“Hey mate, want to play?” Baron was holding a ball in his hand, he held out a hand to me, the grin on his face was infectious. I could not help but smile back.After the cafeteria incident, Baron and I had left the place and come out to seat on the bleachers. We had been playing and engaging in mindless gossip when he left. He had not said where he was going to, but as soon as he’d left, his brothers had come to the bleachers. I had seen Katelyn on Aaron’s arm, they were talking and laughing, Katelyn voice ringing loudly as she either laughed or made some suggestive remark concerning Aaron. Maybe they were doing it to get back at Baron and I but I was hurt. Not really because of what Aaron and Katelyn were currently doing but the fact that they thought I was a criminal. I really missed them, a lot. I was going to clear my name, Baron had promised to help me. Refusing to look their way, I had focused on the wide field before me, waiting for Baron’s return.And when he had, it was with
BaronThose stupid brothers of mine, excluding Aaron of course. That one was a total idiot and a blatant fool. I had not been sure of this plan of mine from the onset but moving forward, I’m seeing how perfect it was for my plan. I know what I was doing was quite the selfish act, not for Aaron’s sake but for Katherina’s. But without her, my plan would not be successfully executed neither would it have the level of tension and emotion-provoking reactions it was currently having. No matter what, I was going to finish whatever I had started, I just hoped Katherina would forgive me after this.Nonetheless, the fact that she was my pawn in my own game didn’t mean I didn’t care about her. I do care about her, a lot. And it was somewhat surprising because I’d only known her for a short while. She was the typical shy, quiet and reserved nerd that was not just all those things people saw but she was more. She was sweet, kind, nice and had a very attractive face and body, though I doubt she’d
AaronI watched Baron carry her out of the place and I felt myriad of emotions overwhelm me. Anger, jealousy, guilt, regret, disappointment, confusion, to mention but a few. Ever since that incident that I’d decided not to interact with her, I’ve been angry and Irritable but with Baron and her around, I could not show it.I would not lie, it had been quite boring without her in our midst. But I was too angry to actually let myself dwell on anything remotely related to her. This was my brother's plan. He always seem to find a way to make us butt heads at every given opportunity. He was wild and unruly. He behaved more like a rogue than an actual Alpha’s son. I knew it had not been intentional, she had not hit Katelyn with the ball on purpose and it had not even been about defending Katelyn, far from it. I could not care less if she was hit a thousand times over, but I was already incensed by Baron’s behavior, calling Katherina his mate. Even thinking about it was making my blood boil,
I was just so tired and exhausted. I’d cried myself to weakness. As soon as I and Baron had come home, and the little episode with mom that just brought about more lies. According to Baron, we could not tell her the truth. He had left me in my room to go to his. As soon as he’d gone, I’d broke into heart wrenching tears and cried my eyes out. It had hurt. I’d wondered what I had done to Aaron. I know he thinks I was a thief but I felt so bad hearing him call me that to my face. Even though he had not directly called me a thief, he’d implied it with that question of his. That the phone was found in my bag, didn’t mean that I was the thief.But then again, what would prove me otherwise? There was no evidence to clear my name from this evidence that had smeared my name. I never believed a day would surface when Aaron would stand beside Katelyn in support against me. I had thought even his anger would have some limit when it came to me.But Baron was the only person who stood by me. He h
MELISSAEver since Katherina came into the house of Alpha David after our beloved Alpha had been yet again blessed by the Moon Goddess with a second mate — Katherina’s mother. When the news had reached our ears, I’d been one of the happy ones , and we were many that were happy for him.We had all anticipated the arrival of our new Luna and her daughter with bated breaths. No one knew what to expect from either of them, especially the Luna who would be the closest to the Alpha. The mother of the boys, the past Luna had been kind and wonderful. So we did not know what to expect from this new one.But one glimpse of her that night and I knew she was going to be as wonderful as the first had been, and kind too. When I’d seen the daughter, I had seen kindness too, but she literally had low self-esteem stationed around her neck, and I disliked it. I had been taught to never let anyone walk on me. Show respect, even a little fear to those who deserve it but still keep your spine. Katherina h
