Alpha Khalid POV
“That girl in the prison…” I stopped to think of the possible phrase to get this all done with, but my head seemed to be blank. I think I’m losing my mind, I don’t think, I know I am.
“What happened to her?” Mother asked, with a hint of worry in her voice.
I stared at her suspiciously, as I noticed the worried look on her face. I just couldn’t help, but have some thoughts, conflicting on my mind. Could it be that they know each other? It’s not possible, right?
“Nothing, never mind.” I flashed her a smile, and stood up.
“I need to go. See you later.” I said, and without waiting for her response, I headed to the door, and in the next seconds, I left her chambers. As I walked through the veranda, the guards and maids kept greeting me, but I never paid attention to any of them, as my mind was somewhere else.
Something crossed my mind, the girl back in the woods, the pale blue wolf, and this Octavia girl, I don’t know whether I’m losing my mind for real, but I found myself, comparing them, and trying to see the possible relationship there, but it seems that I’m losing my mind for real, as I wasn’t able to come up with something.
I think I need to clear off my head, I think I need to go hang out with Jack, who knows, maybe I’ll be able to get all these shits off my head. I’m not used to doing that shit, but it seems that’s the only way for now.
I walked inside my room, and changed my clothes, before grabbing my car keys from the bed, after which I stormed out. I walked straight to the parking lot, and hopped in on one of my cars, before driving out of the compound, and soon, I was already on my way to his house. Jack is more closer to me than all the other alphas, but we rarely talk though. I know he’ll be surprised to see me in his house today, it’s been almost ten years, since I last went to visit him. The last time I remembered, was when he just moved into the house, which is almost eleven years now.
After driving for what seemed like forever, I finally drove into his compound, and parked at the garage, before alighting, after which I walked my way to the entrance door, where I met two of his guards, standing in front of the door. They bowed as soon as they saw me, and without giving them attention, I walked my way inside.
Stepping into the living room, I almost froze on my spot, as I was welcomed with the least expected person, Laurie. Gosh! I’m in for some shit today. If only I had known that she’s here, I wouldn’t have risked my life, she’s a bunch of frustration.
“Wait! Is that you Khalid?” She exclaimed, as soon as she sight me.
This lady is one of the most annoying person I’ve ever came across, in this my whole years of existence. She doesn’t respect and fear me like every other persons, she talks to me anyhow she likes it, and she doesn’t seem to be bothered, no matter how much I threaten her, she’s just like Moon, just like Moon do scare away sometimes. What do I even expect?
I maintained a straight face, as I walked passed her to go sit on the couch. I know it won’t work though, even if my demon is in control of me, she’ll still not cease to teasing me, and for some reason I don’t know, my demon seem to like her, he doesn’t get angry, no matter what she says or does.
“Cmon Khalid, you should know that doesn’t freak me.” She rolled her eyes, as she stood up from her seat, and came to sit beside me.
“Can you please leave me alone Laurie, I’m not here to be frustrated.” I groaned frustratingly.
She got hold of my hair, and started pulling it, like she always does.
“Laurie stop.” I held her hands, and tried getting her to leave me, but it only got worsened, as she kept shaking my hair.
“Cmon stop that Laurie.” Jack’s voice came on, as footsteps descended down the stairs, followed by a gasp.
“What if I don’t?” She pulled my hair one more time, before going to sit on her seat. Oh moon goddess, please save me from this frustration. I came here to clear my head, but she’s only getting it worsened.
“We’re not done yet!” She gritted her teeth.
“Khalid!” Jack exclaimed surprisingly.
“Laurie hasn’t changed a bit.” I rolled my eyes, before standing up, after which I walked to the bar section, which is behind the staircase. Though I’ve not been here for so long, but I still know my way around.
“This is like a dream. Is that really you or am I kind of dreaming here?” Jack scoffed unbelievably.
I scoffed, as I opened the fridge, and brought out a bottle of wine from it, and two wine glass, before heading to the garden. I can’t possibly be here, when this lady is here, right? I came here to clear my head.
“Meet me in the garden.” I said, before walking out.
Minutes later, we were already sitting in the garden, having some wine, while I got lost in thoughts again. This girl is really messing with my brain, and I don’t find it funny.
“You don’t look fine, are you ok?” Jack’s voice brought me back to reality.
I sighed, and dropped the cup on the table. As much as I wanted to keep everything to myself, I know letting it out, would help things a little, but can I really tell it to Jack? I find it hard trusting people, even my own mother, but something keeps telling me to let it out.
But how do I tell him? I can’t possibly say that I’m in love, right?
“Jack… I think I’m losing my mind. I… I… I don’t know how to say this, but a girl is driving me crazy.” I finally said, after a long silence, but froze on my spot at the voice that came on.
“A girl is driving you crazy?” Came the voice.
Oh shit! What’s she doing here?
