Alessia p.o.v
I poured my self a big glass of water with a couple of ice cubes.
As I poured water into my cup, the ice cubes clinked softly.
I'm the youngest and the only girl among my two older brothers.
My dad leads an army, so we grew up with rules and toughness.
Sometimes, especially at night, I feel the pressure of living up to their expectations.
Despite my brothers being protective, I sometimes crave moments alone, just being me, not the general's daughter.
My eyes glanced over at the clock.
Wow, it was about two in the morning.
"It's still early, I need to go back to sleep." I said to my self as I rubbed my temples on my head.
I walked in the dinning room, past the back doors when something caught my eyes.
You got to be kidding me!
My eyes focused on a wolf standing next to the bench all the way back in my back yard...all of a sudden... The wolf changed to a human.
Oh my goodness!
How come?
A werewolf?
How did it get here?
Our walls are protected, there is no way a werewolf could have gone past through it without my dad's men knowing about it.
I stepped closer to the door, trying to see it better when it turned around.
It was a dark green eyes looking right at me.
"What the fuck!" I mumbled to my self.
It's him!
The mysterious man in my dreams.
I knew it was him.
Those eyes you could see them from a mile away.
I placed my hand on the door handle, tempted to go outside and confront him.
No Alessia, don't!
This might be a trap.
I bit my lip while my mind battled if I should or not.
"Ugh."
I let out a deep breathe as I closed the door, staring at him then I locked the door and the big wooden door that went after it.
I'm probably just so tired, that I'm imagining stuff, I thought to myself as I quickly turned off the kitchen light and the dinning room light then made my way back to my room.
As I made my way back to my room, my heart still pounding from the strange encounter, I nearly jumped out of my skin when I saw my brother standing in the hallway.
"Hey, Alessia, what are you doing up so late?" he asked with concern evident in his tone.
I struggled to keep myself even though my mind was still reeling.
"Oh, uh, just getting some water," I managed to reply as my voice betrayed me.
He raised an eyebrow, probably sensing something was off with me.
"Are you okay Alessia? You don't sound like my junior sister...."
I faked a laugh.
"What do you mean Nicholas? I'm fine and stop acting like an overprotective big brother." I say to him as I tried to brush off his question.
"Hmmm.."
"Now, if you don't mind, can I go to my room now?"
