AYLA

I wake up from a deep sleep and see that I had slept through my alarm. I groaned and rolled over. That means I will need to get the pickup tonight after everyone is asleep. Every Thursday I would need to wake up way earlier than usual to get a pick up of Vegetables from the Market. All supernaturals come to the market for their own errands. But because I missed the morning market, I will have to go to the night one.

I got up from the bed and looked at my son. He was still fast asleep. He can't stay here. I won't let him. After last night's event...I can't let my son stay here. I can't let him grow up here. In this hell. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. I'm going to get my son out of here...even if it is the last thing that I do.

I sat next to his sleeping form. He looked so much like his father...Solomon. He reminds me of him every day, and it pains me. I have been separated from my mate for years. Each day I feel my soul being chipped away a little more. I don't know how long I will last before I completely break. I need to assure Milo's safety and his well-being.

I go and get dress before I wake Milo up. He had a bad night, he deserves to have a little more rest.

As I dress, I can't help, but feel like a failure as a mother. I have stayed in this disgusting place for five years. I could've gotten out...but I think without me knowing, I gave up trying to escape. I part of myself accepted that this was my fate. But that is truly selfish because I have forced my own fate upon my son. I look at him and smile at his messy, wild and Curley brown hair. This is not his fate. This is not his life. This is my life and I will not let my son live in the hell I am. I want him to have a good life, find a mate, have pups and grow old. He needs that life, even if I won't be a part of it. I will die at peace knowing he will be okay.

In that moment, I vowed that before this week is up, my son will be free, the cost may be my life, but it was damn well worth it.

I walk to my baby boy and stroke his hair, "Milo? It's time to wake up baba."

He squints his eyes and groans as he slowly woke up, "Good morning Mama."

I smile at him, "Good Morning my son. I have to go now because I woke up late so mama won't be here to help you with your morning. Are you big boy enough to take care of yourself this time?"

He smiles at me and nods, "I'm a big boy."

I squeeze his shoulder and say, "Good. Mama will be back later to check on your, okay?"

He nods his head silently. I point to my cheek and say, "Are you forgetting something."

Milo giggles. He leans in and kisses my cheek, "Bye mama." My son tells me.

SOLOMON

I was in the office looking at some reports from the boarders when a knock sounded at the door. "Come in." I said without looking at the door.

Alpha Kendrick walks in and I have an instant reaction of hate. I wanted to kill this bastard so bad but I can't. The pack is still loyal to him. But once I am fully Alpha and the pack swears an oath of allegiance to me...then I will make a plan for Alpha Kendrick. He has hurt Izzy as well as Mia. Rage builds inside me. He will not survive the month. I'm going to make sure of it

"Hello Soul." He greeted.

"It's Solomon." I said bluntly while staring at the reports.

Kendrick coughs in his hand, "Right. Solomon, I received word that the beta from your old pack has built a house and is celebrating a housewarming party. It has been requested that you be there."

"Then I will go. I cannot miss that."

Kendrick stepped forward, "I am sure it is an important occasion. However, you are sorely needed here and-"

That was when I looked at him. I stood up to my full height, "And I have loyalties to my family. I am not Alpha of this pack yet. I am not married to your daughter yet, so I have no real connections to this pack just yet, Kendrick. I will be leaving for my old pack tomorrow at sunrise," I sit back down at looked back at my papers, "I have work to do now." I made sure I left him no room to have a say. My word was final.

AYLA

As I was cleaning the windows in one of the guest bedrooms I saw, through the glass, a man outside. He had his back to me while staring at the warriors training. He must be the soon to be Alpha, Sophie's fiance. As I stared at him, I could tell he was powerful. There was a sense of authority from the way he was standing. His back straight and his shoulders wide. He was wearing a grey hoodie with some basketball shorts. I couldn't help but just stare for so long.

My wiping on the window began to slow as I tilted my head and squinted my eyes to focus more on him. He seemed so familiar. I don't know how...but I feel like maybe I've seen him before? Strange. I wonder what pack he is from.

I shake my head and went back to wiping the windows. But every now and then, I would glance back at the Alpha. Seeing him standing like that reminds me of the time when Solomon and I snuck out and he was waiting with his back to me. Just like that.

FLASHBACK

I was a sixteen year old that has never done anything too extreme in my entire life. I NEED to get out more, I need to be a teenager and make mistakes! I know I was naturally adventurous, but I alway kept it on the safe side. I needed to start taking a little bit of risks here and there.

As I looked at myself in the mirror I nodded my head. I was wearing some ripped up shorts with a hoodie and converse. I looked at the time. It was 1:30 AM. He shoulder be here any minute.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Take a few risks. Everything will be okay. Worst comes to worse? I'll be grounded for a month. I can live with that.

I heard a pebble hit my window and I smiled. I opened it and looked down to see Solomon scoping out the area.

"Pssst!"

Soul turned around. When he saw me, he smiled, "Finally, come on before anyone sees!"

I jump out of the window and unto the roof. I look down and I jumped, landing on my feet perfectly. I bow down, as if was bowing to a crowd and say, "Thank you, thank you!"

Solomon just rolled his eyes, "Come on Alya, we don't have time, we're goning to miss it!"

I walk towards him and say, "We're not going to miss it. I wouldn't allow that. I'm the one obsessed with stars remember."

Solomon snorted and said, "More like crazy about them. If it was legal to marry the sky...you would."

"Who's to say I'm not?" I laugh.

Solomon shook his head at me. He pushed me in the direction of the woods, "Come on."

