Chapter 1

Chapter 1

POV Lilly

I sighed as we pulled up to the house.

"Here we are." my Mom said, trying to hide her nervousness.

I looked over at her and smiled. She and I looked alike, both with blond hair and bright green eyes. We were both about 5 feet 5 inches and slender. Most people knew right away that we were related.

"The house is nice" I observed and she nodded.

"It looks just like when we left it" she replied.

It was a cute two story house. Not huge but not small either. It had a small garden out front but I knew that my Aunt Iris had a big one in the back too. I smiled at the rosemary planted by the gate and gestured to it to show my mom.

She smiled too but I could see the anxiety all over her. In the lines under her eyes, in the stoop of her shoulders, everywhere. I've never seen her like this, even when the coven was right behind us.

I was about to press her for information when I was tackled by a dark haired blur.

"Oh, Lilly! I've missed you so much!" Jasmine yelled as we both fell over.

"Calm down, Jasmine. Don't kill the poor girl" Aunt Iris called as she walked out of the house and gave my mom a huge hug.

"I'm so glad that you're both here. We've missed you so much this last year" she added.

Jasmine and Iris looked as much alike as my mother and I did. It's just odd that they look nothing like us. They both have dark brown eyes and and almost black hair. They are curvy and stand at 5 feet 3 inches. Most people would never dream that were we all family.

Jasmine got off me and helped me up with a grin.

"We have a room all set for you, Aunt Rose but Lilly, you'll have to share with me. Is that okay?" Jas asked knowing perfectly well that I'd rather share with her than have my own room.

"You know that it is" I laughed and pulled her into a proper hug.

I've missed them in the past year. We've been together my whole life and it has made running from the coven easier. It didn't bother me to have to move all the time since my best friend was always with us.

It's been just the four of us for as long as I can remember. I guess that Jasmine's father was with us for a while but he died when I was just a baby. No one talks about him much but that's better than my father who no one will even mention. I asked my mom about him once. The look on her face was heartbreaking. She just looked at me and shook her head. I never asked again.

You might be wondering why we are always running. That goes way back to before Jas and I were even born. My grandmother did something that pissed off her old coven royally and she took her two daughters and ran. No one will tell Jas and I exactly what Grandma did but it's so bad that they're still after us. The coven is extremely powerful and they will kill us if they find us.  Evidently that's why my Grandma left with my Aunt and Mother. They ran for a couple years before settling down right here in this very house. That's right, we're about to move in to my Aunt's and mom's childhood home.

Mom and Aunt Iris grew up here. It sounded like they had a fairly good childhood here too. But then my Grandma died and something happened that made my Mom have to leave. My Aunt couldn't bare to be apart from her sister so she left too but she kept up with the house.

They met our father's around the same time and Jasmine and I were born on the same day, within a few hours of each other. We love that. We've literally been together our whole lives, until last year that is.

The coven was closing in on us and Iris said that we had to come back here.

"It's the only place that's safe." she said to my mom. My mom shook her head though.

"It wouldn't be safe for me and you know it" Mom argued as Aunt Iris sighed.

"It would be if you would just talk to him. He wouldn't care. He could be safe." Iris replied but my mom shook her head again.

With that, Iris and Jasmine moved here to Hudsonville while Mom and I ran to California. Don't get me wrong, Cali is beautiful but I hated it without Jas. The Coven almost caught me a few days ago and Mom decided that she had no other choice but to follow Iris and Jasmine to Hudsonville. That wasn't the only reason we left California but we won't get into that right now.

After we all hugged, Iris and Jasmine ushered us into the house.

"It looks just the same" Mom whispered and Iris nodded.

"The girls are sharing Mom's old room. You have your old room and I have mine" Iris explained and we all worked at unloading our car. After we got everything inside, Jasmine helped me lug my suitcases upstairs to a large bedroom.

"This is us" She announced and I looked around.

The room was beautiful with two twin beds on either wall and a door to the bathroom between them along with a ladder up to a loft space. There was a large window on one wall and the other wall contained two doors that I guessed went to walk in closets. The room contained two desks and two vanities as well. It was done in pale rose, lavender and white but had accents of grey that kept it from being too bright.

"This is wonderful" I exclaimed and Jas grinned.

"We can use the loft for our alter and spell casting" she explained and I nodded.

"We even have our own bathroom!" I turned to Jas and hugged her.

"Thanks for sharing your room with me. You didn't have to go to all the trouble" I added and she laughed.

