All Chapters of Fated Mates, Forbidden Love : Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Alexis I sat in the library, toying with a calligraphy pen and pricking my thumb with the metallic nib. I had so many tests and exams coming up, but I couldn't bring myself to concentrate. All the words in my textbooks became blurry lines. I tried everything I could, from taking long walks from one end of the school to another, practicing mindfulness exercises that Tara had introduced to me, and even wearing more makeup and dressing better, which Tara felt could attract Craig back to me. None worked. Craig never looked at me more than once, and I stopped everything altogether when that bitch Ivy mocked me when I wore a stupid tank top that revealed my stomach. I didn't know what to do anymore, or even who to tell. This was getting stranger by the day, and I knew that Craig wasn't joking when he rejected me. But it bothered me that he hadn't asked about the staff of authority that was in my custody. And from the look of things, he didn't seem like he was planning to. I had no

Alexis Tara and I sat side by side on the bed, our eyes fixed on the luminous computer screen. I was hesitant to send the email to Katana unearthing Beverly and Craig's relationship. I had run short of making excuses, trying to deviate from this matter. Uneasy as hell, I stared blankly at my screen. "Come on, Alexis. Don't be a coward," Tara slurped her banana milkshake, making the freshly blended bananas and dairy fill my nostrils. "You know you want to do this." "I do," I bit my lip, uncertain about all of this. "I just don't want to get into trouble. My dad will find out about me and Craig and kill me." She raised her hands, annoyed. "Well then, I'm going to bed." "No, no, wait," I grabbed her arm. "Come on, don't be stubborn." "If you don't want to send it, it's fine." I groaned loudly. "Oh, Tara…" "I'm tired of listening to excuses. Maybe you should watch Beverly and Craig love up in your presence." "I don't want that." "Then send the damn email to your step-mum." My

Alexis We headed back to the pack after making sure that the staff of authority was hidden in the safe room. I had doubts and fears, wondering if I was doing the right thing. Most of all, my heart slammed at the thought of betraying Craig. Even though he had broken my heart, I felt guilty for hiding his dad's staff of authority. StoneCrest bustled with activity. Wednesdays were usually for intense training and sports. Tara spotted me from afar and rushed to hug me, almost throwing me off balance. "Christ, Alexis. You scared me. My thoughts were jumbled all weekend and I was this close to coming to the pack house. Why didn't you take my calls?" Tara's rapid questions threw me off guard, overwhelming me. "Sorry," I muttered. “It wasn't intentional." Her brows furrowed and she gave a clipped nod, waving my apology off and guiding me to a nearby concrete chair. "I was and still am very concerned, especially when Beverly resumed on Monday and I saw no glimpse of you." The cool con

Alexis My feet hurried through the bustling school corridors and I was headed to the library. I had to do something to fix my grades, especially now that I was in senior high when it was a humiliation to flunk out. I had to maintain a good student persona and not get distracted by Craig and the damn staff of authority. Craig had his future set. He was great at sports and his dad was so influential that he had a spot in the best universities. My cred was already bad after returning from rehab. Knowing that if I didn't study enough, I could miss out on graduation fuelled my drive. It began drizzling as soon as I got to the library. The building was quiet as usual, with a few werewolves studying in groups and vampires reading on their own. I ducked my head at the sight of Westin who was browsing through the shelves. The last thing I wanted was to chitchat. After finding an empty table tucked away in a quiet corner away from prying eyes, I fished out my calculus textbook, determine

Alexis Against my will, I glanced around the class, checking the vampire section for any sight of Craig. He was nowhere in sight and my burden grew by the second, wondering what was up with him. No matter how hard I tried to focus on the lesson, my mind kept drifting back to his absence. My cheeks burned in shame for investing my feelings in that douchebag who couldn't care less about me. "Tara, have you seen Craig today?" I pulled her hair aside and whispered in her ear. Tara gasped, turning slowly to face me with eyes wide like two boiled eggs. "What the fuck, Alexis?" She glared at me, " Why are you asking me about that stupid boy?" I sighed, drawing doodles in my book. "It's nothing personal. I just... Well, we have to discuss our project." Tara relaxed, shrugging nonchalantly. "I don't care about him or any bloodsucker. Maybe he caught some STD or something." Her chin geared back and she burst into loud laughter. I shook my head at her foolishness. "No, seriously. I
