I need y'all's support. So please show me some love đĽşâ¨â¤ď¸đ
Lily clutched her math textbook tightly to her chest as she walked through the bustling school hallway. She had been trying her best to stay under the radar since the fallout with Maya. Every glance, every whisper seemed to burn with judgment. Today was no different, and the weight of it pressed down on her like a physical burden. As she rounded the corner, she collided with someone, her books tumbling to the floor. "Oh, Iâm so sorry!" Lily stammered, crouching to pick them up. Her heart sank when she realized who she had bumped intoâMaya. Maya stared down at her for a moment, her face unreadable. Lilyâs cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and she quickly gathered her books, preparing to walk away before things could escalate. But to her surprise, Maya stopped her. "Wait," Maya said, her tone surprisingly soft. Lily froze, glancing up uncertainly. She respected that Maya needed as much time to get herself back together and she was prepared to stay in her lane for as long as po
The final bell of the day echoed through the school halls, and students flooded out of classrooms, their conversations and laughter filling the air. Maya lingered by her locker, her movements slow and deliberate as she placed her books into her bag. She wanted nothing more than to head home, escape the noise and tension of the day, and be alone with her thoughts. But as she zipped her bag, she heard a familiar voice behind her. "Maya!" She turned to see Lily approaching, a bright smile on her face. The sight of it stirred a mix of emotions in Mayaâguilt, anger, and the faint ache of nostalgia. "Hey," Maya said, her voice neutral. Lily adjusted the strap of her bag and tilted her head slightly. "Are you going home or do you have any plans for later today?" Lily asked, her eyes scanning Maya's face for an answer."I think I'm just going to head home and crash on my bed. I'm already feeling tired from all the classes today" Maya replied.The light in Lily's eyes disappeared and s
The next few days passed in a blur of activity, but for Lily, something felt off. At first, it was subtleâan undercurrent of tension in the air whenever Maya was around. Mayaâs usual warmth seemed strained, her smiles not quite reaching her eyes, and the way she fidgeted whenever Lily caught her gaze left Lily with a nagging sense of unease.Lily, ever the perceptive one, couldn't ignore the changes. Maya had always been her closest friend, the one who knew her inside and out, and Lily had always known Mayaâs moods better than anyone else. But recently, something was different.It was lunch when Lily first noticed how truly off Maya was. As the bell rang and students flooded into the cafeteria, Maya was unusually quiet. Normally, she would have laughed at something Lucas or Liam said, but today, she barely seemed to register their jokes. Lily watched her from across the table, the discomfort settling in her chest like a heavy weight. She felt an instinctive need to help, but no
The drive back to Lilyâs house was pleasant, with the sun dipping low on the horizon, casting a warm glow over the town. Lucas and Liam, as usual, were joking around, their energy lighthearted and infectious. Lily, sitting next to Maya, laughed along with them, the sound of her laughter filling the car. "Looks like Mayaâs becoming a regular around here," Lucas teased, turning around from the passenger seat to glance at Maya. "Youâre practically a part of the family now."Liam smirked. "Yeah, at this rate, youâre going to have to start paying rent, Maya."Lily laughed as she lifted an eyebrow."How can she be family but still have to pay rent. Wouldn't she have a room for free" Lily said."Her own case is different so she'll have to pay rent" Liam replied then laughed with Lucas.Lily rolled her eyes, grinning. "Oh, shut up, you two. At least Mayaâs good companyâunlike you clowns."Liam regarded Lily with mock hurt as he put his hand to his chest to show shock."I'll like to argue
Maya immediately regained herself and she hid her phone in the back pocket of her jeans as she looked at Lucas and she could see the suspicion in his eyes."What are you doing here, Lucas?" Maya asked, her voice slightly breaking due to fear but she tried her best to maintain a cool and calm exterior."I wanted to check on you because Lily said you were having stomach issues" Lucas brought out a small bottle. "My mum said this is the best remedy for such problems and I felt you would most probably need it."Maya's face lit up just a bit."Thank you much" Maya said.As she collected the bottle from Lucas, the small exchange where their hands brushed each other, there was a feeling radiating from her that made everything seem uneasy.Maya attempted to leave but Lucas stood in her way."What are you doing?" Maya asked, her eyes moving from Lucas's hard stare to the ground.As an Alpha, it wasn't hard for Lucas to feel when something wasn't entirely right with a member of his pack.And she
The soft light of dawn crept through Lilyâs curtains, spilling onto the floor in streaks of gold. The gentle chirping of birds outside her window would have usually been a calming sound, but not today. Lily sat on the edge of her bed, brushing her hair absentmindedly, her thoughts consumed by Mayaâs strange behavior the day before. She had been noticing how weird she has been acting since they got back together and she only thought perhaps she was finding it hard transitioning back into being friends because they had been apart for a while.But now it seemed like there was something more sinister at play, especially after considering what Lucas had heard from Maya when she was in the bathroom.What could she be hiding? The question gnawed at her, tugging at her mind even as she tried to push it away. Maya had always been her anchor, her closest confidant. The distance between them felt like a void, growing larger with every passing day. She couldnât shake the feeling that somethin
