ZADE

“I have been looking for you.”

Max walks up to where I am, and Olivia sits up.

“And what do you want?” she asks, clearly not looking at the interruption.

Max gives her a side glance. “I am not here for you, I am here for him.” Her chin juts towards me, and she stands on the other side of the table.

“What can I do for you, Max?” she has been getting close to silvers, something I didn’t see coming.

“I am looking for Ari. Have you seen her?”

“How would I know? I am not her keeper.”

She doesn’t look thrilled by my response, which makes me tilt my head as I regard her.

“Well, can you at least tell me where I can find her using your bond? She isn't in our room, and I have been trying to find her all over the place. I think she might be lost.”

True concern mars her face.

“How rude of you. I thought where you were taught you better manners to not to disturb your alpha with such trivia matters.” Livie shifts closer to me, her hand falling on my thigh to drive a point.

Max doesn't miss a s

    ZADE“She is having a hard time, you know?”“What part of not wanting to talk about this did you not get?”Max nods, hands in her pockets as we walk around looking for silvers. Where could she possibly have run off to?“Do you think she feels happiness when she thinks of her new life?” Max asks me after a few minutes.I exhale, giving up. She will persist until she has said what she has in her mind. That’s max.“You tell me.”“I know you know, aren't you her ate? You are more connected to her than you will ever be connected with anyone else.”“And here we are, walking around looking for her, unable to pinpoint exactly where she is.”“She has suffered a great deal, just like you.”“I know you want me to feel connected, bond over the trauma we might share and each other’s pain. But I am just not there yet; all I feel is anger.”“Why?”I exhale, my shoulders loosening as I look up at the dark sky. Snow is falling heavily now.“At the dinner we had a few days ago, my father told me that h

    ZADEShe is lonely.Feeling anguish.Good.I turn and start walking away.“What … where are you going?” Max asks.“You found her.”“Yes, but-““I am leaving now, Max. My nighttime schedule is behind because of you.”She doesn’t object, not that I was expecting her to.I need a drink.When I get to my room, I find the boys all gathered in front of the fireplace playing a game.“What you doing here?”“It’s so boring, there is nothing to do here other than be at the hot tub and then back in the rooms. It blows,” Cass groans as he stretches on the floor.I frown, shrugging off my coat. “Since when has that made you all look so sorry for yourselves?”“Since you started blowing us off to go for a midnight walk with Max.” Rowan rolls his eyes and throws the cards on the table.“Okay, then let's go roam the grounds.”The two look up at me, surprise marred on their faces. Logan only nods before he smiles. “I thought you had started to lose your spark.”“Never,” I smirk. “Let's do what we do be

  • THE REJECTED LYCAN PRINCESS   YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE ALONE TODAY

    ARISomething is beside me.No, someone. A wolf, to be precise. I know this even before I open my eyes, still groggy from the hibernation because of the link all wolves have with each other.I could be freaked out, alarmed that a wolf has come and laid down with me uninvited, but I don’t. This wolf feels familiar, safe, too.I know it's max even without confirming by looking at her.I want to lull up and sleep more, but she stirs, too, and starts moving around like she wants me not to go back to sleep.It's tempting, but I don’t think I am ready to face the world just yet. I don’t know if I want to go back at all. Being here and just hibernating sounds fun and the best option of all.Max is in her wolf form, hence the movements are not as demure or unnoticed because at one point she topples above me and I huff out a breath, breathe knocked out of me.I lazily open one eye to glare at her and shoo her away, but her nuzzle is right in front of my face, and she is looking at me, waiting

  • THE REJECTED LYCAN PRINCESS   IT’S BEACH DAY. OOPS, WE DIDN’T BRING OUR BIKINIS

    ARIEverything is clear and sharp, and all my senses are awake and infused as one.The trees all blur as I run, the ground beneath my paws cool and hard. The smell of rain, mixed with snow and the trees all mix in the air, the sharp cold air making me shiver.Not from the temperature but the exhilaration, the excitement that I feel in this moment.There is another wolf, a large brown wolf, that’s ahead of me, running faster. I want to pass it and be faster, and the thrill of it makes me increase my speed, acutely aware of the other wolf behind me.The more I run, the faster I get, and the more I feel like I am stretching after a deep slumber. All my limbs feel like they are awakening, and I feel alive.Alive than I have ever been in all my life. Running with Max and Mimi is making me so happy. I can't help the howl I let out as I gain speed until I am at par with Max, before I ump my speed and run ahead of her.We have been at this the whole morning. Running, playing, and more running

