Chapter: My Best Friend’s Brother. (ISABELLA’S POV)It had been a week since the incident. By the incident, I mean the one that signalled the end of the nightmare. The day we had obtained an implicating recording of Hilary and Dave with the help of Tiara.Things were slowly beginning to settle down and get back to normal. My punishments had been reduced a little. I was still grounded but I was allowed to go out for a few hours a day.School which had been my most feared place was better than I had expected and hoped for. Brad and Olivia never left my side. Everyone knew the whole story now and as the days passed, their whispers and glances at us disappeared in to thin air. On this particular day, I felt great. My day at school was almost normal except for the bugging thought of Hilary that occasionally came to my mind.I had not seen her since that incident and I would not see her until the day I do in court. A day, I wasn’t looking forward to but was prepared to.I was at home reading a novel and laid back on my be

Chapter: Dave’s Story. (BRAD’S POV)I sighed gathering enough courage and then I knocked on the door briskly. After a short moment, I rang the doorbell also and stepped back patiently.“Good afternoon. How may I help you please?” A maid dressed in black and white uniform was the one who answered the door.“I’m here to see Dave please.” I said.Just as the maid opened her mouth to answer me, someone emerged from the hallway.“What the hell are you doing here?” Dave’s angry voice came before his face came in to view.His hair looked rough and his clothes looked rumpled. He looked like he was going through hell.“I came to see you because I want to talk to you.” I said stepping in to the house.Dave glared at me but I was surprised to see that he didn’t tell me to get out as I took another step forward.“So what is it? What exactly do you want to say to me? You want to laugh at me? Mock me because I’ll be going to Jail soon?” He asked and the anger was evident in his voice.“I did not come to mock you.” I said

Chapter: The Lovers Reconciliation (ISABELLA’S POV)I wished that morning time would come as soon as possible but time seemed to be slower than ever. For the longest time it was only eleven thirty pm and I had no idea why sleep was not coming to me. I wanted so much to see Brad and I don’t know how I managed to wait till this time.The sound of a rattle at my window pane made me shake. I jumped to my feet again when I heard the sound at the window again. I had no doubt that it was Brad and when I pushed the curtains aside, his face warmed me up. He was downstairs and beckoning me to come too. I contemplated for a split second and then threw on a robe before heading downstairs.I went out as carefully as I could and dashed to the back where Brad was waiting for me. “Hey.” He said taking my hand in his.My heart felt so warm and I felt so happy. I hugged him immediately and he was stiff with shock at first but then he hugged me back tightly. There was something about his hugs that made me never want to leave. It mad

Chapter: The Friendships Reconciliation!(OLIVIA’S POV)“Where are you going? Have you forgotten that you are grounded?” Mum asked interrupting me as I whistled and walked majestically to the door.“Oh. I know. I’m just going next door to apologize to Chris, Victoria and Bella.” I said with a hopeful smile.Mum rolled her eyes at me and then carried on with what she was doing which was setting flowers in a vase. I guess that meant I could carry on. Yes, I was grounded with a lot of limitations to phone, Tv and social events. After our hearty reconciliation last night, the punishments were next for Brad and I.Today is also the last day I’m allowed to skip school until I graduate. I guess my parents and Bella’s parents agreed on that since last night had been a whole lot.I was still whistling as I walked down the pathway leading to the Martinez house but then I noticed a black Camry car slowing down close to me.A sense of fear gripped me and I could not help but wonder if it was Hilary or Dave and if they were back to dea

Chapter: The Johnsons Family Reconciliation. (BRAD’S POV)I watched the closed door weakly. What did Dave mean by the things he had just said?. The look in his eyes seemed so intense, there had to be some meaning in his words.“Hey.” Bella’s soft voice pulled me out of my thoughts and I turned to see her wearing a weak smile.“Hey.” I replied softly .Seeing her ever beautiful face refreshed me and I felt as relieved as ever to know that we would be able to keep those videos away from the eyes of everyone.Bella was pulling me away with her and I could see that the police officers were making their way to Dave’s front door.I’m sure our parents had explained the situation and why they had to take action.“Hey.” Bella said again and her hand cupped my cheek briefly with affection. “Are you okay?” Her eyes searched mine earnestly.I managed a smile at her.“Yes. I think I’m okay.” I said and then I shook my head. “I know I’m okay. Everyone knows how we feel about each other and we dealt with the dark part of this whole thing.”The

