“Are you sure you're okay?”

“I am,” I take Max’s hand. “I promise if I feel any discomfort pain, I will tell you immediately.”

She laughs. “You better.”

“Okay, Mom,” I roll my eyes as I get off the bed. I have been cooped up here for some reason, but I have had enough.

“I am just taking care of you, I feel partly responsible for this.” She isn't looking at me, head bowed in guilt.

“You have no reason to. You aren't the one who pushed me off the roof,” I shrug. “I was a little reckless too, going up there in the middle of the night to meet with the same girl who beat me to death a few days earlier.”

“Why did you?”

I sigh, leaning on the small closet in the room where my clothes have been put. “I wanted to get it over with? I knew we had to talk at some point, so getting that out of the way … and I was curious what she wanted to say.”

She frowns, obviously disagreeing with my choices. I can't blame her, I mean, look where it got me. "What did she want?”

  • THE REJECTED LYCAN PRINCESS   IT'S ALL IN THE SELF ACCEPTANCE

    ARII am a girl that is broken.I have tried not to let it consume me, and when it was too much for me, I have tried containing it so that it won't consume those around me.Life for me has not been easy. It has been an endless darkness that threatens to twist me and fold me, shatter every new vine, every bone I form, and render me helpless, weak all my life.You can say I have tried not to let it show that I am drowning and just how broken and damaged I am. My mother can't tell you that I have been dead; she thinks I am fine.How can she know when my one purpose in life was to ensure that she never once realized the truth about me?But I am tired of keeping the darkness away. I am tired of carrying it like it weighs nothing, when it's only I who knows the truth about it—about the weight. I have been dead for a long time, just floating in the world.I have had to be with nothing, be nothing that it has infused in my blood, in my psyche. If you are nothing, if you don’t know anything, t

    ARII learnt how to drive when I was thirteen.My mother was so sick in the middle of the night, and it was the month we had to stay in a cabin away from towns and civilisations because she feared that the ones we had been running away from had caught up to us.I still don’t have a driver’s license, but I am a decent driver.The car, too, is so good and so sexy that I can't help the laugh that bubbles out of my throat. When I told Mr. Parker that I needed a car to get out of school like other students, he told me he already had one for me.It was a gift that he didn't think I would like but bought anyway. He is … thoughtful and trying to fill in my father's role.I appreciate that.I run my hands on the steering wheel, smiling so widely my cheeks are aching.A black mustang; sporty, sexy, just how I love it. The interior is all dark red and leather too, that new smell making my norse itch and I giggle as I start it, gearing as I speed out of the gate.Weeks ago I couldn’t get out of t

    ZADEEverything should have gotten better.No, everything should have changed once I decided not to let my dislike for silvers get in the way of me making amends to her. But she has been avoiding me and acting like I don’t exist at all.I haven’t been able to get her out of my mind before but now? now she is all I see. Now she is the epitome of my existence.She is posing a challenge and that is to ignore me and treat me like I am inviscible. Like we are not bonded and I cant sometimes fele her when she hasn’t blocked me out.Like I cant feel her so close to me like we are sharing the same skin, breathing the same air. We are intertwined, I am wearing her mark on my skin, and she is wearing mine, a sign that we are meant to be together, wheter we like it or not.I haven't liked it for a long time and I hated her some more for it. But even then, when I was swimming in my denial, I knew that my life would never be the same once she busted in.She is not someone you simply forget or even

    ARI“Ari! What a surprise, what brings you here?”I smile, bowing slightly in greeting. “Hello, Mr. Parker, I was in the city and decided to come in and say hello to you.” I meet his eyes. “Well, and thank you for the car and the new suite at school.”He laughs, sitting behind the large desk. “You don’t have to thank me, it was nothing. Sit.”I sit on the plush chair facing him, the large luxurious office very intimidating, or it could be the king alpha himself. His presence is very commanding, and his energy is felt, even without him trying to. You have no other choice but to obey and listen to him.I wonder how mother copes with this, as she is an omega; but then again, they are mates, so she is in tune with him.“Mary has not been in the best of moods,” he starts as he sits back, fingers drumming on the mahogany surface. “You haven’t been talking to her.”“I have been busy with school, but I intend to rectify that as soon as possible.” Lies. I have no intention of facing my mother

