~Part One, Day Nine, Thursday
"Is it me, or do you look a little off today?"
Juliette rubbed her eyes, wondering if ignoring Blaise's comment was her best option. She had barely slept last night due to the surprise stranger.
She kept thinking he was going to jump back through the window and hurt her or Jazz.
Now she sat in the gym for weapon handling, contemplating whether she should tell Jaxon about the intruder. She didnt want the strangers threat to fall through, making her constantly anxious and apprehensive about going back into her room alone.
But tonight was the Alpha Kings birthday party, and she was his date.
"You reckon?"
Juliette smoothed her hair down, not exactly oblivious to the fact that her hair was most likely a wild mess, and her eyes were probably red and puffy after all her rubbing. And not to ment
~Part Two, Day Nine"You are quite the clumsy one, aren't you?" Chris groaned after Juliette had stepped on his foot for the sixth time. Juliette smiled sheepishly, a blush tinting her cheeks."Dancing isn't a pactice rogues specialize in," Juliette answered as Chris carried her around the dance floor. He was a very good dancer, and put Juliette to shame instantly."True," he murmuered, his emerald eyes peering down at her. He looked a lot more content here then he did at his work; much more relaxed.The dance floor was filling up some people drunk from too much of the endless supply of wine that was being offered. Chris either hadn't been dinking, or he just had a very high tolerance to the drug, for he moved and spoke gracefully."Your name is Christian?"Chris swallowed, his eyes burning intensly into Juliette's."Correct, although I would prefer if you would con
~Part One Day Ten, FridayJuliette opened her eyes, seeing a very unfamliar roof.Where am I?She turned her head, feeling a little too warm. Jaxon was coiled around he like ivy, his head on her chest, his leg thrown over hers. She gazed down at him, admiring his perfect skin and youthful look.Light was streaming in through the windows because Jaxon hadn't closed the curtain last night. Juliette sighed, feeling the urge to pee.Jaxon shifted, blinked a few times then looked up at Juliette. He smiled weakly, his silver eyes big and luminous. He sat up and stretched, Juliette eyed his shirtless torso and ripped muscles."Sleep well?" he asked, kissing Juliette on the forehead before slipping from the bed. His voice sounded deep and husky from sleep."Surprisingly yes," Juliette mumbled. sitting up. Jaxon excused himsle
~Saturday"I see you survived the night," Juliette said, peering down at her Jazz. She glared up at Juliette, wiping excess water from around her eyes. Juliette dropped the cup on the ground, backing away."Any reason why you splashed me with water?" Jazz snapped, her green eyes ablaze. Juliette grinned, backing away till the baks of her knees hit the bed. Jazz slid from her bed, a look of retribution in her eyes."We should go for a run," Juliette suggested. She was hoping for a day where she could forget about Ace, Chris and any sassy Kings around.Jazz was about to launch at Juliette, but a knock on the door stopped her. The pair exchanged glances."Who do you think it is?" Jazz asked, pushing her wet hair back over her shoulder. Juliette suddenly felt wary, like maybe it was Ace, or even his Boss."Probably just Jaxon," Juliette suggested, walking towards the door. Telling herse
-Sunday"Rise and shine," Juliette called merrily across the room, flinging the grey curtains open so they cast a warm glow over Jaxon's sleeping body. He groaned and stuffed a pillow over his face in a way to block out the sun."Stop acting like a sassy, adolescent Vampire," Juliette grumbled, walking around the bed. Jaxon peeked out from behind the pillow so he could observe Juliette with interest."Me? Sassy?" he asked, acting appalled. Juliette stifled a laugh at his comical expression."Indeed, and I think you know you are," Juliette stated, coming to a halt at the foot of the bed. Jaxon buried his face in the pillow, showing Juliette he wasn't keen on getting out of bed.Juliette bit her lip, and ripped the sheets straight off the bed, leaving a half naked Jaxon groaning on the bed."Get up," Juliette said sternly, smacking his shin lightly. He sat up, and look directly at Jul
~Day Eleven, MondayJuliette opened her eyes, staring straight at Jazz's bed.Not again.Juliette turned back to the bed, coming face to face with the dorm door. She tried the handle, she needed to wake up. It was locked."Jaxon wake me, wake me please," she begged. She was hoping that Jaxon was there, listening to what she was syaing. She turned, hoping to see Jaxon standing there.Instead she saw a small, pale hand slip out from under the covers. A trickle of fresh, bright red blood running down the fingers of this hand. Juliettte wimpered."Jaxon if you can hear me, wake me up now!" Juliette yelled She didn't care if anyone heard, she just wanted Jaxon to wake her up. But whoever was under that blanket wouldn't be Jaxon, the hand was too small and pale.Juliette walked closer, till the blood from the hand drippled onto her foot. It was warm and sticky. Swallowing
~Day Twelve, TuesdayJuliette groaned. It was another dream, it had to be. Although she wasn't in her original dorm room, but in Jaxon's room.She was standing at the foot of the bed, staring at the covers. Everything seemed hazy, and she had a sudden urge to pull the covers away. Instead, she she tried all the doors, to find them locked.She glared at the covers. Suddenly they moved and she screamed a little, backing up till her back ht the door. Jaxon pushed the covers back. He was alive in this dream."Juliette, what are you doing?" he asked, tilting his head to the side. His silver eyes were glazed over. Relief flooded through Juliette."I thought I was having a dream..." she explained, advancing on Jaxon."Where did you get that knife baby?" he asked, his voice oddly monotone. Then she realized he wasn't looking at her, but behind her.Juliette turned slowly, t
