it had been two days since Agnes sent her to this world. today was the day of the full moon, the day she'd have at least, someone, Dante on her side. The past days since she arrived were suspiciously nice, she eat well, Dante, who said he'd never leave her alone acted out what he said and when he wasn't there, Calvin was with her.

Calvin was truly a head or what word did he use again, alpha, yes alpha. she saw how he gave out orders to different people, some of them in their wolf state, which still freaked her out and she saw how they all bowed down before him and her, surprisingly too like twice or thrice before they left.

Calvin tried his best to keep her comfortable and truly, she was. the only thing that made her uncomfortable now, was the wolves.

Calvin was a very funny type. he would stare at her right after he'd finished cracking a joke and she'd finished laughing. Dante never uttered a word when he stayed with her. whenever he looked at her, she didn't feel good because he gave her a very solemn and suspicious look. she guessed he was still digesting the possibility that she wasn't his sister, Alexis.

Noon came and went by quickly and soon, it was evening. Dante came to her after Calvin had gone.

"if you're pulling any prank, Alexis come clean now" he warned her "it's unbearable, having to think about you for the whole of the day "

"deep down, you know I'm telling the truth, right?" she cajoled " you have no idea how those scars suddenly vanished from my body......"

"like I said, that can't be trusted. you can't be trusted, Alexis "

"why?"

"you're well known for making mischief everywhere you go and your notorious pranks are renowned "

" that's Alexis...." she began then stopped "you know what, Pete, I mean Dante, the full moon is about to appear.... let's just wait till then and we'll know "

"of course " he said curtly "I'll go call Calvin " then he left

she sighed sadly, Calvin just left her not to long ago, was he going to come back now? Dante had been everything but nice to her since she told him she wasn't his sister. she wanted to at least have a conversation with Dante and maybe they could get along and close to each other since she didn't know how long she'd be trapped in this universe.

Calvin appeared again

"Alex, anything wrong with Dante?"

she shrugged. she barely knew him, so she doubted that she could keep up with his moods and right now, she didn't want him to ruin her time with the good looking guy who sat in front of her and who she was getting to know

"what does it feel like to be an alpha?" she said as she changed the subject.

Calvin kept mute for a moment as he stared at her. his gaze, giving off an emotion she couldn't quite fathom. he reached out and placed his palm on her cheek.

"I don't know if you can recall but you made me who I am" he said to her "you are like my muse, Alexis and I want you to know that no matter what has happened to you, I still love you the same " he declared

wow, she thought. was she wrong when she cursed Agnes? this was a magnified version of what she wished for. she and Calvin locked stares. she hadn't stayed for long in this universe and look what she was already getting. she guessed he really loved Alexis alot. for a split second, she dreaded the thought of leaving this world. she hadn't felt love since she was a child. her own mother never as much as glanced her way and also treated her like she was a burden while her siblings also treated her same. she didn't know if she could get affected by the what he just said. by the way, she wasn't Alexis and he thought she was Alexis as he said that.

She looked at Calvin as he looked outside, through the window.

"it's almost time for the full moon to come out" he said to her "let's go"

she swallowed in fear "go where?"

"to the woods. it's not far"

she reluctantly followed him. for a start, she was confused and she didn't have any other choice but to follow him.

Dante suddenly appeared

"I'll take her, the pack needs you" he said to Calvin

"right" said Calvin then scurried off after he nodded a silent encouragement to her

"we're going on a detour, not to the woods"

she didn't know why she suddenly felt better, safe... maybe because after tonight, she was going to have one person on her side.

*********

Dante glanced at her occasionally, as they walked. her cheeks were stained with red and she bit on her lip so he could tell she was flustered. he couldn't trust what she said because of the reputation Alexis had. Alexis effortlessly pulled pranks and scared the comfort out of people if she had her mind set to it. her free spirited nature was what attracted Calvin to her. she lived fine, thriving as Calvin's mate until the news of her kidnap spread and he couldn't find her again but then he later did and now this......

they arrived at the field. the moon was about to rise fully.

he stared at her again.

she stared back.

"you look flustered" he said, his voice filled with derision.

"well, I should be" she said with a fiery tone "there are animals here and I'm vulnerable "

the field wasn't isolated, there were people here too , waiting for the moon to rise fully. she certainly looked vulnerable. if she was Alexis as he thought, what was she planning? what prank did she have up her sleeve? and if she wasn't Alexis as she said, well, time would tell....

"we have to make a deal" she said.

that was sudden

"deal?" he asked

"yes. you don't believe me because I obviously can't prove that I'm not Alexis but if I'm right, you'll have to do what I say"

"like what?"

"first off, be nice to me and I'll tell you the other things you have to do as time goes by"

"and if you're Alexis?" he asked

"if I transform into a wolf this night ---" she scoffed midway her speech "which I highly doubt, I am ---"

he didn't hear the rest of what she said because he felt the hairs grow on his body rapidly and he guessed the full moon had risen. he quickly pulled his shirt and shorts, leaving only his undergarment. he caught a glimpse of her staring wide eyed at him.

he felt his nails grow into claws and his pupils dilate. then his bones began to snap. he heard shouts from all over. it probably hurt people who have just recently triggered their curse but it didn't hurt him because he was used to transforming and he could transform anytime he wanted. he'd triggered his curse sixteen years ago and since then he'd been transforming every full moon. his skin stretched and tightened, adjusting to his new form. he felt his ear change into its pointed shape and then his face began to contort. he felt his facial bones reform, especially his jaw bones and he guessed his snout had formed. sharp teeth emerged and his morphing into a wolf had been completed. he still heard people screaming in agony of transformation.

Alexis.

he was fully absorbed in his transformation that he had forgotten all about her. he turned and then saw her.

she sat on the field with her hands over her mouth, making muffled sounds and blocking the loud and frightened sounds which threatened to erupt. what was going on? she was right. she certainly wasn't Alexis, for she hadn't transformed and there was no difference in her body.

where was his sister, Alexis? right. that bastard, Raymond still held her captive. he wondered how she was faring all alone.

he looked at the lady again. she was next level frightened. she looked so vulnerable where she sat that he felt the urge to protect her fiercely. who was she?

forgetting he was still in his wolf form, he went closer to her and she let out a frightened scream and began to cry loudly.

it made him stay put.

she cried continuously for a while, until the light from the moon began to decrease. he felt himself go back to his human self after the moon waned and he rushed to her.

she still cried heavily and sniffed. he gathered her in his arms

"it's okay" he soothed until she stopped crying.

he carried her up, in his arms and they began to head back to the alpha's domain.

as he carried her, he knew deep down that whoever she was, she was going to play a really significant role in their lives.
