Message alert. "Meet me backstage." Summer's heart fluttered. They were dating for four years and they had planned their lives together. Bobby would study law and complete his football career and Summer would graduate from law as well. They would open up their own law firm and have two gorgeous babies. A huge house on lake Sol with a pool and a rose garden. "This was it." Summer thought," he is going to o propose to me. I will be his fiance' and his wife in a year or two." She stood dumbstruck, watching Bobby kiss Brook passionately, squeezing her buttocks against the piano. Tears streamed down her cheek as she watched them gliding their hands all over eachother. Brooks mini dress now looking like a crop top. It was over! Her dreams were shattered. A murder mystery, revenge and an unexpected cursed Lycan mate unfolds as Summer reinvents herself.
View More" And our homecoming king this year is...... drum roll please. Bobby Styles." The student teacher,Miss Dawn cheered. As the drum rolls died down, Bobby took his place on the stage and a crown was set on top of his perfect chestnut brown hair.
Summer's heart raced, it was only obvious, she was going to be homecoming queen. She knew that Bobby would have pulled a few strings to make that possible. He was the most popular guy in school. The football captain,landing a scholarship for football and law at the University of Brits. That was the main reason Summer had applied and had been accepted into Brits as well. Although she had applied to all five universities, her heart were set on one."Our home coming queen for the year 2023 is none other that." Miss Dawn looked around the room, teasing the girls as she prolonged her announcement." And here goes, our home coming queen is Brook Wilds."Summer took a step forward, realising that her name was not called she slowly retreated into the crowd. He heart sank and she stared at Bobby who did not even notice her. He was staring at Brook, he looked mesmerized by her pink, sequenced mini dress. She was like a real life Barbie doll. Summer could not compare to her since she wasn't as confident to show so much skin. Instead she wore a baby blue ball gown with layers of net and lace. She did not blame Bobby for not being able to to pull a few strings to get her the homecoming queen title but she was still his girlfriend since eighth grade.Summer clapped, she was happy for Bobby. He had talked about being homecoming king all year and now the title was his.Walking over to the refreshment table, Summer picked up a glass of punch and sipped it while she watched Miss Dawn place the crystal tiara on Brooks perfectly blonde curly hair.She closed her eyes and fantasized about wearing that tiara and receiving that big bouquet of red roses.The cheers of the students around her brought her back to the sad reality as Bobby and Brook took to the dance floor.He held her waist tightly, pinning her against him. Her head rested on his chest as they both swayed to the rhythm of the music.Some part of Summer felt jealous but she shook the thoughts out of her head. She had no reason to doubt Bobby. They spent most of their time together and when he wasn't with her, he was with the guys.Lurking in the back of the hall, Tyler watched his brother dancing with Brook. He rolled his eyes and then looked at Summer, standing all by herself drinking a glass of fruit punch.He wanted to walk up to her and sweep her off onto the dance floor but she wasn't his to have.From the corner of his eye he watched a hand creep out from under the table with a bottle of alcohol.Knowing the punch was now spiked he knew he had to do something before Summer refilled her glass. He watched her take the last sip from her glass and pick up the ladle to refill.Grabbing a bunch of leaves from the pot plant next to him, he dashed over,tripping over himself he deposited the leaves into the punch." Silly me, I am so sorry." Tyler apologised as he tried to fish out the leaves from the punch." I guess I just ruined a nice punch."A waiter came to his rescue and took the bowl away, replacing it with a new one." It's alright, I think it was spiked." Summer smiled. Her strong sense of smell never failed her.Tyler smiled and extended his arm." Hi , I am Tyler ."Before Summer could introduce herself, the song ended and Bobby grabbed her around the waist giving Tyler a deadly look." My date awaits my company." Tyler said hurriedly before disappearing into the crowd." He seems nice. Do you know him?" Summer questioned." He is just some geek in our grade. No one important." Bobby laughed before taking a glass of punch and gulping it down.Summer expected him to apologize or show some sort of emotion for her not being homecoming queen but instead she had to listen to him boast about being the homecoming king." I always knew I would be homecoming king. How can anybody resist this good looks." Bobby gloated." So homecoming is based on looks. So am I not pretty enough to be homecoming queen?" Summer asked him." It's not like that. You know what I mean. It has been my dream