>>Jenny
Okay!
I stared at the food.
Okay! Alright! I’m definitely crushing on him!!
Now what!?!
“Aren’t you going to eat?” He asked and I flinched.
Right!
I should eat first. I grabbed the fork and started stuffing my mouth with the pancakes but I was very conscious of him now. And because of that my heart rate kept rising.
I ate, but I couldn’t even focus on the taste.
I raised my head to glance at him but he noticed and caught me.
!!!
>>JennyI spent the whole Sunday fretting about what I had done.I had developed a major crush on my homeroom temporary teacher and I had no idea what to do about it.I couldn’t even ask anyone about it because I have no friends. I worried about it so much that I couldn’t even sleep right.And just like that came Monday where the school announced a field trip for the third years as a measure of good mental health. And so, we were here at a park for a picnic and physical activity.Since Mister Koen is our homeroom teacher, he was with our class and I watched from the bench as he stood in the middle of a crowd of girls.I like him, but what about him? There’s
>>JennyThere was only one way to confirm things and it wasn’t talking it out like normal people.I don’t know why I’m thinking about kissing him straight ahead instead of talking to him. Something must be wrong with my mind, right?But on that note, how am I supposed to just go and kiss him?HmmmShould I call him out? Harou did say I shouldn’t go out alone and Mister Koen said he’d protect me… I did go out alone last time but it can be ignored right? Mister Koen found me then too, so it’s fine.I straightened up on the bed and picked up my phone with both my hands. Should I invite him out? I shook my head. That would be too strang
>>JennyWe walked side by side on the streets, not speaking much to each other. My heart was taking time to calm down and I had many questions running through my mind.Did I really just see his eyes glow? I mean, I think I did but why would his eyes flash gold? Does that make any sense? If I ask about it, wouldn’t it seem like I’m losing my mind and hallucinating or something?Then, I nodded mentally, I’ll ask about the other thing. Maybe I’ll get a clue about the eye thing too.“I had no idea you could growl,” I glanced at him and watched his eyebrows twitch.“Ah,” He debated what to say in his mind, “Well,” He tried to laugh it off but that only got me more c
>>JennyStartled by the accidental kiss, we both froze for a split second, our eyes widened in surprise as the bustling sounds of the street seemed to fade away as I tried to process the unexpected intimacy. I mean, this was the plan but I wasn’t expecting it to actually happen accidentally.The bomb had already blown but as the impact set in, so did panic. I didn’t know how to react, because come to think of it, I hadn’t kissed anyone before. My lips quivered but that only made me feel his lips more. I felt his breath on mine and when I breathed shakily, I’m sure he felt the air on his mouth too.I could feel my pupils shaking and my heart thumping violently in my chest. It was then though, I saw it again, I saw his eyes flash gold, and this time I knew I didn’t see it.
>>JennyJealousy flared inside of me like hellfire. The thought of someone else going on a date with Koen, other than me, was disgusting.I don’t care if he’s human or not, I want him with me. No one else but me! The previous doubts I had disappeared, I was probably having them because the notion of the supernatural is so ambiguous, but I really don’t care. What does it matter if he’s a vampire, or a werewolf, or a fae, or whatever? He has a human form and I want him.I studied over the weekend like crazy. I even told Portia I wasn’t going to come and that she should self-study.And so came Monday and the mock test.The timer started and we all began to work on my exam. This time, things we
>>Jenny“Why are you here?” Reese asked.“I need a tiny tiny favor.” I leaned over the counter of his shop and stared into his face as I made a tiny gesture with my index finger and thumb.“No,” He wasn’t amused.“Please?” I showed him my puppy eyesReese is this middle-aged guy who’s oddly fit for someone who sits on his ass all day. Reese and I became friends when I puked on his shirt when I was sick one day. He was just an innocent passerby who became the victim of my bad stomach on a weekend. He took me to the hospital instead of throwing me somewhere on the street.Weirdly enough, this guy knows a lot about sha
>>JennyMy heart pounded in my chest as I found myself surrounded by four ugly figures, the bullies who had targeted me. Their taunting laughter echoed in my ears which was also mixed with ragged breathing. Their aggressive energy closed in on me like a suffocating cloud but I was determined not to give in.I took a deep breath, trying to steady my nerves. I knew I had to defend myself, both physically and emotionally. I kept my eyes on them and noticed one was missing among them. I’m sure there were five of them before.“To hell with you, you bitch,” Maria’s face was red and I don’t know if it was because of all the running or because she was mad. As the bullies closed in, I assessed the situation, my eyes darting from one ugly to another. I had to anticipate their next move, sta
>>KoenI emailed the CCTV video to the principal and then texted him for the name of the student who gave it to him.That’s when I felt an ominous feeling and my lycan growled. As the unmistakable sensation of danger washed over me, a surge of adrenaline coursed through my veins, igniting a fierce protectiveness for my mate.Jenny!!!Without hesitation, a mix of fear and determination fills my being, propelling me into immediate action. I ran out of my house in search of her.Goddamn, it! I told her to tell me if she wanted to go out!! But she only texted me one time! Where did she go this time? The mall? The cafe? A convenience store? I had no idea but wherever she went, I’m sure she wasn’t there when