    ARI“How?”“We will train very day, get you stronger. You are an alpha, you are supposed to be stronger than you already are right now.”“Yeah,” Mimi agrees. “Why aren't you?”They don’t know that I have been wolfless all this time and its only recently I have had my wolf back.“Because I have been wolfless for most of my life,” I exhale. I can't meet their eyes, I don’t want to see the pity. “I just got her back, so now I have to catch up with all the missed early education and training. I am years behind, so it makes sense that I am getting kicked around like this.”“It's okay,” a hand touches my shoulder. Mimi’s smile is warm, with no pity or sadness. “We were here, and you have her back. It's not too late.”“Yeah,” Max nods in agreement. “I train junior students, so I think I am the best candidate to help you catch up.”I can't cry, not now. I blink back the tears. “Why?”“Because I want to,” Max shrugs, “and because I don’t like seeing people get bullied. I would kick their ass f

  • THE REJECTED LYCAN PRINCESS   KEPT THE MOSNTERS AWAY FOR YOU

    ZADEI don’t understand why these human hunters insist on facing off against stronger beings in the name of killing monsters.Eradicating monsters.They crush so quickly, so weak but yet so confident. I let go of the now limp body, and watch it as it falls and angles itself weirdly.Six hunters.There were seven, aiming for the three wolves who showed up at the beach naked and didn’t feel cold lying on the chilly beach. How stupid can they be?I knew that she had issues and didn’t care much about living but how unaware is she? How unaware is Max too? Isn't she supposed to be good at this kind of thing?I look around, wondering where the last guy went. Maybe he will have better luck than his friends and snag himself some werewolf girls as they start going back to where they came from. Hell, he might as well as follow them and then he can score a whole pack of them.Fuck, I am so mad right now. Something moves on my right, but I don’t look.Mmh, there he is. Hiding, watching, waiting. H

    ZADE“Mimi is collateral for your mistakes,” I tighten my grip and the girl stops struggling. She knows that it’s all futile.“Please, zade please,” Silvers starts pleading but she still isn't looking at me how I want her to. Maybe if I killed her friend, I would be one step ahead of making her feel awful and drown in the agony I promised her.“Don’t kill her, she is more than collateral and you know it,” Max’s voice cuts through and I tilt my head to look at her. There she goes, being all-knowing again. Or that’s what I want her to think.“Are you sure?”She isn't as convinced as she was a second earlier. “This is about you and Ari, so why does Mimi have to suffer from that?”“Please zade, I will do whatever, please don’t hurt Mimi,” Silvers kneels and clasps her hands in front of me.Ah, this is getting awfully dramatic, sucking out all the fun and suspension out of everything. I let go of Mimi and she slumps on the ground, in a fit of coughs as she touches her neck. Silvers runs t

  • THE REJECTED LYCAN PRINCESS   TO FORGETTING

    ARII haven’t been able to sleep.All I keep seeing are dead bodies, piled up and eyes looking at me telling me it's all my fault. This morning I woke in a sheen of sweat, gasping for air my heart thumping so hard.When I went to get breakfast, it was a heavily meat-based breakfast, with a buffet spread out for everyone to choose from and load up as they pleased.One look at what was a little too bloody meat and I was so queasy I ran out of it and barely kept from gagging. All I was reminded of was the severed limbs and blood. Limbs I had to touch and pile up together then burn before gathering the bones and burying them where they won't ever be found.In a matter of a day, zade has turned me into an accomplice and made me bury and burn bodies all in the name of cleaning up our messes.The girls all seemed to find it less disturbing than I did. Apparently, they have had to deal with a bad case of going out of control where they killed a human or two and they had to clean up after them

