(Yvonne’s POV )After Connor and I finish dancing we decide to go outside. There are about twenty people in the pool and Connor has decided it would take too long to go get his trunks. Now he's swimming shirtless in his boxers. I told him that I'd go run and put on my swimsuit and meet him down at the pool.I head into my room and pull out a paisley halter bikini top and matching bottoms. When I'm dressed I lay my dress out on my bed along with my heels. My window faces the back yard and I look out to see Connor messing around with the guys. Trish and Lily are already in bikinis and Trish is flirting with guys. I head out of my room and jog down the stairs.I walk over to Lily who is sipping on a cup. "HeyLily. What's up?" I sit down beside her and smile. f"Oh, just hoping I don't embarrass the hell out of myself." She lets out a giggle and a hiccup.I take the cup from her hand. "How many of these have you had?" I look in the cup and it's almost empty."Um, five?" I raise an eyebro
( Connor's P.O.V. )I saw Trish pull Yvonne out onto the deck and smile at how natural she looks. Trish starts to thank everyone for being here, but I just watch Yvonne.She's smiling and staring out at everyone. I spare a quick glance at my watch. 11:55. My eyes look back up at Yvonne, who now doesn't look as happy.Everyone is looking at her with worried expressions, including myself. I try to push through the crowd, but just as soon as I get to the deck, she takes off. I don't think twice before dashing after her.What is she thinking? I ask myself. She's running pretty much in a straight line. I see her try to look behind herself, but I'm hidden by the night.Normally wolves move without being seen in the night, yet she looks like she is practically glowing. A scent fills my nose as I watch her stop. She looks around and I immediately hide behind a tree. I know the scent from training with my dad, and it never meant anything good. I look down at my watch again. 11:58. If I don't g
( Charlotte’s POV ) Today, I woke up with a bright smile on my face. I can clearly remember how Harris' and I's date went.I was very awkward around him at first. I couldn't be myself because my brain was pressuring me, but it did end on a good note. Harris was able to calm me before I'd break into a panic attack. I felt comfortable around him since then.Before we went back to class, I even teased him.Things were different, but it was a good difference.Unlike my brain, Harris was very considerate and gentle, which toned down the pressure I felt.It wasn't hard to connect with him because we came from the same background. We knew the same people even if I rarely went out. He also told me the story as to how everything started, from the days his feelings developed until he finally dared to ask my father.Jasmine lazily looks at me while she lays on my bed, feet sprawled all over, "Judging by the look on your face, you're replaying what happened yesterday."What? No," I say with a sh
"Don't mind them Charll, they're just jealous." Axel pats my back, and gives me a reassuring smile.Jealous is an understatement.I kind of feel clueless to what's going on and around. I feel like I'm judging everybody without knowing them personally, and that's terribly wrong. We are all different individuals with different personalities, so we should never judge a person by their looks or by their gestures.I've been judging everyone here. The worst part is when I don't even know them personally."Let's just set it aside. I don't want bad energy,surrounding us. It's bad." We silently walk to the field.The grass is green, which makes the field more comfortable to play on.The boys stood at the field, some send smug looks at our direction. They are properly dressed for the game, unlike the last time. They all wore different outfits for different sports, and some weren't even wearing cleats.The boys stood up with pride, as usual, nothing seems to change about their attitudes."Hello
(Charlotte’s POV)"Reddox," The king greets with an appealing smile. "Oh, I'm sorry to bother your private conversation." Alpha Reddox says with a gruff voice. He's a big-muscular man, and may I add, scary. He looks like a tower.He makes me feel small. Oh wait, I am small."Take a seat Reddox. We have so much to catch up on." The headmaster gestures him to sit on one of the sofa chairs in his office. Alpha Reddox takes a seat, but it takes him a while to adjust because of his huge size.He's got big booty."I think we should talk, privately." Alpha Reddox says, his eyes looking back at Axel and me.We both stand up, and silently walk out the door.Well, that's what you call an 'awkward-situation'. Axel and I continue to walk silently to our half empty dorm building. I'm sure by Monday,- next week--new students will fill our building and the other building."Can I sleep over, tonight?""Sure, but we're having a Disney Movie Marathon today." Axel wraps an arm around my shoulder giving
