Chapter 11: Janette.

"Potatoes please."I nod and walk over to the huge container filled with mashed potatoes. This is the lunch break and as is evident by the look the lunch lady is giving me, I'm being a lousy help.I sigh and walk back to my station. I am skilled with a knife so I'm guessing she's bummed that I'm cutting up the carrots faster than she expected."Ewww, what the hell is that?"The disgust in the voice I hear is powerful and I focus on slicing my carrot into four equal strips first. Not everyone likes cafeteria food but they don't have to be such snobs about it."No Lev, I'm not talking about that, I mean that other thing. The one behind the table chopping up.... what is that even, carrots?"The knife almost slips and cuts my finger. I look up and there's a group of uber-pretty girls staring back at me in disgust. They're decked out in designer outfits and gleaming necklaces. The girl staring at me the meanest is the leader I suppose. She has pretty green eyes but all they remind me of ri

Chapter 12: Janette.

"You didn't tell me Cara's gotten so pretty now."Drake says those words like he means them as a compliment but I can already see what he wants to do. Unluckily for him, Cara sees it too and shoots him a smile."I never expected I would say this but thank you, Drake. I've always told Janette I'm better than most males around, she should just leave them and get married to me."Axel's look turns ugly and at this moment the only thing I can think of is how I've managed to be blind to all his faults for so long. I feel like they were staring me right in the face but I chose to ignore them.He turns to me and wipes that look off his face. In my head, his face is that of someone familiar. Someone I had foolish emotions for and who has been my friend this whole time. The sound of slapping skin floods my ears again and I blush.Hell. I haven't even told Cara about that. She would have ripped him to pieces by now if she knew."Can we go somewhere more private, Janette?""I think here's private

Chapter 13: Janette.

"But I can explain Janette. I can explain."Cara's impression of Drake fails to put a smile on my face and I glare at her. She sticks her tongue out at me and walks back to her seat laughing. At least today she's sitting and not following me around.I didn't inform Drake of my knowledge of his relationship with my sister. For all I know he and Jane could have termed it something casual, or have actual feelings for each other though I doubt that's true, at least not from where I'm standing.Whatever it may be, already being caught red-handed felt like enough humiliation. He had tried to grab my hand and make me listen to him but Cara just threatened to break his arm off if he did. At least he remembered what I told him about her in that regard."Janette, less staring out into space and more taking orders. People are waiting!"Heat rises to my cheeks and I nod as I take a look around the cafe. Sure enough, people are waiting and they're all directing confused glances at me. I am in a fi

Chapter 14: Xavier.

She stills and I know she's seen the bruises peppering the side of my neck. Reeve shifts uncomfortably beside me, or rather his aura does and my head comes up with several reasons for that. One of the most plausible ones is that his privileged ass is finding the seat uncomfortable. Janette's worry subsides and she clears her throat. I place my focus back on her and the brilliance of her aura almost blinds me again. Which would be ironic because I'm already blind. "Did you hurt your neck somewhere, a fall maybe?" I chuckle and shake my head at the same time. "You can ask me direct questions, y'know. I'll answer them as truthfully as I can." I feel something warm radiate off her and it makes me feel relieved. I know that's what she also feels. "What happened to you then? A six-foot tall man doesn't just develop bruises at the side of the neck." I smile and nod. "How many six-foot men have you known in your life, Janette? You sound like you deal with ten or twenty of us in a good

Chapter 15: Janette.

"Who's the guy in midnight blue?"I look over to the table Cara is inquiring about and I shrug my shoulders after."His name is Reeve. He's here with my regular."I pick up some mugs as I speak and I smile at the sight of a ten-dollar note. The customers here always know how to tip and in such sweet ways too. Just leaving it there for me to find like some gift when I'm cleaning up. I tuck the bill into my pocket and go back to the task I was carrying out. I wipe the table and its leftover contents onto the tray the dirty mugs are on and turn back to find Cara staring at me. I can already tell what she's thinking."Something's made you sad hasn't it?"I don't even think I can lie if I wanted to. It's plain as day on my face and I feel so frustrated right now because why??? Why the hell do I have to feel sad or rueful at something that has totally nothing to do with me???I let out a sigh and give a small smile to my best friend. She'll get worried if I don't tell her, and I will, jus

Chapter 16: Janette.

