THE LYCAN PRINCE OF WESTSIDE EDEN
I smelled it the instant I sat on my bed. My heart picked up its pace, and slowly, I got on my feet, careful not to make a sound. But suddenly, he was there, idling by the mirror, his golden eyes dangerously darker behind those glasses.
I tried to speak, but only an inaudible sound came out.
“Whose perfume do you have on you, Isabella?” His deep-set tone covers every inch of my room. I should be terrified. I was. Yet my big mouth got the better of me.
“It’s none of your business.”
“You kissed him,” he said, leaning away from the mirror.
“And you are engaged,” I retorted, raising my hands exasperatedly. “I guess this night is just full of surprises.”
In the blink of an eye, before I got my last word out, he was right in front of me, one hand on my waist, pulling me flush against him. I could taste the warmth of his breath on my tongue, and unconsciously, my eyes fluttered closed.
My father abandoned me seven years ago. So, when my mother ships me off to spend my senior year with him in Westside Eden, I expect the worst.
I don’t expect wolves. Or the nerdy man with golden eyes who looks at me like he wants to kiss me… and kill me. I don’t expect his younger brother to fall for me.
Aiden is everything I should stay away from – rude, cold, untouchable, every girl’s dream, engaged. But every time danger finds me, he’s already there, watching…
Lying to me.
And then, I discover the truth. The reason Aiden has been watching, the reason my father walked out on us all those years ago.
And the reason my new best friend wants me dead.

Chapter: Chapter 12Isabella POV "You're doing the thing again," Sheila said, snapping her fingers in front of my face. "The staring-into-space thing.""I'm fine." I locked my phone screen, even though the photo was already burned into my memory ... that girl's face, that caption, that comment. Future Mrs. Kingston. "Just tired.""Uh-huh." She clearly didn't believe me, but the bell saved me from having to explain, and by the time the final period ended, I'd almost managed to shove the whole thing into a drawer in my head labeled deal with this later.Marv was waiting by my locker, bouncing on his heels like he had somewhere urgent to be."So," he said. "I've been thinking.""Dangerous.""Hilarious. I've been thinking that you've officially survived one whole week of Westside Eden, which means it's time for the official welcome tour.""The what?""The Marv Kingston Guaranteed You'll-Never-Want-To-Leave Tour." He grinned, and it was such an easy, sunny grin that some of the tightness in my chest actually

Chapter: Chapter 11Isabella POV"Okay, that was weird, right?" I said. "Tell me that was weird.""That was so weird." Sheila grabbed my tray and mine both, hauling us three tables away like the distance itself could fix it. "Also, ten out of ten, do not make eye contact with the nose ring guy again. He gives off serial killer energy.""Thanks, very comforting.""I try." She dropped into a seat and immediately stole one of my fries, completely unbothered by the fact that my hands were still shaking a little. "Okay. Since you're clearly spiraling, let me distract you with gossip. Everyone in this town either works for the Kingstons or is scared of them. That's basically the whole social order, in one sentence.""You said that already.""Did I? Feels important enough to say twice." She leaned in, lowering her voice like she was handing over classified information. "So, Marv's dad basically runs the town. Old money, old everything, nobody really knows the full story. And Aiden's, like, the heir. Which is a

Chapter: Chapter 10Isabella POV "You're staring," a voice said behind me. "It's kind of creepy, actually."I spun around so fast I nearly dropped my schedule. A girl with wild curly hair and an even wilder grin was watching me like I was the most entertaining thing to happen to this hallway all year."I wasn't staring," I said. "I was surviving.""Same thing, honestly." She grabbed both my hands like she needed to check I was real. "Oh my God. You're actually here. I was starting to think I made you up.""You've never even met me.""We've texted for three weeks. That counts." She looped her arm through mine like we'd known each other for years, not minutes. "I'm Sheila, by the way. In case you forgot the name of the only person in this school who actually likes you already.""Bold of you to assume anyone dislikes me.""Give it an hour." She steered me down the hallway, completely unbothered by the fact that every single head turned as we passed. I kept my chin up and my face blank, the way you learn to

Chapter: Chapter 9Aiden's POVShe doesn't move.I think she had even forgotten how to breathe, her lips were cracked open as she stared intensely at me in surprise.She had this astonished look, so was I. I didn't believe I could say that, more like I was pushed into saying that.Then her voice came out choking, “ Did I hear you right?” She still didn't believe that I could say it, her eyes lingered over my form.My lips thinned, I looked down at her petite figure as I noticed how close we were and I pulled away immediately, stumbling backwards with an excuse.“ It's” I tried to explain.She cut me short, raising her eyebrows as she tattled in a mimicking tone, I believe she was mimicking me“ The great Aiden apologizes. This should be a headline because…”I think I never understood how serious this was until she had said it like this. I stood awkwardly in place, scratching my hair softly as I croaked, “ That's not what you think.”But she doesn't stop, she's engrossed in her own little world.I cleare

Chapter: Chapter EightIsabelle's POV “ Bells.” My dad's voice rang out. I shot up from the bed, dark circles underneath my eyes as my hair resembled a bird nest and my bedsheet were all rumpled. I let out a grunt. I just stared at the door, unmoving as I scratched my head with a tired yawn. I felt I was about to fall back into bed, I felt so tired like my arms were about to give out but I just couldn't. My eyes refused to close. My brain couldn't shut down. “ Ahhhh! This is all his fault.” I screamed loudly, I pulled at my hair. My mind went back to that jerk’s face Aiden and a smile crept up my face. “ Stop it, Isabelle.” I convinced myself, slapping my cheeks as I tried to focus. I was pulled away from my thoughts as my dad's knock and worried voice came through the door, “ Bells, are you alright? Should I come in?” He asked.“ No.” I yelled. I stood up from the bed, walking straight to the mirror as I wretched from how messed up I looked right now. He sighed. “ Okay, just be fast. Breakfast

Chapter: CHAPTER SEVENAiden's POV My eyes refused to shut, my wolf stirring within me. “ Micah.” I sighed, tossing in the bed as my hand clenched the bedsheet to hold myself. Micah growled within me, howling one thing over and over again, “ Those boys were uncanny.” He repeated. Those words didn't stop, he seemed so sure about it. And I couldn't dissuade that feeling within my heart. Their scent. The malicious look on their faces. Even their footprint. Every single thing, I remembered it and it wasn't just that one player but the entire team. There was something about them that didn't sit well with me from the moment I set my eyes on them. “ Micah.” I called out. He doesn't answer right away, then he grunts as I feel my body rumble as he says, “ They aren't normal.” We both had the same thought, those were the outsiders that had been howling. But why were they here? For Isabelle? Why would they be here for a human?I stood up slowly, moving to the window that showed me the view of the pack as I s
