Bitter Truths

"I don't trust you," I sit stiffly in the passenger seat of Blaze's black Audi R8, the fast sportscar has me uncomfortably close to him.

When a werewolf chooses to drive rather than run on his own, it's clear that he's just decided to go to a human city.

The car is small, and Blaze's tall frame sits the entire car full, his long legs has his knees up on the sides of his steering wheel. His elbow rests on his thigh, and he's so close that all I can smell is his strong scent and it's like I can feel his eyes on me without him looking at me.

His light scoff makes me turn my head and I glare at him, "I'm serious," My arms cross over my chest, and he glances at me, but not at my eyes, no, his steel blue orbs are staring at my breasts.

"Eyes on the road, Blaze!" | yell at him.

His low chuckle has me rolling my eyes, "It's not my fault that you're flaunting them," he winks.

"Are you flirting with me?" | ask baffled, because in no life time would Blaze Sinclair flirt with me, and the worlds is set right when he answers my question.

"I'm flirting with your boobs Air, not you," the disgust on his face makes me feel calmer, or should I be worried that he's attracted to my breasts?

The silence has clearly made him read me like an open book,

"I'm not going to do anything to you, calm your tits." he snorts, speaking as if touching me would be the last thing he'd do.

"I wouldn't even let you if you tried," I shrug, the fact that Blaze doesn't seem attracted to me, the real me, is soothing. He has no expectations, and there's nothing to live up to.

"Where are we going?" I ask, filling the silence that's suffocating me. I'm not used to quiet, Nicky was always babbling, and so was Monty and it's baffling how compatible they are and the worst part is, I've never noticed until I found them shacking up together. I don't know how I could have been so blind, I don't know how I missed this.

I glance at him, staring at his sharp jaw, I watch as his eyes narrow on the road, "Did you know?" the words slip out of my mouth, and I couldn't stop it.

"About?" He asks confused, but he knows what I'm talking about. He's not sly at all, even if his idiotic brain thinks he is.

"You know what, don't act like a fool." I sneer. His silly act only angers me, and I really don't want to pay attention to him but I can't ignore him because he's bound to get his parents to intervene. I force myself to zone back into the car, and I find myself still looking right at him.

Blaze's broad shoulders sink as he adjusts, sighing as he turns his head and looks right at me.

"I didn't know," his eyes say more than what his mouth does, but even if I ask, he won't say anything more.

building inside of me is starting to take control of my entire body, and I gently lower my hands, running them down and up my thighs. The friction makes my legs hotter, but the fiery vibration coursing through me doesn't fade.

"Friday?" Blaze sounds surprised, and it already answers my question.

"Yes, Friday." I grit out, grabbing the front of his leather seats, my nails digging into the material.

"I was at an event with my parents." His honesty means a lot to me, but I won't ever forgive him for all the year's shit he has given me. He's not a sudden friend, but I'd consider saying that I know him.

I gulp down the lump in my throat, the bitter taste of betrayal dances on my tongue and vile rises.

I honestly thought that Nicky was studying for our last exam the following week, but I should've known that was strange.

"I'm a fu*king idiot," I scoff, irritated with myself when I realized that I said that out loud.

"An idiot? Well I'm sure the valedictorian is the opposite of an idiot." his sarcasm doesn't have any effect on me.

I'm used to his sarcastic remarks, his vile words and name calling, but sitting beside him, watching him drive to Goddess knows where, I feel calm instead of rage, which is what I always felt at the sight of him.

"Look Air, this isn't the time to be morose,",

"Wow," I scoff, smiling slightly, "You know a smart word," I tease, because if I don't, I will cry- and I think that I have cried enough for a lifetime.

"I may not be valedictorian, but I know things." He grins, seeming so proud of himself.

I'm surprised that he knew that word, I always thought that he was laid back and didn't care, I thought he didn't study and didn't care about school, all because he is the Alpha's son, and he doesn't need an education to get where he wants to be.

It's funny how I admire his life, because he just gets handed what he wants, yet I have been working years to escape and now I have nothing left...I have no way out and no money to do so too.