Chapter: The Last Special Chapter!!(THIRD PERSON’S POV)Hilary cursed all the way from Tiara’s house as they were driven to Brad’s. Tiara hated that she had to keep her face in an encouraging mood, she hated that she had to join and speak to Hilary by cursing out Dave even more and she was thankful that she was one who spent most of her time tapping at her phone. It helped her to escape some of the conversations.Thankfully, Hilary was not one who noticed the emotions of others and she was so busy thinking of herself that she didn’t notice her friend’s forced attitude.“I’ll show the damned fool! He must be thinking I don’t have anything on him, but I do.” Hilary said storming out of the car the moment it was parked out in front of Dave’s house.She hurried up the front porch with Tiara trailing after her after quickly as she made sure her recording was starting.The door was opened by one of the maids of the house whom Hilary pushed aside rudely and stormed upstairs.She banged on Dave’s door countlessly and she fume

Chapter: Rachel Shaughnessy’s Fury!(ATLAS’S POV)Just as I expected, my parents were waiting for me as I made my way in to the house. I was headed straight for my room even though I knew that they wouldn’t let me, but I mean is there really anything wrong with giving it a try?“Atlas!” Andres my older brother called on my way up the second floor and I turned to see him leaned against the door of my dad’s private study.“Yes.” I answered grimly even though again, I really knew what he wanted.For me to come in and face whatever my parents had to say. Andres said but he also said nothing as he inclined his head towards the study room. I was expected to follow him as he turned around and walked back in so I did. Mum was pacing about looking the most angry I have ever seen her. Dad on the other hand was in his chair, cross legged with a grim, angry look on his face.Yup! I knew it, I was in trouble but I didn’t care. I was very happy about what I had done, in fact I felt lucky and fortunate that I had been able to do it

Chapter: He Loves Me!!(LANA’S POV) Beautiful words, Wrong Place. I thought as I stared at Atlas. I was overwhelmed with so many emotions that I did not know what exactly to say or do.I just stood frozen to the spot as tears just kept on streaming endlessly down my face and this time around, they were not tears of sorrow. I have never had someone defend me in that way, neither have I had someone say such beautiful things about me. I was lost in his actions and drowned by his words.He stood up to his mother and said these words right in front of our parents. He was doing it for me.My heart was filled with so much joy and appreciation. Even after I sent him out of my room, he didn’t get angry with me.My thoughts were soon interrupted by Atlas’s mother who let out a dry cackle that did not reach her eyes at all. She stared back at him with disbelief in her eyes. “Is this some sort of joke?” She asked Atlas.“I’m not joking, Mum.” Her eyes widened slightly in shock and then a displeased look settled on

Chapter: The Parents Rant 2(LANA’S POV)It was like we were all in a boxing ring getting ready for an anticipated fight. Everyone seemed to be placed in strategic positions and I feared that things would heat up. Mum and Dad were visibly angry and Mrs Shaughnessy was obviously displeased as well. Mr Glass and I were the only ones who were not angry, we were uncomfortable and scared.I stood up to because everyone was standing and my body was shaking as tears crowded my eyes. Mr Glass was trying to conceal how stressed he was but I could sense it. He was uncomfortable but he was the first one to quickly voice his thoughts out slicing through the tension with a slight cough.“Why don’t we all sit down please? I promise we can talk about this better. We can settle this like grown, mature adults that we are.” He said with a shaky voice and a hopeful smile that fell flat amongst everyone in the room.No one even regarded him anymore. Mum and Nrs Shaughnessy were having a show down with their eyes. “I guess you a

