The Bet and the Lycan Prince Chapter 7
Aryan-Why do I bother drinking? Every time I do, I either drink too much and forget everything, or I don’t drink enough and end up doing something foolish and remembering everything. I didn’t know if it was a good thing or a bad thing that I don’t remember what happened Friday night.The last thing I remember was Kierian and the others showing up to the party, but after that everything was foggy. I vaguely remember Kierian kissing me, but I hoped it was just a dream. If he really did kiss me, I would never be able to live down the embarrassment I felt.If it weren’t for Lilly telling me that Kierian took me home, I wouldn’t have known how I arrived. So, when I woke up Monday morning, I wanted to pretend to be sick, so I could avoid the ridicule I was sure to face. The best thing for me to do was just act like I didn’t remember anything and go about my day as if nothing happened.Not that it would be hard since I really didn’t remember anything. Giving myself a pep talk, I made my way

Aryan-As soon as school was over, instead of heading home, I went to sit on the bleachers, by the football field. I still couldn’t believe I had agreed to the bet. More than that, I can’t believe I had initiated the bet.Groaning, I grabbed my bag and pulled out the homework I had for the day. Maybe I could just focus on my homework and worry about the rest later. As soon as I opened my book and started on my work, I heard someone jogging up the bleachers.I didn’t need to look up to know it was Kierian making his way toward me. Werewolf or not, Kierian’s presence demanded attention. Lycans had a very distinctive scent to them, that could attract anyone, including humans.They each had a different scent, but Kierian’s scent was the strongest. At least I noticed whenever he was nearby. I didn’t know if it was like that for everyone, or if it was just because I was more familiar with his scent. He had a deep woodsy smell, mixed with a hint of vanilla, along with the scent of night.It

Aryan-Standing in the gym, as I waited, I felt a little uncomfortable. Cheerleaders were still lingering after practice, either talking or coming out to the girl’s locker room. With my hands folded behind my back, I kept to the background, hoping no one would notice me.Kierian hadn’t been inside the locker room for long, so I knew it would take a while before he finished. Quietly walking along the wall, I slipped behind the stack of mats used for training. The stack was high enough that I didn’t need to crouch down.Peeking around the mats, I didn’t see anyone looking in my direction. As long as no one looked in my direction after leaving the locker room, I should be able to remain hidden. Every so often a cheerleader would exit, causing me to hold my breath until they walked off.When I was sure all the cheerleaders had finished showering and changing, my shoulders relaxed. There were a few girls that still lingered in the gym, but after ten minutes I thought I was in the clear. Tu

Aryan-While waiting for Callie to bring the fruit cake, coffee, and sandwiches for Kierian and me, we sat quietly. I wasn’t sure what to say or do. I still didn’t know what happened the night of the party and I kept thinking about the bet.Guilt chewed at me when thinking about the bet since it was just one more thing that I knew I was doing wrong. It was bad enough that I kept my identity from him, now I was hiding the fact I bet Brianna, I could get him to take me to the dance and game. At this rate, I wouldn’t blame him if he hated me, when he learned of the truth.At least Kierian seemed comfortable as he leaned back in his chair and looked around the café. His gaze met mine a few times, but they didn’t linger. The awkwardness that I felt was making me worried I would say something I shouldn’t.“This place is pretty cool. I expected things to get weird with me being here.” Kierian broke the silence.“Weird how?” I shifted in my seat awkwardly as this was exactly how he referenced

Aryan- When we left the café, I thought he might take me back to the school to grab my car, but he turned off the road, a mile from the school. Confused, I couldn’t remember him saying that we were going to be doing anything else. Looking out the window, I couldn’t think of anything that was in this direction that I knew. “What are we doing?” I asked when I could no longer figure anything out on my own. “I am not ready for this to be over, so if you don’t mind, I want to take you somewhere.” Kierian tightened his grip on the steering wheel, making me wonder why he was tensing up right now. “I don’t mind.” I lied. I did mind, but I couldn’t turn him down. Upsetting him was the last thing I wanted to do on top of all the wrong things I was already doing to him. If I could make his time with me a little bearable, perhaps he would let me off the hook a little. I had hoped to put an end to this outing with him, so I could process everything and not live in guilt all day long. Not want

Aryan-My attention stayed on him for a long time, after returning to his side to watch. I didn’t know why, but seeing his eyes narrow on his target, the set of his jaw, the way he turned his body slightly to adjust his stance, and the focus he held as he prepared the dart, made me fall in love with him all over again. Seeing him take this outing seriously, the memory of the bet came rushing forward.I knew that there was no way I could win this bet. If I won, I would want him to hate me. However, if I purposefully lost the bet, then maybe I would have a chance with him. I couldn’t tell him about the bet now, at least not until after the deadline, so he would see that I had lost on purpose.At least, that was the only thing I could think of that might salvage things. There was still the matter that he would hate me for lying to him about who I was. I had to believe that if I proved that everything between us was real, he would understand why I had to keep it from him.It was beyond me

