Nora’s POV“Stop being a wet blanket and have some fun!” Chanel half-screamed into my ears as we got into the club. I, Chanel, and some of her friends had come to the club to chill out. Today was Friday.Renee, my other teacher, couldn’t make it tonight. Something about spending the weekend with her boyfriend.I met them the first day I began to teach at Dylan’s school. They were full of energy. It reminded me of the human friends I had. We were welcomed by the dark lights of the club, the loud music, and the almost naked bodies that were littered all over the place. I took in a deep breath and smiled. I needed this.The past week has been hellish for me, thanks to the new principal. I just don’t want to talk about Michael.The club was once my forte in the human world. It was a place I always went whenever the problems were getting to my head. Since I got it, I haven’t really clubbed. Chanel tapped my arm and spoke some words. I didn’t get to hear her because of the music. Then she
Nora’s POVHe chuckled.I couldn’t believe it. Of all the conclusions, he found that one. Well, to be honest, he was right, but it would never come out of my mouth.“What’s funny, your highness?” The sarcasm rolled off my tongue like a carpet. He stopped laughing. All traces of laughter had died. I bit back on a smirk."Nothing, Nora," he said as he ran his hands through his hair. It was a habit I noticed he had when he was short of words or stressed. I couldn’t help but notice how his hands were large. They could definitely fit into mine.“I just think you should have told me," said Michael after he cleared his breath.“I never knew I had to report my everyday activities to you.” I glared at him and walked away.“Who the hell did he think he was anyway? I can go out as I please. Wasn’t he the one who went out and came back with Luna? I had been quite all this time,” I reasoned aloud as I went to the kitchen to get a midnight snack after changing into my pajamas. Thank God I didn’t ha
Nora’s POVSunlight penetrated through the blinds, and I squinted the moment my eyes fluttered open. With a stretch, I sat up in bed. I could no longer feel that pounding pain on my forehead."Oh, this sleep is good!” I exclaimed as I stood up. I used the bathroom, washed my face and teeth, and walked back to my room. I wanted to do my facial care, but I remembered Dylan. I haven’t seen him since yesterday morning.I opened the door to leave, and I could hear shouts. I still heard clearly, and I wasn’t mistaken. There was a brawl going on at the front of the house. Werewolves and fights were in an ever-ending love battle. I went downstairs to get breakfast, but as usual, the chef had made it.“Good morning, everyone.” I turned to the chef and asked, “Why don’t you take a day off?" I said as I took the table mat out while signaling for the maids to leave it. I still felt weird having everything done for me. By the way, I found joy doing these little things.“Good morning, Nora,” she sm
Nora’s POV He came forward and was about to take my hands, but Michael snatched them away. I fought the urge to smile, but it was a serious matter. Watching him immediately catapulted me to a time I would never forget. I staggered, and immediately Michael caught me. “Are you okay?” he asked. “Just dizzy,” I replied. “Do you want to go inside?” he asked, and I nodded. He held my hands, and we went in, but not without giving Jake a death stare. He took me to the kitchen and gave me a glass of what? I gulped down the liquid like I was in a desert. I sat still without saying a word. “Do you want to talk about it?” I was silent as I stared out in space. “I’m sorry for asking me." "No, it’s fine. I remembered something. It was a painful memory.” I smiled weakly. “Do you want to hear it?” He nodded slowly. “I had just given birth to Dylan, and I had no job. I needed one, and when I did, my boss was attracted to me. I was not ready, but he was adamant. and so I trailed off. *********
Michael’s POV“So what happened?” I finally said when she went quiet for a longer time. I was shaking in my seat. She had to do all that with Dylan. At some point, I wished she was not having my child. Just maybe she wouldn’t have gone through all these.“I had to kill him; I could not sleep with him,” she said with a small smile, which was a miserable excuse for a smile.“And you were without a job again?” and she nodded. “With Dylan,” she nodded, laughing. I could see the tears in her eyes. She was hastily drying her tears."Nora,” she said, looking up at me. I smiled at her. "Please, you don’t have to suppress your emotions in my presence, okay?” She gave me a better smile and nodded. I went to the fridge and poured her a glass of orange juice."Here.” I handed it over to her.“Thank you, M." I snapped my head at her. What did she just call me? That had been a name I thought I had forgotten. Mom always called me that.“You’re welcome.” This time, my smile turned into a full-blown g
Michael’s POV“Your best friend betrayed you.” I looked up at her and nodded. I remember going to the bar after I got myself treated. I just wanted to forget everything.“I’m so sorry, M.; you had to go through all that, you friend." She raised a hand and frowned. I raised my eyebrows."What is that?”“Was your best friend Jake?” I gave her a smile.“Yes”"Oh my God! Shit! I can’t believe it. How could he have done that?” she frowned, and I laughed. She really looked cute when she looked angry.“How did she become an Alpha?” her brows furrowed."It was heard that his mother had an affair with the Alpha, and when the Alpha and his son died, they had to make him the Alpha of the Viola Pack," I said as I recall hearing that from Hercules."Hmm, is that why he was made Alpha at the young age of 18?” she asked, and I nodded."Wow!” she exclaimed. Suddenly, there was banging at the front door. A guard ran in."Your highness, the Alpha of the Viola Pack has refused to leave. He said he would
Mia’s POVI ran with all my strength as soon as I saw that my parents had been killed. It was finished. What was I alive for? The pack was on fire, and I wished all this did not happen. Suddenly, I heard a hissing sound, and I sharply turned around. What was that? My heart pounded in my head as my eyes went in all directions. Then I noticed movement in the back of my eyes. I turned sharply, and I wasn’t surprised to find a snake. I moved slowly out of there without making a sound. I didn’t have anti-venom in my blood. Those were only for Alphas, and unfortunately, I wasn’t one, though I was born by two Alphas. My parents did a good job of hiding me, but I knew that one day I would need to be on my own. I guess that day was today. I didn’t want to think about my parents. I just wanted to survive.As I tried to find an okay place to sit, I looked all around. My wolf is not really out because I am still transitioning. Now we were being attacked. I hope I do not find myself in a worst-cas
Mia’s POVI woke up suddenly, every thought in high definition. I squinted as the sun hit my retinas. I took in every ray of light, and without a doubt, I knew I had slept too long.My clothes were wet, and sweat was all over my skin, like some skin care lotion. I ran my hands across my face.“What a horrible dream," I thought. Then I rubbed my hands over my eyes. Maybe I wasn’t seeing well. I tried to steady myself. There was a guy in the room. No, scratch that. There were guys in the room. And they were all staring at me.“Please let me go! Don’t hurt me!” I cried out as I shrunk back to the bed.“Calm down, dear. No one is going to hurt you,” a cute-looking guy said as he tried to assure me, but that made it more creepy.Half of the time, people said they wouldn’t hurt anyone, but eventually they did."Okay, tell us who you are and get quick about it,” a voice growled. I turned. I knew that voice.“No! No! This can’t be happening!” I used a pillow to shield myself from him. He was
