"Owww." Cameron groaned in pain, jerking at the touch of the spirit on her skin. They were seated in the gym changing room and had skipped their first periods. Due to Phoenix's insistence,
Cameron had been forced to tell her the truth about what was wrong with her. Phoenix had forgotten she made a promise to her and had almost barged after Samantha.
Knowing how much trouble that would cause her. She pleaded fervently for her to let it go, in her response she insisted on seeing the wounds and help her treat her.
Phoenix kissed her teeth, "keep quiet and sit still."
Rolling her eyes, "as your lordship pleases."
Nursing on each scar the whip left on Cameron's body, brought tears to Phoenix's eyes she wondered what the poor girl did to deserve the awful treatment she gets from her own father.
Cameron is a sweet girl which was too pure, however it seems most of the pack members including her family see that as a waste of time. She had a deficiency and wasn't worthy of being associated with. Phoenix wish she had the ability to help her friend out of her sorrowful momemt.
However, she knew just what to do as payback to Samantha for messing with her best friend. Cameron doesn't need to know about it.
"Earth to Phoenix; hello!" Cameron called out, when she noticed Phoenix had lingered on one spot and didn't move beyond that.
Jolting out of her thought, "hey don't speak too loud."
Cameron laughed, "oh really."
"How do you contemplate on laughing in this kind of situation." She almost sounded like a rat caught up in between the door.
Cameron turned to face her, holding her shaky hands. As funky and brave Phoenix appears to be, she is quite emotional and cries when she feels deeply shaken by a situation. She is extremely soft hearted.
"I have learnt to accept the fate bestowed upon me by the moon goddess. All I need to do is avoid them as much as I can." She said.
Phoenix sniffed, "promise me you would let me know if you can't take it anymore."
Nodding her head, Cameron pulled her in for a hug. "I solemnly swear."
Letting out a laugh, "get off me." Packing up their bags as the bell for the next period came on. They both stepped out of the gym room. "That reminds me there is a rich kids college frat party I got invited to uptown. You are coming with me."
Shaking her head in refusal, "hell no, I'm not going. My dad would kill me."
"That's if he finds out. That man doesn't even want to see your face. You think he would notice you being missing for a few hours?"
"Samantha would make it a point of duty to make him notice."
"How about you just have a sleep over at my place then. You need to go out and have fun."
"Still, it's a college party Phoenix. We have heard stories of how they go."
"Trust me to always roll with the best, this party is safe and only people with class are invited. These are children of fucking rich werewolves and humans who are super fun and exciting. Don't you want to get a chance to have such fun in your lifetime? Come have fun with me mama." Phoenix pouted. "Don't be such a killjoy."
Cameron shake her head laughing, it was typical of Phoenix to hype a party on a weekday not caring about her assignments and missing of classes.
Phoenix's parents funded all of her excesses, just like Harry pays every bill in relation to Samantha; unlike her who had to work her butt off doing part time jobs to pay her student loan. Harry had totally ignored her and refused to do anything to take care of her. She worked with a pizza parlor after school, every day for five hours.
Partying was out of the picture for her, but having a friend like Phoenix made it sound like it was essential to living. Samantha was no exception, her grades don't matter to her. All she cares about is being the life of the party and getting hailed by everyone.
"It won't kill you to try this just once. You might never get this chance again." Phoenix tried to enlighten her, becoming agitated by the passing minute.
Thinking for a moment, Cameron heaved. "Fine, i will try to make it. After watching out for the witch."
"I would be waiting at the back of the house for you." Phoenix kissed her quickly on the cheek, "I will head to class now, got notes to catch up on." She said, walking hurriedly down the hall.
That surprised Cameron, Phoenix was never keen on heading to class. She was always whining about how draining it was. Heading to her own class, she looked around.
This was when she loves to walk the school premises. When there is practically no one around to mock her or jeer at her. She really hoped she wasn't making a wrong decision by accepting to go with Phoenix to the frat party. Remembering the scar on her body, she snorted.
Even when she didn't do anything she got beat for it. Might as well get away with this one as much as she can. Raising her head up, she increased her pace towards the next class she had.
**********
Phoenix grinned widely to herself as she sat down in her chair, focusing on the board like her life depended on it. She couldn't help to act natural, it made her feel so good indulging in the act. There was one thing she and Samantha had in common and that was the courses they picked out.
They both have classes on literature. When she had left Cameron at the hallway, she had sneaked out to the school garage to deflate the four tyres of Samantha's precious car. One of the things Samantha cherished the most aside Jared was her car. The expensive shit had her feeling fly.
She couldn't wait to see her reaction when she gets to know of what she had done. After the class which gave way to their recess, everyone began running around just as Phoenix strolled majestically towards the park. Students stood around whispering to each other, as Samantha let out an hysterical scream continuously on noticing the condition of her car.
