I hung my head like a dying flower as hot tears threatened to spill from my eyes. Then I raised my eyes up to the ceiling for a moment and exhaled.
Today is the coming of age and mate-checking ceremony in the East High Pack. It was meant to be beautiful and romantic like Valentine's Day, as humans call it but it wasn't for me. Well, the thing is everyone in my class had a partner to dance with, except me. But do you know what hurts the most? Watching the boy I had been crushing on since sophomore year twirl my best friend across the dance floor.
Her eyes sparkled as she wore a silly grin while he had a cocky smile on his face. Jealousy shot straight through my heart as I wondered if I'd ever be more than just the girl in the background. Then the tears came again. Unable to resist this time, I raced to the bathroom.
“Omg!” a girl glared at me. “Watch where you are going!”
“Sorry sorry” I shuffled through the crowd and dashed away from the scene. My face was covered in humiliation. As soon as I was alone in the bathroom, I bawled my eyes out. After a few minutes of crying, I reached for the toilet paper behind me and dabbed the tears from my eyes. I know I shouldn't be jealous of Fifi, my best friend, but then, the heart wants what it wants. Suddenly the door to the bathroom swung open.
“Get in here loser”
The next thing I knew the bathroom was swarming with people. I rolled my eyes. Bullies.
“What do you think you were doing? Dancing with Eric?” a voice filled with anger said.
“N…nothing…. he asked me to dance with him” the fearful voice replied. My blood went cold. It was Fifi they were bullying.
“Did you see her?” another girl giggled.
“She thinks she's beautiful.” She burst into laughter. “That was an eyesore”
“I'd warned Eric to try cheating on me with people with class”
I recognized that voice. It was Olivia, the leader of the cheerleading squad.
“Then to think about the other loser of a best friend she has,”
“That one is ugly too.” Then they cackled like witches. Anger bubbled in my chest. I knew I had to do something. I could be everything but I was not a coward. I slammed the door to the stall open.
They gasped but hissed on seeing me.
“Well if it isn't the president of the loser nation,” Olivia said and they burst into laughter.
“Leave her alone” I began.
“Or what?’ Olivia sneered. My eyes quickly darted around. I needed to do something, anything.
The girls began to laugh. “Shut up Arya you are nobody,” one of them said and they laughed again.
I stared at them, breathing through my mouth. I needed a comeback.
“See who is talking? You think I don't know you were the group loser, Olivia made you eat your lunch from the toilet seat” she gasped. These things I know were just rumors but from her reaction, I think it was the truth.
“And you” I turned to the other girl. “Beneath all this makeup is that huge gap between your teeth like a rabbit hole and your acne face, I saw your face last year during the rain, and you are so ugly you could make the perfect scarecrow”
Her eyes widened and she clasped a hand over her mouth. Immediately she bolted out of the bathroom, then followed by the previous girl.
Olivia glared at me. “You Arya! It's not yet over” and she walked out of the bathroom. I hugged my best friend and she sobbed on my neck.
“He asked me to dance with him,” she said in between sniffles. I nodded and wiped her tears.
“It's okay, you did nothing wrong,” I said cupping her face” Come on let's go out there.”
She nodded, smiling, “Thank you.”
“My pleasure” I smiled back. Fifi had a call and went to the side to answer it.
“Settle down everyone. I'll begin” I looked up to see the werewolf matchmaker. She was in charge of telling us who was our mate.
The air was filled with anxiety as young werewolves listened with rapt attention. The hall was ghost quiet and there was a fixed look of concentration in their eyes. I stared down at my hands, and back at the crowd. I felt nothing. Looking down at my feet, I held my bag tighter, my feet facing the door. What was the use of hoping? I'll be mated to an omega anyway and life will be pretty miserable.
Suddenly, I felt an intense urge to look up, and when I did, I froze. Everybody was staring at me, some smiling.
Someone leaned into me.
“The matchmaker called your name, your mate is Alpha Jake”
My eyes were the exact size of watermelons. “What!”
“…. Arya Lincoln, you are mated to the Alpha, Jake Lucas….” she said again. A deafening applause was heard around me and my lips spread into a slow grin.
Some group of girls ran up to me. “Come on, go tell him!”
“Should I? Can I? “I asked with my eyes wide.
