Lucas “I am not even surprised! We let that idiot think he has such power and now he thinks he can do whatever he wants!” Cross let out while pacing around. I agree. We let those losers think they are something that they aren’t. We could have stopped them years ago but we were busy being each other’s enemy. The real enemy has been the council all along and we have always known but we never did anything. We never fucking did anything and now we find out that shifters and their family were losing their lives. The anger I felt was unmatched. Even though it should have been done years ago, now was the time to act and put an end to that fucked up organization. Cross and I decided to meet and talk about what happened in person so while Thalia was over at his pack getting close to the girl who lost her family, Cross came over to my pack and we have been talking nonstop for the past two hours and yeah, getting angry with ever new information we found out about the things the fucked up
Cross “Thalia‘a safety is our number one priority.” I said in agreement with what he said. She’s and will always be my number one priority in all of this. I want her to be safe. I want her to have no fear. The thought that she might be scared that what happened to that young girl’s family would happen to hers makes me want to hit something or better yet someone. Van and that traitorous idiot, Gary. Gary used to be my beta. Until ten years ago, he had been someone I trusted and loved dearly but he turned out to be a fucking traitor who not only turned against me and the pack but also went ahead and banded with our enemy. A shifter who betrayed his own for some lousy money and business deals. A shifter who turned against his own just to have some sick power. As my beta, I fucking let him do what he wanted. I never controlled him and even treated him like an equal but he turned around and made a fool of me. I felt so betrayed. The whole pack felt betrayed and it took us years t
Thalia “That’s not what I meant, why are you making me the bad person here?” I grumbled as I followed Lucas down the stairs of Cross’s house. He was leaving because he was going on a business trip. That’s all I knew about the trip even though I asked him all of last night where he was actually going but he refused to tell me. No, I am not mad that he didn’t tell me, I just want to irritate him because it’s fun and now, he was gas-lighting me by saying I don’t trust him. I do. I trust him with all my heart. I have worked on myself a lot in the past two months and I don’t get easily jealous anymore. Two months, two whole months of pure bliss. I have had so much fun in the past two months with the guys and our relationship has gotten better. Every day with them has been nothing but fun. They are the best things that have ever happened to me. Dating two of the hottest men in town and having them take care of me together turned out to be my best decision. It was twice of everything.
Thalia “Lia!” Lucas’s voice shocked me and brought me back to the moment with him. I stared at him in confusion wondering what he said that I missed. Dang! This is why I don’t like thinking about my family in any kind of way. I always end up being lost in thoughts. “What are you thinking about? I feel like you are miles away.” I clammed my lips together guiltily. “What were you thinking about?” He asked again, reaching for me and pulling me closer to himself. I went to him willingly but I didn’t want to tell him. We haven’t talked about my family at all in the past two months and I intend to keep it like that for as long as I can. “Exams and the fact that you are not going to be back until next week. That’s one whole week of not seeing you and I don’t like it.” I lied. Okay, technically, I wasn’t lying because I didn’t like the idea of him being away. “Oh baby, I will be back before you know it. Also, you have him to keep you company.” I made a face. “I know
Thalia “Don’t worry, you won’t feel his absence while with me and you can call him whenever you want.” I scowled at Cross’s words. I wish it was that easy. I don’t want to disturb. He didn’t travel to play. He has work to do and that’s why he travelled. I won’t be calling him. Maybe a text that he can read and respond to when he is free. I blinked back the tears and wiped the strays off. I coughed to clear my throat before I spoke again. “I have to study for my exams and also hang out with the girls.” I said in an effort to stop being sad about my lover who just left. I heard the car drive out of the driveway and let out a deep sigh. I don’t think it will ever be easy to send any of them away even for the shortest of time. Cross made me look at him and I did, showing him all the sadness. He caressed my cheeks and my lips which were probably slightly swollen from Lucas’s kisses. “Will you miss me like this if I was the one who had to travel?” Was he out of his mind? Wh
Thalia Being the darling that she was, she offered to show me hers first. That way, I will have an idea of what to look forward to. I already have an idea, okay? But no physical experience. I have been reading a lot about werewolves and the shifters' world. It became my newfound hobby to learn everything about them. Elena and my lovers also answered all the questions I had to ask them so when it comes to knowledge about the shifter’s world, I knew a lot but that doesn’t mean it will be easy to see the men I love and have been fucking as animals. “Did you hear me?” I realized I hadn’t said anything after he spoke. I nodded. “Yes, I know. You already told the class after the last presentation. We are ready for your exams.” I told him. I wasn’t even kidding. The man has a way with students. Everyone in my class loved him and throughout the semester, no one missed a single class of his. Even Lucas too. They have become the top two favorite professors for students in my depar
