로그인LIAMIt was barely two days after Kaden and Jade were appointed class president and vice president.I sat in our private study room of the triplets, lost in thoughts as memories of my conversation with Miranda's mom came to my mind. I had found out from her mother that she was the only child, and when I told her what had happened in the yoga hall, she had panicked immediately.When she eventually saw Miranda in the infirmary, she was lost for words. According to her, Miranda had seemed normal the last time they spoke. I had promised her we would find answers, but as I sat here now, I doubted I could do any good.I remembered how we were informed by the pack's school doctor at the infirmary that we should hurry up and get a solution to Miranda's case soon or she would die before the next 48 hours elapses. The instruction had come yesterday, and that left us less than 24 hours now to find a solution.I ran a hand through my hair, frustration building inside me. We had tried everythin
JADEBefore he could get the wrong impression, I disentangled quickly from his arms and shifted further away from him. He smirked as he held up my diary in his hand, turning it slowly between his fingers like it was the most interesting thing he had ever seen. His eyes sparkled with mischief, and the corner of his mouth lifted in that annoyingly confident way that always made my stomach flip. “So, Jade,” he said, his voice low and teasing, “what exactly are you hiding in here that you don’t want me to see? Is it all those secret thoughts about how much you hate us? Or maybe something a little more interesting?”"What? That's a lie! I'm not.... That's not..."I tried to respond, but my words came out incoherent, a jumbled mess of half-formed sentences that made no sense even to me. My cheeks burned hot, and I could feel the heat spreading down my neck. I reached for the diary again, but Carl held it just out of reach, leaning his face even closer with that same smirk still playing o
JADEI had just gotten off the call with Valerie a few minutes after I arrived home. She had called to know how everything went after my discussion with Kaden.We had talked at length about everything but I had not mentioned the bells that had gone off in my head when I was with him outside the classroom. I dropped the phone on my bed and walked to the bathroom. The cool tiles felt smooth under my bare feet as I stepped inside and turned on the shower. As the water poured down my hair, on my skin, I allowed my mind to wander back to the events of the day.I could remember the look on Carl's face when he had told me with his eyes not to go with Kaden. I had disobeyed because it would have been weird if I hadn't followed Kaden. But then again, who cared what Carl thought ?My mind quickly went to the test and I frowned as I remembered my score. It was unusual for me to score 98% as I clearly remembered I hadn't written that well in the test.Even Valerie had asked jokingly if I bribed
CARLMy eyes remained fixed on the paper displaying my score. I could not believe I had been overthrown by none other than Kaden with a perfect 100%. No one ever scored a perfect score in Mrs. Brenda’s welcome back test exams. My own 95% suddenly looked like failure and the sight made something tight twist deep in my chest. I shifted in my seat, gripping the edge of the desk a little harder than necessary as I tried to make sense of what I was seeing. The air in the classroom felt heavier and the low murmurs spread through the class.I glanced at Jade as she and Kaden now faced the class. The students were reluctantly applauding them now thanks to the teacher’s instructions. Jade stood at the front of the room with her hands clasped tightly in front of her, her shoulders slightly hunched like she wished she could disappear into the floor. She looked shocked, her eyes wide and her cheeks flushed with a color that was definitely not from happiness. I wondered how she had managed a 98%.
JADEI was heading back from the restroom when I saw Randy and that strange new girl, Freda, talking along the hallway. They stood close together near the water fountain, Randy leaning casually against the wall with that familiar flirty smirk on his face. Freda looked up at him with a soft smile, her head tilted slightly as she listened to whatever he was saying. The sight made my stomach twist, but I was not surprised by Randy’s flirty behavior. It was nothing new. He had always been like this, chasing after anything on a skirt.Seeing it now only made my resolution to not accept them back as my mate even more firm. I did not want any part of that life, not with the way they treated me and not with the way they still acted like the world belonged to them.I could see his brothers waiting at a corner of the hallway. They were watching the scene too, though they made no move to join in. I hesitated briefly, not wanting any drama with them today. My head still felt a little fuzzy from e
RANDYCarl stared at me for a while and finally he sighed.“It's pointless anyway," he shrugged. “I'm sure she would not agree."Liam nodded in agreement and Carl continued. "Maybe we should ask Finn for help. He seems to know a lot.”I frowned. The idea of running back to that veilborn stranger on the hill made no sense to me."You want us to keep depending on some outsider we barely know?”"For now, we should not attract any attention to this outside of the school," Liam said. "We will try to find out if she had met anyone unusual. I say we talk to everyone that Randy saw in her memory. If we do not get a solution from that, then we will consider Finn.""Fine," I sighed. "Let us get this over with.”We moved through the school, avoiding the crowded areas so we would not draw too much attention. After asking a few questions to some students who seemed close to her circle, we finally found one of the girls she always hung around with. Her name was Yoan, an omega who spent most of her
RANDYThe next day at school, my brothers and I headed straight to the infirmary as soon as the morning bell rang. The hallways were still filled with whispers about yesterday’s incident, but we ignored the curious stares and kept walking. When we pushed open the door to the infirmary, the school d
CARLJade burst into tears the moment I finished speaking. The loud, choking sobs tore out of her throat and filled the quiet rooftop patio. Her shoulders shook violently as she covered her face with both hands. Tears streamed down her cheeks and soaked into the collar of her clothes and her whole
JADEI woke up slowly, my eyelids feeling heavy as the light from the window touched my face. The first thing I noticed was the familiar wooden ceiling and the faint scent of herbs in the air.I was back in the cottage on the hill. Surprised, I sat up quickly. I had no memory of coming here. The la
LIAMI stood at the foot of the bed with my brothers on either side of me, as I stared at her still figure. The soft rise and fall of her breathing was the only sign that she was alive, and even that felt like an insult.Jade lay there, pale and unmoving, her hair spread across the pillow, her face
