*BRIANNE’S POV*Jordyn’s eyes seemed to gleam with a fierce light as if he could see the potential for chaos and excitement that the new rule would unleash.“This means you’ll have to be strategic, clever, and ruthless,” He continued. “You’ll need to use every trick in the book to outmaneuver your opponents.”The crowd erupted into cheers and applause, their faces illuminating with excitement.‘This is going to be interesting’“That would be all,” Jordyn said, his voice firm and authoritative, before turning to leave. The crowd erupted into cheers and applause, their faces gleaming with the sheer excitement that came with the announcement.As Jordyn walked away, I noticed him speaking with the instructor, with a serious expression on his face.The instructor nodded, her eyes sparkling with understanding, before Jordyn finally turned and left the arena with the other two guys.“Alright, everyone, listen up,” The instructor commanded. The crowd quieted down and all attention was on her.
*BRIANNE’S POV*I looked at my mother, trying to decipher her expression. Her eyes seemed to hold a hint of curiosity, but also a warmth that made me feel like she was trying to protect me. I was about to ask her what was really going on when Mary walked in, her bright smile and bubbly energy immediately filling the room.“Hi, girl!” Mary exclaimed, her eyes locking onto mine with excitement. “I’ve missed you so much!”My mother turned to her with a smile, her expression softening. “Hi, Mary. It’s been a while since you came over.”Mary bounced over to my mother, giving her a warm hug. “I know, Mrs. Preston. I’ve been so busy with school and stuff. But I promised Brianne I’d come over so we can both get ready for the full moon ceremony together.” Mary’s eyes sparkled with excitement as she pulled back from the hug.My mother’s eyes crinkled at the corners as she smiled. “Well, I’m glad you could make it. We’ve got dinner almost ready.” She said.Mary’s eyes lit up. “Ooh great! I’m sta
*BRIANNE’S POV*My gaze dropped to Mary, who was watching me with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty. She blinked a few times, her eyes darting back and forth as if looking for something to say, but she remained silent.I turned and walked away, my feet heavy on the stairs as I stormed upstairs. I could feel their eyes on me, boring into my back like daggers. But I didn’t look back. I didn’t care what they thought. I was done.I reached my room and slammed the door behind me, the sound echoing through the hallway like a Declaration of Independence.I jumped on my bed, my mind drifting to Jordyn. He says he likes me and I really like him too. How much harm can he cause me? I thought to myself, my mind wandering to all the possibilities.Just as I was getting lost in my thoughts, I heard a knock on the door, disrupting my reverie. I knew it was Mary.She pushed the door and walked into the room.“Bri,” She called out as she walked towards my bed, her voice gentle.“I don’t wanna hear
*BRIANNE’S POV*I slowly opened my eyes, groggily taking in my surroundings. Suddenly, I was met with Mary’s face inches away from mine, her bright blue eyes sparkling with excitement. I gasped, startled, and my heart skipped a beat.“Shit, Mary! What are you doing?” I exclaimed, my voice husky from sleep.Mary giggled sheepishly, her face flushing pink. “Aren’t you going to get up, sleepyhead? Don’t forget we have an event to prepare for.” She said, her voice bubbling with enthusiasm.I sighed and rolled my eyes, rubbing the sleep from my eyes. “I know today is the full moon ceremony, but you don’t have to wake me up like that. Did you even get any sleep?” I asked her, my voice tinged with amusement.Mary nodded vigorously, her ponytail bouncing with the motion. “Yeah, I got a few hours. But I’m so excited for today! It’s going to be amazing,” She said, her eyes wide with anticipation.I chuckled and sat up, stretching my arms above my head. “You’re always energetic in the mornings.
*BRIANNE’S POV*We got to the venue of the event after a scenic drive of almost an hour.The driver Jordyn sent was incredibly courteous and went above and beyond to ensure our comfort during the journey. He even offered to play any song of our choice, and Mary enthusiastically took him up on the offer. She blasted the speakers with her favorite tunes, singing along at the top of her lungs.As we approached the entrance, the driver assistively opened the door and helped us out of the car. We stepped onto the red carpet like celebrities.The venue was swarming with people, all dressed to impress.Beautiful ladies in stunning gowns and their dashing partners in sleek tuxedos, sipping cocktails and mingling.The atmosphere was electric, filled with excitement and anticipation.Mary grasped my hand, her eyes sparkling with excitement. “Wow, this is quite the event!” She exclaimed.I nodded in agreement, taking in the opulent décor and lively ambiance. We made our way through the crowd, ex
*BRIANNE’S POV*I felt my cheeks flush, my pulse racing with excitement. I couldn’t help but be drawn to him, my body swaying towards his as if magnetized.Just then, in a moment that felt like eternity, Jordyn’s lips brushed against mine. Soft, gentle, and yet, electrifying. I felt a jolt of pleasure run through me, my heart soaring as our lips moved in perfect sync.The world around us melted away, leaving only the two of us, lost in the magic of our kiss. I felt like I was floating on air, my senses heightened as I savored the taste of his lips.Jordyn’s arms wrapped around me, pulling me closer as our kiss deepened. I felt his heart beating against mine, our feelings pulsing through every fiber of our being. But our intimate moment was suddenly interrupted by a voice from outside.“Alpha,” somebody called out, their tone urgent.We broke our kiss, startled, and Jordyn’s eyes furrowed. “Yes?” He answered, his deep voice firm but polite.“The ceremony is about to start. You need to
*JORDYN’S POV*I managed to escape from the clutches of my mother and some unwanted guests, seeking refuge in the hallway asI was desperate for a drink.As I walked, I heard my mother’s voice behind me, dripping with false sweetness.“Jordyn,” she called out, her voice echoing in the empty hallway.I stopped dead in my tracks, a sigh of frustration escaping my lips as a familiar feeling of annoyance seeped through my veins. I knew exactly where this was going.“Mother,” I answered, my voice firm and detached.She smiled, her entire set of teeth gleaming in the dim light of the hallway. “What do you think about the minister’s daughter?” She asked, her eyes sparkling with a knowing glint.The question sounded awkward, but I already knew where she was getting at. My mother had been trying to set me up with the minister’s daughter for months, and I had made it clear that I wasn’t interested.“Mother, stop this act of madness!” I warned, my voice stern and absolute. “I have told you befor
*BRIANNE’S POV*I stood frozen in shock. What had Jordyn just done? Why did he announce that publicly? I was dumbfounded, my thoughts raced with questions.“Oh my God,” I heard Janette’s low exclamation beside me, her voice was filled with surprise.We decided to take things slow, to get to know each other better before making any big decisions. So why did he come up here to announce that he’s found his mate? I felt like I had been punched in the gut, my breath knocked out of me.My eyes drifted to the girl who had been chatting with him, and she looked just as surprised as I was. Her eyes were wide with shock and her mouth hung open in disbelief.I was relieved that Jordyn hadn’t said who his mate was, I wasn’t ready for any form of attention.“I can’t believe he just did that!” Janette exclaimed. “My brother is something else.”We watched him walk off the stage like a rockstar, a confident swagger in his step. He was clearly proud of what he had just done, and I couldn’t help but f
