I heard a loud whistle and I looked around from where the sound come.
I knew it meant danger, I had heard that sound in school many times.
My eyes darted round in fear.
"Hey ogre!!" I heard a loud voice from behind the abandoned house in beside me.
Spencer McHaton.
"Medium rare!!!" Another gruff voice called out as my heart beat loudly in fear.
"Leave me alone!" I cried out in fear as I hurried away from the lonely road I always took home.
As my feet took me hurriedly away, I was not looking at my front until I bumped into a wall, hitting my chest and I fell to the floor, scraping my hands in the process.
"Where are you running to Princess?"
When I opened my eyes, shaking away the thundering headache that was suddenly in my head, I came face to face with the wall had stumbled into.
Harper, Spencer's fraternal crazy twin.
"I don't want any problem please, leave me alone please. I just want to go home" I cried as I saw my bleeding arms.
"Are you calling me a troublemaker?" Harper asked as he looked at me with a grin too wide for his face.
"No, Harper please. I didn't do anything" I cried as I cleaned my tears.
"She's calling you by your name now? When did she grow such balls?" Tatiana asked as she came up behind me, and soon all the others came in and towered over me on the floor.
"No, please. I'm hurting, just let me go home "I cried.
"Why? We heard what you did to Lucy, you lying ugly conniving bitch."
"Who knew an annoying piece of shit like you can be two faced? You had the mind to betray her?" Jojo said and stomped on my foot.
I cried and held my leg.
"Stop please!" I sobbed.
"Why? We're just here to return the favour. Maybe give you a taste of what you gave out"
"I swear I didn't do anything to her" my chest heaved with cries.
"Are you calling us liars? You're calling sweet Lucy a liar?" Imani snickered at me and I shook my head vigorously.
"No that's not what I said" I tried to clean my eyes.
"Oh, so you're the liar? Are you agreeing to the fact that you are a cheap, ugly looking, betraying snake?" Jerry asked chewing his gum and smiling.
They were enjoying my suffering
"No..."
"Yes?" Harper replied for me before I could finish taking "Then you need to be taught a lesson"
Oh moon goddess please, I need help. I thought in alarm.
Harper grabbed my leg and tried to pull me towards the abandoned house.
"No, no, no, please!" I struggled and tried to fight back but Spencer grabbed my other leg.
They all high fived each other laughing as I cried in misery.
“Leave her alone!" A very loud voice from behind us stopped them.
They stopped moving and turned to face the owner of the voice.
Caine's mouth was billowing smoke and his other hand stuck in his pocket.
"Caine man, what's up? Where have you been all these days" Jerry went up to Caine and tried to shake hands with him but Caine pushed him away to the side.
"Let her go" he repeated to Spencer, without blinking or smiling, only the smoke coming out of his mouth as he spoke seemed real.
They all looked at each other in surprise and Harper and Spencer let go of my leg harshly.
I scrambled to my feet and stood up to dust my clothes.
"What is this Caine? I thought you said you were not going to interfere in our fun time, what's this sudden change?" Spencer said, visibly annoyed as he walked towards Caine.
“Go home you all, i don’t have time for this today” Caine said and it sounded like a low warning.
"Come on man, what's this?" Spencer said and stretched his hand for a hand shake as soon as he got to where Caine stood smoking.
"Since when did you decide to become a pussy to that ugly..." Spencer did not finish talking before Caine's fist connected with his jaw sending him to the floor.
We all gasped, including me as I stared at the sight in front of me.
"Go home. Make me repeat myself again and see what happens" Caine threw away his cigarette butt and crushed it with his leg.
“Let's go" Tatiana helped Spencer up but he pushed her away and stalked off angrily and the rest of the group followed him.
It was now remaining i and Caine.
“That includes you. You blue eyed little human”
Those were the first words Caine Creek had ever said to me.
"Thank you" I said to him and winced as the cold air stung my open wounds.
"When are you going to stop saying thank you and actually fight for yourself?" He asked me and I saw his jaw move angrily.
"I... I Uh.." I stuttered
"You should not be here" Caine said and my heart dropped into my stomach.
"What?"
"You're not a wolf, you are not even human? What the fuck are you? And then the moon goddess decides to make you my..."
His what?
"She decides to put you in my pack, I'm so ashamed that you belong to us. My father made a mistake accepting the Union between your parents" Caine said and my heart broke finally.
"Don't say that" my tears started to flow again, my voice was barely a whisper now.
"And now look at you, small, red hair, blue eyes, weak, we're not even sure you can change. And worse of all you're..."
"Ugly?" I finished off for him.
"I never called you ugly" Caine exhaled and stuck his hands in his pocket.
I only scoffed and wiped my tears.
“You’re no different from them” I said finally before turning and walking away.
That day my feelings for him died.
I hated Caine Creek.
