“The full moon is upon us. Stripe down to your underwear. It would shred anyway when you transform.” she said, insensitive to what I was going through. “I won't look...” Alee said, “Mason won't either. Just do as she says.” “I'm not worried about either of you...” I said harshly, glaring at the woman. She raised a grey eyebrow at me and I uttered, harshly, “I'm worried about her.” She had an amused expression on her face while I spoke my mind. Then, like a sprinkler, she, suddenly, started laughing. “Darling, I've been alive for a really long time and I have never seen anyone make such a ridiculous suggestion. Besides, you have to get used to it. Would you prefer your enemies turn their backs while you stripe before morphing or would you rather shred your clothing and look for one later.” She had a point, I thought. This made it all the more annoying. I would have to get used to being a werewolf as naturally as I got used to my half dragon form and spells as a witch. But still,
Alee's POVI walked down the hall in Mason's private cottage in the woods. He told me that he had built the cottage for he and his mate to stay at after performing the alpha-luna ritual - the ritual that will make me Luna of his pack. It's like a honeymoon after marriage but I hadn't registered what he was talking about because he was dragging Minty by the arm. My anger got the better of me and I yelled at him and told him to carry Minty the proper way. He wanted to apologize and I called him a pervert. How could he be talking about our honeymoon while he shot my sister with eight bullets filled with wolfs bane.He was quiet after that. He had tried to have a small conversation with me but I was too angry to see the reason. I had threatened him then that if Minty dies, I would break the bond. I think that shut him up for good until Minty woke up. I was so relieved that I had forgotten everything I said to him. Now, I feel bad that I did all that to him
“What is surface tension?” Rabel asked. “The effect that unbalanced intermolecular forces have on the surface of a liquid that makes it behave as a stretched elastic membrane.” I said while stuffing a sandwich in my mouth. Ever since I got my wolf, I've been hungrier than normal. Nowadays, I eat like Alee and those wolves at her table. At home, we usually order because we don't have time to cook a barrel of food in one night. At this moment, we are studying for a chemistry assessment. Mr. Jenkins had conveniently announced that he wanted to assess our knowledge of chemistry. Everyone is panicking because we had to read everything from scratch to finish if we wanted to stay in his class. He had also announced that whoever fails the assessment would be taken down a notch - that is back to basic chemistry. Everyone complained that we were in senior class but he didn't care. And here we are. I, Rabel, Jo, Matthew and annoying Jay are trying to remember all they taught us in chemistry
Jo's house is located in the richer neighborhood. I've been friends with her for two weeks now and I didn't know she drove a convertible. I told her that I had to go home and get my stuff for the sleepover but she waved her hand and said,“What's the fun in that?”I am officially the poorest person among my friends and I don't even have a car, only a large house my parents left for me and Alee. I never really thought I needed a car until I saw Jo and everyone's. The others were following her and I pretended like I see mansions everyday on my way to school or anywhere in particular. When she stopped at her house to put in her password, I stared at the gate, mentally preparing for something that would blow my mind. It looked more like a palace than an actual house, unlike ours. It stood proudly at six stories and I wondered what the extra rooms were meant for. She parked in an underground garage that held a minimum of fifteen to thirty cars at most. A thought occurred to me, just how b
Later that night, I woke up with a start. I sat up on the futon Jo gave me to sleep for the night. Jo lay sprawled out on her bed and I think Matthew was snoring. It might have been Rabel but for some reason, I couldn't imagine Rabel snoring in her sleep. I got up and went to the bathroom. Splashing water on my face, I raised my mouth. I looked in the mirror above the washbasin and saw something blurry. I wondered what it was. I touched the mirror and suddenly, I was transported to a familiar place, the garden where I met the prince for the first time.He stood there, just staring at me. I didn't know what he expected from me, a hug? I've always felt like if I saw him once more, I would scold him for just appearing randomly but I couldn't do anything now. All I could do was stare at him. He's a handsome man and I was very lucky to score a mate like him but I couldn't do anything. Then, there is the thing with Jay. I didn't indulge him, I never did but when he forced himself on me, I d
For a long time, I've never really liked life. I tried to avoid a lot of things, like wolves, supernatural beings, or worse, my mate. The routine is straightforward: I get up in the morning, check on Alee and make her breakfast, take a bath, get ready for school, go to class, return, check on Alee once more, and then head off to my side job. Work can be chaotic at times, but it's easier if you're used to it. Since that day, my twin, Alee, and I have been living in this manner. We weren't part of a pack, but we also weren't rogues. Although I can now realize how unrealistic that was, my parents wanted us to live like a normal family.My favorite memory is of the times spent with my folks. Prior to my twin, Alee, I was the first child my mother had. Our names weren't picked at random. I was given the name Minty as soon as my mother gave birth. At the time, they believed she was expecting a single child. I entered the world during the height of the full moon. The moon shone down on the la
Dean's eyes were focused on the computer screen, but I could tell that he was acting like he didn't notice Jacob and Sarina fighting behind the computer, as is customary for him. Elias was nowhere to be seen when I searched the area for him, which could only mean one thing.“Nice of you to join us, Azalea," he remarked behind me.I spun around to see him leaning against the wall with one knee crossed over the other, fiddling with a knife. I affirmed, "Boss, I'm not late."“Well, I see now. But you took your time to get here, my friend, and I've been waiting for you”, he added, pointing the knife at me."Sorry, boss. I had to eat dinner and make the perilous walk home. I apologize for not arriving on time.” I spoke, partially trying to control my sarcasm but still coming off as snarky."Nice try, Azalea." He rolled the knife around his pinkie and asked, "Are you being considerate or just plain sarcastic?""I'm serious, boss," I said."Hmm, let's see. For the time being, I would like yo
I was expecting to see guards when I got to the location, which is behind the building that leads to the garden entry, as Anonymous had mentioned, but I didn't. It was entirely empty. I looked up, then shrugged. I only need to find the prince, I thought, but I felt strange. I paused and tried to understand my feelings, but I couldn't. It felt like an elderly woman was stirring a cauldron filled to the brim with purple liquid in my gut. It made me feel as though something bad was about to happen. I knew my gut never lied, so I couldn't back out at this point. If I noticed any indication of danger, I would teleport with it without Dean's help.I carried out the instructions that Anonymous gave us. Unbelievably, the prince was sitting by a pool and gazing at the tranquil water. Bingo! I exclaimed. This is too simple, but the prince stirred and took a whiff of the air before I could reveal myself. I had disguised my scent before I went after him as usual, so he wouldn't be able to smell me
