Nightfall came with me busy in the kitchen, my sore neck had healed now and I had to prepare dinner for everyone
As soon as I was done cooking, I set everything up at the dining table and proceeded to call everyone for dinner, a task I wasn't exactly looking forward to nor did I ever perform it with glee
I ambled to the Alpha's room first and knocked on the door
"The food is ready Sir" I announced as I stood outside the door
"We are coming" Alpha Taylor replied with a gruff voice
Great, he said "we", that means he's in with the Luna and that's one less room for me to go
I proceeded to Josh's room and knocked but I got no response
I sighed, as usual, he never responds to anyone knocking on his door yet he complains of barging in on him when you open the door
"Dinner's ready Josh!" I voiced again and when I got no reply from him, I opened the door
"Josh?" I called as I walked in but no one was on his bed
Is he not in his room?
"Josh?" I called again and I heard some noise coming from the bathroom
"Are you the one there Josh?" I asked as I slowly moved toward the bathroom
If Josh was in the bathroom, he would have screamed the hell at me now to get out of this room but I'm not getting any response from whoever is in the bathroom except a continuous "Ugh" sound, whatever that means
My curiosity got the better of me and I moved closer to the bathroom and opened the door
"Josh!" My eyes almost popped out of their sockets
It is Josh in the bathroom but he is unclad, water dripping down his body and his hand wrapped around his hard crotch
"What the hell Lorraine?!!" He exclaimed with surprise and I immediately looked away, turning my back to him
"I'm..... I'm so sorry, I called severally and I got no response from you so I thought something was wrong, I only wanted to let you know that dinner's ready, I'll just take my leave now"
I trudged myself forward in a bid to quickly exit the bathroom but Josh's sudden and strong grip on my arm prevented me from moving
"I didn't say you could leave," he said, pushing me to the wall and standing right in front of me, still naked
"What are you doing Josh? Please let me go, I still have to call your sister to have her dinner" I pleaded as the killer look in his eyes didn't allow me to believe he had any sort of good intentions toward me
"You walked in here without my permission, but you won't be leaving unless I say so, perhaps, I do need someone to help me finish up," Josh said grinning
He pinned me against the wall and his greedy eyes ran through my whole body
"Why did I not ever notice Lorraine, how beautifully you've matured," he said tracing his hand down my neck
I tried to push me away but he was much stronger than me and my wolf was making no attempt at all, she was asleep and of no help right now
"Please let me go, Josh, I'm sorry for barging in on your doing...... Whatever it is you were doing" I said and his hands moved toward my overly large bust
"They've matured so beautifully," he said, his eyes rolling at them like a hungry Lion
"Stop Josh please, I'm gonna scream Josh" I warned struggling to push him away but he pinned both of my arms up against the wall
"You scream Lorraine and I'll tell everyone that you barged into my bathroom to try and seduce me," Josh said
"What?! But that's untrue!" I protested
"If I'm the one saying it then it's true Lorraine and no one will care about what you have to say, you are only but a servant after all" Josh smirked, a hint of pride in his voice
As much as I hated it I knew Josh was right, who would believe the words of a servant over that of an Alpha's son?
I continued my endless struggle of trying to break out of his stronghold but it was a futile endeavor
He pinned my hands up against the wall with a strong grip and just when he was about to grip my bust with his free hand....
"Lorraine!!" The Luna's voice wafted to the room from downstairs
Josh stared at me for a moment and finally let me free from his hold
"You are lucky Mum called, we'll continue this another time Lorraine" Josh stated
I quickly dashed out of the room, speed walking downstairs to meet the Luna, she was seated with Alpha Taylor already prepared to have breakfast
"Have your wolf gone deaf Lorraine?! Do I need to call you severally now before your stupid self can finally respond?" Luna Kathleen bellowed immediately after I got to the dining room
"I'm sorry Luna" I apologized
"Why the hell haven't you called Josh and Chloe out for dinner yet?" Luna Kathleen asked
Luna Kathleen is just like her husband, only worse in all of her attributes, everyone in the Mansion doesn't share any kind of affinity for me and I perfectly understand that, hell I'm even okay with it but Luna Kathleen's hate for me surpasses everyone else's, she detests me and won't miss out the slightest of opportunity to send me out of the house
"I've called Josh and he's on his way down, I was just proceeding to Chloe's room when you called for me" I explained
"Well go and get Chloe then, and be fast about it Lorraine, make sure you get her down here, it's been a while since she had dinner with us" Luna commanded.
I quickly ran back upstairs to Chloe's room
Chloe is the only daughter and the last child of Alpha Taylor and Luna Kathleen
Unlike everyone, Chloe is more invested in her makeup and her continuous effort to look good. Everyone here is mean to me but Chloe is the only one
who doesn't care to put me down every chance she gets, she's too busy for that.
