Chapter 1Hailey's POVI stood in a discreet corner watching Paxton and his friends practice at the basketball court.I always wondered why they still enjoyed playing basketball even though we are no longer in high school.Everyone else has gone home but this has been my daily routine for the longest time.I had my eyes fixed only on Paxton, I wasn't seeing anyone else. Paxton could be described in one sentence and that is as the hottest guy in school. He is my long-time crush, I know it's not a wise decision to crush on someone like him because every other girl in the school was crushing on him as well.There's a high possibility that he might never notice me but that's not a problem to me, I'm okay with crushing from a distance.Suddenly, their ball flew in my direction and fell right in front of me.Oh no!I made to turn around and run away but unfortunately, they had already seen me.Paxton was staring blankly at me.Damn! What do I do? I slowly squatted down and picked up the
Chapter 2Hailey's POVThe room was quiet, everyone stared at me and Dimitri. My heart was pounding loudly as all eyes watched us, waiting patiently to see what would happen between the shy, nerdy girl and the almighty co-captain of the basketball team… Dimitri, he is also the Alpha of the Red moon pack.My eyes kept scanning the whole place until it landed on both my friends and roommates. Mia and Jessy. “You can do this girl.” They smiled at me which gave me more courage.Dimitri’s deadly glare locked into mine as he walked straight to me, grabbing my arm roughly. “So, this is what you’ve been doing? Cheating on me and flirting with Paxton?!” His voice was low but full of fury.My breathing was caught in my throat as I shook my head, trying to find the words. “Dimitri, no! It’s not what you think. Paxton... Paxton isn’t my boyfriend! He only invited me to his party, nothing else...”But Dimitri didn’t let me finish. He was already as violent as usual. “Do I look dumb to you?” He a
Chapter 3I watch the dress inch up my legs with every pull of his hand, baring more and more of me. The sight makes me giddy. It’s the only excuse for what slips out in response. “Should I call you Daddy, then?”He goes still. Just like that, he releases my dress and the fabric falls back to cover most of my thighs. Disappointment sours my stomach, but he’s not moving back. He skates his hand up my side barely brushing the curve of my breast before he grips my chin just tightly enough to hurt. “Is that what you want, Hailey?” He presses two fingers to my bottom lip and I open for him. “You want to call me Daddy while I do filthy things to you that you’ve only fantasized about.” He slips his fingers into my mouth, in and out, in and out, miming fucking. I watch him with wide eyes, but I don’t get a chance to decide if I like it or not before he clamps his remaining fingers tightly around my chin, his fingers almost deep enough to gag me.Paxton leans down and holds my gaze as his fin
Chapter 4Sun rays penetrated into my eyes directly, I felt my head ache alot. I was in Paxton's room- his bed!That was when I remembered what happened last night between me and that handsome stranger. His presence was comforting and unfamiliar. I got down from the bed and saw him standing on the mirror and wearing his shirts and pants. Look away immediately. He noticed my uneasiness and walked to me. “You enjoyed it last night, you saw everything…you don't have to look away now.” He said. My throat hitched and I swallowed hard. How did this happen? Paxton stirred. His voice, flirtatious as he draw closer to my ear, broke the silence. “Morning,” he murmured, he peeked my cheeks which send cold shivers down my spine.“Morning,” I replied softly, my mind still racing. What does this mean now?He grabbed my waist, running a hand through his dark curls. “Need a ride home?” he asked casually, his blue eyes locking onto mine.I blinked, caught off guard by how nonchalant he sounded, as
Chapter 5I stood there like a statue while he walked to me. He was smiling brightly at me. “Hey, Hailey! Thanks for coming!” Paxton called out, he bounced the ball toward the basketball court with his friends. I felt a flutter in my chest, a mix of excitement and nerves. He winked at me, and for a moment, I really want to keep seeing him again and again.“Awwn! He’s such a lover boy!” Jessy gushed, her eyes sparkling with admiration as she nudged me playfully. “C’mon, guys, let’s go sit over there,” Mia suggested, her voice bubbling with enthusiasm. We found seats on the bleachers, the old wood creaking beneath us, we sat down and watched the game.“Do you think Paxton will win again?” I heard one of the girls whisper, and I caught myself biting my lip, trying to focus on anything but their voice were so loud.“Yes! He’s so cute! Only his cuteness and smartness will make him win. He is a God!” another girl exclaimed, and a part of me felt jealous at their ease in gushing over him.
