Chase POV
I pull Colt out of the gutter as he tries to get away from school. To my shock, I can hear our girlfriends in the bathroom trying to intimidate Arya. I close my hands into fists, and Colt pulls me away from the building before I go in and rip their heads off. What the fuck do they think they are doing?“Calm down, will you?” Colt yells out at me.“What are they doing?” I ask, and he shrugs his shoulder. Why are we behaving like this? Maybe we should sit and talk about this because we have never felt this protective about anyone before. This girl is doing things to us. And that’s not good. Not good at all.“Class is about to begin”, Colt lets out, and I nod my head slowly. We both get ourselves under control, and we walk back into the school as if nothing had happened.“Hey, where have you been?” Isabella asks, and I look at her from head to toe. She can feel my anger building up, and automatically she gets away from me before I even give her an answer. Danica doesn’t even approach us as she can feel our eyes on her. They both disappear into their classes, and as soon as we walk into ours, I feel my wolf move around in content. He enjoys Arya’a scent, and I have to say I like it too.I look at Cold, and he offers me a small smile. We walk to our seats in the middle of the room, sitting right behind Amy and Arya. This is going to be fun.“Hey Amy, do you have a pen?” I ask her as I offer her one of my most captivating smiles.“How about you bring your next time?” she barks at me as she passes it. I look at Arya that is now looking at us, and I offer her a full-on smile. I can see her cheeks go pink at the same time as she looks to the front of the classroom.Colt nudges me on my side to behave, but this is too good of an opportunity to let go.“Psst”, I say as I touch on Arya’s shoulder. She looks back at me.“What?” she whispers.“Are you enjoying the school?” I ask, and she shrugs her shoulders, turning to the front, trying to focus her attention on the class. I know she is trying, but she is getting distracted because Colt is being a dick, and he is nudging her chair from time to time so she can look back, and he can apologise, saying his legs are too long for the short desks. I can’t help but laugh. She is getting annoyed, and it won’t be long until she explodes. I can’t wait.“Mr Evans, do we have a problem?” the teacher asks as she clears her throat? We both look at her and offer her our puppy eyes and smile, and automatically she brushes it off and keeps on with the class.The class ends, and we both take our time shoving our stuff in our backpacks. We want to see where Arya is going. Amy and her get up and walk out of the room, and we follow them. As we are about to walk around the corner, Arya stops and faces us.“What the hell is wrong with you?”, She barks at me, pointing her finger at my chest.I look down at her, and I can’t help but smile.“I don’t have anything wrong with me, as you can tell”, I reply, and she takes a deep breath as she looks at Colt, and he shrugs his shoulder.“Why are you following me?” she asks, and Colt opens his mouth to reply, but I push her against the lockers trapping her between them and my big frame.“You see, I was just trying to get to my locker”, I reply as I pull my locker open. She darts her head to the side as she sees me open it and her cheeks go red again. Amy is standing next to Colt with panic all over her face.“The world doesn’t revolve around you, princess”, I say, almost with my lips touching hers.“You could have fooled me”, she says, escaping from between the small space between us. She grabs Amy’s hand and walks past Colt, pulling her down the corridor.“Bold move, bro”, Colt replies, and I shrug my shoulders.“Babe”, I hear Isabella say, and I feel a chill down my spine. Her voice is starting to annoy the shit out of me, and I honestly can’t explain why.“Love”, Danica says, wrapping her arms around Colt’s neck, and I can feel the tension irradiating from his body.“Are you coming to the party later?” Isabella asks, and I look at her as if she was an alien. Party what party?“What are you talking about?” I ask, and she offers me a smile.“I decided to throw a party later”, She replies, and I can’t help but roll my eyes.“It’s a school night, and we have patrol”, Colt replies, and Danica lets out a grunt.“You always have more important things than to spend time with us”, she says.“Maybe because we have responsibilities that are beyond your comprehension”, I let out, and she looked at us, annoyed. Colt takes one step away from her, and her arms fall in front of her.“Babe? Are you going to let him talk to me like that?” she asks.“You were asking for it”, Colt replies, shrugging his shoulder as he opens his locker and throws some books in and grabs another one out and shoves it into his backpack.“Whatever”, she replies, pulling Isabella away from me.“Those two are seriously starting to annoy me”, I let out, and Colt nods his head.