It all sucks, because if I knew this would happen, then I wouldn't have even done anything. I wouldn't have worked my ass off, and I wouldn't have saved a single penny and I would have bought everything my heart desired. My life has been a waste, and I now have nothing left...

No future, no education, no money, no best friend, no boyfriend and no parents.

How ironic is it that I've worked so hard just to end up with nothing?

"Are you crying?" Blaze snorts, his cold tone making me snap out of my thoughts and I realize my vision is blurry.

"No," I turn my head, looking out of the tinted window and I blink the unshed tears away. One thing Blaze will not see, is me crying over his best friend.

"Are we almost there?" I don't dare to look at him.

"Yeah, you see those city lights up front?"

I turn my head, looking in front of me to see nothing but darkness when I feel his fingers gripping my jaw and he turns my head and makes me face him, "Don't cry over Monty, because you lost nothing."

He grits out, staring into my eyes intensely and it makes me feel like he's staring into my soul.

I grind my teeth and slap his hand away, "The last thing I am crying about is Monty, so stop acting like you care." I snap.

The last thing I need is Blaze's false affection and I need him to stop acting like he cares.

I don't know what kind of game he's playing, but I want no part of it.

"I am don't care about you, but I can take you where you want to go." He said with a smirk in his tone.

It was then that I looked up and noticed where we had arrived.

He actually brought me to a bar in the human city the day before the graduation ceremony!

    "Blaze, I am not twenty one and neither are you." I seethe as he drags me towards the entrance of the nightclub.Does he even understand that places like this require ID and that you need to be 21 or older to come. Besides, the book says that bars are expensive and I don't have the money to pay for that right now.His large frame stops and he turns, grabbing me by the shoulders, "If you just relax, this night will be the best you'll ever have."The intensity I feel on my chest while he stares down at me is frightening because I've never felt more scared to trust someone. I never thought I would try and trust Blaze Sinclair.My shoulders raise as I inhale deeply, and instead of putting my trust in him, I put it in myself.I nod, and he stares at me, his eyes bouncing between mine as if trying to figure out if he could trust me.It's sort of ridiculous, because he abducted me and forced me to tag along."Just relax," he grins, turning on his heel and does the one thing I never thought h

    He callously threw me into the passenger seat, and I immediately sat up, intending to escape. He leaned into the car, pinning me beneath him, and threatened, "If you dare to go near him again, I'll tear him apart!"I saw the anger in his eyes up close for the first time, and I knew he wasn't joking. He would really do it.I had no choice but to turn my head away, refusing to look at him anymore.His fingers grip my jaw and he forces me to look up at him, "Answer me or I'll break your neck."I stand frozen, staring at him agape.How did I let him drag me along? How could I have considered trusting him?He's ruthless, heartless and I'm starting to wonder if he even has a soul."You're a fu*king lunatic! What did Ryan do to you?" | snap at him, swatting his hands away.He moved even closer to me and replied in my ear, "He shouldn't be near you!"What business is it of yours?!"

    "We're so late!" I squeal, as I run after Blaze towards the ceremony.Eyes, everyone's eyes are on us as we stride down the narrow path.The ceremony doesn't stop, and the headmaster continues to speak, but no one is listening to him. Everyone is looking at us and I could only imagine what people were thinking.Why am I showing up with Blaze?I would wonder it too. I would also want to know how someone like me could be arriving with him.He's gorgeous, strong and the future Alpha, and I'm just the drug addict's daughter, the nerd.I quietly sit down at my assigned seat in the front, only to be called onto the stage for my speech.

    Again? He's quite thethreatening handful! I had no choice but to enter the address of the apartment on my cell phone. I was thinking that I could enter a fake address, but thinking about how insidious he is as a person, it's better for me to tell the truth...And anyway, he was helping me, though I don't know why, maybe he was pitying me. My miserable life aroused his conscience I guess... Hours of driving has come to an end as we drive into the city.I roll down the window, the fresh air making me feel more awake as we drive under planted trees beside the road, it's overgrown and it casts a large shadow over the tar."Here we are." he asks baffled as we pull up beside a tall dark grey building. It looks neat, and it's in a good area. As I've looked in photos before, this will be where I start my new life!I hum in response before getting out, "Thanks for the ride,"I murmur, closing the door, baffled when he gets out too. He's not trying to get in, is he?"I'll just get my own bags