JASMINES POVI stood before the mirror, staring at my reflection. Time had passed since the last servant came to inform us that the car was waiting. I’d completely lost myself in my reflection. The woman staring back at me was different. Someone I’d long admired to be. I let out a sigh, taking the veil off my face. “Are we ready?” I asked Alyssa who was still gathering a few things from her bag. “Yes…just these little things I have to get them we’ll move,’ he said.I didn’t mind, because I felt like I had all the time in the world. I was willing to stand before the mirror, simply staring at myself and the baby bump that was evident from the white gown I had on. Two knocks landed on the door, and it creaked open. From the mirror, I saw my mother. “Mum,” I called under my breath. She told me that she wasn’t going to make it because she was still taking care of her husband. Seeing her here sent chills down my spine. I strode hurriedly across the room, but she covered more space tha
JASMINES POVI walked into the cemetery where Lucy’s body was buried. Carrying my flowers in one hand and holding Caine in the other. It was a month after her death, and as much as I tried to deny it, I could feel the void in my heart. She occupied somewhere in my heart, despite the betrayal and hatred, and I just couldn’t bring myself to deny that fact. Caine wasn’t in support of my going to visit the cemetery, but I insisted. I had to remind him of Lucy’s parents whom they locked up and weren’t able to pay their daughter a visit at her grave, nor did they have a chance to see them lower her into the ground. She was a villain, yes—but also a human being. “I’ll wait out here,” Caine said. I didn’t argue. We disconnected our hands, and he kissed me before letting me off. Caine was still a work in progress. He was taking on a new personality, one that was completely in contrast to who he was before the accident. His memories were not completely back, but each day, with my presenc
CAINES POVThe next time I woke up, I couldn’t move my hands or legs. I scanned the room area after getting a clearer vision. The smell of wolf’s bane was strong in the air, and that explained why I felt weak. “You’re finally up, welcome to the party,” Lucy drew my attention to her. She was crouched beside Jasmine, and something about that position upset my wolf. He wanted to defend Jasmine, to stand up for her. But our strength was sealed. “Get away from her. Who are you?” I gritted.“It’s so sad that it had to be your memory that was lost. A part of me wished you died that night,” she blurted. “What?” I asked. Then I understood what she was talking about. My accident. “That girl…Elara right?” She chuckled. “She was this close to figuring out. If only she’d been smart,”I groaned, pulling against my restraints. “You killed her!” I yelled. But only a sinister smile played on her face as she moved from Jasmine to me. “You can’t do anything, Caine, not even now. You couldn’t even
CAINES POVThe call dropped.I yanked the phone from my ear, staring at the screen as static hummed in my ears. The connection had been lost.Jasmine’s voice still rang in my head, breathless and desperate.I’m pregnant—with your child.I shot up from my chair so fast it clattered against the floor. My wolf was raging beneath my skin, demanding action, demanding I find her.Just then, a car drove in. I moved to the window to see who it was. Lucy. My eyes drifted to the clock, and it was a few minutes past twelve. The sky was completely dark, and the moon was hanging with a moonlight under the cloud. “She sounded scared…and urgent…” I thought. All of a sudden, my wolf was full of rage. The fragment of memory that I had tried to remember felt like it was fighting its way up. But distractions. Lucy was coming up, and I had to confirm my suspicions. I reached for my phone and sent a text to Beta Joseph, telling him to track my phone and find me if anything happened. I sent the same
JASMINE’S POVThe moment the door shut behind them, I let out a shaky breath, my body sagging against the chair. My arms ached from the restraints, my head pounding from exhaustion, but none of it compared to the sharp pain radiating through my stomach. The warmth of my blood soaked into my dress was a terrifying reminder of just how much danger I was in.I glanced at the table where Lucy had tossed her phone. It was my only chance.My eyes drifted back to the door after I heard a sound. I thought they were coming back, so I curled back into my tears. After a few seconds of waiting, and no one came through the door, I let out a heavy sigh, staring at the phone. Desperation fueled me as I forced my body forward. I fell from the chair and crashed my face on the floor. Shock coursed through my face, sending my head and my brain pulsing with the taste of blood that circulated in my mouth. I ignored the pain, keeping my eyes focused on the phone that lay on the table. I started crawlin
LUCY'S POVI slammed the brakes, drifting the car out of the garage. I saw Caine standing at the edge of the hallway through the rear mirror. His gaze was fixed on the car, his body still as I drove off. I knew he was getting suspicious, and it was only a matter of time before he came searching or digging for answers. I drove into the silence that filled the night, a clear contrast to the storm of thoughts that raged in my mind. I’d asked for dinner with them because I started noticing the low murmuring when I wasn’t looking. They were getting suspicious, questioning my whereabouts and my lateness to the events and important meetings. I also noticed how distant I had become due to the plans Bryan had and the hitches we experienced over the month. Recently, a few days back or so, Adrian went on a hunting spree, killing tons of humans and werewolves. According to my parents, he was facing the likelihood of the breakout of another disease all because he hadn’t found someone who was
