ARI

All the anger I have been trying to smother down starts bubbling and I frown, looking at the blond. This is poking the bear in its cave but I am done. I am not being a sheep. I didn’t ask to be here in the first place.

“Are you going to let her sit with us?” the flirt asks Zade who has been ignoring all of this and reading in his little book.

“I don’t give a fuck what she does.”

“Run along now,” one of the girls waves me off.

“I will just tell the teacher we are not compatible then,” I smile, before rolling my eyes, smile dropping as I walk over to the teacher at the front of the class.

“Is she seriously tattle-telling on us?”

“Can I change the group? I don’t think-“

“You are Ari Silvers, right? New student?” she cuts me off.

“Yes ma'am.”

“In this school, we all try and get along. You are new here yes, but this is an opportunity for you to get to know your classmates.”

“But they-“

“Is this going to be a problem?” her gaze turns cold.

She is not going to help me. What was I thinkin

    ZADEI have been having mood swings of late.It's so damn annoying I don’t know if I want to strangle someone or cry. This is too alien for me and I know none of these emotions are mine but that doesn’t make me feel them all any less.Like now, I am feeling so awful, so bad my chest feels like it's carving itself in and it’s all my fault.I know it's my fault that Silvers is crying and feeling dejected, and this hating game I have going on is tanking so badly right now.“You, good man?” Rowan sits next to me, putting his tray on the table. You look like you are mad at the food.”“I am fine.” Far from it.Ari and her girls all arrive at the table, and she opts to sit far from me. I guess we are still fighting. I haven’t gone to apologize and make amends so I know she is going to ignore me until I do. We lock eyes but she looks away, turning to Rhea to talk to her about something.I should be worried and thinking of how to make amends with my girlfriend. I should be preoccupied with tha

    ZADE “She is the one eating. Lots of proteins, high-energy foods, and a glass of milk.” I turn to look at the wide-eyed girl who is looking so confused but wary.Does she think I will poison her in front of everyone or something? Not my style- the poison, I mean.“Don’t just stand there, get it and get lost, don’t make me regret this,” I mutter before making my way back to my table.I don’t miss the act that the whole academy just watched all unfold, probably heard everything too. No, my attention is back to my table and the way Olivia is watching me like she is going to incinerate me with just her eyes.Behind all that fury, I don’t miss the embarrassment and hurt. I am dick and I know it.“What’s that about? You are in team Ari now?” Rowan puts his fork down just as I sit down, exhaling. Livie“I didn’t know there were teams.”“What are you talking about? I thought you hated her, but clearly, that’s all in the past now,” Cass looks between me and the girl who is now walking out of

    ARIThere shouldn’t be a need for me to attend these obnoxious classes.What is knowing how to kickbox going to help me when all I want to be is a lawyer and live away from all these snobby wolves?“I hate this class the most,” I grumble as I tug the shirt I am wearing. It’s baggy, almost covering the shorts I am wearing underneath.“I know but it’s mandatory. All werewolves should know how to fight and protect their alpha,” Mimi chirps next to me, a large bottle of water in hand.“You like it?” I raise my eyebrows. I am not judging, but she doesn’t seem like the type who would enjoy any type of sport. She is so doll like and cute, I want to put her in my pocket and protect her forever.“Oh no, I am just repeating what the teacher said on the first day of orientation.”“Wow, you are like a walking Wikipedia.”“I can’t help that I am smart and have a good memory. It should fill in the other areas I am lacking,” she pushes her glass up her nose.Someone's shoulder bumps me so hard I cra

    ZADE“Dude!”“Punch me like you mean to.”“Are you trying to black out?”“Are you chickening out? You can’t handle it?”“I just don’t want to box a maniac,” Cass raises his fists in front of his face. “Something bothering you?”“Shut up and come at me.” I don’t wait for him as I throw the first punch, getting him in his ribs. He doesn’t fall, despite the packed punch. Instead, he stops and starts getting serious.“I would rather die than be bonded to you.”Wow, she is something. She can say anything just to avoid admitting that she wants me, but that doesn’t make sense. She laughed in my face when I said she wanted me, and she called me a clown.She insulted and laughed at me, something that had never happened before. It's not that my ego is that fragile that it can get bruised over a few words. I just can’t get her words out of my mind. I rejected her, I hate her but then why am I bugged that she doesn’t want me? Why does it make me want to punch something hard?“Girl problems?” Cass