for like forever." Bobby replied." I know. I'm sorry I'm killing your good mood. Congratulations." Summer smiled, but her smile did not reach her eyes.He lifted her chin to look in her eyes," you are beautiful to me. I am now going to the washroom. I will see you in a bit."" I think I also need to go." Summer followed him.Staring in the mirror she looked at her brown hair. She didn't have much freckles and they were hidden with the foundation her mother applied generously this afternoon. She dabbed her nose with some powder from her purse and exited the washroom.Waiting on the side for almost ten minutes,Bobby did not exit and she checked her watch every few minutes tapping her foot impatiently.Fifteen minutes had passed and she asked a boy that was passing by to check if Bobby was alright in the toilet. She hoped his excitement didn't give him a runny tummy. She remembered when he received the scholarship news earlier in the week, he spent three hours in the toilet." Sorry, I don't see Bobby in there." The boy said as he exited the washroom.Summer could not understand, where Bobby would go without her. Why would he just leave her?She checked her phone and a message popped up on the screen. Curiously she opened it."Trust you?" Ella choked out. She was a mix between furious and panicked. She was worried about Tyler , scared of Brook and now the person that betrayed her is asking her to trust him."Yes. Ella. I am sorry. I know I can't change the past but I can protect you now." Bobby inched his way closer to her." My sister wouldn't have needed protecting if you just stayed faithful to her. "Ella stepped back.From the corner of her eyes, she watched Brook start to sit up on the ground. " Her heart pounded in her chest and her hands shook.She started to bang the gym door frantically, screaming for Tyler." No one is coming for you Ella. Trust me. I will keep you safe from Brook. " Bobby grabbed her arm tightly.Ella screamed loudly as he began to pull her towards the forest behind the university.A loud bang, the gym doors swung open and a large silver grey beast jumped out. He sprinted across the park and toppled Bobby onto the grass.Those green eyes were unmistakable.Bobby let out a large
Three o clock came and Ella walked to the library. She felt like a disgrace for not being a team player and letting Tyler do all the work. She decided that although she didn't like him, she would just have to stick it out. Maybe she is wrong about him but only time will tell."Ella. You are being weird. I don't know why you don't like Tyler but eventually it will affect your grades." Mary stood behind Ella who was standing outside the library doors and looking in."Mary. It isn't what it seems." Ella said as she struggled to move her feet into the library. It was if her legs were jelly. Her mind was unwilling to go in no matter how much she persuaded herself."Oh no. Not this again. My Luna had been suppressed for so long and now I had to have a trigger." Ella thought to herself."Ella. We don't have all afternoon. If your aren't going to go in atleast step aside. Justin and I have an assignment to do." Mary snapped.Ella drew in a deep breath, calming her nerves. Her legs had now re
"A literary passage is an excerpt from a written text. It can be as long as a chapter, or as short as a sentence. Usually, the length of a literary passage is several paragraphs long. This excerpt can be any genre of literature, from poetry to fiction." Tyler answered the question.Ella thought that he sounded like a web browser."Thank you, Mr Style's. That is the correct answer." Mrs Moore clapped again." I guess we have two A grade students sitting next to each other. I am sure you two will get on like a house on fire."Ella rolled her eyes at that statement. There was no way she was going to be friends or even an acquaintance with him.Tyler smiled and looked at Ella who just stared at him coldly. There was tension in the air between them."Let us now dig deeper into the passage. What is this passage about? Who wrote it? Why do you think he wrote it? Does it have a deeper meaning?" Mrs Moore asked.The only two people who actually answered the questions were Tyler and Ella. "You
Ella's blood froze in her body when she heard the words that flowed out of Annie's mouth.Annie was apologetic but Ella was now growing angrier by the second. Annie had gone back on her word.She was supposed to make sure that Bobby, Brook and Jason spent their entire five year sentence in prison and rehab.Bobby and Brook were let off on good behaviour while Jason was on parole.Ella's fists clenched as she disconnected the call.She wondered if that was Bobby or just the boy she had met.Monday morning Ella reached her class and took her seat. Everyone was silent and Mrs Moore called someone in from outside of the class."Meet Mr Style's Tyler Styles.He had just transferred in from another college to complete his final year of journalism with us."Everyone greeted in unison and he nodded back at them.Ella knew that this was the boy from Salt Rock and it irritated her."Please have a seat next to Ella." Mrs Moore pointed to Ella.His surname made her stare at him coldly. She wonder
