Hilltop High was a school full of dramas and chaos and we have been getting them in full dosage these past weeks. Especially with the annihilation news. My friends told me that Eclipse pack planted a human spy in our school, to get hybrids who might be hiding their identity, with a huge amount of money as a prize for it.
All hybrids and their families, well except mine, they don't really care if I was annihilated or not, had been in panic since then.I had been thrown into too much chaos that I almost forgot about the annihilation, I've had too much to deal with. But when I got to school this morning, I was forced back to reality. The reality of people like me. The hybrids.Three students from my school had gone missing, and their families were all over the place, the panic from everybody had increased because all the three students were hybrids. Nobody needed a fortune teller to tell us that the annihilation had begun.Tracy wasMy heart raced as I stood fixed to the ground in front of Zayne, who was still sitting criss crossed on the floor of the basketball court. After he said those words, there was deafening silence in the large hall.Zayne Marshall just admitted to the murder allegations. He had taken a person's life. And he didn't look remorseful. Who was I kidding? He just said he doesn't regret it.At this point, I wasn't sure I was supposed to hear his confession. I was starting to regret ever coercing him to tell me the truth. Now I didn't know what to do with the dark information."Zayne, " I called, my voice quivering with a mix of fear and some other emotion I could figure out. "D...did y ..you say what I just .... heard you say? Or did I mishear you?" I stammered."You wanted the truth. There you fucking have it! Do what you please with it!" Zayne yelled. I noticed his voice was now a little shaky.I knew Zayne was very strict and hot tempe
The four of us in the basketball court had to take few seconds to processe the new shocking information in our brain.And when it finally sank in, the twins and I expressed our shock in unison, "What?!""What the hell?" One of the twins said."Are you sure it's Russell's? You could be mistaken." The other twin tried reasoning."I'm not dumb Jayson. This is Russell's mobile number." Zayne replied, sounding a bit annoyed that Jayson asked the question."Chill bro. Was just asking.""What could they have met for? " Jayson asked rhetorically.I cleared my throat before saying, "Uhmmm, guys, I really think we shouldn't jump into conclusions. Plus, I've met Russell once and I don't think he's that kind of person.""Sweetheart, I know what you mean but you only met him once." One of the twins replied to me, I couldn't tell if it was sarcasm or.not."Yeah, I actally agree with Dahlia. It's hard to picture Russell like that. He's like the kindest soul I know. And let's not forget that Russell a
Zayne's soft expression made my heart flutter, releasing butterflies in my stomach. Though the physical pain from the attack still hurt but Zayne coming to her rescue when she could have been killed and his visible show of concern, tended to her wounds and made it hurt less.Zayne cleared his throat and picked up her bag that had been displaced during the scuffle, from the ground and handed it to her. "Follow me. You need to treat your wounds. "I glanced at my shoulder and looked at him raising my eyebrows, "Uhmmmm, follow you to where?" He gave me a blank look, "Do you want treat your wounds or rather leave it to rot?" Now that was the Zayne I was used to. The sarcastic and arrogant Zayne Marshall, who actually cares but pretends like he doesn't."Let's go then." I agreed and we went together.After riding with Zayne in his car for over twenty minutes, I was starting to wonder where on earth we were heading to, and that was
Kendall's sinister smile sent a cold shiver down my spine as I watched her sip the tea she was offered."Dahlia, what are you doing there? Come over here and sit down already! You kept your friend waiting for almost an hour!" My grandmother scolded.What?!Kendall had been with my grandmother and aunt for an hour?!"By the way, you should have told me that you were friends with Kendall Forrest. I would have asked you to invite her for dinner or something. She's such a sweet girl. She even offered to make tea for us. " My grandmother praised Kendall, looking at her with a proud smile on her face, something she had never done to me, her granddaughter.Then it clicked and my eyes widened with alarm. I rushed over to the table where the cups of tea sat."Kendall made you tea?! Are you okay?!" I asked, what if she had already poisoned them before I came."What do you mean?" My aunt asked , eyeing me.I scanned their
I sat there in the meeting, dumbfounded and speechless. When my grandmother told me that the pack invited me to their meeting for the first time, I didn't know how to react. I couldn't tell what the motive behind inviting me was, whether it was good or bad. I started overthinking. Were they finally going to accept me as a hybrid? But I certainly did not expect to hear that my own pack wanted to get rid of me to gain more power.My mother grew up with these people, she was a bonafide member of the pack before she died and during all these years that they didn't accept me and singled me out , I just believed that that was my face and accepted it but I never knew a day like this will come.A day when my pack will tell me to my face that they want to get rid of me, that they intend to sell me out to the annihilators. Werewolves in a pack see one another as more than families, they would do anything to protect their pack members but seeing how my pac
Zayne was wearing a yellow apron , covering in flour and holding a packet of sugar , staring back at me wide eyed. "Wha ..... what are you doing here? " Zayne sputtered. I gestured towards the front door , "I ... I don't know. " My head hung low , "I really don't know what I'm doing here or how I got here ....."He dropped the packet of sugar in his hands to focus his full attention on me , "What do you mean you don't know? You show up at my house at past ten in the evening and then you say you don't know how you got here. Are you joking? " His tone was dripping with sarcasm as usual."I ... Something happened .... so I ran and ended up here. I really don't know how I got here. I guess I needed my peace and quiet , and your house has just that. I can leave if you want me to. What was I even thinking coming to your secret place without your permission? " I muttered the last part and was already moving towards the door to go out. I'd have to find a place to stay for tonight or just su