"Are you kidding? I've had this set up like this the whole time, just hoping that you would come" she replied and I smiled.

"So... what's this town like? Any idea why our Moms are convinced that its safe here?" I asked.

"I still haven't figured that out but this town is strange." She answered as she helped me unpack.

"Mom is watching me like a hawk. She has forbidden me from going out in the woods especially at night. I'm only able to go to school and come home. I've made almost no friends." She explained and I frowned.

I knew that Aunt Iris was a bit protective but she's never been this bad.

"That's the other thing, the school is strange. Like the kids are weird." she continued.

"Kids are always weird" I laughed but she shook her head.

"Not like this. Most of the school is divided. One side is ruled by this girl named Ember and her cousin Cedric and the other side is run but this guy named Griffin and his friends. They all sit in their groups. Have lunch in them, everything. It's like nothing I've ever seen." she explained.

"So do the two sides not get along?" I asked and she shrugged.

"That's the other weird part. Most of the time they are fine, a little strained but okay but once in a while, there's a fight between a few people. Ember and Griffin never seem to fight and they always stop it before it gets too bad." She answered.

"That's a bit strange but at least we don't have to worry about fights all the time. So.. what side do you belong to?" I asked and she shook her head.

"Neither. I'm usually alone or with one or two of the other 'outsiders'" she laughed and I stared at her.

"Outsiders?" I inquired and she nodded.

"Yep. That's what they call us." she added and I sighed.

"Of course, Cedric was trying to get me to have lunch with him at the end of the year but I refused" she went on.

"Cedric, huh? Is he cute?" I pushed and she shrugged.

"He is but..." she drifted off.

"But?" I pushed.

"But he's strange. I don't know. Something is off here. I can feel it. It's uneasy here. Like everyone's waiting for violence or something. You'll see." she replied and I sighed.

"Do you think that it's safe?" I asked and she shrugged again.

"I think that we're safe from the coven but there is something else here." she answered and I sighed.

"As long as we're together we'll be okay" I said with resolve more for me than for her.

"I hope so" she smiled and hugged me again.

Chapter 2
POV LillyWe spent the rest of the day unpacking, catching up and settling in. Mom and I explained to Jasmine and Iris what happened in California in more detail. Needless to say, they were worried about what it could mean for us but Iris waved our concerns away after a few moments."They wouldn't dare come here to look for you." she assured us."Why?" I pressed but she just shrugged."Trust us. Your aunt is right. We're safe here." my mom agreed and then changed the subject. Aunt Iris made us dinner that night and we all sat down together."So school starts for you girls in a few days. I've already taken care of the paperwork so you'll be all set." Aunt Iris began as we ate. Mom looked worried but nodded."We need to talk about some rules" Mom began."Jasmine already knows but no going into the woods without letting us know." Iris piped in and Mom nodded in agreement."How are we supposed to fora

 POV LillyI looked on nervously as the trio got closer. I looked at Jasmine and nodded towards the door but she shook her head."Hey! Jasmine, right?" The girl called out as they got close."Yeah, and you're Nikini." Jasmine replied, trying to sound bored. It probably convinced them but I knew her too well. She was nervous. "Yep but please call me Nik. This is Theo " she nodded to the sweet looking boy."Hi" he smiled even bigger."This is Dolph." she put her hand on the back of the scary looking one.He nodded but didn't say anything."Yeah. I've had classes with them before" Jasmine replied. She stared at Nik for a moment in silence. It was awkward to say the least."Who's this with you?" Nik finally asked, gesturing to me."This is Lilly." Jasmine replied stiffly. I sighed."Hi" I waved and smiled. Theo held out his hand and I shook it. Nik did the sa

POV GriffinWhen Nik and the others got back, I met them in the bar."How was the rest of the mall?" I asked as I sat in the booth next to Nik. She shrugged. "It was okay. Jasmine and Lilly were something though." Theo replied. My eyes snapped to him."What do you mean?" I demanded.Theo chuckled, "I've never seen anyone withstand Nik's icy moments of silence and Dolph's intimidation tactics." I felt strangely proud and happy at that but I didn't know why. I felt my wolf stir. He's been riled up all day and I couldn't figure out why. Nik waved a hand in my face and I realized that they had been talking to my and I was staring off into space."You okay?" she asked as I took a deep breath, smelling something wonderful."I'm good. I like your new lotion" I replied as I got up to get a drink. She frowned and looked confused as I walked away.POV LillyJasmine and I booke