Chapter 6I took a quick shower and dressed up. Standing in front of the mirror, I barely recognized myself. The dress hugged me in all the right places, and my hair was done in a ponytail with ribbons, giving me a youthful glow."Perfect!" Jessy and Mia both smiled at me.We left around nine o’clock. The party venue was set in the woods, at the infamous fire pit. As we approached, the flickering flames cast an orange glow over the crowd. The air was thick with the scent of burning wood and the sound of laughter, cheers, and loud music.It was just a tent-like cabin made with words from the 1980s and since our school has been for ages, it was made for students in those days and now was slightly refurbished for the new generation students to use. Like us...At the center of the pit, was a huge burning fire. Everywhere was beautiful and noisy.The fire pit was surrounded by students. Boys and girls danced, drank, and flirted with each other, while others threw beer cans and acted like f
Chapter 7Hailey's POVPaxton draw me closer, his eyes gleaming with that all-too-familiar mischievous smile. “Did you enjoy last night’s sex?” His voice was low, teasing, yet carrying a dangerous edge that sent shivers down my spine.My heart pounded in my chest. I hesitated, feeling the weight of his gaze. The memory of last night still lingered, and despite everything, I nodded. “Yes, I did.” I hated that I couldn’t deny it. I don't have a choice!“Good,” he said, his voice thick with satisfaction. “Let’s do it again. One more time, and I promise, I’ll leave you alone.”Panic flared in my chest. I swallowed hard, trying to muster the strength to refuse. “No, Paxton. This was a mistake.” My voice wavered, betraying the conflict I felt inside. The words weren’t as strong as I wanted them to be.“I can't. Those girls drooling over you would definitely kill me, including Nikki.” I swallowed hard.He raised an eyebrow, his smirk deepening. “You’re worried about Nikki, aren’t you? About
Chapter 8Hailey's POV The next morning, I was still lost in sleep, completely oblivious to the fact that I had a lecture in just an hour. That was, until Jessy’s loud voice jolted me out of my dreams, making my heart leap out of my chest. “Hailey! Hailey! Wake up! I think I saw someone that looks exactly like Paxton in a ridiculously luxurious car waiting out front!” Jessy screamed. My eyes shot open as I bolted upright in bed. “What? Paxton?!” My heart pounded faster than it should have, and I felt a wave of anxiety rush over me. Still dressed in my pink Barbie pajamas, I stumbled to the window and looked down. And there he was. Paxton. Sitting in a sleek black car with his usual smirk. His eyes locked with mine, and instantly, I felt that stupid flutter in my chest again. Ugh, why does this keep happening? Why does my heart feel like it's about to leap out of my body every time he's around? Seriously, someone tell me what the heck is wrong with me! “Oh no, Jessy. What did I do
Hailey’s POVThe quiet hum of the hospital hallway made my nerves feel even more on edge. My heart pounded in my chest as I hurried down the corridor, clutching the folder of test results tightly against my chest. The fluorescent lights above buzzed faintly, casting a pale glow that only heightened the eerie quiet.I felt a touch on my shoulder, and fear jolted through me like lightning. I froze, my breath catching in my throat. Slowly, I turned around, my fingers trembling against the folder.“Oh, my goodness!” I gasped, relief flooding through me. “Who the heck—” My words trailed off as I came face-to-face with Nikki. Her overly sweet smile curled her lips, but her eyes told a different story—cold, calculating, and utterly fake.“Well, hello there, bitch,” Nikki sneered, her voice dripping with venom. “How was your little adventure at the company? Did you enjoy every single second of it?”I rolled my eyes, willing myself not to engage, but my blood boiled at the smug satisfaction on
Hailey’s POVI clung desperately to the thick, wet roots dangling into the pit, my fingers trembling from exhaustion. My arms screamed in pain as I tried to keep my head above the rising water. Cold droplets stung my face, mingling with the tears I couldn’t hold back. A sharp ache throbbed in my head, the rain pounding harder with each passing second. The storm above felt relentless, and the deafening roar of thunder made me flinch.“Moon Goddess, please!” I sobbed, my voice cracking under the strain. “Send me a helper. I don’t want to die here or be eaten by some wild animal!”The rain showed no mercy, filling the pit faster than I could comprehend. My legs were submerged, and soon my waist followed. I gasped for air, gripping the roots with what little strength remained in me. My breaths were shallow, my body trembling uncontrollably.Suddenly, a voice broke through the chaos, distant but unmistakable. “Hailey! Hailey! Where are you?”I recognized it immediately—Paxton. Relief flood
Hailey's POV I waited for the trumpet, my nerves on edge. Of course, they chose Nikki for me. Out of everyone, it had to be her. Great, just great. I caught Paxton and Dimitri glaring at each other again. Those two were like cats and dogs—one glare away from a full-on brawl. I rolled my eyes. Boys. Then, the trumpet blasted through the clearing, and everyone charged into the woods. I took a deep breath. Sure, I’m a werewolf, but these dense, shadowy woods still sent a shiver down my spine. It's creepy in here...plus, I’m stuck with Nikki, who wasn’t even trying to walk at my pace. “Hold on, Nikki. We’re supposed to stick together, remember?” I called, trying to match her pace. She whipped her head around with a look of utter disgust. “Oh, please! You can run if you want. There are, like, a million mosquitoes here, and I am *not* about to be their snack!” I rolled my eyes and jogged to catch up, trying to ignore her ‘princess’ attitude. I started spotting treasures, though, tucked