Phoenix mentally high fived herself, "serves you right bitch! That's what you get for messing with my friend."
"Did you know about this?" Cameron asked behind her, making her almost jump.out of her skin.
Placing a hand on her chest, "what the hell Cameron? You scared me."
Folding her hands together, "if you weren't hididng anything, why would you be scared." Cameron indirectly accused, raising a brow.
Phoenix tilted her head to the back giving a cute smile, "when I told you I wouldn't go after her, I never mentioned that I wouldn't touch her things. I just said not her."
Cameron gave a half smile, "believe me she would skin you alive when she gets to know."
"This skin?" Phoenix asked touching her skin, "that is never going to happen. I am as tough as leather."
"You bet." Cameron replied as they laughed loudly, leaving the scene.
Sometimes Micheal did hate his job, but can't do much or complaints cause he worked to get there. His butts burnt half way in a bid to prove himself. Staring down at the pack files that laid In front of him, he released some of the other lesser packs weren't paying their dues right. He snorted, thinking of how much they are all playing with fire. Knowing he wouldn't hesitate to burn them.Closing the files, he stood up to grab drink from the fridge he had, had installed for situations like this In his office. He felt exhausted by the work he had compiled for him for the week. Swinging the beer, he gulped the content with his hands in his pants pocket watching the whole city as it bustled with activities.To deviate his attention whenever the work starts to get to him he stares out his thoughts taunting him.Questions of if he was doing enough nagged at the back of his mind. His thoughts revolved around too much darkness, they had consume the totality of him.He had grown up knowing wh
As Cameron and Phoenix walked into the lady's room. Phoenix strides toward the mirror and takes out her red lipstick. While Cameron stares at her, still glancing at her wristwatch now and then."Come on hurry up!""Relax girl, is not as if the teacher gonna reprimand us"Cameron rolls her eyes. "I have to be in class""I care about class but I care more about my looks""Who doesn't care about it?"Phoenix arched up her brow at her. She doesn't need to spell out that her dear best friend doesn't care about her looks and she doesn't entirely blame her. She knows her story and so Cameron just didn't have it in her."Don't give me that look""What look?" Phoenix feigns to be ignorant of her statement. "You know what I mean""Fine! I do" Phoenix said. She put her lipstick into her bag and glanced at Cameron through the mirror. "Are you seriously not going to come to the party?""We've talked about this Phoenix""We did but then you didn't say anything specific""My Dad's not gonna let me
Silence erupts in the room as Cameron strolled down the stairs, tip-toeing into the living room. She could hear the sound of cricket as the door opened. That was Samantha. She was sneaking out of the house as well to attend what Cameron assumed to be the same party Phoenix invited her to.When the door closed, Cameron dashed out through the back door. she was sure Jared and Samantha wouldn't dare pass through so as not to wake the neighborhood with the sound of his old truck.A car Cameron would option for the car junk but Samantha wouldn't. She called it sporty and would often make out with Jared in the backseat. Cameron had caught them once or twice but she had kept it to herself. The last thing she wanted was to implicate Samantha. Although she doesn't care so much about her sister, the last thing she wanted was for the tables to turn around and for her father to be on her neck.As she watches Samantha and Jared speed off, Cameron exhales. That was so close but she had managed to g
Cameron's eyes widened and she stiffened in his arms as Liam kissed her for a moment. Realizing herself, Cameron pushed him backward and landed a hard slap on his face."Are you out of your mind?"Liam smirks and quickly captures her lips once again, he explores the corners of her mouth and Cameron's eyes fly further open. She struggles, trying to break away from him but Liam holds her still, biting gently on her lower lips and she opens her mouth for him to gain further access.Liam kissed her, exploring the treasures hidden in her depth, and tasted every corner of her mouth. She opened her mouth feeling the butterfly kisses he bestowed on her. Cameron has never felt anything like this. No one has kissed her like this and so she couldn't resist him any longer. Cameron kissed him back and moving gently, she followed his trail.The intense sensation of his deep kisses evoked the weekend on her knees and she held him. Their kisses built anticipation of more passion to come. But Cameron
Before Cameron could fathom what was happening, she was already in Liam's apartment and he had guided her into his cozy well furnished living room."Do you live here alone?""Yes I do"Cameron nods her head looking around, she strides towards the ottoman, running her hand gently on it while still locking eyes with Liam to make a move at her. She smiled looking at the figurines in his living room. "You have a nice place" she licks her lips and Liam arches up his brow at her. He wanted her to make the first move since she agreed to come home with him. "Are you going to gawk at me all night?""Maybe" "Do you have a boyfriend?" Liam couldn't help but ask."Are you jealous?" Cameron said hoping she could see right through him but she couldn't. Liam was a hard man to crack."I'm not jealous. I have never been jealous""Do you have a girlfriend?"Liam takes a step closer to her, he didn't want the night to go on with them only talking."I have a lot of women around me. Why? Are you jealou
