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
LORRAINE'S POVI didn't think she was serious. It just had to be a joke.But when she got off the bed and headed downstairs, my confidence faltered a bit. J trailed behind her, paying to the goddess that she was kidding.Maybe she was going to warn him or threaten him to silence. Any of them. I had hope for that. I didn't dare try to think otherwise. Perhaps if I did, the event unfolding before me wouldn't have been so surprising. Chloe easily blocked his path and his gaze shifted between me and her. I kept my eyes away, refusing to indulge myself.Chloe cleared her throat and his attention fixated on her.“Who are you? I haven't seen you around,” she started with a reasonable question so I relaxed, expecting nothing out of the ordinary.“I'm Hector. You haven't seen me because I'm new. I just returned to the country recently,” he answered.“So you came back to
LORRAINE'S POVThey are engaged? Right after they told me it was a misunderstanding?“Please calm down, Lorraine. There has to be an explanation for this,” Chloe pleaded but her words sounded distant to my ears.My mates were officially engaged and she said there was an explanation.I stood dazedly.“Lorraine, please hold on. Let me call them, at least,” she pleaded with me. I didn't stop. I wished she would just give up and see them for who they truly are. They didn't like me. I don't why they acted like they were in love with me. But this was just a cruel joke. Maybe that is what it was to them. They were trying to play me. Tears stung my eyes as I left the room. I walked outside the house to find some solace in the garden. That was when I saw Josh coming into the manor. He looked nothing like the arrogant Josh I was used to. Aside from the scars scattered all over his exposed skin, he was lean and malnourished. “Josh?” I called and he froze like a deer caught in headlights.
JAYDEN'S POV We sat in the dining for dinner. Unfortunately, Grace and Annabelle were present too. My father sat in his seat as usual, focusing on his meal like he had no idea what he had done. “Father,” Jordan spoke up. Unlike me, he wasn't the type to keep in his feelings. “When are they leaving?”The women stopped chatting. They had been discussing our wedding, which was supposed to come up in a year, after our graduation. “That was rather rude, Jordan. They are your future Lunas. You should be nice to them,” He said. “I am not obligated to be nice to a woman you forced on me. We have our mate, who is probably heartbroken as we speak because of the marriage you forced on us!” Jordan said plainly. “Jordan…”“Shut up! I wasn't talking to you!” He snapped at Annabelle and she shrieked in fright. “He is right, father. We don't want them. We want Lorraine,” I concurred. Grace looked at me like I betrayed her in the worst way possible but I didn't care about her feelings. I was m
LORRAINE'S POVMy whole being stiffened. Hector was kissing me. A guy I barely even knew just freaking stole my first kiss. And I… I was kissing back. It was like my whole body was in a chokehold. Everything about evaded my head, driving out common sense. His hands released my shoulders to cup my cheeks. My body heated up as our tongues gilded against each other. The kiss grew from slow and passionate to hungry and intense. That was when my senses came back and I shoved him off me. I struggled to catch my breath as he stared at me. “What is wrong with you?” I yelled at him. “Why would you suddenly kiss me out of the blue?” I demanded. “Really? Do you have a problem with it now? It seems like you were enjoying yourself when you kissed back,” he snorted. I shot him a glare. I couldn't even say I was in shock because then, I wouldn't be kissing him back, would I?I turned my back on him and walked into the manor. I headed straight to my room and locked her door. A lot of thin
LORRAINE'S POV“That was fast,” he chuckled the minute I walked through the door. “Did you by any chance miss me?” “You wish!” I retorted, walking to the edge. I stared down, watching the students troop in and out. “What are you doing up here then?” He asked and I looked at him. “I want us to talk about last night,” I said. He took a long drag of the cigarette. I walked towards him and pulled the stick out of his mouth. “You should seriously stop smoking. Don't you have people that care about you?” I asked, crushing the cigarette.“I do but they are all dead,” his answer made my body stiffen. I looked up to meet the seriousness on his face. “I'm sorry about that. I didn't know,” I apologized.“You don't have to apologize. Just don't crush my cigarette next time,” he said, taking out another stick. “If it means you getting angry at me, by all means, do. I won't let you kill yourself slowly. This is a very unhealthy addiction,” I stated, snatching it from him once again. “You can
