“Hayley, please you need to calm down,” Lance said, trying to make me settle on my bed.“Calm down, when I’m under a threat, the vampire wants me and I think my sister too and you’re telling me to calm down?” I replied, not responding to him but pacing back and forth.A normal person would not be calm if they received a message like that, especially after the vampire had come to threaten me a few minutes ago in person.“Tomorrow is going to be a big day, you need to rest, you need a good night’s sleep,” he insisted calmly. He simply had never even been normal, for him to act so relaxed about the entire thing.“How do you expect that I sleep Lance, a death threat is sprawled across my window meaning someone had access to my room, what if someone comes in later tonight to get me, you said it yourself, I’m weak, I will have no chance against them,” my palm became sweaty and so was my forehead. I was being paranoid, I knew that but it was for my own safety, people wanted me, possibly dea
“Do you ever wake up early?” I frowned at the voice that spoke.“Leave me alone, it’s still too early,” I shuffled around my bed. I knew who the person was, Lance had been trying to wake me up for the past ten minutes but sleep was getting the best of me. Then the bed sheet that was cuddling my body close was pulled down from me and I whimpered as the cold atmosphere met my skin.“Lance, will you please leave me alone?” I pouted, still refusing to open my eyes. I feared that if I did open it even for the slightest time, I was going to lose the sleep and nice dream I was having.I heard the curtains being dragged open but I didn’t flinch until the brightness of the sun came in contact with my eyelids.“Lance!” I finally opened my eyes to shoot him a glare but he just laughed at my attitude.“You have exactly ten minutes to get yourself ready for the healers conference, else you’ll be extremely late. I mean you’re already late, but you’ll be extremely late if you’re not in the car in t
"I cannot believe it!" I shrieked and Mike winced. "I'm sitting really close to you, do you mind not shouting?" Mike glared hard at me. He fixed the car key in and ignited it to life, turning the steering wheel and allowing the car to move in the direction he wanted."They made me president, Mike," I lowered my voice, taking his warning seriously. He was still the Alpha of my mini pack."You said that seven times before we even left the event, president of what?" Never for once did he turn away from the road to look at me. He listened but didn't have to even look my way, I found it unnecessary too, I was not ready for a car accident. "Of the healers club," I replied in a duh tone. Anyone who knew and 2as interested in healing would want to be that. It was a bug step into becoming one of the greatest healers. How did Mike not even know that?"You need to calm down and quit nerding out with me," Mike said, keeping a straight face as he stared boredly at the road. "You're just jealou
"What?!" I shouted, pushing myself away from him. "Hayley,""You can't just bring up such a news out of nowhere, I'm not even prepared physically and mentally, you want me to take the Luna ceremony. That basically means you want me to be Luna, I'm not ready to be Luna, I don't even know the first step to being one," I panicked and he watched my every single move with a smile on his face. "Hayley, relax you're going to be alright. I'm not giving you total control as Luna, but you will have the title. Your training will continue, till you're the best and then, you'll assume full position. Right now, it's just a ceremony," Lance placed his hands into his pockets, relaxing on the kitchen's counter."Oh, is that even supposed to help me?" I raised a brow, eyeing him.He shook his head with a laugh, moving his weight away from the counter. "I'm trying to be of help, now to hand you over to the ladies to handle you if you don't mind," he grabbed my shoulder and turned me around to meet Son
"Take the children to the safe room, along with the elders," Lance shouted to no one in particular, but everyone knew what he was talking about and did as he had instructed.Everyone, besides me. It had to happen on the day where I was made Luna. The day that was supposed to be special to me."Hayley, follow them," Lance gave me a stink eye when he saw I was not moving along with others."What, why?" I frowned and he sighed."You are the one they want, you have to go," he instructed but my mind was already made up."I just swore to protect–""We were clear about this ceremony. You have not attained the full position as Luna, only its title," Lance stated out. The cathedral was already almost empty. Only the stronger members of our pack remained to fight back. The vampires were trying to break down the door from the other side and Lance was still standing against me staying to fight."Hayley, for once listen to Lance," I heard Sonia say to me. She was standing behind me and I turned
"Lance," I called out for the umpteenth time but he still would not reply. He kept on walking away from me and everyone else.It had been about twenty minutes since the vampires left and everyone was already packing up. We were waiting for nightfall before we had another funeral for the ones we lost. But everyone was busy with something at the moment. The vampire had disorganized a lot of arrangements around and the pack house was a mess. No one was too phased about the attack, they were sad about the people that died, but I had not seen anyone shed a single tear about it. We only lost three of them, two men and a woman. "Lance!" I shouted, already frustrated by his behaviour. "What is it Hayley, get to work," he still did not stop to talk to me. "I didn't do anything wrong to you, why are you so upset?" I walked faster and stopped right in front of him."I asked you to follow them to the safe room," "And I was already going, an old grumpy man made me stop," I replied,throwing my
"When are we expecting their arrival?" Lance asked, although not getting up to open the door."Tonight!" Gray announced. "They'll be here at any minute now. Should I offer them a room and just tell them you've retired?""Yes and mention that Hayley's with me as well," Lance said. "We will see them in the morning."I had expected any other form of bad news but not my family coming over. It was impromptu, unsettling and most of all entirely unwelcoming. What did they want to do here? Why had they chosen to come now after all this time? Lance pressed me down to the bed. Honestly, no matter how distracted I was about other things, his touch was more distracting. He rubbed his thumb up and down my forehead gently. "I need a full body massage," I blurted out unconsciously, it was meant to be in my thoughts and he smiled. "With or without your dress on?" he said, licking his lips. "Without," I whispered. "Take your clothes off," he ordered her and she obeyed. "Yes Alpha," I said."Now
The environment was quiet and very tense, Grey and the driver had a small conversation at the beginning of the drive but then it ended quicker than it even started. My mum took pleasure in staring outside the window and my sister was busy typing away on her phone, the buzzing of her phone every once in a while was the only annoying sound that was heard. I threw my head backwards, resting on the chair to calm myself and not think about why I agreed to actually follow them back to my old pack.The thought of what Lance and I could be doing at the time if my sister had not showed up crossed my mind and goosebumps gathered my skin. For the first time Lance was interested in me. Not only did he make me Luna, he also marked me.I asked him for a massage, not deliberately but I was glad that I did. I could still almost feel his hands on me. Subconsciously, my fingers moved to the spot where he had bitten me and when I touched it, I found it hard to hold the groan that lingered in my throat
