"Darling? We are going to miss you," Dad said while hauling Zoe closer for a tight hug and perking her on the forehead. When he was done with his pitiful goodbye it was Lillian's turn. "I would miss you so much baby Zoe, I mean college would be a life-changing experience in the human world! You are going to leave far away from home," she said in between hugs as she rubbed Zoe's back.Zoe just couldn't help but let out a drop of tears. "I'm going to miss you guys both, I promise," Zoe said as she used the back of her hands to clean the drop of tears that touched her already done makeup. "Moreover, Alex and Dora are both going to be with me," Zoe said, assuring them that she would be fine.They were still exchanging goodbyes when Dora's driver pulled up in front of their home. "Bitch, you need to hurry your ass or we might miss our plane," she yelled, making Zoe's dad hurriedly help her out with the luggage. Zoe was about to slide into the car when she got a text from Alex. Alex and Z
"Where have you been, you got me worried," Zoe said as she hugged him very tight, I mean more than she has ever done but he did something shocking, and he pulled away."We have to talk, Zoe," he said, making Zoe anxious. Zoe wondered if what she feared the most had happened. She marveled at if he had gotten tired of her. "All ears, you can tell me anything and I am willing to listen," she said, trying to hold his hand tightly. "You remember I told you that I was going for the after-party?" he said with a sad grin plastered on his face. Zoe hated the fact that he was moody and she wished she could make him smile."Yes, well?" Zoe asked in much curiosity. "Well, I got drunk and I had a one-night stand with some total stranger! A human girl and I regret it," he said bowing his head in shame. To be honest, Zoe didn't know how to react but she just had to let it go if she truly loved him. She could see how sorry he was and she just couldn't let him feel worse even if it was hurting her b
It had been two weeks since Zoe got into such an accident and hadn't opened her eyes. Alex felt bad, sad, miserable, just call it whatever you want to. I'm only Glad that after telling Mr. Zander the entire truth he still didn't resent me. It was snowy today and I sat down at the hospital bed with my hand intertwined with Zoe's. I know how much she cherishes it, "water! Water," I heard the faint voice of Zoe. I thought I had heard wrong as I placed my ear close to her and just as I heard, Zoe needed water. I couldn't console the joy as I rushed to get her some water. I missed her so much and I hope she doesn't resent me, after taking the water she held my hand into her. "What about your son? I wouldn't object if you want to be with him please just don't leave me! I don't know who I would be without you," she finally said. I couldn't believe she still cared about me after what I had done. I must be lucky because the Goddess had blessed me with my true soul mate, I could notice the t
The alarm kept buzzing beside the drawer close to Zoe's bed. It made her queasy but she still had to put up with it if she was ever ready to be early. She had to stretch her hands lazily to hit snooze but befuddled by sleep she knocked it off the bedside drawer. It struck the ground and stopped buzzing, which she was pleased about. ”Zoe, wake up! You are going to be late for practice," her dad yelled at her from somewhere beyond her room at six in the morning on a Saturday.Maybe a little introduction of these she-wolves would do. This is Zoe Zanders. She lives in Amsterdam, Netherlands. She had lived there all her life. Mind you, she thinks she is not a very attractive person. To go straight to the very painful point! She thinks she is the definition of ugly. When I say ugly, that's what she thinks she truly is.You probably don't believe what I just said, but here's a little detailing of her that I bet will make you believe her. She was that girl with the very short messy hair, a
Zoe parked her bicycle close to the parking lot and bent over to chain the bicycle to the rail but for some reason, it was giving her an arduous time. 'Oh dammit,' she thought, frustrated. She was about to give up when she heard someone call her name. ”Zoe?" She knew that voice. It was the voice of her best friend: Dora luggard. She was the Alpha's daughter; they have been best friends since seventh grade. She wasn't nerdy like Zoe was. She was the direct opposite of what Zoe was.She had long hair, smooth skin, and beautiful features, and her fashion sense was rather...out there. Who would think The Alpha's daughter would hang out with a nerd like Zoe? I mean all the high school celebrities want to hang out with her. Dora's parents were wealthy people. Wealthy enough to own a mansion! no jokes, you could get lost in their house. Dora has a big brother who I find attractive—not that he cares. He was one of the school hotties and a bit of a bad boy.Back to Dora! She doesn't come