She's 18, two years younger than I am but Alpha Taylor hasn't enrolled her in Werewolf High yet and I never understood why, the fact that she wasn't allowed to go to High school like all of her friends in the pack and they also refused to tell her the reason as to why they made such a decision caused a rift between her and her parents so she always preferred to be alone with her makeups in her room and her parents will do anything to make her happy, anything except taking her to a HighschoolNot only did they not enroll her in Werewolf High, but they also didn't allow her to go anywhere outside the Pack's territory and Chloe wasn't exactly happy with that so whenever she retaliated, I was always the one punished because of her, crazy right? They can't punish their dear daughter when she gets them angry so they vent all their anger on me, not fair right? Well I've never been treated fairly my whole life so I have no complaints, I just have to get used to being punished for someone else
Against all of my prayers, the cloud soon began to pour heavily, drenching my whole body. I should go back to the pack's territory or at least take shelter somewhere till the rain subsides but I couldn't bring myself to because I was honestly worried, I might not be treated like one but Chloe is like a younger sister to me, she always had my pity as her parents made her live a confined life inside the pack's territory without a valid reason, and now she's out here all alone, it's really dangerous out here, what if she gets hurt or people bully her or does something nasty to her? My thoughts occupied my whole senses as I walked making me unaware of the stone in front of me and I tripped, almost fallingTwo strong hands suddenly gripped my arm preventing me from falling to the ground. But this all seems very familiar, too familiar, my head went back to the heart-stopping moment I had with the Lycan twins in the school’s store room. I slowly raised my head, expecting to see my two famil
The two men let out a groan as stone suddenly hit their heads from nowhere. They stopped walking and their eyes darted around"Who the hell was that?!""Who dared to throw stones at us? Show yourself!" They bellowed and two figures stepped out of the dark alley"We should have thrown our knives instead brother""Then we'll have committed an unnecessary kill and Father won't take that lightly"That voice sounded all too familiar, the deep scent of musk and sweet fragrance that wafted its way past the rain to my nose waking up my sleeping wolf and making it growl the word "Mates" repeatedly hinted to me of whom the voices might belong to. Raising my head, my doubts were confirmed, it was them, the Lycan twins"Who are you two and what are you doing here shoving your nose into our business?" The tall guy questioned"Or do you have a death wish?" the short guy vaunted "Death wish?" Jayden laughed "Why don't you tell him, brother, we do not have a death wish but we are the angel of death
"His name is Dylan and he has proclaimed himself the leader of all the wolves that enter The Room we will never succumb to such rule so we've never tried to gain entry in there," Jayden said"Perhaps what use are prying eyes when you take and dominate a female? That moment is for you to enjoy alone" Jordan uttered"And let's just say we are doing all the wolves a favor by not going in there because whenever our paths cross with Dylan's, a fight always breaks out," Jayden said"And it's always bloody" Jordan added"But.... why? Why does such a man have Chloe with him? How am I going to save Chloe now?" I frettedJayden glanced at Jordan and he sighed"How lucky you are that our wolves won't allow us to abandon you," Jordan said"We'll go into The Room but you'll have to come along with us" Jayden uttered"Of course, of course, I'll come along," I said quickly and Jordan shook his head"You don't understand, do you? What my brother means is that you'll have to come along with us as a wo
"Why does everyone seem to be blind this night brother?" Jordan asked"Don't know brother, they are always acting oblivious of what's right in front of them" Jayden replied"I believe I just asked you two a question, what is going on here?!" Dylan yelled and Jordan sprang up"No brother, let me handle him," Jayden said, pulling Jordan backJayden walked closer to Dylan"What do you think is going on here?" Jayden shrugged"Why are you two here?" Dylan asked"Why else? To enjoy ourselves just like you were doing with that lady over there, but wait a minute, that lady doesn't seem too conscious, don't tell me you drugged her just to get into her" Jayden said"What I do is none of your business!" Dylan fumed"Same way you have no right to put your wolfish nose into our business too!" Jayden quipped"Oh I have the right to do that as this room belongs to me, you are in my territory!" Dylan proclaimed and then glanced at meI quickly composed myself as his stare seemed to burn through me"
