Ethan It’s been days after the incident of the ball party. It was quite strange that we heard nothing from our father. He didn’t even punish us like we thought he would. I couldn’t help but wonder what he was up to at the moment…"Your highness, the Alpha King seeks your presence at the council room," a voice that was almost drowned by my groans sounded from behind. I'd been on the training ground trying to flex some muscles, all was well until the guard came with the message.My jaw unhinged. I sheath my sword before slipping into my black crocs skin leather jacket. My father rarely summons us to the council room unless it is very important.Beads of sweat formed on my forehead. I just needed a cold bath, and spend the rest of the night doing something more fun than training with Bianca. The mere thought of it caused blood to flow through my groin. I feared it'd burst open through the zipper.The guard cleared his throat, his head was slightly lowered. He knew better than looking m
KAYLAThere are words that brought a significant change to one's life, for me today was that day. The day when the words that would turn things around were said.I'd seen it coming, what I wasn't expecting was it'd be so soon. When the Alpha summoned us to the council room, I knew it was important… what I didn't know was that it'll be nerve wracking.Was this his punishment for what happened during the part? That includes Kayla.The words held defiance, hatred and less than a pint of empathy. From the way he stared, if he had his way I'd be miles away from the academy, he loathed me and didn't hide it. For once I wished the hatred had transcended to excusing me from meetings.I saw the way he stared down on me. His gaze burning a deep hole in my flesh, I wished a look of disdain could kill, I'd rather die from the impact of his stare than going to the academy with the quadruplets.He sought answers from the seer, but was he ready to face the consequences of knowing the answers. The q
JAKEI'd just finished folding the last pair of jackets and stuffing them inside my backpack. The sun shone brightly casting a fierce illuminance across the room. Today, the long awaited day was here– the day we tread the path of our destiny that'd distinguish the one with the special power the scrawny seer had mentioned.Even if I was indifferent about going, the thrill that came with knowing who the special person was, was a driving force to pique my interest. I set my luggage on the floor, pulled out the handle and rolled it on the floor to Jason's room.He was pacing around his room, his fist clenched so tight, his knuckles were near snow white. "Hey man what's up with you?" I plopped onto his bed, my eyes fixed on him."Jason," I called again, this time my voice was firmer."Sometimes, I feel father is nurturing a kinda fear he doesn't want to speak about," he said, still pacing around, his fist still clenched.I shook my head, "What are you talking about?""Why is she coming alo
KaylaHe was the calmest, Heck! The one out of the quadruplets who made living in this hell a tad bit easier. That was all I needed in this charade I called life.I let the butterfly I'd cage over these days freely swoon around as his lips fiercely grazed mine. I closed my eyes so the mental image of what we were sharing would be embedded in my memory for as long as long itself entailed.The kiss was like a solace that would lead me through whatever I was going to face at the academy. I wanted more, the insatiable urge to claim every inch of his body consumed me so much that I didn't hear the knock on the door the first time…till whomever stood behind knocked again, snapping me off from my moment of bliss.I straightened up adjusting my blouse that exposed a better part of my breast. My heartbeat doubled as I took cautious steps to the door, relief washed through me when I saw Bella standing in front of my room.She was slightly angry from having to stand outside knocking repeatedly.
JASONKayla walked towards us mumbled something that could pass for a greeting. Whilst my brother didn't make a big deal out of it, my stomach twisted at it.Everything about her seemed to put me off…only if I had my way. She had no business going to the werewolf academy. They knew it, so why did they decide to overlook it? We got into the limousine and drove out of the pack to where we'd spend our lives for the next two months.She sat at the extreme end beside Jake who seemed more than pleased to have her hands slightly grazing his knees. I gritted my teeth and something uneasy settled at the pit of my stomach."What do you think the academy would look like?" Ethan's question pierced through the curtain of silence that wrapped around us.Mason cast him a knowing look, tilted his head forward and pulled out a bottle of champagne. "I don't know what to expect from the academy," he half-filled his glass and brought it to his lips, "But I have a feeling this would be the beginning of a
KAYLAI woke up to a persistent knock on my door. I murmured under my breath as I buried my face into the silk pillow. The alarm was shy of six. It was only six in the morning and…"Kayla open the door right now," a firm voice sounded from behind the door. I'd barely started my day, as soon as I got into my room I took my bath and dropped on the bed like a log of wood.My eyes were still bleary with sleep, I almost laughed at myself. Back at the pack, I was already up and doing but just a night here and it's like all my strength and ability has been sapped out of my body…how pitiful.I opened the door and met a pair of glaring blue eyes. "You're still in your sleep wear," the aide from yesterday said, his look was questioning but I ignored.I shook my head, "I'm sorry I had a late night. I'd just go right over to the shower get dressed and–"He cut in, "Meet me at the porch in front of the academy, Miss Kayla," he grunted.I sighed and rubbed the back of my head,"I will," I closed the
JASONShe must have seen it. Or maybe not, there was no way someone else could have gotten a hold of it. Not like I would know if any of my brothers had laid hands in it, I'd have known. They wouldn't keep it for so long.I decided to take a long walk to get things off my mind. Since we got here, it's been from one lesson to another, different training– weird ones I wasn't used to but I guess something would grow on us with time.My eyes caught the sight of a parcel in the least place I expected to find it. I walked closer to a trash can at the corner of a wall. My jaw tightened in anger, my face turned to mottled purple at the sight of what she had done.She trashed the gift I bought for her like it was nothing. I gritted my teeth, grinding them against each other. I didn't know how I felt. Uncomfortable wasn't the word. The food in my stomach slouched, the nerve at the back of my neck pulsed harder.I managed to make my way to my room successfully without bumping into anybody– with
ETHAN'S POVThe library had been my abode since I got here, I couldn't have asked for more. At the pack, it was either I was caught up with something or the prying eyes of the bodyguards kept me away from doing what I wanted– finding out the truth I needed to know.I rummaged through the shelves that ran from the ceiling to the bottom of the large library. It's been days since I'd been searching for a particular book that held on to the answers I sought."Green tattered covered…" I muttered, running my hands through the books. Sunset was casting a faint glow through the jarred windows of the library. My eyes finally caught it, I pulled it out and settled down to read…I heard a clattering sound at the back of the shelf, towards the underground section of the library. At first, I ignored it. This was my victory and I was going to relish in it.The clattering sound more, this time louder than the first. "Fuck!" I cursed almost loudly, the library was empty and I had to bribe the librari