“Yes!” they chorused.
Immediately I sprinted out of the hall as the applause continued. Straight to the palace. I couldn't believe it. Jake and I were old friends. I always visited the palace those times. He was an illegitimate child like me but he was made Alpha when Luna died after not bearing children. I couldn't believe it. I also had a crush on him but I let it go because he was way out of my league.
I sneaked into the palace, making my way to Jake's room. I couldn't believe my dream had finally come true. Maybe my life wasn't going to be shitty after all.
I had felt the pull, Jake's wolf must have sensed it too as Camilla, and my wolf did. I was feeling all giddy as I tiptoed to Jake's room. There wasn't really any reason to sneak around, but it was exciting to do.
When I reached Jake's room, I began to hear certain sounds that caused me to furrow my brows. My heart raced and I had sweat dripped down my palms. There was only one answer to this and I hoped it wasn't it.
Arya's POV " Wine?" I glanced down at the glass and back at Chase. What was he planning? Was he going to make me drunk. I took in a deep breath and looked into his eyes."You are staring" he muttered as he stepped closer. This time I didn't run. For whatsoever reason, I stood my ground "I know" I replied. His eyes roamed around my face and rested on my lips and back to my eyes..what was Chase up to? I had come to home with the aim of fighting with him. Arguing with him. But he was the opposite. He proposed peace. He surprised me, despite the history we had. I could swear he was never going to speak to me again, but he surprised me.To some extent, I began to feel guilty. The last two fight we had came fresh in my head. "Wine?" He said in a breathless voice.I sighed for the one millionth time. It would be unfair to still give him the cold shoulders and those one word replies."Okay"Chase stood up and went to the winery at the side of the kitchen. He filled my glass with wine an
Chase's POVI followed her to kitchen and pretended to get something from the fridge.I noticed she didn't want to look at me. That was weird. I moved closer to her and she in turn moved back. Hmm that was strange. Where did this come from? I needed to know why." I have never seen you this angry at me. What is wrong?" I asked.“Why are you avoiding me?” I said taking a step closer. She didn't say a word, though it looked like she wanted to. The silence stretched and I waited for her to speak but she didn't. Then she turned around, backing me. Finally I had enough.My voice cut through the silence like a blade.Arya didn’t flinch. She didn’t turn either. She kept her back to me, hands on the countertop, pretending to be busy with nothing.I took a step closer.“I asked you a question.”“I heard you,” she replied, tone flat, without sparing me a glance.“And?”“I answered.”“You didn’t.”Another step. Now I was behind her, close enough to feel the tension radiating from her shoulders.
Amanda's POV I moved on with my life. At least I tried. I saw me plunging, my head into work, and everything that came along with it, it felt like it was trying to drive me crazy. I sighed deeply as I got into the elevator to go home that day. Looking myself in the mirror like walls, I could see the boredom and tiredness staring right back at me. Suddenly the only person in the elevator just left and it’s just me. When I was beginning to inch over my thoughts like a measuring tape, I remembered something.“oh I have to call Chanel, today is her birthday” as I fished out my phone from my bag, my phone rang. It was the birthday girl. “Hi Ama!— Chanel’s voice boomed from the other side of the phone— so how is my baby girl doing today? How wanted to know how my best friend is doing today? Chanel asked.I Chuckled. “ Hmm I’m just there, just in the elevator. Heading home, starving and can’t wait to get home”I went on to tell her all that transpired that day at work. Chanel as usual
A changed Alpha or lover Amanda's POV Ever since Alpha Jake went out to see that bitch, Arya, he had completely changed. He no longer gave me attention. The last time he came back and was all smiles. He told the maids to prepared a new room. It was probably for Arya. That bitch was coming back.I felt stupid. Used. I was the one in love with alpha Jake not her. I left the palace and began to work outside but he still didn't notice. I was serving a customer food and saw a couple. It brought back memories. Fond memories of I and the alpha.*****************************************************"**Alpha Jake and I stood in front of the mirror, brushing our teeth together. He finished first, rinsing his mouth and spitting into the sink, looking extremely sexy.He gave me a devilish smirk as he put his toothbrush back onto the countertop next to mine. “Ready?” he smirked and wiggled his eyebrows suggestively.“As ready as I’ll ever be,” I joked and smiled as he walked up behind me and g
