SAMANTHA'S POV"Mummy?"I turned away fearfully in the direction that Nova was going from.I ran to lift her lift her up into my arms,shielding her eyes from the scene as I took her back into the room exchanging galances with Manuel.Using the distraction as a opportunity,he barreled through Manuel who fell backwards on his back as ran for the window this time.He ran through the window flying into the air as the window shattered into his body.He fell with a massive hit from the window.It was two stored high and there was no way he was going to get through this fall unscathed. he heard his bone crack as he collided with the ground.Manuel ran towards the window chastising himself for losing focus.Menawhile I put Nove back to slept as she dozed off as soon as she was in my arms."Is she alright?"he asked as I locked the bedroom door quietly behind me."She's alright,thankfully she didn't get to see or hear any of the rukus that had gone in here.Otherwise she would have been penalised for
SAMANTHA'S POV I felt the sweat trickle down the side of my face slowly as I gugaued the entire room.When Manuel had told me we had to be at the pack house that day,I never expected that I would be required to do something.The elders had sent for me officially and as I dreaded every moment ot took me to appear in front of them,Inwas also nervous.I didn't know what to do or how to act.I didn't even know when I would say the wrong thing.And I didn't want to say the wrong thing.First impressions matter and since some pack members were also going to be present,I didn't want to be a source of embarrassment for Manuel.I found myself wanting to be accepted like I did when I lived with my foster parents who showered all their love and attention towards their daughter while I constantly had to prove myself over and over that I was worthy of their love.At the time,I didn't know any better but now I do.Hut the jitters just won't leave. "I don't know what to do Manuel"I whispered to him
MANUEL'S POV After the break-in last night,everything had been stilled and the three of us,Micheal,Rdyer and I had decided to pull our resources together to find a Jonathan."Are you sure the scar is on the right side?"Micheal asked as he dragged the pencil across the sheet of paper laying in his lap."That's what Samantha told us"Rdyer replied as he pulled a bottle of water foam the fridge.He retrieved two more bottles and handed them out when he arrived at the living room wherebinwas sittedndeep in thought and Micheal who was focused on his laptop screen."Its only been a couple of hours,we could still find him from the security footage"Rdyer suggested.We turned our attention to him,eyes wide.His darted darted from me to Micheal and back to me confused."What?"He asked shrugged his shoulders."Youre a genius Rdyer!"Micheal said as he typed away on the keypad of the laptop as fast as his fingers could move."Here"he declared some minutes later.He punched some keys on
MANUEL'S POV Samantha had been away for a day now and the house felt empty.I found my mind occasionally wondering about how she was doing and what she was doing?Were they treating her badly?Was she resting well enough for her challenge?I knowing wasnt easy to train the cubs.They were unruly,out of control and destructive. Eveey instructor that had been assigned to them had quit or ended up dying somehow.If there was anyone that could handle them I knew it was going to be her.Her warmth,charm and motherly instincts would surely take them by storm.My lips widened in a wistful smile as I thought of her.The knock of the door alarmed me beinging me our of my reverie."Who could that be?"I thought aloud as I trudged barefoot to the door.It was Maeve leaning kn the door frame with a beaming smile on her face.I let out a resigned sigh."What are you doing here Maeve?""Is that any way to treat the mother of your child?"she sais as she breezed past me walking into the room wit
SAMANTHA'S POV When the task had been given to me.I had unsure of doing it but meeting these kids have been truly life changing. But it wasnt them that I was worried about. Now I knew where all.their problems are coming from.It's because they've been too neglected.The people assigned to them didn't think twice about them.The meals that they were being served looked like dog poo and there was no proper training.The children were left to roam wherever they liked which was a bad idea when you were in charge of teenagers that were so keen to explore so long as it face them excitement.On different occasions I had seen a child injuring another because they couldnt control their claws as they manifested when they were angered.They were indeed unruly and hard to reason with but that was because they were not taught anything else to be.They didnt know whow to act so they formed stubbornness as a defence mechanism."Okay now,let's all settle down now"I pleaded "You're not the boss
SAMANTHA'S POV "Elder Alphana,what at you doing here?"I asked in disbelief.She laughed at my surprise."Dont worry darling.Am just here to keep an eye on you.As per orders given to me by the council but don't tell them I helped you.They would flip if they know am still here."She leaned in closely to whisper.I nodded with a wide smile playing on my lips."Now that's the smile I was looking for.Come on,Walk with me.You must tell me details of all your escapades in this place "she said cheerfully leading me towards the hallway.When we were away from the locker room and the possible prying eyes of the people that passed us with curious glances."Ignore them "Alphana advised."All they ever do is stare and try to look for their next victim"She said.I obeyed."The kids are going exceptionally.Chase is such a bright student but he chooses not to apply himself because it could potentially ruin his reputation and make them hate him for not being the guy he wanted them to think o
MANUEL'S POV "Samantha!"I called as I ran past the two woman that were scurrying out of the room.All I could think of was her.Was she okay?From what I had heard the stab wound was pretty serious because she lost a lot of blood because of it."Are you okay?"I asked as my hands roamed the length of her body frantically looking for any sign of injuries when I had found none.I had breathed in a sigh of relief."Are you alright?"I asked.She giggled at the concerned look in my eyes."Samantha could you please be serious.Did you get hurt?"I asked concern laced in my words.She paused for a while before vehemently shaking her head in response."So you have no injuries?"I asked.Again she nodded."But I do have an unjuredbkid on my hands and because hes still to young and haven't changed yet it would be excruciatingly painful got him to heal.And he won't be able to heal as fast."she ssid solemnly.Ny brows knotted in confusion.Here I am worried for her and she's busy worrying about
SAMANTHA'S POVI groaned as the sun rays shone straight through the sheer fabric of my curtain.I got out of bed at the sound of my mother's voice."Samantha!"My mother called out again."coming!"I called back.I rushed into the bathroom to get ready for the day.Trudging down the stair case I met my mum who wore a stern expression on her face which meant that she was really angry now."What took you so long?"My mother asked as she pivoted down the stairs to the kitchen."I was getting ready"I responded.Walking into the kitchen,I saw my elder sister, Maeve chomping down a plate of steak and chugging down a glass of juice with it."Hi sis"I greeted.All I got in response was silence.Maeve ignored me and focused on the plate in front of her.My mum who was oblivious to the exchange between us,walked to the kitchen aisle pulling out pots and pans frantically searching for something. Shaking away the sad feeling, I proceeded to help my mother."Mum,what are you looking for?"I
