Kayla“You again?” I said to the handsome dude who met me counting my steps earlier. He wore a small smile again…one that made my stomach twirl for reasons I barely understood.“I’m sorry… I keep bumping into you”, he chuckled and placed his hands into his pocket, giving off a majestic aura that excited me just as much as it annoyed me.Claire had told me that he was someone I could trust. But then, I wasn’t ready to do that…“You don’t have to be ready to trust me before giving me a trial”, he said, and for a while, I thought that I was dreaming. Wait! Was he reading my thoughts?“Do you read minds too?” I asked as I clenched my fist in rage, as though I would be attacking if the answer comes out positive.He broke into a loud round of laughter, after which he shook his head negatively. “I don’t! Claire is the only one with such power in this entire academy. I only figured out what you might be thinking through your facial expression”, he explained, and I took in a deep breath, gre
Jason’s PovI had taken a step outside to search for Kayla and bring her into the meeting that concerned our secret when I saw her taking a walk with someone who I had no idea of. She had smiles on her face, and that triggered a sort of rage I never knew existed in my heart. With a face contorted in rage and the intention of hitting the person she was talking to, I walked over to her and grabbed her wrist.She was taken aback at first, and so was him. He looked at me fiercely, but his gaze turned softer when he realized that it was me.“You are coming with me, now!” I said and started leading her away, not minding if I was hurting her. She screamed and continued hitting my hands away from her wrist, but I didn’t budge. The guy watched us for a while and after a moment of watching the struggle between Kayla and I, he walked over to us and pulled her away from me.“I understand that she is your step-sister. But aren’t you doing too much?” He asked, peering into my eyes with deep dar
KaylaJames was only trying to teach me something I never knew I could do. He was friendly too and in merely some minutes after meeting him, I was already beginning to feel safe. I tried to make use of my powers like he asked…using just my mind and not my lips. However, my attempt to that failed because nothing happened. And then, Jason showed up…I have no idea of why Jason was beginning to frequently dive himself into my life, and I was beginning to feel exhausted. I knew that we shared a moment after he brought me out of the scene in the school hallway. That day, he had looked at me with the softest eyes I’ve ever seen, after which he promised that he would always be there to take care of me. But then, did I believe that? Of course not…Jason was more like a chameleon and the last person I was going to trust in the entire quad. He could appear so nice and sweet one day, but the next, he is the worst person you’ve ever met. I was tired of all his dramas and wanted to avoid it n
KaylaI made to head over to my room since I had a long day already, but I remembered Jason who was still stuck on the field. My heart beat went on the rise as I tried to figure out the best decision to go with. A part of my heart suggested that I leave him there all through the night. But then, I knew that I might never heal from that type of guilt.“We should go help him out”, my wolf whispered, and I took in a deep breath. Slowly, I made my way over to the field where I left Jason some hours ago. I stood some distance away and observed him…hoping that he wouldn’t figure out that I did that to him. “I command you to get back on your feet”, I said in my mind, with my attention fixed on him. I was glad that I could make use of my powers without uttering any words to anyone hearing. That would keep me safer and make it easier for me to use it. Jason dropped to the ground with a thud and let out a scream. I rushed over to him immediately, with worry written all over my face.“Are y
Ethan“Shit!” I cursed the minute I realized that someone had just seen us. Kayla ran off towards the area the person had gone but she returned almost immediately with a big scowl on her face. “He is nowhere in sight”, she dropped, digging her hands into her head in frustration.I gulped down hard and tried to persuade her to think less of what had just happened. I told her that it wasn’t something serious, but I knew it was. “Someone just saw us and you expect me to remain calm? What if the person tells everyone that I have something to do with my step brother? Do you know how scandalous that would be?” She yelled out of her lungs after which she walked away, not sparing me another glance. I gulped down hard and dejectedly walked back to the room to meet the others. I just didn’t understand why trouble seemed to be unending in our lives. I was complaining that someone stole a book I picked up in the library, and now, someone caught me sharing a kiss with my step sister? This was
KaylaI walked into my room and met Ashley and Bianca talking to each other with a hushed voice. My heart skipped as I tried to think of what they were currently talking about. They kept mute the minute they saw me and that sealed the fact that they were talking about me.“Were you both talking about me?” I asked with a fierce stare, glaring at them and trying to be bold.Ashley was the first to look up. She rolled her eyes at me and folded her hands to her chest.“Do you think that you are worth our conversation?” She asked and looked at Bianca and together, they broke into a very loud round of laughter.I gulped down hard and clenched my fist in rage. I was already having a very bad day and the last thing I wanted was allowing the two of them get on my nerves. I had a lot of things to think about. I had to think about James and how he was currently doing and then, Ethan’s book that got stolen. And the worst, the kiss we shared that was seen by someone.At this, I kept mute and coi
Ethan’s PovNone of us felt good. For the first time in a long time, the quad felt sick and extremely bothered. Our health was okay, but the worry that clouded our heart was enough to let us know that we didn’t feel good.“Are you trying to say that you kissed Kayla and someone saw the both of you?” Jake asked for the hundredth time after I divulged the news to them. Jason sat up at that point and glared at me. He was still in his moody and grumpy mood but I could tell that whatever it was that happened with me was the most important to all of us. “How could you be that careless? This is an academy for crying out loud!” Jason screamed out of his lungs, almost startling us with his outburst. I took in deep breath and lowered my eyes to the ground. I was out of what to think or say. My head was so clouded that it almost felt as if it would burst. “The book at the library…now someone seeing me with her”, I said.“And then someone using his power on me”, Jason added, with a small frow
JasonI was still in a bad mood after what transpired between Kayla and I. It made me feel betrayed even if I didn’t know why. She chose to help a stranger and ditched me instead. My entire body was on fire and somehow, I didn’t feel so good. Not only that, the hate I had for that dude who was with her triggered and I couldn’t wait to punish him for using his powers on me. Ethan and others has suggested that the power might have come from someone else around since many people at the academy had one special ability or the other. The next morning was almost normal apart from the fact that Ashley and Bianca decided to pay us a visit. I wore a small scowl on my face because lately, I was beginning to lose interest in Ashley. I guess it was ever since I learnt that Kayla was my mate. The looks on their faces suggested that something was up and for the first time since I knew the both of them, I was anxious. “What are they up to?” I quietly asked myself as I watched Ethan who was cur