(Charlotte’s POV)When Axel was walking up to us, then he slowly tripped on the little book cart. The book cart fell over and a large bang was heard throughout the whole floor, each echo made it subtly smaller throughout the background."Shit" Axel silently cursed he got up and walked back to the book cart. He silently glared at it, due to the books that flew over out of the book cart.Benny and I chuckled at how clumsy Axel was.Once Axel got back to the small table, which honestly didn't fit the two welled built men in the small chair, Axel held two sheets of paper that were freshly printed out."What did you find?" I query him, "I found out that-""That Alpha Reddox is the 'Used to Be' King and Queens' son" Benny says, "Wait what" I say, all wide eyed."Yes, the King and Queen before used to have a son" He says quietly, "They made sure that Alpha Reddoxs' life was pure misery, they made sure that they didn't treat him like their son." He hardly pushed the book so fast it chugged to
Alpha Reddox made it look clear that he's making me solve a riddle. I'm defenseless, I'm stronger, and that everyone will praise me. I'm not so sure of myself, or is it just Alpha Reddox, putting up my hopes to a state that I'd believe I would possibly shift.I honestly didn't want to hear him, but this urge keeps pushing me up forwards. It hurts, hurts that I'd actually fall for a dream that could never happen. I'm scared that he's saying lies, giving me no will to regain myself if I put my hopes up and believed."Could you just tell me?" I pondered, querying him because he's irritating me already."I'm not sure what you are, but your eyes, they shine so bright than the actual color." He looked straight through me, globing my eyes as if they held all my emotions inside. "My eyes are the same, there's nothing wrong with them. They look dull and unpleasing to me Alpha Reddox." I say, giving him a confused look."I see it, it turns differently. It's like they over take the color of your
( Yvonne's P.O.V. )After last night I woke up smiling. Sure, the headmaster had come in and scolded me, but I didn't care about any of that. Connor had kissed me. That's what I care about.I hear Trish and Lily talking outside my door and decide to let them in. "Well good morning girls." I say as I open the door.Trish turns to look at me and smiles. "Morning. It's time for you to explain last night." Well she cut to the point.I lead her over to my bed and she sits down. "Now, when I say this, I want you to promise not to tell anyone else." She nods. "Alright. I'm going to say this slowly. My wolf is not a wolf. She's a tiger." Trish turns to Lily expecting her to laugh, but she doesn't.Trish's eyes look back at mine and they're clouded with confusion. "A tiger?" Are the only words she can muster."Yes, a tiger, or well tigress. She's very adamant about being called a tigress." I point out.Trish shakes her head. "I don't believe you." Her arms cross over her chest and she glares a
( Sophia’s POV )No more! I am going to be turning eighteen soon and I will NOT allow myself to endure my family's abuse anymore!"We need to hurry, your brother is coming." My wolf, Krystle tells me.I quickly zip up my backpack and place the straps over my shoulders as I make my way to my bedroom window, that's located on the second floor. I sit on the ledge before jumping down and landing on my feet. As soon as I stand up, I overhear my father yelling out to everyone to find me and bring me back to him. Which I can't let that happen, I know how bad the punishment will be and I already have enough scars and bruises to last me a lifetime.Immediately I start running as fast as I can into the dark woods, without knowing or even caring where I'm going. I just need to get as far away from all of them as possible.Once I feel that I've gotten far enough ahead to stop and catch my breath for a moment, I stop and start trying to look around, hoping I can somewhat see a path. But then Kryst
2 YEARS LATER ( Epilogue)(Yvonne’s POV)My heart's beating fast, butterflies are going crazy all over my stomach. I try to breathe in and out a few times to try and calm my nerves. The anticipation is overwhelming as I prepare to take this momentous step in my life. Today is the day I marry the love of my life, Connor.I look at Lily, my bridesmaid, as she opens up the door and her eyes meet mine. A wave of excitement washes over her face, and she can't contain her joy as she closes the door behind her. She stands beside me, our eyes locked through the mirror reflection."Are you ready?" she asks, her voice filled with genuine enthusiasm."I think so," I reply, my voice betraying a hint of nervousness."You look beautiful," Lily reassures me, her sincerity shining through. "And trust me, Connor loves you. I guarantee he's gonna cry when you start walking down the aisle."Her words offer solace and encouragement. I take a deep breath, feeling a surge of confidence building within me.
