Chapter: Couple 2JOSHUAWe’ve been sitting on this bus for two hours now and I’m starting to get impatient. It’s 4:30 p.m. and the sun is going to set in about ten minutes. Apparently that fact plays an important role in our destination. Daniela hasn’t given me any other hint about where we’re going besides that.We haven’t talked much during the ride—just shared earbuds and listened to music while I watch Daniela’s reflection in the window as she reads the book she brought.— We’re here. — she says excitedly, closing her book and putting it away in her bag.— Finally. — I reply, pausing the music and taking out the earbud before putting it away and stepping off the bus.It’s cold outside and the wind feels stronger today. Good thing Daniela and I are bundled up in our jackets, gloves, and masks. I stretch my back and legs to wake my body up after sitting for so long.— We’re here?I look around—exposed brick buildings, small restaurants, and hardly anyone walking by, but nothing really stands out. I’

Chapter: Couple 2JOSHUA— So, what’s really going on with you, Freddie? — I ask.We’re all sitting side by side on the floor of my room, backs against the bed.I’d already talked to Anthony beforehand about bringing it up with Freddie after what happened yesterday, but in the first hour he was here we couldn’t find the right moment or the right words, so I decided to just cut to the chase.— This is about yesterday, isn’t it? — he asks, not even bothering to play dumb.— Yeah. What’s actually going on between you and Logan? — Anthony asks.— Nothing’s going on. We just… — He looks stressed and can’t even finish a sentence.— Is our question making you that uncomfortable? — I ask, honestly not expecting this kind of reaction from him.— Can you guys promise you won’t change the way you act around me if I tell you? — He sits up straighter and grabs a decorative pillow from the bed, hugging it to his lap.— Why would we change? Unless you murdered someone, I don’t see any reason we’d start treating you d

Chapter: Couple 2JOSHUAI shift uncomfortably on the soft beige couch, feeling out of place at Priscila’s birthday party.I was surprised, to say the least, when Daniela told me that Priscila wanted me and the guys to be here. Don’t get me wrong—Daniela’s friends are cool and… well, most of them are fine—but I don’t really consider them my friends.Besides Daniela, the only other person here I could actually see myself being friends with is Logan. The rest are nice company, but that’s about it. For example, I can’t imagine randomly texting Luna to grab coffee and have a deep conversation.Personality-wise, I don’t really click with any of them. Priscila, Luna, Kayro, and even Ryan are all way more open, loud, and extroverted than I am. I’m much quieter, I don’t like going to big parties or clubs, and I don’t talk much.So I have no idea why Priscila invited me, Freddie, and Anthony. Maybe she sees us as friends, or maybe she just enjoys our company. The only reason I’m here is because I didn’t want to

Chapter: Couple 2JOSHUAThe soft coconut scent enveloping my senses keeps me calm.I don’t know how long I’ve been lying here, awake, thinking about everything. I didn’t bother checking the time when I woke up. The lack of windows in this room also makes it harder for me to tell what time it is.I keep running my fingers through Daniela’s soft strands of hair while I lie awake beside her. This couch isn’t the most comfortable place to sleep, but strangely enough, I had one of the best nights of sleep in my life. I didn’t wake up once during the night, and I didn’t have any nightmares either. Actually, I didn’t dream about anything at all—and that’s exactly how I prefer it.At first, I was nervous about sharing sleeping space with Daniela, and part of me thought she might feel the same way, which is why I offered to go to another room. But deep down I knew that if I did, I wouldn’t be able to sleep. I’d probably stay up all night, tossing and turning in every possible position, trying to get comfortabl

Chapter: Couple 2DANIELA— Ugh, I’m so done with this. I can’t study anymore. — Ryan complains while we’re sitting in the library, working on our final assignments for this semester.The holidays came and went in the blink of an eye, and now we’re back to fearing life and questioning our decision to go to university. Maybe we should have chosen part-time studies, but whatever, we’re pushing through this year full throttle.It’s already been two weeks since we welcomed the new year, and all I’ve done is study and study even more. I have two assignments due this month; I handed one in a few days ago, and now I’m working on the last one, which is due next week.— I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I agree with you. — Logan says, pushing his keyboard away so he can rest his head on the table.— Same here. — Freddie adds, tossing his pen onto the table and watching it roll to the edge before it falls to the floor. — This is such bullshit. — he mutters, bending down to pick it up.We had planned for eve

