CHLOE POV

Sleep had refused me last night.

I had to say, the 6:00 am view of the garden was pretty breathtaking, not like I had the luxury to stay and watch but still it was beautiful, the flowers took in the sun as though they forgot it was hot. And also because I needed my daily fuel especially since I barely slept last night.

It definitely wasn't a memory I wanted revisiting but somehow my brain had other plans. I came down the stairs heading towards the espresso machine but someone had alre

  • Take me out of this school, I'm human.   CHAPTER TWENTY TWO

    Chloe POV The house had gone weird again, and it stayed that way for weeks, nobody said anything, yet I could feel a shift in the air.Each time I asked about the dogs, they always found a way to evade the question. Kai would smile, Asher was sure to betray me with a kiss while Jace. Well Jace was Jace with an unhealthy habit of morning drinking. But they all had one word in ‘handle’.The gym was my best place to seek solace, not like I actually knew what I was doing in the name of boxing but it kept me away from them whenever I wasn't at school. Except Asher, he'd always find me.This morning, I slipped into the gym and chose to punch my guts out. I could feel Asher's eyes on me as he sat across, waiting for me to notice him.I didn't, yet I caught a glimpse of his soft smile.“You know ‘sleep’ still exists right?” He yawned.“You didn't have to come.” I grunted.“Well,” he stood and gradually came closer, “I can't exactly stay in bed while you sneak into the gym by 6:00am like a gi

    Chloe POVSleep refused me that night, each time I closed my eyes I saw it. Black fur, dark amber eyes and the other one that saved me, I felt a familiar presence around it. Like it knew me… like I knew it.I sat up straight, could it really be? Werewolves? Humans turn at night to become huge beasts. No, you must be losing your mind Chloe, all those years of watching fantasies have finally caught up to you.What about Asher, what did he mean when he said ‘mine’, I know we kissed but considering the situation, it sure as hell didn't feel like the right time to say something romantic. But that growl, that wasn't romance, that was a claim.Who was he speaking to? Me or them?I ran my hands through my hair. “I think I need to get out of this house.” I breathed.It was barely sunrise when I got out of bed and rushed downstairs to survey last night's chaotic scene. But when I got there, it was gone.I stood at the exact spot where I fell, the shattered glasses, the torn couches, there was

    Jace POV My anger wasn't with Asher, or Chloe. It happened again tonight, she was in danger and I wasn't there again. I felt her fear, her pain. Her suspicion.I sat at the top of the couch, my arms folded as I scanned the scene, broken glasses, claw marks. A mess.Asher came down from the stairs after taking Chloe up, the way she held onto him tonight, the way he looked at her. Then, together, it shouldn't… No, I shouldn't be thinking about this.I lashed out on him, when he was the one that saved her from God knows what. I shouldn't have, and he knew yet he played along with it.“She could've died tonight.” I said, he sighed.“I know.” He said in a low voice, I recognized them. Guilt.“Since when do rogues cross our boundary, since when do they enter houses?” I groaned.“Never. Not until tonight.” He said without looking.“Not until tonight.” I repeated his words as a whisper, my eyes scanning through the mess again. The stench of rogues still clinged to the walls, their filthy blo

    Chloe POV I backed away slowly, my heart pounding against my chest, my fingers trembled as the tightened around my phone.This was different from the one I saw in the woods, apart from the grey fur it looked more aggressive, angry, wild and a little less bigger.Another came from the dark and joined it, its teeth opened ready to lunge, it had black fur. Two!, seriously?They roared, and a glass cup shattered behind me, I tripped and fell on it.“Ah,” I winced as blood ran down my arm, but I had bigger issues to deal with. Like two angry abnormal looking dogs.Of all the million ways to die, faith had to choose being mauled to death. Another growl came from behind, I snapped back.It had a grey fur like the other one,it didn't look like it was going to attack me, it growled at them. If anyone, it was like it defended me.Then Asher came in front of me, his eyes fixed on the two in front of me, his hands curled into a fist as if that would do any good against an animal that big. He did

    Chloe POV The next morning I got out of bed and rushed downstairs, straight to the kitchen, hoping to clear the memories of yesterday's gym incident with anything, but Kai and Jace were already there.“Morning.” Kai said softly as he flipped the pancakes. I smiled stiffly and nodded at him.“Look who's up.” Jace muttered with his legs crossed on the dining table, actually reading a newspaper.“Now that's something you don't see everyday.” I mumbled walking towards the fridge.“What are you mumbling over there?” Jace said, I exhaled through my mouth scanning the fridge for juice.“You're actually reading something,” I laughed once. “you.”He glanced at me.“What do you mean, I do this everytime.” I scoffed, sipping the orange juice.“Sure you do… it's upside down by the way.” His eyes widened, he cleared his throat and turned it the right way.Kai snorted quietly and I joined him, until Asher walked in.“Morning guys.” Asher said in a bright tone, I paused with a mouthful of juice,

  • Take me out of this school, I'm human.   CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

    CHLOE POV A roar tore through the wind.My legs move first, they moved before I could stop them. I didn't look back after I sprinted, oh my God I left Kai back there.I should stop, go back for him. I should, but I didn't. No, I should go find help, what can I do against that… what was that?Even when I could see the house I still didn't stop.“Help!” I screamed, “Someone help!” Until Jace stepped out from the house, that's when I finally stopped. My heart pounding violently against my chest.“Jace– we need to go find help.” I stuttered.“What is it?” He asked.“We were jogging and– and then we-we saw this massive I don't know, a dog, a wolf. Then Kai…” My voice cracked.“Oh no, I kept Kai there. Kai's in danger.” “Okay.” Jace said, arms folded looking down at me. No shock, fear or whatever it was people did when they were told someone was in danger.He stared at me like I'd finished a performance.“Did you even hear what is said?” “Wolf.” His voice was rid of emotions, as if what
