Simon's POV
Lilith's POVMy phone's alarm went off and almost fell when I felt for it in the dark. A mini heart attack ached my chest as I caught it by its charger mid-drop. Hissing under my breath as the screen's brightness burned my eyes, I climbed out of bed and slipped on knee-length gray gym shorts and a black tank top. This school seemed pretty lax on the dress code for girls, so I wasn't too worried about the spaghetti straps showing. My sports bra underneath was wearing down enough to allow the shapes of my nipples to be identified.It was 6 in the morning, and thanks to it being Summer time, the sun was just peaking through my blinds. Tim would not be awake yet, even if he was an early riser. My plan was to wake up before him today, rush downstairs to grab a snack, and sneak out. I wasn't playing nice for him anymore. Especially after he almost killed me last night. I hadn't expected him to come chasing after me with a butcher knife. He reminded
Connor's POVHaving had very little sleep last night gave me little to no control over my lykos. Dior was having a pissing match with me and wanted out. I let him have what he wanted last night, and it ended with us having more energy drained than planned. Seeing Lili this morning almost resulted in me causing her turning process. If the smell of her blood hadn't thrown me off, I was going to drag her to an empty room, strip her clothes off, and nip her where no one could see. Her smart mouth didn't help either.I yanked Lili into the Clinic and tossed her to the examination bed. She landed with a thud and bumped her head against the wall behind her. I winced, realizing I was being too violent with her. Shooting a threatening glare at the nurse, she flinched and scurried out. Closing the door behind her.Lili scowled at me while holding the wrist of her hurt hand. Ignoring her disobedience, I searched the cabinets until I found gauze, m
Taking the chance to relax in my 1st period class before Connor came in, I laid my head and arms across my desk. I closed my eyes and inhaled. Playing everything that happened in the clinic back in my head, I couldn't stop being curious about how he knew someone was coming. Maybe I was so focused on him and just didn't catch the approaching steps. Desire spread through me as I considered what would've resulted if the random student who skinned his knee hadn't interrupted us looking for the nurse. I glanced up to observe each student that attended class. Susi was not in her usual place and her bubbliness had yet to grace me this morning. I checked my phone to see no texts from her still. Feeling annoyed and frustrated, I typed in the memorised number of my bestie in Michigan and sent her a quick text when the last bell rang, signaling the start of class. To Laurel from me - "Hey, lady! It's Lili. This is my #. We need 2 talk soon. I have so much to tell u..."

I want to thank everyone for reading my story this far! I appreciate any and all comments on things in my story. I'll consider ideas thrown my way and work hard to improve my writing as I go. Be prepared for relationships in the story to get very intense from now on. 😇 Don't forget to support the story with gems and reviews! Doing so will give me the confidence in writing the sequel for Susi! I am super excited to tell her story and I've already started writing it.

Connor’s POV She finally asked the right question. Yes, she asked several ones that all led to the main one. She got it right. My control? Gone. I barely stopped myself earlier in the clinic, and now this Alpha could no longer pull himself from his mate. “Let’s just say someone destined us for each other.” I smirked at her. She squirmed, rolling her eyes. “Seriously? You’re going to spout that ‘destined’ bullshit?” Smelling her arousal, I flattened myself against her harder. “It’s not ‘bullshit’. I just can’t go into more details with you yet.” Lili shoved at my chest and begged me with anger in her eyes. “Please back off of me. This is school, not a whorehouse.” I chuckled, breathing through my mouth, trying not to smell her excitement. She said no, but she meant yes, she just didn’t know why yet. Her lykos was affecting her, even without being created. Raising my hands in defen
Susi's POV I wasn't planning to tell Connor about the outing Lili and Simon were going to have last night. After we found Simon in front of her house, I had assumed he caught on to them having hung out. Now I was kicking myself for having put off explaining things to him. The anger in our Alpha flooded the room the moment Opal asked Lili if they had hung out. She made it unbearable when she asked her if he had slept over. Along with every single other Lycan in the room, Connor paralyzed me with fear. He would be in a pissy mood for the rest of the day, and that alone was terrifying. I couldn't help but be grateful to be staying in school the rest of the day while he left for the packhouse. The other Beta can deal with him. I caught a smirk rise on Talia's face as I swung my body around to face the front of the room. She enjoyed the power he exerted into the room way too much. Connor:Is that the reason we found him a
Lilith's POV Just from Connor tapping my shoulder, I almost developed a heart attack. Without turning towards him, I ripped a corner of my note page, scribbled my number down, and reached it behind me. He teased the tips of his fingers down my folded palm to the scrap of paper, plucking it from my grasp. The peach fuzz on my arm raised in response to his touch. I shook myself as my hand retreated from behind me. He gripped my shoulder and leaned into me, drawing out the hidden need in me to be closer to him. My stomach dropped as my head relaxed backwards to him. His hot breath brushing my earlobe, causing tingly sensations to vibrate through me. "Thank you for behaving." He whispered, teasing me. I rolled my eyes, knowing I was safe from him seeing it. It bothered me to hear the "missing girl" flirt with him. Something obviously attracted him to me, but after getting a decent look at her, I can't help but wonder if it's her
Su's eyes burned red as she scrunched her face up into a scowl. I stunned Opal into silence with pity oozing from her. I wasn't sure Su was going to be in her seat for much longer. You could practically see the steam blasting out of her ears. She went to talk several times but kept closing her mouth and shaking her head, trying to rephrase whatever she had planned to say. "Look, you guys can't tell anyone this... okay?" I pleaded. Su's eyes widened in fury and she plunged her body off the stool she was sitting on. Flashing a brisk flicker of her eyes at us as she seized her bag. She conveyed through her grounded teeth. "I need you both to meet me after school in the parking lot. We are doing a movie night at my house. No ifs, ands, or buts." Catching my eyes, I saw a tear fill the corner of her eye. "I'm sorry... You finally opened up, and I'm too angry to be here for you to talk about it. I promise the three of us can discuss it more later. I just ne