Chapter: Couple 2JOSHUAThis place is way less crowded than the last party we went to, and I already prefer this one.The music isn’t too loud, so you can actually hear the other person clearly without having to shout or speak into their ear. The lighting is low, but you can still see everything, and there are no annoying flashing lights that hurt your eyes after a while.The party is happening in one of the common areas of the student association building, so there are sofas around, two pool tables, and drinks on the side table. The sofas have been pushed back to create more space for people to dance.“So, who exactly is this party for?” I ask Daniela while she sips her orange juice.“It’s a party my class organized just for us. It’s mostly for the international students who couldn’t go home or chose to stay here, but everyone in our class is welcome and we can bring plus-ones, so that’s how we got in,” she says, looking around the place.“That’s really cool,” I murmur.“Hey, gorgeous, long time no s

Chapter: Chapter 165TRAVIS"Do you realize you're in a boy's room, alone, Miss Warner?" I ask in a failed attempt to recover my sanity. Emile laughed softly, placing her hands on my shoulders, and without further ado, swung her legs to either side of me and leaned in for another kiss. I swear I tried to resist, especially when she gently pushed my shoulders and made me lie down on the bed. She pulled back, looking out of breath, and asked hoarsely: "What are you going to do with that information?" she questioned, and without ceremony, sat right on my lap. There, She sat there. I saw the exact moment she realized I was hard. Emile looked between her legs before raising her eyes back to my face, palms flat on my chest, gave a slight push, and rubbed her body against mine. The friction caused drew startled groans. It was obvious we weren't expecting something like this... Just that brief contact was so good, and pleasurable... That thread of mental health? Snapped. I grabbed her waist in a

Chapter: Chapter 164TRAVIS A WEEK LATER You know the worst part about getting my revenge? It was the feeling of emptiness that followed, especially after hearing the news that Sebastian had been murdered in a prison brawl. I expected that. Then why did everything seem so meaningless? After that day at the hospital, where I escaped death, after crying for what felt like an eternity until the nurse walked into the room and found me kneeling on the floor, the days passed without me feeling a thing. My mother was buried in a simple, quick ceremony, and the only ones who showed up were Brad and his fiancée Fernanda, my friend Chad and his girlfriend. They were the only ones who knew about my mother and what had happened; I wanted it that way and was grateful. After the funeral, watching my mother be buried—every shovel of dirt thrown onto her grave felt like a piece of me being taken away—leaving nothing behind except the uncomfortable sensation of having to return to real life and face the fact that th

Chapter: Chapter 163TRAVISThe receptionist recognized me without me needing to announce myself; she was already used to my constant visits. I looked at my hands and took a nervous, deep breath. The bouquet of flowers I had bought with the money I swiped from Marlon at the first opportunity he slipped up weighed in my hands. I walked toward the room where my mother was.I took a deep breath, feeling the sweat build up on my back. I always got like this when visiting her, seeing how the illness had left the woman who raised me—so thin and lifeless. Yet she fought every day, clinging to life with all her might while withering away slowly.As if waiting for something...I walked into the room, and the first thing I noticed was the TV on the news channel. The stamped image of Sebastian Bennett being put into a squad car was the last thing I saw before the television was turned off.I felt something heavy against my head and heard the door close behind me.My heart skipped a beat before hammering franti

