FAZER LOGINTristan’s POVThe moment I saw the pairing list, I knew.It was not luck nor coincidence, it was just… timing. The perfect timing to be exact.My gaze lingered on the board a second longer than necessary, my name sitting right next to hers.“Barbara.”A faint smirk tugged at my lips as I came across the name.Around me, the classroom buzzed with mixed reactions, some were groans, some laughter, and others were complaints but I barely heard any of it. My attention had already shifted towards her. She was sitting two rows ahead. She looked composed for a girl that has so much anger in her.She had already seen it too, the list like she already knew.Slowly, she turned and our eyes met.And there it was again, there was that flicker, annoyance and resistance. It was something deeper underneath it, something she was trying very hard to hide.That meant I was getting closer.“Alright,” the lecturer called from the front. “This is a paired assignment. You’ll work together and submit by to
Tristan’s POVThey didn’t wait, of course they didn’t.Geoffrey and Jeremiah had that look in their eyes when they left the classroom, the one that meant they were already ten steps ahead, already planning, already setting things into motion.I knew exactly where they went and I let them.That was the part that irritated me the most.It was not their plan and not their methods but the fact that I didn’t stop them.I leaned back in my chair, my fingers tapping lightly against the wooden desk as the classroom slowly filled with noise, students talking, laughing, completely unaware of the storm brewing right under their noses.Or maybe they were aware.People always sensed when something was about to happen, especially here at silvermoon.My gaze drifted lazily across the room.Faces were blurred,voices meaningless but none of it held my attention because my mind kept going back to one person.Barbara.The way she looked at me. Not with fear alone but with defiance, anger and hatred..An
Tristan’s POVThe silence after my words didn’t last long. It never did with them, this has always been our problem with each other.“She’s a BlueMoon,” Geoffrey repeated slowly, like he was testing the weight of it on his tongue.He was sceptical as hell, definitely the one who has always been sceptical about almost everything in our trio.I could sense the skepticism still lingering in his expression but it wasn’t as sharp as before and also not dismissive anymore.It was just cautious, as if he was trying to pinpoint the exact way and answer to make sure everything is sorted out before our father finds out .Jeremiah leaned back slightly against one of the desks, arms crossed, his gaze distant. He was thinking. He is the logical one here, apart from me. He has always been the smart one who helps with the thinking in the group, provides reasonable answers and resources to counter a situation.“If that’s true,” he said after a moment, “then we have a bigger problem than just a share
Tristan’s POVThe sound of the door closing echoed longer than it should have or maybe, i was just listening too closely.I stood exactly where she left me, unmoving, my gaze still fixed on the empty doorway like she might walk back in but she didn’t. Of course she didn’t. Barbara is trying to prove that she is tough cookie, but what she doesn’t know is that even tough cookies are broken.Slowly, I lifted my hand to my cheek. The sting was still there. It was faint but still present.I pressed my fingers against it lightly, feeling the warmth beneath my skin. She actually did it, she actually slapped me because I mentioned her aunty. Such a great way to expose her weaknesses. So stupid.A quiet chuckle left me. It was low, and I was amused about how things had gotten interesting. It was very interesting at this point which made me excited.Most people wouldn’t dare to do what she did, they wouldn't even think about it.But Barbara?She didn’t hesitate for a second and didn't calcula
Barbara’s POV The silence in the classroom stretched longer than it should have. It wasn’t just quiet, it was deliberate and heavy like he was letting it sink in. I hated it with each passing second of time, desperately waiting for him to let me go. This was basic torture no one deserves. Maybe it’s a crime to be a human afterall? And to make it worse, I’m mated to three of the most powerful Alphas in the pack. Such a nightmare. I stared down at the notebook in front of me, my fingers still resting on the pages, but my mind was no longer on the words. It was on him, on everything that had just happened. This wasn’t the assignment I did. This wasn’t even his. So why the hell would he drag me just for it to be a lie? “You figured it out. That’s very clever of you.” He finally said something after minutes of awkward silence and stares. His voice cut through my thoughts. Unlike what I expected, his response was calm. Too calm. I slowly lifted my head trying to make eye cont
Barbara’s POVI didn’t even get the chance to react.One second I was standing there, my wrist still tingling from Geoffrey’s grip, my heart racing from Tristan’s sudden appearance and the next thing I could remember was being pulled so damn hard by a force.My body jerked forward as Tristan grabbed my arm and dragged me past them without a single word. “Hey….wait! Where are you taking her to?” Lily’s voice rang out behind me.My head snapped back instinctively. “Barbara! Get away from here, Tristan! Don’t you dare hurt her! I’m going to rip your tongue out!”I tried to slow down, my heels scraping slightly against the floor. “Tristan…what are you…where are you taking me to….”“Walk. We don’t have to do this here. Do we?” He retorted.The word was low and sharp. It wasn’t a suggestion, it was a command. A loud and stern one as his voice echoed in my ears but luckily, it cut through me all the same.My throat tightened and before I could stop myself which led me to obey even though my
Barbara’s POVBy the time Lily and I stepped out of the dorm building, the morning felt… off.It was not quiet, not calm. It felt very wrong like something was waiting.I adjusted the strap of my bag over my shoulder, trying to ignore the lingering unease sitting heavily in my chest. That strange
Barbara’s POVI woke up with a sharp gasp.My body jerked upright before my mind could catch up, my hand flying straight to my chest as if I could physically hold my heart in place.It was racing and pounding too fast, too hard which felt so wrong.For a few seconds, I couldn’t breathe.The room sp
