Chapter: Chapter fourteen: Her indifferenceKendra opened her eyes to see her adoptive parents hovering over her face, and the doctors poking around in places they shouldn’t. “Is there a problem?” Her voice cold, hoarse and weak shattered the silence in the sterile room, alerting everyone to her wakefulness. Her mother was the first to react. She looked up eyes wide, wet with tears and excitement. “You are awake!” She exclaimed the obvious in a soft voice.Kendra nodded, then asked. “What happened?” She looked from her mother to her father who stood off to the side watching her intently.Kendra couldn’t read the Alpha’s expression. His impassive mask made her squirm a little bit, though she fronted a brave face in the face of his stoic expression.Without reading her father’s face she knows he is angry with her about something. The Alpha always goes this cold and expressionless when he is mad at her for something.“You were attacked by rogues,” the Alpha answered, his flat and cold tone causing Kendra to wince inside. She r

Chapter: Chapter thirteen : She is awakeWhat happened?” Nate curiously questioned, his green eyes gleaming with excitement. He was always keen on a bit of girl gossip.Meredith and Adira turned their heads in unison, muttering like conjoined twins, “None of your business.”The other guys chuckled, while Nate glared at the girls, though there was no real anger in his eyes.Just then, the Alpha and the Luna walked into the room. The laughter stopped instantly as the young ones straightened their postures, trying to appear serious. They avoided eye contact with their leaders, except for Adira, who met her parents’ curious gazes head-on.“Mum, Dad,” she greeted softly, stepping away from Jake.The Alpha’s piercing gaze swept over the group, finally settling on Jake. “What are you all doing here? Why aren’t you at school?” he asked. His tone wasn’t scolding, just mildly curious.The friends exchanged glances, silently deciding to let Jake take the lead in responding.A little intimidated by the Alpha’s commanding presence, Jake

Chapter: Chapter Twelve: Weird Feelings Kendra hesitated, her gaze fixed on the grassy ground beneath her feet. Her expression betrayed the thoughtfulness reserved for someone wrestling with feelings they’d rather ignore.Her parents recognized the look immediately. Kendra had never been good at hiding her emotions. As a child, every feeling she had was plain to see. If she was happy, the whole world knew it. If she was sad, her tears came unbidden. And if she was angry—oh, there was no mistaking it.“Who is he?” Kendra’s mother asked gently, her tone soft and tender. There was only one reason why her child would look this troubled: if she loved someone but wasn't sure of her feelings. Kendra didn’t look up. A knot of fear twisted in her stomach. How could she possibly admit the truth? That her mate wasn’t a “he” but a “she.” Her mate was her adopted sister, and she is in love with her, even though she always denies it to herself. When her father saw how much his daughter struggled to out her feelings, he decided to ease

Chapter: Chapter Eleven: The place between the living and the dead“Mum! What’s happening?” Adira cried, her voice trembling with fear as her wide eyes locked onto her sister’s writhing body. Her mother turned to respond, but something incredible unfolded before the words could escape her lips. Her sister suddenly stilled, as if Adira’s voice alone had quelled the storm within her. Everyone froze, a shocked look on their faces. “What happened?” Adira’s father asked, his voice carrying the question that echoed in everyone’s mind. Everyone looked clueless, including Adira. She was unaware that her sister's wolf responded to her voice. “Mum, what happened?” Adira repeated, her voice laced with worry as her eyes locked onto her mother. Her sister might be calm now, but she didn't look out of danger. “Your sister has been poisoned with silver,” her mother said grimly. “Her wolf is trying to purge it from her system.” Adira gasped, her eyes widening. Silver poisoning is as dangerous to wolves as it is to humans, only worse with wolves as

Chapter: Chapter Ten: Cranky MorningAdira quickly sat up in her bed, heart racing, her blonde hair disheveled from sleep. Her sleep last night was a restless one, filled with nightmares of the past events and losing her sister. Adira swept her slender fingers through her blonde hair, willing her heart to stop pounding, as she affirmed to herself that her sister would be alright. She got down from her queen-size bed, her tiny feet slipping into her bedroom slippers—pink, thick foam slippers with the big ears of a cat on top of them. She moved into her bathroom, turned on the tap, and bent over to splash water on her face. The chilled water helped jog her to a full wakefulness. She raised her wet face to look at the mirror nailed to the wall above her, her hands pressed on the cool white surface of the sink. She stared at her reflection in silence. Her green eyes looked sad and tired. She didn't like what she saw in the mirror and felt slightly bothered, so she walked away. Before she entered the shower s

Chapter: Chapter nine: Ruckus on the way homeMeredith broke the silence in the car a few minutes into their drive home. She couldn't hold her piece any longer. “Why the fuck does Adira’s mum think you guys are mates?!” Meredith demanded, her tone high-pitched and annoyed, laced with jealousy. She sat at the back of Jake’s car with Nate and Dylan, slender arms folded against her chest, leg crossed at the knees, while she glared at Jake and Adira. She hated the fact that everyone thought of them as mates when they were not, and this made it difficult for her to pursue Jake. Why the fuck couldn't Adira have found her mate, she hissed in her mind while she waited for a response. Jake looked at Adira, who sat beside him as he drove. He smiled when he noticed the blonde was asleep. “Give it a rest, Meredith,” Dylan whispered to the red-haired beside him. The Luna’s words had shocked him as well, but he knew how much his best friend liked the little blonde, so if they wanted to pretend to be mates, he didn't mind, though he wo