"Yea Rosa talk to me" Cameron doesn't need to turn around to put a name to that familiar voice. She could tell who it belonged to, it was Liam and that made a smile form on her face."I didn't mean that Alpha Liam""What did you mean then?""Nothing… well I… I–""I returned and found you poisoning the heart of my guest. Cameron"Cameron turned around and gazed at him. He looked even hotter than last night. Was all Alpha's like this? She was so happy he was the one who did it first with her. Although Last night wasn't epic like she had thought. She didn't dread it either but instead wanted to repeat it with him."Rosa didn't mean it that way""How else did she mean it?" He arched his brow at her and Cameron couldn't bring her lips to move.He intimidated her and made her feel so Little. She had thought Samantha and Phoenix made her feel so little but no. It was Liam, his demeanor was intimating and his looks made her feel so out of place in his life. If only she had it in her like Sam
Cameron couldn't contain the glee on her face any longer as she headed to school. Going on a three day sex- spree with Liam may have been out of the question but it was certainly adventurous for her. This was what she wanted and now she had it.She felt complete as she made her way into the library where she was sure Phoenix would be studying or at least pretending to be. Girls like phoenix had nothing to worry about but she had everything to worry about so whenever she came around in the library. It was to study and not to goof around. Although she doesn't mind goofing around a little but that was all it was ever going to be; a little."Where the hell have you been?" Phoenix whispered, yelled. She was worried sick about her friend for three days. She feared something bad had happened to her but nothing happened to her. Cameron wanted to be a woman and she was a woman."Sorry I got out""Out where?""Where did you go?""I went on a journey""To where? You were missing for three days.
"Let me think about it""There is nothing to think about here""What do you mean?""Is it a yes or a no. Think about it. I get to leave your life and you can enjoy the mansion and everything. I'm sure you have been aiming for this all this time""Yes I have and maybe you are right. I really want to get rid of you so much so don't worry I will do that. But don't you ever show your face to me ever again""Don't you dare threaten me and also you should learn to really stay in your lane""Fine I will" Samantha's turns on her heels and leaves. This was the time to get rid of Cameron and her mother wasn't going to pass on this opportunity. If Cameron was out of their lives, they would have only Harry to contend with. Not that she cared about him, the man didn't scare her. Only good thing she got from him was that he paid for her tuition and changed her wardrobe whenever she wanted.Samantha never really had to work for anything at all but Cameron had. Life was hard for her but now she wante
Sitting on the window sill as she stared out the window, Cameron was disheartened that Liam lied to her, deep down she wanted to give him another chance but when the fear of having to get hurt over again crossed her mind she knew she had to reconsider having to suffer her poor heart. "A penny for your thoughts?" Cecilia asked as she popped her head through the open doorway."No""You have been staring out the window like this for months, you should reconsider him you know""How can you ask me to reconsider him after all he did to me""The truth is about the moonstone, every Alpha of every pack always has a replica, a fake moonstone is always kept around to confuse the likes of Tim and in this case, Liam has been the real keeper of the real moonstone while the rest of the pack are with the fake moonstone to deceive thieves or those who will want to Insult the moon goddess. Liam saw the opportunity to help you to get close to you and so he did what he had to do". Cameron doesn't say a
When Lisa heard all that happened with Liam and Cameron, she was not happy that they were still not back together. It took a lot for them to be back together and just when she thought that they were finally going to be back together, Cameron thought Liam was deceiving but it wasn't anything like that. Cameron didn't give him a chance to explain how the fake moonstone came about, there was so much she didn't know even though she was the leader of her pack.Liam has been down for weeks and has refused to return to the company. Beta Kim was the one handling everything in his absence while he sat in the house trying to figure out a way to earn her forgiveness. It was something that he now had control over since she changed, he just couldn't predict or tell what it was she wanted.When a knock comes on her door, she glances at her Wall clock, Kim was here earlier than expected. With a warm smile on her face, she took long steps towards the door and hastily opened the door only to see Josh
"You can hold it there but you will be only holding onto nothing" "What do you mean?" TyrionTim was furious as he glared at Liam"What you are having with you is a fake moonstone""What?" He scoffed. "Is this the best you can come up with Cameron? A fake moonstone""You don't believe it is a fake one?""How can it be fake and be kept away in a precious place""You don't believe and think that this is a joke" "Yes, it is, if this moonstone is a fake one then what are you doing here?""Toss it on the ground"Right before everyone's eyes, he tosses the moonstone and it lands on the groundbreaking which surprised everyone, especially Cameron. With a single look into his eyes realized that once again he deceived her, he knew that the moonstone was a fake but still led them to believe that what they had was a real one. For a moment she couldn't bring her mouth to talk as she stared at what was once the real moonstone before looking at him as he took out the real moonstone as Bullock was