Instead of walking next to him and ran, "Race you there!"

I heard him laugh behind me before saying, "You're on!"

My heart beat with excitement as we both ran into the darkness of the woods. I couldn't see him, but I could hear him. He's always been competitive, that's why I like challenging him because he literally can't handle me winning at anything we do together.

As we ran, I was dodging branches and bushes. I thought I was doing pretty well, until someone smashed into me, making me fall.

"Oops! Didn't see you there!" Yelled out, Solomon.

My mouth hung open in a gasp, "You dick!" I shouted at him. I got back up and I ran, but I knew I was going to lose.

When I finally got to the lake, Solomon was already sitting on our big rock waiting for me. He looked at me and smirked, "You should really watch where you step."

My eyes widen, "Excuse me? You're the one that pushed me to the ground!"

He shrugs his shoulder, "I only tripped a little."

I climbed unto the rock and sat next to Solomon, "The only reason you won was because I fell. If I didn't, I would be the one chilling on this rock before you."

Solomon rolled his eyes and scoffed, "Keep dreamin, Ayla."

I shoved his shoulder. He looked at me and laughed. I couldn't help but laugh quietly to myself too.

I look up at the sky and see all the stars. The sky is so magical and fascinating to me. It's crazy the thought that in the day there is the sun and it's bright and light. Then the sun goes down and it's dark, but where there is darkness, there is always light. The stars are shining and the moon is light and pure. It's so simple. And it's an idea that we have gotten so used to because we have always lived with day time and night time. But if you actually think about it...it's actually really crazy.

My eyes widen and I gasp as I see it. I grab unto Solomon's arm and shake it, "Look Solomon Look! It's happening!"

Solomon chuckled and nods his head,"I see it."

My cheeks were hurting from smiling so much. The Comet only comes every five hundred years. It was amazing. The big bright ball that had a trail of light painting the sky. I was mesmerised.

"Beautiful." I whispered to myself. It was so amazing that I felt tears sting my eyes. I lower my head and rub my eyes.

"You're kidding me right?" Solomon said in Shock, "Are you actually crying?"

I sniff and said, "No," in a shaky voice.

Solomon burst out laughing, "You're crying over the comet?" He said breathlessly. He was clutching his stomach because he was laughing so hard.

I balled my fist and punched him hard in the face. He yelped and shouted, "My Nose!"

"Shut up you piece of shit! Of course I'm crying! It's a beautiful thing!"

Solomon was rubbing his nose when he mumbled, "Yeah but you don't need to cry over it."

I shoved him and said, "Yes I do! I need to express how much love I have for it. Stop being a dick!"

Solomon smirked, "Then stop being emotional."

I rolled my eyes. Solomon is such a dick. But he's still my friend and I love him...but he's still a dick.

I gasped, "I just remembered something!" I went to the side and looked through my bag. I got out my dad's old radio, "Look what I found!"

"Whoa! That's crazy! You're holding a genuine piece of crap!" He laughed.

I groaned in annoyance, "No you asshole it's a radio. Come closer and help me pick a station. He sat closer as we listened to the different songs that were playing.

My heart skipped a beat when I heard a song, "YES! LEAVE IT TO THIS SONG!" It was old school but I love it.

Solomon groaned, "Not this song."

I laughed as I stood up. And started to mouth to the lyrics. I start dancing around the rock as I lip synced. Solomon was just sitting and watching me with an amused smile.

"Let them say we're crazy...I don't care about that, put your hand in my hand baby and don't ever look back!" I offered my hand to Solomon to join me before the climax of the song.

"No." He said bluntly.

I looked at him and raised my brows, "You know you want tooooo."

Solomon rolled his eyes....but he took my hand with a smirk. He stood up and started lip syncing the boy part.

I laughed and clapped my hands. Then a brilliant idea struck me, "Let's do our living room routine!"

Solomon shook his head with wide eyes, "Hell no am I doing that again."

But it was too late. I already started doing my part of the dance moves. Once we start the routine...IT HAS TO BE FINISHED.

Solomon groaned but started doing his part of the dance. I could see he was havung fun. As we went on we got more into it. We were dancing weirdly all over the place as well as singing to the song. We were just purely being our weird selves without any judgment that was the most freeing feeling ever

When the song ended we collapsed back on the rock panting

"That was some good dancing." Solomon said.

I laughed and looked at him, "I told you you'd enjoy it." I smiled at him brightly as he smirked.

We didn't break eye contact for a while. We just stared at each other. He looked at me straight in the eyes ad I stared right back. We didn't sat anything at all. I felt like something was supposed to happen in this moment. Something crazy. But it didn't. We kept our silence...yet it didn't feel silent at all. I felt like so many words are being said...except it was through us looking at each other. This unspoken language that is expressing our deepest thoughts and feelings that we ourselves don't even understand.

"You're eyes are so blue. They sparkle so much. It seems like you have your own set of stars." He whispered to me.

My breath hitched. He's never said anything like that to me before. I didn't know how to react. However I found myself smiling a little

His eyes are blue too. They weren't like my blue tho. His were deeper. It was like a navy blue. It was so dark like the ocean. Sometimes they give me chills from how intense they are. My heart was beating hard against my chest. I didn't want to feel this. I was trying to not let myself feel this...but I am. I could feel it in my heart. Damn it Ayla...you're falling from the highest cliff for him...and you didn't even know it. And now...I'm terrified of getting higher...because I want to.

A/N: LISTEN TO THIS SONG AND TELL ME HOW AMAZING IT IS...PLEASE.