***Blood Moon pack***Dylan returned home, his face filled with bruises that were only starting to healHe hoped his father had gone to bed and no one would come to know he had fought with the Lycan twins"Brother?" Lisa, his younger sister called stopping him in his tracksLisa walked closer to him"What happened to your face brother?" Lisa asked and Dylan immediately shushed her"It's nothing Lisa, aren't you supposed to be asleep?" Dylan asked"I was but I woke up thirsty so I came to get some water to drink," Lisa said and Dylan nodded"Fine, go back to sleep then" he cajoled hoping she would ask no more questions"You still haven't told me why there are bruises all over your face" Lisa reminded"I said it's nothing Lisa" Dylan said, he made to walk away but remembered the twins' words.......Tell him Jayden, how his sister wanted nothing more than for us to touch her with these filthy hands in school!"....."Do you know the Lycan twins?" Dylan turned back and asked his sister"Yo
LORRAINEMy heart raced as I stared at Jayden and Jordan. Lisa's face paled at the sight of them. A crowd was beginning to form in the hallway. The pounding of my heart sounded too loud in my ears and all I wanted to do was make a run for it and probably myself in the Janitor's closet. If you had my way. I probably would never want to come out again.“What did I tell you about putting yourself in a situation like this? Are you that useless at defending yourself” Jaden growled as he raised a skeptical eyebrow at me. The irritation in his eyes was impossible to miss and I couldn't think of anything reasonable to say at the moment. The words were stuck at the back of my throat. All I could was stare with tears in my eyes. Even I detested myself for crying. They were right. I was useless at defending myself. How was I going to explain to them that I was only used to being trampled on and letting people get away with it? I've been used to it all my life. All fighting back has ever gotten w
LORRAINEI can't remember the last time I had proper food. Jayden raised an eyebrow at me as he observed me.“Why do you look like you've seen a ghost?” He said and I was very conscious of the lump that was beginning to form at the base of my throat. So many emotions were pummelling through me that I didn't know which one to pinpoint. I was caught between crying and telling them how grateful I was. No words could come out. I stood silent, looking at the both of them. “We should sit down. Surely, you don't expect us to have lunch in the middle of the cafeteria” Jordan said dryly as he walked past me to a random table. Jayden followed me and after some minutes they turned to look at me expectantly. I stared agape at them for a moment. It took me a long minute to register that they wanted me to sit with them. I hesitantly lifted one leg in front of the other. The balance of my legs and knees felt wobbly and unsteady as I approached their table. Uncertainty clung to the walls of my st
JAYDEN'S POV I didn't bother with waiting for them to snap into action, I was beyond confident that my demands would always be met so I turned on my heels and went in the opposite direction of the open doorway of the room. As expected, the footsteps of the two women escorted me down the stairs and all the way to our suite. When Jeremy came to me fuming that Jordan was beginning to act stupid I hadn't known how to react so I had done the only logical thing, go after my twin. "Jayden, I..." Gwen's annoying voice took over the space in my head as she tried to give me an excuse of some sort. "Can you do yourself a favor and keep your mouth shut, Gwen? I would ask you to speak when I have absolutely no choice but to listen to your annoying voice." That shut her up pretty quickly. My face pulled up into a smile as silence stretched between us all the way to the suite. "What the fuck is she doing here, Jayden? I take it that you intend to punish her?" Jeremy still sounded terribl
GAZELLE'S POV I either didn't hear right or I heard completely wrong. Did Jordan just say he would have one of the Girlfriends bring dinner up to my room? My eyes moved up to meet his in obvious shock, and I noticed he wasn't even staring at me. He was too busy glaring at Sarah, who looked just about ready to have the earth swallow her up, to pay any attention other than the verbal acknowledgement that left me in shock. "What the hell, Jordan?! Are you fucking this pig? Is that why you care so much about her? I would've thought you had better taste than that, being Jayden's brother and all." Sarah's voice is high pitched and ringing with enough disbelief. Just as much as I felt up until het words registered in my skull. What? What was it with everyone and making disgusting assumptions today? Jordan's gaze finally landed on mine and his glare turned icier. I could totally see how he would be pissed off over the fact that people are now assuming he's having... eww with me.
