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: What do you want, Alana?!(LANA’S POV)There was a moment of pure silence passing through the atmosphere as the boys simply stared at me. The butler narrowed his eyes at me and at them, he could very easily sense that there was some sort of strange thing going around.Then as if snapping out of his thoughts at once, Atlas stood up and walked towards me. Each step he took made my heart beat faster as I struggled to maintain holding his gaze. He was dressed only in shorts and his well framed physique was very obvious in the daylight.He got to me keeping his eyes deeply on mine.“That will be all, Jameson.” He said ajd just as I was starting to wonder who Jameson was, the butler gave a ‘yes sir’ before turning around to take his leave.My eyes could not help but wander to Atlas’s broad chest which seemed to glisten under the sunlight with obvious stains of water on him. I swallowed a lump in my throat as flashes from our last union took place in my head.“I guess you came all the way here to feed your eyes.” He

Chapter: Lana’s Comeback!My friends didn’t lie when they said they would help me get over Atlas. We spent the next few days having fun and being in school together. We had lunch at the bleachers instead of the cafeteria, they made sure that I was almost always occupied with books, we went out a lot and I have to say that it helped me to feel better.I have been watching Atlas as well as haboring feelings for him for years now and to withdraw was not something that was easy. But I was determined and so I put in extra effort.I made a submission to the management of academics requesting for a change in my schedules and time tables. Since I am a perfect score student who has never been in trouble, it was not hard to get what I wanted which was to avoid seeing Atlas in my classes.At night I thought about him before going to bed, sometimes I cried but I stayed strong. It went on that way for some time.Then, Friday came and I was in bed exchanging texts with my friends in our shared group chat.The next day was

Chapter: No More Atlas(LANA’S POV)My friends stared wide eyed at me like they had just experienced an encounter with a ghost. I stood shocked as well, unable to make words out.They were the last people that I expected to see now and I thought to myself that they must have been worried and come after me.I wondered how long they had been here, what they had seen and if they had heard anything at all. But with such shocked looks on their faces, I knew for a fact that they had a good idea of my secret.I knew it without a doubt.————————————————————————————“Oh my goodness!” Daisy exclaimed for what seemed to be like the hundredth time.“Can you stop saying that?” Paige said tiredly.Her voice sounded way more balanced than Paige but looking at her, one could see that her expression was not so far fetched. She looked like she had been shaken from the story I had just told them.We were all huddled up on my bed, in my room and admist tears, I had relaid most of all that had happened between Atlas and I.Yes

Chapter: Heartbreak In The Hallway! One of the first things that I had ever noticed about Atlas Shaughnessy was how almost cold, expressionless and distant he seemed to be. But when he left me all alone in that huge mansion, i felt his icy attitude for the very first time. It sucked everything from me and drained my energy and confidence. Exactly ten minutes after he had left, the sound of the doorbell jarred me out of my heartbroken and sober state.I had worn my clothes but still remained seated in the bedroom as if waiting somehow for him to reappear. For one second, I had even hoped he was the one at the door, but it was the driver, just as he had told me, an expressionless young man with the figure and aura of a bodyguard. I was driven and dropped off with an emptiness and the broken memories of his fingers and lips all over me.I was plunged in to an unfamiliar place of pain and sadness, one that made sleep almost impossible that night.My mind was swirling in a turmoil of sorrow and the thoughts of what could h

Chapter: The Broken Rule. (LANA’S POV)Each strength I had crumbled within me when he looked at me in such an intense way. His tone was authoritative and strong enough to stir up more emotions than I ever imagined.We were so close to each other but I wanted to be even closer to him. So I raised my hands up and let my palms rest on his chest. He watched me intensely as if waiting for what I would do. I closed my eyes thinking of all my imaginations and night dreams, when I opened them again, I raised my self higher standing on my tip toes as I let my lips brush gently over his.I bit his lower lip and he moaned giving me access to slip my tongue in to his mouth. Kissing him overwhelmed me with such intense want.My hands moved over his body gently but firmly as I enjoyed the hardness of his skin. I kissed him so deeply with all my might and desire. Then I reached for his shirt and slipped my hands under raising it higher as I stepped back for a break to take his shirt over his head.I stared at the marvelous

Chapter: Show Me!(ATLAS’S POV)Alana was acting icy cold when we got in to the house. She had been acting that way all the way through the drive and till now. I couldn’t help but wonder if she was mad at me for calling her a nerd last night or because of what happened between that male dude and I.“So are you going to say what’s wrong?” I asked watching her take a seat on the Chaise Lounge.I was standing with my arms straightened out beside me and my eyes solely fixed on her. “Nothing is wrong.” She said but she still wasn’t looking at me.“Then why won’t you look at me?” I asked her.She seemed to take a deep breath and then she turned to look at me.Her blue eyes struck me as they always do and I found comfort in starring at that pretty face. “There is nothing wrong.” She said holding my eyes.I had to admit that Alana was so much more than I had ever expected. By a lot more, I mainly mean stubborn.I walked towards her and her eyes narrowed while she turned her face away also.I crouched so I c

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
