“What the heck, Bri? It was you?” I frowned. “I-I don’t know what you’re talking about.” She stuttered, her hands shaking as she quickly yanked the jacket from me, throwing it over her body again. “Oh, cut the crap. You definitely know what I mean!” I snapped and her body started to move in more obvious trembles.“I don’t–”“Girls,” our professor called, stealing the attention as we both watched him, his bag hung up to his shoulder. “It’s time to leave. I’ve gotta lock the classroom.” He stated, flashing a smile at us, one that went against the atmosphere around us. “Okay, sir.” she said and started sprinting out. I grabbed my back and hung it over my shoulder, scuttling to catch up with her. Once I stepped out, I called, “Bri!” but she pretended to not hear me and ran faster than I had ever seen her move, bumping into people on her way. Our professor walked out, flashing a smile at me as he walked past me.Forcing a smile at him, I watched Bri again and she had disappeared from m
I watched a frown form on Brian's face as he squeezed the bag of his meal. He cast a deep, chill-inducing glare at Roger, then stormed off. My attention snapped back to the people around me and I only realized the crowd was cheering for Roger, encouraging me to say yes. "Have you lost your mind?" I spat. "Lyric, be calm." He said, smiling. "How dare you do something so absurd?" Suddenly, my memory flashed back to six years ago and the memory of him on one knee, proposing to Emily sent a dagger through my chest. 'This is a perfect opportunity for revenge!' Maya pointed out, awakening a new sensation in me. From the look in his eyes, I could tell that this was all a drama to embarass me. But I wasn't letting that happen. "Oh, Roger." I called in a soft tone, watching his eyebrows furrowed in confusion for a quick second till he feigned his smile again. "This is such a nice proposal, in my university student union and all." Shaking my head, I took the ring and wiggled it around,
"Intimate embrace?" I chortled, taking the phone from him to look at the picture again, and the more I observed, 'intimate' began to seem like an understatement. My arms were around Blade’s neck while his were tightly wrapped around my waist, every part of my female anatomy was tightly glued to him. One of his hands had gone below, making it seem like he was tightly cupping my buttcheek. The angle was captured perfectly to give a meaning that was otherwise from reality. My eyes widened as I stared at the picture on Brian's screen. "No, no, you have to understand that it is a misunderstanding." "Misunderstanding, uh? Then why didn't you tell me about it?" The frigid look in his eyes sent a shiver down my spine, forcing me to stand from his leg. "Brian," I called. "I promise you it's not how the media is portraying it. After Roger made me lose my job, that guy stood up for me from my boss' embarrassment and he offered comfort because I felt like all hope was lost. I was too overwhel
I scoffed, glaring at her from head to toe. I couldn’t help but admit that she looked very stunning in her curve-hugging purple dress and heels. It made a pang occur in my heart and I scoffed agin. “You must be joking”“Bout what?” she smirked. “That I’m here to claim what's mine? Why would I joke about such a thing?”“I’m going to ask you to leave.” I stood in akimbo. She laughed. “What gives you the right? You don’t own this place.” “I’m Brian’s girlfriend, so I have every right to ask you to leave this place.” I insisted, stepping closer to her. She threw her head back in laughter. “Useless pups really do have a lot of guts these days.” That sent a spark in my brain and I could feel my eyes twitching. She had just added fuel to the fire of my rage towards Brian. MAya let out a howl in my head as I grabbed a handful of her hair. “What did you just say?” I asked in a growl, my fissts clenching beside me. “Let go!” She said through gritted teeth and grabbed my arm, her face cont
"Wh-what?" I let out a breathy laugh, my heart rate escalating. "What are you talking about?" "How long did you think you were going to hide it from me?" She stepped closer and I started stepping backwards. "H-How did yo-you find out?" I stammered. "Did Tone tell you?“Why wouldn't he? He’s my boyfriend. He doesn't keep secrets from me." She stopped when I did. “I–I… I don't know why he… that bastard!” I cussed. “Why would he just tell you like that?” a frown formed on my face as I prepared myself to choke the life out of Tone, “Wh-what are you going to do now? I mean…”“I’m going to report it. It's clearly not safe to have wolves roaming freely around our campus. She added. “What?” I exclaimed. “That’s ridiculous. We just don’t change anyhow."“I don’t care. I’m going to write a research paper on it, publish it to everyone and expose all of you monsters!” she hollered.“Raina, wait, sit down, calm down, let me explain things to you." It felt like I could no longer breathe proper
Another thud against the door made my heart beat spike up. "Raina!" I screamed, "don't come in!" Wait, what the hell? In my wolf form, I could still speak like my human self. "Are you okay?" She knocked again. "What was that noise? Wh-what's going on? " She asked, breathless from fear. "Uh… I'm fine… it's fine!" I glanced around, waving my paw in front of me. I shut my eyes and tried to force myself to shift again but it felt like I hit a hard wall, so I screamed again. "Lyric! Come out!" She hit the door. "You don't sound okay, what's wrong?" "I'm good." I replied, trying to reduce my panting so my noises didn't contradict my statement. A knock sounded from the dorm door. "Who the heck is it?" She hissed and I heard her footsteps leave. My phone? Glancing around, I found the phone on the bathroom rug and rushed over to it. "Voice assistant, call Brian." I whispered to it. "Calling Brian," she said then the call beeped for a few seconds till she said, "no response." I his