Hailey's POV Los Angeles's forest was everything we’d hoped—towering trees arched above us, shielding us from the sun as a gentle breeze cooled the air. The bus doors swung open, and everyone flooded out, stretching and yawning. Even though excitement buzzed around, exhaustion from the jet lag weighed heavy on us. I barely had a moment to breathe before Paxton appeared at my side, holding out a bottle of water and a handkerchief. “Here,” he offered with a gentle smile, dabbing my forehead despite my attempts to wave him off. “I’m fine, really—” I started, but he just chuckled and continued. I caught Dimitri’s gaze from across the clearing, his jaw tense, eyes hardening as he watched Paxton. I quickly looked away, pretending not to notice. Around us, students scattered, taking in the scenery. My heart sank as I spotted Jessy and Mia strolling far off with their teams. I missed them already; nothing ever felt right without them by my side. But it wasn’t really their fault. The lec

XOXO Hailey's POV The day finally arrived, and I could barely contain my excitement as I rushed home with my friends. We plopped onto my bed, the air thick with anticipation. “Did you hear the principal’s announcement?” Jessy exclaimed, her eyes sparkling. “Paxton is sooo handsome, and you might be in the same room!” I rolled my eyes, trying to mask the flutter in my stomach. “That’s only if Dimitri and Nikki agree to it,” I shot back, reminding myself to stay grounded. They both nodded, their expressions serious yet eager. “C’mon, let’s pack! We’re going to Los Angeles tomorrow!” Mia’s enthusiasm was infectious, and despite my nerves, a smile broke through. I was excited, but a gnawing worry tugged at me. What if everything didn’t go as planned? *** D-Day dawned bright and clear. My friends and I dragged our bags toward the school, the atmosphere electri
Hailey's POV The next day, I arrived at school with my heart racing. As I walked in with my friends, the buzz of excitement filled the air. Students darted around, exchanging whispers and laughter, their faces alight with anticipation. “Who’s your teammate? Who’s your teammate?” they called out, the question echoing in the hallways. Mia, always perceptive, turned to me, her brow furrowed. “Did something happen? Why are they running helter-skelter?” I shrugged, trying to mask my own growing anxiety. The atmosphere was electric, and I could feel the thrill mixed with nerves. Just then, a student rushed past us, nearly colliding with Mia. She grabbed the girl’s hand. “Sorry, but what’s the uproar for? Did you guys win a lottery to the states?” Mia asked, a teasing lilt in her voice. The girl merely blushed and dashed off, leaving us even more curious. “You haven’t heard?” she finally said, her eyes wide with excitement. “We’re going on a two-day camp as part of the internship! E
Hailey's POV I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Dimitri had thrown a flower in the air, caught it with ease, then dropped down on one knee with a smile that tried to be charming but only made my stomach churn. My face flushed hot as I saw the other boys cheering him on. What was he doing? I scanned the area, panic bubbling up inside me. "Are you out of your mind?" I hissed at him. "What the heck do you think you're doing?" "Hailey, please," he said, eyes glistening with what I guessed was supposed to be sincerity. "I’m sorry for everything. Please… give me another chance. I’ll treat you right this time, I swear." My eyes widened, and the humiliation burned even hotter. He was acting like we’d been some fairytale couple instead of a mismatched disaster. "Dimitri, we’re over," I said firmly, but before I could step away, he grabbed me, pulling me in for a desperate hug, pressing his lips to my neck. "Please," he whispered, his voice cracking, "please." The crowd erupted into c
Hailey's POV:** Paxton took me to the shopping mall after the incident. We picked out all sorts of clothes—dresses, tops, even some more casual things like sneakers. He insisted we stock up on provisions too: cereals, milk, and even Golden Morn, which he said reminded him of his childhood. It felt... surreal. Like, this wasn’t just another day. It felt special. When he dropped me off in front of my house, I barely had time to process everything before Jessy came rushing toward me. "Oh my goodness! Look at how stunning you look in your new dress!" Jessy exclaimed, practically bouncing on her feet as her eyes roved over me, taking in every detail. I could feel her excitement radiating, and it was contagious. A small smile tugged at my lips as I smoothed my hands over the fabric of the dress. "All thanks to Nikki because we now have clothes and provisions for ourselves!" Mia chimed in, appearing beside Jessy with a playful glint in her eyes, her laughter echoing through the hallway.
Hailey’s POV** After freshening up, Paxton and I strolled to the other side of the park. The sun was setting, casting a golden hue over the adventure park as we made our way to the swings. Paxton, of course, insisted on paying for everything—tickets, drinks, and all the fun activities we’d done so far. The swing ride had been exhilarating. With the wind whipping through my hair, I actually felt... carefree for the first time in days. We even tried horse riding, laughing and teasing each other as our horses trotted side by side. For a while, it felt like nothing else mattered. But the day wasn’t over. Paxton led me to a cozy restaurant nearby. The smell of spices and freshly cooked food made my stomach growl as we took our seats. We ordered chicken stock pepper soup and plates filled with steaming beef. I couldn’t wait to dig in. As I started eating, though, I noticed Paxton suddenly stop mid-bite. He wasn’t eating, just watching me with this strange look in his eyes. His fork hover
