Selena’s POV My joy, which was supposed to last forever, was cut short when I got a call from Ricky. Thinking he wanted to apologize for ignoring my calls and texts, I picked his call with a bright smile. “Hello dear.” I cooed, twisting my hair in-between my fingers. “End it.” His cold response came. I had to take my phone off my ear to confirm his identity. This was the first time he was speaking so coldly to me. Even when he discovered I was the reason Eric returned and began to make trouble, he didn’t speak to me with this tone. “Why the sour tone? Fine, I know you are mad at me…” I was still speaking when he interrupted. “You think I won’t find out?” He asked.“Can you just stop this madness young lady?” Cole’s voice came through. “Young lady?” I asked, biting my bottom lips. Things had really gone south. “Ask Eric or whoever is behind that fake news on the school website to bring it down else, you wouldn’t like what would happen to you.” Ricky said with a deep voice. Bef
Shannon’s POVMy eyelids fluttered open but the bright light made me shut it almost immediately. I could hear background voices but I couldn’t decipher what they were talking about. Trying to find out what was going on around me, I forced my eyes open only to discover I was on a hospital bed, surrounded with sterile white walls and medical equipment which were beeping continuously. My body was aching all over, and my head, throbbing with pains added to my frustration. With my eyes tightly shut, I allowed confusion to wash over me as I tried to remember what had happened. The last thing I could recall was drinking the water Selena offered and then I was unable to move. “Wolfsbane?” I heard mom’s voice and at that instant, my eyes shot open. Wolfsbane — I wondered, my gaze fixed on mom and the doctor. “Yes. She consumed a lethal amount which led her to current state.” The doctor said. “I didn’t take wolfsbane. What is the doctor talking about?” I mumbled, trying to fix my gaze on
Shannon’s POV After that encounter with mom, our relationship became strained. She noticed I was still mad at her, so she tried all that was within her power to please me, yet, I didn’t budge. The following day saw me in my room cuddling my pillow as I thought of all the good times I had shared with her. Suddenly, my mind went to Selena. Deep down, I was certain she was behind the wolfsbane incident. Even if the triplets bullied me, I knew there is no way they would try to hurt me to the extent I would find myself in the hospital. When she came around that day, fright and anger overwhelmed me and that was why I began to cough since I was uncomfortable. If I had known she had an ulterior motive, I would have asked the triplets to ask her to drink the water. Of course they wouldn’t ask any questions, moreover, she was on their blacklist. “Shannon, breakfast is ready.” Cole said, poking his head into my room. “I already had breakfast.” I replied, not bothering to look in his direct

Selena’s POVI woke up feeling super excited. First, the moon goddess had granted me an opportunity to get rid of Shannon in the easiest way. Secondly, she was in the hospital, probably fighting for her life or maybe even dead by now. Jhenna was excited just like I was. With the way things were going, the only thing that would separate us is death. She always went out of her way to see to it that I was happy and she always shared in my happiness. What more could I ask for in a friend? “Here, drink up before the ice melts.” Jhenna said, handing a plate of ice cream to me.“Thank you.” I replied, flashing a smile at her. “Are you still on the school website?” She asked, placing her legs on the table I was resting against. “Yeah. It seems she isn’t dead yet…” “Don’t say that. You and I know the wolfsbane was an overdose and would take the intervention of the moon goddess for her to survive. I guess the family doesn’t want to reveal her death yet. Don’t worry, the news will come in
Eric’s POVI groaned frustratingly as anger surged through my veins, this couldn’t be happening. I couldn’t deny that I hated Shannon but seeing her mated to that bastard made my blood boil. I couldn’t understand these feelings but I did understand something. I had to get Shannon back, she was mine alone! No one could stop me from having her, even if it took my last breath!I flung the items on my table away, totally drowned in rage. “Can you just sit down and think.” My wolf voice echoed in my head. Ignoring the annoying voice in my head, I punched the wall beside me. “You need to stop all of this! Let’s find a solution!” my wolf said. “I also want Shannon, there is just something about her wolf that attracts mine. Remember that I warned you against rejecting her.” My wolf added, his voice already starting to annoy me. “You don’t have to remind me about that!” I finally replied to him. My wolf and I didn’t share an amazing bond maybe because I never listened to him or because I
Ricky’s POV“Heard any news about her?” I asked my brother enthusiastically. The news of Shannon missing had brought out several emotions from me. I had never felt these emotions before, it was hard to adapt to it. It felt weird that my heart tugged just at the mention of her name. I didn’t realize how much I enjoyed teasing her, how her voice brought melodies to my ears, and how her perfect little body pleased my hungry eyes. I felt stupid that I had to find out this way how much I cherished her. “We have not heard anything! This is becoming aggravating, my wolf is beginning to go insane!” Jules said, his voice sounding frustrated. “I don’t know why I can’t get Shannon out of my thoughts. It’s stuck! I never knew there was a day that I would cherish our moments like this.” Jules added with a sigh. “Same here, I regret that we are always bullying her. She doesn’t deserve something like that.” Cole said. “You guys are right but we can’t do that now, we have to get her out of thi
Shannon’s POVMy body had hit the floor with a hard impact when Eric dropped me to the floor, and I tried to hide the pain that surged through my body. I was weak and couldn’t even make an effort to free myself from this monster. Eric was the monster, I couldn’t believe that he would do something like this. What was his gain? He had rejected me, leaving me with the pain of handling my rejection and when I had gotten over it he came back again and kidnapped me. Could my life get any better??I had just escaped death after being poisoned and now I had to face being kidnapped. It seemed the whole universe was against me, I couldn’t pinpoint what I had done to deserve this. All through my life, I had fought and suffered all tribulations brought to me and have accepted it but I was getting tired. It wasn’t my fault that I was given birth to as an omega, no one ever wishes to be birthed to such descending rank but I was unfortunately blessed with that by the Moon goddess. I might have
