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
LORRAINE'S POVPanic was an understatement of what I felt now. What would people say when they see three hot guys fighting over me? Of course, no one would take my side. They would think I bewitched them. How else would a useless fat servant like me get these men to fight over me?The fight was a brutal one and Hector was on the losing side. It was expected. A beta wolf was no match for two lycan princes. I had to stop them before things got out of hand. “Enough!” I yelled but no one listened to me. Instead, they intensified the fight. “Jayden, Jordan, stop it!” I yelled again but they ignored me. I was done. I moved to the edge of the roof.“If you three don't stop right now, I will jump!” I yelled at the top of my voice and they separated instantly like hot water splashed on them. “Get down from there, Lorraine,” Jayden ordered. I didn't budge and he tried to come closer.“If you come closer, I will jump!” I warned and he backed down. “Lorraine, this is not funny, get down h
LORRAINE'S POVChloe's hostility to me was shocking. Sure she was the Alpha's daughter and we had no business getting into any form of relationship.I shouldn't feel betrayed in any way but that was exactly how I felt now. If she wanted to cut me off, why did she have to befriend me in the first place if she was going to cut me off like this?It broke my heart and made me feel a lot more terrible than I was supposed to. Today the twins and Hector fought over me and now Chloe was ignoring me. I didn't want to agitate her more than she already was. I could hope that it was just a transfer of aggression and not the end of our friendship. The next day, I went to see her after my chores. I was hoping we could go to school together as a means to rekindle our bond. She was coming out of her room when I met her.“Good morning, Chloe. You're up early today,” I smiled but she simply walked past me like I wasn't there. I was stunned. “Chloe?” I called running after her. “Did I do something
CHLOE'S POVI didn't want to go to the cafeteria. I wasn't ready to sit with Lorraine or the twins or any of those assholes. I just wanted my peace. So the school garden was the perfect place to be. I sat on the high path pavement, eating my apple idly while thinking about my life. Sure things were starting to look better in the last couple of weeks. I had school, a friend, and my family, somewhat. But things were going to change very soon. A little sooner than I would have preferred.“You come here too?” That voice startled me. When I looked up, it felt like I forgot to breathe when the curly-haired haired stared at me.It was his usual distant gaze. He looked like he could actually see me this time.“Ian,” I breathed. “And you know my name too,” he mumbled. I noticed his cheeks were slightly turning pink. “I'm sorry I don't quite know your name,” he rubbed his palms against his jacket before offering them to me. “Chloe,” I responded and the spars the brief contact ignited wi
JAYDEN'S POV“We need to talk,” I said after we successfully blocked his path. He looked at us with agitation.“I don't have time to waste on an unproductive conversation. If you want your woman, you know where to find her, leave me out of this,” he stated. The audacity of this wolf. He wasn't even a match for one of us yet for some reason, he wasn't afraid of any of us.“This concerns you actually,” Jordan stepped in. “Before we start, what is your name? You seem new.” He glanced at his watch.“Hector,” he clicked his tongue. “You have to hurry up with whatever you're going to say. I'm going to be late for my afternoon shift and the Alpha won't take it easy on me.”“The Alpha?” I enquired. “Yes, I work as a guard,” he responded without an iota of shame. Jordan and I exchanged glances. A mere guard was dragging our mate with us and we were just about to pay him off?That was a huge slap in our faces as Lycan Princes. Did Lorraine know about this? That she was going to throw away a
LORRAINE'S POV “Chloe, can I sincerely ask you something?” I asked when we got to the manor. “As long as it's not about why I'm mad at you,” she said. I bit my lip. Even though I was curious about that as well, it wasn't the reason I wanted to talk to her. “The twins… Do you think I should give them another chance?” I asked her. A frown settled on her lips. “What?” She huffed. “Don't tell me you are even considering that. To the best of my knowledge, they are still engaged and they haven't even given a logical explanation for it. They treat you like you don't have a mind of your own. They don't check in with you before doing anything, they just do what they want and expect you to go with it,” she said. I hated how true it was. The twins were mostly selfish and inconsiderate. They didn't care if they were right or wrong, they just left me to deal with it. There were a lot of things I didn't know about them, other than the fact that they were incredibly handsome and rich. “Look,
LORRAINE'S POVWhat the hell are they doing?“Hector?” The Alpha repeated. “You heard correctly,” Jayden affirmed. I couldn't believe my ears. They came all the way here to have Hector punished? The urge to storm over to them and scream in their faces was overwhelming. “We would like to watch this punishment with every single member of your pack. Can you do that, Alpha?” Jayden went. This had to be the pettiest thing I've ever seen. I knew better than anyone else that they weren't interested in humiliating Hector before other pack members. They wanted to humiliate him before me. To prove that they had a lot more power than I can imagine. They wanted to render him weak. I snuck out of my hiding place and went to Chloe's room. She was probably the only one who didn't know what was happening. Or maybe she did but didn't care enough to check. I knocked twice and she opened the door. “Oh my goodness, Lorraine! Don't you understand the concept of space?” She groaned but I walked in