    ARI“New girl, you are paired up with Zade. He is the best at getting you up to par with things.”Amazing. The one person who wanted me gone is now going to teach me how to punch. Maybe that isn't such a bad idea, then maybe I can punch him like I want to so much.I wait for him to say no or complain but he doesn’t. He only clenches his jaw and walks off to the back of the class. Mimi is nowhere to be seen, probably left when I was busy hitting the jerk with handballs.Olivia doesn’t say anything, as she squares up with another student, but still watching me. I don’t miss the way her throat bobs up and down as I follow Zade.They always say it's not good to show your enemy your weakness, because then the chances of you being exploited get significantly high. These two have made my life a living hell, to choose to be a saint is to ask to be a doormat.Do as the Romans do, they said.“are you going to take the whole day?” zade’s annoyed voice grates on my nerves as I finally reach where

    ZADEMy lips take in her lower plump one, sucking it into my mouth. She moans in my mouth when I sweep my tongue in her mouth, draw her closer, hand around her waist.Why is it … so dry? Why is there no passion I feel, no excitement nor spark between us?I pull away, eyes lowered as Livie breathes hard in front of me.“Wow.” Her breathy whisper tells me she enjoyed it. She doesn’t know how I feel or what I am thinking. “I missed that.”I cannot lie.I look at her round face, which is so beautiful in an aristocratic way, with full curly hair, and red lips from the kiss. She is beautiful and sexy. and yet …I rush her hair off her face, cradling her face. She looks happy, those eyes are hopeful, before she closes them and leans into my touch, her face pressing into my palm before she kisses it, hands clutching my wrist.“I brought you something.”Her brown eyes open and she smiles. “what is it?”Why is it this way?“you have to come with me to find out?” I stand up and offer her a hand.

A bitter taste fills my mouth and I ready myself for the excuse that's about to come.I have known for a while now that my boyfriend doesn’t desire me anymore. He doesn’t touch me nor look at me the same way he used to look at me. At least back then, he pretended to care enough and be present enough to make me believe.He pretended enough with me and I was content with it, as long as I held onto the illusion of a happy couple, as long as we pretended that we were both happy with each other, then everything was perfect.When was the last time things were seamless and smooth and it didn't feel like we were characters just saying designated lines?“livie.” His sigh tells me everything. I nod, the burger feeling like metal sitting in my stomach. Turning my back to him, I sigh as I look around the rooftop.This damned place.It was where we escaped together, where we were just two kids in love. We had

    ZADE“She is so hot,” Cass groans beside me, eyes on the cheerleader gyrating on another girl in front of us.Yeah, they are hot. On a normal day, I would love to watch them go from dancing to playing with each other in one of the many bedrooms in this house.But it's not a normal day. It hasn’t been a normal day for me for weeks.“Wanna watch?” Cass turns to look at me. He is planning on taking his cheerleader for a more fun time.“I have a girlfriend.”“Not that it has stopped you before,” he snickers, getting up to go to his fun of the night.I hate who I have turned to. A constant overthinker, pinning over a girl I can't stand, wondering what she is doing and how I can destroy the little joy she is having.“You look like you are bloated.” Logan hands me a cup, and I take it, not even wincing at the burn going down my throat. “What's going on?”“Just a bug I can't figure out how to crush.”“Olivia or ari silvers?” The jerk is smirking, having fun over my misery.“Both.

    ARII have never experienced this before.There is a tent that’s lighted with golden and pink lights, fluffy soft pillows and duvets on the floor, creating a very cozy feel. It looks and feels like a slice of our own heaven where no one knows it exists.“What do you think?” Mimi looks at our finished project with pride, arms crossed.“It's…” so wonderful I have never thought this is something I will ever get to do or even be in. “Magical,” I gush out and kneel, peeking my head inside the tent.“I brought snacks, and you have all the things we bought earlier, right?”“Yeah,” I get the shopping bag, dumping everything on the floor. Mimi walks over to the window and draws the curtains so that we can get to watch the rain, the campy mood elevating.“You said someone is coming.”“I did,” she sits opposite me in her pajamas. “And she will. I think she is still settling in.”“Who is she?”“My childhood best friend. She had been away for years, but we still kept in contact. Her parents just c

    ARIARI“So what prompted this little getaway?”We are in a cozy café by the window. It's raining outside, making the town appear almost gloomy but in a very romantic way. It’s my favorite season.Mimi sits back, pushing her glasses up as she rearranges the sugar holder at the table. “You looked like you needed fresh air,” she says.I smile, feeling warm.“And I am worried about you.”“Why? I am all better now. I have rested well enough. I admit that I was neglecting myself and doing all these crazy things. I don't know what was happening to me, but I am okay now.”She sighs, looking at me guiltily. “It's not just that. I am worried about the relationship between you and Zade.”My smile drops. “There is no relationship between me and him.”The waitress brings us our order, which is a perfect distraction that allows me to recollect myself. Mimi clears her throat once the waitress leaves our table, looking at me.“I know, but I wouldn’t bring this up if I wasn’t worried.”“I don’t under

