JaylaI am standing under a leafy oak tree in the school compound. But the shade the tree provides is the last thing on my mind right now. Other important things are occupying my mind at the moment. It's been about thirty minutes since Jessica was called to the principal's office and she hasn't come out yet. Frankly, I am getting worried more and more with each minute that passes. I just hope she is okay. I hope she hasn't gotten into any trouble. But why would she even get into trouble? She hasn't done anything wrong according to school standards. I just hope she comes out very soon. I am lost in my thoughts so much that I am startled by the sound of someone calling my name."Jayla!" the person calls out and I shake before turning around to see who it is. I see Jessica walking towards me and beside her is a handsome young guy with blond hair. The guy doesn't look familiar and I can immediately tell that he is not from around this place. Also, his skin is slightly darker than even
TylerIt is weekend already and I am glad. The whole school week has been so hectic so I am happy that is finally weekend. That way everyone can get to rest and that is exactly what we are doing now. Me, Jayla, Jessica and her mate, Hunter, Shane and Anna are all here together and I can say that we are already having a good time despite the fact that we just got here. Jessica's mate has been here for about three days and we haven't really hung out. He has just been going out with Jess whenever she has time. So we all decided to come out today and blow a bit of steam from the past week especially since Jessica and Jayla were planning a big hangout for all of us on the day that Jessica's mate arrived at this pack. Everyone here is all smiles and since we just got here, we haven't really had the chance to order food yet. But we have ordered drinks so we sip on that as everyone engage in conversations. I can see that everyone is happy. This is how it is supposed to be. We are suppose
JaylaJasper closes the door of the car and steps out completely, walking towards where we are. He stops in front of us, looking from one person to the other while he still doesn't say a word.No one among us sitting on the blankets even open our mouths to speak. We just stare at him as he stares at us and the tension in the air begins to rise, blanketing all of us with its thickness. Then Shane — ever the do-gooder — chooses to speak. "Good day, Alpha," he says with a slight bow of the head. Shane feels that even though he is older than Jasper, Jasper still remains his Alpha and he has to be submissive to him, which is why he bows almost every time he greets Jasper. Then Anna, following Shane's lead greets too and very soon, all the others start to greet Jasper. Before I know what is happening, Jessica and Hunter greet Jasper and even Tyler grunts out a greeting to his former best friend.I am the only one left to greet Jasper, the Alpha but I don't budge despite the looks I get f
JaylaTHREE MONTHS LATERI smile brightly just as Jessica and Anna enter into the dressing room. Today is the coronation of the new Alpha, and by the new Alpha, I mean Jasper. And me, Anna and Jessica are all dressing up in preparation for the ceremony. After Jasper apologized to us that fateful day three months ago, we observed him and noticed that he had truly changed just as he said. So we forgave him, welcoming him back into our fold permanently, and he has soon proved himself. He has been nothing but supportive to all of us in our friend group and he was the one that got Jessica's mate, Hunter settled in when he finally moved here. Jess was given the title of Head of the pack warriors after her father so her mate decided to move here because of her importance in the pack. I was actually surprised that he did something like that but it only goes to show how devoted he is to Jess. After the new head warrior was crowned, the Beta and the Beta Female were also crowned which is Tyl
TylerI use a towel to dry my hair a bit as I stand in front of the mirror after my shower. Football is my love. My passion even. But sweaty jerseys are something I just can't handle and I have to take a shower after every game. I'm a clean freak like that.I gel my hair in the perfect spike, spray on some cologne that makes all the girls go crazy on me, and pull on a simple t-shirt that shows off my toned chest, and then my phone pings with a message. I ignore it at first, assuming it's some girl I hooked up with before, asking to come over and I'm sure as hell not interested.It's kind of a pact I have made with myself that I will never hook up with the same girl again. I don't have a big reason for that. It's just that it would be kind of boring. I deserves better, after all.And there are plenty of girls out there in the market anyways. So why hook up with the same one twice? Half of the fun is in discovering their pleasure points anyway. Every one of them has it at different plac
JaylaAs cliche as it sounds, I hate parties. Especially the ones that include my parents or relatives, because the moment I know that there will be relatives at a party, I know what is going to go down. But it's not like you can really turn the party offer down with it's your own birthday."Oh my God! Is that you, Jayla? Wow! It's been so long!" My aunt, Martha, gushes as she squeezes me in one of her bone-crushing hugs. "Awww, look at you, getting demonstrations already. You have grown up so much!" What the fuck are you talking about, woman? You just saw me last week, and the only thing I have managed to grow within that interval is the hair on my legs which I shaved earlier today."So where is your mate?" she asks, her eyes darting around.She knows I haven't found my mate but she still likes to ask every time just to rub it in. She's a little bit of a bitch sometimes."Haven't found one yet," I whisper lowly, the disappointment and sadness evi
JaylaI pull Edward along with me to our next class after our embarrassing encounter with The Jerk. Yeah, I call him that because that's what he is. A Jerk with a capital J.My mind involuntarily drifts off to that party and I feel a pang in my heart when I think of him and how he pushed me away like I was nothing. I thought mates have to love each other.I shake my head and try to concentrate my mind on the chemistry exercise in front of me. "Okay, so if the temperature is increased, will the forward or backward reaction be favored?" I mumble to myself."Shhh, Jay," someone nudges me from behind, and I shrug them off, knowing it's no one but Eddie.I continue working on the exercise in my front when he pokes me again, this time with a pencil. I look back and hiss at him to stay quiet. He juts his bottom lip out and gives me a puppy dog look. I want to laugh so badly but I settle for giving him a stern look. He widens his eyes and they start turning
