LOGINLyra."Who else has noticed that the dead bitch hasn't been in school for the past few days? I find it somewhat interesting that her cousin and Kai Arden have been just as scarce," Gabrielle quipped, rolling her eyes."How could anyone in the world have missed it?" Shayla asked, a sour expression on her face. "The trio of those disgusting, low people."We were all sitting in an empty classroom during break time, eating snacks and talking about anything that came to mind to pass the time.As it would turn out, what better thing was there to talk about...I felt my heart glower at the words I heard, and as I looked from face to face of the eleven girls who sat around me, who, when we we all sat like this in full number, were called 'Lyra's disciples' by the students of Blackridge Academy-even if I barely knew most of them and they were all actual friends of Gabrielle Morgan and Shayla Dragomir.Being associated with Lyra Soren was glamorous in itself, so they hung about even if I barely
Aurelia "No, wait," I yelled, but he was already out of the house. I followed him and was outside just as the engine of his bike revved to life, and I managed to hold onto his arm right before he rode off."Wait, Kai. What are you doing?""I need some time to myself, Aurelia," he answered, putting his helmet over his head. "I just want to be alone for some time.""You don't have to go.""I said I want to be alone," he yelled, causing me to step back and look at him. I was not sure that I had never seen him this angry, so seeing him so enraged was like discovering that I had been loving a stranger."Bye bye," he said, and then rode off, leaving me there with nothing but his scent to hold of him.**When I got back into the house, Talia's face was grim."You might just be cursed with regards to the decisions you make with regards to love," she said. "My only hurt, this time, is that I thought he loved you. I couldn't have warned you away from this one this time.""He loves me," I whis
Aurelia"Are you alright?" He asked, putting an arm over me and pulling me close.I could only pant for the first few moments, taking deep breaths and struggling to make sense of all the flashes that I had seen. My mind moved like clockwork as I tried to combine two and two together, and Nyra seemed to be just as panicked as I was on the inside."I had dreams," I managed to say."What kind of dreams? Does that normally happen for you?""No. Just this time. I haven't dreamed for as long as I remember."He grunted, and then slipped out of bed and left the room before returning with a cup of water, which he handed to me. I drank, still panicked by everything I had seen, and gave the glass back to him."What happened in the dreams?" He asked me."I-" I began and paused, trying to make sense of it. "It was so real I swear I've seen it all before. At first I was crying in front of a mirror, but the me in the dream looked so unlike myself, like a sickly and a weaker version of myself. To tel
AureliaI lay in Kai's arms for a long time after that."I feel better now," he murmured, his hard abdomen pressing into my backside. "Who knew that sex with you could get rid of allergies?"I chortled, moving my body to press even tighter against his. "I think I can feel it too. Your temperature isn't as hot as it was when I came in."He answered with a growl and buried his face on my neck.For a long time neither of us said anything to the other, and I started to wonder what he was thinking, or if there was something to be done if you just finished having sex. None of the romcoms had shown me that, and I had no one to ask. Maybe that was why I remembered Talia.So I decided to talk after sex."Do you think Talia will be mad if she finds out?" I asked Kai, my voice carrying through the silence. "She's your cousin. How should I know?""Did she stop you from having sex?"I coiled at the question. Talia did not seem to be the kind of person who would freely talk about sex, and I, too,
AureliaMy head spun into some far-up, distant reality.Then it brought me back into my body, where I was back in Kai Arden's bed, kissing and being kissed by him with kisses different from every other kiss that we had kissed before now. This kiss was not the hesitant, over-thinking gesture that it had been the last time we kissed.This was different, and I knew he felt it too, because everything, from the stubborn rules to the logic he had tried so hard to maintain before now-all of it dissolved into nothing the moment our mouths met.He groaned with a low vibration that started deep in his chest and came into me and left goosebumps on my skin, while his hand came up from under the heavy blanket he had used for cover and buried his fingers deep into the hair at the base of my neck, digging at my skin.We pulled each other close and reduced the space between us until our skins touched and the heat coming off his skin burned into mine..."Aurelia," he growled against my lips, his breat
Aurelia There were many words to be used in describing Kai Arden.But if I had to use one in particular, I would have said that he was the strangest person I had ever met, depending on how unfair that was to him given that my memories were far limited and with much of my life thrown into oblivion. Still, I was certain he would take the crown.Because what happened between us happened, and then he disappeared. He kissed me and made me feel new emotions and turned it away at the last minute and put my clothes back on and well...Everything after that turned as dramatic as drama could get."I'll get you home Aurelia," he said, sighing. "Just let me get dressed first-""It's late," I reminded him."That's why I'm taking you home. Besides, it's not like there's anything to fear on the roads. We're not humans who are the threats and foes to their own kind. We are werewolves, who can defeat any rogue.""Does that matter?" I asked.He chucked strangely and then turned to go, but I reached fo
Aurelia I shifted back to my human form and spat out a mouthful of loose dirt."You're kidding," I yelled, getting back to my feet."Does it sound funny?""You could have maybe mentioned that before you planted your giant paws on my ribs," I muttered, spitting some more after chewing sand.Kai mer
Aurelia.The kiss broke when I pulled away.He looked straight at me, his eyes questioning and asking why, while I took a step backwards, confused and unable to speak. It had taken me a lot to pull away, because I liked the feel of his lips on mine, but I had done it in the end because there was so
Aurelia.I exhaled on his behalf.“The actual truth of why you think that I do not care, is that I do not give in to my emotions, and walk away at anything that brings me close to expressing them. Emotions of any sort have only brought me trouble.”I opened my mouth, while he, who was still standin
Aurelia I had done it because I wanted to intimidate her.Except, I had forgotten that this same girl, as she had told me, was the reason I was alive, here. Not by my own force, but by her strong will. If she could do that, then I should have expected what happened next. I had changed forms with