I walked through the doors of the school and I could literally feel the excited zing in the air. I could swear I even heard the happy howls of their wolves in their heads. Everyone was happy, they were ready for the Wolf It event. Everyone was eagerly anticipating. Everyone except me. I was walking now, Baron didn’t need to carry me. He’d been able to make his dad and my mom believe I was getting better, though he’d lifted me a little from the house and into the car.After that incident yesterday, I’d decided to avoid the boys more. I had decided not let them get to me anymore, though I knew it was not going to be an easy feat but I was willing to try.“You’ll be fine.” Baron whispered in my ear.I was far from fine. I felt like disappearing and reappearing after the Wolf It event was done and gone. My hands quivered in fear, I was literally shaking. The whole school was going to know, and they would have more reasons to laugh at me. They were going to have more reasons to mock and t
I had no idea what to expect, but I somehow knew things were not going to end well for me. I didn’t have a wolf. At least not one I wanted to let anyone see. I could not take that risk. It was sudden for me. It was something I had no intention of letting loose. “Are you okay?” Baron looked at me with concern written all over his face.I sighed and looked, calming myself. I didn’t want him to see how much this was affecting me. “You seem to be very frightened.” He said, holding my hand that was trembling slightly.That was one annoying thing about my body whenever I was full of nerves. My body seemed to work itself to an overdrive, I would not be able to control how it reacted to things like this.“I’m fine.” I replied, my voice intentionally low so he would not hear the shakiness in my tone. I looked up at him, trying to present a calm, composed exterior contradicting the messiness of within. If this failed, what would become of me? I would not only be accused and bullied of being
BARON“Good day, Beta.” I went to my father’s second in command.“Good day, Aaron or is it Baron?” I did not reply, I waited for him to figure it out by himself. He peered around me and stared intently, then he smiled a little. “Baron it is. Good day, Baron.”I turned to know how he’d found out and saw Aaron with Katelyn. Obviously. Everyone knew I hated that girl, the only person that would accept her was my twin brother, Aaron.Aaron and I were so identical that it sometimes gave father a tough time trying to figure out who did what crime, especially when we were little. I would cause a mischief and Aaron would be blamed for it, and vice versa. When my mother was alive, it had been fun watching my parents get frustrated over I and Aaron’s shenanigans.“Beta, I want to talk to you about something or rather, someone. ”My gaze went to Kathy, she was looking so alone and lost.I had no idea why she was this scared to show her wolf. It was as though she had something to hide, it was eit
“To family.” Nine glasses clinked in a cheerful mood as we gathered in the family living room.It was a week later, mom had forgiven me and now, my happy ending was perfect. Also, I had just found out I was pregnant. Aaron and I were yet to break the news to mom and dad, but we were elated about it. But we had decided to tell it today. Mom as usual was preparing lunch before Baron left, he was leaving today and though, I would want him to stay, he said he had decided to go start life elsewhere and if the Moon Goddess was kind, he would have a second mate.I also prayed the same for him. Baron seemed kind of lonely, and he had told me in confidentiality that he had actually came home out of the loneliness that he had channeled into anger and returned to gain his own pound of flesh.He had planned to take away Aaron’s mate and make him miserable too. I felt pity when he had told me, and I hoped that the Moon Goddess actually granted his wish. I had finally told him he was my first kiss
I could not believe all that my mom had told me, it made guilt eat at me more. It’s been three weeks now, everything was almost perfect. If my mom could forgive me, then everything would be perfect. Aaron and I were leading the most beautiful life. He was the perfect mate, he loved me countlessly and never ceased to tell me how much I meant to him. School had gone back to what I knew it to be — serious and focused. Lectures had begun as it was supposed to be without these constant dramas of Katelyn and her minions.Katelyn had been thoroughly dealt with by the boys. Dragged along major streets, almost at the point of death, pack members had booed her. They had even threw hard things at her. It was a surprise how she still did not die after everything that was done to her. She was brought out for three consecutive days and each day, the same fate of being whipped and dragged along major places in the pack awaited her.She begged and pleaded for mercy until she was too tired and weak t
LUNA ELIZABETHFrom the moment I’d stepped into the mansion, I’d known something was up. My gaze roamed the foyer but not a single soul in sight. Where had everyone gone to? I proceeded down the hall and into the general living room, there was no one.I stepped out and took a detour to the family living room, I frowned. Why was it dark? I found the light switch and flipped it on.“I was scared.” There stood my daughter, tears falling from her eyes. I took note of the colorful streamers and the cardboards where ‘I’m sorry, mom. Please, forgive me.’ Was written.Standing beside her was Aaron, her mate and his twin Baron. Flanking her other side was Trenton, Zach, Lucas, her maid Melissa and my mate, David. There were other guards and maids around the room but they were not clustered.I saw the long table of different delicacies, I could spot my favorites. Boxes wrapped in different colors and tied with gold ribbons stared back at me. My gaze went back to Katherina, the tears were endle