Chase's POV"Drink this your highness" I looked up to see Angus shoving a glass of juice in my face. "For what?" I asked as I looked at him. Angus took a sot beside me. " your Highness you have not been yourself lately look at you you have dark circle is under your eyes" he said. I picked up my phone and looked myself. He was not lying. I sighed.I haven't been sleeping well lately. In fact the night mares were back. Ever since that argument, that fight I had with Arya, I have not being myself. Yesterday I had asked about Arya but I was told she left the pack. Jake had come pick her up. That was made my mood go from bad to worse. Too many sleepless nights and Nightmares knocked me on my ass. I was exhausted and rubbed my eyes. I shit my eyes and wished this was nothing but a bad dream. But the more I thought about it the more real is seemed.I sighed again, taking a sip of the drink. " it doesn't matter how I look like now, all I want is for her to be safe" Angus nodded. He too
Arya's POV Just like I expected Kelsi was waiting for me at home.I sat through Kelsi's words. She didn't spare me at all. She poured her venom on me. I had tried to make her understand but she was not having it." Please hear me out" "No!" Kelsi almost yelled. She gasped recognizing how loud she was getting. " No" she said, taking in a deep breath and then she looked away. I wrung my hands on my lap, like a little child who was being scolded. Kelsi can get like that when ever she gets angry.With how pissed she was with me, how could I tell her I was almost raped. How could I tell that Chase was cursed and brought me here to heal himself. It was not because he wanted his heir or anything. He had his selfish gains."So why did you tell me you were going to end things with Jake?" "I ended things with him""Then why did he come here yesterday?" She said standing, her hands on her waist. I sighed. I stood too."I don't know " I shrugged. " You know how he comes over without telling
Arya's POV The ride back to the black moon pack was a bitter one. Even the calming nature of the river Chile couldn't do anything to make my mood better.After listening to what Jake had said I couldn't have the strength or mental capacity to think about my near rape incident.I had thanked Jake profusely for saving me from that man. He said I took longer from getting back from the bathroom so he decided to go look for me. He heard muffled screams coming from the men's bathroom and he burst in, only to see me lying lifeless and demand was about to take off his clothes. I shuddered listening to him talk. Assuming he was not there what could have happened to me. And when I asked him about the scars and bruises on his body, he went quiet. He didn't want to say anything until I pressed on. Then he told me everything.At first I was angry that he could go and threaten Jake. What the hell does Chase take me for? His toy? His property? I was never his to start with. So why will he go and
Arya's POV My eyes fluttered open. There was light coming only From my left and right. I blinked. Where the hell was I?Where was chamberlain? He's on a holiday at the human side. Good. Chase? Angus? None of these people could feature in my last moments. I sighed. For a moment I just stayed still. My head was pounding with a rhythmic pain. What happened? Was I out drinking again with Kelsi? I searched my brain but I couldn't find Kelsi in my last moments. What the hell happened.I closed my eyes. Trying to remember. And I sure did. My eyes snapped open and I sprang up. So it was not a dream. The man touching my thighs and all. I turned my head frantically. From the look of things, I think I was in a car. Yes. I looked down. Wiggled. I felt no pain. Even there were no scars either. So what happened?Wait who's car is it then? That was when someone turned around from the passenger seat and stared at me with a bright smile."Finally you are awake!" She shrieked. I squinted."Who are
Arya's POV I forced down the bile in my throat as I made my way to Jake's car. This time was not like before. I walked to the car in shame and pain. The reason I wanted to see Jake was that, he wouldn't leave here without seeing me. He was as obstinate like a goat when he wants something and for the first time I could see what my actions had done. Maybe forgiving Jake and meeting him was not really the best. Now he has gotten the idea I was going to give him another chance.So the intent of meeting him was quite simple. Talk to him to end all these bullshit and everyone can go home happy.I looked around me. At the many eyes on me. It was then I saw how my actions were hurting the black moon pack. Imagine having the rival of your pack coming to pick the alpha's mate. The supposed luna.Nah. That didn't make sense. I took in a deep breath. It's all good to end this night.He had on some shades and was on long sleeve. As handsome as ever. I walked up to him. He turned as if he had ey
