last update Last Updated: 2021-09-29 06:04:44

POV Griffin

When 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 Lilly

Jasmine and I booked it to the car and didn't speak until we had pulled out of the lot.

I sighed, "That was strange."

Jasmine nodded, "I've been here for a year and never had a conversation with any of them except for Theo and that was just because he's the boyfriend of my science lab partner, Lance."

"Should we tell Mom and Auntie?" I asked and Jasmine shook her head.

"Hell, no. They would never let us leave the house again" She replied and I chuckled.

"We will just need to avoid the Savages from now on" She added and I agreed.

When we got back to the house, Mom was in the front yard, gardening. She had a large sun hat on so you couldn't really see her face. Iris came out with iced tea as we got out of the car.

"Hi, girls! How was the mall?" Mom called with a smile.

We smiled back as we pulled all the bags out.

"Good" I replied and Mom chuckled at the large amount of bags while Iris shook her head.

"Jasmine Cabot and Lilly Fowler! Did you leave anything in the stores!" She fake scolded. I smirked at the fake last name Mom had insisted on us using in Hudsonville.

"Mom! Lilly has like no clothes!" Jasmine protested and Iris softened.

She shook her head, "Somehow, I don't believe that all those bags are just for my dear, sweet niece."

Jasmine shrugged and the rest of us laughed at her.

"What are you planting, Mom?" I asked and she shrugged. I looked closer and furrowed my brow.

"Is that wolfsbane?" I asked and Iris smiled.

"I see that you've kept up with your botany studies, Lilly. I hope that you can help my daughter catch up" Iris said.

Jasmine sighed and rolled her eyes but stayed silent.

"Why are you planting wolfsbane throughout the garden?" I asked looking around.

She had planted it all over but you wouldn't be able to see it unless you were looking for it. It was hidden with other plants.

Mom smiled, "Don't worry about it. I have my reasons."

I shook my head and followed Jasmine in with the bags. We went to our room and put away our clothes.

As I worked, I thought. I knew wolfsbane was toxic if eaten. It was used way back when to kill everyday wolves and that's how it got it's name. Of course, some of the books I had claimed that it weakened werewolves. Some said that the werewolf wouldn't even have to eat it. Just the smell of it would weaken their powers.

I had heard of werewolves. Hell, I was good friends with a couple. They didn't seem that bad to me. I mean, I wasn't really impressed either but, they didn't seem dangerous. The few that I encountered just seem to want to protect their territory and their pack. I couldn't figure out why Mom was suddenly so worried about werewolves now.

Even the sap of the flower of wolfsbane on someone's skin could affect anyone's heart for a few hours, making it a dangerous plant to have around. I wondered why Mom was planting it everywhere. It seemed risky for no reason.

"Lilly, you okay?" Jasmine asked and I nodded.

"Yeah, sorry" I replied and smiled.

"Lets get ready for school tomorrow" Jasmine suggested and I nodded.

The rest of the day and night passed peacefully except for the wolf howl that woke me up in the middle of the night. It was a howl of sadness and longing.

I looked over to see Jasmine still asleep. I laid back and heard the howl again. It made my heart hurt to hear it and luckily, after the second howl, it stopped and I was able to go back to sleep.

I got up early in the morning and took a shower before Jasmine awoke. She smiled and sat up as I walked out of the bathroom.

"Hey cuz." she called.

I rolled my eyes, "The bathroom's all yours"

"You're the best" she smiled and hopped up. She hurried into the bathroom as I got dressed.

"Wear that cute dress you got yesterday at the mall" she called as I heard the shower turn on.

I rolled my eyes but did as she said. The black dress was cute but a bit short for my liking. Jasmine was the fashonista though so I didn't argue or complain.  I dried my hair and curled it into loose curls that framed my face. I put on a bit of make up and then moved on.

I packed my school supplies along with a few emergency spell ingredients, just in case. I knew that we were forbidden from using magic outside the house but I wasn't going to go out defenseless. I grabbed my bag, purse and phone and hurried down to the kitchen.

Mom and Iris smiled at me as I walked in.