Jayla The whole universe hates me. Yeah, that's it. That's the only logical reason for the kind of torture I'm being put through right now.Shortly after Edward's surprise visit, the teacher enters the class and sits down in front of us. He gives us all a blank stare for a good five minutes and just when we think he would lecture us on good behavior, he starts going through some essays, ignoring our presence completely.The brunette leaves the class after a while, saying that she doesn't have after-school detention and she was here just to give Tyler some company.I snort. Give some company? More like giving something else. The value of something else depends on how dirty-minded you are."Edward?" the teacher said and I stifled a gasp. So he speaks.Turns out he is Edward's French teacher and he wants his help."Can you help me carry these to the staff lounge?" he asks, getting up from his chair. He collects a bundle of papers and gestures for Edward to carry them while he carries his

JaylaIt is Tuesday and the day I resume school after my three day suspension. The time away from school did me well, and I can say that I am energetic and more relaxed now. Our final exams are around the corner and I feel confident that I will do well in them and come out in flying colors.I don't even want to come out in flying colors alone; I want to graduate at the top of my class. And I will. I will make sure of that. The first three classes of the day is over so me and Jess are walking down the hallway while we talk about what we want to do after school today. "I think all of us should go out to a diner and hangout," Jess says. "It's been long we have all gone out and done something like that. What do you think, Jay?""It sounds great. We should do it. But I am not sure it would work today, though. It will be at such a short notice and the others might not be up for it," I say."Okay. So we will have it either tomorrow or the day after. We will have to inform everyone today so
TylerShane and I have been sitting here for about half an hour just playing games. Jessica left not long after Jayla left for her house. She said her father needed her to do something for him so she really had to go. Anna had said she had to go home so Shane had to see her off. I noticed that he spent a very long time before he came back so I know they talked for a while. I have been observing Shane and Anna these past few days and I can tell that there is something between them. I can see it in their eyes that they have feelings for each other even though they are not mates. But both of them have been denying having feelings for each other. All the times that I have asked Shane about it, he has always denied it. But I won't relent. I will keep asking and pestering him till he admits that he has feelings for her. She is the type of girl he needs and they complement each other. In fact, they are perfect for each other. One would wonder why I am so interested in Shane's affairs si
JaylaAfter I shift abruptly without warning, Jessica stares at my pure white wolf in amazement. She has never seen my wolf before so I understand why she is as surprised as this. I would be surprised too if I was in her position and seeing a beautiful white wolf for the first time.She takes her time to "ohh" and "ahh" over my wolf, circling it multiple times and gasping in amazement before she is satisfied. Then she pulls her clothes off, folding them into a neat pile which she keeps in a secret hideout deeper into the woods.I begin to wonder about which clothes I will put on when we finish running since all my clothes have been shredded to rags as a result of the way I shifted without any warning whatsoever. But I push the thought out of my mind before it lingers too long. I am exhilarated because Mia has finally come back to me and I want to enjoy every moment in her skin for as long as I can. And thinking about which clothes I will wear after the run won't help matters at all
JaylaAs soon as I ask my question, everywhere and everyone becomes silent, so much that if a pin is dropped on the floor, the sound would be heard clearly. The air around all of us becomes thick with tension and I look at the faces of everyone around the table, moving from one to the another. As my eyes meet theirs, they all look away. Well, all of them except for Anna who looks at me with a confused and probing expression on her face. That is when I realize that I have done something wrong. I shouldn't have talked about the revenge we are supposed to be planning for Jasper because Anna is here and she is not supposed to know about it.Well, I have committed a mistake but there is no going back. Anna has already heard the beginning of it so I might as well tell her all about it. I feel like she deserves to know since she is more or less a part of our friend group now. We have gotten really closer these past few days and I can tell that she is someone I can trust. I fix my gaze on
Jayla The first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is to open my eyes because of the light pressure I feel on my waist. Wait, I think. Why am I feeling like someone's arms are wrapped around my waist? Am I not supposed to be at home? Even the room doesn't look like mine.I look to the side and there is Tyler, and he is looking at me with a cheeky grin on his face. He is the one whose arms are wrapped around me. As I come to that realization, I start to remember the events from yesterday from the beginning to the end. I remember Anna and Jessica being at my house and how we all came to the pack house with me driving. I also remember all the games we played and how we all got really drunk. Which makes me to realize that the drinking is the cause of this throbbing headache which I currently have. I groan as I rub my hands over my temple, wondering how I allowed myself to get as drunk as this. Then another thought flits through my mind and I sit up immediately, my eyebrows shoo