"Ella. Will you be my girlfriend." Scott whispered lovingly in her ear."This can't be." Ella mumbled to herself.Scott stepped away when he heard those words. He didn't stand a chance to be her boyfriend and she made it quite clear. He didn't want to offend her again by being in her presence after asking her such a question. Her answer was quite clear and Scott walked away.James followed Scott while Mary excused herself to go to the ladies.Ella stood frozen in place.It was dark where she had seen that familiar figure. She rubbed her eyes thinking that she was mistaken but those features were unmistakable. She looked at her phone and up again but the familiar face she had seen was now gone.Her throat was dry and her palms were sweaty.She weaved her way through the crowd to get a closer look at where she had seen that person she thought she knew so long ago.As people danced, Ella tried to maneuver her way through the basketball pitch without getting bumped. She had finally made i
*Three years later*Ella had forgotten about her revenge, she reminisced about the homecoming dance at Palm beach high as she touched the large trophy on the shelf in her dorm room. Although the university was a half an hour drive from her home, she opted to stay at the university. She thought that she would get more work done here than she did at home.She only had this to complete before she would do her practicals at the Palm newspaper firm.She now wondered if she ever did want to be a lawyer or was she just living in some fantasy.She felt as if she had sacrificed too much of herself.Although many boys at the university tried to date her, Ella wasn't much of the dating type. Most of them just wanted a quick fling or a long-term relationship that would probably end up in marriage. It was three years and Annie and Ella had drifted apart. Annie took up the full time job of being the management at the hotel and both their lives had become equally busy.Annie had even stopped tortu
Ella faked a smile. That afternoon she went home with a glum look on her face."Why the long face, Ella bear?" Patrick asked. He was concerned by her almost lethargic behaviour."The day I hate the most us tomorrow." Ella said as she dragged her bag behind her."I am guessing that it is the homecoming dance. We host it every year Ella. I think it will be good for you to go. You get a second chance . This time you might just enjoy it." Patrick tried to brighten her spirits and change her mind. "It's like rubbing salt to my wounds." Ella grunted." I know that it was a horrible experience, but it led you to me. Trust me. This won't be like the last dance. There is no Bobby or Brook. And besides you don't even have a boyfriend. Who is going to betray you? James Wallas? Or Scott Moore? But the most interesting question is, which one of those dodos is taking you to homecoming dance?" Patrick teased. His tone was light and full of giggles."Oh my gosh , dad. You never fail to surprise me w
The year was almost over , it was the last week of school and Ella had made a lot of friends since her book was published. She had written short stories afterwards for many other anthology books in different countries. Her had become so busy that she had forgotten about her past until they had announced a homecoming dance on the last day of school.Memories flooded Ella's brain and she stormed off into the rest room. The overwhelming feeling made her nauseas and she opened the tap, splashing handfuls of water, wetting her hair and her blouse.She patted her face fry with a paper towel and exited the restroom feeling slightly better."Are you alright?" Scott and James asked Ella as she took her seat next to them in the cafeteria.Ella smiled weakly. " I'm alright. I'm just not a fan of the homecoming dance."They both looked at eachother and then at Ella, they decided not to ask." Well, if you aren't going, then we aren't going." James sipped his milkshake."Don't be foolish. You can'
"Chapter Five.A surprise visit."Annie was laid to rest. Everyone returned home. Peter returned to his study to drown his sorrows with a bottle of whiskey. Martha took Adrianna to her room. It was 6pm and the house was silent. Suddenly a loud knock on the door startled Mr Russell. He peeped through the looking glass on the door and sees old Mr and Mrs Walters. He quickly opens the door and welcomes them in, escorting them to the large sitting room. They sat on the large grey and red L shaped couch. It was italian style, soft and very comfortable. They looked around while they waited. The room was designed beautifully. Annie had designed it herself, red and grey curtains. Her paintings hung on the wall. Throughout the house were Annie's paintings. All were unique like her, beautiful and elegant. They massive 85 inch flat screen was mounted above their electric fire place. And a small glass coffee table was in front of them, letters lay unopen on it. Old Mrs Walters instructed Russell
