Mirabel: 10 years ago… As soon as I closed from school, I went up to Klein's class. He was supposed to take me home today after school. I made my way to all of the classes he was supposed to have today until someone pointed me to where he was. As I walked up to his class, I stopped short when I noticed Klein holding a girl's hand and dancing with her in class. I knew who she was, she was the most popular girl in school. I felt a little jealous that Klein was touching her all willingly and she was touching him too. Klein belonged to me, he was my best friend and he belonged to only me. Sarah kissed Klein on his cheeks before waving him goodbye. Overcome with anger, I hid beside the door and stuck out my leg as soon as she crossed the exit. She tripped and almost fell to the ground but was quickly caught by Klein. "Are you okay?" Klein asked, pulling her to his chest, making me even more angry than before. "Yeah, thanks. I must have tripped on something. I chose t
Roselyn: The wedding was fast approaching, it was in a week and I was starting to feel the impending doom of it. Marrying Noah, I was sure wouldn't pose a problem for me but there was just this nagging feeling at the back of my mind that I couldn't get rid of. I had been watching throughout this week as the maids and Noah busied themselves with preparation. Even my father was more enthusiastic about the wedding than I was ànd that was saying something. I desperately needed a miracle at this point. Any kind of miracle. If I was being honest, I didn't want to do this. It was too much change for me. I loved Noah to death but marriage with him wasn't what I wanted, it wasn't what my wolf wanted and yet I couldn't stop the wedding, I couldn't break his heart like that. An image of Jackson telling me that everything was going to be okay popped up in my mind's eye and I shook my head. This was no time for fantasies. I needed to come to terms with my new life now. Things had be
Roselyn: I dialed Jackson's number, not waiting for my thoughts to consume me. I needed to talk about this. His phone rang but he didn't pick up. That was odd, Jackson was always with his phone unlike me, his phone was just an extension of his limbs. I dialed two more times but no answer. I decided to text him, saying I'd be at his place later tonight. I would have gone right now if I didn't have a meeting with the elders in two hours. I couldn't afford to be distracted. Breakfast was served minutes later and we all sat to eat. My father kept trying to get my attention, talking about all of the gifts that Noah had gotten for him. I had mostly been busy checking my phone for Jackson's reply but nothing. After breakfast, I left for the council meeting, but still, I hadn't heard anything from Jackson. "Now that the wedding is fast approaching when do you think Your husband will be returning to the staff," the council members asked. "He said as soon as the wedding was
Mirabel: 10 years ago "Are you leaving?" I asked Klein later that evening after dinner. Jackson had popped up briefly for a second to eat dinner before leaving again for an important council meeting. I was getting used to not seeing him around. Sometimes, I didn't even expect him to show up. I hated the fact that he didn't seem to have time for himself and I wished there was something I could do but the elders had yet to respond to the letters I had sent to them, telling them about the fact that I didn't like the fact that my brother was constantly away from me. "Yeah, Princess. I've got to study." He said as he rose from his chair. I followed suit, pouting at the fact that he was leaving so soon. It was only 9:50 pm. "But… you can study here," I said, feeling lonely already. I hated being alone these days and most times, Klein was around to keep me company. He claimed it was Jackson's idea but I knew deep down he was doing it for me too. Whenever he was around, he'
Klein: It had been twelve hours since the last time I saw Jackson and within that window, I had already gone from stressed to spiraling. Something was wrong. I couldn't mindlink him and his phone was with me. That was definitely unlike Jackson. Something was wrong but what? Jackson was an Alpha and one of the strongest in the realm, he couldn't have been kidnapped. My phone began to ring just then and picked it up since it was Roselyn. "Any news?" She asked, panic evident in her tone. "None," I said in a distraught tone. In an hour if he wasn't back, I'd go report to the pack's local police. I was aware a person had to be missing for at least forty-eight hours but Jackson wasn't just anyone, he was an alpha who was not answering any of his subordinate's mind links. "This isn't good Klein, we need to speak to the council soon, get a search party ready. I don't have a good feeling about this. It's been almost half the day. Hayden and Jayden won't stop crying either, something
Mirabel: 10 years ago I frantically screamed out for help as the big grey and brown Wolf slowly and deliberately crept towards me, eyes menacing and snarl-biting and Cold. Oh no, oh no. I was going to die. He was going to kill me. I was hyperventilating and paralyzed on the spot. Completely frozen. I could feel my entire body shaking when I sat on the floor staring up at the big bad wolf about to kill me. His eyes looked like they were mocking me as he crept slowly. He knew I couldn't move, he most likely knew I hadn't gotten my wolf too, so, I was an easy target. Shit! Shit! I shouldn't have come outside. I should have stayed in. I was never going to see Jackson again and Klein. Oh Goddess, he probably thought I was in bed sleeping. Oh, Klein. Please, help me. I begged. The Grey Wolf howled and pounced on me. I closed my eyes in preparation "I love you Klein," I whispered, surprising myself as I waited for my inevitable demise. I frowned when I didn't feel an
Mirabel: 10 years ago. "What the hell were you thinking, Mira!?" Jackson's voice boomed the next day. Klein had just told him about the Rogue wolf that had almost killed me last night. "You could have been fucking killed!" He barked, his eyes blazing. "Let her be, J," Klein cut in. "Absolutely not!' Jackson shot back at his friend. He was practically shaking in anger which in turn scared me. "Stop enabling her. She's no longer twelve, she's fuckin fourteen. Old enough to know the dangers of the woods." "I didn't mean to, Jackson. I couldn't sleep and…" I tried to explain. "You couldn't sleep and you decided running into the woods would help you? Are you stupid or something? What would have happened if you had died? If Klein wasn't there to stop him, huh?" Jackson barked. I shifted back, scared out of my wits. I had never seen him angry before, it felt like I was Like I was staring into a demon’s eyes. He was so upset. I have never seen Jacks
Mirabel: 10 years ago “Do you think Jackson hates me?” I asked Klein two days after Jackson’s confrontation with me about going out in the woods alone. He’d even be more scarce in the pack house now, it was almost like he was avoiding me or something. Usually, he would eat breakfast with us before rushing out of the pack house like he was being chased but for the past two days, Jackson had not come down for breakfast or rather, he had left way too early for us to see him at breakfast. It was heartbreaking that he was so mad at me that he didn’t want to see me. Klein was the only person I could depend on now. He was always there when I needed him and he was the only person and reason I had not committed suicide yet. He had no idea I was suicidal too. “He doesn’t hate you, Mirabel. He is your brother and he loves you, it’s just that he’s busy these days and I know it’s no excuse, but you have to understand your brother is just 18 and, barely done with high school and