"Talk about what, Drake? About how you've been lying to me and playing me for a fool or about how you've been sleeping with Jane every Thursday instead of going to your classes and making me look like an even bigger fool by giving you so much money and putting so much faith in you?"The rage bubbles in my chest and irritation makes my skin itch. I've been so foolish. So damn foolish.The ache at the back of my neck and the clammy feeling on my face makes me remember things. Endless shifts and two hours of sleep on the weekdays. Juggling classes and eating once a day just so I can save money for him. Sacrificing the things I wanted just to make sure he was able to afford his "study materials."Fuck. I wanted this to be a stepping stone for him. Some more knowledge at his disposal and something he can rely on to stand out from the crowd. He seemed so serious and made me believe he took this as seriously as I took it for him.But where are we now?"You're so disgusting Janette."My mi

Chapter 17: Ayden.

"Where's the girl now?"Axel taps a moving figure on the map and I nod, watching the black dot blink in and out of existence for a while before I look away."And Xavier?"Axel taps another spot and the deep silver dot signifying my son's location also begins blinking. His dot is also in motion and I watch as he approaches a pulsing point of gold. Me, and this house.I nod in satisfaction at the smooth functioning of the trackers placed on Janette and Xavier respectively. They're yet to meet but it's okay for now. I don't see a need to rush their meeting so much.A werewolf finding their mate has to be planned with precision when it's not a natural occurrence. Xavier will suspect if their meeting is anything less than perfect, and I'll also be annoyed if I can't pull off something as tasking as this. My scriptwriters are working on lines, all of them werewolves who have found their mates and experienced the mate bond revealing itself in its own unique way. I can't rope in too many peo

Chapter 18: Janette.

"Yes, Mr. Bravlov?""I said call me Ayden. Are we going to have to go through this every time we speak?"I gulp down the nervousness I feel and try to wish away all the weary exhaustion in my bones. The man on the phone is someone I cannot afford to lose and for the sake of my sanity and my future, I don't think I want to lose him."I'm sorry for that, I'll get used to it."He grunts and his voice comes out thick and contemplative."Call me Mr. Ayden then, at least for now. I expect you to grow out of it by next week though."I sigh in relief and nod my head as I give a response."Thank you, Mr. Ayden. I'll get the hang of this soon."I hear him grunt over the phone and soon we are plunged into silence. There's nothing I can think of to say and I can imagine that he has something he wants to say. That's why he called, isn't it? "Did you find a place to camp out tonight then?"I nod and hum at the same time, although taken aback by the fact that he cares about that. My eyes dart arou

Chapter 19: Janette.

"Sleep well?"I stop just short of going out the door and turn to see Greg crossing the living room. His shirt, just a bit too short and revealing a strip of skin. I look away before I become redder than a tomato.I shall not give in to temptation."Are you okay Janette?"I jump from the spot I'm standing in and my heart almost bursts out of my chest. I turn back to see Greg standing right behind me and for the next few moments, I can't think of anything sensible. I finally manage to stutter some words out. "How? B...but you?" Greg flicks me on the forehead and I frown. "Hey? How the hell did you move so fast? ""That's for me to know and for you to keep on wondering about. Sleep well?"I nod and try to calm the rapid beating of my heart. I really should be more grateful to him but he's already said he'll throw me out if I tell him thank you again. It would be stressful for both of us if he threw me out so I'll just act like this, like we're roommates and I do not feel like I am in

Chapter 20: Janette.

"Fancy meeting you here."I nod at that and smile back at Reeve. He's seated on a couch opposite me, or rather on the same couch, just opposite me. The couch extends in a full half circle and I am maintaining the necessary distance by sitting this far.Reeve doesn't seem so inclined though. He moves closer until he's right beside me and staring at me intently.I feel so self-conscious right now that I could pass out. He offers me a smile and I smile back, calming down a bit.I met him here, so what? He looked rich when I saw him yesterday, and if he is then there should be no issue with him being an acquaintance of the Bravlov family. All rich people seem to know each other anyway so it's not a problem.Actually, it is a problem because I'm poor as shit. It would have been better if we didn't meet here like this. He's not asked me what I'm here for, and my overactive imagination is cooking up a number of nasty things."Are you uncomfortable somewhere?"The heat radiating off his body
