"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."
Someone's feeling better.-RIndianna gulped as she read the text. She immediately rushed to the window in her room and looked around. There was no one outside. Not that she could see.She closed her curtains and walked over to her wardrobe. She changed into a pair of high waisted shorts and a white crop top and pulled her dark hair up into a pony tail. She put a small amount of mascara on in attempt to make herself look more awake and stuffed her feet into a pair of battered converses.*I'm outside, sugar.**I told you not to pick me up.**I know.*Indianna rolled her eyes and grabbed her school bag, walking out of her room and down the stairs."Indianna, is that you?" Iris called."Yes.""Where are you going?""School. I'm feeling better." Indianna was out of the house before Iris could say anything else. She spotted Greyson's car parked on her drive and walked over to it. Greyson wound his window down and smirked, his eyes trailing up and down Indianna's body."Hop in, sugar."Indi
"You're sitting with the girls today, yeah?" Brooke wondered as her and Indianna made their way to the canteen.Indianna pursed her lips and glanced back at Greyson who was talking to Harry and Kal. She looked at Brooke and nodded. "Yes."Brooke grinned and linked her arm through Indianna's. "Great!" She said happily and practically skipped through the canteen doors. Sasha and Alice were already seated at a table in the canteen, eating an odd looking soup that had green bits in that Indianna did not want to try."Before you ask, Alice has decided to start eating healthily," Sasha explained, pointing to the soup. "She made me buy the horrible soup."Brooke scrunched her nose up as she sat down. "That does not look like soup."Indianna sat down next to Brooke and caught Greyson's eye as she did. He pursed his lips slightly, but after a minute he smiled slightly and sat down at a different table with Harry and Kal."It's quite nice," Alice said. "Healthy.""I think I'll stick to a lovely
Greyson snatched Indianna's phone out of her hand and he stiffened. "He's been texting you!" He growled. "Why the fuck didn't you tell me?"Indianna's eyes were locked on the phone in Greyson's hand. "He killed my dad," she whispered. "He..." Indianna wrapped her hand round her scarred wrist and Greyson frowned- realising now was not the time to be angry at Indianna. He needed to be there for her. He pocketed her phone and wrapped his arms round her, resting his chin on her head. "He killed my dad.""Shh," Greyson whispered. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you, I didn't want to worry you.""He attacked me," she whispered and buried her face in his chest."He's not going to hurt you ever again. I promise," Greyson said lowly."He's here," she said shakily. "He's been following me. How else is he going to know where I am and what I'm doing?""Why didn't you tell me?" Greyson muttered and shook his head. "You should've told me, sugar.""I don't know why at first," Indianna admitted. "But then h
