***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
LORRAINE I froze. My back ramrod straight at the sound of the teacher's voice. I knew that staying back at the cafeteria with the twins had been a bad idea. It was delusional of me to think that I could get away with coming late to class. My heart raced within the confines of my chest and all I could think about was how much I wanted to enter the ground. Anything to take my mind away from the way everyone was looking at me. When I was finally able to gather the courage, I raised my gaze to meet the stern expression of the teacher who stared at me. “What on earth were you thinking, coming to my class ten minutes late?” he raised an eyebrow at me. I swallowed anxiously, somehow the words and the explanation were stuck on the tip of my tongue. I closed my eyes and sighed, trying to drift my attention from the way my heart was heavily pounding. “She was with us” I heard Jordan growl from behind me and I raised my head to see the teacher's expression crumple into one of fear. “Do yo
LORRAINEI glanced at the space in the parking lot and released a long sigh. Why did I think that Josh was going to be sympathetic towards me and offer to give me a ride in the hot weather? Of course, I was more than aware that I was going to have to walk back to the manor in this hot weather. My clothes clung to my body like a second skin because of the sweat. All I was aware of was the detention that I was feeling within. I closed my eyes and huffed. I was beyond tired. Detention had been torturous. Why I had expected Jayden and Jordan to defend or try to get me out of it, I had no idea. My expectations baffled me sometimes it dawned on me that I wasn't even in the position to expect anything. I closed my eyes and sighed. It seemed almost excruciating to put one leg in front of the other as I walked towards the manor. Students zoomed past me in their cars, some took the liberty of shooting mocking words at me through the window as they drove past. I was too tired, too exhausted to
LORRAINEI hesitated for a moment but for some reason, my legs couldn't simply move in front of the other. All I wanted to do was squeeze myself in a corner and remain there for a long time but it would seem that the universe can't always give you what you want. I tried to swallow past the lump that was beginning to form at the base of my throat. Finally, I was able to head towards the hallway. I made sure my steps were slow and sluggish and I dreaded having to go over to Josh's room so I decided that it would be a much better idea if I informed Chloe first. It would at least give me some time to get my fear under control. I closed my eyes she sighed as I headed towards the dimly lit hallway and I took a sharp turn into another long hallway where Chloe's room was located. Finally, I arrived at the front of her door and my nerves returned. I was hesitant. After hesitating for a long moment. I knocked on the door twice and waited. There was only some silence at the other end of the do
LORRAINESilence lingered between us but it didn't seem so overwhelming. “I didn't get to thank you for the other time” She lowered her gaze and for a moment, I was convinced that she was hesitant to meet mine. “Thank you. I was irrational and everywhere was suffocating me and I needed to get the hell away from this place” she said and I listened. To be honest, I wasn't even expecting her to go into much detail but I was there to listen. Maybe that was what she needed at the moment. A listening ear. It was easy for me to tell because I needed that too. There were times that I would be alone with tears in my eyes and I would wish that someone could be around to listen to me rant my eyes out. Was it weird that I could relate with her, that I could understand her in a way that I never thought that I would be able to? I didn't want to fast pace and assume that we were bonding. We aren't but still. I could suddenly understand where she was coming from. I closed my eyes and sighed. I was
LORRAINE I stared at the knife in my hands in horror. All the thoughts and the assumptions running rampant through my head. I tried to think and consider the possibilities of it ending up there but I didn't know what to think. I didn't want to imagine that Chloe was capable of hurting anyone. She was always so calm and collected and she had a thing for keeping to herself and not wanting to associate with anyone. She enjoyed being by herself. I didn't think that it was her nature to hurt or harm anyone but then again I didn't want to conclude. My face paled almost immediately at the next thought that ran through my mind. What if…. What if she was hurting herself? The very thought filled me with dread and the possibility of it being a reality made my tummy clench to the point that I was almost convinced that I would become nauseous and throw up the contents of my rug on the floor. I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply. Trying to gather composure on my spiraling emotions. The peace an
