All Chapters of Her Dark Knight: Chapter 1 - Chapter 7

"Come on, Billie, come back here. You can't keep avoiding your problems like this," my mom shouts as I sprint up the stairs to my room. She just doesn't understand how much this move is going to ruin my life. While she gets to stay with her new husband and stepchildren, I'm being uprooted from my life in a big city in New York and forced to live in a small town in South Carolina with my father, whom I haven't seen in years. "How am I running from my problems, mom?" I yell back at her. "You're sending me to a place I don't know, to live with a man I barely know, all because you got remarried and want to start a new family with them. So, tell me, who's really running from what? Did I become too inconvenient for you? Can't mold me into the perfect child anymore, so you're shipping me off and starting fresh with the new ones?" "Look, Billie, your father hasn't had any responsibilities in your life, so we decided together that it's his turn to have you in his house," my mom explains, but

I arrived at the address Kade had given me, initially unsure if it was the correct location. However, upon seeing other kids heading into the nearby woods, I parked my car and followed them. As I entered a clearing, I noticed a large fire where everyone was gathered. Spotting Kade and Shaylee conversing with some other kids, I approached them. "Hey guys," I greeted them as I reached the fire. "Hey Billie, you made it!" Shaylee exclaimed, running up to me and giving me a hug. I felt grateful to have made such a sweet friend so quickly. "Do you want a drink?" Shaylee offered. We stood around the bonfire when a Bronco pulled up with a group of guys inside. I glanced over and noticed the driver - Andrew. Well, that's just great. Andrew and his wrestling brothers were here. I had hoped he would be too cool for an event like this. Okay, maybe I was secretly hoping he wouldn't be interested in this kind of gathering. "You okay?" Shaylee asked, noticing my expression. "Yeah, why?" I replied

"So, you're the wolf that visits me every night?" I inquire, looking at Andrew. "Why do you treat me so poorly at school and around others, only to reveal your true self when we're alone?" Andrew sighs, appearing slightly embarrassed. "When I walked into our first class together and felt that connection to you, I was furious. I couldn't believe I had imprinted on someone like you. You're nobody, and well, I'm me," he explains. "You should be ashamed. My father and stepmother may not live in a fancy house like yours, but they're not poor peasants," I retort, feeling a surge of anger. "Let me go, Andrew. I won't play these games with you. And what do you mean by imprinting on me?" I demand, trying to break free from his grasp. "Come back and sit down, Billie, and I'll explain it to you," he calmly suggests. Reluctantly, I comply and return to the fire pit where we were sitting before. "Okay, explain to me what you mean by imprinting on me," I say, my voice filled with curiosity. And

This morning when I woke up for school, Loki was still laying in my bed. He must have gotten hot because he is laying at the end of the bed this morning. “Loki, it’s time for school I tell him and he jumps off the bed then shifts to his human form. “Did you know you snore?” Andrew teases me. Gasping at him. “I don’t,” I say throwing my head over my chest as if he wounded me. “You do too and you talk in your sleep.” “I don’t, oh god what do I say in my sleep?” I ask him. “You tell me how much you love me.” He says, winking at me. I just roll my eyes at him. “You are so full of crap. Go get ready for school and meet me back here in five.” I told him. “Oh, little miss independent, not feeling up to arguing with me about driving her own car today.” Andrew playfully taunts once more. “Would it do any good?” I ask, raising my eyebrows. Andrew shakes his head no, smirking at me, then jumps out my window. I shake my head and laugh. Andrew was showing a whole different side to himself.
