Lily’s POVAnna had just walked into the chemistry class we were having, and I stayed back to catch my breath.I felt a surge of anxiety walking into the class, knowing that I wasn’t going to see any familiar faces of people that I knew.Humans too.After mentally giving myself the pep talk, I mustered up the remaining courage in me before walking in.I could feel all their eyes on me like I was some prey ready to be attacked, but none felt as daring as the familiar pair of eyes.Noah.I sucked in a harsh breath as our eyes met. He was sitting in the back of the classroom, his eyes fixed on me. I felt a shiver run down my spine as our eyes met. Why did he have to be in my class?The teacher, Mrs. Johnson, as written on her tag, smiled at me and ushered me to come forward. "Class, I'd like you to welcome our new student, Delilah Alexandra," she said.I felt my face heat up as all eyes turned to me. I hated being the center of attention. Mrs. Johnson continued, "Lily will be joining our
Lily’s POVThe noise in the cafeteria was deafening, with students laughing and chatting as they ate their lunch.Anna grabbed my arm, pulling me towards the food counter. "Let's get some food first," she said, smiling.I wanted her to go on with telling about Noah and his squad.I followed her to the counter. We picked up trays and started selecting our food. I opted for a sandwich and a salad, while Anna chose a pizza and a drink.As we searched for an empty table, we spotted one, “So as I was saying earlier…”I raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Yeah?” I asked settling my butt down.Anna leaned in, a conspiratorial look on her face. "They're known as 'The Kings.' There are four of them; they’ve been friends since freshman year. There's Asher, Jason, Liam, and Noah."I felt a shiver run down my spine as Anna mentioned Noah's name. I tried to push the feeling aside, focusing on what Anna was saying.Gosh!I hated how much effect he had on me; it was alarming, way too alarming for my liki
Lily’s POVI walked out of the cafeteria, wiping off my tears with the back of my hand. I had been trying to hold it together, but the whole crap that has happened tonight is just overwhelming.I felt like I was going to break down at any moment.I don’t like it here; I want to go home.Whatever danger is lurking back home is far better than dealing with the bunch of spoilt brat humans and my goddamn best friend.Ex-best friend, rather.As I turned a corner, I bumped into someone. Again. It was the same guy I had bumped into in the bathroom earlier. He looked at me with a mixture of surprise and annoyance."Do you have courtesy for crying or what?" he asked, his voice firm but not unkind. "What's up?"I felt a surge of embarrassment and hurt. I didn't need this right now. I tried to push past him, but he caught my arm."Hey, wait," he said, his voice softer now. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to snap at you. You just seem upset."I looked up at him, feeling a lump form in my throat. He was
Lily’s POVI kept turning and tossing but still couldn’t get the good sleep I had imagined myself to get after a long day in school. The whole feeling of moving and what had happened lately kept my mind busy with different thoughts.I was left uneasy.Finally puffing out a sigh in frustration, I got up, deciding to clear my head out, probably in the woods.I miss going on our night runs with Dad, even though I still haven’t got my wolf blooming; I ride on him.As I stepped out, the cold air hit my skin, making me feel the chills run down my spine.The moon was full overhead, casting an eerie glow over the trees.As I walked further into it, I knew I was getting a little too far, but my curiosity kept pushing me to walk further.For a moment there, I felt like I was the only one on earth. The silence was serene.My heart dropped as I sighted a group of wolves, their eyes burly and big, looking at me like their prey, which I was.Fuck!Rogues!Shit!*Stop her.* I ran as fast as I coul