Aryan-I was still reeling about my date with Kierian, the next day as I walked into my first class. Kierian was already sitting in his seat, with a wide smile when he looked up. Moving to my desk in the back corner, I saw a familiar brown paper sack on my desk.Once I sat down, I pulled the bag toward me, while turning it around. The logo of the café I took him to yesterday was on the bag. Tilting the bag so I could see inside, I saw a few pastries that I enjoyed from the café.“Good morning.” Kierian whispered as he leaned across the aisle.“Good morning.” I smiled at him, but not before making sure that Brianna wasn’t in the room.I knew that the more I spent time together with him, the more likely she would learn that we were on good terms. If possible, I was going to try to delay her learning of it. I mainly didn’t want her to cause more problems for me. To my relief, she didn’t show up for class.“Want to eat together today, for lunch?” Kierian asked once class was over, and we

Aryan-After school, I went straight to the football field to do my homework. Instead of sitting at the top like I normally do, I sat on the bench that the football players use, at the edge of the field. During practice, the girlfriends of the football players sat there.While I wasn’t technically a girlfriend, I thought it would be the best way to prove to Kierian that I was all in. There was still the guilt of what I had done to him, up until recently but I also felt guilty for always blowing him off or avoiding him when others were around. It did feel a little weird sitting with the girlfriends, as they kept looking at me and whispering to each other.Focusing on my homework, I tried not to even glance up at Kierian as he practiced. It wasn’t until after I finished that I gained more attention, or at least noticed more. As I was placing my books in my bag, I saw the girls who were sitting on the same bench, staring at me.Trying to ignore them, I watched Kierian as ran across the f

Aryan-Filled with raw and intense power, I could suddenly move again. Without hesitation, I kicked open the locker door. It felt like I was being swarmed with a tornado of wind. My hair blew wildly around me as I rushed toward Charlie.Instead of going straight for him, I moved past him slightly. Charlie’s eyes widened as I grabbed his wrist and twisted. I heard his bone snap as Kierian fell from his grasp. Without pausing, I wrapped my arms around Kierian and moved him to the far end of the hall.It wasn’t until I placed Kierian on the ground that I realized I had shifted into my Lycan form without realizing it. Just like the day at the hospital when I saved everyone, I touched my hand to Kierian’s chest to transfer my energy to him. He gasped as his eyes widened, and he jolted upright.Hearing something crackle behind me, I twisted around to see Charlie transforming into a beast I had never seen before. It was like he was part werewolf and something else entirely. His eyes were red

Aryan-“Are you okay?” Kierian was instantly at my side when I reached the basement.I struggled to remain upright, but I could feel my injuries already starting to heal. “I am fine. We need to figure out a different way to take him out. If you hadn’t seen, I couldn’t match his speed. His movements were too fast for me to get a single hit in.”“It might help if you shift into Lycan form.” Kierian suggested.“I tried, but he was relentless in his attacks.” I sagged onto a chair that Slater pushed toward me.“You haven’t been a Lycan for long, so it is understandable if you can’t shift in an instant whenever you want. We worked on things but never practiced shifting when under attack.” Slater stepped beside Kierian as he spoke.“I could shift down here and go up, but there isn’t a large enough passage. Maybe if I come out of hiding but stay distant from him, I could shift before attacking?” I looked between Kierian and Slater.“It could work, but…” Slater began.“You can’t risk exposing

Aryan- I tried not to think about Maize and Dexter for the rest of the weekend. I quickly realized my mistake the next day when we heard they had taken my warning and packed quickly. They left the house, and there were no signs of them anywhere. I know I shouldn’t have warned them. Slater made me realize I was likely in shock and had not thought things through. The Alpha King assured me they wouldn’t get away, but that didn’t make me feel better. I just hoped I didn’t make any mistakes when meeting Charlie today. The weekend had gone by in a blur, but I now had to focus. Standing outside, where Charlie was supposed to meet his son, I was extremely nervous. Kierian didn’t like the idea of me going alone, but I felt it was the only way to get Charlie to fall into our trap. He still didn’t like it, but I agreed to let him be close by just in case. Staying out of sight, I kept glancing at my phone to check the time. A few minutes before the agreed-upon time, I saw Charlie had arrived.

