ВойтиWILLOWThere’s traffic. The road in front of us is blocked. Vincent grinds his jaw, seeming to make up his mind about something. Whatever it is, I’m sure it’s related to what he’s about to tell me.“I thought it was the right call to keep bulk of the truth from you but now I realize that if I had just told you everything in detail, you would have acted differently.”He’s staring at me now. His eyes are hard as they usually are. He’s gripping the wheels tightly, causing the veins in his hands to bulge. “I’m guessing you want me to know.” I smile at him. “It’s alright Vincent. You can tell me. Whatever it is, I’m sure I can handle it.”“I know you can,” he lets out a heavy breath. “The boss just wishes for you to have as normal a college experience as possible. It’s why he’s been keeping it away from you as much as possible.”“Tell me,” I insist, growing impatient. “As much as you all want to shield me from the truth, it doesn’t change the fact that it directly affects my life. Aside f
HAZEL“He’s definitely lost a lot of blood,” Asher examines the wound at close range. “His insides are hanging out. That’s why he’s not healing.”“Nick,” I try again. “What happened?”“I doubt he’ll be able to say much to you right now.”He’s right. Nick is barely breathing. He’s staring at us but I doubt he knows we’re here.“How far is the E.R from here?” I stare at my watch. “You think we can get him there in a few minutes without worsening his condition?”“The medics said they were on their way,” no sooner does Asher say that before we hear the blare of the medical van.The medics are here. They can us and I direct them to the field. Nick is loaded into the van and taken to the hospital. A small crowd of students gather to watch but Asher and I pay them no mind. We get in the rover and follow the van.We are both covered in blood but it doesn’t stop us from giving a statement once the Lycan guards get to the ER.“He called me half an hour ago,” I tell them. “He said he was dying.
VINCENTI’ve never lost a charge before. Never questioned my capabilities to protect those I’m assigned to keep safe. I’ve had my fair share near death experiences. Seen thousands of werewolves drop dead during the Lycan war. Nothing fazes me anymore. It takes a lot to make even a crack in my perfectly cooked armor. Willow Thompson comes pretty close today. Can’t believe she made someone hex me and have me confined to a sorority house. Her best friend’s was the first face I saw when I woke up. If she was anyone else, I would have attacked her. Roughed her up abit before demanding the truth. But she’s not just anybody. She’s Violet, my charge’s best friend. She’s currently hysterical, following me around the sorority house like a lost puppy, trying to get me to send the re-inforcements away.I block her out as much as I can, without losing focus of the perimeter. I’ve got guards stationed at every window and entrance door. There are more guards stationed outside. They are keeping a
VioletI’m not a lover girl by natural design but I will say I enjoy the thrill of a chase. Take Gary for instance. As an engineering geek, he hadn’t believed that a popular cheerleader could ever be interested in him, and so, he had resisted my many advances at first.Naturally, that only made me want and chase him harder. I would leave him text messages. Interrupt his geeky club meetings, just to mess with him. After several weeks of trying, he finally gave in. He asked me out on a date and the rest was history. Everyone saw us together and thought we were the cutest couple. At first, I bought into the illusion of being associated with a particular he-wolf. But as time wore on, the novelty started to fade away. Gary was no longer a challenge. Merely a guy that I had chased and conquered. No one knew it but I started to get bored of him. Whenever we were together, I would pretend to be enamored of him. But deep down, I wanted out. I guess that makes me a bad person.And now, I’m
WILLOW“What did you just say?”Something is very wrong. Aiden and I are fighting in a way we’ve never done before. Usually, we’re so understanding of each other, in sync and ready to support each other’s needs and feelings.But this— this feels like something we can’t control. “You heard me,” I glower. “I’m sure you don’t want to take me to the ball anymore. You’re so hellbent on your belief that I had been on a date with Rowan. You were with Lauren last night but you won’t admit it.”“For fuck’s sake, will you quit it with Lauren? I wasn’t with her. I mean, we talked for a bit but that’s it. Hey!” I’m turning to leave but he grabs my arm, halting my steps. We’re angry at each other and honestly, I can understand why. He’s being unreasonable. He hung up on me this morning and conveniently forgot to call me back. All because he believed that I had been on a date with Rowan last night.Is that why he’d posted the video with Lauren in it? To get back at me?“Willow, what the fuck?” A

WILLOW“Get this bitch out of here!” Tessa’s screams fill the room. But I don’t wait to be dragged out. I leave of my own accord.I head back to the security building. Now that Tessa’s back, perhaps they’ll let me see Aiden, if only briefly. But it’s the same story. I get to the office and Lafferty
WILLOW“Willow!” The best phrase to describe Jane Keller is “cunt licker.” She’s the kind of girl that would do anything to get in Tessa’s good graces. Rumor has it that she’s being in love with Tessa since freshman year. That’s got to be the reason why she’s so devoted to her.If she’s trying to t
WILLOWI wouldn’t go as far as to call myself the kind of girl who goes out seeking danger. I know there are people out there, who get off on trying all kinds of exhilarating, dangerous stuff, but not me.Somehow though, I’ve ventured into the last place I thought I would ever go to. An illegal fi
WILLOWI wake up to the sound of my phone buzzing. At first, I think it’s just my alarm but it’s not. Tate Mccrae blasts at full volume and Violet groans in her sleep.“Ugh! Willow. Will you answer that already?” She grunts. “Some of us are trying to sleep here.”Blindly, I search for my phone, dis
