THE REAL PROBLEM IS NOT HER

DEAN

“you fucking lost her!” Kyle slaps the dashboard so hard it rattles.

I grit my teeth to keep from retorting back and tighten my hands on the steering wheel. We didn’t expect her to know we were following her let alone evade us like she just did.

I pack on the side of the road and they both look at me like I have lost my mind. I will be the one to lose my mind if I stay in this car one more second with Kyle talking shit like that and then we will cause a fucking wreck on the road.

“What the hell?” Cole asks as I climb out and they both get out as well. I run my hand on my shaven head and look at the sky trying to calm down.

“He just let her go and now he is giving her time to escape us even further,” Kyle snide, and with a step, I push him into the car, and hold my fist up ready to punch the smug off his face. I look at his maniacal smiling grin and know it will not do any good hitting him. in fact, pain is a fucking turn-on, on this psycho and he is just riling me up.

I step away from him, letting out a scream of frustration.

“Kyle, behave for fucking once, we are all feeling the frustration and you are not helping it,” Cole speaks from where he stands, hands in his pockets, exuding an air of calmness but I know he is far from calm.

Cole is the calm on the storm, the one who is always in control even if it’s a fucking hurricane boiling inside of him. Others cannot see it, but the three of us see it all so well. None of each of us can hide who we truly are, how we feel, or how we react to each other. Since we were kids.

Kyle is a maniacal psycho who loves pain, and rage, he is the most unpredictable and reckless of us all. He is the destroyer of the group. If you mess with the group, the executioner comes for you; Kyle. And you never want that.

That doesn’t mean the rest of us aren’t as dangerous. We are all equally lethal, destroying you without you even realizing you are dying, and we watch you burn in flames, dying at our feet. A feat we have understood grown up with and done since we were pups.

I understand the high emotions running around us right now. We have taken a hit two weeks ago and it’s so close to us, personally. That’s why we are fighting with each other, something we have never done before.

Landon’s family was killed in what looked like a road accident but it was a kill. It was a hunt and we have not recovered. It has raised our suspicions even further, which is after a month ago, another pack of one of our packs was killed.

We haven’t been able to make any connections between the leaders’ deaths and Landon’s family, but we are still working on it. And now, following the new girl is not working as well as she seems to have evaded us.

She is probably no threat and is not linked to anything, I did check her records. I even did a background family check and I found out she is from Maine, and her family is small, with two siblings, wealth, and nothing major really. She is clean. That didn’t stop us from following her, whether to confirm that she is indeed clean or it’s just our obsessive behavior to get to know her tracks and what she does on days she skips classes, on her first day.

Or the fact that since we laid our eyes on her we haven’t stopped thinking about her.

“We have to talk about it,” Cole speaks and I sigh. I don’t want to do this, not here.

“There is nothing to speak about. Landon is not himself, we are not ourselves, and we are feeling the loss. All of us, that speaks everything there is to say,” I reply, wanting to go back to the house.

“The connecting has become stronger, and I am guessing it’s because of the death. We have never felt that loss, or experienced it before,” Cole clarifies Kyle kicks the car tire hard the whole car shakes almost doubling over.

“And you want us to sit down and talk and pour feelings out? Of how the family’s death affected us so much that our connection is so much better? Yes, go ahead and tell Landon that,” he spits and Cole sighs.

“Yes. That’s what I am going to say. We are going to get through this, together. We always get through things, together. Always.”

Cole might be a dickhead sometimes but he speaks sense too. A cold-hearted fucker but he is well-calculated and never takes risks when it comes to our family. Us.

Landon has not been the same since his whole family, mother, father, his two sisters were killed. We were out partying when we got the call that their lifeless bodies were found on the road, in an upturned car. They were driving home, after coming to visit one of their relatives. We got there in time just as his little sister was taking her last breath.

The whole scene was set up to look like a normal car accident. I could see the car’s skid marks when it tried to break, then the upside-down car. But what caught my eye was the way his father and mother were all positioned. There was something wrong with that image I have not been able to put my finger on it.

And the craziest part was, despite our keen sense of smell, there was no strange, new scent. It was like whoever killed them masked their scent so well, it was so unsettling.

