~Lily~ “Ohh really? I didn’t know I was going to become a topic too?” His voice stopped me in my tracks as I slowly but didn’t want to turn to that voice. Of course I was talking about him. I didn’t know how it happened but everything I hate could just be summed up in one name and it was Jaden. It felt a little troublesome in the air as our eyes met and I could feel his eyes literally burning into my skin as he slowly had them moved from my face down to the hands that held mine in his. I didn’t know what was wrong but his eyes made me feel like I was doing something wrong and besides the fact that I didn’t care what he thought and would definitely do the opposite from whatever he agreed to. It suddenly felt wrong and there wasn’t a solid reason to even back that up as I found my hands easing away a little from Nova’s hands but he didn’t go. He held them tightly like it was nothing. His eyes quickly looked for mine with his usual sweet smile before turning to face
~ Lily~ We were definitely going to act like that didn’t just happen as he remained silent like I was, moving with little pace, when it was really like we just moved our legs slowly not necessarily walking with a purpose. “A very protective brother, yeah?” He still found a way to smile after what just happened. I stopped in my tracks to face him, wondering and thinking it through if I should let him know he wasn’t really my brother. But there wouldn’t be a need for that since this was an easier understandable situation. How would I tell him he was probably beside their possible disagreement, he was only doing that to bully me since that’s the only thing he does with me. “Hmm hmm one can say acting more than the role.” I covered up, wanting nothing to start with endless explanations about my bullying journey and everything. “He almost got me confused at some point there.” He let out a small laugh as he was grinning from ear to ear with his head bowed down
~Lily ~ I was certain I was making good progress, holding my ground and pulling everything off. I don’t know if he was looking but I used everything he gave off as my guide with my fight with Nova. It was fun and the only different between today and yesterday’s fight was the light hearted mood. I got a lot of dramatic expressions from Nova whenever I got close to him, with sincere laughter erupting between us, distracting and putting us on the spotlight as we had some eyes locked on us. Molly didn’t miss her chance and sent different weird faces my way every time she thought we were getting real close with our body. I wasn’t in any way complaining but it really felt longer than usual. The rumbling in my stomach was what dropped the thoughts in my head. It was over and the rumbling was all that was in my mind as I silently placed a hand on my stomach. Waiting for Molly to come over so we can both go out. “You hungry?” He asked in a very quiet way l
~Lily~I felt a lot better with some of my strength back as we made our way out of the pack house. Had but little time to process all that Molly said. We are pretty much just friends and I don’t think that he likes me the way she described and how she made it sound. There wasn’t really a point there, she talked about how he was always smiling at me and always locked eyes with me when talking. Isn’t that the normal way it is? I mean when we both talk I take note of every single thing, even her body language. She always expressed a lot and it’s always fun getting more information than what she was already saying. There were always extra meaning and a deeper understanding when she expressed with her body. And we can’t say we don’t look at each other when talking. There wasn’t anything strange there but she was making it sound so, saying he was flat out flirting with me and I was respond way too casually. I had to ask her how she knew so much. Apparently, in her d
~Jaden~ I wasn’t interested in whatever they were talking about but I heard a few snippets as my mind was completely not here and my attention was divided. They were both talking about how training was getting a lot more serious and longer. All Cam’s doing because it was all his voice I could hear as Tyler only had to nod. He definitely was forced to do it. The only reason I had them walk with me in the first place was because of the exact reasons they were talking about, only that it’s about to get more intense. All in my mind that stole my attention away was the fact that I was trying to make up excuses for myself on why I acted the way I did earlier. I didn’t feel bad about it being the major issue here. Kade didn’t have to say anything as we walked in together. The very sight before me, gave me a few seconds to think it through on what to really do. He was holding her hands, which made something rumble up from my insides, wanting to tear that h
~Jaden~ If she doesn’t look up in the next minute then I’ll have her dragged back to the pack house. If I can’t look her in the eyes then no one would. “Alpha Jaden?” I wasn’t interested in who had the voice as it was serving as a distraction, asking for my attention when all I wanted was to get Lily to face me and look me straight in the eye. It took me a few seconds to explain self control again to myself. I did all I could to keep my wolf relaxed, then turned to look at who spoke. I didn’t feel the need to say any words and just faced her, waiting for what she had to say. “Is there any news from our parents?” She muttered those words as if she just got reminded about them, with her eyes looking a bit gloomy. Cam definitely brought her mind to this, since he almost spilled the reason why we were here in the first place. There was news and it wasn’t a good one. First, I wouldn’t have any information slip out because of this breakaway here and
~Lily~ Another week had gone so quickly, never like ever before as there were days passing with each of his dramas and other days it’s fun. I stood still with Molly at my side and Nova coming closer, to assume his position as my partner. Immediately after that awkward moment with Jaden sitting in front of me and making me a whole lot uncomfortable. I could just tell and guess through his actions that this was probably another ploy before he starts up with another round of bullying. I didn’t know what he planned but for him to sit down with us even when the person he claimed to hate the most sat there, I knew it just had to be something I didn’t want any part in. I didn’t want to recognize his presence, didn’t want anything that had to do with him being involved. Even his remarks didn’t catch me by surprise. I expected nothing less and if he thinks he’s going to get me to act like an angry bird then he’s thought wrong. I was with the thoughts that I brought m
~Lily~ It was time to team up, with Cam walking in on us. He announced that we could pick out a partner but the opposite team we’ll be fighting with would be called out. That explains the list and it wasn’t much of a worry to me than what Nova would think. Cam simply walked out with Molly, waiting for the opposite pairing. I never really asked but they both had to be friends and knew each other before now since they acted that way and were obviously in the same status and circle. But wait, I'm also in the same circle, right? I really didn’t have time to pay attention to the disturbing thoughts about if Molly was friends with me because of my fake status as a Stone. I brushed it off with thoughts that she wouldn’t definitely mind and the remembrance that she only first approached me because she thought I had an a**hole for a brother. With Nova stuck to my side, noticing my switch up moods and definitely mistaking it for fear or tension. We stood there, hoping our pair
