"Right and what will the rest of us eat? I hunted down this deer but do you see me whining about getting a big share?" Petra said arguably."That's your fucking problem not mine. Back off!" said Lucas, warningly. Lucas attempted to take another bite but Petra was not letting up. She knocked the meat off from his hand. He got angry and grabbed her by the throat. They began fighting and I was helpless knowing I could do nothing to stop them. I was angry that two grown adults were fighting because of meat. Although I blamed Lucas, because he was actually acting greedy. I wanted to seperate but I felt Lucas might snap my neck if I came close. Petra and I were not exactly on friendly terms. She might do the same to me. "Stop fighting the both of you!" I resolved to yell from my seat since I could not afford to get closer to them. "Fools, you're both going to get kicked out if Lance sees you fighting!" Tyler said. "Break it off both of you," said Mike calmly but they ignored him. In a
I thought I was supposed to be learning how to fight, not doing push ups and pull ups. Gray stood watching me count up to twenty push ups but the goal was to get to fifty. At twenty five I could feel my hands buckling but I kept going. I kept going but not with as much enthusiasm as I started it and at thirty I felt myself landing on the floor. I counted to ten letting my body take a rest and then I forced myself to finish the remaining twenty. There was the sound of metal clanking coming from nearby. Apparently, we were not the only ones who had come out to train. We were in a space outside which was a makeshift gym. Even the equipment used was not like the standard gym equipment found in those fancy gyms. I saw Jeffery and he was heavy lifting even at his age. Lucas, Shirtless, was deadlifting some of those heavy metals. He paid absolutely no attention to anyone. I looked around me and saw Petra doing some bench press. Mike just stood by observing everyone. Nice!" said Gray, comin
"When you are on par with Mike then you and I will have business but for now I don't want you coming close to me".Lance said in a cold voice but then began to cough. He held his chest and waited for the cough to subside. "Do I make myself clear?""Very loud," I said. Lance left without saying anything else. His cough made me feel slightly troubled. Gray and I took a stroll silently to my workshop. It felt a bit reliving to be away from the others and just being alone with him. It strikes me as odd that Sonia was not at his side. Although, I learned Sonia preferred to babysit some of the children like Beam. They were five children and Beam seemed to be the youngest of them all. "Hayley-""Gray," I quickly interjected cutting him off. "It's not your fault. You warned me. Let's just forget about it okay."He nodded. "So what medicine do you wish to create?" he asked as we entered into the workshop. "I want to create something for Lance's cough," I said. "I'm not saying that is no
"It's for Lance, you have to be sure it's okay," picking up a rag, I cleared my work table, not minding to look at him as I spoke."It's sweet, don't worry." "Saying that only makes me worry more," Gray frowned, still staring at the cup as if it were poison. "If you die, Sonia would hunt me down, so you're safe." Patiently, I waited for him to make a decision. Gray staredat me, then at the cup, then at me again. It was rather unnecessary because it was very unwise of me to use a cup of tea to kill him, even if I had something against him."If it makes you feel better, I could take a sip," I reassured and Gray finally gulped in the entire cup at once.Cautiously, I watched his every expression to know whether or not the tea tasted okay. "This is actually pretty good," Gray smiled."I told you, it's sweet. Actually, it tasted very sour due to the lime in it, but I added a lot of milk, thus creating a sweet cough tea," my face lit up in pride."Nerd alert!" Gray laughed and I retur
"What're you talking about?" I said. Fear gripped me more when I noticed how red his eyes were. He looked so sick, yet so furious and I seemed to be the cause."Lance, please relax." Gray placed a palm on Lance's shoulder but he pushed him off. "The tea," Lance responded.He glared hard at me and I gulped."What about the tea?" I asked, fidgeting.His glare hardened but he began coughing so hard that he had to grip onto his chest for support. I watched in horror how he did not seem to stop coughing, he slipped off the table he was holding and landed on the ground, making a thud sound as he did."You promised not to tell him," I whisper-shouted at Gray who did nothing but give an apologetic look. "He ordered me, I had no choice," he defended himself. Squatting, I met with Lance who was still coughing non stop. The tea I gave him was tested and trusted and not just by Gray, but also by past werewolves. The tea had been in existence way before I was born, so there was no possible way
"I know what this is and trust me it never goes right. He's your mate, you have to care," he ran his fingers through his hair looking at me in disbelief. "Have you seen how he treats me?" I laughed out lowly, "I understand that he is alpha but I blame myself for trying to be good for him."Sharply, I left the ground I was sitting on, picked up the book I planned to read and began leaving the library too. I sensed Gray following me from behind, quiet after what I said about Lance. He was lost in his own thoughts."I appreciate all you have done and the stress you went through for me, I cannot thank you enough, honestly, but it is about time I grew up. I am not going to be a chore wolf," I finalized and his brow furrowed."A chore wolf?" he questioned as he exited the building. The bright sun hit my face and I frowned, allowing my eyes to adjust to the light. We both continued to walk like nothing happened a few minutes back."An omega," I answered. "No one sees you as that," he argue
Are you going to keep nagging me or will you prefer telling Lance that he is mistaken for his mate and perhaps suggest to him that you are his true mate instead?" I said, trying my best to sound as sarcastic as I could. Oh no! I have absolutely zero interest in Lance. Anyways, if you still don't believe me then I guess I should let you know that I am mated to Mike!"Wait, Mike was her mate? He did not strike me like someone who could be mated let alone be mated to Petra. There was nothing wrong with the pair! I told myself. They fitted well in terms of power matching one another. I was going to wish it were so for Lance and I but I remembered the promise I made silently to myself to stop giving two shits about Lancelot. "That's awesome! Although, I'm wondering why you both don't act like it?" I said, carelessly. "Mike is a tad bit worse than your Lance," Petra said. "Really? Have you seen Lance lately? How he constantly embarrasses me-""Save it! Hayley, you are weak and that is o
Come on! Where did all that fire in me go? I melted under his cold gaze as he let go of my hand."Em um I'm-""Sorry, I don't understand gibberish," Lance said. Why wouldn't I sound like that when he was shirtless and his scent did stupid things to me. "It's just that I wanted to go home for a few minutes and talk with my sister." I finally got the words out but that sounded more like I was taking permission. I wanted to demand it. "Gray," he called, looking past me. "Did I stutter?" He banged the door in my face and I shook out of fear. Gray threw his hands in the air!"I told you to leave it," he said. "But-""Why is it so difficult for you to listen to me Hayley?" Gray yelled. To think that Gray of all people would yell at me. I was downcast and I moved past him like he was a ghost. "Hayley, Hayley I'm sorry I yelled okay," he said, doubling his pace. Gray doubled his pace but still could not meet up with me. Anger, sadness and a bunch of negative emotions bubbled up withi