Cameron kept walking into the forest with Liam right behind her. She knew that he was still staring at her butt but tried to ignore him. She could feel his gaze burning through her and was about to turn to him when her eyes fell on Tyrion, Tim and Bullock kissing. Her feet shuffled around detritus and she quickly dragged Liam down which only made him hold her tightly."What is it?""Look at them, they are lovers, don't you think it has been a long time based on your experience?" He glared at her, he understood perfectly that she was mad at him but when she kept comparing him to having so many things, it just pissed him off and that wasn't something that he wanted."You don't have to always bring up my wrong you know"Her eyes softened, this time it wasn't intentional but was the only way to explain the situation."I'm sorry but that was the only way to explain the situation""I am sorry for what I did to you alright and to answer your question, yes"Anger seeped through her as she lo
"You should be more careful sweetheart"Cameron rolled her eyes about to stand up but he held her firmly so she couldn't stand up."What are you doing? Let me go""Why should I let you go?" Liam was about to press his lips closer to her and kiss her when she quickly pushed him off and stood up. "This is the reason why I shouldn't trust you""Come on honey, you know you wanted this as well" "In your dreams because that's something that will never happen" She was about to walk away when he held her hand."How are you so sure?""Of course, I am sure about this?" Liam pulled her into his arms and she struggled throwing a death glare at him. "Let me go now, Liam""I told you that if you fall right into my arm, I won't let you go" He stated matter of factly which only made her frown, She has not heard any ridiculous thing in her life. He has not said a word like that to her in the past and not now. They only started getting together recently and if it wasn't for this mission, she wouldn't
He arched up his brow at her daring her to complete the statement and he will not hesitate to kiss her until she forgives him."I have not always been like this you know, I had a tough childhood"She kept quiet, not able to move her lips, she remembered when Rosa mentioned this. She was interested in finding it all about him but now things were different and she wasn't interested at all about him, the moonstone was all she cared about yet she just couldn't speak up."My father was loved by my mother dearly and she always wanted the best for him""Just as how I did?""Yes, my father still hated my mother and cheated on him, the last one of which was when he killed her. That made me think that love was just a joke and I shouldn't burden my heart with falling in love"So many emotions run through her as she looks at him, her eyes are softened. "I'm sorry Liam" she whispered and he nodded his head. She was sincere with her feelings and he loves that about her. Cameron wasn't the sort of w
"What do you mean?" He asked in a low tone."I don't want to deal with a complicated man, yes I am in love with you and perhaps I may never stop falling in love with you but I want you to know that I am going to kill this feeling for you because I am tired""Lisa" A tear escaped his eyes and he ran his hand through his face embarrassed to be seen crying. As he attempts to touch her again, she moves away from him. "Don't touch me" She stepped backward. "We can't keep going back and forth all the time, I will make mistakes Liam and probably I will do something that will hurt you but what will you do, are you going to hate me for the rest of your life? Are you going to keep malice and I will have to apologize? Does your ego always have to get in the way"He frowned, he had not liked her indicating that his ego was getting in the way of him ever forgiving him or even apologizing."Give me another chance and I will be a different man""What difference are you going to make?""Just trust m
Lisa was preparing some waffles when the telephone rang, she tensed up as she stared at the phone. She sighs, stomping her feet as she moves to pick up the telephone."Hello"The person on the other end kept silent which made her almost immediately exhale deeply. She wasn't taking a moment to think about the strange calls that had been coming into her phone for a while now. It had been this way ever since Josh attacked her, she would receive suspicious calls on her line. Glancing around the house for a moment, the doorbell rang, and she breathed out taking a moment to calm her nervousness. For some unknown reason, she was beginning to feel strange.As she yanked the door wide, she almost jumped, seeing Kim standing by her door with some roses in his hand."What are you doing here?" She looked past him trying to make certain he wasn't lost."Lisa""Are you lost?" Anger seeped through him seeing him standing outside her door."Can you let me in?""Why should I let you in?""I don't know
He stood there staring at them, lost for words to say, he already knew that Cameron was very nice to Kim but never saw them talking to each other. That made him feel guilty. Earlier on, he noticed the way she was talking to Rosa. They had gotten back together once again and he was the only one who seemed not to be able to get along with her. "I will see you around" She nodded her head as she hastily left, he had a feeling she was running away from him so he wouldn't try to make her stay the night over in his place. Liam arched up his brow, he had a feeling that TyrionTim knew about his presence but was purposely ignoring him. "It was nice to see you again Cameron"He could imagine smiling at him before walking away while Kim stared at her till she was out of sight. "What tickles your fancy?""You shouldn't act like the jealous boyfriend you know""I am not!" Liam stated but his anger got the best of him which only made Kim laugh at how his Alpha turns red when he was jealous. That
