Jonathan's POV

I slowly opened my eyes and saw that it was already dawn, as I was sitting up, I got a good look at Angelica's face. She looks exactly like Monica, but at the same time unfamiliar to me. Looking at her lips, I remembered our kissβ€” it was accidental, but both of us had our first kiss. How childish of me, but I guess I was sentimental. I leaned forward and planted a kiss on her cheeks and forehead before shifting back into a wolf and hiding the pants under her bed before going back to sleep.

ANGELICA'S POV

I woke up later than expected and Nathan is still sleeping beside me.

"He must be tired, I guess he walked a lot of miles before getting here." I think I'm gonna adopt him. I slowly stretched my body and I remembered the man standing last night. I walked out of my room and saw Angelique already on the table counter.

"By the way, a man was standing on our porch last night," I said, looking at him with a confused expression.

"There's no one knocking at the door, I could only hear one car passing by." Angelique pointed out.

"Well, the car that is passing by is Madison's, because we thought you knew that man." I pointed out.

"Who could that be?" she thinks deeply...

15 hours ago...

Alexander's P.O.V.

I shifted into a wolf to run and go to where she lived. I'm now standing at their porch and trying to knock at the door but I can't seem to do it, after all the obsession, it comes down the drain.

"You can do this, just talk to her," I told myself. I raised my hand again to knock but I really couldn't.

"What am I even doing here?" Two cars passed by already and I know that it will just be useless standing here for minutes without action, I left with a bothered expression. Even with my obsession with Monica, the girl that I met back at the venue feels unfamiliar to me. I left in a haste and went back to my place.

"Where is that boy who told me about Monica's whereabouts?!" I slammed the door shut and everyone was nervous to reply, no one even dared to step up. Only Anita showed up beside me with a smirk.

"Let me guess, Alexander, Monica didn't remember you." She scoffs, I glared at her, to which she shrugs it off.

"Anyways, you still have one thing on your mind, right? Get her back? After all, I do want to see her, I've anticipated so much after your grand fight with Jonathan. If only I was there to witness it." Anita walks away before I can even get to her, and just sighed in defeat.

ANGELICA'S POV

"By the way, are you coming?" Angelique stopped thinking.

"Of course, I won't miss visiting mom and dad." She smiles even though her voice sounds grim.

"What about Nathan? Does he want to come?" She questioned me, that's a good one.

"I'll ask him later when he wakes up."

"And what will you ask when I wake up?" I looked behind me and there he is, sitting in the doorway and yawning.

"Do you wanna come with us?"

"Where?"

"At a graveyard, we'll visit my parents. I'm sure they'd be surprised if I talked about you." Nathan just snorted and went to drink some water from his bowl.

"What a grumpy wolf, he must be really old," Angelique says out loud, making him choke.

"D-did you just call me old?" he started whining again and she just laughed at him, he kept whining but I noticed that the couple wasn't knocking at the door.

"Hmm, weird," I said, making the both of them stop.

"Why?"

"Just... the neighbors aren't coming here today."

"They might be scared of me." Nathan snorted.

"I don't understand what he's saying, Angelica."

"He asked when we were going." I lied, just to not raise suspicions about the couple.

"Oh, right, in 30 minutes."

"That fast?" Nathan and I asked in unison, although she wouldn't understand.

"Yep, you better hurry up." Angelique quietly sits on the couch and eats her cereal, and of course, she emptied the milk again.

"I know that look, I bought one already." she points at the fridge. I just rolled my eyes and looked at Nathan.

"Do you want milk?" I asked him.

"Yeah." He nods and I look at Angelique, who fetches the milk and tries to put it in Nathan's bowl, he growls at it and pushes it away.

"I guess he doesn't like me pouring the milk, you do that instead." Angelique gives it to me and he's just waiting for me quietly.

"Gosh, why do you have to be possessive?" I put away the bowl and poured another milk into David's bowl.

"Thanks." he smiles at me and my eyes squint at him. I went into the bathroom and quickly bathed. After taking a bath, I swiftly changed into my bedroom and as soon as I got out of my bedroom... Angelique starts laughing at me.

"So you do things quickly when you are being pressured." She taps my shoulder and Nathan barks at her.

"That's low of you, everything has time for us to be ready." Angelique looked at him with wide eyes and I chuckled.

"He's siding with me." I stick my tongue out at her and he barks at me too.

"I'm not siding with anyone, you're so gullible and you should be careful when listening to them. You should know better." My mouth hangs open and he just drank his milk as if nothing happened.

"Do you even know why I named you Nathan?" He suddenly stops drinking and looks at me.

"It's because you're grumpy and cold like my boss."

"I'm not grumpy."

"Yes you are, maybe you are an old wolf." I harshly commented at Nathan, making him flinch.

"I know that what I'm saying right now might be crazy, but I don't understand what you guys are talking about. So, can I leave?"

"No." We both said to Angelique, she just shook her head and plops down on the couch.

"Whatever, I'm the eldest yet I'm the one who is following orders." She planted her face with a magazine.

"We're not done here, Mr. Nathan the Grumpy." I picked him up and carried him to my room, he didn't move a paw when I put him down on my bed.

"Why to bother?" he asks as if he's getting bored and he faces away, my feet touch something smooth when I touch the ground.

"Huh? What's that?" I looked under and saw pants hiding under the bed?

"What do you mean, what's that?" I suddenly sit up and look out the window.

"There's this guy who keeps coming back to our house and I don't know who that is." I deflected the other topic.

"Probably a stalker or something." Nathan moves and stops when I look at him.

"Where are you going, Mr. Grumpy?"

"Well, you said we're going to visit your parents?"

"Oh, right... Why did I almost forget that?" I stand up slowly, before looking at my bed, who could've possibly left pants under my bed? I shrugged it off and tapped my sister to go now.

"How long do I wait before we get there?" He asks when we got in.

"Probably three hours?" Nathan snaps his head at me and his eyebrows furrow.

"That long?" He exclaimed.

"So you believed what I just said right now, huh?" He swallowed hard at my question and faced away.

"Figures." Shortly after the ride, we stopped at a cemetery. Other people are also here too, we got out and took a long sigh.

"You keep sighing, what's the matter?" Angelique asked me.

"It's just... I just miss Mom and Dad all of a sudden."

"Me too, sweetie, what about you Nathan? Do you miss someone too?" He looked fazed and didn't answer.

"Maybe he missed someone, he ignored it," I whispered to her and we walked in. When we reached our parent's grave we put the flowers on their grave and sat beside it.

"Hey mom, we miss you so much. I want to cook with you." My tears welling up.

"Yeah, and Dad, I want to have a rematch with you. We miss you so much, it hurts." Angelique starts weeping quietly as her hands gently caress the tomb, my tears fall from my cheeks when I hear her crying, and gulp down my sob.