Chapter: Chapter 162TRAVIS"All is well, that ends well," Chad said, relieved that everything had turned out all right.All is well, that ends well?Reflecting on those words, almost everything had gone down the drain. My plan was to leak to Marlon, the police, and the entire media all the corruption and schemes of Sebastian Bennett and leave it to the adults to handle the rest. And when Sebastian was sent to the same prison where he had sent some of his enemies and suffered greatly, my revenge would be complete. But my plan hadn't gone into action. I reflected on what to do with everything I had discovered, especially after finding out something much worse that I wished I had never seen, and decided what to do with that information—information that, if leaked, would certainly mean my death.Sebastian had very dangerous information in his hands, and if it were discovered and leaked by me, I would be screwed.And that indecision and hesitation was my mistake. Because of Sheila, almost everything went to h

"James is what, a year and a half old? Who would have thought that while still breastfeeding you could get pregnant! And with triplets!"Miranda cried and messed up her hair."Please do not say it out loud! It makes it all even more real!""Okay," I started seriously. "But Miranda, seriously, tell your dear friend with all sincerity, are you sure you do not intend to form a soccer team of Warner children? No, better yet, a battalion?""I changed my mind," she said, snapping her fingers. "What color do you prefer to wear when you are in your coffin?"I couldn't help it and laughed uncontrollably."Okay, I will stop!" I said a short time later, catching my breath. I saw that Miranda was bravely trying to keep her angry expression, but a smile insisted on appearing. "Seven kids, wow, who would have thought, Mir

Chapter: Chapter 160ANDREIA12 years later...."Aaandréiaaaa." Miranda's heavy voice was an indication of her irritation. I swallow hard and looked temptingly at the window, wondering how severe my injuries would be if I jumped from a height of twenty feet.I would definitely rather face a fall from that height than an angry Miranda, especially when I am to blame for her mood. I got up from my chair ready to run for my life when the door was opened abruptly, and Miranda stormed into my office still dressed in her blue plaid suit and black dress pants, an obvious indication that she left work in a hurry to be there.Her pale blue eyes radiated a pure desire to kill me. Unable to resist, I opened my arms and smiled as happily as I could, in an Oscar-worthy performance."What a surprise to see you here! To what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?" I ask.My best friend and possibly my murderer took off her high heels and walked towards me. I took two steps back, putting the desk between us."You told Izzy

Betrayed With The Best Man, Claimed By The Wolf
April Glass believed she was living a fairy tale. David Lane, her best friend and fiancé, was the prototype of the perfect husband: attentive, protective, and, above all, faithful to his vow of virginity until their wedding night. But just minutes before saying "I do," the dream shattered. The sound of moans echoing from a private room in the chapel revealed the cruelest betrayal of all. David wasn’t just breaking his vows—he was with the best man! April flees, racing through the streets in her wedding dress, mascara streaming down her face and her heart in pieces. In her blind desperation, she stumbles into traffic, colliding directly with her destiny... or rather, the hood of a red car. Ryan Adams is a volunteer firefighter with a wild secret: he is a werewolf. He didn't expect a runaway bride to appear in front of him, much less that she would be his fated mate. April is wounded, suspicious, and ready to run from anyone. Ryan is willing to do whatever it takes to heal her scars. She swore never to trust a man again; he swore he would never let her escape.

Chapter: Chapter 102Michael"Are you ready, Firecracker?" I said, kissing the top of her head. "Although I like having you blindfolded, it is very exciting.""If you are going to start with your insinuations again, I will take off the blindfold." She could be tough when she set her mind to it, and it was something I fucking loved."Can you blame me? We are at home, alone, and I have you entirely at my mercy." I began to run my hands down her bare arms, thankful that she was wearing the slip dress."Michael, I have not seen the surprise yet. Can you wait a little longer?" But as I listened to her words, I left soft kisses on her neck.Her skin was so soft; I wanted to worship her, to make her feel all the love I could give her, and this time I would do it right. When Firecracker let out her breath in a soft moan, I was completely lost. She had ignited the fire inside of me.I thought I was in control, but Firecracker wanted to have it too. I knew it when she took my hand, leading me to the bedroom.So Fir

