"She's not in here is she?"I shake my head and let William in through the door. I can tell from the way his shoulders are sagged that he's having a hard time. Good.He should.He settles onto my couch and lets out a sigh. I ignore the feeling i get from hearing that sound and walk over to the kitchen to fix him some tea. His favorite brew has been thrown out, i did that the moment i calmed down and found myself able to think straight. I make another brew instead and take it to him, noticing the frown that lines his face for a quick moment before it's replaced by a complacent look.His black and gold tux stands out on his body and that in turn makes him stand out. I can imagine how plain i am compared to him, in lilac and faded lilac. It looks good on me in a way i know only i can pull off, but it still isn't compareable to black and gold. William's eyes flicker to mine and he drops the steaming mug of liquid carefully. "Purple looks good on you Greg."I nod "Thank you for the
I get back home to see Greg asleep on the couch, which is odd.He's never fallen asleep on the couch before, and he hasn't changed out of his outfit too.I walk over to see his body sprawled out at strange angles and fear bolts through me for a quick second. I imagine the worst and try not to let my breathing become too fast.He's okay.Greg is okay.He's never slept on the couch before, but who knows? This might be one of the things he does every once in a while.Just because i haven't seen it doesn't mean it's impossible right? "Greg?"I tap his leg a few times and he doesn't stir. I move closer and summon the courage to give him a few soft slaps on the cheek."Greg?""Can't i get some sleep for fuck's sake?"His voice is slurred and groggy and i sigh in relief when he streches and rolls over to sleep on his stomach."You scared me. I thought something had happened to you.""I'm fine Janette. You can see i'm fine can't you?"I want to tell him that i see he's fine. If he wasn't
"Are you ready for this now?"I nod and Leander settles into his seat for our study session."That's not what we're supposed to read."I look up to see him frowning at me but i roll my eyes instead."I already covered those last night. I'm reading for an audition.""An audition for what? The project is due next month.""And this won't take me a day or two to complete. I'm reading ahead so i can keep up with you. Don't feel worried that i'll slow you down, i can keep up."It's either he's noticed the way my throat seems parched or how my voice sounds raw, but Leander backs off and he doesn't ask me anymore questions.Greg's advice sunk in pretty well and i don't know if i'm capable of carrying it through, but if Cara wants to act the way she's acting now then who am i to stop her. I've seen her three times today and each time she's looked away like the sight of me disgusts her.I want to believe there's something else in the works, but everything seems to be confusing recently and i m
It's the end of the school day before i get the chance to see Cara again, and when i do she's with Atreau. He's grinning, with his hand around her waist and he's pulling her closer like she's some sort of posession. It sickens me to the bone, and what sickens me the more is the fact that Cara doesn't seem bothered by it.They're out of my sights and almost down the hall when i'm accosted by someone else. Someone i've been meaning to go search for myself.Fredrick smiles as he stands in front of me and i smile back because i want his book."I heard you and Cara are having a bit of a tiff?"I shake my head and let my smile go even wider."We're totally okay to be honest. She's just found someone she has to be with and i guess that's why she's keeping her distance. Atreau doesn't like me so much."He regards me for a second longer than i feel he has to and when i see my chance i go in for it."I actually have a question to ask you professor?"Fredrick blinks and raises an eyebrow up.
"That was fast."Greg is looking at me skeptically and i smile back at him. Something wonderful has jus happened to me and i don't know if i want that high to be over yet. I surely like the fact that i'm happy and i guess it's not bad that i'm happy. I should be happy because i got the freaking book!Greg walks off into the kitchen and i open my bag to take out the journal i put in there. My to do list is on the first page and there's the instinctive fear in me that i should not be keeping a journal.I kept some when i was younger and i can say that Jane ruined the experience for me. Always going through my bag and trying to search for it. If she didn't find it she would fly into a tantrum and i would be left to deal with the mess she would make. Our parents would even beat me sometimes because i refused to let her read my entries. I was forced to write more because she wanted to read them, and the only way i could get her to stop was to make the entries boring and dull.Talk about
"What?"I smile at him and try to settle into the most patronizing state i can muster."You know how this place costs a bunch to live in?"He frowns and cocks an eyebrow up at me."I don't remember telling you that.""You didn't have to tell me before i noticed. I'm smart like that."He scoffs and i smile even more."So as i was saying, you know how this place costs a lot to live in, and even though you haven't mentioned it to me before i have still noticed it. It would be unfair of me to leave the brunt of the rent on you alone..."Greg starts laughing before i can even complete what i want to say. The laughter feels like a slap to my face. He stops and lets out a contented sigh before he cocks an eyebrow up at me."Let me guess, you want us to split the rent?"I nod and he chuckles."A hundred thousand."My heart stops beating for a moment and i blink."A hundred thousand what?""A hundred thousand dollars. That's like twenty percent of what i pay to live here, so if you want us to
"So there are mates for each wolf at each level?"Mr Ayden nods and stretches out on his bed."Every Alpha, beta, omega, they all have their fated mate." "And it's compulsory they accept this mate no matter what?"Mr Ayden turns to look at me and i feel his gaze scorching me again. Unlike what i had expected he isn't pushing me off. He's looking at me with warm eyes and a naughty gaze.'"Has anyone ever told you have nice legs Janette?"I blush on cue and he chuckles. I always thought my legs were hairy and grotesque compared to Jane's. I always thought they were horrible compared to that of any lady. I only have a light dusting of hair on them at the moment but even that makes me feel insecure."Thank you Mr Ayden."The man smiles at me and lays back fully on his bed.'"I'm not the one tempting someone else with their legs, so thank you Janette. You're something unique."I want to melt so baddddd."Can we circle back to the werewolf talk now?"I chuckle at his question and nod."Why
I can say for sure that i am not a fan of the omega that had rejected a Bravlov.He was Mr Ayden's brother, how the hell could she reject someone with his genes?"Did your brother look a lot like you Mr Bravlov?"He chuckles.'"Aedion was the shining star in the pack. We did bear some faint resemblance, and he would have fit into the shoes of Alpha better, but when he got rejected he killed himself a few months after. Some said the pain was too much for him and they blamed it all on the omega who rejected him. They had her whipped until she died and that was another tragic death in the pack. ""What do you think happened to your brother Mr Bravlov? You don't sound like you believe it was the omega's fault."He nods from his place on the bed and keeps on staring at the ceiling."What i believe is that Aedion could not handle rejection. Rejection was rare but it happened, we had all been warned of it. You'll have to understand that werewolves are sexual creatures. Amidst the strength a
