JEREMY’S POVWe got ready to leave for the ShadowMoon pack. The mission was simple, and if we were lucky, we would complete it in less than an hour of arriving.“Before we leave, I’d like to make one thing clear,” Jayden spoke suddenly.“What is it? Developing cold feet right before our mission, not much like you, Jayden,” I taunted and he rolled his eyes. “No matter what happens, we should only kill when necessary,” his gaze shifted to me, “By that, I mean let’s try our best to spill only the blood of the Alpha. Those wolves are innocent.”“So their Alpha just managed to kill two hundred rogues, all by himself. What is he? A God?” I huffed, and he shot me a look. “Let’s face reality, Jayden. These people are not as innocent as you paint them to be. I’m going to kill anyone that stands in my way,” I told him.He didn’t say anything to that, and I was relieved. It would be annoying to argue with him right bef
GAZELLE'S POVAnother day. Shitty as fuck. Laps to run. Floors to clean. Being tossed around by every fucking shitface I came across. It was annoying, really, but there was nothing I could do about it. Nothing to change it. I packed the last set of dirt into the trash can and pulled it towards the back of the school. As I emptied it into the incinerator, I heard footsteps behind me. “You've got to be kidding me,” I muttered, turning over the second can. “And the rabid dog is taking out the trash,” I heard.The voice didn't ring a bell so I turned. *Would you rather I take you out instead?” I asked. “It won't be so difficult since you're not quite different from garbage,” I said, and the priceless looks on their faces were everything, but I knew I was going to regret that. “Are you talking to us?” The pink-haired stepped forward. “Of course not. How could I? I was talking to the fool behind you,” I said and she turned to her other friend. “Did you just call me a fool?” He
GAZELLE’S POVWolverine was unusually booming. Everyone was excited except me.They were busy picking out outfits and the blogs were filled with talks about the annual masquerade ball. I barely knew anything about it. It was barely a year since I became a part of this crazy place, so this was going to be my first Wolverine masquerade party. I had a terrible feeling that I wouldn’t enjoy it.Meanwhile, I took Jenna up on her offer. I was tired of being alone with only the library as my place of comfort. We’d been texting back and forth for a couple of days before she was able to convince me to come out to their hideout.It was a restricted building at the back of the school. I wondered how they didn’t get punished for using it, but I guess the rules work differently for different people.I threw on the blue sweats and my headwarmer, before heading to the back of the school.I spotted Jenna from afar and headed towards her quickly. Her smile widened on seeing me.“Gazelle! You made it!
GAZELLE’S POVGoing to this ball was a bad idea. But Jenna wouldn’t hear me out. She already selected three nice dresses for me, along with matching face masks. I was a bit relieved that no one would know I was the rabid dog or tilapia Zilli. I would just be like every other girl in a mask.Who knows, maybe I might even enjoy this ball.I stepped out of the changing room and Jenna’s eyes widened.“Oh my goodness! You look absolutely amazing,” she exclaimed and my cheeks coloured. “Now, we are going to do something about this hair of yours.”“Why?” I asked. “No one knows my real hair colour…” I paused, realizing that the Terrors might have a clue. “What are you going to do to my hair?”“We are going to dye and curl it. I think you are the only Wolverine with white hair, so if we just style it, they would know who you are,” she said.She had a point. My hair colour was strange and very weird. I would stand out if I went in like that and ended up being humiliated in place of anyone the
GAZELLE'S POVI was suddenly aware of the eyes on me. This wasn't the plan at all. All I wanted to do was dance with Jenna or by myself. I looked at Jenna and she gestured at me to take it. I sucked in a breath. “Please?” He added and I took the hand skeptically. He placed his hand around my waist and the heat the contact generated made my palms sweaty. I wanted to say something but I was afraid if I spoke he would immediately recognise me. “What is your name?” Came the first question. One I couldn't offer an answer to. I expected him to be pissed but he chuckled. This was definitely Jayden. I could tell from the mannerisms and the way he spoke. “Alright, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to. What training level are you in?” He asked instead.It was obviously level one since I've not participated in any training session yet but I didn't give any response.“For some reason, you do not want to speak but that is okay. I still want you as my date for the night,” he said a
SARAH'S POV I stood in a corner, watching them with anger. Why was my Jayden leaning so close to that thing? Was he trying to kiss her? That would certainly be the height of it. I could take anything but this insult. I couldn't even stand watching them anymore. The stupid thing probably thought she was special but the truth is that Jayden will always come back to me. No matter how many girls he chases, he will eventually lose interest in them and find himself back in my arms.I know I messed up but I am going to win him back no matter what it takes. And no stupid girl in a silly costume would stop that. I found the girls sitting at a VIP table, drinking and chatting away. “Girls,” I called their attention. “Have you picked who is going to be our ultimate clown for the night?”They exchanged glances. “I didn't think that was up to us to decide,” Carmen spoke. “She's right. We don't get to decide unless we're the ones pulling the prank, which, to the best of my knowledge, we
GAZELLE'S POVI was in trouble. Very big trouble. I cursed myself for leaving Jayden's side and even Jenna's. Both of them could have protected me from this. But here I was, alone, defenceless and cornered. Worse, I couldn't even use my wolf even if it wanted to because then, they would recognise me. Just as Gwen reached for the mask, the lights went off and it disoriented them. “What is happening? There has never been a power outage in Wolverine before now,” Sarah said. “I don't think it's an outage,” Carmen countered.I knew they would turn on their flashlights soon so I used the opportunity to crawl away from them while they argued about the light.My night sight was almost as clear as daytime so I easily manoeuvred through them into one of the stalls and locked it.I heard Jenna banging earlier, so I figured they must have locked the door. If only I had figured out that it was them on time, I would have locked the stall. “Turn on your flashlights! She's gone!” Gwen exclaime
GAZELLE’S POVI was panicking’ Everything I had been trying to hide in the last few hours had come to light, all because of what? A stupid table and some cupcakes.I couldn’t even look at him now. I was certain that he was regretting all the things he bought for me and even stressing himself to break the bathroom door. “You have such a beautiful voice,” he commented. “Why do you hide it?”The question made me raise my head. I certainly wasn’t expecting to hear that from him. I thought he would have figured out my identity from just hearing my voice, but I was wrong. He was totally clueless. “I don’t care what your reasons are, but I don’t want you to play this silent game all night. I want to talk to you so can you at least tell me your name?” He asked, and I shook my head. In the whole of Wolverine, I was the only one named Gazelle, so telling him that would be a big giveaway.“Maybe that is a little bit of a stretch,” he muttered. “Don’t tell me your name if you don’t want to. I
