My eyes opened and I found myself in the midst of different people that looked like humans but they were dressed ruggedly like thieves.I didn't know what was happening yet but I knew I was in a small room. I could hear their noise but shut my eyes and still pretended to be asleep. "What are we going to do about her?" I heard a girl ask loudly. Through her tone, she sounded pissed off that I was in the room with them and couldn't wait for me to leave. It was so obvious that I felt kinda sad.The guy laughed and everyone began laughing. "Why do I think you're jealous she's going to steal you away from Alex?" He asked her and everywhere became quiet.Who is Alex?I wouldn't mind to know him even though I already have Blake, he has such a cool name already."No, she can't even steal a butterfly. Why would she even dare?""Alex's cute, I doubt there's anyone who wouldn't fall for him." The other girl answered.Okay, these people were making me go crazy. Who is Alex and why did I feel a
"I'm not a stranger, I'm a nice person." I defended myself and he chuckled softly.He yawned and stared at me for a while. "You do look like a good person," he paused and stared at me for a while. "But I don't know, I do not trust people again. I've been betrayed in the past so it makes it difficult for me to trust people."Yeah, I wish I could tell him that I had also been betrayed by people but I couldn't. I just played along with everything."I don't make friends a lot so there's definitely no one to betray me but I believe you. People out there could be dangerous and evil." I replied."You both are getting along, you hardly get along with anyone." Tacha told him and he felt embarrassed.He corrected. "We are not getting along, I'm just trying to see if we can trust her."This was the best time for me to ask him to add me on the team. I removed the blanket from my body and leaned on the wall. "You can trust me, I'll be willing to help you and even join your team. I've seen werewolv
How could I tell him I felt something? It wasn't right, I couldn't do so. I didn't want to find myself falling for him. Remembering Nessa's prophecy about a love triangle made me scared. I didn't know how I would handle things if I get into a love triangle.I stepped back away from him and shook my head. "What? I didn't feel anything. What happened? Why do you look so worried?" I threw series of questions at him.He stared at me and ran a hand through his hair, confused. "I don't know, I just felt like a sharp connection as soon as I held your hands. It's like we're made for...."I interrupted, not wanting him to complete his statement. "Unfortunately for me, I didn't feel anything. What were you drawing?" I asked.He shrugged and sat on the rock. "Nothing important, it's really nothing important.""Can I see it?" He frowned and shook his head. "It's a rough sketch and I can't show you yet. I don't show people my work when it's not ready yet." He answered.I could tell he was lying b
"I just know this bitch brought that wolf here." Ashley continued her rant on how the wolves tracked me and found out about our hideout. I had never been so embarrassed in my own life.She made it seem like I was the evil person. "I didn't do anything, we just saw it on our back here. I didn't bring any wolf here. I'm not a spy so why should I do that?"She wasn't even ready to listen to me, she just wanted to be so toxic and hateful towards me. I still didn't get the hate she had from me right from the beginning. "We've never seen any wolf here. How's it that we finally see one the first day you wake up? You brought them here, you don't have to deny that." "You need to calm down, I don't think she knows. I understand that once the werewolves get to know of our hideout, they'll come for us. Instead of trying to make her the villain, why don't we think of a way to help ourselves?" Tacha suggested"I didn't include you in my speech so get a life." Ashley replied.Now that was the defi
We arrived at a stream and Jasper took off his clothes and jumped into it. "Hey, are you fucking seriously? There could be anything in that water." I told him but he wouldn't listen.My voice was thin with stress, we've been walking since non-stop that I felt tired already. I took a deep breath and pushed a strand of my hair out of my face. "There's nothing in here, you should join me." I knew I wasn't even going to get in that water for anything, it wasn't really deep but after my last experience, I couldn't bring myself to swim again. Alex removed his shirt exposing his body. My mouth was left open for a few seconds before closing it, I gawked at his muscular well built body. "Hey, are you lost?" He asked me holding my hands. My stomach did a backflip. "So, you have a boyfriend?" He asked and I couldn't concentrate. My eyes were focused on his masculinity. I couldn't remember his words, so I nodded. "Did you two develop a connection? Where's he now?" I nodded again.He smiled and
Alex walked up to me, he was still not wearing a shirt. "Hi, hope you're not injured?" I inquired, shyly.He smiled and shook his head. "I'm not... Why? Do you want to give me a massage?"My eyes widened at his offer."No, I'm not. I just wanted to find out if you were hurt or not."He nodded and winked seductively at me."You know if you just need to touch my body, you caj always let me know." He replied and zoomed off.I was still surprised by his remark and didn't even notice that Tacha was right in front of me. "Hey, you seem lost in thought. I just saw Alex leave here a few minutes ago. Did he say anything bad to you?"I shook my head, trying to act normally as I snatched one of the apples from her hands and started devouring it.We both sat down to eat the fruits and made sure we weren't hungry before we continued support our journey. It was getting late already so we needed to find somewhere to sleep for the night. We still had a lot of things to do tomorrow.I was beginning to