Lily’s POVI woke up feeling refreshed and relaxed. It was the weekend, which meant no school for the next two days. I was looking forward to sleeping in, watching movies, and maybe going for a run or something.Anything to keep me busy.As I rolled out of bed, my phone buzzed with an incoming call from my mom. I smiled, feeling a surge of excitement. I hadn't talked to my mom in a while; it made me miss our usual conversations, which had to do with mostly my rants or sometimes Mom’s.We had a relationship that was beyond a mother-and-daughter bond; we were almost like besties. I was eager to catch up.I slid the answer button.“Hey Mum,” I greet the excitement rolling off my tongue.Our conversation carried on mostly on how Seattle has been treating me.And honestly, without Maya, Adam, and Anna, I’ll probably be packing my bags back home.They make Seattle less, well… what’s the word again? You know what? I am sure you know what I mean.As we talked, I got dressed in a comfy bump
Lily’s POVI walked into the gym class, feeling a sense of dread. The gym has always been my least favorite activity in school.I don’t know about this school, but back home I never miss a chance to ditch school.The news of being Noah’s family maid had circulated real fast, like wildfire, even though I was less bothered; it didn’t feel good being known around here.Especially now that I am a prime target. As I changed into my gym clothes, I could feel the queen bee and her friends staring at me. They were whispering and giggling, and I knew I was in for a long class.“Hey!”Anna greets as she adjusts her hair.“Hey! You look ready for the gym " I complimented seeing as how she looked a little bit too excited.“Well, what can I say?” she giggled.The teacher blew her whistle, and we all gathered around her. "Today, we're going to play dodgeball," she announced, handing out the balls.The queen bee and her minions snickered and whispered to each other, casting dirty glances my way. I
Lily’s POV I walked out of the school building, my eyes falling on Asher waiting for me by his car. "Hey there," he said, smiling. "I'm here to take you home." I raised an eyebrow, feeling a little surprised. "Thanks, Asher," I said, getting into the car. "I didn't expect you to offer me a ride. And it’s fine; let me save you the trouble... I can walk myself home." Asher shrugged, starting the engine. "I figured you might need a ride, and yes, I don’t find it as troublesome dropping a beautiful wolf home," he said. "Plus, I wanted to talk to you about something." My eyes narrowed at him suspiciously. “Am I safe?” He chuckles, “C’mon, let’s get going, princess.” I settled into the car; he shut the door, walking to his side. "So, Lily, have you made any wolf friends?" he asked, glancing at me sideways. I shake my head, “Nope, they seem to be hard to find… a lot harder than I thought” He chuckles, “We’re very few,” he responds. “I can see,” I respond with a nod. Asher nodded
Lily’s POV I was in my room alone a while ago when Maya stepped in and asked me to help her with her homework. We're working on a math problem, and Maya is struggling to understand it. I'm trying to explain it to her in a way that makes sense. I can see that hating math runs in the family blood because it is the same subject Noah has a problem with, but he is getting the hang of it now. I guess. Just as Maya is starting to get it, Noah walks into the room. "Hey, Maya, can I talk to Lily for a minute?" he asks. Maya looks up at me. Her brows furrowed in confusion because she was aware that Noah and I don’t get along so well; she looked a bit confused. But I nod. "It's okay, Maya. I'll be right back." But before Maya can get up, Noah says, "No, Maya, I mean you should excuse us and go to your room, he asks impatiently.Whatever it was he wanted to discuss could wait; right now I was helping Maya, and I didn’t want to be interrupted, or should I say, I wanted to use her as
Lily’s POVIt's been a week since that heated session with Noah. I still get tingling at the thought of it; I didn’t miss any chance I got to avoid Noah.And I could say I was doing a very good job. On the other hand, Asher and I were building a mutual understanding kind of relationship even though I asked him to take things slow, but so far I like him.I won’t say love, but like rather, he was better than Noah.Nicer, you mean... my instinct protests.Yeah! Whatever.I'm in the kitchen with Aunt Jess, making breakfast. She's scrambling eggs while I'm toasting bread.Aunt Jess turns to me and asks, "So Lily, how's school going? How has Seattle been treating you?" "It's going okay, Aunt Jess," I reply, trying to sound casual as though I wasn’t reminiscing about my heated moment with her son.Gosh! Aunt Jess smiles and says, "That's great, sweetie. I'm glad to hear that. Just then, Noah walks into the kitchen, shirtless and wearing only sweatpants. I feel my face heat up as I try
