Alex's Quest by Kat Dravenmoon (large ebook reader .txt) 📖

Intro

My name is Alex and I'm on the run from my abusive father. I have my baby sister with me, her name is Millie and our mother died giving birth to Millie and her twin Mikey. Millie survived whereas Mikey was stillborn. It's sad to watch your family destroyed after you find out your mother cheated on your father with someone of different color. Millie is a mixed baby girl with blue eyes, if you don't know that is very rare. She must have gotten them from our mother. Anyway back to what I was talking about, I'm 17 and running from an abusive home. I refuse to let anyone watch Millie so she's with me at school all day and I find friends to stay with, this is just until my best friend and current crush gets back home. I miss him a lot. Joey is my "rock," if you knew him you would understand why I call him my rock. He has been there through it all... My twin's car wreck, the funeral, Mom's secret boyfriends, Dad getting angry with Mom and having sex with me, my miscarriage, my car wreck, and my first prom (with him). He's been gone for over seven months. He's in the Marines and should be coming home soon. My friend Ashley has been helping me get diapers and things needed for Millie.

Chapter 1 Alex's P.O.V.

Ashley's big brother Shawn and his buddies Alec and Shane were sitting in the living room watching the game. We walk in and Millie starts to cry causing the guys to look at Ashley and me. Alec gets up and walks over to us and Millie starts to get quiet. Alec looks at me with loving eyes and offers to take Millie so I can be alone for awhile and get some sleep, but he doesn't realize I can't sleep without her. After an hour Alec comes and checks on me seeing I'm still awake.

"Hey can't sleep?"

"Not without Millie."

"Here," he lays her down next to me and to my surprise he lays with us.

I slowly fall asleep with his arms around me and Millie. Alec moves closer to me trying not to squash Millie. I can feel him there, but I'm afraid to open my eyes. I'm afraid to look at him.

Chapter 2 Alec's P.O.V.

When I heard the baby I knew it was Alex holding Millie. I love her, but she don't see me the way I see her. I was watching football with the guys and Millie distracted me. I am the only one Alex trusts with Millie.

"Hey can't sleep?"

No, not without Millie," She admitted.

"Here," I lay her down next to Alex and decide to lay with her.

She slowly falls asleep with my arms around her and Millie. I move closer to her trying not to squash Millie. I want to kiss her, but don't know if she'll hit me. I am inches away from her lips and Ashley walks in so I pretend to be asleep so she can't say anything to us.

Chapter 3 Alex's P.O.V.

 Ashley wakes me up wondering what was going on and why Alec was laying with me. I didn't know so I told her that he wanted to make sure Millie was okay. After trying to wake him up she gives up and leaves. I let out my breath I didn't realize I was holding, I feel a pull towards Alec and wish I knew why.

"Alec?" I whisper seeing if he is awake.

"Yeah?" He asks.

"Why do you care so much about Millie and me?"

"I don't think I can explain it to you."

"Can you try?"

"It feels as if I have known you all my life."

"How? We met just two years ago."

"No, it's deeper than that."

"How is it deeper?"

"I think we were around each other when we were younger. Do you remember your childhood?"

"Not much, just a fire, screaming, and being taken to my dad's house."

"How old were you when it happened?"

"I think I was six."

Chapter 4 Alec's P.O.V.

She was six! She's my mate. I thought I would never find her. Her mother took her to safety or so we thought.

"Alex do you remember anybody you played with?" I ask in hopes of her remembering the oath our parents made us take when we were four and I kissed her because she dared me to.

"No, that's all fuzzy. I just started to remember the fire." She looks so hurt, "Did we grow up together?"

"Yeah, we did. Our parents said we would be mates."

"Mates?"

"Yeah, you were the alpha's daughter, but she ran after someone killed her mate and twin sons."

"I had twin brothers?"

"Yeah." How could she not remember? They were her everything, they taught her how to shift, hunt, and control her anger.

"I'm sorry I don't remember." She looked sad. I wanna hold her to me and tell her it's okay.

Chapter 5 Alex's P.O.V.

 I'm sad I can't really remember my early childhood. I feel as if I feel as if I should be able to. Wait where did these voices come from

'I really wanna fuck her,' a male voice booms

'He's cute,' another male thinks

'Is Alex okay?' Ashley's voice sounds in my head.

I let out a small whimper.

"Are you okay Alex?"

"Yeah, I just have a headache."

"May I hug you?" Alec whispers.

I nod and he moves to hug me. As soon as I'm in his arms the voices stop and without warning I kiss his neck.

"Alex?"

"Yeah?" I whisper.

"Did you mean to do that?"

"I think so."

He gets me to look at him and our lips meet in a sweet kiss. I'm afraid to end this kiss, but Millie woke up and started crying.

Chapter 6 Alec's P.O.V.

I kissed her and Millie woke up. I feel bad for kissing her as she hurts. I must make her remember our childhood. We were meant to be together. If I can get her to see it, then maybe she'll date me and we'll get married. I watch as she takes care of Millie. Millie falls back asleep and Alex wants to cuddle, I can tell she feels the connection between us.

"Alex?"

"Yeah Alec?"

"Is it weird that I want to share the world with you?"

"Not as weird as how I feel."

"Well, how do you feel?"

"Like I love you, but I don't remember much about my childhood."

"When we were little we lived next to each other. Your real dad and brothers died in a fire when we were six. After they died your mother took you, naming my father the alpha, to live with the man you know as your father. Your sister is also like us, but her father is from a different pack."

"I don't believe you," She shakes her head.

"Alex, please trust me."
