My eyes fell on the bruises the girl had on her neck and face which she tried to cover up with a layer of foundation. But being a victim of physical abuse, I could catch it easily. My brows furrowed as she pressed her lips, her body trembling a little. She pulled up her glasses on the bridge of her nose and looked down at the floor as if realizing she was guilty.“Can I talk to you…for a second?” she asked, her voice soft like earlier that day.“I have my next class. My attendance would be at risk if I waste my time talking to you right now,” I said, my voice a little harsher than I intended it to be. She literally locked me in a classroom, I had the right to be angry.But the curiosity of what she had to speak of made me decide otherwise and say, “Just two minutes. Then I will leave.”She nodded and then looked around the washroom, checking if we were alone or not. Then she spoke, “I am sorry for what happened last day. It was—”“An accident?” I raised a brow at her. If she thought sh
We walked to the headmistress’s office and took our seats. Once I was settled in, the headmistress looked at me with a nervous look. She made a tent with her fingers on the table and said, “I am sorry for what happened out there a few minutes ago. I—” “Cut to the main point, Madam,” I said, my arms crossed, my breathing labored and my eyes shooting daggers at her. She sighed, a little frown etched on her forehead, “I know what you suffered out there is unforgivable. I did not expect the students to turn out so feral. But you know, I can work on improving everything if you keep this all a secret,” she handed me a small smile and my eyes narrowed. She was scared of me reporting the whole incident to Dom. They all knew well that if the news reached his ears, he would shred this institution to pieces. I did not see any fault in that because I wanted to do the same. Winterville was turning into a hub for violence rather than an institution for building future’s. It was destroying everyon
The drive felt longer than usual since Dominic was not with me. I turned at Sky who was driving the car, while Jannet sat at the back, holding her bag on her lap. Until now, Sky had not spoken a thing and if he tried to annoy Jan, I would be rescue her.“Did Dominic have some pack work?” I asked and Sky remained silent for a few seconds before he responded.“To be honest, he is not in his best self today,” he said with a sigh and a frown settled on my forehead.“What happened?” I sat upright on the seat and waited for Sky to explain. He looked fine this morning.“Today is the date his parents died,” Sky said and my lips parted. Jan heard what he said at the back and she exchanged a look with me.“Oh my…he never spoke about it to me. Is he alright?” I asked in concern, my heart clenching at the thought of Dominic missing his parents.Sky shrugged while he rotated the steering wheel, “It is hard to tell. He looks fine outside, but every time this date comes, he turns sad and kind of iso
I felt terrible. Never did I thought that behind the stone cold face, there was a child who had gone through so much pain. And he survived it all. I couldn’t imagine myself surviving such amount of rejection. He looked back at me, “Let’s head bac—” he stopped when I embraced him in a hug. I was standing on my feet, holding his head close to my chest. My hand caressed his back and I could feel those hard muscles. Focus, Avery! “I am sorry for what happened,” I said, pain etched to my voice. I just couldn’t bring myself to imagine what he could have went through since he did not tell me the full story. Was all his past pain the reason he turned out so twisted? He did not speak, neither he hugged me back. His head just rested on my chest. We stayed like this for a few minutes, before I realized that it was too awkward and I let him go. He looked at me, amusement glinting in his eyes and a subtle hint of smile playing on his lips. I licked my dry lips and tucking my loose hair back on
My lips were swollen red without even wearing lipstick. You ask why? A certain someone kissed me for hours. Yes, hours! And I did not stop him. Because it felt good.I pressed the ice against my lips as they burned a little. He bit me hard, his canines pulling a little blood out of my lower lip. He did make up for it though, by licking it clean.“How’re your lips doing, love?” he asked while he sipped his tea. My eyes fell on his lips. I bit him back too, and he seemed to enjoy it too much. He even said, “I would keep this as your mark of love on my lips,” and his tongue had jutted out, wiping his blood clean. That was sexy, I wouldn’t deny it.A blush crept on my lips, turning my face hot like my lips and I wondered if I should put some ice on my face too. I hissed a little as the ice fell right over the little cut on my lower lip. He stared at me with his dark eyes before he rose from his chair and walked over to me.“Let me,” he forwarded his hand and I gave him the ice pack. He wra
The classes went as usual, boring me to death. Most of the time, I had my pen balancing over my nose while my mind thought about my relation dynamics with Dominic. My hand touched my lip and I could still feel his warm kiss on it.Things have changed. Could I deny my feelings for him anymore? I don’t think so. I gave into the kiss, not to mention, that I was the one who pulled him by his shirt collar.I was lucky since I was his mate. If it had been somebody else, I am sure they would have been ripped to shreds by now. Sighing, I looked over at my notebook, doodles of his name in different styles that were not so calligraphic flashing in front of me.I scrunched my nose. My handwriting was disgusting. I literally ruined his hot name.I also came to notice the fact, that I couldn’t get him out of my head. Time felt like it never passed, and I waited for the classes to end so that I could see him standing against his car in front of the gates. Dang, was this how deep attraction felt?It
The vest guy came closer to where I was tied and sat on his heels. His eyes scanned my body and there was lust in them. Disgusting! I flinched when I felt his rough hand touch my leg and rub on it.“Cute,” he said and I gritted my teeth. I tried to free my hands from the ropes but it did not help. I was stuck in here, with these people who were going to rape and then kill me. My heart pounded loudly against my chest.I had somehow, miraculously managed to tackle Rosie that day in the class. But how could I escape so many people? Especially when they are all werewolves.My body started to tremble as I felt the guy’s hand moving closer and closer to where my shorts were. My breathing turned labor and I felt like there was a drop in oxygen as my lungs felt restricted. No, no…I don’t want the same things to repeat.My head spun, sweat sliding below my top.“Doesn’t it feel good, sweetheart? I promise you will love it when I slide my dick inside you,” he said and I fought to keep my consci
Asphalt lounged on Derek first, and before Derek could even get the time to transform into his wolf form, Asphalt gets him. His canines pierce right into his arm and with one move, he tears his right arm away. Others including me cringe at the sigh, as blood gushes out of him and he screams.Asphalt tossed his torn hand in the air and opened his mouth wide. My jaw hung down when I witnessed in front of my eyes, Asphalt gulping down a whole werewolf hand as if it was his meal. I start to feel a little nauseous and watch anyway.The check-shirted guy transformed into his wolf form and so did the others including Rosie who all lunged at him at the same time. Oh my God! This was an unfair fight. One wolf against so many.But Asphalt just stood in his place and the sky crackled with thunder again and before my eyes, I watched as the huge wolves of different fur start to lose their colors and their fur seemed to seep inside their body, exposing their bones. Their bones started to crack and t
