Jayla

When I was a kid, whenever I saw my father giving someone an injection, or whenever I got an injection, I used to cry so much. My parents always laughed it off and said that it was funny that I hated injections and blood despite my own father being a doctor. It made no sense to me really, but it did to them.

I like science. I like the chemical aspect of it. But when it comes to blood and a syringe or any other sharp object, I usually run away.

Never had I ever had a thought as a child that a day would come when I would be standing with that very syringe I had hated as a child in my hand, ready to kill someone to save my own life.

My guess is that life works in quite unpredictable ways. Things we never think will happen to us, and things we never prepared for will happen. And we have to survive them. We have to weather the storm and come out at the end of it. That is how it is.

When we are kids, we are so oblivious to the evil things which happens in the real world. It is as if

    Jayla "Did you miss me?" he asks as he walks forward and further into the room, with a smirk playing on the corner of his lips, and a smug grin on his ugly face. Oh, how I would love to wipe it off. And I will. Soon. Very soon. I grit my teeth, my heart filling with immense hatred and disgust for the excuse of a man but I manage not to let what I am feeling show on my face. I can't let him know my true intent. I keep a blank face while I speak because that is how I want to play this out. "No, I didn't and I wish you never even showed up," I say.I want my words to anger him. Because I know that when he is angry, he takes rash decisions and lets his guard down a bit. I am capitalizing on that piece of information to further my plan.But my words don't anger him as much as I want, and my plan fails as he starts to laugh quite bitterly, the sound jarring my ears to the extent that I want to scream out loud in frustration. "Oh my God, you are so funny," he says, pretending to chuckle

    Jayla I cannot allow my hands to shake now. I really can't afford to make any mistake at all even if it is a simple one. And I won't make a damn mistake. I will prove myself to myself till the end. I have to do this. And I will even if I die in the process. I smirk in his face, mocking his existence and his very being because he deserves it. He deserves even worse than that. I speak in a clear voice so that my words can enter into his brain and get to him. "Your death is just around the corner. You better be watching your back constantly before it creeps up on you without your knowledge. Or you can watch your front too. Do whatever works for you.""What the fuck are you saying, bitch?" he raged. "You are just spitting gibberish.""I am not. I am serious about it and very soon, you too will know it. But it might be too late for you then, though," I say then I laugh, the sound cruel in the small space of the cellar. I love the way I have succeeded in rattling this monster in front o

    Jayla I hear his screams and cries because of the pain he is feeling and I feel immense satisfaction as I recall the times he used to cause me pain. The times I used to scream in agony just like he is doing now. Well, it is my turn to shine now, my turn to exact revenge on him for all what he did to me. And I will have a good time while doing it. His screams increase in their tempo amd he falls on his knees crumbling to the floor right in front of me."Women are not weak!" I growl at him, telling him the fact one last time in order to make sure that these are the last words he hears before dying. I want him to know that he made a mistake underestimating me and other women out there. He shouldn't do that in his next life, that is if he even deserves to have one. I smirk in victory as I see him wither to death in front of me. My eyes shine with tears of pride but I know that now is not the time to celebrate yet. I still have to run. I still have to manage to escape this place which i

    JaylaA hand on the shoulder; that is exactly where everything starts from. A horror movie, a murder story, but apparently and rather ironically, I feel like it is where my life will start to end.I cannot see my face but I am quite certain that all the blood would have drained from it by now. All sorts of negative thoughts pass through my mind. This is too good to be true. I should have known that.But then I remind myself of the promise l made to myself and I tell my heart that I will not expend my time and energy in worrying. Instead, I will expend everything of it in fighting. I will fight for myself and not for anyone else this time. It is just me now.Taking a deep breath, I curl my hands into fists, ready to attack as I turn around to see the very flustered face of my very own Kendra.Before I even have time to register my relief, she grabs my hand and starts to drag me down the hallway."What are you doing, Ken? I was about to escape through the window..." I begin to say but

    Jayla "I hate wars," I whisper silently to myself, thinking about how many people are in that situation right now."I..." I begin to say but then I notice that Kendra isn't saying anything behind me.Worrying, I turn around to see her standing there with a frozen expression on her face."Kendra?" I ask, shaking her but she still doesn't say anything despite my entreaties."Are you okay?" I whisper, giving her some time, thinking that she too is shaken from the intensity of the howl. But it doesn't take too long before a tiny whisper leaves her lips, bringing to my ears something that could change the course of her life."It was Megan."Megan is Kendra's mate who she has been searching for for years. The very mate was abducted and kidnapped away from her, just like I was too.Our situations are kind of similar except that Megan has a mate who cares for her. So when she heard Megan, it is obvious that she couldn't help but want to run toward her to save her. And I am not surprised eit

He also brought a dozen of rogues with him who were trying to follow him and attack him.Jessica moves in front of me as soon as we see them. And I don't want that. I want to fight for myself. I take a quick look around to see that no one else from our pack is in sight. Did they come alone?And at that moment, Jessica's brother, Liam also appears as he attacks a rogue from behind.Another rogue tries to attack Liam, and it is a prompt for Jessica to finally shift. She does and her Auburn wolf doesn't take long before pouncing on the wolf who had been after her brother.And just like that, the fight starts. It is like a dozen of them and just the four of us. And one of us -which is me- is unshiftable."Come with me," Kendra's voice says from behind me and I turn around to see her in her human form, and she is putting on a shirt that she got from who knows where."Oh my goddess, are you

    JaylaI don't know for how long we stay there, in that same position mourning over our loss. I don't know the amount of tears I shed over my lost friend, but all I know is that I feel like there is a void in me. A void that can no longer be filled.Even after all that had been happening in my life, I was still holding up. I was still able to gather myself, I was still in one piece and I didn't let myself be broken beyond repair. But this feels like that last brick that is supporting the whole column is toppling and everything will soon be going down.It is like the fort of my dreams, my life, my aspirations, my hopes and my beliefs have come tumbling down till it is all a heap of mess and unfulfilled promises.My faith in kindness and love that was hanging by a thin thread has snapped and nothing so loving is left in me anymore. I feel hollow. Like, really hollow.And I feel lonely too. Like I am surrounded by people but I still feel stranded. I feel clueless too. And I have no idea w

But either way, I feel guilty and responsible for it.I feel as though it is because of me that she is suffering one of the biggest pains in the werewolf world which is the pain of losing your mate.I want to comfort her, and I do but I am a bit afraid that she will throw me off and accuse me for being the cause of the death of her mate. I don't know whether I will be able to take those accusations.Megan still has Kendra's head on her lap as she softly brushes her forehead, and it is just as if her mate is asleep and can wake up at any time.

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

  • Unwanted By The Beta   CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY EIGHT - AN INTERESTING MORNING

    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
