>>Jenny
I felt a knot forming in my stomach, a gnawing ache that threatened to consume me.
What did she have that I didn't? Why is she in his arms?! Why does he have her in his arms?!?! How dare he!? How could he bring someone other than me in his arms?!?!
The sight of him with another woman triggered a wave of self-doubt. I wondered if I had failed in some way if I had missed or misinterpreted the signs of his interest. But no, I refuse to believe the signs I caught onto were wrong. I’m usually good with this stuff! The pain reverberated through every fiber of my being, leaving me raw and angry.
He’s mine! And mine alone!! And he should know that too!
The raging storm inside of me made me walk up to them wi
>>Alina“Uh,” I stepped back, “You guys enjoy your time, I’m heading back.” I immediately turned around and began to walk away.‘Alina,’ Koen mind-linked me, ‘Is everything okay?’‘Yea,’ I replied, ‘Everything’s fine, I’m just tired,’ Jenny’s possessiveness comes on par with lycans who are crazy in love.‘Alright,’ He replied, ‘You can take the guest room,’‘Mmhmm,’>>JennyI stared at Alina as I pursed my lipsShe’s suspicious of me, isn&rsqu
>>Jenny“Are you worried about something?” Koen asked and I noticed that I didn’t realize where we were walking to,That’s when a thought crossed my mind, “You never told me,” I asked“What?”“Your real job,” I eyed him, “You never told me what it was,” He told me he had another job but didn’t reveal what it was, probably because he was keeping the fact that he was a lycan a secret too at that time but it’s different now.“Oh!” He perked up, “I’m a royal guard,” He answered and then I perked up.“A royal guard!?” He nodded, “So are you close to
>>Jenny“No, wait,” Koen got her off of him, “We’re just friends!”I turned my gaze towards Koen, “Is she?” I could feel my anger boiling up, “Do friends kiss you all the time?”“Jenny!” He moved further away from her, “It’s not what it looks like,” He raised his hands in defense and started to panic, “Not at all!!”“Excuse me,” The bitch folded her arms and looked at me, “And you are?”“I would like to ask you that,” I folded my arms back to appear just as aggressive, “Who are you?” I tried my best to speak calmly but since my blood was boiling my words seemed angry, “Cou
>>KoenI was not expecting Jenny to act that aggressively. I didn’t think she’d just throw the other girl on the road. I stared at Sitara as she lay in the hospital bed, in the special ward dedicated to non-humans.“You know why she did it?” Alina stared at me and I sighed. I knew she was angry, I could very well see it in her expression.“Are you going to tell me she did it because she was jealous?” It was a bit hard to take in but no matter how hard I thought about it, I couldn’t come up with any other reason.“Yep,” Alina replied, “She seems to be even more possessive than we normally are.” She shook her head, “That’s not normal for a human.”
>>UlrichI walked in the palace corridor, making my way towards my room at night.“You should get married,” One of my father’s retainers followed behind me“I will,” I answered while doing my best to stay calm.“When?” Every day people are coming after me to talk about the exact same thing.“Whenever I want,”“Your Highness!” He got upset like all the others before him did, “You're the king now, you need a Queen!”“I never said I wasn’t getting one,” But I was so tired of the same question being asked over and over again that I just ke
>>Jena“You have entrance exams next week.” I walked Jenny back to her dorms, “Are you studying well?”“I got the top score in the mock tests,” She smirked, “I’ll be fine,”It was pretty late at night and by the time we reached her dorms, I noticed the front gate was closed, “Oh shit,” I got worried, “It’s past your curfew time?”Jenny laughed at me, “It’s past midnight sis,” She kept walking, crossing the place where the gate was, “Curfew is long gone.”I followed her, “How are you gonna get in then?”“I’m gonna climb the wall from the al
>>KoenI can smell her, It’s faint but her scent is here.Thunder rumbled in the clouds as I ran around towards the dark alley where I could smell her. But just as I stepped into the darkness of the alleyway, I saw someone down on the ground.!!!I ran up to her, sliding to a stop as I crouched next to the unconscious person, then paused. Slowly I moved my hand to pick her up and straighten her body in my arms as I sat there.Lightning illuminated the whole place and I got to have an even better look at her, “Jena?” A frown appeared on my face when I noticed the side of her head was bleeding.Oh noThe wind star
>>Koen“Why are we here?” We both ran towards Harou’s office in the police station, rainwater hopped off of us, forming a trail on the floor.“Because we have to find Jenny,” He answered as we reached his office door and then started rummaging through the keys he grabbed from the security guard on our way here.“Here?” I watched him try in a bunch of keys“Yes,” He kept trying them till he started sweating- no, he was already sweating, I just didn’t notice it before because he got drenched in the rain, “Here,” That’s how worried he was.“Harou?” I called his name when a key fit in and he perked up
>>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