>>Jena“It was a wonderful event.” Ulrich and I sat on the rooftop open bar after attending Jenny's wedding.“It was nice,” Ulrich replied, “I like the pastel blues in Portia’s theme.”“I know!” I got excited, “And it went wonderfully with Jenny’s theme of pastel yellow.”“Looks like they both put in a lot of effort and time for time.”I let out a satisfied sigh, “Yea,” I smiled and leaned into Ulrich, they sure did, “I’m glad it all went well.” The cool breeze caressed my skin as I took a sip from my drink and let it relax me.As I gazed out at the city skyline,
>>JennyI can’t believe the time is here. I know I was waiting for this day. I wanted to marry Koen so badly so that he would mark me. But I’m still reluctant about moving to The Silver City. It hasn’t even been a year since I started working as an officer. I don’t want to leave my job.Portia is leaving with Egon directly after the wedding ends, she’s more than happy to go with Egon now. I saw the mark on the back of her neck this morning and I found myself anticipating the one I’ll be getting.I was sitting in the bridal room, all dolled up when my mate came to disrupt the thoughts that were torturing me.“What are you worried about?” Koen came and sat down nex
(Further two years later)>>Portia“Hey hurry up!” Jenny whined, “We’re already late!” Jenny graduated from the police academy and now is bossier than ever even though she still hasn’t passed her National Detective and Investigative Test (NDIT) She’s working as an officer now while I just finished my final exam two weeks ago.“Just a minute.” I told her, “We’re leaving for good, I have to make sure we’re not leaving anything behind.” I got an Education degree from a university near Jenny’s and we shared a dorm for four years.I looked around the place that was now empty and I tightly clutched the hand bag in my hands, &ld
>>Jenny“Alright then,” We waited till another music piece started, “It’s really not hard. Since you’re smart. You’ll do great.”I nodded and as another piece started we swayed to the rhythm of the music, our bodies moving in sync. It was really easy to follow Koen’s lead, especially because he was going slow for me so that I could catch up.In the midst of the dance, I couldn't resist the urge to tease him, probably because I was on an edge and needed to divert my attention from the problem tugging at my brain. I was being bolder than usual. Leaning in closer, I whispered into his ear, my voice laced with a playful edge. "You know," I murmured, my breath tickling his skin, "I heard that kissing burns calories, wanna test that theory?"
>>JennyThe grand hall was adorned with opulent decorations, Jena, dressed in regal attire, stepped forward with confidence. She was wearing a breathtaking gown, a creation of exquisite silk and delicate lace. The fabric cascaded around her, flowing like a waterfall of opulenceThe officiant, the highest-ranking werewolf elder, stepped forward and began the ceremony, reciting ancient rituals and blessings. He spoke of the qualities that define a true leader: strength, wisdom, compassion, and the ability to unite the werewolf clans under a common purpose and blah blah blah. I couldn’t concentrate much on it really.One by one, the leaders of the packs stepped forward, offering their allegiance and loyalty to Jena. They pledged to support and follow her, recognizing her as the rightful
(Two years later)>>PortiaDuring the summer vacation holidays after our second year, Jena and Ulrich held their marriage ceremony and Jena’s coronation as Queen. Jenny and I made our way to the Silver City. Considering Jenny doesn’t have a full mark and hasn’t gone through her shifting she has to be accompanied by a wolf to pass the barriers of the Silver City even though she has special permission from the king himself to enter the lycan city.The forest was dense and we had to travel a lot on foot to reach the entrance of the city. It was exhausting but when we reached and saw the two people waiting for us there outside the entrance, our fatigue flew away. It was like a happy moment, where the chemicals in our brains shifted, causing us to forget about our tiredness.
>>JenaWe both waited for them to make a decision, we stood quietly while they glared back at us. It was quite unnerving to just stand there in the awkward and deadly silent while two God knows how old lycans stared at me.Then the previous Queen let out a sigh“Bianca dear,” Mother in law turned to her, “I’m sorry we called you here.” She shook her head, “You can go back. I apologize for inconveniencing you.”!!!Does she mean what I think she means by that?!?!Bianca was baffled at the apology, “Are you taking the human’s side?” She looked at the couple in di
>>UlrichShe nodded, “Yes,” Her answer held no doubt, “You need a Queen. And it has to be someone educated. You need a noble lycan to help you with your work as king.”….“NO!” I answered back in disbelief, “Not happening.” I removed her hands from my face and stepped back, “Absolutely not!”I had a bad feeling on my way here too but I wasn’t expecting them to say something so stupid.Marry someone else? Make someone else my Queen? Does that make any sense??!The depth of my love for Jena was unyielding. Every fibe
>>JenaBianca Beez!?Why is she here? I keep hearing her name but the only solace I had was that I didn’t have to see her myself or see her near Ulrich. So why is she here, in the palace, out of the blue?“Oh?” I raised my brow at her, “I’ve never heard of you.” I gave her a confident smile.“Oh?” She looked a little offended at that, but it seemed my words didn’t bother her much, “Well, men tend to hide their lovers.”Her words pissed me off. Lovers? Is she trying to imply that she and Ulrich were lovers?“Oh, no,” I shook my he
