Thalia“There’s only so much I can take. Open this gate right this moment or you will all regret it. Not just you but every member of your so-called pack! You don’t want to deal with humans and the cops. You don’t want to deal with my parents either. Look them up! Look up the Sinclairs! My parents will have you all locked up and your pack will be nonexistent if you don’t let me go!” I threatened the buffy security men. I hate bringing my family into my issues or threatening people but these fuckers refuse to listen to me. I have tried every other means to get them to open the gate but they have refused each one of them. If threatening them would get me what I wanted, so be it.Lucas, that fucker. I scoffed at the thought of him. Did he really think just because he told me that he knew the law I would stop? What? He wanted me to go back to the house? Never! If he cared a little about me, he would have stayed at home today not just dropped me off and dumped me immediately. Packing mee
Thalia “Jack! It's so good to see you.” I told him when I walked up to him after parking my car in the space that it would be in until I came back for it. “You got a new car. A pretty expensive one.” Jack observed. I smiled and nodded.“Can I leave it here? My friend is coming to pick me up.” He nodded even before I could finish. I smiled and hugged him in thanks. I saw Emily’s car drive into the building and bid Jack goodbye after making sure that I locked the car properly and got everything that I needed from inside.“Why did you want us to meet here?” Emily asked when I got into her car. I smiled and gestured for her to drive out. She looked at me in confusion.“I came to drop my car. We can use yours. Let’s go.” I told her. She looked even more confused but started her car and turned it. I waved Jack goodbye and blew him a kiss. He laughed and shook his head.“Why are we leaving your car behind?” Emily asked as soon as we were out of Pretense. I sighed.“I didn’t want to b
Thalia“You are right. I already did that and I would very much want to do it again but those two won’t do me and I hate it so much. I feel like I am the only one wanting them so much. I don’t even know why they aren’t feeling it too.” I let out begrudgingly.“Feeling what?” Emily asked with interest. I didn’t know how best to describe how I was feeling to her without sounding like a whore who couldn’t do without sex. I have tried to act like I didn’t feel the way I did but I feel it and there was no hiding it from myself.I felt the change in me since the first time both of them walked into my class. If I am being honest, I felt the charge from the moment I slept with both of them. It only got intense the more time I spent with them. I was in heat or something.I had never thought so much about having sex until I met them. Now all I can think about is being taken by them yet none of them want the same thing. I don’t even know if any of it made any sense but that’s just how I felt.
Cross “What do you mean you lost her? She has been with you for what? Two minutes and you already lost her?” I yelled out. I couldn’t believe he nagged and talked me into the one-week thing only for him to lose her just a few hours after she arrived at his house. “You lost her too, stop acting like she didn’t bail on you too.” “Yes, but not on the first day and you know why she left! I damn well know that it’s not for the same reason because your horny ass won’t let her leave,” Even thinking about it made me jealous. I hated it so much. “I didn’t stop you from having her and she was clearly ready and willing. Again, don’t blame me.” Lucas yelled at me. “Who said that I am blaming you? You lost her! You couldn’t even properly take care of her and ensure she stayed safe but you wanted so much to have her with you.” I should have expected it to happen. I blame too because I shouldn’t have hung up until I managed to talk her out of leaving the house but I had been too b
Lucas “Get out of my way you fucking idiot!” I yelled at a car going so slow even though there wasn’t any traffic ahead of it. “Fuck you!” The driver in the car called out. I swore under my breath as I moved past him and made sure to give him the middle finger. If I wasn’t in a hurry, I would have found out about him and dealt with him. “You are going too fast!” The passenger in my car with me let out and I glared at him angrily. Why did I even agree to go pick him up? The time I spent going over to his pack would have been spent looking for my mate. “Shut the fuck up and make sure we are going in the right direction,” I fired at him. I was almost going crazy with worry and the fucker didn’t even look fazed. I shouldn’t have gone to pick him up. I should have focused on checking all the nightclubs around. Thalia turned off her phone so none of us could reach her and right now, we are tracking her car. Hopefully, we will find her safe and sound. I was fucking tensed
Thalia“Are you having fun?” I cheered loudly so that Emily could hear me over the music. She nodded enthusiastically. I smiled and reached for our hand as we danced together on the filled dance floor. There were so many young people here too having fun for the weekend before the beginning of another school or work life.It was crazy that I even feared I would be unsafe while I walked in here. Funny, I let their words get to me. I was safe and having fun like every other young person in the room right now. The smiles, the laughter, and the mix of smells and sweat were everything. The adrenaline rush. It just felt right.Nothing could possibly go wrong.“Do you want to have another shot?” I called out to Emily and made a driving gesture just in case she didn’t hear me. She nodded, and her smile made me realize that she was already drunk. I wasn’t drunk, but I wanted to get drunk. We already called for a designated driver like we always do. We might not look it, but we are really good