It was official. Zoe loathed the sound of her alarm. She wondered why she had set the damn thing. It was Sunday for Goodness sake. Sundays in the supernatural world weren't special or great in any way. Zoe thought Sundays were supposed to be for resting but she had to train with her dad. Most people around the estate just go on with their usual lives. The funniest fact was that these same people could kill a person without flinching when the time of war against the enemies arises. They were always ready to attack.They were sure diligent to their pack when the time arises.Zoe was part of the people who were ready and prepared for any situation. Her father worked at the packhouse! He was Dora's dad's right-hand Beta.She had woken up late, and with a headache too. She glared at the alarm which still made that horrendous beeping sound she hated."Fuck! So annoying." She gritted under her breath. She picked it up and tried to put the damn thing off, but it only seemed to worsen her he
”Zoe? Honey, honey." the voice of Lilian echoed loudly in Zoe's ear. Zoe wondered why she was in her sleep. ”It's 7.00 AM and you don't want to keep Luke waiting.” Lilian explained further. ”You mean it's 7.00 am already?” Zoe asked Lilian still with sleepy eyes. "Oh shit, f...k the alarm." This was frustrating on the first resumption, Zoe immediately changed to a towel as she kept stepping on the scattered cloth everywhere.Immediately she took her shower, she instantly fixed on her uniform, the school in the pack goes with uniforms. She took the textbooks from her drawer before shutting the room door. She was hit with the delicious scent of strawberry pie the minute she got downstairs. ”Oh, mum, I can't wait to taste your pie?” she said, pecking her dad on the face. Her dad glanced at her like she had bumped her head somewhere. ”What?” Zoe raised her hands in defense. She understood why her dad stared at her that way but she hopes he doesn't make it a big deal.She noticed Luke
Zoe felt the need to use the restroom. She left the classroom when she felt like her stomach must be spoiled by the different variety of food she had eaten. Zoe knew that she ate a lot. She was in the school hallway when she bumped into a new face in school. She was a girl actually and Zoe noticed that she was dressed so cool and looked pretty. ”Hey,” she said glaring at Zoe sheepishly. ”Hi,” Zoe replied.Zoe felt like she was gonna boost anytime from now if she didn't get to the restroom. She was already twisting her legs in numerous dancing styles. She was so pressed right now. ”I'm Bella William, you don't look great! I see you are in a tight nook right now.” Bella said as she peeked at Zoe's legs. ”Yes, sure! I need to use the restroom quickly.” Zoe explained. ”Sure, I would gladly wait outside the restrooms cause I need some little help with direction.” Bella confessed with a slight smile. Zoe didn't bother objecting as she raced into the restroom. Some minutes later she w

The school year had come to an end and all that the students talked about was prom. Zoe had seen Alex in school once in a while, he wasn't much into people the way he normally was. Zoe was going to ask Dora but she didn't want her to get the wrong idea. The more she saw him in school. The more he looked sick to her, the prom was always something every teenager tends to be happy about. I mean they get to be asked to prom by their crush, boyfriends, and friends. Most importantly they get to wear some fancy gowns and suits. Luke had asked Zoe to prom and she had agreed, not that she could turn him down! Right? He was her boyfriend after all.Bella had moved on from Alex which Zoe was glad about. She sometimes talks about him casually with her but she tends to brush off anything about him, she had found another guy to obsess about. She always talked about him every time they met up, and Zoe guessed he was their new neighbor.Dora, and Parker we're still the best of crazy couples in schoo
