LORRAINEThere was no way that I could tell that I didn't like it. The last thing that I wanted to do was dampen her mood. “I'm sure they're other options. Let's not decide that this is the best one yet” I said and her eyes brightened with excitement. “I agree. There're many more for you to try out” she said and I headed back to the pile of clothes on the bed and I pulled out two pieces. It was dark red. I didn't bother to stare too much at it as I hurried towards the direction of the closet. I prayed this one that I selected was a bit more minimalistic. Chloe was never going to let go until she was satisfied that I had the ‘perfect’ outfit. I wondered how she even got invited to a party anyway. I've been attending Werewolf High for a long time and my social life was dead. Frankly, it was understandable why I didn't get invited to these things. I didn't need the unnecessary crowd and if there was one thing that I was good at, it was standing out but not in a good way. Never in a go
LORRAINEThe work didn't take me more than 20 minutes to finish up. I have been thinking about what Chole said but I don't know how to convince her of what a bad idea it is to sneak out of the palace. We might get caught and that will be the end of the little freedom she got but knowing Chole never cares about what her parents think or say. I checked one more time to make sure everything was in order before I exited the room. Thank Goodness Josh wasn’t at the dining. Dinners in Alpha Taylor’s manor are not to be enjoyed but endured. It's always awkward to be in the midst of these people “Chole where's your brother”? Alpha inquired “He asked that his food be taken to his room, he won't be coming down for dinner,” Chole said nonchalantly.They all ate their food in silence. “Mum, Dad goodnight and please I don't want to be disturbed,” She said before leaving the table.“ Good night sweetheart” Her parents answered in unison. After a long day of school and chores, I was finally done wi
LORRAINE“Lorraine, Lorraine” I heard my name being called. I opened my eyes slowly to see Chole looking at me with worry clouding her face. Her brows were furrowed in a frown. “Did you have a bad dream?"Chloe asked quietly as she stretched her hand towards me. I paused and then I nodded my head reluctantly. I couldn't form a word. It was a dream but how could it be so real?The good news was that Chole is here safe and sound. I continued to look at her as though she came from a different world. The entire class was staring at me like I had lost my mind. I was almost tempted to close my eyes and give in tears that were threatening to consume me. My eyes stung with them but I didn't let them fall. The last thing I needed was for the class to see me break down.“What happened, why is everyone staring at me?” I asked Chole, who looked shocked and worried.“You were sweating and shivering as though you were being chased by someone,” Chole said softly“I'm sorry”. I don't know why and wh
An Omega, the lone wolf, that has been my identity for as long as I can remember, I held the lowest rank in the lowest pack of the werewolf community and for my whole life, I've been living each day like I was threading on sharp shards of glasses and I had to be extremely careful as the tiniest misstep will cause a deep slash across the iota of ego I've managed to amass over the past years. The first sound of the cock crow was an immediate signal that sent me springing up from the cold slab of concrete I laid on at the porch of the Alpha's abode The chilly dawn wind gushed past my face as I grabbed a broom and began to sweep around the Alpha's mansion; a morning duty I had to finish before anyone else woke up else I'd be missing a school day. I got the sweeping done in no time; I've been doing this for more than ten years after all, and I advanced to the kitchen to make breakfast before the Alpha's children woke up. Alpha Taylor is the Alpha of the Nightwalker pack, a pack that I
"Introduce yourselves," said Mrs Martha to the twins."My name is Jayden Thorin Hunter and I am from the Lycan pack," The first twin said gruffly."And?" Mrs. Martha signaled to the second twin that it was his turn to speak"Jordan Thorin Hunter" he growled in a more dead-like voice that sent shivers down my spine.That musk-spicy scent mixed with the gentle fragrance of a Lily flower, that scent was getting stronger and intoxicating so much that I couldn't stop staring at them."Lorraine!" Mrs Martha's growled sending my mind back to the four walls of the classroom"Ma'am?" I responded, standing up with a flushed look."I called your name repeatedly, did you not hear me or did you pretend not to?!" Mrs. Martha questioned."She pretended not to, such a rude wolf, but what more can one expect from an Omega of the Nightwalker pack" Lisa scornfully remarked."Silence Lisa," Mrs Martha said, facing me again "There are no seats for the twins, can you go to the storage room and get two extr
"Is something funny Lorraine?" The teacher asked making the whole class glance at me"What? No no" I replied quickly"Then why do you have a smile plastered on your face as I spoke?" The teacher asked"I... I was......I wasn't smiling Sir" I defended"If your attention was here then what was I talking about?" He asked and I stared blankly trying to recall what I never listened to"Stand up" the teacher commanded and I sighed, not again, please"You shall remain standing for the rest of my class today," he said and the whole class chuckled, the whole class except the Lycan twins who continued to maintain a straight face while focusing on the teacherI tried bringing back my focus to the teacher's lecture but my wolf wouldn't allow me the solace of the littlest concentration as I continued to steal glances at the twinsAmongst my periodic side glances at the twins, my eyes locked with the tanned twin, Jordan and we gazed at each other for a second, he smirked and winked at me, and my fa
Nightfall came with me busy in the kitchen, my sore neck had healed now and I had to prepare dinner for everyoneAs 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 gleeI 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 voiceGreat, he said "we", that means he's in with the Luna and that's one less room for me to goI proceeded to Josh's room and knocked but I got no responseI 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 bedIs he not in his room?"Josh?" I called again and I heard some noise coming from th
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
