"Girl, when are you and Logan going to throw it down," Clark asked.Today it's just Clark and me at the library for once. Lily is busy with the arranged marriage and goes on a date with Kareem while she still thinks of Liam. The whole not-virgin-anymore freaked her out, and she's between two guys who she can't handle. As for Odin, I haven't seen him for days. He's probably with a lady friend he told me about and having lunch together someplace.I groaned, scratching my head. "I've been trying to throw it down, but he keeps getting distracted, and there are also interruptions," ie. Seth. I groaned to myself. When I couldn't concentrate on the math homework, I threw my pencil, making a growling noise when the librarian shushed me. "What am I doing wrong? Is it me? I know my skin has these markings, and it's not attractive. I ain't skinny like Lily and-""Whoa, stop right there," Clark stopped me from hyperventilating. "First of all, there is nothing wrong with you. Second, ignore the s
Days go by in my life without any problems at school or home. Paris and her posies all stopped bothering me since I knocked out Mandy. Before, I was ignored by others and became a target by Paris with her tactics of ruining my life even more.For Heather, whom I have not seen since she supposedly transferred to a more refine school that can cure her mental illness. I heard rumors that before her parents sent her away, she was crying to stay for a boy — my guess's Logan. I was familiar with her name but not her face, but I would have known her in the halls and maybe in one class together.I was in my emo state and never cared for the world, including the students I had classes with since middle school. Paris was the only person to pay too much for me because she felt like it. We started as best friends, then became frenemies.Now that all has changed since Logan and his twin brother strolled into a new school with a unique environment that automatically modified the whole school system
"Hi Effie, I've wanted to ask, but who was that guy who dropped you off earlier?"I looked up at Nina, who placed her food tray on the table where I was sitting. After a hard day vocalizing and dance lessons with my dance coach Girlie. Who told us to call him that?My dance coach is a Filipino gay man who is super sassy, and he loves it. He speaks fluent Tagalog, and when he gets angry or frustrated, especially with Nina not catching up with the dance, he vents his anger at how slow she is. And I understand most of the cuss words he puts out. I may have been born here, but I could hear my mom's dialect ringing in my ears whenever Athena and Ares fought over stupid things.Nina and I aren't friends, but more acquaintances since we are both get the same company. We are getting to know each other slowly. When I'm around her flashing that angel look smile and bright white teeth tell me something odd about her. But Lena wants us to be friends. Ever since she got here, I can't quite figure
We spent an hour at the mall, going to stores like Charlotte Rousse or H&M, until we finally made it to the Halloween store. The store that had it open was vacant, making it easier for people to shop for costumes.It's only the second week of October, and many people are inside. Children are much more excited than I am when it comes to Halloween.Inside the Halloween store, I see it as Candyland. Everything isn't made out of candy but scary masks, make-up, and costumes. I look at the teen aisle, searching for the perfect couple costume for me and Logan to wear, but teenager costumes can't fit these huge thighs of mine. And Logan is too massive to wear anything smaller than his large frame."Hey, Effie, why don't you and Logan be Batman and Catwoman?" Lily held up two costumes.I stare at the Catwoman costume with the picture of a slim brunette hair lady with the same skin color as Halle Berry, who wore the outfit when she portrayed the character in the movie.I shook my head. "No, it
How could he do this to me? How could he lied and be with Nina?What the fuck is going on?But it seems he is not with her but following her into the store.That's a different story, yet it still pisses me off that he lied to me with a text.My whole brain is going berserk that it's giving me a migraine. A ticking bomb ready to explode. "Effie, you okay?"My brain malfunctioned while my eyes were red as I crushed my soft drink till it exploded in my hand, creating a bursting waterworks."Damn, Effie!" Lily exclaimed. I finally blinked and saw that she and Clark were sprinkled with Coke. "What's going on with you? One minute you were fine, then the next-""Lily, I'm so sorry," I grabbed some paper towels and helped wipe Lily and Clark off from becoming sticky. My eyes were adrift to where Logan and Nina went inside the store. I should have paid more attention, and it caused more recklessness. "Sorry guys, I'll be right back.""Wait, Effie!"I ignored the calling of Lily and paced my f
One Saturday morning, I couldn't believe what I was hearing or the fact our house smelled like Wonderland.It's the same song she repeatedly hums, which started irritating Ares and me.The death song.Shake it off by Taylor Swift.She would sing that song whenever she was super happy because of its hype beat, but the lyrics are about shaking off romance. I don't know why she would be satisfied with a song like that, but the way she sang seems funny yet horrifying.I could hear her singing from the kitchen as I opened my door and the smell of freshly baked goods coming from the direction of a siren screeching. Athena didn't inherit our dad's harmonic vocals, and she didn't mind. I heard a creaking sound coming from Ares' door, and when I spotted him peaking, he looked mortified."Hey," his voice hoarse and scared. "She's back.""I know.""Do you know why?" Ares knows why he didn't want the answer because he believes it's all a dream."I think it has to do with her telling Rex about the