JORDAN'S POV I was feeling a lot of different emotions, all of them in the negative. Gazelle's presence beside was doing a lot more than I expected it could to keep me calm and collected. The spoon in my hand lifted oh so slowly up into my mouth, carrying with it ice-cream that should be divine, but just tasted like sawdust. "What are you guys doing in here?" Jeremy's voice carried through the semi-open doorway. We both looked up at the sound of his voice, one of us frozen in her place. I glanced at her in a very brief way but she didn't even look back, her eyes were pinned on him as he strolled into the room. "Nothing that should concern you." My voice held a finality that would get anyone else to back off, but this was Jeremy I was speaking about. His face morphed into a huge smile. "Ah. You could've invited me to join in the fun." His eyes flickered between Gazelle and me, a knowing smile on his face. I almost gagged at the suggestion he was making. "Gross. Get your s
GAZELLE'S POV After what happened the previous night, I didn't think that I would want to attend another ball night. The plan was to remain in my bed and see Jenna later in the evening since she wasn't ready to see me this morning. But my little rest was caught short as I was sent a reminder of my punishment. I got off the bed dutifully and changed into a loose fitting outfit. I got my cleaning equipment and began my dirt. I cleaned up my dorm and thankfully, some cleaners had already cleaned the girlfriend's floor so I didn't have to deal with the obnoxious girls. The boys dorm was already cleaned so all I had to do was clean the surroundings and the boyfriend's suite. I took my time to clean because I didn't want them around when I was cleaning. By the time I was done with half of Wolverine, the ball had already begun and wolves were beginning to arrive. I spent one more hour cleaning before heading to the Boyfriends suite. There was no one at home which was a
GAZELLES’S POV When she was talking about two halls, I should have asked her how she knew they were two. The fact that I was in the hall with a crowd of anticipating people and a big projector was at the front. I could see an excited Jenna run into the hall only for it to be slammed immediately. On meeting the empty hall, I could see the confusion and panic on her face. The crowd already started chuckling but I was worried for her. She ran to the door, trying to get it open but it wasn’t working. My heart was drumming in my chest. What were they going to do to her? “Let me out!” She yelled and I decided I was done watching. I was going to go out there and help her but just as I stood, the next thing on the screen made me freeze. There were bees. Like actual bees. It was like they were released from their hive or something. I couldn’t bring myself to move. This was like the most evil thing I had ever seen. As expected, Jenna panicked and began banging heavily against
JEREMY She looked like she wanted to be anywhere but here, and confusion was drawn on her face like a tattoo. "This is a prank." She stated with a shake of her head. "Please, I promise to stay out of everything that relates with the Terrors or the Girlfriends." I almost laughed out loud at the panic in her voice, but I refrained and kept a straight face instead. "I would've thought you had more balls than that, but I guess I was wrong." There was no way I was going to try to make an ally out of someone who was walking, breathing cowardice. If she didn't want any bit of revenge then so be it. "Wait!" She called out to stop me as I walked away from her. I turned back to face her, my eyebrows arched in silent question. "What do you want?" "I already told you what I want, Gwen. You're either brave enough to be a part of it or you're not." My gaze trailed over her from head to toe. "And something tells me you're on the side of not." "How do I know that you're not mislead
JEREMY'S POV I was flipping pissed, my mood was raw on the voltages of anger I had been tapped high on. I was going to fucking kill Jordan. "You couldn't have fucking taken my side? You were okay with watching your psycho brother kill me?" I swore at Jayden. "Maybe if you stopped riling him up, you wouldn't even need saving in the first place." He threw back at me angrily. "I didn't freaking need saving. I just didn't want to take the killing blow." I defended myself. For whatever bullshit reason I really hadn't wanted to kill Jordan. I was hoping that he would come to his senses eventually and all of that would be over, but I guess I was wrong. That bastard is more animal than he is human. "What the hell even happened? I was out for all of ten minutes and next thing you're at each other's throats?" He pushed his hand through his hair in frustration and then turned to face me a second time. "What did you say to him?" "Of course it was me who started it. No way your pre
JEREMY'S POV I couldn't possibly be imagining this. This place was deserted to a very large extent. Something was most definitely up. Every single person that had walked past us or even peeked through their windows at us since we strolled by casually had been either female or child. It was Jayden that finally responded to my comment. "No, it's not just your mind. This is actually a space dominated by anything other than the male wolves." Jordan made a show of sniffing the air. "There's no single scent of a male wolf within a 50 mile radius of this place." "What do you think could be going on?" I asked. This was seriously crazy. There was no way in hell that all of the men in the pack had just decided to step out on the same day. Especially not after the number of traps we'd had to get past on our way here. "I think there was more than one trap left waiting for us." Jayden didn't sound too pleased by that possibility. Not that I could blame him, I wasn't pleased by it ei
JORDAN'S POV "It's quite easy to make demands like that when you're sitting safe behind an office desk, isn't it?" I spat out before I could stop myself. Something about the woman made me want to vomit. She irritated the fuck out of me and I was always fighting the urge to simply wring her throat with my bare hands. "Excuse you?" Her eyes were oozing fire as she trained them on me. "There's just three of us. And yet we're constantly being pitted against a full army of wolves by ourselves." "You're Alphas." She deadpanned like that could justify everything in the world. "Doesn't make us infallible." I bit back. "Maybe if the board could be a little bit more considerate about the kinds of missions we were sent on, we wouldn't have a revenge on our hands now." My tone was becoming a lot more disrespectful with each word that came out of my mouth and I noticed my brother stiffen beside me. One of his palms dropped on my thighs, calming me down without words. As expected,