A few years ago, I never would've expected to be walking towards the leaders of the world, and talk about my biggest secret. Now, I'm walking confidently down the corridor, ready to face the most prominent men and women across the world. I would've thought of this as terrifying all those years ago.Instead, I'm relieved. I no longer have to hide what I really am. So, as I walk into the crowded room, I don't cringe out of fear. No. I march in with confidence, and stand with all of my friends, ready to take the next step in my life.Out of the sea of faces, only one stands out to me, Edna. The second I stop walking, the room begins to kneel. It's like a wave, person after person, dropping to their knees. "Why is everyone bowing?" I ask Lily, who's to my left.She merely shrugs, just as confused as me. "I'm guessing they realize what you are, and are showing you that they don't question your claim nor title, but I'm not them."I stare at them as they bow. It's unnerving. "You don't have
Last night, I slept as peacefully as someone can when told they're the biological daughter of the goddess of the sun. It took no time to fall asleep, but my dreams were shrouded in images of Solis. A language I didn't understand drifted through my mind, and flames would burn it away. I didn't wake up too long ago, but I can tell by the lack of light seeping from behind the curtains, it's still very early.Connor is sleeping peacefully beside me, his soft snores are a sure sign he's still asleep. My body is snugly fit into his, and my head is resting on his chest.For some reason, I don't want to be awake alone, so I place a small kiss on his shoulder, then his left cheek, followed by his right. "Mmmmm." Connor shifts beneath me, groaning slightly as he stretches. His eyes open slowly and he smiles up at me. "Morning baby." Connor's arm wraps tighter around my waist pulling me closer. His eyes shut closed again and I snuggled into him. "Can't sleep?" I nod and he chuckles softly. "I w
As Connor suggested, I search for Lily and Desmond.I find them chatting in a corner, snuggled into each other.When Lily sees me, she smiles brightly. "Yvonne! Where's Connor?" She looks around and I chuckle."He's being Connor. He felt the need to check on my security with Hunter, so he sent me to come hang out with you two until he's done." Lily gives me a knowing smile."Connor just can't let up, even for one night? Who would attack you here? We're surrounded by the most powerful people in the world. Anyone crazy enough to come after you is suicidal." Desmond says, still not fully aware of the fact that I have died, and quite possibly can die again.I simply shake my head and sit down. Lily pats his shoulder and takes a seat beside me.Eventually Connor returns, but he's still tense."Everything alright?" I ask as I stand to greet him.He nods in a stiff manner. "Yes, but I don't feel as if it is." I lean up to kiss his cheek and force him to look at me with my hands."Let Hunter
**Recap**( Charlotte’s POV )I stared at my loose chains. I had finally got them loose and it took at least a half hour. I just hope they don't notice that it's loose.My hands are still burning from the silver but I had to bear with it. If I saw Broken Dean again I would immediately shift into my wolf and attack."I'm ready, are you?" I whispered."Yeah..." He trailed off silently.We both quietly waited for them to "supposedly" kill us. They're probably thinking of ways on how.The wait didn't take long. The goons entered our cell like they owned the place. They unlocked our chains from the locks on the wall and pushed us out with them holding onto our chains.They led us out in the field. There was a bon fire at the middle along with five people."You're going to enjoy your deaths. It's going to be so painful." The man said. He laughed, "No one will kill us after we're indestructible!""Shut up and bow down to our leader!"The people follow the yeller, all bowing down to Broken De
~~Dylan's POV~~ She's gone..... I can't believe she's really gone.I've been sitting on the floor, pressed into the hard wall with my head in my hands. Looking up, I see Cameron, pain etched on his face, sitting across from me in one of the hard, green chairs with the rest of our friends and family in the Hospital waiting room.All of us jump to our feet, when Mum and Dad come out of Olivia's room, tears streaming down both their faces. Father nods, singling that others can go in. We decided that Cameron should be the first one to go in, since he is Olivia's mate and he was eager to do so but he solemnly said that I should go in first since I'm her twin brother.I take in a deep breath and let it out, rubbing my hands on my jeans and pushing the thoughts to the back of my head.As I walk in through the door of her private room, I take another breath and turn the corner."Arrh, why don't they have anything decent on the TV and when's lunch, I'm hungry." I hear a female voice complain.
Olivia woke up to feel of little circles being drawn on her back and electricity running through her body where the fingers traced. Immediately she knew it was Cameron so she turned her face to look at him and saw that he was sitting up on his side, looking day at her as if she was the only person in the world.He couldn't believe that she was finally his in every way and neither could Olivia. They were each others world and nothing was going to break them apart."Morning Cam," Olivia greeted in a sleepy voice."Morning love. How are you feeling?" He asked as his fingers continued to dance around her back."Good. Amazing actually." Olivia said as her face lit up when she remembered what happened last night and blush covered her cheeks.They looked each other in the eye and started leaning in, before their lips touched Cameron whispered "I love you""Ditto," Olivia replied and their lips met cause instant fireworks.Cameron pulled her closed and the deepened thekiss.5 minutes later a
It's been weeks since word got around about Olivia's sister still being alive and It's all everyone talks about. Apart from that, there has been more sightings of rogues, no ones dies but they have received some message saying things like 'we're watching you' and 'tick-tick-tick, times running out'. But the biggest one was a dozen black Olivias delivered to Olivia with a note attached saying 'you thought your sister had it worse, still does but just you wait till we get our hands on you". That was the last straw for everyone, school was cancelled and instead we are made to train and fight for 8 hours a day. Cameron has practically moved into Olivia's room saying that he needed to be always with her and Headmaster Dean has allowed it.It's no joke... Straight after the flowers were delivered to Olivia, Cameron went to Headmaster Dean's office, told him about the Olivias and note, then said he would be moving into Olivia's room after their talk and Headmaster Dean's reply was......"oka