Chapter: Chapter 101Abby"I am sorry to interrupt you, but I must check on the patient." I jumped at the sound of Elena's voice. My first impulse was to pull away from Michael as if I were about to suffer a heart attack.I tried to pull away from Michael, but the damn guy would not let go of my face. He had a big smile tattooed on his handsome face. Which, if he did not let go of me soon, I would slap right off."Elena, I told you to prepare yourself to deal with a child," I exclaimed, pulling away from Michael's strong grip."You did not think I was a child a moment ago, Firecracker. Although I really want to play a game with you. I know you will like it." He could not have said that, not in front of my boss. But his mischievous smile told me that he had said it and that he did not plan on backing down."Did they give him some kind of medication?" Elena asked, amused."No, he is usually like this." I gave Michael a disapproving look, only to get a wink from him. He would not change, he never would.I st

Chapter: Chapter 100AbbyHe evaluated me, doubting the sincerity of my words. I could not deny that I was to blame for that; he surely feared I would run away again. Sighing, I took his hand; it was my way of assuring him that everything would be fine, that I would not flee without knowing the truth."I will not leave, Michael, you can speak." We looked at each other a little longer before he finally decided to do it."Like I was saying, we wolves spend our lives searching for our destined mate. Sometimes they are not found, I cannot lie to you, but when you find your mate you distinguish her by her scent, and when I saw you dancing in Hell, your scent hit me so hard I almost fell off my chair." His face looked all soft, as if he were remembering that moment. "I was flooded with the sweetness of chocolate, but at that moment I did not feel good at all.""Did you not want to find your mate, Michael?" My question pulled him out of his trance. His gaze was now back on me, along with a deep frown."It is wha

Chapter: Chapter 99AbbyI stalled by walking around almost the entire hospital. There were still many unattended patients, which gave me the perfect excuse to delay our conversation. I did not even know if he was awake yet and I was already making up excuses to avoid seeing him.Very good maturity level, Abigail Colman!As I walked slowly, very slowly, to the room where Michael was, I thought about what I would say to him. The guys said I should let him explain, Dr. Myers said I should face my ghosts. And I knew Ryan had been the most accurate; I was resisting out of fear of losing someone important to me again.My resistance was so strong that I almost lost him today. What would have happened if they had not managed to get him out? What if he had bled to death on the way? I tried to ignore the feelings of pain and the tightness forming in my chest just thinking about it.When I entered the room, he was still unconscious. He looked so peaceful that I envied that state.

Chapter: Chapter 98AbbyI could hear them talking and it calmed me to know that they had not suffered serious injuries either. I approached almost soundlessly, while they continued their conversation. They were so focused that they did not seem to notice me."He is a fucking idiot, we told him to get out and he did not do it. What was he planning? To kill himself?" Logan growled."We know he is not the same, he is even more reckless than before." As I observe Jack, I can see how his arm is still bleeding. Despite being told that they were treated, I see that they were not."Do you think he is okay? He was quite hurt." Stepping out of my hiding spot, I decide to answer the question that was meant for Jack."He is fine, he just needs a few stitches. I took care of treating him, so he should wake up any minute."When they looked up at me, I leaned in to grab the necessary things to treat Jack's arm. They just looked at me as if trying to figure out if it was really me and how they should talk to me."They

Chapter: Chapter 97Abby"Abby, could you go check on Mr. Thomas?" I looked at Elena, my new nursing supervisor."Sure, I will go right now," I commented with a slight smile.I have spent this last month trying to get used to my new routine. It was hard to get the transfer, but when I achieved it, I did not hesitate. I could not stay there, I did not feel comfortable.I have not seen anyone since that day; since I ran, I completely moved away from the city. Let's call it a fresh start, one where I was completely alone, where I had no family, no friends, and not the boy I love.It was not easy to leave all that behind, especially considering that your head seems to fight against the idea of not seeing him anymore. I just need time; with time, everything is forgotten and overcome. Even if I wanted to, I cannot go back now. What would I say? I still cannot shake the image of seeing him turn into that wolf.Dr. Myers, the psychologist I visit every Tuesday afternoon, told me it was common; the loss of a love