The wound was still fresh as it was the day I got it. As a werewolf, when I got a wound from natural cause, it healed immediately and if it was caused by a werewolf like me, it takes few hours to be healed. But it's been weeks since I was bitten by the eclipse pack member and I was yet to heal. I raised my t-shirt to also see that the wound on my side was yet to heal as well. I checked for where Madison usually kept her first aid box and when I found it, I cleaned the wound and replaced that bandage. But deep down in me , I knew that the cleaning of the wounds and changing the bandages wasn't the reason why I was yet to heal. There was something wrong somewhere and I was almost a hundred percent sure that it had to do with that member of the eclipse pack that bit me. After contemplating for a while, I picked up my phone and texted the only person I could ask about this because I was worried and scared. *Do have a minute to spare?* After few seconds , my phone's screen lit up and a
I was frozen on my seat as I listened to "THE" Mason Klein ask me out on a date. With my wolf hearing I could hear my friends encourage me to say yes to him. Mason Klein was good looking , a top student , nice, respectful and had a good reputation in school. He was also wolfless and stays off trouble. He was like perfection in form of a human being. There was nothing to dislike about him. He looked and gave the aura of a perfect boyfriend. He was so perfect that him asking me out was like a dream. Maybe the moon goddess was finally shining a positive light to my direction. Maybe it was time to move on from Zayne Marshall , my mate that rejected me and wouldn't deny or accept his connection with another girl. So I looked up at Mason and replied , "Yes. I'll go on a date with you. "I saw my friends give a victory fist pump from the side of my eye and Mason smiled brightly , obviously happy that I accepted his date offer.
Santiago's POVKnock knock knock."Yh, come in." He replied sprawled on the bed."Santiago the kids and I need you downstairs." Derrick simply said."What is it about? Besides I thought they were supposed to be in their respective homes sleeping through the day." He said raising himself from the bed."I know right but urgent matters requires urgent attention." Derrick replied with his hands on his waist."Did something go wrong with Henry?" He asked slowly with his eyes down."You know already. He wants to bring the poor boy before the high members and that would be the death of the kid." He explained."Look are you helping us or not?" "And why would you of all people ask me that?" I am obviously still here so I can help in whatever way I can and you are asking me if I am helping or not." Santiago replied looking at Derrick whilst shaking his head."You could have saved us this stress by coming with me immediately I mentioned it instead of us having a discussion." Derrick said and tu
Madison's POV"Is everything okay sweetheart?" Her mother asked when she saw how her countenance had changed."Yes. Everything is fine." She said and continued helping her mother cook."Baby, I know when something is wrong with you and you do not have to hide anything from me afterall I am your mother and we share quite a lot of things with each other." Her mother pressed further."Is this about the search team?" She asked."Yes mom. It is." She said playing with her nails."Do you care to share?" Her mother said and took her by the arm to the dining table so they could sit."Actually, we found the spy at the party." She started."Ohh, my goodness. That is such wonderful news." Her mother said beaming with smiles."But we can not gain easy access to where he thinks Garrett keeps the hybrid. It is in a supposed basement in his chambers and Derrick and the alpha have been against going to look for Dahila since it is a very dangerous thing for unskilled people like us." She continued."
Garrett's POV"Have you seen what Dahila and her little friend have been up to?" He asked his bodyguard who just entered his room."Good morning alpha." The bodyguard greeted."I asked you a question which I was requesting an answer to not some greetings." He replied with a straight face."I am sorry alpha. I have no idea what they have been up to it kare since I have been putting things together for the annihilation day." The bodyguard explained and apologized."And you preparing for the annihilation does not make you create time to see what they have been doing? How then did you make it to becoming my bodyguard if you can not even multitask or place eyes on them?" He asked tilting his head sideways so he could get a better view of the bodyguard whose face was slightly bent towards the floor."I am sorry alpha. I was just carried away but that but I promise to make amends." He apologized."You ruined the fun already, you are no fun." Garrett replied shaking his head negatively."Do n
Madison's POV"Are you kidding me right now?" She said furiously."I should have asked to meet someone whom I do not know besides even if we had met I would still not have agreed to go out with you." She fired at Theodore."What do you take me for? I am just so glad I even did not ask to see you cause how would it have felt and sounded to the ears learning that my boyfriend sold out my best friend?" She questioned laughing softly."Asides the issue you have from home with your mom's illness and that of your dad. You are a psychopath who needs to be treated because no sane person will think the way you do or act like you have been acting."Madison said without holding words back."Calm down Maddie. It will be fine." Abigail said hugging Madison trying to calm her down."Did you use the abduction method for other hybrids too?" Derrick continued his questioning."I have nothing to do with the abduction. My job is just for me to fish out the hybrids and then the rest is left to Garrett."