    ARII am lying on my couch playing on my phone, Mimi and Max hanging out with me, when Max sits up from her seat, looking at her phone with wide eyes.“I can't believe them!”“What is it?” Max asks, looking up from her book.“The boys are doing an illegal street race,” Max shakes her head. “The last time they did this, someone died and the human police had to be involved.”“Who died?” I ask.“A human girl died. There are usually humans joining in on the fun, and the night is so wild and dangerous. I wish they would just notice how dangerous the people they are hanging out with are dangerous.”I shrug casually. “Some people prefer the darkness and the danger. How did she die?”“She was killed.”“What? Why?” Mimi asks, her round eyes wide behind the glasses.“Logan killed her.”That makes my jaw drop. “Whoa.”“yes, that’s why I don’t think it’s a good idea to hold another race especially with how unhinged they have been lately,” max lies down on the couch again. “those stupid assholes.

    ARII look hot.As I look at my reflection in the mirror, I can't help but notice the progress in my psyche and how I look so different from the girl I was months back.That girl dressed and spoke from a place of pleasing everyone around her, to not upset anyone, and to remain in the background. I didn’t dress how I wanted, I didn't even eat some of the foods I wanted when I was at a party that my mother had hosted on yet another Friday night.I wasn’t myself, accepting to be dressed like a doll, going with the motions until I couldn’t know what was real to me and what wasn’t.I never had a chance to grow into myself, decide what I like and what I didn’t like. All of that was pushed away because it didn’t matter when I didn’t know if I was going to live long enough to see spring.Nothing held meaning in a life of survival, and all that I could do once we found a new home and we could sleep a full night without waking up to walk around the property was to continue living the life of a

    ZADEI didn’t think much of anything at first when the guy I have been going for these races tried to deny me access and make the night fun for me.But when my car collection was suddenly gone from my warehouse, I knew something was up. No one knows about my warehouse save for the boys and the people who work there.They cant even meet my eyes, as I wait for them to explain why I cant see my cars, why the warehouse is fucking empty.“We didn’t do anything, we were all told to stand aside as they took the cars and left without a word.” One of them tries to explain, but my patience is starting to run thin.“Who are they?” Rowan asks as I turn around, looking around, trying to think who could have the guts to try crossing me like that.No one can try pulling some move like that on me because they know they won't be sleeping with their head attached to the rest of the body.“King Alpha’s command. He told us to stand down. We didn’t have any other choice! I am sorry, please spare us!”Of

    ZADEThe whole world seems to fade out as I walk towards the girl who’s getting out of the car, looking around.“What are you doing here?”Her head snaps my direction, looking directly at me before she dismisses me by looking over my shoulder.My jaw clenches as Max walks up to me, looking a little uncomfortable. “Hey, Zade. We thought we could join in on the fun.”Is she dismissing me even now, in my event that she is not supposed to be? Seriously? “Were you invited?” I don’t conceal the cold venom dripping from my tone.“That’s the thing we-““Crashing my race?” I cut her off, raising my voice a little. “Leave.”I start leaving, not able to stand there and be ignored. I don’t know what's annoying; the fact that she is ruining my life or the fact that she is here, unbothered and blatantly treating me like I am invisible.“Are you okay? You seem a little bloated.”That voice stops me in my tracks, and I raise my eyebrows. Bloated? “Did you talk to me?” I turn around and point at mysel