“What’s wrong?” He frowned at me.“Uhmm…I have never..” I was quite embarrassed. Most of my mates have had sex and here I was, still embarrassingly a virgin.“You’re a virgin?” Disbelief clouded his handsome features, though I could still see the heavy desires in his grey eyes.“Yes, can you do it?” I looked at him, hoping he would not get impatient and angry. My body already needed him, I could not let my body go unsatisfied.“Are you sure you want to do this now? I can wait. We both can wait.” There was a tenderness in his eyes and affection that dripped from his words that told me he was willing to wait till whenever I was ready.He was my mate which meant we were supposed to be together forever, and in as much as that was to happen, I realized we were both yet to accept the mate bond.“I’m your fated mate, correct?” I asked him.“Mmhm.” He nodded.“But do you accept me as your fated mate?” I looked into his face, expecting his reply.He stared into my eyes, and leaned closer to pla
I ran up my room to cry my heart out, mom would never forgive me from the look of things. When Aaron announced our mate bond, I had been surprised that he would say such.And mom had not even looked at me when he’d announced it, the best she had done was merely pass me a blank glance and tell him ‘that’s good’. My own mother would not even look at my face. I could not believe what was happening. It was all so strange to me, if my mother was behaving like this towards me then what hope do I have to ever repair our relationship.Tears streamed down my face until I was hiccupping, choking on my own tears. I could not stand it anymore, maybe it was better I went to see someone. Anyone. Aaron came to my mind. Sluggishly, I stood and went into the bathroom. I had no idea how long I had stayed in the tub but by the time I was out, the water was tepid. I drained the tub while my mind drifted to Melissa lying still unconscious on that bed, I would have to go see her with either of the boys.
KATELYN“I’ll kill her.” I cried.I would kill that Katherina of a bitch, she wanted to take what was mine and I would not allow it. I would rather have her killed than lose Aaron.I did not care what would happen to me. I loved Aaron and if I would not have him, no one else would. Why would I go through all these troubles just for me to be the sore loser in the end? That was very humiliating just thinking of it.After that bitch had transformed into a wolf I never knew she had, she had used the advantage of the enormity of her wolf to beat me up. As though humiliating me before the whole school was not enough for her.So what if I had called those boys to come to this pack? So what if I had invited them and asked them to rape her? So what if I had sent those texts? So what if I had sent boys to beat up that nosy maid from the mansion? I had done all of these and more just so Aaron would be mine alone. Why was mine not working? Others had done it and it had worked, why not mine? I kn

BARON“How dare you interfere in my business, Baron?” I could see the rage in her eyes.This girl was bloody stubborn and unrelenting, even when caught in her crimes, instead of her to apologize and be remorseful, she came here with a weapon to kill me. Kill me, in this condition, that was ludicrously laughable! But I did not smile as I stared at her. “I wonder what Aaron sees in you. You’re despicable and plain vile.” “Don’t you dare talk to me!” She warned, her voice trembling.“Or what? You’ll stab me to death?” I quirked an amused brow.“Yes, I will stab you, but not yet. Not until you hear the shocking truth.”“What shocking truth?” What was she driving at? Was this her way trying to get into my head? Whatever truth she might want to tell me, I already knew about it. In fact, everyone was now aware of it and who she was.When I had entered the school, I had done so without my vehicle, so as to not draw attention to myself. I had walked into the school and gone straight to see M
BARONI had come for revenge and I had gotten it, or maybe I thought I had. I already knew and had seen the connection between Aaron and Katherina, and that had been my revenge.But somewhere along the line, I had forgotten about the revenge and developed some feelings for Katherina. But I had no problem letting her go, she was not mine to keep, moreover, I was tired of everything.Whatever I had in mind to do, it would not be done. I had changed my mind, and just wanted to leave this pack. Go back where I had come from and continue my life there. I felt pain shoot through me when I remembered what had happened in the past.Whether it had happened intentionally or not, it did not change what had happened few years ago. Maybe he had done it out of jealousy or not, it was time to let it go.But first, before I left, I needed to check on Melissa and move her from the school’s hospital to the one in the pack. I had never seen Katherina as I had seen her today, she had proven she could be
