Author's POVRyan gritted his teeth as he watched the morning news, his blood boiled at every word coming out of the reporters lips. Switching off the television, he burned holes into Tom with his blazing eyes. Glaring hard at the man who looked pale like he would pass out in a second. "You useless thing!" He growled throwing the cup of coffee he had on the table at him. Tom stared in horror, his breaths coming out in pants. He didn't see the glass coming at him, touching his forehead there was a deep gash on it. Fear gripped his entire body, knowing Ryan well. Tom knows he wouldn't mind breaking his head into a surmountable pieces. Pulling at his hair hard, Ryan almost yanked it off the scalp in anger. All of his well planned movement was flopped and he couldn't seem to understand it. Considering how much heist they have carried out successfully. "How did this happen?" He mumbled under his breath. "I have no idea, boss." Tom muttered in a shaky breath. "We were doing it all acco
Author's POV"Do you think he knows?" Patrick asked his mother as they sat in a cafe opposite the hospital. Carla had driven Patrick to the hospital for a check up.Carla stared the smoothie she had ordered, looking disinterested in the content. "Your father knows nothing, he is only playing detective."Patrick looked confused, "what do you mean by playing detective?" "The first time he hit you over the firewall breakage, he was only just trying to see what your reaction might be. Ryan likes to believe he is a smart psychologist, but he keeps forgetting that not everyone will fall for his trick." She explained"Are you saying, he was only trying to be sure we know nothing about it?" Carla laughed lightly, "I have lived with your father for thirty years of my life, Patrick. You think I wouldn't know him enough?" "How long has he been abusing you?" She fell quiet, her eyes darting around the enclosed cafe. "Only happens when he is angry." Anger seeped through Patrick's pores, balli
Collin's POVVictory appears really nice and makes one feel at the top of the world, but maybe that might be the case for Ariel and Seth. But it's a different case entirely on my part. I just have a feeling it would become tougher than expected. I have been trying to reach Patrick all morning and he hasn't been picking. It worries me that something might be wrong with him. What if his father has gotten to know about his involvement. All through the night while we waited to be sure the police had followed up on our anonymous call. I couldn't sleep a wink through the night, my heart was practically in my mouth. I didn't breath well until I saw the news. "Hey." Ariel called behind me, tapping my shoulder. I looked up at her smiling, my eyes scanning the space. "How are you, Ariel?" "I feel really good. Isn't it obvious?" She grinned."I can see that and I am glad you feel that way." She sighed, pulling a chair to seat next to me. "You don't look like it."I chuckled dryly, "I am ok
Alessia's POVI hate being on breaks away from school, spending time in the midst of my family stresses me a whole lot. You only get to spend time off on a weekend when you are out with a family member or your betrothed. In actual truth, I am not a fan of my own family life. After pleading with Allen to take me out of the house, he finally agreed after a five dollar bribe. I despise how much Allen loves money. I would love to wring his neck. But, today I have decided being violent won't help. I had run a quick call at Collin, we talked for a while. Judging by the way he sounded, he isn't really keen on stepping out of his house. Also, I intend to be more cautious of my movement with him. To avoid getting seen in a cozy moment. Patrick still hasn't told me about any plan that he might be working towards as regards the awful union our families are trying so hard to make on our behalf. I should really make a run for it, but there is no way I am leaving Collin here all alone without me.
Collin's POVMy day was made the moment I set my eyes on Alessia. My weekend was fine spending it with my family, but the feeling is different getting to spend time with your lover. And it's a really good day today, Ariel is back in school. It's amusing seeing Patrick grin from ear to ear, his happiness was unmatched. Ariel looked more relaxed to and it gladdened my heart to see her happy. Things seem to be back to their normal state. Patrick's father hasn't gone on another robbery spree for now, even though we are on alert as to what they might be up to. For now, I guess it's not just me who desires a break from the mental torment. It's the closing hour and we are all gathered at our usual chilling spot discussing randomly. Each person with their own partner. I am amused though, even Tephanie seems extremely comfortable in Seth's arms. I haven't had a chance to see my brother look so delighted before. I am glad he found happiness in Tephanie. Our final exams were getting close and
Collin's POVI excused myself immediately our friends left. I practically ran beyond my usual capacity to get to the woods near the school before it becomes very late. I could vividly remember the herbs, because Charlie was always generous enough to take me along with him on such tours. It was more like a bonding moment between us. Tuning my wolf eyes, I sniffed the woods carefully. I tried to act as normal as possible knowing any human can be found lingering around. Luckily, I found the exact herbs I was looking for. After plucking them, I felt some strange movement. Looking back I didn't see anything or anyone. Hastening my pace, I ran to get out of the woods on time before I get forced to unleash the beastly side of me. I almost yelled out in horror when I saw a girl with her hair looking like spikes covering her face with a torn jean and bleeding feet stand in front of me. I was beginning to think the zombies were out until she raised her head. "Tephanie?" I called out in shock
Collin's POVIt took me almost half an hour to convince Tephanie to come home with me. Despite telling her that I needed to show her something really important. She does have strong trust issues and I don't know if I should feel offended about it. When she finally agreed, I could almost bet my herbs were withering away in my pocket. Everyone was surprised to find a homeless looking Tephanie next to me. Waving a dismissive hand at them, I headed straight to the kitchen to process the herb. There is no way Tephanie's reveal is happening without Ester present. "Why the hell does my girlfriend look so battered when she only left here about three hours ago?" A raging Seth came at me in the kitchen. With my back turned, I shook my head turning on the gas. "I know you can hear me clearly, Collin." I turned to look at him with a straight face, "why are you coming at me? Did you ask her?" "She isn't saying anything. What did you do to her?" He had an accusing glare on his face. I gasped i
Author's POVTephanie stared in disbelief at the twelve pair of eyes staring at her. She would never have thought that breeds like hers would exist in this lifetime. It had been a hard pill to swallow for her, when she found out she wasn't human. It was harder when none of her family members appears to be different. She had been scared Collin might have an intention to harm her, however the wolf within her somehow trusted him in a way she couldn't explain. Finding herself in the midst of the family she had thought were only humans had her head spinning. "What is going on here, Collin?" Charlie rebuked, looking displeased. He wasn't expecting his son to act so unreasonable and exposing them all to a stranger. Even though she might be Seth's mate. Ester waved a hand at him, "you know he wouldn't do anything without reason." Seth made his way towards Tephanie, holding up her hands. "talk to me baby, are you a werewolf?" Tephanie cried, sniffing. "yes, I am." "How, how is that possi
