MasukHades Pov“Fuck, I can’t wait for us to crush those pussies,” Jeremiah grinned, practically vibrating with anticipation.I didn’t bother responding. My wolf—Zach—had been pacing nonstop inside my head, restless and aggressive in a way that set my instincts on edge.Suspicious.“You good, Cap?” Alex asked.I smirked, masking it. “Always.”“I’m sure he’s just thinking about how many girls he’s gonna bang tonight,” someone laughed.I shook my head just as my phone buzzed.Cous: I’m here already. Break some legs.Me: Fuck off, sucker.Cous: I’m wishing you well, coward. Say it to my face.Me: Try me. Gotta go.Cous: Good luck out there!Me: I don’t need luck. I win regardless.“It’s time,” Coach announced as he stepped into the locker room.I rose, gripping my hockey stick as the team gathered. We slammed fists together, chanting before skating out onto the rink.The moment my blades hit the ice, Zach roared—so loud it almost ripped from my chest.Mate is here.“What?” I muttered internal
Elena's PovThe burst of laughter was loud, satisfied, and purely vindictive. "Oh, that was satisfying as hell. Did you see his damn face?" Elena crowed, collapsing into her chair.I nodded, still smiling. "I know—so epic, mehnn."Hayden, ever the pragmatic one, summed up the whole situation, carefully linking the past to the present. "So, he rejected you when you were fat, and now that you've worked on yourself, he suddenly wants you back?""Exactly," Elena and I confirmed in unison."The audacity of him calling all this," I gestured dramatically down at my new figure, "a 'surgery' or a desperate cry for attention is just incredible."Hayden blinked, looking thoughtful. "Did you work out because he rejected you, though?""Uh, partly," I admitted, shrugging slightly. "Well, it's mostly because I want to be hot. It's just a lot of reasons, honestly." I let out a long sigh, the complicated truth heavy in the air.We had settled into our seats in the middle row just as the main lecture
ELENA’S POV "Elena?" he asked, and I glared at him."The one and only! What's your problem?"The way he blinked at me like he’d just discovered fire made my skin crawl. Boy looked confused and horny at the same time — a deadly combination of stupidity."When did you become this beautiful?"I almost choked. Not on air — on pure rage."What a dumb idiot!" Ria growled in my head, making me shake my head."For your info — I've always been beautiful. You're just too dumb to see it," I spat. "Now fuck off — I have friends to get to." I brushed my arm against him on purpose, shoulder-checking him with premium attitude before walking away.My smile came in slow, wicked, and smug."Good job, liora," I whispered, praising myself like the queen I am.By the time I got to where El and Hayden stood, I was floating on my own ego. I handed their drinks to them with a dramatic bow like I was the main character in some chaotic fairytale."Guess what happened?""Did a hot guy ask you out?" Elena asked
Elena’s POV“Is that Elena?”“I wouldn’t have recognized her if not for her face.”“Damn… she looks different.”Yeah, yeah, keep talking, people. That’s exactly what I want. Let them choke on their own jealousy.Lena and I walked through the hall like we owned it. Our steps hit like thunder—every eye glued to us. She was rocking the shorts and tops we picked together, looking like a goddess who decided to casually grace mere mortals with her presence. What a child, honestly.“You must be feeling like you own the school, right?”A voice dripped with all the fake sweetness in the world, making us stop mid-step. I sighed and rolled my eyes before I even looked. Of course—it had to be Melinda, the self-proclaimed queen bee, dripping with arrogance, standing with that fake smile of hers. Jason’s little slut—typical.“Oh my, it’s the school bee. Welcome back! What got in your pants?” Elena fired back, and her eyes snapped to Lena, burning hate into her gaze.“For you too—lose some weight, m
ELENA’S POV“Argh, fuck, I feel like I’m losing my mind!” I groaned, my chest heaving up and down, sweat slicking my skin after the relentless jogging Aunt Kate had dragged me through. My legs screamed in protest, my lungs burned, and yet she stood there like some impossibly perfect drill sergeant, arms crossed, tapping her foot impatiently.“We didn’t even jog far, Elena. You’re just being lazy,” Aunt Kate shook her head, smirking like she already knew the response.“Ha, aunt,” I muttered, dragging my feet across the path.“But baby, I’m proud of your growth,” she said, stepping closer, eyes softening. “Just… look at you.” Her grin widened as she took my hands and spun me around like I was some princess from a fairy tale.“You flatter me too much. But you know it wouldn’t have been possible without your help,” I admitted, breathing heavily, my ribs still aching from the sprint.“You’re my baby. I’ll help you anytime. But damn… I swear the boys will be dying to have your pussy.”I cho
ELENA’S POVThe students’ shouts faded into the chaos of my pounding heart as I turned toward Jason. His eyes locked on mine, and Ria’s growl ripped through me again, louder this time, sharp and demanding.“MATE!” she bellowed, claws twitching beneath my skin.Jason’s face darkened, his gaze stripping me bare, as though he could see every flaw, every imperfection, every part of me I wanted to hide. My stomach twisted. My breath hitched. The world narrowed to just the two of us.He took slow, measured steps toward me. Each stride made my heart hammer harder. His eyes raked me from head to toe, stopping a fraction too long on parts of me I hated myself for. He stopped just two feet away. The crowd around us gasped, and whispers floated through the air like sharp knives.“You?” His voice was low, laced with something I couldn’t place. Disgust? Anger? Confusion? Bitter amusement?“The Moon Goddess couldn’t pair me with anyone else but…You.” His words cut through me, slow, deliberate. My c
