Claire POV.

I could see desperation in his eyes as his fingers held mine, and he bored holes into my soul, searching, hoping, and waiting for me to answer.

What birthmark was he talking about, and why did he look so hopeful that I would have it?

Something fishy was definitely going on and Alpha Jaxon was keeping it away from my father, who was his Beta.

I eyed him skeptically contemplating what to do with this new information.

Should I go snitch to my Dad or do I wield it as a weapon and bend Alpha Jaxon to do my bidding?

"Answer me, Claire," he pressed on, still waiting anxiously for my answer.

I decided to choose the latter and play along for now, "I have a lot of birthmarks, Alpha Jaxon. Which one are you talking about," I lied.

"This is good news," he smiled broadly, and I saw him exhale a breath of relief. Still holding my hand, he asked, "Can you show it to me?"

I pulled my hand from his grip immediately, "Are you asking me to show my naked body?"

"No, no," he quickly declined,

    Claire POV.If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.I smirked to myself as I stretched out my legs, relaxing into the office chair in the Principal's office.I felt so content with myself, knowing that I'd denied Nivia of what she desperately wanted. The pathetic look on her face was priceless as I gave her a taste of her own medicine.Now she knew how it felt for something that was almost yours to be ripped away from you. I had no idea if she'd really seen the ball first, and honestly, I didn't care. I sure as hell didn't give a rat's ass about the reward. However, I was going to keep the price away from her as long as she wanted it; that was my way of repaying her.I wish I could cause her more pain, but for now, I was satisfied with this small feat. Going forward, I would use every opportunity I had to make her regret ever being mated to Justin.She was a greedy, little nobody. Clinging to two mates when others didn't even have one.I hissed and stomped my feet on the groun

    Nivia POV.With my eyes still fixed on the ball, I stretched forth my hand, wanting to hold it.But as my hand made contact with it, I felt a jolt of electricity spark through me and instantly, everywhere around me changed.I saw myself standing on a vast, desolate field, surrounded by nothing but dry twigs and swirling dust. The place was barren and I was on a small hill.I gazed around shocked.Where was I?How did I get here?Above, the sky was red with a blood crescent moon, and in the distance ahead, I saw a battle raging.The metallic smell of blood filled the atmosphere, and I could hear loud screams and wails resounding in the air.People were fighting each other. Heads were being torn from shoulders, and hearts were being ripped from bodies.In the red sky, crows and vultures swarm around, floating over the battlefield below.Once a body dropped to the ground, they dived low, to feast on the fresh flesh, peeking at the eyes and tearing at the skin."Don't just stand there," S

    Nivia POV.I was still trying to process the sudden insight that I'd caught a glimpse of the future, when Mateo reappeared, returning from wherever he'd vanished to last night."Where have you been?" I demanded, while trying to catch my breath.I couldn't explain what was going on, but one thing I was sure of was that, something out of the ordinary was happening to me. But I didn't know what it was exactly."I've been around," he said casually."No, where were you really? You didn't come back to the camp last night," I clarified.He shrugged his shoulder, "Don't worry about me," he said, and brought out something he had been holding behind his back. "Today is for you," he mumbled and handed me a bunch of freshly cut flowers. "Happy birthday, Nivia," he bent low to my neck and placed a kiss on my neck. At the contact, I froze and the fine hairs on my neck stood. The kiss was supposed to feel innocent, but instead of instantly letting go like he usually does, he let his lips linger th

    Nivia POV.It was 6 a.m. the next morning when I stirred awake.I lay on the bed for a few minutes trying to remember where I was.The camp sleeping bag was small and tight. I only managed to sleep last night because I was very exhausted.After Mateo stormed out of the game, it had come to a close.Justin insisted that we set up our camp sleeping bags and retire for the night.Which we all did.Rachel and I shared a sleeping bag while the rest paired up with themselves in twos.Claire slept with Sonia, Austin and Suzanne paired up, Justin and Kyle opted to sleep together while David was left to pair with Mateo."No funny business," Kyle jokingly said to Austin."I wouldn't let him even if he wanted to," Suzanne retorted."Oh yeah, don't make me turn on my charm," Austin playfully clapped back.We all laughed and crawled into our tents.However, before I went to sleep, I didn't hear Mateo return.The day was now breaking, and I didn't know if he had come back last night.I suddenly fe

    Mateo POV."I kept telling you all those times to sleep with her, but you never listened. You just wanted to hang around her as a friend," Loki reprimanded me.As usual, my wolf was blaming me for everything.When I met Nivia we were only fifteen, yet he kept clamouring for me to claim her.He was of the opinion that we should make haste while the sun shines.Now, seeing Justin wriggle his way into my relationship, made me see the sense in his logic.But the past was the past."I didn't want to pressure her into sex that early," I tried to defend myself."She would have fucked us if only you showed some interest. You were too busy being a nerd, you fucking idiot," he accused me."How do you know she would have agreed to sleep with us?" I demanded."Because she liked you from the start, when you two met. But you never made a move, so she friend-zoned you and moved on to Justin," he explained."And you know that how?" I grimaced."I understand women better than you, you dumb fuck!" he y
