have a relationship yet."
"Are you traumatised with relationships?" Mitch asks and she takes a second to consider her relationship with Noah. "Are you willing to share yourself the Deucalion?"
"I don't know, I guess only time will tell. You guys will meet him before anything happens; I trust your judgments more than my own." Her sisters hug her and she felt all the love of an orphan finding a home, "what's for dinner?"
"Let's go out. I'm sure Aevryn and Thalorien would love to celebrate your birthday this year."
Last year the brothers where preoccupied with work and responsibilities of creating order amongst fae and other kind. As much as the fae realms is difficult to access in the dark there are still gaps that can be used as a loophole. The gates are heavily guarded by incredible fae kin. Ultimately, the dark fae and anyone who could potentially access their realm were promised immediate execution upon arrival to their realm.
"Awesome, just like the old days."
She remembers how nice everyone is to her here that she somethimes never wants to leave, coming here gives her peace of mind. Her friends walked out to also get ready so that they can celebrate her. She used to live here and comes to visit here and there so she has everything she needs. Someone knocked on her door, it's Mitch.
"Come in."
"Here's a dress, we are going fancy tonight."
"Where are we going?"
"It's a surprise."
She took the gorgeous moss, and misty blue coloured dress. Mitch turns to leave and she decides to wear the dress with black heels. She's not a fan of makeup but she will dab a little, tonight will be fun.
