MasonThe look on her face killed me. I wanted to scream aloud and tell her that we still cared about her but was doing such to keep us all safe. But then, I couldn’t…She kept staring at me and Jake, hoping that we would laugh aloud and say that we were only trying to pull her legs. When she saw that it was nothing like a joke, she walked away…I caught sight of tears in her eyes and for the first time in a long time, I felt the pang of guilt in the depth of my chest. It felt I hurt myself by what just happened. The minute she left, I turned to Jake and for the next couple of seconds, we remained quiet. I could tell that he was totally uncomfortable too…“We can’t keep doing this. It would hurt her”, I said as I stood up and started pacing around the room. He took in a deep breath after which he nodded in affirmation. He was deeply worried and hurt too.“We have no other option here. Bianca and Ashley warned us to avoid telling her or else they would reveal our secret to everyone.
KaylaMy heart was burning with rage as I walked into the hall listen to the announcement they had for us. Getting sent away by Jake and Mason was the last thing I ever expected because I couldn’t think or imagine what I might have done to trigger their rage. Just as it was announced that the upcoming party was important, I shifted my gaze to the quad and my heart dropped. They seemed to be bonding more with Ashley and Bianca and it was so hard to watch. Staring at them and observing how they shared a moment tore deep into my heart that I almost broke into tears right there in the middle of everyone present. But then, I blinked off my tears almost immediately, reminding myself that they weren’t worth any of it. Just then, my eyes locked with that of Jake and for a minute, the world seemed to be on a standstill. We were searching through each others heart, as though it would be possible for us to take a peek and know what the other has in mind. He had a very unsettling look on h
KaylaI shrugged as I drifted off in thoughts. From the depth of my soul, I could tell that the party was the last thing I wanted in my life at the moment. I wanted to go meet that seer who they said lived in the deepest part of the forest.“James. I really want to go meet that seer”, I finally opened up, watching how he opened his eyes in shock, obviously thinking that I was only trying to pull his legs. When he realized that I meant everything that I’ve just said, he wiped sweats off his forehead and looked at me intently.“Are you being serious now?”I took a pause to ponder on his question and after some minutes, I nodded in affirmation.“It would surprise you. But then, my mother was at this academy too”, I said to James whose eyes widened in shock.He looked at me intently after which he held my hands and started leading me away from the hall. I could see how interested he was in the situation and that made me so excited. All I wanted was someone who would get invested in the
KaylaI walked back into my room much later that night, feeling like a heavy weight laid on my chest. I wanted to cry so hard, but that didn’t seem to be happening. I just felt weak and exhausted. Nothing seemed to be making sense to me and it was clear that the entire world was against me. My mates were against me. They didn’t want to catch sight of me close to them. And then, I discovered that my mother was at the academy too…Now, the quest I made to go on was looking a lot more dangerous than I had thought and this was very difficult to push aside.Ashley and Bianca walked into the room much later, laughing aloud like people who just won millions of dollars. I remained still and quiet on the bed. The last thing I wanted was causing them to look at me because I had no energy for a banter.Ashely was the first to look towards my direction with a small smile on her face. She walked over to me and I could sense trouble in the air.“It seems like Kayla is having a very bad day. Tell
JasonI tossed on my bed for the hundredth time, unable to sleep or even, close my eyes. Each time i closed my eyes, I saw images of Kayla and how she looked at me with an expression that suggested how much of a betrayer I was.A deep hiss escaped my lips as I dug my hands into my head and jumped out of the bed. I grabbed my coat and decided to go take a walk since I couldn’t get thoughts of her out of my head. It was so stupid to think that I had told her how I would watch over her. That day at the school hall way, I had held her hands firmly and promised to look after her because she was my responsibility. But then, it was now looking as if I never said something like that because we now treated her like a stranger. What kind of a mate was I? Another sigh escaped my lips as I strolled over to the garden and sat down on one of the chairs that were littered around. The moon was out and very bright. It was quiet and serene and for the very first time since I came to the academy, I
Ethan.I woke up with a headache for a start, and then, the great need to complete the quest I had here at the academy. Ever since Bianca and Ashley got a wind of what was going on, there was a pause in my quest. I didn’t feel the energy to proceed with the research since I was scared of being discovered by someone else. I knew that this was a very suspicious topic and anyone who realizes that I’m reading about getting mated to four people would easily conclude that it applies to me. At this, I took a pause after Ashley and Bianca discovered.But then, how long was I going to remain quiet and stop my research? I wanted to know what it was all about and understand the mystery behind getting mated to four people as well as what it entails.At this, I made my way back to the library, ready to continue my quest until I lay my hands on what I want. I thought of Kayla just as I made my way to the library and my heart dropped. It was all my fault that we got caught that night at the fi
Kayla.“I see that someone got a dress”, I heard the voice of Bianca and even if I was still deep in slumber, I detested that voice. I slept quite late last night since I was awake and lost in thoughts of what next I wanted to do in life. I had different thoughts swirling around my head and it wasn’t surprising that I slept after midnight.Even in my sleep, I knew that it was the day of the long awaited party. I wasn’t so moved like other students who wouldn’t stop talking about it. My heart seemed like a puzzle at the moment and all I wanted was some help with figuring things out. The last thing I wanted to think about was a party that would have little to no benefit to me. But then, every other students wouldn’t stop talking about. And so, early that morning, I wasn’t quite puzzled when it dawned on me that Bianca and Ashley were already awake and getting ready for the day. “It came for Kayla! Who would have sent her such a thing”, I heard Ashley’s voice and this time, it dawned
JasonI glanced at my wrist watch almost every second. I couldn’t tell why Kayla was yet to make her appearance.After my meeting with James two nights ago, I had gone back to my room to ponder over what he had said. He was not wrong to say that Kayla needed us at this point of her life because I felt it in my soul. From the way she looked, it was quite clear that she was going through a rough phase of life but I was in a tight spot as well. There was nothing much I could do since I was also trying to keep us all safe and free from the trouble that would arise if our secret get out of the bag. “She would need a dress for the party”, my wolf had whispered to me and for a minute, I wanted to shove it aside. The last time I got her dress was chaotic and I wasn’t certain that I wanted to go down that part again. “It doesn’t hurt to do her good. This is the only way to help out since you all decided to snub her”, my wolf went further, obviously displeased by how we all kept our distan
