Jayla

I pace up and down in my room, checking my phone every minute, raking my mind for any sort of mindlink that will give me information about what is happening at the pack border.

As Jessica told me, there was a rogue attack at the border late at night and the patrol team informed the Alpha to send more men so that we could defend ourselves.

It must be a serious attack because minor attacks- when there are just a couple of rogues- are handled by the border patrol itself. They don't require any involvment of the Alpha or pack warriors.

A cold wind blows inside the room through the window and I shiver because of the cold. I hug myself tight and proceed to close the window. My wolf inside me is restless. I can feel her. My breath leaves a foggy appearance on the window pane and I furrow my brows. It's abnormally cold for a summer night.

It's been two hours since the attack happened and now it's around 3:50 in the morning. Still, there is no information whatsoever about their well bein

    JaylaBeep. Beep. Beep. Beep.An annoying recurring sound flits into my ears and I almost groan in frustration because it's interfering with my peaceful sleep. I try to twist around and slam my alarm shut but my body refuses to cooperate with me. I mumble, moving my lips to call for my parents but my mouth refuses to make a noise. I am not able to do anything.Frustration takes over my whole body when I realize that the only resort I am left with is to wake up and shut the alarm myself. But I realize that I can't wake up either. It's like my eyelids has turned rogue and now refuses to listen to my commands. My limbs feel weak as if they have never belonged to me.Confused and determined, I try to open my eyes once again, and this time I am successful. My eyelids lift just a bit and a stark white light enters into my retina, making me wince and I shut them close again.I open them again and blink several times, letting them adjust to the light. Once they do, I expect to see the pink wa

    JaylaAa Tyler buries his face in my neck, he seems to be using my scent to calm his wolf down. It's common in our werewolf community. Your mate's scent is everything to you. I can smell Tyler's scent too. My senses aren't too developed yet, but since we are this close, I can smell him. It's very manly. He scents like spices and something I can't quite place. But it's addictive. Very addictive, even.I find myself closing my eyes and wrapping my arms around him too, but before I can do more, the door of my room swings open and Tyler is suddenly in front of me.He hides me behind him and growls loudly, just like he did a few minutes ago. What's with him and this new found overprotectiveness of his?"Why are you hiding Jay from me, Tyler?" a familiar voice says.I gasp. It's Shane. I know his voice too well. I place a hand on Tyler's shoulder, trying to ask him to move but he doesn't budge."Tyler, I need to talk to Shane," I tell him.He just growls. "No!"I sigh. "Tyler, I didn't ask

    Jayla"You better explain yourself with a proper statement, lady," she says as she folds her arms across her chest and taps a foot impatiently."Um... I'm... I'm sorry, Jess," I whisper, fiddling with my fingers but she narrows her eyes at me.Jessica is a little bit mad at me for not taking her with me and going off to the pack border alone. She is upset that I risked my life because of her while she was sleeping like a goddamn baby. Her words, not mine.At first she spends a good five minutes fussing about how worried she was when I didn't wake up for six days."Oh my God, Jayla! Do you have any idea how I felt? You didn't wake up for six days! Six freaking days! I felt like it was a scene from of of those freaking telenovelas I seem to have an addiction to watching. Those ones when you will go into coma and not wake up for some years, and then after you finally wake up, you would forget me and... and...

    JaylaAs soon as those words leave my throat, confirming what Shane already suspected, his face pales and a shocked expression comes over his face.I kind of feel bad for hiding it from him, but it didn't really have a choice."I... he.. oh my God...why... I mean, how... ..oh wait..." he tries to say something to me but he is sputtering too much that nothing he said makes sense to me at all.Keeping a hand on his shoulder, I ask him to calm down and he looks at me earnestly. Finally he regains his voice and he speaks. "That explains the way he acts around you," he says, frowning."Yeah," I mutter, picking on the grass with my fingers."Why hasn't he marked you yet?" he asks me and I bite my lip, not really wanting to answer that.What do I tell him? That my mate practically pushed me off him on the first day we met, spread bad rumors about me, told me to stay away from him and ignored me when I tried to go near him?It sounds horrible and pathetic and I don't want him to pity me. But

    Jayla"Tyler!" I growl lowly. My eyes turn towards him and I glare at his hand which is raised in the air to throw another chunk of eraser at me.His expression turns into one of a deer caught on headlights once when he sees me looking at him and he grins sheepishly, wearing a mask of innocence. My glare falters at his expression but I maintain my demeanour and keep throwing daggers at him with my eyes.I ruffle my hair to get rid of all the chunks of rubber and from the corner of my eyes, I see Tyler pouting like a baby. I roll my eyes and concentrate on what my teacher is trying to say. I quickly draw a graph on my notebook when another chunk of rubber comes flying and hits me on the cheek.A growl almost escapes my lips but I hold it back and continue to ignore him."Jay," he whispers, poking my waist which makes me to hiss at him.I throw him a look that warns him to behave himself. He pouts again and I let out a snort."Are you ignoring me?" he whispers again, looking at me with

"No. He said he will pick you up from the door," she says.I sigh. See the struggles I am having with going on a date with someone living in the same house as I am. I speak. "I think I should go out to the hall and not make it complicated. But what if he thinks l am extra?"Jessica looks at me with challenging eyes and raises a brow, "Think? Girl, you are extra."I throw her a blank stare and chuck a pillow toward her. "Shut up," I say.She chuckles and winks at me before going back to her phone."What are you doing?" I ask her, narrowing my eyes at her phone.She looks at me through her lashes before looking down and mumbling, "Oh, nothing."Her cheeks are tinged pink and my eyes widen. "Jessica Drew is blushing?" I cry out, gasping in shock."Shut up!" she says, and her cheeks turn darker, almost close to turning red.Of course, Jes

    JaylaThank you so much for this beautiful night, Tyler. I really appreciate it a lot," I say as we step out of the restaurant.He flashes me a charming smile and I almost melt in a puddle of goo in front of him."Who says the night is over, anyway?" he asks and I look at him in surprise and curiosity."What?" I ask."So how do you feel about going to get ice cream?" he asks with a twinkle in his eyes.He links my arms with his and together, we walk to a nearby ice cream shop. The whole place is so colorful that I can't help but remember when I was a kid. We step into the shop and walk to the counter, my arm still linked with his.After a while of looking at all the ice cream flavors and choices, I am suddenly frustrated. "I can't decide!" I whine as I stand in front of the one of the glass displays which different ice cream selections in it.Tyler chuckles and I pout. "You tell me, french chocolate, butterscotch and vanilla or shredded coconut?" I ask him."To be honest, I don't even

    JaylaSparks fly as soon as my lips meet his soft ones. He has the most perfect lips ever. Not too big, and not too small either. They are the right size, they are just perfect. They are a little rough which produces a delicious friction between our lips as they move together, and in sync with each other.At first when I kiss him, he freezes in shock, as though he was not expecting me to do this. After some torturously long seconds though, he recovers from the shock and a soft moan escapes his lips as they start moving with mine.He places a hand on my face and cups my jaw. Then he tilts my face, and angles our lips perfectly so that they can move freely.A sigh leaves my lips as his licks the seam of my bottom lip, licking and tugging on it. I use my lips to catch his bottom lip between them and pull slightly, making him moan.Bringing my face closer -if it is even possible- he slips his tongue into my mouth and I moan when his taste floods the whole of my mouth. He tastes so sweet,

    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