The school hallways buzzed with the usual morning chaosâstudents rushing to their lockers, chatter echoing off the walls, and teachers issuing last-minute reminders before classes began. But none of it registered with Lily.She moved through the crowd like a ghost, her thoughts swirling with Luna Ariel's words. "Announce your pregnancy during the Moon Festival."If she could stop herself from thinking about it, she would, but even that task seemed impossible for her to do.The phrase echoed in her mind, each repetition tightening the knot in her chest. She wasnât readyânot for an announcement, especially one that wasn't true. The entire pack deserved her honesty, but how could she possibly explain this to them? She wished she could come up with a solution as soon as possible so she won't have to be troubled by this lingering thought.Lost in thought, Lily didnât notice Alex approaching until his voice cut through her haze. "Hey, are you okay?" She looked up, startled. Alex stood
The art room was eerily quiet, save for the faint creak of the wooden floor beneath Lily's pacing footsteps. The walls were adorned with student artworksâlandscapes, abstract shapes, and portraitsâall bathed in soft light from the tall windows. But Lily wasnât paying attention to any of it. Her mind was a storm of thoughts, swirling around Luna Arielâs demand. "Announce your pregnancy at the Moon Festival."She ran a hand through her hair, frustration evident on her face. The Moon Festival was only a few weeks away, and the pressure was mounting. As the Luna of the pack, there were expectationsâtraditions to uphold, appearances to maintain. But this? This was too much. Lily stopped, gripping its edge as she tried to steady her racing thoughts. She couldnât deal with this alone, which was why she had texted Lucas and Liam to meet her here. Still, a small part of her wished she could have asked Maya for advice. Despite her friendâs recent odd behavior, Maya always had a way of c
The amusement parkâs vibrant colors and cheerful noises blurred into the background as Lucas watched the fear flicker across Lilyâs face. Her hands trembled, clutching the letter, and her eyes were wide with dread. Lucasâs heart clenched; he hated seeing her like this. âLily,â he said softly, but when she didnât respond, he stepped closer and gently took the letter from her hands. His sharp eyes scanned the handwritten note, and his expression darkened. "_Iâm always watching you, Lily._" The words sent a chill down his spine. Anger surged through him, heating his blood. All he could see now was red and the fury raging inside him was hot enough to burn anything in his path. His anger knew no bounds. âAlex,â he muttered, his jaw tightening. Lily wrapped her arms around herself, her voice barely audible. âHeâs out there, Lucas. Watching me" Lily said, her voice slightly braking as she talked.She looked around, hoping to catch a glimpse of her stalker who couldn't take the hint
The sun shined brightly over the large amusement park, the biggest among all pack territories, casting a golden glow over the cheerful crowds. The air was filled with the mix of sounds of laughter, carnival music, and the occasional delighted screams from rollercoasters as people enjoyed the ride. Lucas led Lily past colorful stalls, his hand lightly resting on her back to guide her through the bustling crowds. He could tell, just from his hand placed slightly on her back that she wasn't at all settled and it hurt him to watch her crumble in such a way and he couldn't do anything about it. Lily, dressed in a simple yet elegant sundress, completely unaware of Lucas' observation, clung to her thoughts, her mind still lingering on Alex and everything that had happened. Yet, she couldn't deny that the atmosphere of the park was infectious. The smell of fresh popcorn, cotton candy, and fried treats filled her senses, and the vibrant energy around her was impossible to ignore. She cou
The sun was already up, casting a soft golden hue through the curtains, but Lily remained unmoving on her bed, curled up under the covers. .The warmth of the blankets seemed to offer a cocoon of comfort, but it didnât soothe the storm raging in her mind. Lily didnât know how long she had been lying there, but the weight of her thoughts pressed down on her chest, making it hard to breathe. Why had she been so blind? How could she have missed all the signs? Alex had been nothing more than a predator, using her trust to gain access to the Alpha twins, to manipulate and deceive everyone around him.The silence of her room felt suffocating, as if it mirrored the emptiness inside her. She had no desire to face the world today, no energy to even get up. Everything felt so overwhelming, and all she could do was lay there, lost in the memory of the betrayal.The soft knock on her door broke through her haze. âMiss Lily?â a maidâs voice called from the other side.Lily didnât answer. She