    ZADEI stop behind one balding man, I think he is here because he is a legacy. Not the official family but still as important. I can see the sweat trickling down his neck into the stiff, tight suit he is wearing.If I wasn’t so sure before, now standing behind him as he reeks of fear … it's solid. My hand goes through his back, and I touch the organ that’s beating and warm in my palm.Gasps echo around, but no one says a word, as they look at me with horrified expressions, save for my father, of course.“This man,” I turn to Jude, “you missed this man.” My fingers close around the beating organ and pull my hand back. The body shakes, twitching before his head thumps on the table like a log. The scent of blood permeates the air, thickening it with the tension and fear pulsing in the room.I walk over to Jude and let the organ fall on his file, and he looks at it, eyes wide. I am sure he isn't breathing. After all, I just killed a legacy, and he has a lot of mess to clean up.And also,

  • THE REJECTED LYCAN PRINCESS   JUDE, YOU ARE FAILING

    ZADEWe are back to ignoring each other.Or to be more precise, Ari has gone back to hating my guts and ignoring my existence. And when she sees me, when our eyes meet, those first two seconds, time seems to slow down, and it's only us. The world fades away, and it's us, and I usually get this feeling in my chest, this heavy thing that is threatening to drown me, but in a sweet way.It's only us, as if we know something, just the two of us, and then the moment is snapped and broken, and she is back to scowling at me, rolling her eyes.But I know, those few seconds, where it is only us, when time stops and we only see each other, feel each other… that is the truth of us.She told me she wanted devotion and then proceeded to lock herself in the bedroom before she left early in the morning, even though we did spend the night together.I didn’t sleep, not when she was in the next room and I knew she wasn’t asleep either. I listened to her breathing, every turn and twist in the bed.I list

  • THE REJECTED LYCAN PRINCESS   ALL OR NOTHING

    ARI“What's going on inside this little mind?” his voice is so close to me, nose brushing my temple.I should feel something. A tingle, but I am so damn tired. All I want is to sleep, forget that I exist for a few hours before I start going back to my life. I can't escape it anymore, now can I?“Nothing,” I sigh. “I am just a little sleepy.”Is he expecting more from me tonight?I wish I had the girls with me. They would allow me to be in your space. Maybe I should call them, text them, but I don't have my phone. I remember crashing it in the hotel suite before I walked out into the traffic.Maybe I am not as okay as I think. But getting a grip is important.If I am going to avenge and face the people who ruined me to begin with, I can't let go of the reality. I need to be focused and work hard to make sure they don’t destroy me before I destroy them.I know I am not going to come out of it. The plans I made to go study law as further studies, get out of the pack and live my life as a

    ARIMy life is a mess.It’s a fucked life, painful, dry, bland, void of colour.I am ugly too, rotting slowly inside, underserving of anything good because that’s just what is set in stone for me.Despite it all, despite feeling all of that, as Zade looks at me like I mean something, like I matter … I can't help but want to be under that gaze for a longer time.He is looking at me how he used to look at Olivia, like he might love me, like I mean something. He wants to know if I am okay, taking care of me, a gentle, caring touch on my cold, withering soul.I don’t deserve it, and yet.I yearn for it. Crave it. I can't not shudder under it.“Do you want me to ask you?”Yes. I want him to ask me. I want him to push for me to tell him what's going on in my head. For him to fight for me. I am selfish like that. Mother didn’t say anything untrue, because here I am, asking and taking what doesn’t belong to me.I came into this life, took Olivia’s man under fate’s guidance, and yes. It hurt.

  • THE REJECTED LYCAN PRINCESS   WHY WONT YOU ASK ME?

