SHANNON’S POV

As Mom’s question rang in my head and caught my breath, I thought first about the rejection with Eric at school, which was humiliating, and I had still not told her about that. Then I thought about the mating with the brothers yesterday, which was as embarrassing to me now as Eric’s rejection.

There was no way I could tell Mom that I had been mated to the brothers, it would be really awkward, and Robin would be pissed I knew. Ricky had warned me not to say a word about it to my Mom or Robin anyway, threatening to kill me if I did.

I felt terrible lying to my Mom. In the past, it was so easy for me to tell her anything, but now I found myself not able to tell her some things, like the mate bond with the brothers, and it ate at me. I tried to search my head for a lie tell her, but her voice pierced through my thoughts again.

“Have you found your mate?” Mom repeated her question.

“Uhh, no. Not yet Mom.” I said, playing with the Pad Thai in my plate.

    SHANNON’S POV The car ride to school happened with a strange silence. Surprisingly, none of the brothers mentioned the subject of the mate bond, or the sex scenes, or the rain of insults that had come after that in the events that transpired between us yesterday. It left me confused and scared, unsure if their silence was a preparation to more complications. Seated in the back next to Jules, who seemed more engrossed in his phone than acknowledging my presence, I stole a glance at Ricky in the front seat through the rearview mirror again. His eyes met mine briefly, but he looked away, the connection between us hanging unspoken in the air. Cole, who had insisted on driving, not able to stand me, exuded an air of indifference, focused on the road ahead. It surprised me a bit, as his attitude was different to the intensity he had shown during our steamy encounter yesterday. A nagging thought of our shared moment hung in my mind, but I pushed it aside, unwilling to dwell on the strange

    Shannon’s POV The weight of the students’ judgment weighed down on me as I stood there in the aftermath of my stepbrothers’ intervention. But unable to withstand the scrutiny any longer, I clutched my burger and fries still wrapped in fast-food packaging, abandoning the untouched milkshake on the table. Bowing my head in shame, I walked across the cafeteria, feeling like a lone wanderer in a hostile territory. Their eyes burned into my back as I walked out. The interference of the brothers to claim me as their own and publicly, had only widened the gap between my status as a low life and them. Out in the corridors, I walked on ignoring whispers and judgmental glances. The lingering trace of humiliation clung to me like an invisible cloth. A peasant among wolves, a freak in their eyes – the names seemed endless, and I couldn’t escape the suffocating awareness of their hate towards me. As I reached the field outside, a quiet spot away from the prying eyes, I found solace on an isolat

    Shannon’s POVHearing the words “please us” come out from Cole’s mouth, immediately understood what he meant by that. From looking at them, they all wanted the same thing, and that felt disgusting from a minute.But I was desperate to get my medicine back, as it was the only one I had with me and explaining to mom that I’d lost it would bring too much questioning from her. I wasn’t ready for that, considering I was already hiding a lot from her.“Fine then.” I finally answered, feeling nervous.“Good. Let’s head to the bathroom then.” Ricky let out, his first words since appearing in the scene between Cole and I.Part of me was surprised he waited until now to say something, but then I remembered how perverted the brothers all were, and Ricky had shown he was no different from his brothers, so I should expect that.I led the way to the bathroom, and walking towards there, I could feel their eyes on my body as they trailed behind me. It was obvious they were trying to turn me to their

What a stubborn little wolf.”Jules chimed in, “You’d think she’d be grateful we’re even offering her a ride.”Ignoring their attempts to bait me, I muttered to myself, “I’d rather take a cab.”Ricky, who had slowed the car to match my steps, sighed with evident frustration. “Shannon, Dad instructed us to take you home. Just get in.”I shook my head, refusing to acknowledge their control over me. “I’m not interested. I’ll get a cab.”Cole’s voice turned taunting, “Oh, come on, Shannon. We won’t bite… much.”Jules

You’re letting your imagination run wild.”I shook my head, frustration bubbling inside me. “But Jules, I just need you to listen.

You have not yet healed up.” She said, her sweet voice wrapping around me like a blanket.“You’ve been released?” it was supposed to be an observation but it came out as a question.