The heavy oak doors of the schoolâs assembly hall creaked open, and students poured in, their voices low but buzzing with curiosity and unease. None of them knew what exactly was happening, but they could tell from the face of the teachers standing around, and the fact they had been summoned to the assembly as part of an emergency, that the announcement that awaited them wasn't the usual ones. The atmosphere was thick with tension, the weight of the announcement hanging over them like a storm cloud. Lily clutched her notebook tightly, the edges digging into her palms as Maya walked beside her, her face set in a hard, unreadable mask.The hall filled quickly, the hum of whispers growing louder with each passing second. Lucas and Liam stood at the front, their powerful presence undeniable even in silence. The principal, a tall man with graying hair and sharp features, stood stiffly behind the podium. Beside him was Alpha Dean, his broad shoulders and commanding aura instantly silen
The group hurried through the dark streets, their faces tense and their breaths coming in sharp bursts. They couldn't brush off this feeling of urgency that propelled them and pushed their legs further to move at such a fast pace.Lucas and Liam, the Alphas in the group were already ahead of Lily and Maya but they made sure they didn't give them too much of a distance and cause them to be cut off from each other.As Lily watched Lucas and Liam moving with tremendous speed in front of her, she couldn't help but feeling a sensation that was close to being free and accepted.Never in her life did she imagine she would get this kind of feeling for the Alpha twins but now that it was here, she accepted it wholeheartedly. When they reached the gym, Lily pushed open the doors with more force than necessary. The metal doors creaked loudly, and the faint echo of their footsteps filled the vast, dimly lit space. âSheâs gone,â Maya said, her voice barely above a whisper. Lily scanned the gy
The forest fell into a tense silence as Alex, Lucas, Liam, Lily, and Maya stood facing each other, their breaths forming mist in the cold night air. The weight of the revelations hung heavily between them, and each word spoken felt like the strike of a hammer on fragile glass. Lucasâs gaze was locked onto Alex, his jaw tight and his fists clenched at his sides. âHow long?â he demanded, his voice sharp as a blade. âHow long have you been planning this, Alex?â "What does it matter to you?" Alex asked, his voice more malicious than ever."Just answer the question" Lily said, her voice cutting through the atmosphere like a sharp knife. Alex smirked, though his eyes betrayed his exhaustion. âLonger than youâd think,â he replied, his tone smug yet strained. âYou Alphas think youâre untouchable, but youâre blind to the wolves lurking in the shadows.â Liam growled low in his throat, stepping forward. âAnd youâre the one in the shadows, Alex? Preying on those who trust you? Youâre path
The forest was alive with the symphony of natureâbranches creaked under the weight of the wind, and leaves rustled like whispers in the dark. The moonlight broke through the thick canopy, illuminating Lily as she bent over, hands on her knees, trying to catch her breath. She had ran all the way to the forest without a moment to rest, the fear for Lucas and Liamâs safety driving her forward.Now that she was here with them and she saw they were holding their ground against their adversary, she could finally breathe properly and take in air."Breathe Lily" Maya said as she placed her hand on Lily's back and began to ease her nerves. Her chest heaved, her heart pounding in her ears. Her hair clung to her damp face which was filled with sweat, but she didnât care. She had made it to Lucas and Liam and that was all that mattered. She straightened, her sharp eyes flicking between Lucas, Liam, and Alex. All three looked battered and bruised, their clothes torn, blood staining their skin
The moonlight filtered through the dense canopy of trees, casting long shadows on the forest floor. The night was eerily silent except for the sound of labored breathing and the crunch of leaves underfoot due to the intense battle between the forces of good and evil.Lucas and Liam stood side by side, their eyes locked on Alex, whose smirk only deepened despite the sweat glistening on his forehead. He whipped off his sweat as he made sure to keep his eyes on the Alpha twins, sure that they were ready to seize whatever opportunity they saw to take advantage of the situation and use it to defeat him."I have to say, this is the longest I've gone against an Alpha, but I guess it's mostly because I'm fighting against two of you and not one" Alex said, his chest falling and rising in a rhythmic way.Lucas and Liam growled at him, their sharp eyes showcasing the intensity inside both of them. âYouâve been a thorn in our side for far too long,â Lucas growled, his voice low and dangerous.
The atmosphere was electric, charged with tension that crackled in the air. Lexa stood in the center of the gym, her stance unyielding, her eyes filled with a fiery determination that sent chills down Mayaâs spine. Lily was by her side, her muscles coiled and ready for action, her breath shallow as she stared at Lexa, who had proven to be far more formidable than either of them had anticipated. "You really think you can take me down together?" Lexa sneered, her voice carrying an edge that cut like a blade. "You're nothing more than desperate girls clinging to false hope." Maya glanced at Lily, her voice barely above a whisper. "Are we really doing this? Sheâs stronger than she looks" Maya said as she steadied herself and tried to regulate her breathing so she won't be too exhausted.Lilyâs jaw tightened as she stepped forward. "We donât have a choice. Together, we can take her" Lily said.Maya stared at her, wondering if it would even be possible for them to accomplish.She knew
