Hunter "So you finally spoke to her about Helene and the bet she proposed? And how did she react?" Damon asked.Myself, Damon, and our mutual friend, Omar, were currently at a bar, having random conversations. Damon and Omar proposed that we go out earlier today because it's been a long time since we last went out together. I agreed to go out for a drink with them because I had a lot on my mind, and I felt like I needed to drink with my guys and also talk about everything that was going through my head with them. I discussed the entire situation with Helene and Brenda, and I also explained to them that I finally spoke to Brenda about Helene and even mentioned the bet that Helene proposed to me. "She was trying to act like she wasn't upset, but I could tell very clearly that she didn't like me talking about the situation with Helene, and she became even more upset after I mentioned the bet to her," I replied.They both didn't look very surprised to hear this, and I wasn't expectin
Helene "I cannot believe this rubbish is actually going to happen. What in the world is the Alpha thinking?" Mia hissed for the thousandth time. She hasn't stopped complaining about the fact that the Alpha agreed to let me fight for my opportunity to stay here, and I was sick and tired of hearing her try to criticize my choice and change my mind."He's doing exactly what I requested of him to do, so there's no need to fault him for accepting my offer, and there's also no need for you to keep talking about this because it's already a done deal and I will fight," I told her strictly, and she scoffed. "The problem isn't just that you are going to have to fight; it's also the fact that you have less than 48 hours to prepare yourself against three opponents that I can assure you are not easy to defeat. What gives you so much confidence and makes you think that you can beat them?" She asked, and I sighed. "I already said this earlier, but for your satisfaction, I am going to repeat myse
Brenda"You told me to remain patient, Mom, and I have tried my very best to keep calm, but I can't take this anymore! I can no longer deal with this, and I'm this close to losing my cool!" I vented over the phone in frustration, pouring out my anger at Mom since she was the only person I could talk to. "Stay calm and talk to me, Brenda. What's going on?" She asked in her usual calm tone, which was honestly starting to irritate me. I can't understand how she's able to keep calm in a situation like this, knowing very well that we're both screwed should anything go wrong with our plan. "You told me not to do anything about that bitch that showed up, mom. You told me to watch and observe her for the time being, and now I'm on the verge of losing control over Hunter because of how patient I've been. That stupid brat is trying to sneak up on me and take what's mine, and I won't allow it. I will not allow that no-good, disgusting nobody to take my man away from me," I blurted out. I tho
Helene This was my chance. My only chance. I let out a deep breath of satisfaction as soon as I was escorted out of my bedroom by the guards. I already asked them where they were taking me, and they informed me that I was headed to the training ground, where the Alpha and every other person that was going to witness the fight were already waiting. I honestly didn't know how to feel because, even though I'd been confident that I wouldn't lose to anyone no matter what, this territory was still very unfamiliar to me, and I was starting to doubt myself a little bit because I didn't have any clue as to what to expect. I could be walking into my own grave at the moment without even realizing it, and I could only hope that things went exactly as I wanted them to because I didn't have a plan B to work with. After what felt like a long walk, the guards and I finally arrived at the training ground, and saying that I was amazed would be an understatement. Back home, I was never really allo
Third-person POVHunter's eyes widened in shock at the sight of Helene in her wolf form. He couldn't believe that the wolf he was seeing in front of him was the same person he had called weak on several occasions and saying he was simply surprised would certainly be an understatement."Are you seeing what I'm seeing Hunter or am I already seeing things? Is that wolf supposed to be Helene?" Damon asked from beside Hunter, with a shocked and confused look on his face. They both had their eyes fixated on the grey-furred wolf in front of them, which was almost two times bigger than the opponent in front of her."To think you boys didn't take her seriously when she told you she wasn't to be messed with," Aurora hissed at them after noticing the shocked expressions on their faces. She was also quite surprised by the fact that Helene's wolf was almost the same size as her cousins and she couldn't help but be even more curious to know who Helene was."Isn't she bigger than me?" Damon blurted
HunterThe last thing I expected was for Helene to run toward me so quickly after staring at me briefly, but instead of feeling upset that she ran to me in a public space, I was more upset by the fact that she had run despite knowing that she was seriously injured.She stood in front of me in her wolf form, almost like she was waiting for me to come to her, and instinctively, I climbed down from where I was, walked in front of her, and the first thing I did was squat so I could take a better look at her injury."You know that you shouldn't be running around in this state, right?" I muttered with a sigh as I lightly touched her injured arm."You're the reason I'm in this state," she responded through a mental link, and something about the way we just communicated made me feel very weird.This would be the first time that she and I would communicate like this, and I felt some type of way because I didn't expect to ever be in such a situation with her, and I always thought that I would b
Helene "Ouch!" I flinched in pain as Hunter applied ointment to the injury on my arm. "Stop being such a baby and deal with it!" he hissed, and I threw him an irritated glare. "And you should stop trying to worsen my pain, idiot. Didn't they ever teach you how to be gentle with women?" I fired at him angrily. He scoffed. "Oh, trust me, baby girl, I am extremely gentle with women, but with you? Never going to happen!" He retorted, applying the ointment even more aggressively and causing me to flinch even more. "Okay, that's it! Thanks for your help, but I'll take it from here," I snapped, snatching the ointment from him and proceeding to apply it myself. "Suit yourself, kid," he said nonchalantly, and I stared back at him with intense disgust. "What's with that look? You're the one who took it away from me," he added defensively, and my glaring only intensified. "Stop calling me a kid already, you douche!" I growled at him with a furious look on my face. I was genuinely sick and