I screamed and jumped over her to quickly lock the main door. "I just added to the problem. Shoot!" Why did I have to blurt things out?Whimpering, I fell to the ground, watching a passed out Bri equally sprawled in front of me. "What do I do now? I don't know who to call." All my thoughts led back to the one person that had the most solutions to my problems. Sighing in defeat, I walked back to my phone and made my voice assistant make the call. The voice assistant made a video call against my command, but the call was answered before I could change it. “Look who finally decided to call again.” Her voice instantly made me roll my eyes. “What’s with the attitude and the wolf shift? Why call me if you want to be sassy?”“Mom, I’m not here to argue.” I started, the sass in my tone refusing to hide itself. Her eyes widened. “You just spoke as yourself in your wolf form? Am I hearing things?” “You’re not. I just switched against my will in my bathroom and the—” Bri shifted, shifting m
“What do we do with Bri?” Brian asked.“I don't know.” I said, watching Bri who was tied up to the chair, her head falling backwards. Anyone would’ve assumed she was dead, if she wasn't letting out generator-like snores. “Tap her to try and wake her up.” Brian said to one of the hefty men who I now identified as guards from his pack.He nodded then walked over and tapped Bri’s shoulder. When she didn’t respond, he tapped her again. This time, her face scrunched up and she squirmed in her seat, shifting and groaning till she opened her eyes.“Uh… Anna, leave me alone!” She said, fluttering her lashes sleepy, then they widened as she took in the view of where she was. “Where am I?”“A basement at one of my stores.” Brian said. “Help!” She began to scream again.“There’s no use.No one will hear you from here.” I explained and sighed, walking up to her. “Bri, please I need you to comply with me.”“Why wouldI? My Dad would kill me if he found out that I knew about a professor-student re
~ BRIAN ~ What a crazy being… I scoffed. "What does she mean by making her Luna? Who knows what she has planned?" I complained. "I don't know why Mom went behind my back to make plans with them. She should've known it'll only cause trouble." "To be honest, I don't think your Mom would consider this trouble. She'd be in full support of the idea." Jordan pointed out. "Of course!" "So… are you considering doing it? Taking up her offer?" Jordan asked. "No, man. Are you crazy? Why'd I betray Lyric like that?" I shot him a death stare. "Oh, absolutely. Of course not. You're not going to betray Lyric like that." He cleared his throat. A moment of silence filled the place till he spoke again. "What then are you going to do, Alpha?" "I don't know yet." I sighed. "I mean, we really need a lot more warriors, if I'm being honest, and their pack is very large." He shrugged. "What are you suggesting? That I take up the offer of letting a psycho be my Luna and just cast Lyric to the side?
~ BRIAN ~ For some reason, Lyric had been extremely worried about this war. Of course, she had to be worried, but it felt like she was worrying way too much. As though there was something she knew that she wasn't telling me. "Here's the file for the warriors." Jordan pulled me out of my train of thoughts, dumping a textbooklike file in front of me. "Oh, okay, thank you." I said and opened the first page, reading through the profile and strength of the Warriors. As I read through them, an awkward tightness clouded my heart. They were all great warriors, absolutely, but while we had quality, the enemy had quantity. For each soldier, they had about twenty more. I couldn't bring myself to utter this fear because as the Alpha, I ought to be strong, bold, and courageous, to be the source of hope for my pack. If I was afraid, the entire pack would be equally fearful and we didn't need that right now. "This is great, thank you." I smiled at Jordan, closing the file. "What next?" "Well,
"This is beautiful." I commented at the condo, pushing the door to the bathroom open, revealing the gold themed bathroom. "Sorry it's small." He apologized, grabbing my purse from me. "I couldn't find any other one in town, and due to the war, I couldn't travel out of town." Was it small, yeah? Did I care? No. "It's all good. This is perfect. Plus, I'm spending time with you, and that's what matters." I wrapped an arm around his neck. He placed my purse on a stool, wrapping an arm around me. He grabbed my thigh and with one jump, I had my legs around his waist. "I missed you so much!" I pointed out. "I missed you too. More than you can imagine. It felt like I couldn't breathe without you." He said and pecked my lips, sending tingles down my body. I reconnected our lips, and this time, for a passionate kiss. My body jolted in excitement, realizing that it hadn't tasted this much tingles in a long time. He slid his tongue into my mouth, fighting for dominance which I happily ga