The next morning was a little bit slow, we couldn't leave at the particular moment because of the unexpected fog outside so we had to stay back for a while.Seeing Alex made me remember how I kissed him last night, I just couldn't imagine myself kissing him and denied to do the dare ibut they forced me.I did enjoy it but I felt bad inside, I was trying to stop myself from falling in love with someone else. The love triangle was slowly falling on me and I was doing everything I could to stop it."Good morning Tacha," I greeted Tacha with a smile as she yawned and stretched out her arms. "You definetely did sleep well after last night's Truth or Dare. I'm glad we had fun last night."Her smile slowly turned into a giggle. "That kiss with Alex was the highlight of yesterday, I could sense the connection between you guys. No one would know you have a boyfriend."She was ruining everything by reminding about the kiss. I didn't know want to think about it. Why were they doing this to me? I
My legs were already hurting as we entered the cave and began to walk, I was also scared of everything. "I can see you're tired already, we should probably rest for a while before heading up again." He suggested and leaned on the wall.I sat on the cave floor and tried to breathe so I wouldn't die, I was just not comfortable with the fact that I was with Alex. Even though he promised he could save me, I still felt insecure. I was trying to get rid of my feelings but how could I do that when we were alone in a cave? This eas really confusing for me."Thank you," I murmured and tried avoiding his gaze. I was doing everything I could to prevent getting into a conversation with him."I noticed you've been kinda avoiding me. What happened? I don't think we've really spoken today. Is there anything wrong?"He finally confronted me, leaving me silent and confused. I didn't know what to tell him. I couldn't tell him the truth but I also didn't want to lie to him either. I wanted to tell him
Lisa's POV After I finished my makeup, my mother rushed into the room. She said, 'Your future husband is here, don't keep him waiting,' and without waiting for me to say a word, she left immediately. I was annoyed that she didn't even ask for my opinion or wanted to know if I liked. She didn't even care for me. All she wanted was for me to make money for her by getting married to a billionaire. She didn't care about me at all and it was annoying and also sad. Parents should never treat their children like TRASH. They should never do that to their children. It's funny that she thought I was going to marry him. "Mom really doesn't care. I'm the one dating, but I don't mind at all," she tweeted. "Maybe you don't know who you're going to date. I need to remind you. Tom Cruise, the actor on the romantic action series everyone talked about. His parents' estate He is automatically rich because of the 'I knew you remembered' film he acted. He played the role of Charles, an innocent man.
Lisa's POV She rolls her hips back and forth, her hips beginning to tighten under his weight to meet his arms. He tried to cover his face, but his mouth fell open to gasp. She smiled and slowed down, pressing herself against him as he stabbed her. The door opened and Lisa walked in and I slowly was pushing the book under the pillow. I was with my new family now and I was back to human. I couldn't remember anything again but I was told my name was Lisa Reynold. They claimed it was an accident and I believed them. "Hey, what are you doing?" Maya asked with a big smile on her face. According to what they told me, Maya Angela has been my best friend since high school and she really enjoys our friendship. We advise and help each other. We are actually more than sisters because of our love for each other. "Hey honey, I'm not doing anything. I'm just reading" I replied. He hit me with his tongue. I asked "A book?" He licked her lips and asked the next question without hesitatio
I follow him to the end and watch from the darkness. With the key in hand, he approaches a parked police car, unlocks it, and hops inside. The car rattles and creaks from the curb. I sigh as I look at the receding taillights. Yes, he was there but I hoped he wasn't there with his people and whoever he was, I was so ready to find out already.It was good, but not satisfactory. These side streets of the city are too narrow. My heart is pounding with tremendous excitement. My legs hurt from the accumulated energy. The wind is blowing from the south and the pungent smell of cold blood is in the air. Someone had just been killed in the night for probably a wolf sacrifice. You think about going to the beach, imagining walking on the beach with freezing water beating your feet, but it's not safe. If you want to run, you have to go to the canyon.Almost half an hour later, I am standing on top of a hill. My nose twitches as I take in the trail of smoldering illicit leaf fires in a nearby gar