    Blaze's large veiny hands run up my sides, his fingers gripping me over my ribs. He tugs me closer, and for a second, all I can think of is all the girls he's ever kissed before.I push my palms against his hard chest and pull away."Wait!" I shake my head, but he stares at me with amusement, and with how close we are, it's impossible to really see the speckles of grey in his steel blue eyes.He doesn't let go of me, nor does he say anything and I'm very aware of his hands sliding down to my hips.As he squeezed it all over again he looked down and whispered in my ear in a voice full of lust, "Relax, I'm better than Monty."Fuck! Mentioning that asshole in a scene like that only reminds me of him fucking Nicky. Yeah, if Monty can fu*k my best friend, I can fu*k his."Yeah, well, I'll have to try."I let my arms fold and even before our lips touch again, Blaze has his arm wrapped around the small of my back and I kiss him.There is nothing soft and sweet about our kiss, and it was like

    For the next two days, I continued to try to arrange student loans, preparing some documents. I made countless calls, and the answers I got were all similar I needed at least a hundred thousand dollars in loans, and that didn't even include interest.Looking at the messages on my phone, my mind went blank. So much money, how was I supposed to earn it back?Setting down my phone, I lay back on the sofa, staring at the ceiling, racking my brain for part-time jobs I could do, ones that would allow me to earn money quickly. The amount was not something simple jobs could handle...Thud, thud, thud Suddenly, a knocking sound jolted me awake. I jumped up from the sofa and stumbled towards the door.It must be my acceptance letter arriving!Opening the door, when I saw a deliveryman in uniform, a surge of excitement and joy washed over me.The deliveryman smiled as he handed me the envelope, "Hello, here's your package.'

    One year later.I haven't contacted Aerilyn since that text message a year ago, for some reason I could feel her heart to run away and I wanted to fulfill it.This year has just been a constant learning curve for me, learning how to be a competent Alpha.Job after job, every week is something different in the pack. My father has made me participate in everything, including going to all the meetings with him.At first, I dealt with small arguments at school, then I had to speak at big meetings and even make decisions. It was frustrating, but every job taught me something.I knew it was the duty of a future Alpha to learn not only these jobs, but also the political laws of the human world. And periodically I had to take exams."More importantly the future puts all you learn to good use." that was my father's exact words.He was right, the exams wouldn't be much of a challenge for me, but it's simply hard to change the customs that the wolves have had for so many years, and I have to do

    BLAZE'S POVI went back to my room, trying to fall asleep, but my mind was spinning with images of Aerilyn.It was like flashing pictures of her popping up. How her shiny caramel hair flowed down her back in waves, how her honey orbs were pools of honey when the sun lit them up like fireworks.The way her plump lips part as she breathes, the way her cheeks turn a rosy red color... She's intoxicating, suffocating my thoughts every second of every day.I hate her for it, I hate how she controls me.No one controls me, not even my father.She slowly crept into my mind, planting her seeds everywhere before slowly taking over my mind, body and formed some sort of obsession just around her.Whenever my father asks about choosing a mate, since I can't find mine, I think of her. I think of her riding my cock, and it twitches, straining my pants in the most inappropriate places.I sit up, my body rigid, tight, tense and I sway back and forth stiffly.I need to get out of the pack, I need to es

I ask blandly, and his eyes widen, offense written all over his face."I told my parents I'd meet them there...", "Then take your own car, I have errands to run."

    Walking into the office, I can feel everyone's eyes on me, especially Julie's. She's in love with Ryan, and everyone can see it except for Ryan.He's a sweet man, but he's so oblivious to her affection. She brings him coffee every morning, and not the cheap kind, and I know she's been the one staring daggers at the back of me."Good morning," Ryan slides in beside me, and I ignore the rest as we head to a meeting in the conference room."Hi, Ryan," I beam as he snakes his arm around my back, squeezing me closer to him in a tight hug."Are you ready for it?" he grins, looking nervous and excited at the same time.I didn't plan on coming in this early, but when he called me this morning and told me there was a meeting, I quickly got ready and came in."I don't know what it is," I roll my eyes playfully, and his knowing grin intrigues me.Is he planning something?"Do you?"