Chapter 5
POV Griffin (The night before)After drinking with my crew until late evening, I had found a girl to take back to my room. I was doing just that when Dad linked me and ordered me to his office."I've got to go. Go home" I told the confused and pissed girl. She made a face but shut up when she saw my glare and hurried away. I stomped to Dad's office and walked in."What's going on?" I asked as I looked around. Graves my Dad's Beta and Boris the Gamma were there along with Dolph, Nik, Theo and one of our trackers named Tom. "Tom just got back from following those girls today. He wants to tell us about it." Dolph replied and I furrowed my brow."Why didn't he just link us?" I demanded and Tom sighed."I can't. I've been trying for hours. I can't even shift right now" Tom answered and I looked at him in surprise."What!" I exclaimed and Dad put his hands up. "Everyone calm down. Let's figure

 POV Griffin"We better get to class" Jasmine said behind Lilly, breaking us out of our stupor. Lilly pulled her hand away and stepped back from me quickly. I didn't like that one bit and I growled lowly."Jasmine's right. We've got to go. See you later!" she called as she turned and refused to look at me.I reached out to grab her arm but she rushed away with Jasmine behind her. I was enraged and started to chase after her. How dare she walk away from me! Nik held me back, though."Calm down. We know where they're going." she reminded me and I took a deep breath of her lingering scent to calm myself. Theo exchanged a look with Lance and Lance nodded back at him."I'll see you at lunch" Lance said and gave Theo a kiss and walked off."Is she really your mate?" Theo whispered after he left and I nodded slowly. "What are you going to do?" Dolph pressed. I had always said that I woul

 POV GriffinI growled again as I watched her hurry away. I was sick of walking her run away from me. At least this time, I didn't need anyone to hold me back. That's progress, right?"You're going to lose your voice if you keep growling like that" Theo joked and I rolled my eyes.Axel, Stone and Cedric all turned to look at us and we stared back at them."What's your interest in Jasmine?" Cedric demanded and my eyes widened."Why? You like her?" I asked and he glared at me. "Leave her alone" Cedric hissed at me.

Chapter 8
POV Lilly"We're going to class. We shouldn't skip all of them on the first day" Jasmine announced and we turned to go to our lockers. Griffin and his group surprisingly let us go."We are so fucked" I lamented and Jasmine nodded."Let's just concentrate on one thing at a time. First we need to figure out the other group." She replied as we opened our lockers and found our way to our next class.Of course, Griffin and his crew were already there, waiting for us. Of course, there were two seats open between Griffin and Dolph and of course, there were no other places with two seats available.I looked at Jasmine. We could split up or sit together in between them. "We can't split up" Jasmine whispered and I nodded. I continued to look around and saw Axel with empty seats on either side of him and I got an idea. I sauntered over to him with Jasmine."Hi, Axel, right?" I began and he smiled at me. I

POV LillyJasmine and I hurried to the girls locker room with Nik. There we were giving a gym outfit and told to go change by the assistant coach."These shorts are too short" I complained to Jasmine."But you look damn good in them." Nik replied, eyeing me. I blushed and rolled my eyes as Jasmine chuckled."She's not wrong." Jasmine added.After we changed, we walked out to the gym to see most of the boys already on the bleachers. Great. I felt all eyes on us as we walked in. I glanced up to see Griffin. He looked me up and down. I saw a flash of lust that was quickly replaced with anger. He stormed towards me."What the hell are you wearing?" he hissed and I shook my head."My gym uniform." I replied and he scoffed."Go get a bigger size!" he ordered and Jasmine stifled a laugh. "Fuck off!" I replied and walked to the bleachers and sat down with Jasmine next to me. "Damn, girls.

POV Lilly"We're home!" I called"Hi, girls!" Iris yelled from the kitchen.We followed her voice to join her."How was your day?" she asked.We ignored the question and stared at her."Where's my mother?" I demanded."She went out. It was hilarious. You'll crack up when you see her when she gets back. She used an aging spell and I swear, she looked exactly like our mother. She was not happy but she didn't want to try anything else." Iris giggled and then turned to face us.Her smile dropped when she saw our faces."Werewolves AND Vampires?!" Jasmine screamed and Iris cringed."I couldn't tell you!" She defended."Yeah, we heard. Was that Grandma's doing?"  I cut her off and she nodded."She admitted to it once Rose and I figured it out. I think that's why no one ever bothered us here. The pack owes our family big." She explained."That was just the Werewolves
