#Chapter251BONUS ISomething about her made my protective instincts stand on end. My wolf didn't understand what was happening but I found myself giving an evil eye to anyone who looked at her the wrong way. I could feel that she was attracted to me and it brought a sort of satisfaction to my ego that this connection wasn't just in my mind. Just as easily, I could feel her guilt about having these feelings for me, and for once, I was able to completely relate to a person about this kind of stuff. When Zara told me about how her mate had impregnated her best friend, I had felt so angry. There was a rage inside me that I desperately wanted to let out. Here was a guy who treated his fated mate like this while my fated mate was taken away from me. It was at this point that all y regret about being attracted towards Zara went out the window. If she had such a mate, who had went out and cheated her on her best friend and got her pregnant, he didn't deserve Zara. I could still see th
#Chapter252BONUS II'Natalie's POV'******I knew something was wrong when I didn't get my period for two months. I never had a smooth cycle so I wasn't really troubled when they didn't happen the first time but their absence in the second consecutive month got me worried. My body had undergone certain changes I knew weren't normal and I was worrying myself to death, thinking about some kind of deadly disease that would kill me in a few months. Even though I knew that my immunity system was way better than a normal human's, I couldn't help but entertain such thoughts. I didn't tell anyone of my concerns as I didn't want anyone to worry because of my baseless concerns. Nonetheless, I booked the first possible appointment with the pack gynecologist. I had prepared myself for everything, a tumor in my ovary, internal hemorrhaging of my uterus that would result in an immediate hysterectomy, or even breast cancer which would again lead to a complete mammectomy. But as I sat in
#Chapter253BONUS IIWhen all the tests came back negative, I felt I was going mad or my brain was cooking up some insane story and I couldn't make head or tails about my life. I felt I was being crazy because there was no possible way that this was happening to me. If I was indeed pregnant with Harper's baby, he deserved to be known. Maybe if I tell him, everything will be okay, the parental tests will come back negative and everything would be alright with the world. I wasn't even able to trust my memories but if I did have sex with Harper, I just might have ended my lifelong friendship with Zara and created a deep rift in their relationship, and I wasn't ready to lose either of them. I was spiraling out of control and felt like I was living in an alternate reality and the best decision I could think was to tell my alpha, Harper about it all. Even though I knew I would sound crazy and hard to believe, I approached Harper in his alpha's office. I had specifically chosen this s
#Chapter254BONUS IIEverything turned chaotic the moment Zara left to be away from Harper, me, and all the rest of us who could possibly remind her of our betrayal. Did it count as a betrayal though when we hardly understood it ourselves? My heart hurt and my wolf whimpered at the possibility of never talking to Zara again, of never being close to her again because I loved her like I lived my sister. In her absence, I watched Harper deteriorate under the pack's pressure and his want, and his helpless situation for Zara. I watched as he struggled every day, wanting to go after her, to find her and bring her back home. I watched him rule the pack even though I could see all he wanted to do was be with his mate. He had tried to leave even though a huge part of his being must have revolted against leaving all his responsibilities behind. It was then that Harper had gotten mercilessly shot down by an arrow laced with wolfsbane in his shoulder. He spent several weeks in the hosp
#Chapter1BOOK 1- MY DREAMS, HIS REALITY- 'People don't want to open a door and walk in to see a live session of porn.'******Oh. Shit!My senior year at Ridgeback High couldn't have started on a better note. Not.Everything was going absolutely fine. Perfect, even. I was being less clumsy. I mean, I didn't even trip on air once and that is a considerable feat for me.Well, until now.I stared in horror at Melanie whose whole outfit was now soaked with my orange juice. I don't even know how the whole damn carton of juice flew out of my hand and landed on her head, drenching her from head to toe.The whole cafeteria was silent and everyone was staring at us in anticipation of the coming drama. These people seriously needed to get a life.Melanie, a power hungry queen bitch was glaring at me. She snarled at me. "You fucking bitch!" She cried and her shrill voice resonated in the walls of the cafeteria. In a way, I was thankful that it was Melanie and not A
#Chapter2I was not a pushover but the cafeteria was already empty and I don't think going to Mr. Powers and whining like a child would do me any good. I sighed and rubbed my temples. I am going to kill Natalie and Samantha for leaving me alone and getting detention for coming in late.Everyone must already be on their way to their lockers to attend their classes, and here I would be cleaning the mess I "supposedly" created. I could just leave whatever mess Melanie and her followers created but I didn't want to give them another reason to get on their bad side and get detention.I sighed and walked out of the cafeteria. Instead of walking towards my next class, like I wanted to, I walked in the direction of the janitor's closet.The famous janitor's closet where half of the sluts in our school had lost their virginities. I could actually hear grunts and moans from inside the closet. Just my luck!No shocker there. They should sterilize each and every surface
#Chapter3'"Can you just go back to being oblivious to my existence, like you have been for the past several years, Harper?"'******I was more than twenty minutes late for my English class. And, of course, my English class was at the other end of the school. Great. The universe hates me!Don't get me wrong! It wasn't like I was dying to get to class; it's just that I had never been late to class before and the thought somehow disturbed me, even if being late wasn't entirely my fault. Scratch that! It wasn't my fault at all.I ran all the way, as fast as my legs would carry me and guess what, Ms. Wilson wasn't even there, and here I was, huffing, so I could catch my breath. Wow. Talk about being responsible.As I walked in the classroom, the chatter ceased and everyone looked up. When everyone realized that it was just me and not the teacher, they redirected their attention to whatever they were doing before.I scanned the classroom for an empty seat and the only se
#Chapter4"Okay. First, that was the worst pick up line ever. Second, I am not interested. And third, Fuck off."His cool demeanor shifted and he looked angry. Furious even. Aww. Has pretty boy never been rejected? Did I deflate your ego, you man whore? Awww. I am so not sorry, though. You deserve it.I smirked. Harper opened his mouth to say something, which I was sure wouldn't have been pretty, if I take his facial features into account.But before that, the bell rang. I gathered my stuff and practically ran out of the classroom.***You know what's the best part of any school day? The bell ring that marks the end of the day. If I wanted to look like a demented person on crack, I would have jumped like a crazy maniac and sang some stupid rock song about gaining my freedom all the way from my last class to my locker. That was what I was feeling, anyway. But as a normal person, I settled for a smile and a slight jump in my step.When I reached my locker, I
