After a long afternoon in the boiling hot gym, they were finally done with their training, and Hayley followed behind the crowd to take a shower. "Seems like you took a beating." Josie said, falling into steps beside Hayley. "I am sore in places I never thought possible." Josie gave a laugh. "I feel just great." "Yeah, you're a wolf. I'm not. So, can you maybe help me? I took a pretty nasty fall back there." Hayley said, pointing at her side. "Sure.'' Josie removed her glasses. After seeing all the places Hayley was hurt, she laid her hand on the areas and healed her. Also, secretly trying to heal her broken core, but it didn't seem to work. Hayley felt a slight shock and jumped. "Sorry, but you are all healed now." "Thanks." When Hayley pushed the locker room door open, all eyes turned to her, in the same time Davina threw a towel in her face. "There, much better. Now we don't have to worry about turning to stone from that ugly face of yours." Hayley removed the wet towel
Hayley stood when she saw Kane and Conrad. Kane looked annoyed about something as he didn't look her way while entering his office. "I want to go first." Davina said, basically pushing her friends out of the way, racing to the office. "Knock yourself out," Hayley mumbled. "I'll just sit here, like I have been doing." Hayley waited in the hall to speak with Kane, but it was a long wait. All because Davina wanted to go first, no doubt to mix and twist the story her way, to make herself look good and make Hayley seem like the bad guy. All Hayley could hear was crying, as Davina told nothing but lies. Then there was a pause, followed by laughs and a round of applause. Hayley leant over to see through the open door, then sighed. "Leave it up it you Davina.'' She said after seeing what was going on in the office. Davina and her friends were the town's whores, so they were actually now doing less talking and more flirting. Davina was that type of girl that would do any, and everythin
Hayley tried to get the thought of Kane being forced to take a mate out of her mind. She didn't think it mattered to her, because she knew that if the Alpha should choose a mate. It wouldn't be her. Alison, one of the court guards, Sora another court guard, or maybe even Davina, would be the option from what she just saw in the office. Hayley could see it now. Davina 'the queen luna'. Telling them that if they weren't pretty enough, they would be banished. Or if they were prettier than her, their heads would be chopped off. "Hey," a voice said. Hayley already knew that it belong to Axel, the Alpha's little brother. “Hey, Axel." Hayley greeted. Her tone was soft, as she was on the verge of crying. "O- or you ok. Your voice seems." "I'm fine Axel, it's my monster voice." She told him. Axel raised a brow at her. “Why did you say my name like that?" "Because I am a monster, not a wolf or human, but a monster." Hayley told him. Axel smiled. “You’re not." "Yeah, you know me,'
Hayley sat on the edge of Kane's bed with her back to him, listening as he read from a book. "Atlantis is a real place, though under water and unreachable by the very humans that caused it to sink." Kane's voice came out, as smooth as usual. Suddenly, he stopped reading to wrap his arm around Hayley to pull her towards him. What are the thoughts of the girl that thinks too much? He joked. "This. This is not right. I mean, what if someone finds out about us? No, scratch that. More people find out about us." "So, what can they do?" "My mother gave me a lecture about staying away from you. Then there is Davina, who claims you as her mate. And is warning me to stay away from you." Kane kissed the side of her head. "Hayley. I am the Alpha. When I tell you to not worry, then don't worry. Leave everything to me." As a way to forget, she sighed. She inquired about a few other things that were bothering her. "Today, in endurance, Josie told me that my core is broken. Do you think that
Davina punched Hayley in the eye, and was about to swing at her again, as her friends took that as their queue to jump in. They held onto Hayley so that Davina could get some hits in, but Hayley broke free from their hold, then blew a small amount of wolfsbane at the four of them. She didn't use much because she didn't want any blood on her hands, and she knew what the price of killing was. Samantha, Davina's newest best friend, hit Hayley on the side of the head, causing her to fall to the ground. She was about to hit her again, but Hayley kicked her in the chest. Samantha fell to the ground. When she tried to get up, Hayley stepped on her chest. "Move, and I'll crush you, bitch!'' Hayley said, furious and tired of Davina, Kora, Grace, and now Samantha. She was tired of all the bullying. All the emotions that she had been holding in were finally been let out, all her hate and anger was clouding her mind. All see could see now was red Hayley span around just in time to duck down,
Hayley was silent at first, then she glanced over at Gunther. "Sorry about your nose." Pointed at his nose then touched hers, after it seemed as if his nose was not healing. ''Oh, this? It's totally cool, happened before, just the first time a female has done it. You pack quit a punch, by the way." Hayley didn't know if she should say thanks or what, but the smile on Gunther's face said he was proud of her. "Lets take you to the doc. He knows just how to heal and mend broken bones, so you'll be good as new." "I'm not going there." Hayley said, then stopped walking. Gunther chuckled, "stubborn. Well, I like a challenge." Suddenly, he picked Hayley up and threw her over his shoulder. "Wouldn't want your hand deformed now, would you? I'm sure you wouldn't want another reason to be picked on." But Hayley still protected. "I don't want to go, that crazy doctor only knows how to treat wolves and always tries to turn me into his guinea pig." Hayley said, pounding on Gunther's back.
Hayley threw a look over at Alpha Kane, wondering if he agreed with his Beta, but his eyes were boring back into hers. She couldn't tell what he was thinking, another reason she kind of wish she was a wolf. They could communicate through a mind link, while some wolves could read minds. Like the Alpha, for example. What she would give to get inside his head. But then again, she didn't want to know. Maybe it was all about Davina promising him a good time. If he let her off easy, and with him being mateless, he wouldn't reject her. Kane narrowed his eyes, which caused Hayley to quickly look away from him. Hayley start imagining it again, Davina being Luna, making her life even worse than it already was. The pack would be a living hell, with all females in exile. Better yet, Davina would use her in their endurance training, a new addition where she was target practice. She imagined Davina all red, with devil horns, a pitchfork and a pointy tail. Hayley giggled a bit, then sighed,
"I should have a talk with those girls' parents and the Alpha, I can't believe he has you picking apples when you should be in school. This calls for a trial. That's how we used to settle things back in the day." Mrs Blackwater ranted while packing lunch for Hayley. "Mom, it’s fine." "It's not, it's really not. I don't like how those girls are always picking on you, so what if you aren't a wolf? You are still a part of the pack. I don't see them treating anyone else like that." Just then, Hayley gasped out from a sudden pain that ripped through her chest. "Are you ok?" Mrs Blackwater dropped what she was doing to go to Hayley's side. "I'm fine. I need to go, wouldn't want to get additional weeks for being late." "Take care now and be watchful of those girls." Hayley bobbed her head to Decode by Paramore as she made her way to the apple orchard. Once again, a pain ripped through her chest. It felt as if her heart was about to pop. But just as the pain came, it went, as if it was