Thalia.“Oh no.” I cried out and tried to stop him but he was so fucking fast. Before I could reach him, he already reached my new friend, lifted him up, and started punching him relentlessly. I ran towards them and tried to push him away but he was bigger than me. By now, all the clubbers were no longer dancing, the music stopped completely.No one attempted to stop him. They were just looking and some were even on their phone, clearly recording. Fuck! “Cross! Stop it! What the fuck is wrong with you?” I yelled at Cross but he didn’t even move. It was as if he didn’t hear me. I tried to stop him again but it was pointless. I looked around and saw Lucas. I ran towards him without thinking and grabbed his arms.“Stop him! He is going to kill him.” I yelled at him but the fucker just pulled me behind him. I pushed him hard.“Stop him!” I yelled at him again and hit him hard but he didn’t make a move to stop Cross who was still busy hitting my new friend. I ran back to him and thi
Thalia “How could you do that to him? What did he do to you?” I let out.“He was hitting on you.” I couldn’t believe it. That’s it? That’s why he pushed him like that and beat him up. I opened my mouth to speak but couldn’t get any words out. I was too stunned to speak. Lucas took that moment to appear.“I took care of him and paid for his hospital bills. You don’t have to worry about him.” He didn’t say that to me. He didn’t even look at me. He said that to Cross and the fucker nodded. I pointed from one to the other.“You both came here to beat an innocent guy up and send him to the hospital? How is that legal?” I asked them.“I didn’t beat him up, he did.”Lucas said, pointing at Cross who fucking nodded. He didn’t even look remorseful. Wow, I must really have bad taste in men.“Why are you two even here? How did you find me?” I asked the most important question.“Did you really think that we wouldn’t find you? I told you to stay at home. Why didn’t you listen to me?” Cross
Cross “Why do we need to leave?” I asked him. The thought of leaving the school while knowing that that bastard was after my mate didn’t sit well with me. I hated it. “That’s what's best for her. It won’t take long for us to be linked to her.” “What does that even mean?” I asked him. I did my research before I took the job. If it was because of the no professor-student relationship then I don’t fucking care about that. I didn’t care before and I won’t care going forward. “I mean that if our relationship gets out, she will be expelled from the school and I don’t want that to happen.” He was talking crap. “That’s not going to happen!” “I wish it won’t but think about it! It’s not just one but two of us! Shifters are accepting but humans? They won’t! We don’t want her to end up sad, right? She really loves school and she has worked so hard to get this far. I don’t want us to ruin it for her.” I saw a lot of sense in what he said but that doesn’t mean I agree with it.
Cross “I am going to kill him. I swear on my life that I will kill him!” Lucas yelled on the phone. I couldn’t blame him. I felt the same too. I wanted to kill that bastard the moment I got the message from him. That bastard not only found out about Thalia but he has been following her for a while now and told me about it himself with picture proof. It wasn’t just a handful of photos that he sent. If it was, I wouldn’t have been so mad right now. He has been following her for a while now. Even before Lucas and I met her. I still couldn’t believe that bastard met my mate before I did and even talked to her. Thalia might not remember because he may have met her as a regular person but he did so and has been watching her for so long. I wouldn’t have believed his words if he hadn’t sent pictures of her from over a year ago. Just thinking about the conversation I had with him pissed me off so bad. I wanted to find him and murder him in cold blood. “You are not alone! I want to
Thalia “I can’t lie. Cross, I am scared. Honestly, I don’t know how to be calm and not anxious when someone out there is probably watching my every move. What if they find me when you aren’t there? It’s not like we are together every time, and it’s not like I can just stay home. I have school.” I told him, and he pulled me back into a hug.“Nothing is going to happen to you, Lia, I promise you. Don’t worry; I will take care of that bastard and make sure to put an end to the madness.” He assured me. I let out a deep sigh and snuggled closer to him. I just have to keep believing him and hoping that it will all end without me getting in trouble. After a while, we eased out of the hug, and only then did I remember that the other girls were in my room, and they probably heard our conversation. Not that I mind. “My friends are in my room. We are spending the night here.” I told him. he fixed my hair and nodded.“You go study, and I will take care of everything else.” He told me while
