Inside Cambide the huge marble white halls of cambid college,Heather breath nervously as her best friend held her fingers tightly.Her anxiety were getting the best out of her ,ever since the day of her first presentation."Aria sage" it was her turn for the presentation."Next is Aria Sage" the professor nodded slightlyProffesors with stoic face were sitting at the front of the podium,as she wobbly walked across the huge halls toward the platform.She was about to start , when caught sight of a familiar beautiful face,"No it not possible, please forget him Aria. No this is not happening to me today. Get hold of yourself Aria!" She screamed inwardly.Sitting across her in middle of the professors who are here to judge her today ,is what seems like an illusion of the handsome guy from rain."No it isn't possible , let calm down here" she shut her eyes and breath hard."What wrong with that student" the coldest looking professor said angrily."Do you think she is having a nervous wrec
The next day at Maple Highschool, Marianna walked slowly into the class, Alexander who was known to be cold distant always looking out of the window, whenever the teacher is not around looked up and smiled at her ,Marianna froze with a pale faceThe girls in the class looked towards her direction with eyes green with jealous they hissed angrily,she overhead one of them call her,"Old ugly fat ass" she desperately hate this attention.Immediately she turned towards another corner of the class and walked up to a girl with round glasses with thick double lens.She was still busy going through her chemistry assignment, when Marianne tapped her shoulder."Lily" she called softly"Hey watsup, Marianne" Lily said"Am good and you""Yeah am great ,Nice haircut though. The Bob really fit you like Rihanna" Lily smiles warmly" do you mind exchanging seats with me" she asked slowly."Huh! I do mind Sitting next to my highschool crush has been my greatest fantasy" Lily exclaimed happily."Okay, G
It was the end of another day,Aria who had spent the whole day doing nothing, dragged herself to the mini coffee shop down the street.Inside a mini coffee shop ,the interior simple wooden design looks exclusive and classy. Two girls were seen in a middle of heated chat,The blonde girl in white shirt and black pants with apron tied around her neck hurriedly gathered the tea cups and started mopping the floor, while listening to her friend's story, who was sitting on the tall wooden stool.She paused and looked up from what she was doing and pushed out her lips slightly,"You meant you ended up not getting the job but also lost your heart" the blonde lady shrieked angrily."Damn girl, you really nut" she scoffed angrily and continue mopping.."You know he is just too beautiful and charming with a good heart too""I am seriously losing my mind here. He is my fucking hero. Girl"She replied and was lost in trance Reminiscing at the moment when the young man saved her from the brink
It a bright Saturday morning, Heather sat lazily next to the fire place at the living room , while flipping through fashion magazine ,her attention shifted to get tensed son ,who was fiddling with his phone.She watched him all looking tensed and nervous ,as he struggled dial her number, finally summoning up his strength. Unknowing to him that it was on speakerAlexender: Hi Aria wats upAriel: Hey (dryly)Alexander: I was hoping we could start working on how project today and also go on a date after it and have fun.what do you think huh ?Ariel : No am busy.Alexander: Okay what about Sunday , you know we could just chill out.Ariel: NoAlexander: why ?Ariel: (..............)**********Hang up*******"Hahahahaha!!!" His mother busted out laughing."Mum it not funny" he said annoyed with hint of embarrassment on his face."Yeah it is,dumb pathetic loser!" Heather jeered loudly."You don't even know how to make a girl fall for you , pathetic" she continued to mocked.Alexander ignored
HeatherThe morning sun streamed in through my bedroom window as I slowly blinked awake. I lie down there for a moment, staring up at the ceiling, the memories, it makes me feel nostalgia. As I take in the familiar surroundings. It had been two months since I returned to my adopted family's home in Ferris in Loaka city, and this cozy bedroom makes me feel at home again. I let a deep sigh, before hauling out of bed and got ready to face the day. Splashing cold water on my face helped wash away the last cobwebs of sleep. As I patted my wet face, I caught my reflection in the mirror. The dark circles under my eyes betrayed many restless nights. Ever since coming back, readjusting to this life had not been easy.After dressing, I headed downstairs. The smell of freshly brewed coffee drew me to the kitchen. My adopted brother's wife was bustling about making breakfast, a deep frown on her usually cheerful face. Our relationship was still strained, but I hoped with time we'd find our rhyth
IanAnother week gone by with no trace of Heather no matter the resources I poured into finding her. My brother Tyler chattered away in the passenger seat, still hung up on some mystery woman he'd briefly crossed paths with. Meanwhile Heather continued to haunt my every thought.We were driving through yet another idyllic small town, eyes peeled for any hint of Heather. Just then a woman wandered absently into the road ahead. I slammed the brakes, tires screeching as our eyes met with a jolt of recognition - Heather!She stood frozen, staring dumbly as if unable to comprehend my sudden appearance. My heartbeat quickened, but irritation followed close behind. I hated when women gawked at me only because of my wealth and notoriety, as if I were a shiny object to possess. A crowd started gathering, their focus on me rather than the woman I'd nearly run down. With an impatient sigh, I sent her off in an ambulance and paid a generous compensation to avoid a scene. These small towns loved
