Our talons rip through the flesh of his upper arm, enlisting a yelp of pain from his lips but I don’t stop there. It’s followed by a blow from our claws, sending him flying a good distance away.Their scent is more pungent than ever and I’m more than sure what we were against.Damn rogues.A shriek suddenly echoes in the air right beside me. I immediately know something bad has happened to Freya.We turn swiftly, growling menacingly at the second intruder standing over her motionless body. My wolf loses sanity, instantly taking almost full control of our body and lunging forward at him.He changes, ripping through his clothes into a dark brown wolf smaller than mine. We brawl for moments; deadly strikes follow after the other. I lean in for his jugular vein but the first pounces unto us from the back, now its two against one.My wolf is fed up with this. He releases a deathly howl into the air that moves the winds and shakes the earth beneath us. The howl of an Alpha King reverberates
I’m discharged earlier due to no injuries or scratches from the attack but still grateful for the brief opportunity to just rest from the whole school drama.The next day, however, I couldn’t escape from it. I am more nervous to walk down the school hallways but Xena had my back through most of it. We’ve grown closer with every interaction and I know we were destined to be friends.The sun is exceptionally hot today and worse of all is we have P.E. I’m mortified, not because I despise running - far from it. I had somehow managed to escape running infront of everyone else at the Moon ceremony but today, the sun was out and bright and the whole class were to participate in the running exercise. It isn’t a race but I couldn’t risk exposing my very inferior physical prowess.The run begins once the gym teacher blew his whistle. Into the vast green landscape of a backyard the school owned.It is somewhat a of jog. No one is supposed to be breaking a sweat, yet with much of my might, it’s s
The pain from the impact stings the tip of my fingers, but the anger within me boils hotter than everything else.His face forcefully swerves to his right and freezes in place. He makes no move to run back to me or say anymore words. All his reaction does nothing but fuel my rage.How dare he try to get to me? I begin to wonder if the whole saving me from getting hurt was some ploy to use me as his next target? If this is just another one of his games. I wonder if he saved those other girls just to use them and toss them aside for Elena.For a moment, I had actually believed he is a good person.His head slowly turns to me and there’s nothing but coldness staring. It’s clear no one has ever dared slap some sense into him, but it doesn’t faze me one bit.He makes a move to speak but I beat him to it.“Look here, asshole. I’m entirely grateful for your help. Do I owe you now? Probably, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to play this game with you. You have a girlfriend, Silas. Stop reeling
Silas POV:Another boring school day. I toss my textbooks into my locker, slamming it shut. Elena stands right by my side, tapping away on the screen of her phone. She’s been more clingy than usual these days and it’s starting to get on my nerves. Sadly, there's only little I could do or say. Betrothed wolves were meant to be seen together always; something about demonstrating the closeness of their bond. A good Alpha is nothing without a Luna, so the saying went.Then again, wolves only felt a strong connection with their mates and even in the rare cases of betrothal, there was meant to be a form of partnership, yet I felt an aftertaste of repulsion having Elena around, hovering about everything I do. I feel no solace in being hers, instead someone else plagues my thoughts every waking moment.It’s like my mind’s been drugged and I can’t think straight anymore.Freya, that damn Freya. Annoying, witty, with a peculiar allure to her. I want her, my wolf wants her but I can’t say if i
FREYA'S POV:The whole cafeteria scene plagues my mind endlessly, ruining every mental wall I had painstakingly built around thoughts of Silas. Just when I was getting the hang of it, accepting what was to be my new life, he walks in and chucks it all in turmoil and leaves.I know it’s impossible, incomprehensive, but I wonder if there's some sincerity in him. If possibly, my absence confused and left a little discomfort in his mind just as it had me. Then maybe he's actually into me.It isn’t something I should be pleased with. He’s with someone already and I still needed to steer clear, yet the possibilities please my heart just a bit.The next day seems less dull and even more promising than typical. Is it because Xena would be returning or something else? Who knows?“Hey.”I close my locker turning to Adam. He gives his normal charming smile, made to break hearts, and winks at me. I roll my eyes at his antics but offer a smile nevertheless. It’s weird how we’ve sort of grown a bi
FREYA'S POV:I took hours washing out the taste from my mouth, traumatized by the experience — the smell, the chunky texture, the painfully tight grip that held me in place. I couldn’t break free no matter how I struggled and the memories were haunting and filled me with hatred.My weakness becomes painfully obvious to me every day and I can’t help but hate it so much. If I had been truly born as something better than an Omega, I would have been strong enough to push her down… and hurt her. I’m standing in the girl’s toilet in front of the large mirrors. I look up at myself — eyes red, my shoulders shivering not from the cold, totally embarrassed. I make a promise not to take any more shit from her.Evening came quickly for which I am grateful. Xena was since back from home, placing some of her new things in place as I walk in with my luggage. I attempt to roll my huge bag across the room with much struggle but she quickly moves to me, taking the bag with so much ease like it weighs
FREYA'S POV: “Elena freaking planned this,” I scream in a hushed tone to Xena. She stares into space deep in thoughts while I panic like a crazy person right beside her.“What am I going to do? This is obviously some trap. How am I going to win against her?”She’s definitely going to rearrange my face if I try. I hyperventilate, feeling anxiety take over me quickly.“Calm down, Freya, you're going to kill this.” Her focus is back on me and she’s rooting for me. “Go show her who's boss.”I gulp down the tight ball in my throat and slowly approach the center. The crowd’s mumbling is incessant and all eyes are on me and my opponent now.She smirks like the witch she is, cracking her knuckles. I say my final prayer and look at Xena one last time before my end. She winks at me with a thumbs-up, her conviction is sure that I am going to emerge victorious. Mine isn’t.The gong rings as we enter our stance. She flexes her shoulders first, walking round in circles and I follow her lead, mos
FREYA'S POV:“You okay?”Her voice breaks into my raging thoughts and I’m startled, jumping right in my seat.I look up, noticing Xena for the first time with a worried look in her eyes. I look round at the empty seats around and turn behind me. He’s also not in class too — Silas.“Where’s everyone?”“Freya, class ended 5 minutes ago. Everyone’s at the cafeteria.”“Oh.” I realize half of my day has passed in a haze.“What’s up with you? You’ve been like this since this morning.”I say nothing. After I had woken up from that dream, I feel literally chills down my spine. Unable to sleep, I'd stared at the ceiling till the sun was out and just haven't felt up for anything since then. My hairs stand up at the back of my neck like I can sense something isn’t right.“I’m fine, just a little tired. Couldn’t sleep last night.” I rub my tired eyes and yawn, rising from my desk. Xena watches me like she doesn’t want to believe my bullshit story and wants to pry further. But she sighs, giving i