We have all not been the same since. Something is up, something is coming and we have no idea what it is, we just know it is never going to be the same again. I just have to believe Cole is right, that we are going to get through with this.

    STORMThey are doubting me.I know this because I realize it was them that was following me yesterday. I was not counting on them to start questioning me so early on but yet again, if they didn’t, I would be surprised how they go the title ‘royals’ in the first place.It might be because they come from the leading pack families but they are widely known by people all over. I had heard of them long before I knew it was them I was looking for.But I cannot have them doubt them, or even question my presence, so I have to present myself to them in a way they don’t see me as a threat. I am yet to meet the fourth one, hopefully, he will be present.Then there is the issue with the mates. I did my research on them and I got to know they are their true mates.

    STORMI can’t believe I let the jerk rile me up! I fix myself and get out, sidestepping the sandwich and my stomach grumbling now even more. I am not so friendly when I am hungry, and it doesn’t help that the bastard just told me I am not desirable.I realize that we had an audience but they don’t seem to have heard our conversation. Standing taller, I pass by them and realize they are four but I don’t get to see the other one as I pass them, a little sway on my hips and a flip of my finger towards the jerk as I pass him by his redhead girlfriend who sneers at me.I can’t help but smirk a little when I see his eyes widen a fraction, as he didn’t expect me to flip him off let alone retaliate back. I don’t look back either, heading straight to the cafeteria to get breakfast if I have any way of surviving through the first break.As I enter, I am struck by the grandeur of the space. The ceilings are high and adorned with beautiful chandeliers, and the floors are made of polished marble.

    KYLEShe smells so intoxicating, like a mixture of honey and floral flowers, a scent that should be too much sweetness but it’s not. It makes you want to draw in and sniff her even more, a dark rich scent. Her hair, is so thick, it catches the sun and I see the dark brown glints, so long I want to wrap my fist in it as she takes my full length in her mouth, choking and gagging.I loved how she looked at me with those puppy sparkling blue eyes that I see the fire in them anytime she looks at me. I wanted to save her, I wanted to put her on my lap and tell her she has nothing to fear when she is with me.Fuck!This girl is all I have been thinking about and Sarah can sense it as well. My relationship with my eating is as normal as it can be. Nothing big, just the usual picking your mate, a mate you are going to one-day marry and mark as your own and have little pups. Cole, the stupid muck but also wise suggested that it was time perhaps each of us took a mate since the last time we ha

    STORM To say I am distracted the whole time I am in class is an understatement. It’s been hours since I got away from, them but they are all I can think about. Being close to them like that did something in my mind and belly. I keep getting like flutters when I think about their proximity, and when Landon touched me… I could swear the whole world faded and I I couldn’t see or hear anything trapped in those grey eyes. When I came out of the haze, I could feel all of them watching us, which made me all the more anxious to get the hell away from them. I need to breathe and get my thoughts in order. Being with them, near them made all thoughts escape my mind and I didn’t want that to happen. I check my phone at the number he saved himself in it. It’s the first and only number on my phone. Just as I am looking at it, a text message flashes, and I open it. It’s Landon. He just texted me the party details, and I see it’s not that far away from my new house. And he adds a little winking

    STORM Any good hunter would know this was a stakeout. I didn’t expect anything less from them and I have to admit, this is making me thrilled, knowing they are as good as all the rumors said they were. I knew appearances mattered at such a party, but I needed to show up as myself, or else I was already losing the game. I was nervous, but it’s where all the fun is, right? The butterflies in your stomach, are a little breathless, and the coil inside of you know that this is supposed the start of a very dangerous edging game.. that’s where all the fun is. That and the undeniable attraction between us all, so palpable you can taste it. I shouldn’t be thinking about that. But it’s all I can think of and the fact that I am going to be wrapped in their scents not long after this, which is going to drive me crazy and make me murderous at the same time. A crazy combination for a girl like me. Sighing, I get out and approach the huge oak door, and a guy opens the door for me. “Name?” “

