LORRAINE'S POV The loud music brought me back to consciousness. My eyes opened but I could barely make out anything. I tried to blink the dizziness away but it only made way for the persistent banging in my head. Once my eyes were open, I realized I was in a club, but it looked upside down. And I wasn't alone.The room had many men in it, staring hungrily at me. I panicked and tried to break free but I realized that I was dangling in the air, chained from the ceiling. I spotted Lisa's brother on the other side, discussing with a man. I made to call him but it came out as a muffled scream because my mouth was taped. He returned to the rest. “Oh, you're awake. Welcome to the party, sweetheart,” he winked and my stomach sank. This was going to be the worst day of my life. I could feel it in my bones. The situation was so terrible that even my wolf was whimpering.Yes, that is how bad it was. My nonchalant wolf couldn't even pretend to be nonexistent. I could hear her panicking in
LORRAINE'S POVOne minute, it was a low growl in my head and the next minute, I was covered in blood and the screams of the men echoed in the room. I didn't exactly see the blood but I could smell it.“Kill the bitch!” I heard one of the screams from a distance. It was like I was no longer in control of my body but I knew I didn't shift. I would have felt the pain if I did. All I knew was that there was blood everywhere and somehow it had something to do with me. I wasn't aware of my actions. It was like there was a fog over my eyes. I could only hear not see. The screams were accompanied by repeated banging on the door and before I knew it, the whole room was silent. Suddenly, the fog cleared and my head banged. My body wobbled and my eyes were dizzy. I hit the ground in no time and that was when I saw the blood. All the men that were in the room earlier were battered and severely wounded. All covered in blood. I could see the scratch marks on their body.I couldn't help but w
LORRAINE'S POV I was taken down from the ceiling but it didn't make me less afraid. From the terrified look Drake gave me, it was obvious I was anything but innocent. The bouncer shoved me ahead. Until I was in front of him. I could see how nervous he was even though he tried not to let it show. “Where are you taking me?” I asked. “Take her away,” he instructed. They grabbed me, pushing past the crowd of people to a door at the other end of the club. It led to a staircase which we followed until we got to an empty room. My breath caught my throat at the sight before me. There were bodies, freshly killed and the men present in the room were like twice the size of the bouncers. I found myself shrinking on the spot. They shoved me forward. “Who do we have here?” The man has a deathly grin. One that told me that this wasn't going to be a pleasant meeting. “She killed a couple of Alphas and Betas. Boss wants to know her true identity,” the man beside me spoke. I swallo
LORRAINE'S POV The chaos before me was nerve racking. To think that it was because of me made me more frightened. I was glad the twins were here but the damage they had done was frightening. Drake tried to sneak away but Chloe stood in his way, alerting the twins. Both heads whipped around at the same time. “I am not afraid of you or anyonem. If the twins get here, I will easily beat them too,” Drake huffed at her, unaware that the twins were already behind him. “Why don't you…” Jayden tapped his shoulder and his head whipped around. I could see the raw fear in his eyes. Almost like the one he had back in the room. Only that one was thrice more scary that this. “What were you saying?” Jayden asked but Jordan didn't give him the chance to respond as he flung him across the room. He let out a thick groan as he hit the wall. “What gave you the audacity to think that you can kidnap our mate?” Jayden growled at him. Drake was afraid but he tried to put on a brave front. H
LORRAINE'S POV I waited for him to deny it. I desperately hoped they would. My heart was already shattering to pieces. “You can't even deny it,” my voice cracked. “You won't understand,” he drawled. I stared at him in disbelief. That was the best he could offer? No form of explanation? Is that how meaningless I am to them? “No! You are not meaningless. Don't ever refer to yourself like that, got it?” He snapped. I didn't understand why he was getting angry at hearing the truth. They used to pass time. To wait on their fiancees, while deceiving the whole time that we were mates. I have always known that it was too good to be true. How could I bag the two most handsome men in werewolf high when I was barely an anverage student? “Then why didn't you tell me? What is this big explanation that you can't give to me?” I asked them. “Or were you just trying to play me? I don't even understand. Why would you even want to play me? I'm not pretty, I don't have the influence, I'm not
LORRAINE'S POVAll I wanted to do was sleep in and forget the heartbreak but I had to get ready for school.My body sank deeper into the bed in protest. I didn't want to get up. I didn't want to go to school.In fact, I wanted to go to the Luna and ask her to take my education away. Anything that would stop me from facing the twins. But I knew if any of that happened, they would come looking for me and I couldn't afford to let that happen. So I dragged myself off the bed and went to the bathroom to shower. After dressing up, I headed downstairs to help with serving. I didn't even wait for Chloe. I headed straight to school and rested my head against my locker to get some sleep. “You're early,” I heard a strange voice. I raised my head to meet a stunning set of grey eyes. For some reason, a strange chill ran down my spine. I have never seen this guy in school. He looked like a typical bad boy. He had piercings on his brows and ears. A sharp jawline with a permanent smirk. His tan
CHLOE'S POVI arrived at school, hoping to catch a glimpse of Lorraine but she wasn't in class. Her school bag sat neatly in her chair and I sighed in relief.At least she was in school. The twins on the other hand were in class. They didn't even make eye contact with me as much as I tried to catch their attention. Their sole focus was on the teacher. Soon, the class was over and I decided to go in search of her. She had to be somewhere in school, avoiding the twins, I'm guessing. I was so intent on finding her that I didn't realize where I was going and bumped into someone. “I'm so sorry,” I apologized immediately, aware it was my fault, packing the flying papers as fast as I could.By the time I looked up to hand them over to the owner, my breath caught in my throat.Ian?My cheeks colored deeply. Of all the ways to introduce myself to my crush, I had to bump right into him. Luckily, he didn't see my blush because his gaze was fixed on the papers in my hand. “Can I have that
JAYDEN'S POVLorraine was ours. We didn't need to feel insecure. We definitely didn't need to confront him but we needed him to back off. He was nothing but a regular wolf. Not even an Alpha. He was no match for us. So putting up a fight on his part would be useless. And that too against both of us. He was as good as dead if he attempted it. We cornered him on his way down from the roof. He didn't seem intimidated by our presence.“I assume you want something since you're blocking my path,” he chuckled. “Why could we possibly want from you?” I scoffed. He raised an amused brow. “Alright, get out of my way then,” he made to pass between us but I shoved him back. He staggered back a little then straightened. His eyes darkened.“We are not done talking,” I stated. I saw his jaw tighten and it amused me to no end. Does he want a fight?“Lorraine,” I started. “She is off limits. We don't want to see you hanging around her.”“Oh, this is about a girl,” his annoyance melted into pure
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,
