TEMPORARY MATES, PERMANENT CRAVINGS Chapter twelve; If he kisses me
Stella POV"I'm not coming.""You are." Jessica throws herself backward onto my bed, so I have to lift my book to keep her from landing on it. "Stella. Listen to me. What do we do here? We go to class, we do drills, we stand in lines while those sadists shout at us, and then we go to class again. We eat food that tastes like wet paper, and we sleep. Wash, rinse, repeat." She counts it off on her fingers and holds them up in my face. "That's it. That's the whole school. And for once, there's something fun, and you want to sit in the library?""I have assignments.""Oh, and nobody else has assignments?" she snaps. "Did they give the whole Year Two pile to you alone?"I don't answer."At this rate," Jessica says, "you won't pass through this school. This school is going to pass through you. You'll leave here at the end, and you won't have done a single thing."I don't tell her that's the point.Grandfather says I'm not like the others. He says the things ordinary girls do, the dances and
TEMPORARY MATES, PERMANENT CRAVINGS Chapter Eleven: India's Upgrade
JAKE POVStella goes blank and stares at the board while the lecturer waits and the whole room turns to look at her. She still has my note in her hand under the desk, crushed in her fist.That's my fault, and I know it."Stella?" Mr. Harlow, who looks at her like she's the best thing to walk into his lecture hall in ten years, says. "Is something the matter?""No, sir," she says. "Sorry, sir."India laughs. "See? She's not even that smart after all."A couple of girls in the second row laugh. Cole snorts.Stella looks at the board. Her pen moves on her page."Four, sir," she says. "x is four.""Thank you." Mr. Harlow turns back to the board. "Correct, as usual."India's smile goes sour, and I lean forward to whisper to her."Shame. You almost had something to be happy about."She gives me a death glare and doesn't speak to me for the rest of the lecture.I could live with that forever.Nobody knows that India and I aren't together anymore.We broke up three weeks before term started.
TEMPORARY MATES, PERMANENT CRAVINGS Chapter ten: The Things I Cannot Hide
Stella POV I lie awake with Maverick's words going around in my head.I always knew I smelled of nothing much, but I never thought it mattered.When I was younger, I asked Grandfather why he smelled of musk and tobacco even though he doesn't smoke, and why I didn't smell of anything. He laughed and said some wolves are born without a scent, and it was nothing to worry about. He's never been wrong about anything, so I didn't worry.Yet Maverick leaned close to my throat, said, "You smell like nothing," and even knew me by it.Grandfather must have given me the perfume so nobody would notice there was nothing underneath, so nobody would point at the girl with no scent and laugh.What was the point, when Maverick noticed anyway?It's frustrating. I have so many questions and nobody to ask.Jessica is kind to me, but I don't know her well enough.I go to the library and find the biology shelves at the back, under a window with cracked glass. I take down every book with wolf or anatomy in
TEMPORARY MATES, PERMANENT CRAVINGS Chapter nine: The girl without a scent
Stella POVMaverick bought the lie.At least that's what I tell myself all night and the next morning. He said, "My mistake," and he stepped aside, but I can't stop turning it over.He said it twice. It's you.With a face like his, it's hard not to be recognized.But he never knew my name. It was a year ago. Some people need to see a face two or three times before they place it. And a boy like him, an Alpha's son who can have any girl he wants, shouldn't he have forgotten me by now? Shouldn't I be one of many?Naomi told me he looked for me. The boy she danced with that night came to find her the next day and said his friend was asking all over town about the girl in the yellow dress. Naomi came running to tell me, grinning, and I made her take me home.He looked for me. And now, of all the academies in the region, he's here.What are the odds?I decide the answer doesn't matter. I'll keep my head down and take the long way to lectures if I have to. If there's a way to avoid him, I'll
TEMPORARY MATES, PERMANENT CRAVINGS Chapter eight: The stick up Jake's ass
Maverick POV I'm still studying the sketch when my phone rings. Mom. I answer without taking my eyes off the page."Hey, there he is," she says, her smile evident in her voice. "You didn't call last night.""I texted.""You texted one word, Maverick. I raised you better than that."I sigh. On a good day, I'd banter with her, but the girl's denial has put me in no mood for it."So, how are you settling in? Is your room all right? What about food?""The room's fine. Small, but they're feeding me." I run a finger along the edge of my sketchbook. "The food isn't as good as yours, though.""That's hardly news." She scoffs. "I miss you, son. Everyone does. I still don't know why you had to go all that way.""I'll visit next weekend. I promise."She sighs. "Have you seen Jake?"I pause, closing my sketchbook."I have. He wasn't particularly happy to see me, but that's okay."Another sigh. She's been sighing over Jake and me since we were kids."Son, please give him some grace. You know how
TEMPORARY MATES, PERMANENT CRAVINGS Chapter seven: Liar
Maverick POVFor as long as I can remember, I've been good at spotting liars. Maybe it's because I hate lying so much. To me, it's cowardice to have the truth lodged in your heart and still choose to spit out lies.Which is exactly how I feel about the girl I've spent the last twelve months looking for, who just stood in front of me and denied knowing me.It makes no sense. Her actions contradict her words. I can see the recognition in those eyes, yet her denial keeps ringing in my head as I make my way to my room in Blue Hall."I think you've got me confused with someone else."I scoff, standing with my hands on my hips, staring at nothing.There's nothing ordinary about her.Those unusually green eyes, with the thin silver ring around each iris. Her hair pulled back so tightly it must hurt, silver streaks catching the light from the windows. And that mouth, naturally plump, as though the goddess herself spent extra time perfecting it. Don't even get me started on her body. The unifo
TEMPORARY MATES, PERMANENT CRAVINGS Five
The Alpha house felt like I was entering it for the first time. Maids walked past me. Guards were posted at every corner, their eyes scanning the corridors. One thing was clear. Alpha Cameron was in the building.The four of us were in the main corridor like a line of silent competitors. Brianna had
TEMPORARY MATES, PERMANENT CRAVINGS Four
LISA POVThe digital numbers on my alarm clock glowed a steady red. I watched them tick by from 5:59 to 6:00. My skin felt cold, and a dull ache rested at the back of my eyes after spending the night awake. I could hear the muffled sound of the television.I headed for the door. The living room was
TEMPORARY MATES, PERMANENT CRAVINGS Three
CAMERON POVRage tightened in my ribs, making breathing feel like an effort. I turned away from my sister and mate and leaned against the wall. "I won't do it. I have no interest in this absurd contract, and nothing you say will change my mind."Nadia stepped closer and placed her hand between my sh
TEMPORARY MATES, PERMANENT CRAVINGS Two
The wooden floor of the community center felt cold beneath my sandals.“I’ll volunteer.”A girl in the back row let out a loud snort. Beside me, Sasha’s hand clamped onto my wrist, her fingers digging into my skin to pull me back down. I did not look at her. I knew that if I met her eyes, the logic