Thalia“Are you sure about this? I don’t mind if you change your mind.” I said to Elena. I don’t even know if I was trying to convince her to not do it or not. I don’t know. I just have reservations. I don’t even know how to describe how I felt. We were at the forest which wasn’t really a forest if I am being for real. It was mainly tall woods and it looked clean and peaceful. We passed a couple on the way here and they told us that they went on a date run. I didn’t even know that was a thing. Elena had to explain to me and the girls. Yes, both Emily and Calista wanted to see her wolf side too. We could have easily done it inside the house but Elena said that she was more comfortable transforming in the woods and it was safe to do it. Wolves have such easy and admirable lives. Like a simple date in the woods, being able to completely trust and believe in their mates. There’s no chance of them cheating unless the wolf is really bad. Loyalty.In that aspect, I consider myself lucky t
Thalia “Wow,” The only word that made its way out of my mouth after a whole minute of staring at Elena. The other side of Elena. Gosh, I don’t know what I had been expecting with all the descriptions and photo proof that she showed me from internet photos but what was in front of me beat all of those photos and the description that she gave me. Beautiful, so fucking beautiful. Why didn’t I even for once think that I would be scared of her wolf side? Of their wolf side? Seeing her like this and witnessing something so surreal gave me the confidence boost that I would be able to face my men and see their other side without running away in fear. It wasn’t scary at all. Elena slowly strolled towards me and I squatted and reached for her. She came close enough for me to touch her. And gosh! Her furs were so soft and delicate. “You are beautiful.” I told the pretty wolf who growled in response. I hugged her and it felt just as warm as hugging Elena. She didn’t feel any different
Thalia “Lena.” Calista called in a small voice. She looked worried. Was she worried that Elena wouldn't approve of her? I don’t see why she won’t approve. We have been friends with Calista for months now and both of them were close. Surely, she knows that Calista was right for her brother. “I can’t believe it.” Elena finally said. “I told you! I fucking told you but you refused to believe me. I wasn’t delusional after all.” I told her. She pushed her hair behind her ears and bit her bottom lips. “I had no clue! Even at that, I asked you but you said nothing was going on.” She said to Calista who looked visibly worried. “That’s because nothing was going on when you asked. I thought he didn’t see me like that and there was no way for me to know I was his mate. I am not a shifter. Yes, I had feelings for him. I have had feelings for him since the day we first met years ago but I knew better than to expect him to fall in love with me.” She sounded sad about that and I wante
Thalia “Look who finally decided to join us.” Elena let out and I looked up to see Calista walking towards us. There was something about her that felt different and I noticed immediately. She looked happy. I mean, she had been happy in the past two months but this felt different. “Did something good happen to you? You look all smiley and happy.” I asked her as she sat down with us. She smiled and covered her face with both hands. Even the giggles she let out were a giveaway that something good definitely happened to her. I didn’t know what it was yet but I was happy for her. She deserves all the good things in the world and more. “Are you hiding something?” Elena asked in a suspicious voice. Calista shook her head. “I am not hiding anything. I just find it hard to believe. Oh my goodness, somebody needs to punch me or something. I think I might be sleeping and this is all a dream that I am having.” I laughed at her words and how her whole face reddened. Whatever happened t
Thalia“Lia? Are you okay? You have been looking around all day long. Are you bothered by what Cross told you last night?” Elena asked me as she sat down next to me. I let out a deep sigh and nodded. I couldn’t shake off the thought that someone was secretly watching me. I haven’t seen anyone suspicious but that didn’t make me feel better. From what Cross told me, that bastard can blend very well with others and he might even have people watching me. Everyone was a suspect but no one I have met the whole of today has been remotely suspicious.When I saw Cross earlier today, he kissed me good morning and assured me that everything was under control and that I could go to school if I wanted to or study at home. I wanted to ask him what Elena told me but I couldn’t bring myself to say the words so instead of asking questions or getting mad at him for keeping secrets, I kissed him and waved him goodbye before leaving the house with my friends.“Lia, there’s nothing to worry about.” Elen
Lucas“I can’t believe that you just said that! Do you want us to tell her that her parents have been stalking her and tell her that we might get her expelled if we don’t leave the school? Have you lost your mind?” I yelled at Cross. He was acting like a man-child and throwing a tantrum over having to leave our mate on her own. Well, it’s not like I was handling it any better. I am the one who came up with the idea but even I find it hard to accept. I love teaching, I love being near Thalia in school.I love seeing her in class and not just her, I have come to like the other students. They listen, okay maybe not all the time but it’s fun getting them to listen and work hard. I don’t want it to end but if we will get Thalia in trouble by staying in the school then I don’t mind stepping away.“Thalia isn’t just any girl. We both know that she is brilliant and she knows how to handle things more than we give her credit for. Not all human women would have been able to take us both on wit
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
