Happy

Umbrie's pov.

I held onto the door knob, carefully eased it before going into the house. I kicked my shoes off my legs before proceeding towards the living room.

"Umbrie! You're home." Mom said excitedly while holding a couple of plates in her hands. I nodded my head slowly and walked over taking the plates from her.

"Yes, you're so loud." I chuckled moving with her to the dining table.

"How was your talk with Alpha Damien?" Dad asked immediately i sat next to Sky.

I smiled. "It was pretty good. No problem at all."

Jared was also at the table and he had a good face. And by good, I mean he looked happy and easygoing.

He should really adopt this look.

The dinner was heated as well started eating the sumptuous meal mom prepared. It was lively, hell, Jared even laughed the loudest. Sky kept making jokes about when he comes of age and turns into his own wolf.

Dad also reminded Jared and I about one time we had a full moon, it was chaotic as hell.

The pack house was in total chaos as all the wolves tried to get free from the chains and run in the wild.

Well, my father always told us that nothing good can come out of a werewolf running off during full moon. We are completely possessed by the moon's presence and the desire to unleash themselves consumes us like water breaking into land.

Mom didn't miss to tell us that the monthly teen wolf training was in two days. Yup..once in a month, the pack leaders organize a training activity for us. We get to shift into our wolves and run through the forest and try other activities that'd help us catch scents, sharpen our claws, be in good shape, catch sounds better and enhance our night vision.

The best gift we werewolves in Ice Valley have is Alpha Damien. Apart from him being hot, charming and brave, He's a very good leader and does all he could to make things better. Not just for us, but for humans too.

He's a doctor. A very skilled doctor and I really look up to him.

After eating with my family, I headed upstairs before anyone. I could catch a scent coming from my bedroom. Peppermint....

I know he's here and somehow, I'm happy to see him. Things aren't turning out like I thought it would. Even my ultimate revenge is wrecking me emotionally.

And then I thought it would be easy.

Nothing is.

To be honest.

I pushed through the door shutting it immediately. He was leaning against my desk.

He had no bandage and there were signs of cuts from Jared's beating.

That scene still makes me feel uneasy.

"Hi, Keiran. It's so nice for you to crawl in through my window." I said wearing a smirk.

I was still standing at the door side.

"I really wanted to go somewhere else. My mom's been popping into my bedroom every second to check my face and try to 'fix' it." He replied and I gulped.

"I could say sorry about what Jared did but..." I paused and shrugged my hands.

He bought out something from his pocket and dropped it on my desk. My phone.

Hmph! I actually survived without it for almost a day.

"What did Damien say?" Keiran asked and I frowned.

"Have some respect for our leader." I huffed and he made a throaty chuckle.

"He's my cousin, I can't fake how I feel about him." He stated. Hmph. Jerk.

"It's none of your business until you talk to him." I replied with a smirk. "Then we can both say what we shared with him."

"Makes sense."

His phone started ringing and my lips parted as he brought it out and stared at the screen. This is like a deja vu. When we were at the garden and he ditched me.

"Hillary, that punk." He muttered and switched off the phone.

I couldn't hide how surprised I was. I need help.

"So, you were saying...." He said looking at me.

I chuckled as something came to my mind. "Do you know my mother is aware that you're here?"

His lower mouth slightly dropped.

"Really? How did you know?"

"My mom must have sensed you because because the last time you snuck into my room, I woke up the next morning and she was really looking at me like there was something resting on my face." I laughed at the last part and he chuckled.

"She must have thought we did something you know..." His voice drifts off. With the look on his face, I knew he was thinking dirty.

He left the desk and came close to me. He pulled me into a hug surprising the light out of me.

"Am I possessive?" He growled against my ear and I shrunk in half. He really should stop or I'll...

"You were." I replied and smirked. "Before you left the country."

He let out a low laugh. "Who said I left the country?"

"I don't know. Your family has the money. You must have been somewhere in abroad chilling." I replied hoping from this, he would open up to me about where he was.

Rather, his face was completely blank as he slowly released his hold around my back.

"It has been so long... Why don't we just..." He stopped talking and kissed my neck.

My ego bloomed when I realized he wanted me.

Unfortunately, this is one thing I can torture him with and I'm not about to loose the opportunity.

I wiggled out from his caress and his face instantly turned to like that of a baby being denied it's food when it's really starving.

"I don't understand, Umbrie. How are you able to resist me so much? It's been a while...don't you want it too?" He whined and it took a lot for me not to laugh.

It just takes a lot to resist him. He just shouldn't know.

"Are you gonna come for the teen exercise?" I asked nervously.

He nodded, bopping his head up and down.

"It's ridiculous but Damien said I must come."

"Alpha Damien." I corrected him.

"Whatever. I'm going to go see Sky. I miss that little fella." He said brushing past me.

"Okay, get lost already." I said flagging my hand at him. I tell him to leave but I really wanted us to talk some more even though the conversation might end bothersome.

He was about to leave when he turned and quickly shaked my hand.

What?

I gawked at him as he shakes it a few times before leaving. If he gets caught by my mom, He's gonna have some explaining to do.

• Jared's Pov •

Umbrie won't break things off with Keiran.

She's not going to listen to me.

She's going to let him win her over.

She'll remain with him.

And that is going to push me.

I simply smiled while twirling the glass of wine between my fingers.
