Shannon’s POV

The rain, mirroring the storm inside me, began to pour as I ran through the dark street. Each drop stinging my face, mixing with the tears streaming down my cheeks. The world around me blurred, my vision clouded by the betrayal I had just witnessed.

Finally reaching my room, I fumbled with the doorknob, my trembling hands betraying me. I slammed the door shut, attempting to leave the reality of what I had just seen outside. But it didn’t seem to work. My heart pounded in sync with the rain tapping the window glass.

Collapsing onto the cold floor, I was swallowed by the darkness the betrayal. Leila, the one person I trusted, and Brendan, the one I thought would finally save me from the brothers’ torment, had betrayed me.

With the sound of a loud blast of thunder, I sprang up awake from my dream. It was truly raining outside, and the dream felt so real, except, it was all true — Leila and Brendan had truly betrayed me. Realizing this, the sobs escaped my chest as I curled

    Shannon’s POVWith my hands above my head, I opened my mouth widely, yawning as if I had been engaged in an exhausting chore, meanwhile I was just waking up from an eight hour night’s rest. “Today is going to be a good day.” I affirmed, climbing down from bed. The bathroom was my destination, but for reasons best known to me, I returned to my bed. For the next few minutes, I remained in one position, my hands crossed on my chest with my gaze fixed on the door. I was trying to come up with ideas on how to make my day less boring but I couldn’t come up with any. “I will just sit back and watch as the day goes.” I muttered. Just as I was about to rise, my door flung open and Ricky walked in. “You should have knocked.” I muttered, avoiding his cold gaze. “What did you just say?” He asked, closing in on me. “Nothing.” I replied, this time around, my voice was loud and firm, though I was still avoiding his gaze. The room suddenly went silent after my response. The day was still young

Besides, I was only bluffing, had no other guys to bring in, every guy I know hated and looked down on me.“Where have you been pretty? I checked your room and everywhere you always visit but I didn’t find you.” Jules said with a merry tone, snapping me from my revive. “I went out.” I replied, flashing a coy smile at him. “Really? And you couldn’t tell me?” “I’m sorry. Excuse me.” I said then turned around to leave. For the rest of the day, Ricky’s words continued to ring in my head, hence making me uncomfortable.

How did you… how long have you been here?” I asked, admiring the sketch he had handed to me. “About half an hour now. I thought you saw me staring.” He chuckled, lowering himself on the spot beside me. “I didn’t. Oh my goodness, I never knew you were this good.” I grinned, still gushing at the sketch in my hands. “Thank you.” He replied. After what seems like forever, I folded the pape

Deep down, I knew mom was disappointed, not in me though, but in Eric.When she discovered we were mates, she tried all her best to see to it that we got mated, but unfortunately I was rejected. For some reasons, I didn’t want to accept the fact that Eric reappearance was a coincidence. Something must have happened for him to appear all of a sudden. Was it Selena? — I asked myself. “Shannon.” Mom called with a soft voice, interrupting my thoughts. “Mom, I’m sorry. I should have told you earlier.” I said. “It’s not your fault. Believe me, whatever happened between Eric and you isn’t your fault.” She said, taking my hands in hers. “Thank you.” I mumbled, lost on what to say.

    Selena’s POVClutching my phone tightly, I resumed pacing about my room with a large scowl on my face. With the way things were going, I had to come up with a plan, else I would become the victim. “Selena, what exactly is the problem? You have been this way since last night, tell me, who knows if I can be of help.” Jhenna, my friend said. “You can’t help me now.” I replied, scrolling through my phone. “What makes you think so? Just tell me, even if I can’t help you like you said, I can recommend someone to help you.” She said persistently. Her attitude of always trying to offer help whenever I needed it was one thing that made me adore her, but right now, instead of adoring her, I was beyond pissed. “Stay away from me.” I yelled, when she tried to come close. “Come on, stop acting as if I’m a villain when in the real sense I’m just trying to help. You are my friend and whenever you are bothered, I should be bothered too.” She snapped. “In this case, you shouldn’t be bothered.”

Thinking he wanted to apologize for ignoring my calls and texts, I picked his call with a bright smile. “Hello dear.” I cooed, twisting my hair in-between my fingers. “End it.” His cold response came. I had to take my phone off my ear to confirm his identity. This was the first time he was speaking so coldly to me. Even when he discovered I was the reason Eric returned and began to make trouble, he didn’t speak to me with this tone. “Why the sour tone? Fine, I know you are mad at me…” I was still speaking when he interrupted. “You think I won’t find out?” He asked.“Can you just stop this madness young lady?” Cole’s voice came through. “Young lady?” I asked, biting my bottom lips. Things had really gone south. “Ask Eric or whoever is behind that fake news on the school website to bring it down else, you wouldn’t like what would happen to you.” Ricky said with a deep voice.

Let the guards handle this.” I said firmly, approaching his bedside. “You’re not in any condition to be worrying about Matthew right now.”Jules shot me a glare, but I could see the pain in his eyes. “I can’t just sit here while that traitor is out there,” he grumbled, shifting uncomfortably against his pillows.I gently placed a hand on his arm, trying to calm him down. “You need to focus on getting better,” I urged. “The guards will find Matthew eventually.

My suspicions were like shadows creeping over me, chilling me to the bone. But without solid proof, I felt like I was playing with smoke.I found Jules in his study, buried under a mountain of paperwork. His tired eyes glanced up at me, and I could tell he was bracing himself for another round of my suspicions.“Jules, I need to talk to you about Matthew,” I blurted out before he could stop me.He sighed heavily, rubbing his temples. “Shannon, we’ve been over this. You’re letting your imagination run wild.”I shook my head, frustration bubbling inside me. “But Jules, I just need you to listen. I know something’s not right.”He looked at me with a mix of sympathy and exasperation. “Shannon, I understand you’re scared after everything that’s happened. But maybe you’re seeing things that aren’t there. It’s understandable, given the trauma you’ve been through.

He is trying to pot against you and why won’t you believe me?” I inquired with a very stern countenance plastered on my face.“Oh please Shannon can you please just stop all of this drama? Why are you bothering yourself over something that you shouldn’t?

I mentioned to him that it was probably because of the training he’s still not properly healed yet but he just laughed in my face.As soon as we arrived in the pack house, we were welcomed by the slaves. They were all lined up in the living room in a straight line dressed in black and whiteThey had to be at least fifty to a hundred of them.What on earth did we need so many slaves for?I wondered as I scanned their faces.I glanced over at Jukes who seemed a little too confident.

I blinked, trying to adjust to the harsh fluorescent light.“Jules!” A familiar sounding voice called out and I frowned as her face came into view.“Shannon,” I sat up a little too quickly and groaned out in absolute pain.“Hey Jules,” she smiled at me.“Don’t move too much. 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. I was so happy to see her, I couldn’t believe I had won. At some point, I had completely blacked out but if she was here with me then I had won.“Thanks to you. I’m so sorry for what you had to go through for my sake.* She said, hugging me.I winced at the pain and she quickly let go of me as if I were some fragile glass.“No,” I protested at the absence of her warmth.
