Waiting for you: Howling Hearts 2/Arden River
I swung my leg high. Feeling the satisfying crack of my shin hitting Tyler’s rib.He grunted at the pain that was surging through his ribs and lungs, causing a big breath to escape his lips.He countered with a swift jab to my ribs. His jabs were filled with strength, causing my side to explode with pain.But I ignored it. I took a few steps back and circled him, my eyes fixed on him like a predator its prey.The training grounds were rumbling with the sounds of clashing bodies and shouted instructions.The scent of sweat and blood mingled in the air as everyone was fighting as if though they truly were on a battlefield.Drawing blood wasn’t against the rules. But we couldn’t kill for obvious reasons.The afternoon sun casts long shadows, highlighting the grit and determination carved in every face that’s training today.Including me.But today was different.Today, my strikes were precise, my movements swift and sharp.As anger and frustration fueled every punch and every kick.Today

Avoidance, camouflage and disappearance had become my new normal. Since my birthday, I had been doing everything in my power to stay out of Xander’s way.It wasn’t easy, especially at school, where our paths were bound to cross. In class, it was hard to ignore his oh so lovely scent. Making it hard for me to concentrate.For an entire week, I had dodged him however I could.Skipping lunch just so that we wouldn’t end up being close to one another.Nor having to smell that scent of his making me fall in love with him even more.Ive always had some sort of crush on him. He was a sweet soul.With a lot of care and patience for those he cared for. He was also strong and very protective of his loved ones. But he was smart, too.All aspects that made me love him. But more reason to avoid him.But today, the moon goddess seemed determined to make her match.We were all assembled in the school hall was, and there was no escaping from it.Everyone was over the moon and whispering to one anothe

I could barely sleep last night.The events of yesterday were still fresh and refusing to make space for anything else to happen in my mind.I dragged myself out of bed, heading to the bathroom.Hoping that a cold shower would ease my mind and calm my heart.“ping"my phone got an incoming message. I checked to see it was the school council group chat.Amanda (devils child): Asap meeting for mate ball at 7:30 :)I looked at the screen waiting to see who will anounce thier participation.Xander ’ll be there.Everyone else answered and I could see everyone else was going to be there.Suddenly, a private text of Xander popped up.Xander ’ll be there. I’m terrible at writing things down and my memory seems to fail me at a young age already. Pleaseee I need you to help me keep my father off my back.Me: Sure thing, boss!It sure was slightly easier speaking to him over the phone where the mate bond wasn’t as rough.After getting dressed in casual green sweatpants

The following day, me and Xander walked to school together again.Amanda was walking only a few feet behind us.I could feel her glare drilling a hole the size of a lemon in the back of my head.A few times would glare back at her. A war was brewing between the two of us.One without words or actions, but it was getting heated.Xander leaned down slightly. “ignore her, she’s just jealous.” He chuckled.“Of what?” I retorted, looking him straight in the eye.Hoping he would say words I didn’t even know I wanted to hear so badly.I hated that every body begged for his acceptance.For his touch.For his attention.“Us,” he said, holding my gaze.His eyes filled with tenderness.I felt the familiar heat dance across my cheeks again.Making me break the eye contact and look at my feet, which had suddenly become so interesting.He chuckled softly beside me. Which only made me wonder if this was all a game to him.Was he toying with me? I shook the thought out of my head.I knew Xander we ha

We held each other’s glare, the room so silent as everyone's eyes were on us. I could see Amanda think about what her next step would be.Would she turn around and lose some dignity after I finally stood u to her or would she go ahead with the fight that I would win? Even with this dress.I put my hair up into a ponytail, signaling to her I’m ready to go if she wanted to. Dylan cleared his throat, making Amanda break eye contact with me. She smiled friendly and turned to walk away.Her shoes clicking, echoing through the hall.“I’m not dressed for the occasion, but I will take you up on that offer when I am, “she said, looking back.Part of me was disappointed that I couldn’t kick her ass right , right now.But the other part of me was happy it would happen.I was tired of her bullying and tormenting.I was tired of her accusations.I was tired of her as a whole.I was itching to let her know just how fed up I was with her.She and her group of friends left the hall, whispering after
