Trish is at another table, talking to some of the guards. She notices me and smiles before waving. A moment later she heads over to our table, plopping down beside Lily. "Morning sleepy heads. Finally decided to grace us with your presence?" She asks sarcastically. Her smirk says she knows something is up. "What kept you two so late?"I roll my eyes. "Connor and I didn't want to get out of bed." Trish nods, but doesn't stop smirking. So maybe we made out a little bit. Okay, a lot of it, but it was just making out this morning."Did you two get a chance to look through those books?" Lily asks us as she digs into her plate of food, which Desmond got her."No, we stayed up talking about the Senate. By the time we realized it was night time, it was too late." I lie smoothly. Connor sets a plate in front of me, then sits to eat his own.Ilook between our plates and notice a lot of meat on his, and not a lot on mine. I snitch three pieces of bacon from him, and all he does is smile at me
"CAN YOU TURN OFF THE MUSIC!" Cameron screamed angrily.Doing as he said she walked over to the speaker, grabbed her phone and turned the music off."Thank you," he exaggerated, "I've had to listen to it for an hour straight and it's driving me insane."Why is he acting like I'm a total stranger? Olivia thought to herself, does he not recognise me? He should, I mean he is looking right at me.."Did you just move into this hallway? This dorm?" He asked."Yep, move in today." She said, nodding her head."Well then, welcome to the hall. I live next door with two guys, how many live here?" he questioned further, playing with his hands as if her was anxious, which Olivia noticed he was doing the whole time. He was also looking towards the elevator constantly."Three including me," she answered, trying to keep the talk short. Olivia wanted to see how long this charade would last for because it was starting to get quite funny."Well, if you need any help, don't be afraid to come and knock on
( Yvonne’s POV )Just like before, everyone stands as I walk in. Once they all sit, I wait.I have no idea if I'm supposed to say anything, or just wait for one of them to speak. Thankfully, I don't have to ask because an older looking woman stands. "Tichela. Owl Shifter." She looks to someone. "Now, I agree that your disappearance the past three years is befuddling, but I will not judge based on a life or death situation." Her eyes zero in on me. "But we do have some questions." I nod, motioning for her to go on. "We accept your mother as proof that this so called curse can be reversed, but what we don't understand is how she was cured. This may not be a single event, and we must know how to resolve it when it appears." She says, calm, collected. Much different than the inside of my head, which is chaotic at best.What am I supposed to say? I can't tell the truth. I also can't lie. She is one tricky cookie. "Well, um." I look around the table, and I see nothing to help me.Philip
"I just wanted a little private time." He sits up and rubs his face. "You can come in Lily." I say as I sit up.Connor glares at her and she stops in her tracks."What did I do?" She asks, looking from him to me. "Connor." He plops back on the bed and I roll my eyes at him. "Nothing. He's just being moody. What did you find?"She gives Connor a glance before coming to sit beside me. "Nothing major, just some mentions of you. It seems like you are something the Sun and Moon goddess wanted to be created.""How so?" Lily opens the book and hands it to me, pointing at something."Technically, the Sun Goddess isn't strong enough to create a creature. She exerts too much of her energy controlling the sun. Her creations are a gift, from her sister, Lunae. Lunae gives her sister the power to create a creature in her own image. I'm guessing that she's only given her enough to create the tigress, but not enough to fully recreate her sister. I mean, you have to think. The sun gives everything e
Oh my goddess, it feels so good to get out and stretch my paws. If I didn't know any better, I would think it'd been months since the last time I was allowed to run as Solis.Eesh, saying her name is weird now. What if her name is only Solis because the Sun Goddess believes that I'm her most powerful creation? And if I am, then why did she want to create me? Not only her, but why would the Moon Goddess want me to come to fruition? I thought that would be a threat to her power? Unless there's something that she can't fix. Then having someone as powerful as her sister would solve her problems. She'd just send them all to me and, because I owe myself being created to her, I'll have to help.Ugh. All of this is too much. Now I'm not only worrying about my brother and pack, but also, why on earth I exist, what I was created for.The only conversation that I've ever had with the Sun Goddess, she told me I was her greatest creation. I don't want to believe Lily, but the more I think about i
Connor leads me back into the bedroom, tossing the invitation onto a small table. "We aren't going." "I would love to agree with you, but it's the perfect opportunity to get more people to listen. I feel like I need to communicate more with them, maybe I can convince some of them that helping is the right choice. Anything is better than nothing, and right now, I'm pretty sure we're working with nothing." Connor takes a breath to say something, but then lets out a sigh.He walks towards the bed and stands in front of me. "It's not that I don't want this to succeed, but I feel like this just isn't our thing. We don't do large parties and gatherings."I nod. "We dont, but maybe we should. It benefits us to attend. It also gives everyone else a chance to relax, and have fun. We shouldn't pass it up just because we normally don't do these kinds of things." He kneels down in front of me, his head being level with mine."Alright. We'll go. I trust you to make the right decisions." He kisses
( Charlotte’s POV )I feel the sunlight burning my face. Oh dear lord, it's too early. Where's the fucking moon when you need it? Damn you sun!Squinting, I groaned as the burning light hit my eyes."What the?! Maddox! Why are the blinds open?!" I yell. I shield myself from the light and sit up from Maddox's bed. "Maddox, where are you?" I yell.All I hear is the tic of the clock. I don't sense Maddox's presence anywhere."Maddox?" I erratically jumped out of his bed."Maddox?" My breathing hoists up. No. This isn't what I think it is. He can't do this to me."Maddox?" I call for his name repeatedly. He'll come back. I know he will. I shuffle around his dorm room with a panicked face. Going back to his bedroom I look for his phone and find it in its exact spot. It's where he always keeps it.I frustratingly comb my hand through my hair.Scrolling through Maddox's contact I select his dad's number. I press the phone to my ear and silently pray that everything's okay."Maddox?" Alpha R
( Olivia’s POV )Pulling her into a hug, he placed his face into the crook of Olivia's neck and inhaled deeply several times, "Olivia! God I missed you so much, I thought something bad had happened to you when you didn't come to Morning tea, then classes and lunch. It was the same for the other guys, god I'm so glad you're okay."Rubbing her hands up and down his back she whispered comforting comments into his ear, which caused him to shiver in pleasure as her hot breath hit his neck. He pulled back minutes later and looked ather."Wha--but your-- you-hair--huh" Cameron stammered, staring at Olivia with googly-eyes and his mouth open wide.Raising her arm she placed her hand under his mouth and said, "close your mouth or you'll catch flies."Smirking at him when he had a sheepish look on hisface."Sorry, you just look so different I didn't recognise you," he said, "b- but it's not a bad difference, a good difference. I like it, it suits you." He exclaimed, trying to clear his meanin