Zoe immediately tried to get to the door of their Bella's but she was quick to throw her a punch in the face causing a nosebleed which Zoe totally deserved. Zoe's things were thrown outside. Zoe tried to open the door but she had locked her outside. "Bella, what about we talk about this! You totally misunderstood whatever you must have seen." Zoe said, hoping she would understand. "I really hate you Zoe and I hope you get into an accident and die, how could you do this to me." She said amidst tears. Zoe understood she was heartbroken and needed some space, I mean Bella had every right to be furious. Zoe turned to notice Alex still standing there, he was about to come closer. "Alex, just go home already! this was enough drama already for me," Zoe said walking past him and entering her car, she just couldn't believe this was happening.Zoe decided to place her key in her steering and zoom off but she just couldn't help herself to drive home because her hands were quite shaky. She co
The day before Bella's birthday she called and asked Zoe to help her babysit her cousins. Apparently, they were giving her tons of trouble, and if Zoe wanted her friend to stay sane. She needed to help her out. Zoe had to get up early and go over to her house, within the first few moments of being there with her cousins, Ricky and Ronnie. Zoe realized that Bella had been totally dramatic, they were fine and had no issue.Zoe thought Bella was probably bored and wanted somebody to talk to. Which kind of pissed her off, Zoe felt like she could be sleeping at home rather than being in her quiet house. Zoe could be sleeping at home while hugging her pillow tightly. Instead, she was stuck with Bella watching some freaking cartoon. Both her cousins are under five years old. It's not like they can watch MTV and keep themselves entertained. Zoe was just reading a cute message from Luke when a notification popped up from Alex. She hesitated before reading it. What was she going to tell him
"Oh my Gosh, will you please stop making faces at that baby and help me before Dora probably shows up?" Bella said, annoyed. It was the third time she had said it and right now was the fourth. Bella's parents had decided she had her birthday party at a fancy hotel, her dad apparently knows the owner, so they got a discount.Zoe and Dora and a few other girls were invited to spend the night at the hotel. Ordering room service and getting a manicure, her birthday was a few more days but she asked Zoe to come early and set up a bunch of decorations in the room they had reserved. Balloons, and streamers! That kind of crap. They were hanging stuff up when a woman with a baby girl walked by.Obviously, Zoe had to go see the little princess. Who can really resist a pup? "Sorry, Bella," Zoe muttered before chuckling. She went back to what she was doing afterward. "We should go swimming when we are done, the pool is awesome here," Bella said. "They have a hot tub right?" Zoe asked. "Mm, hm."
Anyway, it's Tuesday night! January is just about to finish. A very crappy month in Zoe's opinion. Nothing seemed to work out, sigh. Zoe, Bella, and Dora are chilling in Dora's gigantic bed. They were going through her enormous closet trying on a different outfit, Bella was helping her choose what to wear and Zoe just lay on the bed staring at them. Zoe has to admit that she was proud of how quickly Bella dropped Alex out of their conversation. Out of her phone and basically out of her life, maybe she finally realized that there is more of life than boys. This was the reason why soulmates or mates are hard to believe. Some married couples who believe they are soulmates are divorced or having quarrels and killing one another somewhere.That sounds really hypocritical coming from Zoe though. I mean the girl who is torn in between two guys, ahh well! "Oh my gosh, I look fat in this dress," Dora complained in front of the mirror. Zoe was stretched on her bed now playing games on her ph
During a later class, Zoe and Bella were discussing her birthday which was approaching soon! "Well, I did want to spend my birthday with Alex but that is not going to happen anymore," Bella said as her face darkened for a second before she smiled again. "I was thinking you, Dora and a few other girls could have a sleepover at my house or something." She said,"Sounds cool but what gift do you want?" Zoe asked. "Hmm, surprise me!" she said. "Bell, I have been trying to come up with a gift idea-" Zoe tried to say but Bella was quick to cut her off. "Fine, how about I make a list of random things I want and you can choose one for me?" she suggested. "Yes, that much better," Zoe said as the teacher handed out an assignment that kept them busy for the rest of the class. Afterward, they were heading to biology when Zoe spotted Alex down the hallway coming in their direction! "Uh," Zoe mumbled. "What, oh, I'll be in here! Let me know when he is gone," Bella said when she noticed Alex. She