Lily’s POVI stood in front of the mirror, adjusting my outfit for what felt like the hundredth time. I was wearing a pair of dark-wash jeans, a white shirt, and a black jacket.I didn’t want to overdress; I just wanted to wear something casual and comfortable, and this was what I could find. This is a friendly date, nothing more. looked good, I checked my phone for what felt like the hundredth time, waiting for Asher's call. The only reason I agreed to this date is because I wanted to provoke Noah. I wanted him to know that he didn’t have a say in my life. My thoughts come short when the door bursts open, revealing a tempered scowl on his face. "What is it, Noah?" I asked, trying to sound casual. "You're not going anywhere," Noah said, his voice firm.I raised an eyebrow, feeling a surge of annoyance. "What are you talking about?" I asked. "You're not going on a date with Asher," Noah said, his eyes flashing with anger. I laughed at his audacity. "You have no ri
I’m sorry this book will officially be on hold till further notice but in the meantime you can read my other books. Thank you all that supported me and looking forward to seeing your love on my other books.
Lily’s POV I walked into school, still feeling the lingering effects of my heated argument with Noah last night. I hiss at the thought. He had no right to do what he did or say that. I was still fuming about it. I didn't understand why Noah couldn't just leave me alone. He doesn’t want me. He made that clear, so what the hell does he want with me? As I walked down the hallway, I bumped into Tiffany. Oh no! Not today. I wasn’t in the mood for her nonsense, but Tiffany never got the message. She was standing with her squad, looking like she owned the place. "Well, well, well, look what we have here," Tiffany said, raising an eyebrow at me. "If it isn't little Lily, the housemaid." I felt a surge of annoyance at her tone, but I tried to ignore her. ", Tiffany, please, not today. I am not in the mood for this. I tried to walk past her, but she restricted my movement. I groaned. Tiffany wasn't having it. "Listen, Lily, I need to warn you," she said, her voice d
Lily’s POV I walked to the section of the house where Noah lived, feeling uneasy. I had agreed to tutor him, but I wasn't sure if I was ready for this. If I had a choice, I’d be in my room cuddled up and reading one of Catherina Maura’s books, daydreaming about my prince charming. Yet here I was, trapped with a godforsaken arsehole that didn’t deserve my time. As I approached the door, I expected to hear a few noises, yet the place sounded like a cemetery, almost like there was no living creature, but I could pick up Noah’s scent. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door. The door opened shortly, and I was graced with the sight of Noah standing before me, shirtless and wearing only a pair of sweatpants. I felt my eyes widen as I took in the sight of his chiseled chest and abs. I couldn't help but stare. Noah raised an eyebrow, a smirk spreading across his face. "You like what you see?" he asked, his voice low and husky. I felt my face heat up with embarrassment, and I q
Lily’s POV. As the class came to an end, I packed up my things and prepared to leave. But just as I was about to walk out the door, the teacher, Mr. Johnson, called out to me and Noah. "Lily, Noah, can I have a word with you both?" he asked his voice firm but friendly. My heart dropped, wondering if I was in trouble or something. I am trying to get through my senior year with no troubles, and a teacher has never stopped me after class. It made me wonder what I did this time. I turned to Noah, wondering what this was about. Noah raised an eyebrow, looking just as curious as I was. We walked over to Mr. Johnson's desk, and he looked at us both with a serious expression. "Noah, I've been looking over your grades, and I have to say, I'm a little disappointed," he said. "You're not performing as well as I know you can." Noah looked down, his eyes avoiding Mr. Johnson's. "Sorry, sir," he muttered. Mr. Johnson nodded. "I know you can do better, Noah. And that's why I'm assigning you
