I chuckled, feeling reassured by the support of my friends as they waved at Alexander. Alexander followed my gaze and acknowledged them with a nod. “You do have pretty friends,” he remarked. “And the best of them too,” I added proudly. He laughed. “That’s cool, isn’t it?” “Sure.…” I replied, nodding, though inwardly I was feeling quite nervous. “So, where did you come from?” I asked, eager to learn more about the guy I was crushing on. He shrugged nonchalantly. “Just moved into town. My family lives in the States, and we decided to study here.” “Really? And they let you?” I exclaimed, my eyes widening in surprise. “Of course they did,” he replied, rising to his feet and retrieving two drinks from a passing waitress’s tray. “Bills are on me,” he muttered as he handed me a glass of wine. “Thank you,” I murmured, taking the glass and sipping tentatively. “My parents would never allow me to leave town, let alone study in another state,” I remarked with a laugh, marveling at his f
I drove in silence, foregoing my usual habit of playing music, lost in my thoughts. The image of Alexander dancing with Helen lingered in my mind, fueling a newfound determination. “I think I’m ready to play this game,” I mumbled to myself, increasing my speed. Suddenly, a loud impact rocked my car from above, startling me. I yelled in panic, struggling to maintain control of the wheel, but managed to steady myself. With trembling hands, I glanced in the rearview mirror, trying to comprehend what had just happened. “What was that?” I muttered, heart pounding in my chest. Turning around, I was horrified to see a figure standing in the middle of the road. I screamed, slamming on the brakes as my car screeched to a halt before the mysterious figure. “Oh my God!” I exclaimed, adrenaline coursing through my veins. As I stepped out of the car, my shock turned to disbelief when I realized it was Susan standing before me. “What the hell is wrong with you? Do you want to get yourself killed?
It was early in the morning when Drake entered the apartment, finding the living room cloaked in darkness. “At least he isn’t downstairs to lecture me about my movements,” Drake mused, adjusting his collar. As he approached a door leading to the corridor, the lights suddenly illuminated, causing him to gasp and pivot around. “I’m glad I know my brother so well,” Alexander remarked from his perch on an armchair, holding a glass cup filled with blood. It had always been his preferred method of feeding, deeming it distasteful to sink his fangs into people’s bodies. Drake scoffed as he neared. “You were here all along waiting for me? I’m impressed.” “Where were you all night, Drake?” Alexander inquired, his curiosity piqued. Drake shrugged. “Have you forgotten? I came to Latan to have fun, not to sip blood from a glass cup.” Alexander chortled. “I’m decent enough not to act like an animal, Drake.” Drake laughed, taking a seat opposite him. “Call it whatever you choose, Alex, but wearin
Grace inquired, “What did you say to them?” “Nothing harmful,” I answered, smiling confidently. Lora was taken aback when she saw Alexander and Anne heading to our table. “Please, sit here,” I offered, motioning for Alexander to sit beside me while I positioned myself between them. “Oh my God! She’s so mean,” Grace muttered under her breath. “Enjoy your lunch, Anne,” I said, nudging her playfully. It was evident that Anne was pretty upset, but I didn’t care. What did she expect? That I would allow her to continue her antics with Alexander at my table? No way! “Hello, ladies and gent,” Drake greeted as he arrived at our table with his lunch. “Can I join you?” “Sure, you can, Drake,” I replied, stealing a glance at Alexander, who had buried his head in his food. Drake sat down, muttering to himself, “This is going to be fun.” We ate in silence, staring at each other, while other students couldn’t help but steal glances at us. Drake cleared his throat, breaking the silence. “So,
Catherine's eyes were everywhere, looking around the large hall, searching for her husband.She was scared that he might attack her at any minute once he realizes that she used magic on him "I should have wiped his memory" she thought walking carefully around the hall.Kayne sat with his best friend Matt who was also a beta from his pack.He sipped a glass of red wine "I always have this feeling that she doesn't want me."Matt gasped "don't say that Kayne, that's not possible."Kayne shrugged "according to my mother Matt, anything is possible, what if she decides to turn her back on me tonight? Damn! That would be extremely embarrassing."Matt chortled gulping down a large amount of wine down his throat "don't be ridiculous, you're an alpha and every woman's dream."Kayne laughed "I doubt if I am Yvonne's dream, she doesn't see me that way, she rather sees me like some sort of a monster trying to squeeze his way into her life."He stood up "bu
He smiled "you did so well tonight, I wasn't disappointed at all daughter."I bowed my head "I was only doing your wishes father and that of the two packs, I hope that makes you happy?"He nodded "that was the right thing to do my child, for our family and for the packs."He walked closer to me and held me by the shoulder "I am so proud of you Yvonne, your marriage to Kayne would save us all from this curse."That was the first time he ever said such to me but on a second thought I wondered what he would have done if I was born male instead of female.Each time I looked into his eyes, I saw regret and I knew he wished so much that he had a son, most times o felt hated and disliked by my father, I never had his attention or love but my mother would always make excuses for him.I grew up with the knowledge that my father is and alpha and a very busy one who placed his love for the pack above all things, I admired his bravery but when it comes to family, m
"Yvonne we don't have to go through this again, just don't allow your father or any other wolf see you without the ring, okay?""But mother...." I tried to say."Enough already Yvonne, don't argue with me" she said looking a little upset.I stormed out of the room without saying another word to her, what did she expect? That I tell her I would always wear it? That is one thing I would never be able to promise, I can never be proud of being Kayne's little wife.I walked back into my room shutting the door.Few minutes later....The door opened and my mother walked in.Without looking behind me I knew it was her."Mother please, if you have come to lecture me about my duty to the packs, I am not willing to hear any more of it" I said in anger."I am not here to lecture you about anything Yvonne but to tell you the truth in other to save you from the rage of your father and the packs" she said in a calm tone.I turned around staring at
"How on earth am I supposed to merge marriage and school?" I thought burying my head in my books.This all was beginning to sound like an impossible mission to me.I raised my head from my books and continued writing nonstop looking determined to finish the assignment, I was so scared of dozing off.A lot of times I had tried writing my assignment late at night only to find my head buried in my books the next morning with the assignment incomplete.Most times I continue writing once I wake up in the morning, other times when I wakeup late, I just abandon the books, dash into the bathroom, have a quick bath then I'm off to school, I end up trying to write it in school.You wouldn't blame me, if you were in my shoes you would understand exactly what I was going through.I continued writing making my hands move as fast as I could.Grace and Lora have observed how un steady I have been with my assignments and I didn't want to give them more reasons to