"Where's Jasmine?" Iris asked.

"She's showering. She'll be down soon" I replied and she nodded.

I ate a quick breakfast and made Jasmine a bagel. I just finished as she hopped into the room. I handed it to her and she smiled her thanks.

"We should probably go. We want to be early to get everything settled" Jasmine said to our mothers. They nodded.

Iris handed us both a couple of pieces of paper.

"This is your locker numbers and combinations and the other paper is your schedules. Like I said, you have the same classes and your lockers are next to each other. Just be sure to stay together" She reminded us as we hurried out the door.

"You ready for this?" Jasmine asked after we parked next to the medium sized school.

I took a deep breath and nodded. We both got out and linked arms as we walked into the school. As we walked in, I noticed that we were getting lots of stares.

"Why are they staring?" I whispered and Jasmine shrugged.

"They did the same to me last year. Well, maybe not as much" she replied as she looked around.

Everywhere I looked, I saw kids in black leather Savages jackets looking at us. Jasmine and I glared back and they looked away. We made it into the school and to our locker without anyone saying anything to us, though.

"Jasmine Cabot!" a male voice yelled over the typical hallway clamor that surrounded us.

Jasmine smiled and turned to hug a smiling blond haired boy. When they split, he turned to me.

"Now, who is this stunning creature?" he asked. I smiled and Jasmine chuckled.

"This is my bestie Lilly. She's living with us now" Jasmine explained.

"Lilly, this is my friend Lance." she added and I nodded remembering the name.

"Oh, yeah. I think that we met your boyfriend the other day." I said as we shook hands. Lance grinned.

"You did? Isn't he the cutest?" Lance gushed and Jasmine and I laughed.

"You better be talking about me" a voice growled. I looked over Lance's shoulder to see Theo walking up.

"Nope. I was talking about my other cute boyfriend" Lance joked and rolled his eyes.

Theo put a possessive arm around Lance who laughed.

"Of course I was talking about you" Lance add and Theo calmed down.

I exchanged a look with Jasmine and frowned as Nik, Dolph and another dark haired boy joined us. I caught the newcomer staring at me out of the corner of my eye but I didn't look at him.

"It's nice to see you both again" Nik said. Jasmine nodded.

"You too, Nik." I replied and heard the other boy gasp.

I ignored him and looked at Jasmine.

"You remember Theo and Dolph, right?" she continued and we both nodded.

"This is another one of our good friends, Griffin. This is Jasmine, you probably remember her from last year and this is Lilly." she added and I looked up at the boy.

It was like the world stopped and it was my turn to gasp. Griffin had piercing blue eyes that felt like they were seeing right into my soul. He was the tallest one of the group and he had muscles for days.

"Hello, Jasmine. It's nice to see you again." he said as he continued to stare at me.

"Griffin" Jasmine replied and pulled on my arm.

Griffin growled at the action and Jasmine stopped and looked confused. He stared at me for a moment longer and took a deep breath.

"Lilly, is it?" he asked and I nodded, numbly.

"It's a pleasure to meet you" he added and held out his hand.

I looked at it and hesitated. It was like everything would change after I touched him. I shook my head to clear it and took a deep breath. I smelled the most amazing smell and looked back up at Griffin. He cocked his head and narrowed his eyes at me.

I reached out and he grabbed my hand. Suddenly, I felt shocks go up my arm and moaned at the feeling. He didn't let go though. Instead, he gently pulled me closer. He took another deep breath and I swear that I heard him mumble something that made the rest of his friends stiffen.

So much for avoiding the Savages.

    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."

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

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

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.

