Awaken the Wolf

Ayla’s POV Huddled in my coat, I wait. The rain is pouring down, threatening to soak through my only protection from the biting cold. I knew it was going to happen tonight; I could feel it. I was unsure how I knew, I just knew, or what this odd feeling was. All I knew was it was going to happen tonight. The sun had set about an hour ago, leaving the world in that odd in-between state. Not quite yet night, yet not entirely dark. I could still see clearly with my human eyes. There was no need to call my other half forward. No one knew I could already access my enhanced wolf hearing; it was one of the little things I could already do, and I wanted to keep it to myself. I hated waiting. It seemed to be the only thing I did lately. Everyone else around me was so busy all the time, doing everything and anything they could to keep him happy. Goddess, even thinking about him infuriated me. Mason! His only reason to be on this earth was to torment me, to make my life a living hell. Not tha

Ayla’s POV Monday morning, again. I didn’t mind school itself, just the idiots that attended there. Mason was three years older than me, so he attended the Pack university. Unfortunately, the university was on the same campus as the high school, so I still had to see him throughout the day. Naturally, he was one of the most popular guys there, most girls wanted to be with him, and most guys wanted to be him. The only ones not interested in Mason were the already mated pairs. Mason himself was still unmated. He liked to make you believe this was because no one here was good enough for him. The moon goddess hadn’t found the perfect match for him yet, and she wasn’t going to put him with just any old Mate. I had to laugh, it was more likely no one deserved to be stuck with such an asshole, and the moon goddess was saving us all from that fate. Today was no different from any other. I arrived at school in my old Honda Civic. She had seen better days, but I loved her. She was a beauty

Jaxon’s POV Storming through the door to my parents’ house, thirty minutes later than I should have been, thanks to that little red-headed bitch. “Jaxon is that you” my dad’s voice growled at me. Great, he was in a good mood! Not! “Yes, Dad, it’s me,” I quickly answer. “Come here,” he shouts. I know what’s coming; he’s mad; I got detention again. But it wasn’t my fault this time, well yeah, it was, but not really as I was stretching my leg out as well as…you know it was funny! “Explain yourself; your sister had to get a lift home with that Jacob boy; she said you had detention…AGAIN” he bellowed. I stare him in the eye; looking away would make me look guilty, and it’s all about appearance with my father. I square my shoulders, steel my resolve, and plough on; I will get myself out of this one. “Yes, I had detention, but I shouldn’t have; I was only stretching my leg, and that Smith girl tripped right over it as she w

Axel’s POV This place suddenly looks like it will be much more fun than I initially thought. That girl was something else, even though she looked terrified of us. It’s now my mission to get to know her, get her to let us in. We have been together every day since the day we were born. So, it doesn’t surprise me that we all end up drawn to the same girl. It’s odd, though. She hasn’t reached her full wolf yet; this has never happened before, well, not that I know of anyway. Usually, you can only feel the pull of another wolf once they have shifted and gone through the change at least once, and I know she hasn’t. I can smell it. I wish she hadn’t rushed off like she had. She’s the only one I want to spend my time with now. I’m sure the rest of these people are great, but once you smell a scent like that and get dragged by the pull to another, it’s hard to wanna do anything else. That Mason guy is getting on my nerves, he’s so up himself; it’

Ayla’s POVWhat a day! Everywhere I went, they were there. It’s like I had my bodyguards. The only place I went alone was the bathroom, and that wasn’t without a fight.Aiden followed me when I went after third period; I had to push him back out. It was a bit funny; I had to admit.Stacy spent the day glaring at me and skulking around. Her face looked as if she was permanently sucking on a lemon. Luckily, she was only in three of my lessons today, so I have a few hours of peace from that kind of bitchiness.Axel was so chatty today too. It was as if he was determined to know everything about me all at once. The fact that I had lessons annoyed him as he had to stop talking during them.“Where to next” he bounced on the balls of his feet.“Lunch…. I guess,” I answered; it took me ages to get used to having these gorgeous men constantly around me.Aiden mainly was quiet, and Archer looked moody, but I could tell it wasn’t at me. Axel wouldn’t shut up, but he was adorable. I couldn’t ign