Aryan-Looking at the open folder, tears formed in my eyes as I saw a letter addressed to me from my father. Blinking away the tears, I picked up the first paper with shaky hands. It took a while for my eyes to focus, but I began to read aloud when they did.“My lovely daughter Aryan, I know this might come as a surprise to you, seeing as I failed to keep everyone safe. I know you thought highly of me and believed I could take on the world, but I am not a superhero. Since you are reading this, it means I failed to stop the evil that has been brewing for years. My most trusted Beta, Charlie, has betrayed me. I thought I could give him the benefit of the doubt when I started noticing things, but as it turned out, I was wrong. I didn’t realize how bad he was until it was too late. Your mother was also aware of this, but now that you are reading this, I know she didn’t survive. I hope that you can take care of your brother for us.”I stopped reading for a moment as I let out a strangled s

Aryan-While we waited for the witches to arrive, I worked on getting everyone set up. The girl, who hadn’t been subjected to being in wolf form, was known as Maddie. She was surprisingly very mature for her age. She helped find things for everyone since she was the one who knew her Pack the most.By the time we found a place for everyone, I was surprised to find out that the majority of her Pack were teachers, doctors, business owners, and so forth. Now, all we had to do was turn them back into humans. It was a good start.With people who could help rebuild the Pack, it made my life a little less complicated. The witches were due to arrive the following morning. We still had a few days before we needed to worry about Charlie. With an entire weekend, I wasn’t sure what to do.For the most part, the school was prepared for the final battle. All the teachers and students had finished reviewing everything, and Slater ran us through everything before we left. Slater said he would come by
The Bet and the Lycan Prince Chapter 67
Aryan-The following day, we skipped school to go to the Pack, where the Lycans disappeared. We weren’t sure how long we would need to deal with the situation. We didn’t know if it would be another situation, like when we were in Louisiana.It wasn’t a long drive, as it only took us an hour and a half to arrive. We didn’t know what to expect when we arrived, but this hadn’t been it. It looked like we pulled into a ghost town. The buildings looked like they were barely standing. Most had been burned, while a few looked like they had partially bulldozed.Only a few buildings remained, but even they looked like they had seen better days. Kierian stopped the car in the middle of the road, but no one got out. This time, we were in a large SUV since there were five of us, and we didn’t see the point in taking two vehicles.If not for the fact that we could sense others, we would have thought we had come to the wrong place. I also sensed the presence of another Lycan, but it was faint. Looki

Aryan- Over the next few days, we went through special training with Slater. Everyone, including the teachers, worked together to learn about the underground bunker until we all knew it by heart. We learned where every entrance was, including the hidden ones. I was surprised when one of the locations was inside my locker. Everyone was given a communication device and a suit to wear, which we were required to always wear just in case there was an attack. We didn’t think Charlie would show up yet since we didn’t know where he was. I still had to figure out a way to get him to come here. After school, me, Kierian, Connor, Liam, and Sylvie tried to learn more about the Pack that Connor and I visited. It took us a few days, but we managed to locate the Alpha that oversaw the Pack. He was a few years older than we were, so at least we thought it would be easy to talk with him. His name was Aaron, and he seemed nice. I wasn’t sure why he turned his Pack into a tourist spot, but that wasn’

Aryan-Once the students and teachers were in the auditorium, Kierian started telling the students what was going on. I was amazed at how flawless he was as he spoke. It was like he spent months practicing. With how his presence filled the room, I knew he was going to be an excellent leader.Unlike me, he didn’t stumble with his words. He got straight to the point. Everyone sitting in the auditorium was giving him their full attention. None of them blinked as he spoke or attempted to interrupt him. They looked eager even as they waited for him to finish.Everything I had told the teachers, he basically said the same, except in fewer words and with more confidence. When every student agreed to go through the testing to be able to help, I didn’t know why I was surprised. No one asked questions or doubted him, but that goes to show he was a well-respected future Alpha.From the front row of seats, Mr. Slater motioned for me to go to the exit door, that was left of the stage. We met by th

Aryan-Monday morning, I was a mess. I was fairly sure I had dark bags under my eyes that developed an hour after school started. I was nervous, and my fingernails have looked better, but I chewed them off as I kept circling the conference room, where the meeting would be held.Yesterday, I had everything planned out about what I would say to the teachers, but now it was like my mind was blank. I was rethinking my plan to get them involved. The only teacher I knew was on my side, was Mr. Slater, but that was a given.He was the only teacher that had arrived. While he sat in one of the many chairs around the oval table, I circled around the room. Kierian, Connor, Liam, and Sylvie sat in chairs along the wall, appearing to be completely confident.“You are going to burn a hole in the rug if you keep doing what you are doing.” Slater chuckled.“Easy for you to say, all of you look like this is just another Monday. You aren’t the ones about to ask innocent people to join you on a possible