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

    POV GriffinWe followed my father outside and jumped into a nearby SUV. "Do we need back up?" I asked and he chuckled."Nope" he replied. We pulled into the parking lot just and saw Rose still looking like an elderly lady put her bags in her trunk. We pulled up next to her and jumped out of the vehicle. She glanced up at us but tried to ignore us. Dad grinned when he saw her."Do you need help with your groceries?" he asked as he strode over to her. She looked up at him and we saw the shock pass over her face, she masked it quickly though."No, deary. I fine" she replied as she hurried to put the last bag in. Dad just stood there, staring at her. He took a deep breath of her scent and closed his eyes for a moment. Then he looked back at her."You look so familiar. Have we met?" he asked, still grinning.Just then, her phone rang. She made no movement to answer it though. She looked up an

    POV GriffinI opened my eyes and looked around at the chaos. I blinked and remembered what was going on. The fog and whatever spells they were using had cleared. Painfully, I jumped to my feet and looked around for Lilly. I smelled the air and focused on the house. Fuck! They were in there. I was so close. I literally had her in my arms. Twice! I looked for my father and found him livid in the street in front of the house with my crew and his. I eyed him as I walked up, watching as he paced frantically back and forth. "How are we going to get them out?" I asked the group. There was silence aside from my Dad growling. I looked toward the house and saw Lilly and her mother peaking out. I looked at her in sadness and loss. She looked back at me with the same

As we headed to pick up Lilly, Jasmine and Rose, we looked at each other."So we need to watch over these three at all times this weekend. This is a lot for them to deal with along with so many coming to mourn with them. It's bound to be overwhelming. I know that we are all grieving but they are feeling so much more than any of us.

I was already enraged with Chance over Lilly almost dying for him but now? Now, I was going to tear him apart. I might let him live for Lilly's sake but you better believe that he was in for a world of hurt.I looked over at Lilly as Chance approached and felt sorry for her. This was a terrible situation for her. I was sorry that it had come to this but I also knew that it needed to be done. In a way, I was relieved when Chance challenged me. At least now we could get it all out in the open.I knew that he wanted my mate. I knew from the second I saw him look at her. The fact that she saved him just made him want her more, especia

    POV LillyI was surprised to hear that we needed to discuss the Blood Venom pack. I had assumed that the pack was completely wiped out. Unfortunately, I was out voted and we had to go have lunch before it could be discussed. I sighed, knowing that Griffin was going to be a pain in my ass about eating something.I wasn't trying to be difficult, I just wasn't in the mood to eat. Could you blame me with everything I had gone through? I knew that Griffin was right, though. I didn't need to get weak or sick, especially now. I sighed as I sat next between Griffin and Dolph. Dolph. That was another issue. What was that all about? Why was he so attached to me? Why did I feel safer and calmer around him? It was all too much. Lunch was a quiet and tension filled event. As

Part of me still didn't believe that she was here and alive and safe. I buried my face in her neck gently to not wake her.I was still upset about how she saved Chance. I was trying to let it go but part of me was livid that she made that choice. That she sacrificed herself. My wolf half was frustrated with her and so was I but we knew that there was nothing we could do about it. We had to move forward and we had to heal.Jasmine, Rose and Lilly were safe and unharmed but in body only. Emotionally and mentally, they were broken. I still don't know that whole story of the what happened in the basement. I know that some of Evan's pack me

I knew that he would keep me safe so I tuned out. When I came to, we were in a room in Evan's pack house sitting on a bed and Griffin was washing blood off my face with worry in his eyes. He gently rubbed my face with the cloth, wringing the water and blood from it occasionally into a bowl on the nightstand."There, that's better, right, baby?" he whispered and I nodded, my eyes clearing.He gave a sigh of relief when I made eye contact with him."There you are." he breathed and p

    POV JasmineI heard my mother's scream for Lilly as my Aunt Rose was working at freeing me. She was having a hard time with my shackles. I looked over in horror to see Lilly fall down as Chance opened his eyes and I knew what she had done. She had done what we had warned her over and over about. I gasped at the blood coursing down her cheeks from her eyes. She had used the last of her magic to save Chance. She was dying. My mother looked over at me as she caught Lilly and my mom smiled and nodded with a look of peace. Mom grabbed Lilly and whispered something. I saw light flash between them and my mother slump down. I looked on in horror as my Mother gave Lilly all her magic in one second. I knew that if we didn't reach her in a few seconds, there would be nothing we could do. Her face was already covered in tears of blood."Rose! Take care of my child!" Mom yelled as Rose finally got me fre