But I needed to make sure that you ate and did not die in here alone.”“Wow, I didn’t know enemies took care of each other like this, let alone worry.” I don’t even look up from the hot bowl of food as I inhale it.“You have a very smart mouth.”“Thanks.”We fall silent, the only sound coming from me eating before I notice his leg is bouncing. It switches to his foot tapping on the floorboard, the black boots making a tapping sound. It's irritating as hell.“What were you thinking?”That makes me look up. “What?”“Getting rained on, then jumping into a freezing lake, drowning twice, what the hell were you thinking?”Am I … getting a scolding from him right now?“what?” is all I can ask again like an idiot.

    ARIAn incessant noise somewhere is disturbing me, pulling me out of the deep slumber I am in.“Uurgh,” I pull the covers off my head and squint towards the dark room. Who is looking for me so early in the morning?“Ari, open up! I know you are in there! I will knock this door down if you don’t open now!”With a groan, I pull myself from the bed and drag my tired, sleep-addled body to the door. It's very early for this.“I thought you were dead, that he killed you or something!”“Mimi,” I close the door once the short girl storms inside the room, looking around as if she is searching for someone.“What?”“When you didn’t come that night and continued to disappear the following days, I thought he had killed you. or worse.”I have no idea what she is saying. I am so exhausted that I curl up on the couch as she paces around the room, looking around. “What's worse than dying?”“Kidnapping. Many things, actually,” she halts in front of me as I drag the blanket draped on the back of the co

The water is making his skin look so pale, almost bluish, but his eyes are so dark here, looking at me.He is looking at me, for what feels like a few minutes before he grabs my hand, and start to push upward. I cant look anywhere else. Not below me, to that dark bottomless ocean I was being dragged under, not on our side, but his face.He is looking up, dragging me with him until his face disappears above. Soon enough, I am above the surface, gasping and coughing. Zade swims us to the shore, dropping my hand once we are safely on solid ground.My knees give out under me, and I cough,

    ARIThe first thing I feel is a very cozy warmth surrounding me.The next thing I feel is that I am lying next to someone, the source of the coziness. The last thing I remember is going to the washroom to wash up …I open my eyes, and I am immediately reminded of where I am.Zade’s.I am in his room, in his bed, and I think … he is lying next to me. I look down at my tangled body, which is wrapped in sheets, and I see that I am wrapped in a robe.I can feel my heart start to spike in my chest, and with as minimal movement, I look behind me, hoping and crossing fingers that he is asleep.He is.Gingerly getting out of bed, I tiptoe to the bathroom, get dressed as fast as I can, and peep outside again to make sure he is still fast asleep.I don’t know how I ended up half naked in his bed, how we ended up cuddling at that, but I know that I need to get out of here. Everything is so confusing, my mind is running in overdrive, trying to put all the pieces together, connect the dots, but do

    ARIIt might still be a nightmare.I trip and fall on the carpeted floor.“Be careful, mate, you don’t look so well.”A gasp escapes my lips, and I look around the room. I am back in that damned bare room. I grapple for something to hold me up, stilling when I see my hands.Red. Blood.My heart is racing again, eyes blurring as I stretch both of my hands in front of me. when … why …Something flashes in my mind. Me running after the figure that was being carried away on a stretcher. My shaking hands grabbing the swollen, unrecognizable face, covered in blood. A neck that’s unnaturally twisted.I look up at the person looking at me as if I am an intrigue. No, he isn't a person; he is a monster. A heartless, cold monster who killed Sebastian simply because we talked.“How could you?” My voice is trembling, but I don’t care. All I feel is this lodged thing, almost solid, in my throat. “Why did you kill him?”“he was living on borrowed time anyway. Thanks to you, I remembered to complete

From the way they curve in on themselves to their movements and sleep behaviour, everything you need to know about them will be revealed.She is lonely. It's so sharp, buried deep inside her bones, a part of her, and I wonder if she even knows how lonely she feels. It's one thing to be a rogue, cast away from your pack.It's another thing for such a thing to happen to a child, forced to live that lifestyle. A young werewolf separated from its pack and lived like that.I am not feeling any empathetic emotions towards her. It's her life, but watching her, seeing it, how she has taken it as her nature, as who she is, part of her personality is intriguing.Something got triggered tonight; that’s why she is in my bed, crying in her sleep, running away from the grip of the nig
