GAZELLE’S POV Life in Wolverine had never been more unbearable. Every time I thought I had been worse, situations came up to prove that I hadn't even started. Usually, I would go to bed with a smile on my face, but now I just wanted the day to be over. The twins hadn't sent for me since they declared me their slave, an,d I wondered why. Not that I was looking forward to serving them or anything; it was just that I felt like I would be safer if I trailed behind them with their properties in my hand. No one would want to attack me when they saw that. They would have to choose between getting popular and losing their head. My stomach grumbled loudly and I rolled over. This was a very wrong time to feel hungry. I had been avoiding the cafeteria for days because I knew the massive embarrassment I would get if I dared step foot in there. It's crazy how, once upon a time, I imagined surviving six years in this hell hole. Now, it was a miracle to even survive a day. My stomach
GAZELLE'S POVI did.I knew fully well the duties of a slave but I just assumed since they had forgotten about me. Which was very silly if I may add, considering that my face was all over the media.Jeremy stepped forward and I willed myself to stay in place even though I was terrified.“Foodie, huh?” He taunted. “Clean yourself up and go to the suite. Your attention is urgently needed. You can do that, right?”I nodded. The Girlfriends were already off their seats, walking towards us. “Boys, boys, you couldn't have come just to get her, did you?” Gwen said as they stopped in front of them.“Of course not. There will be a pool party this weekend. Here are the invites,” Jeremy said, handing the black customized envelope to them.The cafeteria was alive once again with murmurs and cheers. Sarah walked past Jeremy to the twins. She even shoved me out of her way even when the path was big enough for her to walk without making any physical contact with me. “Jayden.” His expression wa
GAZELLE’S POVInvite?He couldn't be serious. There was no way I was going to bring myself to a T-exclusive pool party. I knew these guys. They would never have good intentions for any unfortunate person who fell into their clutches. This party was a trap and no way in hell would I let myself fall for it.“Thanks,” I forced a smile and pocketed it. I wasn't going to let him have any clue on what I was going to do, or else they would force me to attend. After cleaning up their suite, I had to move in all the drinks and snacks they ordered. I cleaned up the poolside, avoiding the water as much as I could.Merely staying close to it had my chest clenching at intervals. I was feeling the urge to throw up and pass out at the same time.I tried to work faster. It was already becoming difficult for me to breathe around here.In less than thirty minutes I was done and ready to leave. My stomach grumbled since I had nothing to eat for lunch so I grabbed three of the snacks reserved for to
GAZELLE'S POVI told myself I wasn't going to attend this party but I wasn't looking forward to finding out what Gwen would do to me.Besides, how hard could it be? All I had to do was give the package to Jordan and say it was from Gwen, right?I was a little curious about what was inside but I didn't dare open it. Not only did I lack the basic skills on how to wrap a gift, I had no money to even get the wrapping paper if I ruined it. I opened my wardrobe, staring at all the clothes I had lined up.Nothing suited a pool party and I wasn't that confident to go in there with a pant and bra.Picking out my shorts and grey sweater, I decided I was ready to go. I picked my head warmer and the gift. By seven, I was ready to move.When I arrived at their suite, I regretted my decision to come at this time. I should have come earlier so I could deliver the damn package and go back to my room. It wa
GAZELLE'S POVMai was on a spree, but I knew sooner than later, someone else was going to have to break the rules too to stop her.That someone was likely going to be stronger, so for our sakes, I projected the fear of getting a powerful counter-attack, and that was all it took to get her out of the pool area.The last time we faced a counterattack landed in Wolverine, and I knew my decision was going to get me in a lot of trouble with the board now. And no one would care that this little holiday wasn't going in my favour. I headed back to the dorm and shifted by my room. I was pretty sure the security cameras caught me already but I didn't care. At least they wouldn't circulate the footage, laughing at me. Besides, there were cameras everywhere, including our rooms, so they could have a full twenty-four hours of our lives.I hope they saw how much humiliation I was subjected to. I locked my door and went to sleep but it didn't even take an hour before the speakers went blazing.
GAZELLE'S POVThose words made my blood pressure pick up.I couldn't imagine the anger that was coursing through their veins now. I understood how careful they were with their properties so messing up the place has surely gotten me to the top of their bad list.“I will deal with that when I get there,” I told her. She merely laughed and turned away from me. “Well, I wish you luck with that. For your good, stay away from Sarah. She's out for blood,” she said before leaving. I quickly grabbed my inhaler from my pocket and pushed it into my mouth. I waited for five minutes for my breathing to steady.I missed the forest so much. At least here I didn't have anything to trigger my asthma. I was pretty much in wolf form all through my stay and I didn't have use for the stupid inhaler. Fuck, I didn't even know I had it until the day I was caught. I had a panic attack, and it felt like I couldn't breathe, which was very common in panic attacks, but even after they tried to calm me down, I
GAZELLE'S POVHe was going to enjoy it?Mai was fighting to take over again but I couldn't let her. I had already gotten into trouble because of her and I didn't want to get another punishment on the punishment I already had. So I released my claws and slashed his face.“You bitch!” He growled but I wasn't going to stop there. I sank a finger into his right eye, and that sent him off me with a scream. I didn't waste a second in getting up to run as fast as my legs could carry me. I managed to grab the cleaning equipment with me because I still had work to do. As I ran, I waited for the speakers to blow up for assaulting a staff but nothing happened. The next was the Terrors’ lodge and I wasn't looking forward to it. I arrived at their suite and swallowed. I didn't know if I could deal with the girlfriends’ presence.I barely made it in when someone slapped my shoulder from behind. “Hey, Tilapia! You were pretty badass at the party,” Jeremy snickered, stepping forward. His eyes d
JEREMY’S POVThe feeling was strange to me. It shouldn't matter if she was an orphan or not. It shouldn't matter if she grew up in a forest by herself. It shouldn't fucking matter if she had some ugly scars. It was all part of life. But I couldn't bring myself to touch her after that. My horniness was completely gone now and all I wanted to do was get back upstairs. She wore her clothes without questioning me and I walked past her. I swiped my keycard and led her out of the room. This was such a big waste of time. Things like this didn't usually affect me but now, I couldn't even bring myself to fuck a common girl. “Jeremy,” she called suddenly but I didn't stop. “Thank you.” My steps slowed and I looked at her over my shoulder. “Don't thank me yet, Zilli,” I said. The uncertainty and fear in her eyes were satisfying so I focused on leaving.Just as we reached my room, Jayden and Jordan walked in. “Where have you guys been?” I asked them and Jayden arched a brow. “We shoul
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,
