Indianna gasped and pulled away, looking up at Greyson with wide eyes. "The whole school is watching, aren't they?" She groaned and Greyson chuckled."Yep.""Fuck," she cursed buried her face in his chest. "Stop them staring, please.""What makes you think I can do that?""You know you bloody well can, everyone is freaking scared of you!""What about you?" He mumbled, resting his chin on Indianna's head."I can't be," she whispered. "Ever since you marked me, it took the fear away."Greyson looked down at Indianna and smirked. "Good.""They're still staring.""I am aware," he shrugged and his eyes flickered around the room. "Take a fucking picture, it will last longer!" He yelled suddenly, surprising everyone in the room. "If I see anyone staring at us, I will personally rip your eyes from their sockets and shove them down your throats!" Everyone immediately looked away and Greyson chuckled, looking at Indianna's slightly surprised face. "What?""You're not a very nice person, are you
"Greyson," Kirstie said when he and Indianna walked into Kirstie's class. "Glad you could grace me with your presence.""Don't expect it to be a common occurrence," he shrugged and Kirstie rolled her eyes."Feeling better, Indianna?" She smirked and Indianna pursed her lips, ignoring Kirstie's smug look."Amazing," she said sarcastically and Greyson chuckled, leading Indianna to the back of the classroom."Have you spoken to your mother?" Greyson asked as they sat down.Indianna tensed and narrowed her eyes. "No.""Indie, you need to talk to her.""She brought me up and refused to mention that my father was murdered by freaking werewolves!" Indianna hissed. "I don't need to do anything that involves her.""She's your mother.""You say that like it supposed to mean something," she muttered. "Drop it, Greyson.""No. I'm not saying you need to become best friends, but you need to give her a chance to explain herself.""She's had 16 years to tell me about werewolves and all this other shi
"Indianna, please talk to me."Indianna gritted her teeth and closed the door behind her. She looked at her mother who was standing in the doorway to the kitchen.She looked desperate."Please.""Five minutes," Indianna said sternly and followed Iris into the kitchen. She took a seat at the table and Iris sat opposite her."Would you like a tea, or a coffee-""Answers," Indianna said. "I want answers.""To which questions?""Why did you keep it a secret?" Indianna asked. "Why hide me from this world?""To protect you," Iris said softly. "This world can be dangerous. I didn't want you to be a part of it.""That wasn't your choice to make.""I know," Iris sighed and shook her head. "And I now know that no matter what I could've done, it wouldn't keep you away from this world. Not when you have a mate in it.""What do you mean?""Mates always find each other," Iris said. "No matter what happens their paths always cross. Mates are part of each other. They are the other half to each other'
"Hiya," Brooke said happily and set her bags down next to Indianna in the girls changing rooms the next day. "How are you, sweetie?""Fine," Indianna nodded."So, do you want to sit with me and the girls at lunch today?""I... Er-""It won't be with Greyson," Brooke chuckled and lifted her top over her head. "Just the girls.""Maybe," Indianna said and Brooke smiled. "Brooke, I didn't know Harry had marked you.""Oh," Brooke said, looking down at her collar bone and then back to Indianna. "Yeah, he has. I try to keep it covered," she scratched the black swirls that were branded onto her skin. "I don't like it. It shows to other werewolves that I 'belong' to someone." Brooke shook her head and rolled her eyes. "I don't belong to shit. Us girls gotta stick together, yeah? No matter what Greyson says to you, you are independent. We are both strong, independent females in a patriarchal society. It's tough being a girl in a werewolf world, but we can deal with it." Brooke pulled a top on a
Indianna walked into class after lunch and sat right at the back. She rested her chin on her hand and waited for the teacher to turn up, which was a rare sight in this school."Hi, Indianna," Brandon said and took a seat next to her. "How are you?""Fine," she shrugged. "You?""Good," he smiled and his eyes flickered around the class. "Isn't Brooke supposed to be here?""Her and Harry are fighting," Indianna said quietly and Brandon frowned."Oh," he said. "She needs to break up with that asshole.""She loves him," Indianna said."He's a twat," Brandon snapped. "The whole lot of them are, especially Greyson."Indianna arched an eyebrow at Brandon who shrugged."I know you two have a 'thing', but he's a dick.""He is rather irritating," Indianna agreed.*Excuse me?**Shut up.*"Then why are you with him?" Brandon asked.*Choose your answer carefully, sugar,* Greyson said with a small chuckle."Because," Indianna said, "I like him." It took a lot to force the words out. It looked as if
On the way back to her house, Indianna checked her phone. She had forgotten about R throughout the day so she was surprised to see she had a message from him.Why should I leave when I've just arrived?-RTell me who you are.Ditch your scumbag mate and I may consider it.-RMate? You know about werewolves?You're pretty and smart.-RAre you a werewolf?That's for me to know.-R"Indie?"Indianna jumped and looked at Greyson who had stopped the car. "Yeah?""We're here.""Oh." Indianna climbed out of the car and walked up to her house. Greyson was behind her.Iris was there when they walked into Indianna's house and she visibly stiffened when she saw Greyson."Alpha Greyson," she muttered and Greyson nodded in acknowledgment."Iris, I need to speak to you.""What about?" Indianna wondered."Doesn't matter. Go upstairs, I'll be up soon.""Greyson-""Indie," he said sternly."Indianna, please go," Iris said softly and Indianna gritted her teeth, but headed to the stairs.Her phone soun
"You look like shit," Greyson announced, walking into Indianna's room the next evening."Thanks.""How are you feeling?""Like shit.""Wonderful," he said. "Did you know a teacher turned up at school today. I was starting to wonder if they were a myth.""How interesting," Indianna yawned and brushed her hair away from her sweaty forehead. Greyson closed the door to Indianna's room with his foot and chucked his bag on the floor. In a few strides he was at the window and he opened it wide. "Thanks," Indianna said. "I was getting hot.""I know. I'm in your head," Greyson shrugged. "Have you eaten today?"Indianna attempted to sit up right in her bed, but her weak attempts were useless and Greyson was by her side in an instant; putting pillows behind her and lifting her up. "Yeah. I threw it up."Greyson sighed and shook his head. "Have you managed to keep any food down since you started being sick?""No.""Fuck," Greyson muttered. "Try and eat something later?""If I'm just going to thro
For a week Indianna had been on bed rest. For a week Indianna had been trying to distract her thoughts from Rogue. For a week she had been succeeding."Go away, Greyson," Indianna groaned, bending over the toilet. "I don't want you seeing me puke.""It's not the first time, sugar," Greyson said, holding Indianna's hair back. "It most probably won't be the last."Indianna retched and threw up in the toilet for the second time that morning. It was an improvement from earlier in the week; she would have been sick triple the amount she had been already a few days ago.Once she had finished puking and after washing her mouth out, she stumbled back into her room and collapsed on her bed. She wiped her sweaty forehead with the back of her hand and closed her eyes. "When is this going to end?" She asked quietly."Soon. Hopefully," Greyson said and Indianna scoffed."Helpful.""Well, if you would let Doc examine you properly we might be able to find out-""No," Indianna said. "Not happening."
