Chapter 3

Leila's POV 

Why don't they all get it? Mum said she had felt the spark in her fingers when she first met Dad. That was the first indication that they were made for each other. I am sure I had felt that spark when I first met Damian. Even if I was young. 

"Can we do a sleepover? I need to pass Miss Christy's test or I might not graduate with you guys". Lilly whined. 

"Why can't you study alone? Each time you have a test, we have to do a sleepover for you". Ellie grumbled rolling her eyes. 

"It's not my fault that I don't have a photographic brain like you two". Lilly argued. Ellie was ready to reply to her but I had to step in. I didn't want them to start dragging each other's hair again. Though it was funny to watch them both fight, it was also annoying. Ellie would always end up cutting a part of Lilly's hair with the pair of scissors she always carried, I wonder why. 

"Fine, we can have a sleepover over at my place. I just have to ask my mother for permission". Immediately those words left my mouth, Lilly stuck her tongue out in triumph towards Ellie. 

"But, Lilly, you have to promise us that you won't fall asleep or try to coax us into watching a movie". I quickly added before Ellie would give in to the temptation of disfiguring Lilly's face. She was always ready for action. The only reason Ellie wasn't training as one of the pack's soldiers was because of her stepmother. She probably didn't want Ellie to become a pack soldier with the fear of being beaten up by Ellie, but what she didn't know was that, if Ellie wanted to, she could beat her up without any sweat. Ellie was born to be a warrior. The only reason Ellie was holding back was because she was her mother's twin. It sounded weird but Ellie says she sometimes sees her mother in her stepmother which I tell you is the weirdest thing I have heard in my entire existence.

"Yeah, I promise, pinky promise swear". Lilly shouted waving her pinky finger in the air.  

"Will your brother be around?". Ellie suddenly asked making I and Lilly turn to her. 

"Of course he would why do you ask?". I could swear that I saw Ellie smile but it disappeared as soon as it appeared. Since when did she care if my crazy brother was around or not? We all hated him. He was just a pain in the ass.

"Nothing, I just felt like". Ellie shrugged. It better not be what I'm thinking. Lilly exchanged looks with me. We couldn't communicate through mind links since we were not officially connected to the pack. Mind link was like chatting to someone or people through minds. It was usually activated when a werewolf had shifted for the first time. I don't know how it happens but I guess I will find out a few months from now. 

"I will bring the snacks. My mother is the best cook in the pack". Lilly announced, and we all agreed. 

"And we should also use that time to plan for our birthday party". 

"Hey, ladies ". Someone said kissing my head. I knew immediately who it was. He sat down beside me making Ellie roll her eyes at me. She hated him since we were young and her hatred for him intensified when he asked me out. It was nothing to think about, Evie probably hated more than half of the pack members. That's just her problem. 

"Hi Damian! We were talking about our birthday party. Why don't we all celebrate it together. You know since it will also be your first shift ". Lilly said as she winked at me. I knew what she was thinking. I tried to hide my blush but I didn't do a good job at it. 

"Sure no problem. You just have to send me the budget. I will take care of everything". He said sweetly.

"We are so grateful Mr. Alpha but we are not handicapped. Just because we asked you to celebrate with us does not mean we gave you permission to become our father". Ellie said with hate dripping with every word. She never tried to hide her hatred for anybody. 

"I think what Ellie was trying to say was that we are extremely grateful for your kind gestures but we can manage ". Lilly said before I could open my mouth. I looked at her gratefully. 

"No it's no problem I can comfortably handle everything and take care of everybody. It's one of the pack Alpha's duties, my father always tells me". Damian replied calmly. 

"Yeah, you can comfortably take care of everybody, it's just a duty". Ellie replied harshly. It was just as if the hatred she had towards Damian grew day by day. Before any of us could say anything, Damian was called up by one of his friends. He kissed my cheeks and excused himself from us. It was an awkward moment. 

"What was the meaning of that?". I asked Ellie angrily, Immediately Damian was out of sight. 

"Meaning of what? I was just airing my views and there is no law against that". She answered nonchalantly, sipping her drink. 

"But that doesn't mean you should disrespect him. Damian is my boyfriend and also your future Alpha. I know you don't like him but could you try behaving like a normal person for me? It's that too much to ask?" 

"You just can't see it, can you? You are just being dumb and foolishly stupid. I just hope when you wake up from your daydream, you will still be able to live with your crazy choice". She said angrily stomping out of lunch. This was the second time she was this furious with me. The first time was when I mentioned that I had given my virginity to Damian. 

I had least expected her to do this. She was just jealous of me, just like Cassidy and the rest. I was going to be Luna and there was nothing she was going to be. She didn't even have a boyfriend and I had the hottest guy in the pack. That was her vexation. I scoffed and drank my milkshake.