Chapter: The Parents Rant!(LANA’S POV)“We’re sorry, Lana.” Daisy whispered at me before she and Paige walked the opposite direction and I followed my parents to the principal’s office.I was not angry at my friends as I just said, disappointed maybe. We did not said a word to each other as the three of us sat down at the backseat of my dad’s car. I was too hurt to even say anything.Now, I felt more anxious as we followed the administrative building pathway that led us to the principal’s office.“You should be happy with your friends, Lana. They care about.” Dad tried. “They did not want that woman to walk all over you and that is why they came to tell us what was going on.”I nodded my head stiffly but I was not even paying close attention to what he was saying. I was thinking of what was going to happen once we were in the principal’s office.The secretary looked up with a polite smile which became shaky on her lips once she saw mum and dad’s expressions.“We are here to see Mr Glass, the principal. Is he i

Chapter: Early Morning Drama!!(LANA’S POV)It seemed like my parents were getting angrier as the days went by. The next morning, I did not get the usual knock on my door telling me to hurry down for breakfast. I really don’t blame them, if I was them, I would be very angry with me as well .I encouraged myself by doing some morning affirmations while looking at myself in the mirror. I knew that a stressful day awaited me and I had to get myself ready for it.After taking a deep sigh, I got my backpack and led myself out of the room and down the hall. As I approached, I heard voices coming from the living room.My heart started racing as I thought about all the possible people who could come to my house this morning. The top of my list had to be Mrs Shaughnessy. Perhaps she found out that Atlas came to see me last night and it made her very furious. Maybe she was here to force me in to taking explication as my option. My throat was dry and my heart was racing as I walked towards the living room carefully with th

Chapter: Just Leave Please!(ATLAS’S POV)Alana sobbed in my arms for a long time. It felt like my heart was breaking with each sob.I held her to myself trying not to tighten my grip, so I didn’t hurt her.I was angry, I missed her so much!She withdrew back suddenly and started to wipe her face gently with her hands. Then she got off to the bed and got herself a napkin that was on her reading table.“You can’t just come in here whenever you like, you know?” She said to me.Her voice was tired but angry as well.I crossed over to her but she moved backwards. Her eyes were flashing in hurt and anger,“I waited for you! I waited for a message from you!” She said trying not to choke back. “I tried to get to you. I sent my young brother with -““No, Stop please.” She said gently but with a firm command so stern that I felt the words hanging on my tongue. “I would like for you to just leave my room, please.” She said to me.I could see that she was looking down and she was avoiding my eyes.“I had no way of gettin

Chapter: The Guardian Angel.(BRAD’S POV)“Nah! Hell No dude!” Rico, Henry’s cousin said as he shook his head and tried to close the door he had only held open for some seconds. His eyes had initially been wearing a smile when he saw Henry but immediately he saw Bella, his expression changedz“Rico Please.” Henry begged using his foot to hold the door open. “My wife is in there. Why the fuck are you bringing a dead girl over to my house? Are you crazy?” Rico said angrily as he came out and closed the door behind him after pushing Henry backwards. “She’s not dead! She’s only drunk!” I said immediately. Rico stayed unmoving with his eyes just watching Bella as she lay in my arms . “Please Rico, we don’t have anywhere else to go. We would be in so much trouble if we go to anyone else for help.” Henry begged. Bella started muttering to herself and that seemed to make Rico feel better about it.“You owe me big time. You know what that means.” Rico said as he signaled us to follow him.“He wants some cash.” Henry

