EthanAn exasperated sigh escaped my lips as I sank into the bed and looked across the room.I could vividly remember that I kept the book somewhere in the room. Moreover, I had hidden it properly because I didn’t want anyone to catch sight of the type of book I found in the library. So, who took it away from here? I jerked up and went over to the bed, scattering the bedspread and duvet just as I hoped that the book would drop. But then, there was not a single sign of it. It was clear…someone had stolen it.“What the hell!” I cursed under my breath as I bit my lower lips and smashed my foot on the ground. I winced in pain, but that wasn’t enough pain compared to the one I felt in my heart each time it dawned on me that someone might have gotten a wind of the secret. “Is everything okay? You look so tensed”, Jason said as he walked into the room, together with Mason and Jake.“I kept a book somewhere here and can’t seem to find it…”, I explained, digging my hands into my head and h
Kayla“One hundred”, I muttered as I took in a deep breath and took a pause.After the encounter with Claire, the head administrator, I went out to the garden to clear my head. At first, I thought that staring at the beautiful flowers would make me forget the worries that came with being a werewolf on earth. However, it only made me drown in more misery.I had stared at the flowers, wishing that I was just like them…in their world, beautiful and getting admired by lost people like me…If I was a flower, I won’t be as troubled as I was at the moment…When staring at the flowers didn’t do any good, I resolved to walking around the garden and counting every step. I hoped that it would distract me for a while too, but then, each thought of everything that had happened in my life so far came back. I thought of how I found out I was mates to the quad, how Ashley and Bianca had been a thorn in my flesh, how we were sent to the werewolf academy to know who has the power, and how the head a
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