~ LYRIC ~ 'BABE, WHERE ARE YOU?' I mind liked Brian. I had been in the pack for a week but hadn't seen him enough to spend quality time with him. 'Hey, sorry, I've been really busy. I'm currently at the dining table. Please join me for lunch.' He mind linked me back. Finally!Jumping off my bed, I sprinted out of the room, heading downstairs. A grin stained my face at the thought of seeing and giving with Brian again.There he was, sitting majestically at the head of the table. Multiple dishes of various origin, texture, and shape were served across the table. "Wow, you look gorgeous, baby." He commented, taking a quick scan of me. "Of course, I do." I joked, grinning from ear to ear and walked to meet him, pulling him into a hug. "Dude, I've missed you so much. It's like you went extinct." "That's not a possibility, mi lady." He grinned, wrapping his arm around me and planting a kiss on my belly. "I'm sorry. I got way too busy to handle." He planted another kiss on my side, m
~ TONE ~“Hey, bro.” Lyric called, sheepishly walking into the balcony with a shy wave. I rolled my eyes at her.”What do you want?”“I just wanted to apologize for the weird encounter with Brian’s Mom. I’m sorry on her behalf.” She leaned against the rail, watching my eyes intensely like she was trying to read what was on my mind. “It’s fine.” I Sighed.“You sure.”“Yup.”“Wow, dude you have grown a lot. The old Tone would be so mad someone ridiculed him and would have set the entire place on fire.” She said and I glared,, causing her to laugh, I had no other option than to join in as well. “I mean, you’re not lying, I've definitely grown. I was so mad when she spoke about us like that, but I was more concerned about you.”“Me?” she raised her brow.“Yes. You know… I worry about you a lot.” She let out a dramatic gasp, slapping her mouth with her palms. “You? You care about me?”“Shut up, you know I do.I’m not kidding. Are you sure you’ll be fine in a marriage where your mother in
“Why are they all here?” Brian asked, specifically referring to Celine and Anna. “They are here to help with the war. We are working with them, and it’s a signed agreement.“I never agreed to such a thing.” Brain frowned. “Why would you–”“We’ll discuss it in private? You have to agree based on certain situations. “Welcome to the get together.” She smiled at Celine and Anna. “Why are they at a family get together?” I didn’t realize I voiced my thoughts.“For someone who is undeserving of being here, you’re asking a lot of questions.” Myla scoffed. “Mom!” Brian and Kelly scolded. “Wait, are you referring to my daughter like that?” Mom said, raising a ‘you have to be kidding me’ glare at Myla.“Of course, I’m referring to that thing. Neither it nor y’all deserve to be here.” She stated sternly.“It? Are you crazy?!” Mom took a step closer to her but I held her back. Myla’s face flushed, rumpling up. “Don’t forget you’re speaking to the Alpha’s mother. Watch how you speak to me.” Sh
"Emily?" I repeated, sweat beads beginning to firm on my forehead. "Wh-what are you doing?" "I said keep quiet or I'll blow your head off." She grunted, pressing the gun harder. "Okay, okay!" My arms went up instinctively, my chest rising and falling faster than normal. "What do you want?" "For you to leave Roger the hell alone!" She said through gritted teeth. My brows furrowed. "But I already did. We spoke and he was willing to let go, or so it seemed. Was he not?""He was.""So what happened?""Our relationship is over, and it's all because of you!" She spat. "I'm… I'm sorry.""How could you?" She raised her voice. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean for him to break up with you. I only spoke to him and he seemed willing to change. I don't know why he broke up with you.""I never said he did." She said and I casted a confused eyebrow raised glance at her. "I broke up with him."How is it my fault then? "It's not. I'm just kidding." She chuckled, taking the gun off my head and shoving
~ LYRIC ~ THE TIME HAS COME!!! It was finally time to see Brian again. I Know, dramatic much, bit it was Brian. The last few days were like torture. Not being able to hold him burned my body with grief. Mom stared at me with the sidest side eye ever. "What's with you? You're smiling so hard. You could rip your face in two." I laughed and plopped myself beside her. "I'm going to see my husband!" I squealed. "Yay, good for you. See you'd darling husband and forget your lother in this shabby Holland." She said sarcastically. "I won't. About that…" I sat up straight, holding her hands. "Will you move to Brian's pack with me? When her eyebrows furrowed, I quickly added my Epistle. "I know it's hard and you really love it here. I know it will feel awkward to start a new life with a new pack and try to build new connections, but I promise it'll be worth it. Plus, I'll be Luna of the pack. Being a rogue is great, and I know, but please, let's dive into this experience. Your past expe
~ RAINA ~ My hands were tied to a chair in the middle of what looked like a basement. I tried to rip the ropes with the force of my tug, but to no avail. The door opened and Blade strutted in, typing away on his phone. "Dude, are you crazy?" I spat, reading his attention from his phone. "What do you think this is? A movie. How dare you abduct me and tie me like this?" "Why not? You insisted on following me around and kept blabbering about age old secrets. What did you expect? We laugh it off and move on? It doesn't work that way! You'll be here till I find out what to do with you." His voice was so cold like winter in the south. It made me shiver. I had never heard him speak this sternly before. "We-well, you better let me go. My Dad is very rich and influential. If he finds out I'm missing, he'll stop at nothing to find me and you'll be in big trouble." He just stared at me like I was a gullible child, and said nothing. I had to switch my methods. "Okay, please. I'm begging y
