LORRAINE'S POVI was stunned and angry.I told myself that I wouldn't feel sorry for anything that happened to him. How could he look me in the face and say I was using him as an excuse to get back with the twins when all I was trying to do was help him for the sake of my conscience?I tossed on my bed, unable to sleep. No matter how many times I reminded myself that I tried to help, it just didn't work out. I was worried for him and I hated it. The man was botherline rude and self-conceited. He didn't deserve any form of pity from me but I felt guilty. I was the one who put him in that situation knowing fully well how jealous the twins could get. Around 3 am, I finally fell asleep. I woke up late the next day and had to marathon through my chores to finish on time. Despite that, I was still two hours late to school and Chloe already left without me. As I walked to school, I couldn't help but hope that Hector would just show up. I needed to know he was okay or I wouldn't be abl
LORRAINE'S POV “Hey.” He raised his head from his locker. “It's lunch break. Do you want something to eat?” I asked him. Hector continued staring at me like a movie. He was still hazy from his sleep, I guess. “Hector!” I snapped my hands on his face and he blinked. “Wake up!” He pushed himself off the desk and yawned slightly. “What's new?” “The teacher left the class about ten minutes ago. Everyone else is at the cafeteria except us,” I informed him.“Why haven't you gone with the rest of them?” He asked me. I bit my lip, avoiding his gaze bashfully.“I… I wanted to thank you.” “Interesting,” he leaned into his seat, lips curling into a smirk. The intensity of his gaze had me shifting from foot to foot. “Thank you for helping me out today,” I finally got the words out. “Words are not enough, doll,” he drawled, getting off his seat. He closed the gap between us and my nerves went haywire.The classroom suddenly felt like an enclosed space with limited oxygen. His hands tr
LORRAINE'S POVThe last few hours had me restless. It had nothing to do with my conflicting feelings. It was my wolf. For some reason, she was pacing in my head. At this point, I was missing her silent nonchalant self. At least then, it let me have some peace. I tossed from one side of my bed to another until eventually I got up and decided to take a walk. She wanted to go somewhere, not just the garden outside the manor. I hoped it was only for fresh air and not too far away from the manor because it was already dark.I strained my eyes to see in the dark, hoping to catch anything that posed a threat so I could run but my wolf didn't care. It just wanted to get to a certain place in its mind. She skillfully kept this one from me so I couldn't even know if it was dangerous or not, I couldn't even refuse. As I walked down the street, I suddenly heard a snarl behind me. My entir
LORRAINE'S POVAlpha Gordon wanted to see me? Why?The last time he saw me, he humiliated me in every way he could think of, and now he suddenly wanted to see me.My guts were against it. Something was fishy about the whole arrangement.“Get in, Lorraine,” Jayden urged. “I… I can't. Your father doesn't like me so why would he suddenly want to see me?” I asked then my mind took me back to what happened to their fiancees.Did they report me already? Is that why he wanted to see me? So he could punish me for humiliating his future daughter-in-law?There was no way I was going to take that chance. Jayden got out of the car. “Lorraine, this is our chance to be together, please. We have been trying to convince him to call off the engagement for weeks and now he finally agreed to meet you, you don't want to come?” He asked me. “Is… is that really why he wants to see me? Not because Grace
LORRAINE'S POV I love you, Lorraine. The words echoed in my head until I got home and I couldn't keep the smile away from my lips. That was probably the best part of lunch. I met Hector at the front porch when I returned and his eyes dropped to my lips immediately. I unconsciously touched them and his focus returned to my face. “I'm guessing it went well,” he said dryly. “Their father was borderline disturbing but I guess I could live with that,” I answered. “I'm sure you can,” he retorted and I frowned. “Why did you say it like that?” I asked. “Nothing. Go in and rest,” he said dismissively. I facepalmed mentally. I shouldn't have told him that. He wouldn't be happy knowing I was having lunch with my mates whose father possibly accepted me. “Hector I'm so…” “Please just go in, Lorraine. Don't say anything else.” I respected his wish and entered inside. I couldn't deny that I did feel something for him. Something beautiful. But what I felt for the
CHLOE'S POVAm I shameless?Probably.Did I regret it?Absolutely not. But I knew I should. This man wanted Lorraine and I encouraged her to choose him over the twins. I'm not sure it counts anymore since she already chose the twins over him.But the lines between right and wrong were blurred by the alcohol in my system. The only thing I felt other than the lightheadedness was desire. Before he could say anything, I pressed my lips against his, giving him a taste of the ecstasy he was missing out on. My heart drummed against my chest as I prayed he wouldn't reject me again. It would break me if he did. He pulled away from me and I anticipated the inevitable rejection. “Chloe, you don't want to do this. You are just drunk and will certainly regret it the next day,” he told me.“Really?” I chuckled. “Is that written on my face cause I don't see how you could have possibly known that?” I climbed over the table, unceremoniously clearing everything in my path. He quickly grabbed the
LORRAINE'S POVI had no right to get angry but I was. Angry and betrayed. That the one who professed to love me was in the arms of the one encouraging me to choose him. My best friend!The ache in my heart was seizing my breath at a rapid rate as she scampered off him. Hector got off his seat. While Chloe staggered, seemingly drunk, Hector seemed just fine to me. He held her firmly in his arms and walked towards me. I didn't want to believe that he took advantage of her. She was such a lightweight and tended to do stupid things when she was drunk. But that didn't make me less pissed.I should have known since they most likely slept together already. This could be their second or possibly umpteenth time together. I wouldn't know. It just hurt that she would do this right after she suggested that I be with him. “Lorraine…” she slurred. “It's you.” “Get her to bed. She's tired,” he said but my eyes dropped to the bulge in his pants. “Were you taking advantage of her?” I demanded
LORRAINE’S POVI couldn’t get the call with Jayden off my mind. Why didn’t I feel as excited as I should have when he confused his love for me? Why did it feel so empty when I said it back? I was supposed to love them with everything. Heart, body and soul, yet when I spoke to them last night, it felt like I was detached from them somehow.I tried not to overthink it. It was probably the shock of seeing Chloe and Hector together. Today, I went to her room with soup for her hangover. I was shocked to see her bed empty. I looked out of her window which was still shut to confirm if her car was still in the driveway and it was. Where in heaven’s name could she have gone to so early? Without her car too!I dropped the soup and covered it properly before cleaning her room. I returned to my normal morning chores and soon it was time for breakfast. The Alpha and Luna came down for breakfast but there was still no sign of Chloe.I t
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,
