I stopped struggling when Easton was pushed. His body was repulsed against the tree. I didn’t know what to feel.I didn’t know why but I was happy that he appeared for his sister. Luke was wrong. Adolphus loved his sister too much to let her rot under the arms of a dumb werewolf.Adolphus threw me a glare. It was enough to make me understand he loathed me. Maybe because I was human. There was no reason for him to hate him but I had a thousand reasons.I could imagine him waiting for my death, in his little cell, waiting for Nialliv to open his cell and send him into the wild.I can still imagine him in another position; taking his sister and leaving me back to find a way out myself.Still, I had one rule: I’d be my own superhero. No one would humiliate me by offering me a fake hand.But the more I stared into his glaring eyes, my earlier thoughts and hatred faded slowly, shrinking to the back of my mind as my heartbeat drummed in my ears and throat.He turned towards Easton and I was
I knew he was a big D.“When I told you to give me the necklace, you should have listened,” he tried to grab the necklace.It stuck between my breasts, still wondering if it should fall or not. In slow motions, his hand approached, getting closer the more my breathing accelerated.I’ve never seen this coming my way.I snatched the necklace, refusing to lose against him. I recovered and started glaring at him, almost hissing. I folded my arms again, promising in my mind I wouldn’t let him ruin my moment. This was my payment for what they did to us.If they keep thinking they have nothing to lose, they’ll keep bullying everyone.His fingers wrapped around my wrist and I watched it happen quickly, the one tightening around the necklace. Touching me felt weird. It wasn’t the first time a man would touch me but something happened. Tingle swapped between us.He felt it too.His left eye twitched briefly before he almost let go of me.Something in my belly twisted painfully when he tightene
First day at campus was ruined.Adolphus whipped his head back, looking at Frederick. Something flashed in his eyes. I was sure about it but I couldn’t understand what it was.He turned around, taking his time, as if he was making a show for someone. I stood, tying whatever knots I could make to close my ripped dress, silently on the sidelines. My gaze darted back and forth between Adolphus and Frederick. The tension in the air was palpable as they glared at each other with disdain, fighting a secret battle I wasn’t part of.“Freddy,” his tone was soft, as if they were friends but buried deep within it a sense of hostility. “You finally decided to come out of your den.”“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Frederick’s cool voice reached my ears, also acting.I could see that whatever they felt, it was mutual. Their glares reached a boiling point. While Adolphus was ready to provoke his opponent more, Frederick looked like he’d jump on him any moment.Adolphus’ tall imposing figur
I checked my tattoo repeatedly, expecting it to disappear by some kind of miracle, but it didn’t.“Where did this come from?” I sighed.I didn’t know where it came from or how it appeared, nor why that jerk was interested in it. He had to chase me until I got to my apartment, spent and feeling like shit. I couldn’t believe he enjoyed it. At this point, everyone had a problem with me, even when I didn’t do anything to them.I decided yesterday didn’t happen and I would start a new day, with no worries and a normal one.I had to come out early so I could get to the campus. Everyone had their own wolves to rely on or parents’ cars. I had my poor legs and my determination.When I opened my door, I found a face I didn’t wish to see. She was clingy. Too much. Why was she doing all that? It wasn’t like I saved her life or anything.Moreover, standing next to her made me feel pale. I considered myself beautiful but she was on top of me, crushing me with her soft attitude I would never be able
I frowned. Luke Carter loomed over me, like a haunting shadow. For a few seconds, I thought he’d raise his hand and try to slap me. The problem was: I couldn’t help but provoke him with my smirk. He healed and he was furious. If it was me, I’d walk around with cuts and a blue eye till the end of the month. My gaze bounced from him to the rest of the class. They were waiting for drama, especially when it was an outsider like me. “Something of yours?” I shook my head, recalling the necklace. “I don’t what you’re talking about,” I slammed my right fist against my left palm. “Ah! I remember. Your dignity, right?” I didn’t know why I used this word when the bastard Adolphus used it but it felt nice. He didn’t deserve my respect, not after what he did. Frederick’s minions!!! I looked around, searching for Frederick. He was always around when one of his minions acted. I was startled when he slammed his hands again. “You know what I am talking about,” he snapped. “I’m sure you’re thinki
This was my loss.I lost this time but I wouldn’t lose the next time.All of them were raised to think they were above everyone else. Those jerks! Why wouldn’t they leave me alone?No matter what I did this time, I couldn’t fix my dress. If this continued, I wouldn’t even have anything to wear. It wasn’t my responsibility to buy what I didn’t ruin, but it seemed I wouldn’t have any choice.“Ebony?”If they got into trouble, they’d slip away like skaters on ice. I remember something similar happening before. It was when Alice died. Obviously, she was murdered but all the packs made it seem like she ended her own life.I didn’t want to save her.I am sure she’ll turn her back on me the first moment she’ll think I am her enemy. I don’t want to live it again, all the disappointment, the betrayal. I trusted Nialliv, a lot. But the betrayal cut me deep. Each time I see her or I see a silhouette that resembles her, my heart aches.Now, whether I like it or not, I was stuck in a terrible posi
Another person who wanted to be my friend. Did I become a celebrity already?The first thought I had was: this was damn suspicious. And yet, I didn’t let her handshake to waste, because another thought came to my mind.If I became someone’s friend, I doubted Alice would stick around. She’d be hurt but she would move on and I would be free. I could use this person until I discover her motives. It should be fun.I feel bad for this but it’s life.“Let’s become friends!” I grasped her hands, showing her my fake enthusiasm.“I am Eleanor Paisley. Call me Ellie. This is Nicole and Chloe. They are both my friends,” her lackeys. “I bet we’ll be great friends.”I was tempted to ask her why she got close to me.“Yes, let’s be great friends! Hello Nicole! Hello Chloe.”They all had brown hair and blue eyes, matching outfits and bags. I wondered if it was their normal outfit or if it was required of them to wear those.Oh! Eleanor Paisley? Wasn’t she the daughter of the Beta of the Silvermoon Pa
The Principal was a tall woman who loved to wear tight skirts and white blouses with big buttons. She held her brown hair in a loose bun that threatened to let go and wore glasses. She called me to her office in front of everyone, to scold me but it has been ten minutes and she didn’t open her mouth, not even once.What irked me was that she didn't like the other two. I was the victim. I should be comforted but with the way things were, I accepted being the villain.“Do you know why I called you to my office, Ebony Bronfall?”She raised her head from her piles of documents and lowered her glasses to settle on the tip of her nose. I tried to study her expression to guess her thoughts but I couldn’t. She was the real ice queen in the campus, a real snake who always stood on top.“Answer me.”Her voice was low but it made me obey. Shivers ran down my spine.“You called me here to scold me. It hasn’t even been a week and I caused a huge disturbance. Miss Sawyer doesn’t like it when her te
