Everyone came. Everyone, including Zoe Parker, my best friend. She moved across the country to get away from her mother for five years but when she found out that she was a werewolf, she decided to stay with her mother in the pack. Sadly this was the day of my parents funeral, it was all my fault. They would never have died if they were not trying to get me a cake for my birthday.Minutes later, three limousines arrived at the house. The family filed into the vehicles while the drivers loaded the hearse with the numerous roses. I loved roses; they were red, I loved anything red except blood.The atmosphere not only looked gloomy but felt gloomy for me... I hate this, why did they have to die? I thought momentarily before she took his seat at the front. "I'm so sorry for your loss." Tess whispered to my brother who just stayed mute.Kayden was my younger brother and I didn't even think for a second if he cared about our parents death cause he never wanted them around. He was not alway
As we rode into the forest, I stared at the tall trees and the wolves that were having difficulties climbing them. "Are we there yet?" Kayden asked, impatiently and Tess almost shouted at him."Kayden, won't you be a little bit polite to shut up. You've asked that same question repeatedly for five minutes now." Tess reprimanded and he frowned.After what seemed like a fruitless journey, the car pulled to a stop in front of the pack. As soon as I came down, I felt everyone's eyes on me.I didn't want to give them that impression that I was weak but as I passed through the hallway with Tess, I could hear their gossip."A female Werewolf?" Someone asked."No, she doesn't look like a Werewolf, she's definitely human.""But she's beautiful though."We both walked into our new house and I hurriedly placed my bag on the chair. "Woah, I didn't even know you would become famous in less than two minutes." Tess said, a teasing tone beneath her words as she also placed her bag on the chair."Famo
As soon as I walked into the hall, some of the guards got a hold on my hand and tightened their grip on me. "What's happening?" I asked Jake who just joined the rest of the pack leaving me behind with the guards."Is she a human?" A man who seemed like the leader of the pack asked. They nodded and he stared at me for a while. "Beautiful human, I'm surprised. Take her to the cell." He added and my eyes widened.What were they trying to do? I asked myself as they dragged me into a dark cell. I sat on the floor, scared because I couldn't see anything. I heard a sharp noise behind me and I shrieked with fear. "Who's there?" I asked, still scared.A light chuckle was heard and the whole place became bright. "They're playing games with us." A girl said. I was still scared, I didn't know what she was doing there. Who is she?"Who are you?" I inquired, gently trying not to piss her off with my question. "What's happening? Why did they throw us here?""I'm Lillian and I'm a human." She answ
Morning came already and the cell was bright with light. It was time for the competition and we both pretended not to know each other. I was in for the competition and she was also in for the competition...I erased yesterday's emotional moment from my head because I knew that one of us must survive. I had to prove a point to these monsters that I was no weak female competitor. Walking outside, I found the pack chanting Lillian's name. She had been the reigning human champion so it wasn't surprising that they wanted her to win.On a normal day, I would feel discouraged by their chants for the other opponent but I wasn't feeling that way."Are you up for this?" The man, who seemed like the instigator of the competition, slowly asked and I ignored him."Mr Jason, that's what they call him." Jake whispered to me before he quickly walked away. Jason walked to the middle and showed everyone a knife on the ground. "This is how the game is played." He began with a broad smile on his face.
Few hours later, I had packed my clothes into my bag and taken it to the bus. I couldn't wait to get to the Werewolf Academy but I'll definitely miss my brother and maybe Tess because I didn't understand her behavior lately. Kayden was already crying as I arranged my bag beneath some bags to make sure it was secured and safe. I could see the tears in his eyes, he definitely didn't want to be separated from me. "Sis, don't go," he pleaded and I wiped his tears with my hands. "I'll miss you so much, you're the only one I have left."How could I tell him that if I didn't go they'd kill him? I definitely had to go to the Werewolf Academy to find out about them. I patted his back and smiled at him. "Kayden, I'm doing this for us and I'm sure I'll come back stronger to save you. I love you and nothing will ever get us separated."He nodded and hugged me.It felt so comfortable that I didn't want that moment to end. I wanted to cry but I managed to stop the tears from flowing down my cheeks
"What are you doing here?" He asked and quickly grabbed a towel which he used to cover his nakedness."Can I come in?"No, why did I ask that question?He nodded and I sat on the bed. "I'm sorry, I didn't realize someone would meet me in that state. You're Hailey right?" He inquired and I nodded."And you're?""Kyle... Kyle Brandon." He stammered, nervous. It seemed I was already popular even before arriving. "Almost everyone seemed to know me, what happened? How's that possible?""The whole school was informed of your arrival and since we decided to take you in, we were informed earlier." He explained.Sounds great! He was the son of my kind adopted Werewolf parents. "Huh, thanks for taking me in." He smiled cheekily. "Now, I don't regret it, you truly are beautiful." I knew he wasn't the Cursed Alpha because he was gentle and kind. He was the type of guy any girl would want to be mated with. "Thanks for the compliment.""Where's your sister?" I inquired."Still at the Academy, I
I placed my hand on the knob and took a deep breath before opening it. When I walked into the classroom, all eyes fell on me.The teacher pointed at my seat and they all gazed at me. It even felt mode awkward when she referred to me as 'Human'After she ordered me to introduce myself, I cleared my throat. "My name is Hailey Marquis, I'm friendly and nice,""And you're beautiful." One of the boys at the back chipped in and I smiled."Thank you," I murmured, loud enough for them to hear me.I occupied the middle seat in the classroom which was at the back. It didn't take long for my mind to leave the class.I began to think about the student I was told to avoid. I was specifically told to avoid Alice because she was a bully.I noticed the guy in front of me was kinda gentle so I talked to him. "Hi, can I have the seminar summary?" "What seminar?""Huh, I was told by a teacher that you guys conducted a seminar last week and I would have wanted to see it."He smiled awkwardly. "Oh, it's
Thirty minutes later, I knew I was doomed. I had failed to mark my attendance and I was definitely going to be sent to the woods to die. No, why was I sent to the Werewolf Academy? Did they send me here to kill me? I managed to stop myself from crying.I sprang up to my feet as soon as I heard the toilet door open. "Who's there?" I shouted but when there was no response, I continued. "Someone help me, I was locked in here. Please help me."Finally, someone unlocked the door from outside and I found Zoe staring at me shocked. "What happened? How did you get locked in this toilet? What happened?" She asked, concerned."I don't know but I feel someone locked me in here and I'm suspecting that devil."She took a deep breath. "Nah, I don't think it's Tristan. I don't think he would even have that time to be in a female's restroom."Then who did that? It wasn't even my major concern, I just wanted to find out about the attendance event. "What about...."She cut in, she seemed to know what