Thalia “Hey, did something happen?” I asked with concern. He didn’t respond immediately, just hugged me tighter until it got a little hard to breathe and I had to tap him. “I can’t breathe.” I managed to say and he let go immediately. He looked me over as if trying to make sure that I was okay. I smiled at him to ease his worry but he seemed even more worried. Something must have happened to make him so worried. “Are you okay?” He asked with so much concern lacing his voice. Yup, something definitely happened. “I am okay. Did something happen? Why are you so worried?” I asked him. He pulled me back into a hug. “Thank goodness,” He let out in relief. “Hmm. Why did you think something happened to me? I have been at the pack all afternoon and you told me that I am safe here.” I reminded him. He pulled out of the hug again and nodded. “You are safe here.” He assured me. “Okay, so why were you worried for me? You literally look like something big happened tha
Thalia “Yes, claim her. If he doesn’t, she might never know. Also, she has to be attracted to him too.” Those two are definitely attracted to each other. I literally see sparks flying around when they are in the room together. “You will see. I am betting money on the fact that they will get together.” I told her. She looked unconvinced. “I doubt it but let’s see how it goes. I really like her so I will definitely approve.” Emily called out to us again and We didn’t say anything else as we both made our way upstairs to the balcony outside my room where the other girls were already sitting and waiting for us. I realized that even though I have been here for about two weeks straight now since I returned from Lucas’s pack, I haven’t been into my room. I use Cross’s room and everything I need is there so I don’t even bother coming here. “You guys took forever to do the dishes.” Calista scolded us. I waved her off and sat next to Emily and turned on my laptop. Good thing I asked
Thalia “I am not tall enough.” I knew that wasn’t an excuse even before I said it out and Emily knew too. She eyed me. “Don’t piss me off,” She warned me in her motherly voice. I shook my head at her. Elena showed up just in time to save my ass from more talk and to eat. She sat down without asking questions. “Did you see your brother?” I asked her when I remembered the reason she had to go home first. “I did and he said to not worry and that he and the alpha will handle things.” She told me and started eating. She looked sad which made me worry for her but I didn’t ask any questions while she ate. “What happened at home? You don’t look okay.” I asked her when we started piling the dishes we used into the dishwasher while Emily and Calista went to up our reading spot. She forced a smile. I knew it was forced because her real smile was always more beautiful and carefree. “What happened? Did he not believe you?” I asked her. “No, he believed me. Someone else from th
Thalia “I told you before that he owns a booming business. They both do.” I told her again. she dropped her fork and widened her eyes. “I thought you were just saying.” “Girl, you literally searched for them, remember?” I reminded her. “Yeah, I did. Why did I forget that? anyway, you are one lucky girl. You are born into a rich family, got mated to two rich men and on top of that, you are a literal genius and a beauty goddess, honestly, I don’t know why you aren’t exploring your full potential. What’s stopping you? Remember that modelling job?” I rolled my eyes at her. now, she was back again with the same shit that I already told her that I wasn’t interested in. she wanted me to go into modelling. I asked why she didn’t and she said and I quote. “This is not about me, this is about you and using your beauty for the good of all.” as if that made any sense. It all started a month ago when I got stopped by a talent agency that wanted me to sign with them as one of their mod
Thalia “I am sorry,” I repeated when I finally found my voice. We hugged for a few seconds more before we broke apart and stared at each other. She cried. I could see the aftermath of tears in her eyes. I made her cry yet she didn’t not leave. “I couldn’t leave. I hate fighting with you but I couldn’t continue pretending that you weren’t hurting my feelings.” Emily told me. “I am sorry for how I have been acting. I promise that it won’t happen again. You were right, I need to work on my trust issues. It's not you. It’s me and I will work hard to become a better version of myself.” I promised her. “Thank goddess,” Elena said and we both turned to her. “Do you know that you both fighting will ruin the mood of our small friend group? Don’t do that again. I was gone only a few seconds and you guys broke up?” She let out and shook her head at us in disapproval. “Agree. One moment it was cool and the next moment, they both wanted to tear each other apart. I am just glad th
Thalia “It’s worrying because this is a no-drone area. No drone should be able to get close to the pack.” Now I was even more confused because I didn’t know there was something like that. She saw my confusion and explained. “Our packs, both the Silver-crust and the Rhae Blood Moon pack do not allow drones. We have an official permit from the government and all! Drones are not to be seen in the pack, especially around the woods, I don’t know what happened.” She explained, looking back the way she came from and looking up too as if looking for the drone that she had seen. I looked too but there was nothing. “I don’t know if it's a lost drone or if someone is deliberately sending drones in the direction of the pack to watch us.” Now it made sense. With everything that’s happening with the council, I hope it was a lost drone and not one sent to watch the pack. “I have to speak to the alpha and tell him what I saw.” Elena said in a hasty voice. She looked around again. I re