"Santiago will you just spill the person's name and stop with this suspense." Zayne said frustrated."Calm down Zayne. It is just hard for each and everyone of us to process and say this." Xavier said."Zayne I told you to comport yourself. Jason and Jayden what are you doing guys doing to control what Zayne is doing?" Derrick said flaring up."He is far from the poolside. We made him leave cause of a scenario like this." Jason sighed and replied.Bang bang bang."I think that might be Zayne." Abigail said with fear in her eyes."Santiago open up." Zayne ordered from outside."Do you think it is okay to let him in?" Madison questioned."Let him in since he is there." Derrick responded."Okay." Xavier said looking at everyone's face as he walked towards the door."Leave it. I will get the door." Santiago replied."Alright." Xavier simply said and went back to take a seat."What took you so long to get the door open?" Zayne asked immediately Santiago opened the door."Deliberations from
Abigail's POV"I can not believe people were really going to turn up this much." She said surprised at the number of people present at the party."I am a little surprised but not too surprised. Even students other than those from our class are present, see that girl over there she is not in our class and a few others that I cannot even spot right now." Abigail replied."It still does not matter if they are from our classes or not. When it is time for the game we are going to get everyone's phones off them. We never can tell if the spy had an accomplice among us." Zayne responded to what the girls were discussing through the earbuds."We have got it boss." Madison replied."Everyone seems to be enjoying the party and most especially the pool's view." Abigail said smiling brightly."Yh, it is a great party. Thanks to the organisers and the host." Madison replied."You are most welcome and it is a pleasure to host this party and see to the satisfaction of our guests." Derrick replied swe
Zayne's POV"It is so fun and sweet to have everyone of us around, together." He said and jumped on his bed."Wow. This room is so big one could mistake it for an expensive suite." Xavier said looking around in awe."Do not even get me started Xavier. This is obviously a suite." Jason said eating a burger."Most rooms here are of suite's standard." Jayden explained."I am so jealous of you guys. You have all you need at your fingertips." Xavier said sitting on the bed and felt the softness of it."Come on Xavier." Zayne said."Jason look what you did to my bed." Zayne yelled."I did nothing wrong." He said running out of the room."He spilled ketchup on your bed right?" Jayden asked laughing."You know it already." Zayne said frustrated."I did not even know Jason was this annoying." Xavier said laughing."Well, I am glad you guys are seeing it now. It is becoming glaring." Jayden said smiling."Let us go prepare for the party. Time is not on our side." Zayne said.Knock knock"Come i
"Your dad is such a nice and sweet young-old man." She said to the twin when their father was out of sight."Yh, thank you." Jason replied."You have probably coiled your way into his heart too." Jayden added."How do you mean?" Abigail questioned curiously."You girls just gave him one of his best wines." Jason answered."Ohh wow. We did not even know it was one of his favorite." Madison replied happy."Now you do " Jason said playfully."That particular one was the one he went to get the day he met our mom." Jayden said blushing."Ohh please. I am bored to death with having to hear that story countless times." Jason said trying to shut Jayden up."Come on Jason, do not ruin the moment. I am sure Jayden wants to tell the girls and they are more than willing to listen." Zayne said coming to Jayden's rescue."Thank you so much Zayne." Jayden said looking at Jason with the corner of his eyes."You are welcome bro." Zayne replied."So they met at this wine store and I guess it was love a
Jayden's POV"Erm guys, I think there is something we might not have fixed yet." He whispered to Zayne and Jason."And what might that be?" Zayne answered whispering back."I just hope we do not get caught by the boring history teacher because I still do not want to get sent out if class or get in his bad books even if his class is dead boring." Jason said trying to caution Zayne and Jason."Will you just..." Zayne was saying when the history teacher walked up to him."Zayne would you love to share your opinion with the class instead of whispering around?" The teacher asked."As a matter of fact, I think you three should tell us what you know." The teacher said insisting."Now we have finally landed ourselves in trouble." Jason muttered to himself."Were you saying something Jason? Why not go the front of the class and tell us all you know." The teacher said facing Jason in particular."I was not saying anything sir and I do not have anything to say to the class cause I have not read