  • THE REJECTED LYCAN PRINCESS   THE EPITOME OF MY EXISTENCE IS IGNORING ME

    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

    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

    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

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?”“She wanted me to stay away f

Naked in my bed, waiting for me.“I knew we had to talk alone,” she kneels on the bed.My strides are quick as I reach over to the bed and clamp my fingers around her neck, making her gasp and look up at me with wide eyes, confusion, and then terror reflecting in her eyes.“I told you I don’t allow anyone in my bed.” I don’t feel a thing, not even as she starts to scratch my hand, trying to get me to let her go.“I thought I made myself clear when I told you that me amd you are done. Why don’t you get through that your little skull?”I squeeze tighter, all the mindache that has been assaulting me since I got away from that hospital room, finally zeroing in on the girl in front of me. Maybe she should die.Would Silvers forgive me if I killed her? Would she see this as a good form of apology? Will it be enough?Olivia starts to lose consciousness, the fight leaving her body.

    ZADE“I did it for you.”Experated sigh, then an eye roll. “I didn’t think you were attached to her like this. Don’t you hate her?”The longer Olivia keeps talking, the angrier I get.“Get out.”She looks at me, surprised. “What?”“Get out.”“You can't be serious,” she huffs, flicking her hair over her shoulder. You can't talk to me like that and tell me to leave just because of her.”I have a feeling if she doesn’t move, I might remove her myself. “I am. Now get out while I am being nice.”She tripped. I am not to blame that she is clumsy! What was I supposed to do when she fell? Jump after her? I called you, that’s enough to show I care.”“you didn’t call me, I found out on my own.” my hands are shaking. I a barely holding myself back from making sure she gets what she has done to ari only worse.“Whatever, all I am saying is, I did it for you.

    ARII shouldn’t have agreed to come here.I don’t trust her, but I couldn’t ignore the call either. I wonder what she wants to say now that she has called me.The location too is very strange. I mean, who call someone up a frooftop in the middle of the night all in the name of talking?Olivia, that’s who.“I thought you wouldn’t come.” Her voice echoes before I see her. She shows herself from the stone she was leaning against, blending in with the shadows.“I was curious as to what you wanted to say to me.” I try not to show that I am intimidated by her. She did try to kill me, so of course I am wary. I would be a fool if I weren’t.“I suppose you would be,” she chuckles, tilting her head to the side. Her long hair slides off her shoulder, making the angle even more alluring. I still cant see her face, as her back is facing where the moon is illimunating from the sky.Soo, talk,” I shrug, hoping she will start already and I can go back to sleep. Not that I was, but she doesn’t need to

Again.“can't sleep?”“When have I ever been able to?”She chuckles, before laying her head on my shoulder. “sorry, I forgot you are an insomniac like me.”When I don’t say anything, she sighs. “Just one of the things we are alike, don’t you agree?”“I guess.” I have been trying to spend less time with her. She must have noticed that he sought me out like this.“You haven’t come to see me for a while. I am starting to think you are ignoring me again.”“I have been busy.”“If its school work, I know you are way ahead and you have already aced the exams even before they are announced.”“I have other duties other than academics.”“I know, I have your full schedule, remember?”Right, I forgot.“Why have you been ignoring me?”“I thought it would be easier if we slowly got out of each other's lives.” Not even my grandpa is sup

  • THE REJECTED LYCAN PRINCESS   DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT

    ZADEShe has changed.It's in the way she is talking and interacting with others, or lack thereof.It's in the way I can't seem to be getting under her skin anymore. Even the way she is looking at me nowadays, like she can see me but not really. As if she is looking right through me. Together and in front of me but not truly with me.It's annoying me.We are back to the academy, thank hells for that because I couldn’t take more of that camp any more. I dont want to be around her, so close yet so far away and I don’t know how to even fix it.She was starting to look at me differently, too. It started as wariness, then to fear and then to something akin to … familiarity. Comfortable.But now it’s something I hadn’t seen from her before. She is looking at me like I don’t matter at al. she can see me and in her mind, I simply don’t matter, don’t hold anything of importance for her to regard me as anything but someone who she has to deal with in the specific moment I am with her.I don’t l