I want to open my mouth and ask if Ares will be okay with the whole change, but seeing the image of my brother whining about living up in the attic with rats and roaches would stain him. Being a buff-ass dude, Ares is still a wimp regarding small critters. It's going to be a fight he can not win.I'm starting to feel bad for him."Not going to ask," I tapped my finger on the island table. "So, your okay will all this life-changing experience? You soon-be-mom and living with your baby daddy. Besides you popping a human out of you, did he pop the question?""Rex and I decided to wait for that. Although, I want to spend my life with him. Weddings are too much of a hassle, and I ain't that type to turn into a Bridezilla." She ices the rest of the cupcakes."You're worse than a Bridezilla, your Godzilla himself," I snort, making Athena laugh."Yeah, it's true.""Life-changing experience," I took another cookie from the tray. "It's scary.""Effie, don't make it sound like a bad thing." When
"Hey, Liam," I said as I walked up behind him. He sat outside the cafe with his laptop. Once I sat, I felt googling eyes from some of the females sitting around us, trying to make eye contact with him, but no luck. "There are lots of girls at Starbucks today." "Yeah, it's annoying," he grumbled. I frowned, knowing he didn't want full attention from so many girls in one place. I thought he would be the kind of guy like Seth, who loves attention but wasn't in the mood. I picked a place to discuss matters after I called him yesterday, where it's far from his family's shop and my house. I didn't want Logan to know what we were up to. "Sorry," I said. He just brushed his hair back and smiled, accepting my apology. "So, What did you tell your brothers?" "I told them that I'm meeting a girl," he had his drink of Carmel Frappuccino, grande size taking a sip. "I had to beg Rex to give me a day off." "I'm sorry." "Hey, don't be," he set his drink down. "You ask me a favor, plus your my br
Hello to my readers! This chapter is the last chapter for LOGAN and just to warn you it's a bit longer and I don't want to split it in half because this is an epilogue. I deeply apologize and would like to say thank you for joining me on this journey with completing book 1 of The Wolfe Brothers series. See you guys in book 2! It had been a week since the incident with Heather, and I was ready to return to school, acting as if nothing had happened. The next day I treated it like any other ordinary day. Forget about the past and move on with the future. After spending my recovery at my grandfather's home for a week, some students think I had an accident. Although I'm healed, I had to get a weekly check-up to see if I'm fully recovered to do anything. I contacted Lena and told her part of the truth as to why I was missing that weekend, and she forgave me and requested I work extra hard. It turned out she will be planning to have my EP album out soon for Christmas with original song
"Effie, what's wrong, baby?" Logan came out of the bathroom as quickly as he saw me taking out the comforters.My leg throbs, but I didn't want to leave my virgin blood on the silk covers."We need to burn these sheets," I said, struggling to remove the comforters while naked, and Logan was enjoying the view. "Can you not stare and help me.""I could see this every day," he smirked, leaning on the bathroom door frame - naked. His cock was still erect after making love."Why don't you take a picture?" I told him with a grunt."Why should I when I have the real deal," he chuckled."Logan, please help. I just had sex with you for the first time, and I'm a bit sore down there." I hissed from a slight pang. "Oh... Wow""Yeah, you will get used to that," he chuckled and was amused by my glare. "Here, let me do it-," Logan said as he tried to take the blanket, but I jerked it away."Go take the other end.""Damn, you're so bossy. Did our lovemaking change you?" He asked as a joke."No, it's
Logan got off the bed, removing his pants and boxers, while I quickly did the same with my clothes and took off my bra and underwear. I sat naked on the bed, staring at the beautiful creature.Logan stood there all whole naked specimen looking mighty fucking fine. Logan was a living working art, his olive skin so tempting to touch. Every move gave away his strength. Every inch of his body was drool-worthy; his abdomen was a sculpture to perfection as his six-pack popped instantly, giving off the impression that he was reborn once again as a Hawaiian God. In his past life, he must have been a warrior, strong and loyal. His biceps were the size of my head. For an eighteen-year-old guy, he worked pretty hard to earn those muscles.But what caught my attention was his cock that sprung. I swallowed hard as my eyes grew wide. I know what I'm getting myself into, but should I wait? His cock was huge, and I didn't think it would fit me.Logan took something from his wallet that appeared to b
