Lorraine's POVJosh stumbles towards me, his question still hanging in the air. “Answer me Lorraine.” He half shouts. I've never seen Josh this drunk before, especially not in the house, with his parents so close. Wolves also have a high tolerance for alcohol so he must have really drunk a lot.He reaches me and raises his hand in the air. My old friend Fear, pays me a visit, a knock on the door signalling its arrival. I stand still, locked in place as his simple action swaps me for my past self, the one who was weak and small and timid in the face of anything scary. The one who always lets people walk over her. He lowers his hand and touches my chin. “Sweet, pretty, pretty, weak, ungrateful, omega Lorraine.” He tightens his grip on my jaw. “When did you start hanging out with my sister? Are you best buds with her now, bitch?” I lower my eyes and whimper as I feel his alcohol laden breath on my face, the fear digging its roots. No Lorraine, don't do this. Don't let all your months o
Lorraine’s POVI get to my room luckily without any other inconveniences occuring after Josh I don't think I would have been able to deal with another unwelcome encounter with the alpha or worse his luna. I was glad I had managed to escape the whole Nosh situation with no real casualty. if he had tried anything I'm not sure what i’d have done but one thing's sure. there would be blood and it definitely wouldn't be mine. everyone should be asleep by now which is good news.I'm done being afraid of those assholes, they are all bad. The only exception being Chloe and maybe the twins since they've been very kind to me even though they had no reason to and wouldn't really gain much because I have absolutely nothing. the students that made me suffer, the students that watched and laughed, the teachers, the alpha and Luna treating me like complete trash just because i live with them even though I am basically their slave. I am done and there is no going back. I will deal with each and everyo
I wake up early with an air of confidence around me. bright and early, feeling refreshed, full of energy and ready for everything the day would throw at me. I do all my chores with ease, humming to myself and for the first time in a long time I don't hate working. I have never felt this good in ages, it's nice to finally feel something other than empty or sad. I decided walking would help clear my head since the weather looks so beautiful today. The sun is shining bright but not scalding, a cool breeze blowing. Today is going to be good. I can feel it.I get to school pretty early giving me time to rest my head before students will start trooping in. A few minutes later students start rushing into class. Everyone looked bored, tired and done in general. Whoever said high school is fun had dementia because everyone here is just trying to survive. Maybe that's why I have been treated so badly. Everyone wanted to put their frustrations on someone, they wanted a release, they wanted to la
Lorraine’s POVThe sight of Josh and Lisa talking to the twins throws me completely off kitler. Chloe and I stare at each other, confusion evident on her face. I can't imagine how I look right now. I mean what could the twins possibly want to talk to those two about? Before I get the chance to decide what my next line of action would be, I see Jayden look at me sternly. He winks at me and gives me a quick nod, no one else notices. It felt intimate and dare I say it, felt like we shared a secret and I instantly understood what he wanted from me. I look at Chloe whose expression still reflects perplexity. “Just play along.” I whisper in her ear. Her eyes widen ever so slightly but unless they’d paid close attention, no one would have noticed. She nods as if replying to the voice in her head then flashes her brightest smile.I take her hand and we walk to the table. I am not afraid of Lisa, I've been sitting at this table with the twins for quite some time so her presence should change
Chapter 65LORRAINE'S POV“Lorraine.”I swallowed thickly, freezing on the spot. What could they possibly want now? We are done discussing Lisa and Josh right?They walked in front of me and I lowered my gaze, afraid they would see the turmoil brewing inside me. “Why are you always quick to run away from us? Are we that scary?” Jayden asked me, taking a step forward. I sucked in a breath, willing myself not to move. They were scary, yes, but there was something more. Like the intense heat spreading across my body like wild fire.“I-I wasn't… r-running away…” came my miserable attempt at denial. “You're stuttering again,” Jordan stated, his eyes narrowed at me. My lips quivered as I prayed for anything to save me from the awkward situation before I die of nervousness. “Relax, brother,” Jayden chuckled, patting his shoulder gently. “We don't want to scare off our princess, do we?” Princess? My cheeks heated up. My eyes widened in mortification as I realized my face was probably st
LORRAINE'S POVMy chores were unusually easy. Just the dishes and I was ready to retire for the night or so they believed. After drying my hand with the towel, I headed for Chloe's room. I only had to knock once before she opened the door and dragged me in. “Hurry up, it's almost seven,” she said. I glanced at the clock to make sure I wasn't losing my eyesight. “It's barely ten minutes past six, Chloe,” I stated and she rolled her eyes. “It doesn't matter. Your makeup is going to take hours to hit perfection, not forgetting we need to get to the arranged location before it's five minutes past seven,” she pointed. Now that she put it like that….“Don't just stand there. Hurry up and shower!” She scolded and I scurried into the bathroom, riding my clothes immediately. No matter how many times I showered in her bathroom, I could never get used to the fact that I had access to so many skin care products. After taking my sweet time to bath, I dried myself and walked into the room.
LORRAINE'S POVMy heart drummed against my chest as the worst scenarios played out in my head. I could already imagine the punishments I was going to get.“Mom, it's a friend of mine. She's not feeling too well, I need to get her home e immediately,” Chloe said, hugging me as she faced her mother. I made sure to bury my face in her shoulder.“Really? Why are you carrying her by yourself? Where is Lorraine?” The Luna asked and I swallowed a lump. “I sent her on an errand outside the manor. Can you stop with the questions, mom? She's in pain,” Chloe groaned. Without waiting for a response, she led me outside. At least now, we didn't have to take the secret passage anymore. She got me into the car and hurried to the driver's seat.“I'm so sorry about that, Lorraine. I should have gotten flats instead but the dress is made for heels,” she apologised.I was surprised to get an actual apology form Chloe. Even though she wasn't mean or anything, she always apologized indirectly. “It's fi
LISA'S POVI stared miserably at the clothes sprawled on my bed. They were my best and the most expensive set of designers I owned. I stomped my foot in annoyance. How could this stupid blackmailer ask me to give my clothes to that low life!Even in a hundred years, Lorraine would never be able to afford the cheapest of these clothes. “Arrrgghhhh! This is so annoying!” I groaned, kicking the bag away in anger. How could I be so careless? I wasn't the type to drink at parties not talk of getting drunk!A knock came on my door, adding to my agitation.“What?!” I snapped and the door opened. Dylan strolled into my room like he wasn't invading my space. “What are you doing here?” I demanded, with undisguised annoyance.“Why are there so many clothes on your bed? Are you planning to run away?” He wiggled his brows. “It is none of your business!” I snapped. “Can you get lost now?”He was taken aback by my reaction. I have never spoken to him that way. I was usually the respectful lovely
