The bell jiggled, alerting us of the next activity which was sport. A smile tugged my lips as I got on both feet, straightening my long blonde hair along. Bonnie's eyes were on my neck and with a smile, she said, “I'm glad you were able to conceal the mark. It's quite better this way. At least no one will get so nosy and curious to know who your mate is when they aren't able to see it.”“Thanks for the idea. Come on, let's go for sport,” “Wait..” I said, stopping Bonnie on her tracks. “I forgot to tell you. My request to be a part of the cheerleader's team has been approved. I can't wait to Join..”I disclosed, grinning from ear to ear.“That's great…You sure are a perfect match for the team, Isabel.”“Thanks.. and urmm. I'd love to get some of my stuff in my locker. I also have to hide this diary as well. I don't want it getting out of my locker. I guess I have to change my keys. Matilda and her gangs are really pissing me off..”“I hope you didn't write stuff about you and Derek
When my eyes locked with Derek, he flashed me a warm smile from afar, his emerald eyes piercing into mine.As soon as Matilda walked up to him, I could see the other girls recoiling fearfully, giving way for her to approach Derek. That dreadful bitch! She's the bullies' leader and the source of my greatest nightmares. It aches to witness her constantly wanting to claim Derek and force herself on him. She put her arms around him, drooling as she cast him a calculated look. Derek looked so good in his jersey, and I was wondering how and when he decided to join the school football team.Enzo flung his ball into the air before catching it quickly, keeping his gaze on Derek the entire while. He focused his attention on Derek, his expression unreadable when he spotted the group of girls surrounding him. A few girls were also around him, particularly his girlfriends, and I'm sure he was envious of how many of the girls were turning their attention away from him and toward Derek.The few gi
“Hello! Anyone there?” I inquired as I grasped the doorknob, pressing it lower and exerting considerable power on the door in order to open it and exit the restroom. After shrieking for what felt like a minute, chortles and laughter erupted from outside, resonating in my ear. Tears welled up in my eyes, and no one needed to remind me that my own bullies had locked me up on purpose. They are here once again; always ready to haunt me and stress the crap out of me. Always ready to make me experience nightmares every single f**g day at school. I'm sick of them, and I know they did this because they saw me with Derek. They did this because Derek initiated a conversation with me. They undoubtedly assumed he was interested in me. Only the Moon goddess knows how they'd react if they discovered we're step siblings. The worst that will happen is when they discover that we're mates. Anything that happens, I'm willing to accept my fate. I'm willing to endure all hardships just to be with my mate.
Mason held my shoulders, his eyes widened as he searched my face and body for any sign of bruises. I cleaned the drop of tear in my eyes, squinting as I weighed the motive for his sudden appearance in my eyes. “Isabel.. tell me. Did Matilda do this to you? Did she lock you up?” He asked once again, his face filled with concern as he stared into my bluish weary eyes. When he was about to touch me, I recoiled and retraced my step, not wanting him to. Since I learned about what he did to Ashley, I've resolved to keep him at arm's length. He is working hard to win my heart, but I will never let him have his way with me. I'm not a puppet he can use and toss around. He's nothing but a jerk and an egoist, I won't be among those he'd use for his carnal satisfaction.“Don't touch me,” I finally voiced out, giving him an intense stare, one that made him puzzled. “I'm only concerned about you, nothing else. I heard you were locked up In the bathroom so I decided to show up so I can help you,”
“What do you mean?! You're asking this because he fought for me that day?” I asked as I sneered at him and the smile on his face faded at once.“Do you think he's my mate all because he stood up for me by fighting against you? He's not, okay. He's not! Derek is not my mate. Whoever my mate is, it's none of your business,”He smirked after hearing my comment and he tucked my hair to the side of my neck, wanting to see my neck clearly. “But you don't have a mark.. are you sure you found your mate?” He asked and I gulped down the lump in my throat, thinking of what to tell him..The mark was already concealed with the cosmetics I applied on my neck, making it less visible.“We decided not to mark ourselves yet. Wait.. why am I even telling you all of these? leave me and stop asking me private questions.. it's none of your business if I've found my mate or not. All I want you to know is that I can never go back to someone like you. Having you as a mate will be the most miserable thing th
“Who is it?” Derek asked curiously, shifting towards me on the bed, his eyes searching my face. I slipped my fingers into my blonde hair and let out a deep sigh, my face wrinkling from confusion as to why Mason was calling me. Ever since we broke up, he has never called me and I've never done so as well. We moved on completely but now I'm shocked to see him call me. Was it because of what I said to him about Ashley? What did he have in mind to say to me?Derek got impatient when I didn't give him a reply. He grabbed my phone from me, peering at the screen to see the caller.“Mason? It's Mason..” He mumbled as he averted his gaze towards me, his emerald eyes piercing into mine, probably wondering why Mason was calling me. Sometimes he feels I haven't gotten over my feelings for Mason. “Is this the reason you're a little bothered? Did Mason do something bad to you? Did he threaten you? Please tell me Isabel,” Derek pestered, his eyes searching my face."He — he did nothing. He was undo
I shook my head and placed my hands on Derek's chest, staring into his stunning emerald eyes.. “I would say he's a little cunning and stupid. Just being silly and stupid, doing all he can to claim me back as his..”Derek's eyes widened after hearing that. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fist, his face a mixture of impotent fury. He hates it whenever Mason tries to do all he can to win me. He has every right to be jealous. I am his mate and not Mason's.My hands slowly glided up his chest to his neck, and I grasped his chin, my eyes radiating assurance. “Mason can't have me, okay. No matter how hard he tries, he can't. You're my mate, Derek and not Mason,” I mumbled, my voice tinged with Conviction.Derek cupped my cheek and with his brows creasing in confusion, he asked, “You mentioned something about threats. What kind of threats?” “You remember Ashley, don't you?”.“Who's Ashley?”“Ashley, one of those girls we met at Bonnie's house. She played truth and dare with us, reme
“Isabel, tell me.. Where were you? I was searching and looking around for you the whole time while I was playing on the field. I didn't see you among the cheerleaders. Did you go somewhere else during the sports period?”He asked, his eyes searching my face like there were answers on it. I let a faint sigh before shoving my fingers into my hair, my brows raising in confusion as I thought of the answers to give him. “I was with Mrs Anderson..yeah. I was with her,”I replied and his brows furrowed as he nodded, probably still not satisfied with my answers.“Okay. So I'll make fast food for us to eat. I guess mom and dad will be coming early today,” I mumbled as I got on both feet, wanting to change the subject. Derek's eyes were on me the whole time and I'm aware of it. Gosh! Did I just mention that I'll prepare the food? I've forgotten I have little ideas when it comes to cooking. Oh no. Why did I mention that?As I held the door knob, Derek's soft feathery touch on my skin made me st
“No Derek. Don't reveal it to them,” I mumbled, shaking my head as I stared at him. He grabbed my hands and gently touched my cheek, and I shook my head, still adamant about my statement. I didn't want him to reveal that we're mates to them. I don't want anything to prevent my mom from getting married to Mr Walter. I'm not ready to make the announcement public yet. “Derek please,” “It hurts seeing you get hurt, Isabel. It breaks my heart to see people treat you this way and bully you. We have to stop our parents from getting married. I think it's what's best…”Derek mumbled, his voice tinged with conviction. Letting out a breath, I grasped his chin and said, “I don't think I'm ready to tell anyone, Derek. Our parents! How will they feel? They're yet to pick a wedding date … gosh! You just reminded me. My mom mentioned that she will inform both of us about their wedding date today once they return from work. We can't cut their joy short, Derek.” Derek nodded and suggested, “I can't