-Day Thirteen, Wednesday"Stay in bed with me..." Jaxon groaned, grabbing Juliette's hips. She laughed and fell back into the bed. She was in a good mood from not having a single nightmare last night. And Jaxon seemed to be in a pretty good mood as well."I have class," Juliette giggled, rolling over so she was on top of Jaxon. He watched her with amusment, his silver eyes alight with excitment."And the Alpha King shouldn't be the one keeping me from school," Juliette stated, tracing her finger down Jaxon's strong jawline. He was really handsome, even in the morning. His fluffy black hair, as dark as obsidian, his silver eyes, so bright and luminious."Hmm true, I do want you to make it into the pack," Jaxon said softly. Juliette gazed at him for a moment, before smiling gently. Her finger trailed down the base of his neck, and to the neck line of his shirt."Why, so you can keep an eye on me?" Jul
~Day Fourteen, ThrusdayJuliette sat up, gasping for air.Where am I?She looked frantically around the room, to see she was no longer alone in the cabin of the resistance, but in her and Jazz's old room. She sighed and slipped from bed, her feet finding the familar carpet."It was only a dream..." Juliette muttered softly to herself. Skinwalkers, she had never heard of them. She looked down to see she wasn't in her uniform, but a pair of black trackpants, and a blue shirt she had never seen in her life."What the-"Juliette looked up, and screamed as she saw Ace, sitting on the edge of Jazz's old bed, his eyes on Juliette. She sighed and held her hand to her chest, feeling her rapid heart."You scared me," Juliette snapped, glaring at him. Ace chuckled."You look better this morning, the cut on your side has healed w
~SierraI lay my gun on the table in front of me.He stands in front of me, his arms folded. Maya kneels beside him, looking down. The way she fiddled with her fingers showed she was anxious."We should move in now, their King is in critical condition. They have no chance now," he said softly, sweeping a hand through his ginger hair. I saw Maya wince."Our plan is going perfectly. Everyone suspects Juliette is Delani's killer," I say. He nodded, a slim smile lighting up his features."Perfect, and Ace?""The resistance poses no threat to us. We just need to worry about Jaxon and his pack," I state."But Jaxon is nearly dead?"
~Day Sixteen, MondayJuliette stretched out in bed, feeling oddly warm and sated. She sat up, looking at the wall of Jaxon's room. She looked to her right, and gasped as she saw a half naked Ace lying there, watching her."You finally woke," he said softly, a slight smile playing on his lips. Juliette blinked in confusion, sliding away from him slowly."Ace? What are you doing?" Juliette asked nervously, trying not to let her eyes drift from his. He tilted his head, looking equally confused."I was watching you sleep," he muttered, trying to move closer. Juliette squeaked and went to jump off the bed, but Ace's hand shot out and grabbed her arm, stopping her."Where's Jaxon?" Juliette questioned, looking around while trying to shake from Ace's grip. They were in his room, in his bed, but he wasn't there."He left," Ace said softly, pulling Juliette closer. Bl
Part Two, Sunday"Jaxon..." Juliette warned, her eyes narrowing back at the Kings dispassionate gaze."I will take care of this, while you stay here," he proclaimed, raising a eyebrow. Juliette snorted in dismissal. He didn't know where the resistance was, nor what he was dealing with. He needed to step back and let her or Ace take care of it."Jaxon seriously," Juliette huffed, as Jaxon blocked the door with his massive torso. He stared down at her, completely adamant."You will stay in this room, sleep and let me worry about Blaise. He is my responsibility, considering I may be his possible Alpha," Jaxon exclaimed. Juliette folded her arms. She much preferred to fight for herself, not have someone do it for her."Don't think you can keep me locked in here like your goddamn Princess
-Part One, SundayJuliette flipped the towel over her arm, as she entered the girls shower room. Due to the fact that she had slept with Jazz back in there old room, she had to use the public showers; not a favourite.Feigning innocence last night was easier then she thought. Sure she wasn't supposed to let Jaxon mark her, unless she wanted him dead. But she wanted to kill Ace like he killed Chris. He had bailed straight after his interruption.Juliette had decided that it would be easier if she slept back with Jazz for he night. Jaxon wasn't to keen on that idea, but allowed it once he decided that Juliette knew nohing, and that he needed to think.Juliette waded through the steam in the room, seeing on one figure in the bathroom. Bella.She was brushing her curly blonde hair, staring a herself in the mirror. She had just a towel wrapped around her body.Jul
~SaturdayAce walked slowly, deliberately. He crossed the main hall at a good pace, his eyes trained on the massive chair at the top of the stairs.As he made it close enough, he knelt down on one knee, which pressed against the cold marble."Sir."He bowed his head, staring down at his shoe. Silence stretched across the room."You have failed me Ace," a voice said from behind the chair, embroidered with gold and red. Ace swallowed, but didn't move a single limb.More silence."Juliette Kerson was placed in situation of danger due to your lack of guidance," they spoke again. Ace suddenly had a flash back to the day Maya tried to kill Juliette."Have you secured Maya Green's position?" His boss asked, his voice low and dea
-Day Fifteen, FridayA jolting pain in Juliette's side woke her from her slumber. She groaned and rolled over, her hand finding her side.It was wet. Juliette screamed and retracted her hand, looking to see it covered in her own blood. Juliette looked down, and screamed again when she saw she was stark naked.And in the middle of the woods.She looked around, her eyes searching for something, anything. This was surely a dream, and her dreams always had some moral.Suddenly Ace stumbled into view, his black eyes wide with fury. He looked at Juliette, who backed away till her back was against a tree. Juliette tried covering herself, afraid of him seeing her naked. He was shirtless, his torso covered in scratches and cuts, blue blood weeping from the wounds."Kill him Juliette, show me that our love is forever," Ace muttered, his head lolling to the side. He poi