“They are always on our case”, He tells me, and I agree with him.Arya POVIt’s lunchtime, and Amy decided we were going out for lunch. The only problem is that I don’t have any money. I try to come up with an excuse, but she is not taking it. She said she would pay for it and I could pay her later. I make a mental note to find a job somewhere in town to keep up with the people’s social life, so I can have a clue on what is happening with the twins.We go to the burger joint, and as soon as we get in, my eyes lock with the Twins. They are sitting with their girlfriends all over them as soon as they see me coming in. I shrug my shoulders and walk past them to the booth the waitress is guiding us.Amy orders for the both of us as I have no clue what to get. I think she is getting a little suspicious about me. I need to learn more about socialising, and I need to do it fast. I sound like a loser, and if I keep going like this, people will stop wanting to hang out with me, and I will lose the cha
Colt POV“Is everything okay?” Danica asks, and we both nod our heads as we take our seats at the table. We look at each other when we see Arya returning to her table and sitting next to Amy. She looks flushed, and I enjoy the fact that it is because of us.I can still feel the tingling feeling on my skin from kissing her. I am almost sure she is our mate. I can feel deep down that there’s something about her. There’s something different about the way she reacts in front of us. I know we cloud her judgement, so she can’t say no to us, but that only happens because that’s what she wants deep down.“Are you even listening to me?” Danica asks as she shakes my arm.“What?”, I ask looking at her with puppy eyes.“I am talking about the party later. What time are you picking me up?” she asks, and I take a deep breath.“I a
Arya POV “Hey dad”, I shout as soon as I get home. I walk in to find him preparing some food for us, he has his back turned to me. I drop my backpack near the door and automatically he turns around resting his hip against the stove. “Pick that up and put it away”, he says and I nod my head apologising. When I come back to the kitchen I take a sit on the dinner table and he walks to me. “Hey love, how was your day at school? Did you see the twins?”, dad asks giving me a tight hug. “Yeah, was good, but dad, I think I have a problem”, I let out and he looks at me with worry all over his face. I don’t see that expression very often and I am not going to lie, it freaks me out. He is not the kind of person to just worry over nothing and he sure as hell doesn’t show it when he is. “What kind of problem?”, he asks me pulling me to sit on
Chase POV Isabella keeps calling asking me to join her at the party, and I honestly don’t feel like it. I tell her I am not interested and that I have patrol tonight. Dad asked us to patrol, and we can’t really say no to our Alpha and dad. Not that he is a scary guy because he isn’t, but he will release mom’s wrath on us, and I really can’t be bothered with dealing with her mood swings lately. “Are you ready?” Colt asks, and I nod my head slightly. It’s been a while since I allowed Asher to take over completely. It is always a battle between humans, wolf and vampires. I so wish I could put that aside to rest. Drinking blood bags is the most annoying thing. From time to time, we need it. I shake my head while I bring Asher over, and we change. Grey (Colt) starts running in front of me when he stops in his tracks and sniffs something. I follow him, and the mind link connects us, “Can you smell this?” he asks, and I look at him, giving him a head nod. We both fo
Arya POV I woke up earlier today. My body is aching, and I don't know why Silver is not healing me or why she is not talking to me. I shake my head, pushing away the thought I have crashing around my head. Maybe dad knows what is going on? "Dad", I say after getting myself ready for school. "Yeah?" he asks from the kitchen, I walk to him, and I can smell the oatmeal, and I scrunch my nose. I hate that. The texture gives me the creeps, but apparently, that's breakfast today. "I'm not feeling too good", I let out, and he smiled. "You should pay more attention to your surroundings", dad says, and I look around, not finding anything different. I scrunch my nose, trying to pick up a different scent, but nothing happens. I look at dad again, and he offers me a smile. "I hope you check your food when you eat out", dad says, and I stop eating, looking at him. The shock takes over, and I run to the bathroom, placing my fingers down my throat fo
Colt POV Chase brings Arya towards the car, and I know there’s something wrong with her, I just can’t put my finger on it, and I am not happy about the bruises on her face. Why isn’t she healing? Chase pulls Arya into the back seat of the car, and I can tell she is annoyed, but at this point, I don’t care anymore. Whoever did this to her will regret the day they were born. I still would like to know why I am so protective of her. I slam the door shut and walk to the front seat, starting the truck straight away. We needed to move out of here fast because people were already watching us as Chase was man handling her. Arya asks where we are taking her, but Chase manages to keep her quiet. I look through the mirror to see that he is fighting his inner demons to keep himself from turning. I roll my eyes as Arya says we are kidnapping her. Well, we are, sweetheart, so fucking deal with it. I keep driving away from the town a