    "Congratulations Aerilyn!"Everyone screams as I stride into the office, and Ryan hands me some flowers and a little jewellery box.I just won yet another case, and it was my two-thousand- case milestone.Overwhelmed by everyone's happiness for me, tears swell. I haven't changed the world, and I'm not even close, but I have changed the world for some people.This morning's case was especially close to home, so I fought for that woman with every ounce of energy I had.Ryan rests his hand on my shoulder, squeezing it as he stares at me with amazement in his eyes, and I recognize that look."Can I go home? It's been a long morning," I sigh, and Ryan looks slightly disappointed, but agrees, "You deserve it," and he's right. I do deserve it, because I have worked on that case for months."I'll see you tomorrow," I smile as I turn to leave.I feel terrible that I didn't stay for the cake I noticed, but I don't want Ryan to think that I'm romantically interested in him like he is in me.I fe

    "Ryan, where are we going?" | whisper as we sit in the back of his father's limo.Ryan's family is very rich, and he's been a very good friend since we met each other in law school.We've become study buddies, and probably inseparable since, but I have noticed that he likes me, but I think I have made it very clean that all I want is to be friends."I don't know," he sighs, looking concerned.I've been looking for jobs for a few months, and now that we've finally graduated, I really want to get one.I've saved enough to live comfortably for a long time, but I want to work.I want to help the people who can't help themselves."What do you mean you don't know? Isn't this your car?" | ask baffled.Ryan always came to school in this car, it dropped him off and picked him up."No, this is my dad's." he clarifies, and it's baffling that they have the same vehicle."Why are we in your dad's limo?" I snort.This feels ridiculous, because how do these people have more money than us?What do th

    -- Years of chasing men away, scaring them that they abandon Aerilyn has been a hoot, but what amused me the most was when I had her parents locked up, for good. It took a few months of spying, getting to know their routine and hidden cameras all over the pack to catch them, and a few other's. I locked up the drug dealer first, and then they followed him right to the cells along with their addict friends. The look on their faces was priceless, and even though they pleaded for me not to do it, I felt no remorse, because all I saw was Aerilyn on the floor, her tear-stained cheeks and ceramic pieces stuck in her hair and the cuts. All the people who were under the influence fell after, but they were my priority, because it was personal. After all the over looking on people who were struggling, I've begun to notice what Aerilyn has been talking about, and there wasn't much I could do at first, but after a night out following her to a busy restaurant, I've realized that the pack need

I yell as he strides up and down, heaving while doing so.Blaze freezes, turning to look at me with a cold gaze, "You are the one who's making things difficult," he spits and my jaw drops, "Excuse me?" I glare at him.He snorts, rolling his eyes as he turns his head, "You heard me," he sneers, his teeth grinding against each other as he tries not to yell at me.My fingers dig into the cushions below me as anger pulses through my veins, "I am not the one making things difficult, you did that!" I point at him, "You are the one who was stupid enough to mark me!", "I'm not stupid!" he whips around, glaring at me, his eyes dark and filled with hatred. "You did a stupid thing! That makes you stupid!" I wish I could use his rolling eyeball as a bowling ball because then I'd have a full strike,"Stop telling me I am stupid!" he growls, his deep demand doesn't affect me."But you are, and you're even more stupid if you think I will go back to that hell hole!","It's not

I ask baffled, not knowing if I heard him right.It could be my own spiraling mind playing tricks on me, even if I doubt it is, but it is a possibility.

"Have you forgotten why I left in the first place?" I yell."Air,", "Aerilyn," I snap,correcting him. I don't want him giving me a nickname, I don't want him dragging me home because he made a big mistake."Come on," he inches closer, but for every step he takes towards me, I take two steps back."No," I grit out. "I can protect you," his head leans forward, his gorgeous bright eyes pleading with me, but there is no way in hell that I will ever go back there.A wave of nausea hits me, hard.