I gaze at the girl in the mirror. The looking glass wall-mounted, encircled by a frame of threadlike strands of silver, interlaced together in a mock-cable arrangement.The luminosity of the light shone through the whole bathroom as I studied myself. After a long shower, I called for cleansing. Three days I have not bathed, and it's revolting.I turned over, wiped the fog off the mirror, and stood there looking at myself, taking in every detail, shape, size, and color. The mirror shows me what the whole world can understand. A girl with scars, long black hair, and silver eyes; covered in scars and the faded purple bruise around my abdomen where Heather kicked me at the same place. It doesn't hurt nearly as much now.Everything I've been through since that accident was full of fright, frustration, and loneliness. Then through my teenage years, however lonely, isolated, and neglected by others who saw me as a threat. Meeting Lily changed my thoughts about people; we became loyal friend
While the mood goes too emotional, I spotted Terry not getting into this happy moment. I pulled back from the family hug. "Hey guys, can you leave for a moment? I want to talk to Terry."Everyone saw how serious my tone was and walked out. Before he left with the others, Logan planted a quick kiss and told me he would be outside if I needed anything.Once everyone left as Logan closed the door. It was just Terry and me.I say straight up as Terry stands there with his hands behind his back. It was quiet and awkward. Honestly, I'm nervous, but I got to let it all out and ask. I want to know if Terry's the person from my childhood. Pivoted flashbacks in my mind as I remembered the older girl."Terry?""Yes?" He answered formally.Where are you from?"London.""You don't have an accent. Where were you born there?""No."I bite my lower lip. "Okay, where were you born?""Long Beach."I inhaled and let out the air. "Have you lived in a foster home with a family called the Brayden?"I waite
Tears were falling from my eyes before Athena said the words. "But dad said his parents died. How? How can this be?""You know dad didn't like to talk about his family," Ares said with a snort. "He makes things up to lie.""Effie," sat back down, taking my hand while Odin had the other. "I know it's a shock to you, but think about it. The time you spend with him, don't you feel a connection when you spend time with me? Most people say he's the spitting image of me."I thought about it the first time I met Odin at the bus stop trying to go home. "At first, I thought he was stalking me."A snort was made, and I saw it was coming from Seth, who pursed his lips. Terry stared at him and glared. Don hit his older brother in the head, making Seth snarl at his younger brother."I only followed you because I thought I saw a replica of my Lorraine," Odin added. "Athena looks like your mom, Ares has your dad and mine good looks, but you," he touches my chin gently on his fingers. "You have your
"Oh my god, Effie," Thea was the first to embrace me with her fragile-yet strong arms. She squeezes me. "I'm so glad you're okay."Everyone who burst through those doors shocked me that they all waited for me to wake up. Seeing all of their faces warms my heart."How long was I out?" I asked."Three days," Ares replied.Three days!No wonder I felt so weak, and my hair smells like I haven't bathed in years, which is gross.Thea was squeezing me tighter. I gasped for air. "Thea, I can't breath."Thea did not answer but only felt her body shaking uncontrollably; I know it was not the pregnancy but her fear of losing her baby sister and another family member.I rubbed her back and laid my head on hers as she cried softly."I was so worried about you," she sniffled and pulled back. Her silver eyes were moist with tears. "When Clark told us that his cousin is back and explained how obsessed she was with Logan, I knew right then something bad was happening."I looked over at Clark, who was
Twelve years ago at The Brayden's Home - Foster Home. "Haha," Kenny laughed, pointing a finger at me. "You are a nobody and were left here. Nobody wants you." I hugged my legs, hiding behind the house of The Brayden, owned by George and Maggie Brayden. They were friendly, but the way they greeted me felt like those weirdo parents who kept their children sanitized from everything they touched. George was no muscle but short and tubby-like a gnome with a Super Mario mustache, and Maggie wore heavy make-up looking like 99 cents cheap doll. They were friendly, but I felt uncomfortable talking to them. Since I arrived without Ares and Athena because they were sent to different homes, I was scared. I was alone for the first time. "Look at those ugly scars! Ewww!!" He and the other kids older than me chorus, looking disgusted at my accident scars. I tried to cover them up, but my body was so small I could go up and run away. I went inside, and they followed me into the house and called m
Twelve years ago...Long Beach Memorial Hospital - Patients Room.Feeling as if minutes passed by, I weakly opened my eyes to see nothing but blurred with a bright white dot, and all I could think was Tinkerbell. I fluttered my eyes a few times to clear my eyes, and finally, the light bulb came to view. I looked up at the ceiling and made my eyes burn. I squint. I woke up in an unfamiliar room of only white, no peels or dirt. There is no decoration except a borderline of pink and blue bunnies jumping in a line over light green grass.Two windows at my side with pink drapes covering the sun's brightness. Next to it was a water bag connected to clear tubes that drips water and beeping machines that mommy calls heart monitors that track your heart rate. A needle poking my arm with many stitches wrapped around it like long princess gloves, and seeing them made my stomach ache. I breathe only to find a tube in my nose that shoots air from another machine.The pain from my head hurts so b