Hunter"I saw you!" Damon drawled in a singsong tone as soon as he walked into my living room. I stared back at him in confusion, wondering what he was going on about and why he was staring at me like that. "What exactly did you see, and what's with that look on your face?" I questioned her suspiciously. I didn't like the fact that he had such a creepy smile on his face, and I was also quite uncomfortable with his suspicious stare. "Are you going to pretend like you don't know what I want to talk about?" he asked.I knitted my brows in confusion as I watched his creepy smile grow wider and wider. "Listen, Damon, just in case you didn't notice, it's already quite late at night, and I don't think either one of us should have the energy to waste our time, especially since we have a lot on our plate tomorrow. So in other words, I'll advise that you tell me why you're here or else I'll have you kicked out," I threatened boredly, even though I didn't mean it. "I know you know what I'm
Helene "You know, you should be thanking me instead of hitting me," Dre said, causing my frown to deepen, and I scoffed. "Are you out of your damn mind? Did you happen to hit your head or something?" I asked, wondering why he would even dare to say such nonsense. If he had any brains at all, he should be apologizing to me for being the reason why I'm here right now, because if it wasn't for him finding me at the lake where I was peaceful, just sightseeing and enjoying my peace, I wouldn't have had to meet Hunter or deal with the numerous shitty situations I've had to deal with since I, unfortunately, found myself in this pack. "You should be apologizing to me right now instead of wearing that smug look on your face," I said, and he furrowed his brows in confusion. "I should apologize. For what exactly?" he asked. "I don't think I have anything to apologize for because, last I remember, you trespassed into our territory where you didn't belong, and as a good member of the pack and
HeleneI didn't want to admit it to myself, but right now, I was hurt, and I couldn't pretend like I didn't know why.I wasn't exactly surprised that Hunter left me on my own to go meet with his girlfriend because I'm aware that he loves her, but it still hurts regardless, as did the fact that he did leave a very bitter taste in my mouth. I know that I mentioned earlier that I did not feel some type of way around him and that I had complete control over my emotions, but the truth is, I lied about that, and I certainly don't have as much control as I'd like to have. In fact, I'm a complete mess at the moment, and I can't even deny it. I'm internally burning with envy and jealousy, and I'm also feeling very unwanted and secondary.I can't say that I, not Elena, have feelings for Hunter or anything like that, but the crazy attraction that I've felt for him in the last few days has been extremely suffocating, and I hated the fact that I was slowly feeling way too comfortable and excited
Hunter "Can you slow down and stop walking so quickly?" Helene yelled from behind me. "I'm not walking quickly; you're just too slow," I said, not bothering to slow down my pace. "Isn't this supposed to be a stroll? If you're taking me for a tour, you need to slow down and let me at least get the chance to know where I am and take a proper look around," she hissed, and I could tell by how heavy her breathing was that she was finding it very difficult to keep up with me, which was weird since she wasn't exactly short and I wasn't expecting her to be so slow.I halted in my tracks before turning to face her, and as soon as I saw how she looked, I burst out laughing without even realizing it. "We haven't even gone that far yet, and you're already looking like you walked a thousand miles? Are you that lazy?" I questioned, genuinely surprised that she'd look so breathless and tired.She had her back bent with her hands resting on her knee, and she was sweating a lot more than I expect
Helene "Look who finally decided to show up! Welcome, Alpha Hunter," I greeted cheekily as Hunter walked in, with a falsely excited smile on my face. "Get up and come out!" he commanded rudely almost immediately, and my smile dropped. "Excuse me?" I cocked my head to the side, visibly confused and offended by his tone. "Why are you telling me to get up and come out? Where to?" I asked, not hiding my irritation. "Can you just get up and do as I asked before you start questioning me?" He hissed impatiently, and I scoffed. "I get that you're the Alpha here, and you're probably used to commanding anyone however you like, but you're not going to speak to me like that and expect me to just listen to you without any questions. First, you'll have to explain to me why I need to get up and come out with you, and if you can't do that, then you can forget it," I reprimanded him snappily. I'm aware that it's very disrespectful of me to talk to him like that, and I shouldn't be pushing his b
Helene "I want an apology from both of you, and I want it now!" I demanded sternly, with both my arms crossed around my chest. "Who? Me? You want me to apologize to you?" Mia asked, and I threw her a dirty look. "I believe I just made it clear that I want you two to apologize to me, so yes, Mia, you're included," I responded snappily. Owen and Mia were in my room for about fifteen and ten minutes, respectively, but I refused to talk to either one of them until they apologized to me. "You keep telling us to apologize to you, but you still haven't told us why we need to apologize. Am I supposed to just render an apology when I have no idea what my offense is?" Mia asked. I sighed. "Well, you should think back and try to think for yourself about what exactly you could have done or said to me that's making me demand an apology from you," I retorted, confusing her even more. I wasn't going to tell them what exactly I was upset about because I needed them to figure it out on their ow
Hunter"I saw you!" Damon drawled in a singsong tone as soon as he walked into my living room. I stared back at him in confusion, wondering what he was going on about and why he was staring at me like that. "What exactly did you see, and what's with that look on your face?"
