“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 was so elated as the term's ending was fast approaching. Not only was I excited as I anticipated the forthcoming holiday, I was also happy because my boyfriend, Mason, would be claiming me as his mate in front of everyone.My face blushed in excitement and I closed my eyes as images of Mason flashed in my mind. Last evening I saw him at the school garden, he looked so hot in his unbuttoned shirt and pants. His long blonde hair and alluring blue eyes were qualities I loved the most in him."Gosh! Don't tell me you're daydreaming about Mason again Huh?" Bonnie, my best friend asked as she wrapped her hands around me, snatching me out of my reverie.We had been friends since childhood and we attended the same school together. Our parents were best friends too and I saw Bonnie like my very own sister.I turned to look at her, my gorgeous set of teeth showing through a warm smile. Her ability to accurately anticipate who I was thinking about didn't surprise me. "I'm correct, aren't I?"

"You've been moody these days, Isabel, Is something wrong with you?" My mother asked, her face etched with concern as she stared at me.When she noticed that I didn't give her a response, she tied her green apron and wore her spotted mitten, getting ready to make some pancakes for breakfast.I lost my dad when I turned nine and I've been used to growing up without him. I remembered how I often shared my worries and burdens with my mom when I was a kid but now, I chose to keep things to myself.My relationship with my mom wasn't the same anymore as we moved from being friends to more like acquainted strangers.Besides, she has been so busy with work these days that she barely has time for me plus I felt I was too grown to tell her all of my problems."I'm not moody. I'm just a little tired lately," I lied as I reached for a drink in the fridge, trying hard to avoid a gaze with her."You know we haven't been discussing with each other lately and I know that's because I've been too busy

"You're just a stranger. Why are you so interested in helping me?" I asked as I took down more glasses of the whiskey.There were other customers at the pub but at that instance, I felt like he was the only one there with me."I can't stand to see a pretty beautiful angel cry. It hurts me," When he said that statement, my eyes widened. At that instance, I wished he was my mate but sadly, he wasn't."Tell me anything angel, I'm here to comfort you." I studied his lips closely as he uttered those words. Who on earth was he? How does he know that comfort was what I needed badly at this point?."I'm depressed because my mate rejected me last week. Because I am wolf-less, he has never considered me to be his mate. He raised my expectations by expressing a desire to make our relationship public, but in the end, he turned me down. I'm in so much pain. I'm so embarrassed by him that I don't even have the confidence to resume school the following term,""Lastly, he mentioned that the only re

I was not sure why, but I was eager to get back to school on this final day of vacation. I had felt stronger and relieved since meeting that guy, and I had completely forgotten about Mason.I gathered my things as soon as I got out of the taxi and made my way to my mom's modest home, which was located on one of the busiest streets in Riverdale pack.My eyebrows furrowed as I witnessed my mother kiss a man before he drove off in his elegant Camry. Since I was feeling better, I decided to express my happiness for my mom's decision to get married.She was about to walk in but stopped as soon as she sighted me."I guess I arrived late," I muttered with a smile as I took slow steps towards my mom.Her eyes sparkled with curiosity as she pondered why I was treating her so nicely, but I held her cheeks and spoke to her tenderly."I'm sorry for getting mad at you the other time. I guess I was only thinking about myself." She held my cheek softly and pulled me closer to give me a hug. "I ag

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

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

Holding my dairy tightly, I followed Bonnie out of the classroom, my brows cringed with my face etched in perplexity as I wondered where she was taking me to.“We're having a free period..no lectures until sport hours which Is why I dragged you here. I want to speak to you privately, Bonnie.”My brow furrowed, wondering whether it was serious; Bonnie frequently does this when she has something important or troubling to convey to me. When we finally arrived at the empty classroom, I watched as she exhaled before slipping her fingers into her brown curly hair; one that blended with her beautiful ebony skin.“What is it?” I asked with raised brows, my eyes blinking as I stared into her deep brown eyes."I wanted to discuss what I told you about Mason and Ashley. But first, what's up with all the noise in class? Did someone bully you? I saw Mason arrive to save you. Tell me. What actually happened?"Bonnie inquired, her brown questioning eyes scanning my face for any signs of judgment. I

It was a lovely Wednesday morning, and the sun rose early, lighting the entire sky at once. After my bath, I opted to dry my body with a soft towel before putting on my sports outfit. It was Wednesday, and we were definitely going to dress in sports attire rather than uniforms. I dashed to the sitting room and met Derek, who was serving the dishes of food on the table. He grinned as soon as he spotted me, and I came up to sit next to him. “Good morning, Derek. What about mom?” I asked, knowing it was my mom's usual routine to make breakfast for us before we go to school.“She was extremely tired, Isabel. I told her not to bother. I caught her dozing while she was making breakfast. You know our parents had a long day yesterday so she must have been exhausted. She needs enough rest,”Derek mumbled as he popped me on the nose playfully. He was correct, though; my mom needed ample rest. I wish I knew how to cook better now. She had always done the cooking. It's embarrassing that I still

I cut Derek off in the middle of his sentence by placing my finger on his lips. He softly placed my finger down and cradled my face, his emerald gaze fixed on mine. "I understand it's only a game. You had no choice but to do whatever was requested of you. Damn! I wouldn't say I wasn't jealous when I watched you kiss Hayley.”I voiced my emotions, and a slight smile tugged Derek's lips. "What? Every female feels envious when their mate kisses someone else. It just bothers me that people will continue to claim you as their own because they are unaware that we are mates,”“I really wish we could reveal our relationship as mates to them. I badly wish we weren't step siblings..Derek.”Derek pulled me towards him, wrapping his arms around me. His breath fanned my skin, sending waves of comfort through me.. “I don't care if we're step siblings or not. Our mate bond is what matters. With time, we'll confidently announce our status as mates to them. We just have to be patient.”"But it's not e
