I could literally feel the awkwardness.Somehow I had gotten stuck sitting in between Joshua and Bea in the SUV.We were using two pack vehicles, the first one - which was ahead of us - was being driven by Peterwith Allison, Joshua, Andre and Courtney riding with him.The rest of us were with May.Bea sat with her arms crossed against her chest and Joshua just stared out the window.May didn't speak either and I wondered if she too understood the gravity of the situation. She wasTristan's apprentice, which meant by default she had to know his brothers. How personal theirrelationship was the question. Like how well did she understand Bea and Joshua's relationship?We were driving past the town centre, I caught a glimpse of one of Chris' mother's employeesopening up the bakery. I sighed thinking about how she was probably starting a fresh batch of incrossbuns.I had worked for Mrs Gonzalez for two summers in the past with Kat just to make a little pocketmoney. It was a really fun e

I wasn't going to. At least not in front of her.Bridget's eyes flashed blue.She looked back at me. "Tristan is here." She muttered.She turned to start walking away.I followed quietly, still just trying to hold myself up.I honestly didn't want to see Tristan after what Bridget had just told me. But I knew refusing wouldjust cause more problems.So I just let my feet guide me.HQ was impressive for a building that was mostly hidden in the middle of the forest.They had somehow managed to make it look more spacious than it seemed.But with the mood I was in, I didn't even pay as much attention as I was supposed to.The minute we got to the bottom of the stairs, I sensed Tristan's presence.I saw his back first. There were soldiers surrounding him, listening and nodding along to whatever hewas saying. "Okay, you're dismissed." He told them and they dispersed. All except two, who continued talking tohim. I rrealised that it was Peter and Instructor Raphael. Tristan suddenly turne

"You are not failing werewolf history, not if I have anything to do with it." Roman spoke as he settled down on the grass beside me. What I thought was going to be a romantic picnic in the park with no mountain climbing whatsoever turned out to be a surprise study session. I had to say, even if this wasn’t my idea of a date, I was impressed by the effort. He had made flashcards and his old notes and books and all my favourite snacks were here, chocolate covered strawberries, tortilla chips, salted pistachios... the works. "How did you even know I was failing history?" I groaned as I picked up a chip and bit into it. Kat always hated the fact that I liked eating tortilla chips without dip. "Kat." Roman shrugged as he leaned against the tree we had chosen for shade. I rolled my eyes. I usually wasn't embarrassed by my grades. I worked really hard for them after all. But then there was werewolf history, something I hadn't even known existed until recently. So of course I was

"You look like a princess!" Hazel gasped. I ran my hand down the fabric of my dress, smoothing it over before taking in a deep breath. "You think so?" I asked. She nodded as she came around the dress, lifting the skirt. "It's so flowy." I smiled. Aunt Sarah was a miracle workerKat and I had gone from store to store for days looking for the perfect dress. But nothing we found was good enough. And if they were, they were way above my budget. Roman had offered to pay but I had firmly refused him. I knew that he usually saved the money he got from working for Uncle Victor because his foster parents hardly gave him a penny. And he was still a few weeks away from getting his AAP allowance. I wasn't at all comfortable with taking money from Roman. Kat and I had pretty much given up on finding a dress for the ball until Aunt Sarah came to the rescue. She had a seamstress friend, Miss Rachel, who had been making bridesmaid dresses. One of the dresses had been left behind because

"I don't need to hear you say it back, Crystal. I honestly don't. But I love you. And I know I don't deserve your love because you were right, I'm broken." Ha!"... I just wanted to give you something that special as well. Something you would take with you everywhere you go. Almost like you have a piece of me with you... Do you like it?" Oh why yes, Ro, I simply adore being spied on."The Silvercrest pack is all I've ever really known as home." Then why did you betray them?"Crystal... I'm still here." No, you're not Ro."We can have anything we want, Crystal. I can give us anything we want. Even Woodfell." I never wanted Woodfell, Roman, I wanted you!“My Lady is right here, where else would I rather be?” Liar!I remember the day Roman left like it was yesterday. It was so ordinary and boring, it's still a wonderTTInfoSign up Log inhow I remembered it so vividly.It was a Thursday. Because bad things only happen on Thursdays.