    ARII don’t think I have ever truly let myself think deeply about Zade, who is becoming, and his birthright. I am not one to attach my identity to the boy I am seeing or crushing on, and in this case, the boy I am mated to.But it's still heavy. I find it … sexy that he is already so mature, powerful too, and it's only going to get even better.Yes, I think I am crushing on Zade, and I can't control choking on my water once that fully hits me.“Are you okay?” he asks me as he rushes to my side, rubbing my back.“Yeah,” I wheeze out. “Guess I am a little surprised.”“Why?” he chuckles as he gets back to cooking.“The first thing someone sees when they see you is how spoiled you are.” That’s not true.The first thing I saw and felt when I first laid my eyes on him was just how magnetic and powerful he was. Yes, you could tell from miles away that he is wealthy, but it wasn’t the kind I got from the rest of the students.No, his was the quiet, generational wealth that just didn’t come fr

  • THE REJECTED LYCAN PRINCESS   THIS IS STRANGE, BUT I AM NOT SAYING I DON'T LIKE IT

    ARIIt’s weird.I woke up feeling this gut-wrenching painful reminder that I was still alive, that I am still feeling, and my mind is still as loud as before.I wasn’t ready to face myself, the world, or even reality, so I went back to sleep despite not knowing where I was. I could hear someone, a female, who would come and look after me once in a while. I should have been worried that a stranger was hovering over me.But I didn’t care. That’s how gone I was. I did manage to sleep more until I woke up again, and the tension in my temples was lessening.Someone was touching me like I was so fragile, and I could feel how gentle they were being. I knew it was Zade even before I could open my eyes.It felt better, the chatter, the exhaustion… it all lessened when he was around like this. It’s something I have come to notice, not ready to admit it yet, but it’s there.I could hear his thoughts. They were so unguarded, I wondered if he knew I could hear them, and it’s the first time I've be

    ZADEShe is so beautiful.I exhale softly as I sit on the bed, watching her sleep. I can't resist reaching out with gentle fingers as I push back her hair off her face.Her hands are tucked under her chin, pressed to her chest, her body curled in as if she is feeling cold or protecting herself from something.But she isn't feeling cold; her body temperature is higher, too, which prompts me to stand up and walk over to the screen door. I slide it open, and the soft light curtains let the air in, billowing soundlessly.I had this bedroom built with a terrace garden, so it feels like someone is sleeping in a garden. I know she will love it when she wakes up.I sit on the floor, watching her as she exhales softly once cool air hits her skin.She had a massive panic attack, and I wasn’t there to help her. The first one she ever had was when she saw me kill that crush of hers –something I don’t regret, but I do regret triggering it- and she broke down in the bathroom.I knew she didn’t want

I hold her limp body, my eyes on her now sleeping face, as I breathe hard.I am scared.I almost lost her a few minutes ago, and then watched her as she almost slipped out of her mind. I stand up as I carry her bridal style to my car, where I am parked. I don’t mind the eyes on me, murmuring bout the girl who almost got run over by walking to the busy highway.I secure Ari on the seat before I get in myself and drive away.I knew something was off, from the moment I saw her mother walking out of the hotel, minutes after I had dropped ari and then the coldness that overcame me like I had been pushed in an extremely icy frozen lake.I don’t think twice, taking her to my private home, somewhere no one knows, not even my father. She is still out cold, and I start to worry that I might have hurt her. Lying her gently on the bed, I clean her up, making sure she is comfortable

  • THE REJECTED LYCAN PRINCESS   LET ME GO, PLEASE

    ARISomething is breaking inside me.I can’t feel my touch, even as I touch my chest. I have gone numb, nothing truly registering as I sit on the floor, remaining in a state of static as she has left me.What you are doing is not worth it.Not worth it.Nothing is worth it.What do I do now?A murderer. A misguided child. Doing things that I shouldn’t, wrecking her life.A broken wail escapes my lips as I hunch down, feeling like I am taking my first breath.This is not how it was supposed to go. How can this happen? I killed someone, but I don’t know why. I don’t know why I keep getting angry, like I am in a cage, and when I am let out, I lash out at the first person closest.I wish I could stop, remember myself, and stop getting so angry, to stop my actions before they are thrown back at me, like I am going crazy and need to be put down.Everything I am doing feels wrong. Everyone keeps telling me that I am doing the wrong thing the wrong way.I don’t know what to do anymore. I don’
