Accalia is a female alpha, a very rare thing in the werewolf world. After killing her hateful and abusive father and taking over the alpha position, Accalia struggles to keep her pack out of harm's way and take care of her three younger sisters.
In...
My alarm clock blares in my ear but I don't move to turn it off. I turn over onto my back and stare at the ceiling. Wednesday, September 28. The day my father killed my mother.
It's different every year. The first year I woke up and sobbed, a couple of years later I destroyed my room. This year I just feel numb, like life was sucked out of me and I don't feel anything related to any emotions. Cal reaches over me and turns the blaring clock off.
He doesn't speak and just rubs my arm, knowing I just need him to be there for me. After a good twenty minutes, I get up and walk to Hess's room I find her curled up in a ball on her bed, tears slipping silently down her face. I walk over and get under the covers, holding her against me.
"How about you just stay home today, we can have a movie day," I mumble into her hair.
She nods weakly and turns around in my arms, hugging me. I stroke her hair as I stare at the wall, no thoughts running through my head for a change, just blissful silence.
Cal, can you get Danu and Zach ready for school, please? Hess is gonna stay home today.
Of course sweetheart
I cut the link and hug Hess closer to my chest, letting her tears soak my shirt. We lay in her bed, just cuddling even after I hear the front door open and close.
Hess ends up crying herself back to sleep so I get up carefully, making sure she doesn't wake up. I walk downstairs to the kitchen and make her waffles with syrup and whipped cream on top. I put the waffles in the microwave to keep them warm. I grab the scotch from above the fridge, pour myself a glass, and down it in one go. I put the bottle back and wash the glass, putting it away.
I walk back upstairs and wake her up gently, telling her I made waffles.
"What movie do you want to watch first?" I ask as she eats.
"How to train your Dragon and then the second one and then the third one. Oh, and if it's alright I was wondering if I could get a haircut?" She says, stuffing a bite of waffles into her mouth.
"Yeah, you can get a haircut. What were you thinking of getting?" I ask.
She pulls out her phone and shows me a picture.

^^^ the haircut and if you want this is what you can imagine she looks like, just a bit more tan (Minus the lip piercing)
"Damn... you're gonna look hot Hess," I say high-fiving her.
She smiles and finishes her waffles.
"I'll make a hair appointment and get the movie started. You can grab the blankets and popcorn, okay?" She nods excitedly and puts her plate in the sink.