    LANDON I am walking on thin ice. It’s no secret that she is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen and sexy as well. But there is something else, that’s right there but you just can’t see it yet. Like a mystery, you don’t want to know because you’re a goner once you do. Which makes all this reasonable. I still haven’t managed to make her let her guard down, but she will. Just a matter of time. There is just something about her that has all of us on edge, a certain unpredictability about her. Sure, her story checks but still, a niggling sense at the back of my mind tells me to keep my guard up with her. Her arrival into town and my parents’ death is all too much coincidental. I have experienced pain before, but my parents’ death, my two little sisters …I will not rest until I have the killer in my jaws, taste their fear when they see me coming for them. And then I will proceed to break all their bones, in excruciating pain; because I will find them, even if it kills me. And the

    KYLEIt was all my idea.The party was going wild all around me, but my eyes were only on her. There she stood, so close to him as they talked. She looked at him like she only saw him, something that made me tense, enough to grip the party cup a little too hard to destroy it. I toss it aside, and I suddenly, want to charge toward them and demand to know what they are talking about.But, Tonight is all about her, knowing her true reason for coming to this town, and him leading her on is all a play, but I don’t think he is remembering it because since they got back from his room, the bastard has been a little glazed.Something happened between them. The thought makes me both mad and jealous which doesn’t help my mood at all and I am not the only one who seems to feel that.

    STORM Landon and I have been on the road for a week now and right now, we are on our way back home. It's so early, and I am quiet in my seat as I look outside the window as he drives. My whole life changed when I met them, and I cannot take it back, every single of them. I don’t regret any of it. I have decided to go home knowing that there is always going to be darkness in me, it's there to stay, and the best part of it is, I have found boys who want to join in on my darkness. They have shared theirs and invited me into theirs. It's my time to let them in and invite them on in mine. For great love, you must go through the pain. To have all that you desire, you must sacrifice. Pain and love go hand in hand, for you cannot love if you don’t feel the pain of it, it goes together. You cannot know what you have until you have lost it all. And that’s what I realized during my break. I did what I had to do, even went away for a minute from my love to know how true that statement was.

    STORM The bar around ends up being a biker's bar, with several bikers packed at the front. I shouldn’t, it's rowdy, and if I am guessing, when they see me alone some will try to hit on me taking me for a fragile little thing that has ended up where she isn’t supposed to. Even before I let that thought to sink in, I am already opening the door, the little bell at the top of the door chiming, and the whole bar goes quiet, all eyes turning towards me. I pause, taking it all in and all the people in. Burly men, tattoos covering their skins heavily, leather jackets and studs on some, a few girls on their laps, and they all look mean and menacing. I proceed to walk towards the tabletop counter where a woman bartender is watching me. everyone is watching me and after I sit down, when they realize I am not going away, they resume their talking. “what will you have?” she asks as she wipes a glass with the towel. “something that will make sure I have a good time tonight,” I reply as I hol

Singing along as I beat the steering wheel, wind in my hair as I come from a kill that left me freshly rejuvenated.It should worry me a great deal that the only thing that’s making me feel alive again is killing, but that thought only makes me laugh.I mean, who am I to deny who I am? Maybe it was destined for me to finally embrace this dark side of me without painting it to be a burden, like a means to an end to my purpose.I have no purpose now, other than to feel me again and love me.That’s a good purpose, I didn’t think I was all about self-love and all, I think to myself as I look at my blood-caked nails.I need to find a place to sleep in tonight, perhaps eat human food, cook of course, and sleep.

I can't seem to remember why I am doing this because it hurts so much, but it's all for the better.I wipe away the tear sliding down my cheek and get in my car, revving the engine and speeding away.Back on the road again, alone, leaving all that I have ever wanted behind.I open my compartment glove and I find my old burner phone.

    KYLE It’s a rainy gloomy day. It must be matching with my moods and those around me as we all await our bride to walk up to us. The ceremony is being held outdoors, the planners had thought that the day would be sunny and warm, but the rain has started and hasn’t stopped since an hour ago. I don’t mind, as I know this is not exactly how I wanted us to do this so here we are. “why did she not choose the other location that was offered?” Dean asks me quietly as we stand at the front of the huge tent serving as our shelter. They still managed to pull it off with the lowers, it would look magical was it not for the bitterness and bad taste in my mouth about this day. “doesn't matter, we are not here to party, we are just a means to an end for her to leave us,” I respond to him. “Can we all stop doing this? It's already in motion so let's get this over with,” Landon mutters. None of us have been in good shape or moods since last week when she said that she wanted to leave and the o