Arya POV I can’t believe this is happening to me. The twins are trying to put me under some sort of spell, trying to trick my mind into answering their questions. Not happening boys, I am extremely grateful right now for the training I have received. I can stop the twins from compelling me to tell the truth or tell them anything. If that is their game, I can play. “I want to go home”, I say, and they both look at me and nod their heads. They drive me to town, and they don’t look at me again. I can tell they are having a mental conversation of some sort, and I shrug my shoulders. They can fuck off for all that I care. They stopped the truck in front of the school, and I got out of the car without even giving them a chance to follow me, and I started walking in the direction of the diner. I don’t want the twins to follow me. When I notice they are not following me, I change direction to go home. I am tired, and I have questions for dad. I understand that becaus
Chase POV“I’m going crazy, man”, I let out, and colt nods his head slightly. It’s been days since I lost saw Arya, and I don’t know what to do anymore. I am going out of my mind about not finding her. This pull is crazy, and I can’t believe this is happening.“Chill”, Colt says, and I look at him sideways. I am pacing around like a maniac. I haven’t slept properly since she disappeared. We even went to the office at school to get her address, but there was no one living in that house when we got there. It was a fake address.“How can you be so calm?” I ask as he looks down at his laptop, and he shrugs his shoulder. As I am about to burst, there’s a knock on the door, and it opens straight away with mom walking in and hugging me tightly.“My babies, all grown up”, she says, hu
Arya POVStanding just outside the border of the Pack is making my heart beat fast. It took me a while to be here again. After deciding it was time to come, I had to make sure Nana would come with me. Julia’s words keep passing in my mind. “Please, I beg of you, they are growing weak. You know they need you, please. I am a mother and all I care about is their happiness. I was blinded before but I can see now. Please give them a chance to show you how important you are to them. Please, I am begging.”I look around, and Nana gives me a small nod. I take one step forward and I feel them closer. I close my eyes and I can feel them weak. My heart breaking, shattering. I clear a single tear that falls down my cheek as all the emotions I have avoided come crashing down my walls. Suddenly, I am surrounded by four men.“Follow us”, they say with no introduction and I know they are just doing their jobs. They are board patrol and all they have to do is bring intruders to their alfa. I nod, foll
Arya POV I close my eyes shaking my head, I can’t believe what I am hearing. “No. That’s not possible”, I say standing up and walking around the room like I have gone insane. I can see Nana and Julia looking at me while I keep pacing around and shaking my head trying to get over everything that they said to me. I can’t believe that this is happening to me. No, this can’t be true. “You know I am not lying, you can feel it, you know it’s true, you are stronger than the average wolf”, Julia says and I look her in the eyes and I can feel anger taking over. I close my eyes trying to control myself. Nana walks to me resting her hands on my shoulders making me look at her. “Listen to her sweet. She knows what she is talking about”, Nana says and I look at her raising my eyebrows. “And how do you know that she is telling the truth?”, I ask and she takes a deep breath taking her seat again and cradling her coffee mug on her hand while she looks at me directly in the eyes. “I knew your pa
Arya POV “Arya, hun, there’s someone here to see you”, I hear Nana shouting from the house and I freeze, They found me? I look at the house focusing as much as I could remembering all the training I have been receiving. I close my eyes and I imagine myself inside the house and I can sense one person in the house, I don’t feel the mate bond. I open my eyes and look up. I am bleeding from my nose. I clean it with the back of my hand and slowly I walk to the house. Is it crazy that I feel disappointed that is not them? I know that Nana wouldn’t let just anyone in her house, this person needs to be close to her, or be someone she trusts, Nana is a spiritual wolf, she can sense people’s true intentions before they are even in front of her. She is that special, and because of that she lives away from everyone. Nana is a witch, she confessed it to me not long after I arrived and everyday I learn something new about her.