Chapter: Do You Trust Me?(ANNIE’S POV)“Well I really think that you should not be listening to what anyone says.” Jessica said as we walked home.By anyone, she was actually referring to Keeper Tana.“And If Janelle was the one who had won the match and you had been carried out looking like a dead leaf, then I know that she would not have complained.” Jessica said.As much as I was feeling guilty, I had to admit that Jessica was actually right. Keeper Tana was being very partial towards me. During the last match we had, she was the one who had subjected me to an open fight without letting me agree, that’s not among the rules to begin with.Then on top of that, she did not even show the slightest bit of care “I don’t know why she doesn’t lien me.” I admitted to Jessica.“Oh! You should not bother yourself, really.” Jessica said with a wave of her hand. “I don’t really think Tana likes anyone to begin with.”“Yeah I understand but she’s just so anti towards me.” I said sadly.“Well you should not let that br

Chapter: The Rematch!(ANNIE’S POV)The whole room was as silent as a graveyard and it was almost like no one was going to say a word. All their gazes had now focused on me. Even Keeper Tana looked like she was surprised to see that I stood up from my seat. “Annie. Please don’t let Janelle get to you. Annie.” Jessica tried to call me in a whisper but I did not listen to her. “I will be okay.” I whispered to her quickly.Then, I simply walked in ahead to stand opposite Janelle.Janelle was surprised as well at first but then a sly smile climbed on her face as she spun her hair in to bun. I did the same with my hair.“I have to say, I didn’t expect that you would be persistent. At least you have one thing above you that matches being a chosen one. As for me, Getting to beat you two times in one week?” Janelle said with a laugh. “That would be a Great pleasure for me .”“Annie, you should not let your ego get in between you. Sometimes we lose fights, sometimes we win.” I could hear Keeper Tana’s voice from

Chapter: Mate Attraction!(ANNIE’S POV)Grandma made sure that I spent two more days at home without going to school after my mate. She had seen some bruises on my body and was bent on making me spend time to recover properly at home.The only thing that made me sad about it was the fact that I had not gotten to see Jessica yet.Grandma said she wanted me to rest but she had no idea that I was still finding a way to keep practicing day and night. Nothing was going to stop me. Not even her strictness. So, when she finally let me out on the third day and inspected me as I got ready to leave for school, I hoped that she would not notice anything about my looks again.“You look well rested. I know it’s combat day today but please be careful.” She said to me giving me a hug.I actually felt excited to return back to school and when I saw Jessica, I was even more excited.“If i did not see you today, I was going to make sure that I killed Seth.” Jessica said as she slung her arm around me and we walked together to

Chapter: JEALOUSY!(VANE’S POV)The moment I got indoors, I dumped the bags on a table and let out a loud growl as I paced about the open space. I wanted to yell. I wanted to fight. I wanted to break things. I wanted to snap a tree in to two. How dare he? How dare he?“Young Alpha?” Lucian’s voice interrupted me and my thoughts.“Lucian.” I answered simply with a growl in my throat. I was truly not in a good moment and I really doubt that even Lucian could make me feel like talking to him. The older man walked closer to me carefully and looked around. Then I saw his eyes light up as they landed on the paper bags that I had just dumped on the table “You paid a visit to the diner? Did you go for me, because I know you hardly go there?” Lucian said as he walked over to the table to glimpse at the paper bags.I have no idea what the hell I had just bought. I only went in there because of Annie.I had paid a visit to her in her room but she was not there and so I had decided to trace her scent. I found

Chapter: The Date 2(ANNIE’S POV)As I brushed my hair gently and wore an Alice band, I could not help but think that I had not seen Alpha Vane recently. The last time I saw him was days ago, after the welcome party. The night I had read the book he had written. His own dark encounter of the war that took his family and his pack members .Seeing as he is someone who doesn’t like to express himself easily, I believe it must have been hard for him to open up to tell me that or maybe he was not coming around anymore because he simply wanted to make sure that I owned up to my responsibilities of being the Chosen one and since I was doing that, he wasn’t interested in coming around anymore.A little bit of disappointment gnawed at me from inside but I pushed it aside as grandma came in to my room.“Oh. You look pretty.” She said to me in admiration.“Thanks Grandma.” I said with a smile.I wouldn’t say that I look pretty. I mean not with that fresh red scar that was sitting below my lip, thanks to Janelle fo
