The message was from an unknown number and her heart fluttered as she read the text.
"Meet me backstage."They were dating for four years and they had planned their lives together. Bobby would study law and complete his football career and Summer would graduate from law as well. They would open up their own law firm and have two gorgeous babies. A huge house on lake Sol with a pool and a rose garden. Her life would be the perfect fairytale, the ones she read as a child."This was it." Summer thought," he is going to propose to me. I will be his fiance' and his wife in a year or two." This was going to be her fate, sealed. She did not think that this day would come so soon but it was here and the excitement she felt was unexplainable. She could picture the look on Brooks face, she knew Brook had always wanted to date Bobby, but that was a far fetched dream. Soon she would meet his parents, everything will be official and their lives together would begin.Summer couldn't believe that Bobby would have such courage to propose on stage in front of all their friends and colleagues. She admired his boldness. He heart pounded in her chest from excitement.Summer lifted up the front of her dress slightly and charged through the crowd, making her way backstage. She stopped a few steps away and adjusted her hair and dress before walking in. Pulling out her small mirror ,she applied her pink lipgloss and smacked her lips together. She wanted to look perfect. Her curls fell loosely on her shoulders as she adjusted the baby blue butterfly clip on the left side of her head. Summer took a few deep breaths, steadying her heart beat.She sneaked up behind the curtain,not wanting to startle him,mainly because she still felt a bit nervous.Standing dumbstruck , she watched Bobby kiss Brook passionately, squeezing her buttocks against the piano."No,No,No. This is not it. It can't be " her Luna screamed from the inside. Summer's mind was fuzzy,her heart felt like it was sliced into tiny pieces.Tears streamed down her cheek as she watched them gliding their hands all over eachother. Brooks mini dress was now looking like a crop top.Summer had seen enough and turned around,leaving them to continue. They were oblivious to her entering and leaving, lost in the lust of eachother.As she walked towards the exit, the curtain was raised and everyone gasped. The music stopped and all eyes turned to the show that was being performed by Bobby and Brook.Summer turned around and looked at Bobby dead in the eyes.Brook quickly pulled down her dress and ran off the stage embarrassed. Her heels clicking loudly on the floor as all the male eyes followed.Tyler could not help himself. He had watched his brother play Summer over the last two years and this time he had to expose him for what he is. A liar and a cheat. He could not help himself when he saw the tears fall down Summer's soft white cheeks. The rope was within his reach and he made the decision to raise the curtain. He wanted to be the one to wipe her tears but he knew that he couldn't. Although he had loved her before his brother could court her, he just couldn't start a war with his brother. His non-identical twin was an alpha like their father and he had inherited the genes of his mother. A normal human boy. He was no match for Bobby and decided to love Summer from a distance.Bobby neatened himself and jumped off the stage. Turning back he motioned for the band to start playing again. He needed to take the attention off him.Bobby ran to the exit of the hall but Summer was already gone. She disappeared into the night.He looked outside frantically. This was not how things were meant to be. This was going to be his last fling. But he said that to himself every time he was unfaithful to her.He felt a tinge of guilt which now disappeared when Brook layed her hand on his chest.She kissed his cheek." We have been doing this for almost a year now. You know I am what you need and want. Why fight this? Now that it's out in the open ,let's take advantage of the situation. It's not like Summer is going to take you back. But I am here."Her words were true. Bobby somehow felt relieved. He was tired of lying to Summer but he also didn't want to lose her for his financial benefits. He hoped that they could still be friends He knew she was too sweet and gullible. She would soon forgive him.She licked his ear drawing him in with her fragrance and soon he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her on the lips. She pouted and made puppy dog eyes and he kissed her more feverishly.They danced the night away and all Tyler could do was watch disgustedly. He felt really bad for Summer. He knew she loved Bobby with all of her heart and he hoped that she would learn to heal, forget the pain and love again.Summer took her wolf form and charged off into the moonlit night. Adrenaline coursed through her veins as the gut wrenching images displayed in her mind. She did not want to go home this early ,fearing her always inquisitive mother would pry into her life. She did not need a lecture or some sort of motherly pity. She did not need a forgive and forget intervention or a never go back to him advice session from all her aunt's that her mother would tell her sad story to.He brown fur blowing in the wind as her hazel brown eyes filled with tears. Finding herself in the dead of night in a secluded park metres away from the school she turned back into her human form and sat on the swing.Her head hung in sadness and pity as hot tears spilled from her eyes. She opened her purse and took out the handkerchief Bobby had given her that night and wiped the mascara that stained her cheeks.The foundation had been removed with one wipe and now her freckled cheeks were visible. She looked up at the sky, which was clear a few minutes ago. Now the moon was blocked with dark clouds. Thunder roared in the distance and Summer took this as a bad omen. She felt that the moon goddess was upset as the clouds gave way and raindrops poured down on her. She was now drenched and cold.She