IanNo, this is not happening!I stood up and approach the door want to go to her thank goodness she can't run this time I'll go to her cafe.Or her home. Just then I saw he grumbling like a little girl. As her friend pushed her out of the car. I feel my heart gets calm and start beating fast. It was as if a teenager seeing his first love.She was in a classy outfit that clung to her body and sexy as fuck. ...Heather"That's it, we're going shopping!" Aria declared, dragging me from the cafe the moment Ian left. "What? Why?" I protested even as she hustled me to her car."To find you a killer outfit for your date tonight!" Aria said matter-of-factly. "If Mr. Billionaire is willing to stalk you across the state, we need to make an impression."I sighed but couldn't suppress a smile at her determination. We closed the cafe early and hit the shops. Aria was merciless, shoving outfit after outfit into my arms. "Too frumpy...makes you look like a nun...oh that's cute!"After what felt
TylerI drummed my fingers impatiently on the armrest as Ian drove us through yet another quaint village. My thoughts kept drifting back to the beautiful mystery woman I'd glimpsed earlier. When Ian had nearly hit that pedestrian, I’d been distracted by the alluring brunette who rushed to help. Our eyes met for a brief electric moment before Ian whisked us away. While my brother obsessed over some Heather woman from his past, I was captivated by this fiery angel who’d burst into my humdrum life. Ian insisted we were here tracking down his lost love or whatever, but I had an ulterior motive - finding that enchanting girl who’d left me utterly smitten.As we pulled into a cozy cafe, I perked up. Maybe I’d catch another glimpse of my enthralling stranger here. But as Ian stiffened, I realized this was no chance stop. “Well, if it isn’t the woman who’s been haunting my thoughts, Heather my dear,” Ian purred to the pretty barista. His lost love, apparently. She was cute, but had nothing
And as he does so, he answers the question he literally forced me to ask while my moans and screams are confused with eachother. "No one else fucking wants you", his moves are so tight and almost forceful that I can't help but wonder how in the world he still has all that stamina. "It hurts", I moan as I try to reach for his waist and push again, but he slaps my hands away and grabs my boobs. "Didn't you want it hard? I'm doing just that, or do you want me to leave? Did you have a change of mind?" His fingers are giving my nipples the tightest pinch they've ever gotten and his palms remain firmly pressed on my breasts. "You'll barely be able to walk when I'm done", he pauses as I start to feel his manhood harden and pulsate inside of me. Dripping hot precum also starts to coat my inside and mix with my wetness as he continues his movement. "And you know what will happen when I'm done?", through my glassy eyes, I notice the smirk on his face, "I'll take you again and again a
Heather With Mara gone, the estate felt peace and calm, like the storm had passed. Some funny thing is no one grieved over Mara's death, even though she was once the Luna. Even her son, Archer. Lucas never loved her in the first place. He softened to me and more wary of letting fear rule him. Our bond emerged stronger for enduring the trial. Together Lucas and I slowly mended torn relationships throughout the pack, reassuring all of our peaceful intentions. Keegan’s wisdom and discretion proved invaluable in maintaining stability through the transition. And Alex’s calm strength gave me courage when threats of fresh dissent arose. He would make a fine leader someday, if we could break the bleak cycle of suspicion and isolation. Archer remained more inscrutable, keeping his own counsel for a time. But Alex's tireless faith seemed to gently erode his walls. And seeing Lucas choose unity over vengeance clearly gave him much to ponder internally. I hoped in time the seeds of healing
Archer's POV The commotion in the hallway drew everyone's alarmed attention from the dinner table. Shouts echoed, then Keegan appeared supporting mother's distressingly still form. Dark blood stained her robes and face."What has happened?" Father demanded, rushing over with the others. But none needed ask as the gruesome truth became painfully clear. Mother had taken her own life, reasons unknown. An icy void opened within me. I know why. She chooses this for herself.In the chaotic hours that followed, I retreated numbly to the solitude of the grounds, tormented by guilt and questions. What had driven the proud Alpha female to such an extreme end? She had appeared the very picture of health mere hours before at dinner. Nothing made sense.Over the next harrowing days, the murky circumstances came to light under Keegan's discretionary investigation. Among mother's things he uncovered incriminating letters - one for father pleading again to cast out Heather before she destroyed him.
