MAYA Standing up and walking out of the class is like having a walk of shame, and naked too. I hear Victoria and her friends laughing, and I don't need a soothsayer to tell me that I am what is humoring them. It's never for good reasons whenever someone is summoned by Miss Waters, the dean of the supernatural faculty. I take out my phone and try to call my mother for help, but like usual, she is not picking up the damn phone! I sigh with frustration, before calling Ethan. He answers almost immediately. “Yes, monkey.” He heaves. “Miss Waters has summoned me to her office!” I speak quickly into the phone, with my hand cupping my mouth. “What?! Did you tell anyone your secret?!” “Huh? No! What do I do if she asks if I have gotten my wolf?” “This is nuts, I'm coming to you. Right after I take permission from the coach.” “What if you don't get to her office in time?” “I'll be on time, monkey. Just… hold on.” He ends the call. I'm shaking terribly from fear, but I slip my hand
I wake up drenched in sweat and gasping for air. It's just 3 o'clock in the morning, but I have been forced awake by a terrible dream. It's not a nightmare, it's worst. I had a dream in which I was having sex with my stepbrother. I put my hand over my forehead as I try to bring down my breathing. It was so real that I could taste it on my tongue. I still remember what his touch feels like, I still remember the ecstacy I felt, and the way he looked at me with so much lust and hunger. It's an abomination, but I wanted it. I asked him not to stop, and I asked him to take every piece of me. What's wrong with me? Have I become cursed or something? I stand up to go to the bathroom, but that's when I see that Ethan is upstairs too. I stand behind the bedroom door, and wait for him to use the bathroom and then leave. He steps out and I gasp because he doesn't have a shirt own. I ogle at his chiseled body, and find myself gulping air again. My wolf purrs with enjoyment and I roll my e
ETHAN She hasn't spoken to me for three days, and I would be the worst liar in the world to say that it doesn't bother me. I have to pretend because even though I yearn for her, I know it's better for both of us to stay away from each other…I'm laying on the couch, the television turned on and a bottle of beer on the ground beside me. I'm not concentrating on the TV because I am staring at a picture of Maya that I took on my phone a few months ago. She is asleep in her bed, her crazy hair almost taking up most of her face, but she still looks so gorgeous. I zoom the picture and lightly touch her perfect face. This is torture, it's getting harder by the day…I hear the bedroom door open, and I immediately put my phone away and shut my eyes, like I'm deep in sleep. I even add a little snoring to make it believable. She comes downstairs, rubbing her eyes and yawning. She stops once she notices me, and I hold my breath. She walks over to the television and turns it off, then grab
ETHAN“Take her…” My wolf has gone crazy, because there is no way that my stepsister of all people is who he wants! Her succulent lips parts a bit, and I just want to kiss them. My wolf wants to tear off her clothes and take her right here on the dining table, like a fucking savage. My self control is holding on by a thread, and I don't know how much longer I can hold back. “Ethan, why is your hand so hot?” Maya whispers as she puts her hand over mine, which is still on her chin. I step away as if she has suddenly become scalding hot. “Nothing, monkey.” I clear my throat. “You should go to bed, it has been a long day for all of us.” “Asshole, it's barely evening, and there isn't school tomorrow–” “I know that you are still sad because my dad and Sarah left, so just go to bed early.” She scoffs as she stands up to her feet and starts to take the dishes to the sink. “Alright then. You don't have to be so bossy about it.” “I'll do the dishes… just go.” I sigh. She stops, looki
MAYA “Oh, no!” I let out an incredulous laughter, because I know what my mother is telling me cannot be the truth. We have been in storm ridge for less than a year and she wants to leave me alone with this asshole for two months?! Before anyone could utter another word, I went into the pitiable room that I share with Ethan, then I dump all my clothes and important stuff in my suitcase. I drag it downstairs and David gives a big eye roll when he sees me. “Okay, Sarah. This one is up to you.” My mum heaves and places her hands akimbo. “ What do you think that you are doing, Maya?!” “Leaving with you, what does it look like?” I retort. “Has this been your plan from the beginning?! You brought me here, pretend for ten months and then abandon me with someone I barely know?!” “Maya, that someone happens to be your stepbrother! Who said anything about abandoning you? I am going to be back in a little while?” “Mum! Two months is not a little while!” My eyes swells with tears. “You p
ETHAN This prick! I know that my stepsister’s mate scent is becoming stronger and stronger, but it attracted Cole fucking Bennett?! “What are you doing here, Cole?! She never mentioned you!” I growl. “Oh, Ethan. You must be the stepbrother.” Cole says in a bored monotone. “Ethan! Cole! What are you boys doing?!” Maya yells. I raise my fist and throw a heavy punch at his face, but he moves to the left, and my hand leaves a hole in the wall. “Ethan!” Maya screams. “You should listen to her, boy. I don't want to hurt you.” Cole nods in her direction. “Boy?!” I fume as I throw another punch in his direction. “Are you trying so hard to piss me off?” “No, I'm trying to hold myself from killing you on school grounds, Ethan.” “Do it, hit me. I have always wanted a reason to beat the absolute shit out of you.” I curse. “Are you two assholes even listening to me?!” Maya screams. “Asshole?” My fist soften. “What the hell, monkey, that's my name.” “Monkey?” Cole shakes his head. “