scrunched up the handkerchief into a ball and threw it in the dirt.Her teeth chattered." What have I done wrong , oh moon Goddess?""Trust you?" Ella choked out. She was a mix between furious and panicked. She was worried about Tyler , scared of Brook and now the person that betrayed her is asking her to trust him."Yes. Ella. I am sorry. I know I can't change the past but I can protect you now." Bobby inched his way closer to her." My sister wouldn't have needed protecting if you just stayed faithful to her. "Ella stepped back.From the corner of her eyes, she watched Brook start to sit up on the ground. " Her heart pounded in her chest and her hands shook.She started to bang the gym door frantically, screaming for Tyler." No one is coming for you Ella. Trust me. I will keep you safe from Brook. " Bobby grabbed her arm tightly.Ella screamed loudly as he began to pull her towards the forest behind the university.A loud bang, the gym doors swung open and a large silver grey beast jumped out. He sprinted across the park and toppled Bobby onto the grass.Those green eyes were unmistakable.Bobby let out a large
Three o clock came and Ella walked to the library. She felt like a disgrace for not being a team player and letting Tyler do all the work. She decided that although she didn't like him, she would just have to stick it out. Maybe she is wrong about him but only time will tell."Ella. You are being weird. I don't know why you don't like Tyler but eventually it will affect your grades." Mary stood behind Ella who was standing outside the library doors and looking in."Mary. It isn't what it seems." Ella said as she struggled to move her feet into the library. It was if her legs were jelly. Her mind was unwilling to go in no matter how much she persuaded herself."Oh no. Not this again. My Luna had been suppressed for so long and now I had to have a trigger." Ella thought to herself."Ella. We don't have all afternoon. If your aren't going to go in atleast step aside. Justin and I have an assignment to do." Mary snapped.Ella drew in a deep breath, calming her nerves. Her legs had now re
"A literary passage is an excerpt from a written text. It can be as long as a chapter, or as short as a sentence. Usually, the length of a literary passage is several paragraphs long. This excerpt can be any genre of literature, from poetry to fiction." Tyler answered the question.Ella thought that he sounded like a web browser."Thank you, Mr Style's. That is the correct answer." Mrs Moore clapped again." I guess we have two A grade students sitting next to each other. I am sure you two will get on like a house on fire."Ella rolled her eyes at that statement. There was no way she was going to be friends or even an acquaintance with him.Tyler smiled and looked at Ella who just stared at him coldly. There was tension in the air between them."Let us now dig deeper into the passage. What is this passage about? Who wrote it? Why do you think he wrote it? Does it have a deeper meaning?" Mrs Moore asked.The only two people who actually answered the questions were Tyler and Ella. "You
Ella's blood froze in her body when she heard the words that flowed out of Annie's mouth.Annie was apologetic but Ella was now growing angrier by the second. Annie had gone back on her word.She was supposed to make sure that Bobby, Brook and Jason spent their entire five year sentence in prison and rehab.Bobby and Brook were let off on good behaviour while Jason was on parole.Ella's fists clenched as she disconnected the call.She wondered if that was Bobby or just the boy she had met.Monday morning Ella reached her class and took her seat. Everyone was silent and Mrs Moore called someone in from outside of the class."Meet Mr Style's Tyler Styles.He had just transferred in from another college to complete his final year of journalism with us."Everyone greeted in unison and he nodded back at them.Ella knew that this was the boy from Salt Rock and it irritated her."Please have a seat next to Ella." Mrs Moore pointed to Ella.His surname made her stare at him coldly. She wonder
"Ella. Will you be my girlfriend." Scott whispered lovingly in her ear."This can't be." Ella mumbled to herself.Scott stepped away when he heard those words. He didn't stand a chance to be her boyfriend and she made it quite clear. He didn't want to offend her again by being in her presence after asking her such a question. Her answer was quite clear and Scott walked away.James followed Scott while Mary excused herself to go to the ladies.Ella stood frozen in place.It was dark where she had seen that familiar figure. She rubbed her eyes thinking that she was mistaken but those features were unmistakable. She looked at her phone and up again but the familiar face she had seen was now gone.Her throat was dry and her palms were sweaty.She weaved her way through the crowd to get a closer look at where she had seen that person she thought she knew so long ago.As people danced, Ella tried to maneuver her way through the basketball pitch without getting bumped. She had finally made i
*Three years later*Ella had forgotten about her revenge, she reminisced about the homecoming dance at Palm beach high as she touched the large trophy on the shelf in her dorm room. Although the university was a half an hour drive from her home, she opted to stay at the university. She thought that she would get more work done here than she did at home.She only had this to complete before she would do her practicals at the Palm newspaper firm.She now wondered if she ever did want to be a lawyer or was she just living in some fantasy.She felt as if she had sacrificed too much of herself.Although many boys at the university tried to date her, Ella wasn't much of the dating type. Most of them just wanted a quick fling or a long-term relationship that would probably end up in marriage. It was three years and Annie and Ella had drifted apart. Annie took up the full time job of being the management at the hotel and both their lives had become equally busy.Annie had even stopped tortu