Three Months LaterAlpha Blake was sleeping next to me. From now on, we will turn to humans at any time of the day. It's another reason why I shouldn't have left, sneaked back in the middle of the night, and come back with a bunch of flimsy excuses. He will work late tomorrow. If only it could wait another day. My temples started to flicker. The burning sensation on my skin spread to my arms and legs. Anger formed a tight ball in his stomach and threatened to explode. I didn't imagine we would break up but it finally did. After I was his mate and saved him from the curse, he betrayed me with Georgie and tried to make her his mate. I have to get out of here, I'm running out of time. I played with him one night before our breakup. It's almost two in the morning, it's already late because of this madness, I'm going to sleep. Four nights of memorizing to meet the deadline wore me out. It didn't matter. The patches of skin on the back of my knees and elbows hurt and now burn. My heart wa
Blake's POVCursing under his breath, he stepped out of the house and down the path to the pier, Andrew running behind me. Why would he bring a stranger to the academy? We weren't done with Alex and we heard that he escaped from prison. I looked up as he stepped onto the podium. Duych wagged his tail and leaned over to greet me. “Beautiful dog,” I muttered petting the dog, then, with a worried look on my face, I flashed Andrew a big smile and stepped forward, arms outstretched. We quietly hugged and he backed away. “You brought guests in,” I said, staring at him, then turning to the girl.She looked like she's somewhere in her teens. She wears a pair of ripped blue jeans and a black unzipped hoodie over a crumpled T-shirt with a cross print. "Is she a human or a wolf?" I asked curiously. Up close, I could see that his spiky hair was dark blue rather than black. Two gold rings pierce her right eyebrow and she has a nail in her right nostril. A large gray mouse perched on her left sh
Blake's POVIt's been days now and Hailey still hasn't come back. After that experience that almost killed the guy Georgie sent to help me, I became very scared and unproductive. I didn't want to endanger myself or put anyone else's life in danger but the more I stayed without doing anything, the more lives I was getting in danger. I have never been so confused and scared for her. I just know his life is in danger. She might as well be with this demon but I don't know where. I don't want her to go through that trauma again. I tried to report the incident to the main officials and school authorities but she advised me not to do so as she did not want to put Alex in danger, I stopped.I wish she understood that she was putting herself in jeopardy instead. Days had passed and I still hadn't seen her. I decided to meet with Mr. James again since he was one of the reasonable and trustworthy officers of the Institute. He's the only person I can really put my trust in. He seemed surprised
Lisa's POVTrust me. Yes, she can give him that. "I trust you. And I love you." A deep kiss was his reward, and a small shock when he pursed his bottom lip. Still clutching his arm, he entered his shell, startling her with long, slow strokes. His eyes were fixed on hers. She wanted to shield herself from the intensity but couldn't seem to get out. Her fangs were stretched out and it was so erotic that her body tingled with excitement. She careful wrapped her legs around his waist, pulling him Extreme deeper. When he lowered his mouth to her neck, she didn't stop him. She trusted that he would not take her blood without her permission. His teeth scraped lightly against his skin, sending sparks up to his toes. He kissed up to her collarbone, scrubbing hard, then licking her cleavage. He put a hand between their struggling bodies and pressed down on her aching clitoris. She almost flew off her skin. "And you say you're still in love with Blake? Your body doesn't tell me that way. Ca
Author's POVAlex and HaileyHe pressed his knees against her back, holding her still as she squirmed and kicked. It wasn't a smart decision, she realized too late. Her skirt had been undone and with the handcuffs she was at his mercy. He chuckles and kneads one globe first and then the other, giving each one a joyful clapping. "I like you more like that." "Purely scammers," she spat. "What's your stupid rule again? Always be prepared to fight the dirt in a dirty way." She sighed in defeat and dropped her cheeks on the cold ground. "Okay, okay. You won. Now let me go. I don't want to have anything to do with you."He chuckled softly. "You should be happy, I uncuffed you. I've been stuck in this damn cave for three days with you," he whispered in her ear roughly. "Three days with nothing to do but plot my revenge." "Don't do that to Blake. He would never hurt you." Chills ran down her spine and her insides constricted. What did he think? He grabbed her arm and pulled her up.
Since no one believed me about Hailey, I decided to look for her by myself. All around me, the lone crickets making noise clamored for company, and in my chest, my heartbeat was slow and steady, even as my mind worked overtime, thinking of ways to look for Hailey. After a while, the same voice spoke again, but further away, as if traveling with the wind now. "Stay strong, honey. I have been waiting for you. Was this an angel? Or perhaps the Moon Goddess? Even though I was still convinced that no one was actually talking to him, I still couldn't help asking the voice a question, even though I really wasn't expecting an answer. "Who are you?" "I am your past, present and future. I am your DESTINY!" `"You are my destiny? I don't understand what you mean…" This time, the only response I received was a faint jingle of bells. "Of course," I whispered, "I can't live anymore." I would never be so brave in real life. But if this is heaven, why is it dark and cold? Am I dead? Whe