MaraBitterness churned within me as Lucas welcomed Heather back so readily after all the grief her disappearance caused. She had stolen his affections from me long ago with her bewitching powers, and now the spell was cast anew despite my warnings. Lucas was blind in his obsession once more.I would not let her destroy my son again. Since reasoned arguments proved futile, more duplicitous means were required. I slipped tiny portions of monkshood tincture each day into Heather's wine at dinner, under guise of graceful hospitality. Just enough to make her sickly, not draw suspicion. Soon parallel symptoms began appearing in my soft-headed son as well - fatigue, headaches, fits of anger. But it was necessary collateral damage to free him from her toxins. Once weaned off her presence, Lucas would regain his senses. I remained vigilant for any opportunity to administer larger, more disfiguring doses when the time was right.But fate conspired against me when Archer noticed his ailing fat
LucasThe long road of recovery thereafter was its own grueling nightmare. My own weakness disgusted me. But Heather and Alex stayed steadfast through every faltering step, humiliation, and defeated curse. Their faith fueled me like oxygen to resume the fight each day. Leaving the bleak hospital at last to continue healing surrounded by family brought profound peace. Despite my grandmother's lingering wariness, she and Mara welcomed Heather back graciously. The circle had held through our darkest hour.My body gradually mended, though the leg brace and cane still left me reliant on others' assistance shamefully often. But Heather never allowed me to slip into despair, staying bright and gently scolding when I cursed my feeble condition too harshly. Her inner light sustained me, even through my blackest moods.Alex too helped ease the restlessness, smiling encouragement through each halting mile walked together around the grounds. In his eyes I glimpsed again the heroic father I had p
Heather Everything happened so fast - the gun, Lucas diving to shield me, the deafening crack of the shot. Then Lucas crumpling heavily to the floor amidst the chaos, dark red blooming across his chest. The scream trapped in my throat escaped as a shattered gasp. I rushed to Lucas's side with Alex, pressing my hands desperately against the gushing wound. Lucas's face had gone pale and slack, barely conscious. "No no no, stay with me!" I begged him. Our surroundings faded away, Ian's deranged shouting, the sirens outside, everything but Lucas's dimming eyes locked on mine. "Heather...forgive me..." he rasped faintly, each word clearly agonizing. His hand found mine, grip feeble. "Tell...Alex..." "Shhh don't speak, save your strength!" I pleaded, tears blurring my vision. But his eyes slid closed, body going limp. "Lucas! Lucas please!" My broken sobs echoed in the sudden quiet.Everything after became a hellish blur - police and paramedics storming in, Ian screaming threats and cu
LucasRage boiled through my veins as Richard tried to hit their car. I watched Keegan speed off with Heather. And I feel at ease. That damned snake Richard had nearly killed her! If I had arrived seconds later...I cut off the chilling thought, forcing icy composure over the maelstrom inside me. Now was not the time for blind fury. Richard remained barely conscious at my feet, helpless prey awaiting judgment. I could make his death agonizingly slow, wring every scream from his worthless hide... But no. That was the old madness. I would not sink to his level, however deserved such vengeance might be. Death would come by my hand swift and clean. The serpent had stolen too much time from me already.I hauled Richard up by his torn shirt, claws piercing through the thin fabric to dimple his skin. He peered at me with dazed yet defiant hatred. "You should have stayed dead, snake," I rumbled. My hand flexed, ready to shred his throat out in one vicious stroke. This would finally be fini
71 Heather's POV:My head spun as Keegan wove the disturbing tale of Ian's - no, Richard's - true identity and motives. The friend I had trusted so implicitly was merely using me as a pawn in some toxic feud with Lucas. And now he was regaining dangerous lucidity in the backseat, malice smoldering in his eyes."Just focus on the road ahead," I told Keegan, trying to ignore Richard's presence behind us. I clutched Alex's hand like a lifeline. We were so close now to real freedom. I refused to let Richard's poisonous schemes drag us back under. Not this time. Alex gave my hand a determined squeeze, meeting my gaze steadily despite the fear in his eyes. My brave boy. We would face whatever came next together. I offered him a reassuring smile before turning to Keegan."What's the plan once we get some distance?" I asked, keeping my tone low. Keegan's brow creased in focus as he navigated busy streets. "I have contacts out of state who can help get you set up with new identities and pap
Keegan Getting inside proved simple once Ian was safely unconscious - the wards recognized his signature and granted entrance readily. Moving cautiously, I followed the scent trails further inside until I located Heather and Alex in a barren side room. They both startled violently at my entrance with Ian's body slung over my shoulder."Keegan!" Heather gasped out, shock and alarm widening her eyes. "What are you doing here? What's wrong with Ian?" She started to rush over but I halted her with an upraised hand. "Please, I beg you to hear me out Heather. Ian is only sedated, so I could speak freely." I lowered Ian's limp form to the floor. "There are truths you need to understand before this goes any further."Alex moved in front of his mother protectively. "Truths? More like Lucas sent his lackey here to drag us back!" His young face hardened. "Well you can forget it, we're never going near him again."I held the boy's glare evenly. "I know you have no reason to trust me. But neithe
