2025-10-29 21:29:31BECCA'S POV
During lunch hour, Pearl, I, and her guards snuck out of the school and drove to a restaurant in my car. I had some free
time to wander around town, and various sites were recommended to me.
I think I heard something crying out to me as we drove by an antique shop.
Sam whispered to me, "That's Mrs. Wonder's antique shop."
"That woman is strange; we heard she has the strongest everything in town, but I wouldn't go there if I were you; she is creepy and frightening." Pearl remarked, "She snuck around the bushes hunting for plants."
Beatrice continued, "I heard she killed the last kid who went to her house to pluck an apple."
Even though the sun was shining, it was difficult to see into the shop because it was quite dark.
What was within piqued my interest. I was suddenly distracted from my thoughts by Pearl's laughter. "These girls are way too loud," I muttered.
I parked my car at a park and we made our way to the restaurant where we ordered snacks. Sam and Beatrice were still talking about the woman who owns the antique shop.
"Who knows, maybe Mrs. Wonders has a love potion to entice Cole," Sam joked. Pearl's eyes widened as if she'd just got a brilliant idea.
I had to admit, Sam made sense, and I was eager to learn more about what was going on at the shop, so I added…
"Why not go there after we eat?"
Pearl smiled as she responded, "Great idea Becca."
I grinned as I gazed out the window. My mother was there!
The same woman who said she'd take it easy! She was smiling at a young man and gently stroking his hands to make him feel at ease.
I was furious; I'm sure what he was saying wasn't even amusing! As I approached her, I forgot we had snuck out of school.
"Hello mum, nice to see you here," I responded, smiling.
"Oh you have a daughter?" the guy inquired, smacking his lips and staring at me up and down.
" True.... I do have a daughter who should be in school," she admitted, her teeth clenched.
The man recognized the atmosphere and excused himself.
Smart guy!
"What are you doing outside of school?" my
mother inquired, trying not to draw attention to herself.
But that's not going to happen.
I was furious and yelled at her, "What are you doing with the guy, mum?" We just got here, and despite all the promises, you're already running around with a new guy?
"I'm not doing this with you in public," she muttered as she turned around and walked back to her car.
Everyone in the restaurant was staring at us, as if they hadn't seen people argue in a long time.
Sam, Beatrice and Pearl were awfully quiet, looking at me with a slight pity in their eyes as soon as I got back to the car.
“Let's go”, I commanded, still riding high on the deep emotions I was feeling.
After that, we drove back to school. All through class, I couldn't concentrate, I was desperate to get it over with and get home and confront her.

COLE'S POVMy wolf hearing picked up the strange girl murmuring, "You're mine Cole." I was taken aback and paused to gaze at her, where I noticed her cheeky smile. My wolf shouted for me to flee. I'm weak— a wolf without a pack, and I might not be able to withstand what comes my way if they figure out who I am. I jogged away from her, hoping to get away from the pricklysensation I'd been having around her as much as to reach safety.I love the forest, and it is where I find solace; but, the fact that their house appears to be close to it is concerning. After all, what kind of people live near the forest? I pondered.I heard the door open a few minutes later as she walked out wearing a short and crop turtleneck. She was dressed socasually, and I couldn't help but admire how her milky complexion sparkled in the sun. "What the hell are you doing, Cole?The girl is a threat "I consciously reminded myself. I shifted into my wolf shape and followed her, wondering where she was going.I t

BECCA'S POVAfter that, the day came to a close quickly, and I practically ran home. My mother was not home, as expected, and I was disappointed to learn that nothing would change.I decided to clean up a bit and reorganize my belongings. I had barely started when I observed a wolf outside my window as I was putting the last piece of furniture in place.It was coated in brown fur and appeared delicate. I went outside to investigate, but it had already vanished by the time I got there.Weird. I had a look around the garden before heading over to the where I had seen it. Some of the grass needed to be cut, and everything was a messI wonder who lived here before. I took a deep breath and sat down in the small handcrafted chair under the shade. I could sense the atmosphere and hear the nearby river rushing. River! My mind wandered to the nearby river. I got up and walked farther into the garden/woods, following the river's rushing sound.I was amazed when I arrived at the river's sou

Crestfall High CHAPTER THREE
BECCA'S POVMy alarm went off at precisely 6 a.m. I was expecting it so I immediately leapt to my feet. I walked into the bathroom andbrushed my teeth. I then put on a sports bra and joggers and went for a run. "I should be back by 7 a.m. and ready for school," I muttered to myself.It was dawn when I walked out of the house, and the sun was still asleep. I was about to put my headphones on when a dashingly attractive guy jogged past me. I was enchanted because I could see his abs through the tight top he was wearing. Where did he come from?"Xup," he said as he jogged past me, looking at me from head to toe and nudging his neck towards me. Arrogant! As he passed me, I grumbled, rolled my eyes, and continued jogging. I returned home by 7 a.m, went upstairs, and got ready forschool. I couldn't take my mind off the guy. He was the first person I met since I arrived in Crestfall.I arrived in front of Crestfall High at 7:46 a.m. I walked into the school after parking my car in the
Crestfall High CHAPTER TWO.
BECCA'S POVI stood in front of the old house where we had come to a halt. It was a mansion made of antique bricks. Beautiful lawns lined up like ushers in front of the house, heading to the front entrance. It was significantly larger than our previous wooden home.Looking about, I saw a short path that led to the back door. I ended up in a garden after following the route. When it leadsright into the woods, I couldn't call it a garden. Who knows what lurks beneath the surface?“I see you've found the garden,” my mum said creeping up behind me.“I won't call it a garden mom, looks like we need a fence around here”“No, we don't. The forests are for practicing”Right. I forgot I was a witch.“C’mon, let's get inside” mum pulled me away from the garden into the house.I felt a lot of familiarity with a place I'd never been as I walked into the house. I never wanted to leave because I felt at ease. It was a satisfying sensation. I looked around the house; the chandeliers were all perfe

BECCA'S POV"Die! Die...... die, "As he got closer to me, I chanted in my head. He's my mother's third husband, and he's always bugging me. I was sick of it, but if I told Mum what he'd done, she'd never believe me.My name is Becca, and I'm sixteen years old. When my father departed, I grew up quickly because my mother would not stop partying, allowing her next partner to mistreat me.This was not how I wanted to live my life. But there was nothing I could do about it. As he approached me, I secretly wished for him to perish. When he was two feet from me, he suddenly dropped with a thud. My mother dashed down the stairs to the sitting room where her husband and I were when she heard the loud noise. "What have you done, Becca?" she yelled as she hurried down the stairs."Nothing, mum," I replied, shaking with panic. I was relieved that he was unable to touch me, but I was concerned about what had occurred. My mother approached him, felt his pulse, and declared his death. I became stif