Chase POV “Come on, and you can do better”, Aries shouts at me as I try to escape from his blows to my torso. I have been focusing a lot more on my fighting. Losing Arya has made me go completely insane, and here, in the fighting rink, is the only place I can be myself and allow my body to take over my mind. Colt has been focusing on learning more about computers and that crap, and he thinks he will be able to track her down. She barely owned a phone, and she hated technology, almost as much as I do. I take a deep breath, passing my hands through my hair, pulling my sweaty strands away from my eyes, and that’s when Aries applies a blow to my ribs that make me flinch. I shake my head and attack him. That’s it, no more distractions. I keep fighting him for about one hour, and by the end, I am lying on my back on the floor, taking deep breaths while the sweat from my body drips onto the floor. “Hey”, I hear Colt’s
Arya POV I was walking for hours, and when I looked around, I was at the pack's border, the north border. I close my eyes and take a deep breath as I cross the border. As soon as I do so, I feel Silver twisting and howling inside of my head, and she is not happy that we are leaving our mates territory. I fall on my knees, grabbing my head as a severe pain attacks my body. I had never felt a pain like this before, it's as if my soul was being ripped out of my body. I stand up slowly as Silver moves into the back of mind allowing me to enjoy my pain alone. I wasn’t able to go see my dad, it’s not that I believe on what they said, but I just can’t be around any of them right now, I can’t be surrounded by pain, lies. I need to figure out myself first to then understand what is going on. I keep walking without knowing where I am going and by the time I look around I am in the middle of the countryside. There’s only
Colt POV “Stay the fuck away from me, I Arya reject….”, Arya says, but Chase runs to her and collapses his lips on hers. I walk behind her and wrap my arms around her waist, pulling her close to me, my heart beating fast as my wolf cries because of her words, words that Chase didn’t let her finish. Her warmth against mine sends a thousand jolts to my body as I feel her pulling us away.“Stay away from me, you psycho”, Arya says as she runs. I can’t stand being away from her, so run after her to have Chase grabbing my arm making me stop. “She will come back”, he says and I look at him placing both my hands on his shoulder and shoving him away from me. “How do you know? You just let out mate go, where is she going?”, I ask shouting at him as my mind goes cloudy for being away from Arya, I need her close, I need to touch her again. I haven’t had enough of her and I am starting to feel the bond pulling me to find her. I ignore chase and I run
Arya POV The stabbing keep happening and I can’t move, the pain is slowly killing me. Why am I not fighting back? I should be fitting back. “Who sent you?”, Julia asks and I look her in the eyes. “My dad”, I say just before I close my eyes as the ropes are released from my wrists. I close my eyes and I can hear her screaming in agony. I need to sleep, I am tired. “Babe, wake up”, I hear Chase’s voice in my ear as his breath touches my skin sending a jolt of energy down my body. Slowly I open my eyes as I feel Colt’s hand caressing my hair. I just want to stay like this for one more second. I don’t want to move but the jolt of electricity from their touch make me open my eyes. Colt and Chase are now looking at me as I try to sit up, but everything hurts. My muscles are aching. I look down to see all of my wounds healed and scars covering my body. I feel tears threatening to spill as Chase hugs me tightly. I wrap my arms around him as Colt pulls us both
Chase POV “Dad, please make it stop”, Colt shouts as we both lay down on the floor, holding on to our stomachs. I take a deep breath, and I stand on one knee as dad looks at us with wide eyes. “What is going on? What are you feeling?” dad asks as he bends down next to us. “Dad, she needs us”, I say, and dad nods his head as he helps us up at the same time as we feel a sharp pain in our legs. Colt twists in pain, and I feel my stomach twisting. Fuck, are we feeling the same as Arya? “Just tell her what she wants to know”, I think to myself, hoping that Arya will do what she has to. Please, babe, tell her everything she wants so we can all be together. I feel Asher retreating to the back of my mind as everything goes dark. I can hear Colt screaming in agony as dad calls mum’s name. I can’t open my eyes. I feel like I am being taken down a rabbit hole, and I don’t know what is happening. “Colt, Cha
Arya POV As soon as I saw Julia walking into the bedroom, I realised it was over for me. I don’t know how she figured it out or how she knows who I am. Julia keeps pulling me down the stairs, and everything is quiet, indicating the party is over. She did make sure there were no witnesses, and I bet she will try to end me, or worse, bite me and make me one of them. Dad was right. She is bad. “Mom, please, stop this nonsense”, I hear Colt shouting at his mom, but she doesn’t even blink, her hands cold as ice, and her eyes are grey as a stormy night. I have to admit that I am scared, and so is Silver. She has her tail between her legs as she looks at me. We get to a dark room that smells putrid, and it smells of urine and faeces. Julia throws me into a cell closing the door with one swift movement. I know better than to touch the bars. They are pure Silver. I can smell it, don’t ask me how but I can. I sit in the back of the cell, hugging my knees as the
