Se connecterCHAPTER THIRTEEN Kayden.They never talk about how an itch turns into hunger, and hunger turns into craving, the stage when you want a specific sustenance to satisfy that craving.Being hungry means you can eat anything, but when you crave something, everything else seems worthless unless it's what you want.Elissa Logan had taken up space in my head like a brain-eating parasite, the girl had no idea what she did to me, or at least she pretended not to.The audacity to prance around without a care, to act like she didn't feel our bond."You should be relieved, you didn't want her, right?" Kade mocked. Her acting oblivious might as well be her rejecting me.Was it because of that notorious playboy she'd gotten comfortable with?Do I need to do something about him?Erase the fucker so he'd stop staring at her like a meal he couldn't wait to devour. My jaw clenched as I remembered the way she was giggling with him in class. I had been too harsh on her today, but I'd los
CHAPTER TWELVE Elissa.Most werewolves are given gifts at birth, blessed by the Moon Goddess, some hybrids also have special abilities, lycans and mixed species are known for strength and sometimes magic, according to ancient lore.And if I were to choose a special ability right now, I'd pick invisibility. In fact, I would do anything for the ground to open up and swallow me, to teleport somewhere far away from the snickers and giggles echoing in my head right now.An unforgettable memory woke, the faint cheer of my own pack members sentencing me for a crime I didn't commit. Lucian and Candice laughing on the side.It was as if I was there all over again, my chest tight and aching with heartbreak.I need air..."You can have your seat, Miss Logan, and pay attention next time," Lockwood dismissed. His voice jolted me back to my present reality, and I slowly sat down, staring into space."Are you alright?" Finn whispered, and I nodded this time.I paid close atten
CHAPTER ELEVEN Elissa.Unfortunately, the nightmare was the last thing on my mind when I woke up. I had a class with Lockwood before lunch break, and I still had classes to attend.The jeans and white blouse I'd picked out last night made me feel less inexperienced with human fashion standards, unlike the skirt and sweater I wore yesterday. I did my hair in a half-up, half-down style, then added a flower pin Betty had bought for me.Satisfied with the outcome, I left my apartment and headed for my anthropology class. Hugh had asked what I was studying before, and I'd picked Sociology because it sounded less intimidating than the rest, if I had known better I would have chosen something else. So far I didn't even know what the professors were saying, but after my little research yesterday I was able to understand some of the topics.Thank Goddess for that.I entered the lecture hall and sat down in the third row. The female professor arrived ten minutes later and
CHAPTER TEN Elissa."And I told him to get out, I mean who cheats on his girlfriend and blames it on a demon possession? It's so lame, he took advantage of my obsession for supernatural stuff, like I would be stupid enough to believe that crap," Nora huffed. The girl was like a bird, the type that comes in the morning, they chirp and chirp for so long your ears start aching until the noise drives you crazy.She had given me the full gist of how her ex cheated and stole from her in just twenty minutes since we'd met, the girl was odd and suspicious.She didn't even know me, and she was telling me all these things. This information she was sharing was useless, and even if it was personal I didn't think I could use it or find a clue to her goal."He lied and tried to gaslight me, can you believe it?" She turned to me and I shrugged.If she was telling the truth, then we had one thing in common: shitty exes.At least hers wasn't trying to kill her."I'm not surprised,
CHAPTER NINE Elissa.My walk back home was plagued with thoughts of Mr. Lockwood, I couldn't even focus on the rest of my classes. I couldn't focus on anything else and it was aggravating, I should hate him.I should be thinking of how to stay far away from him, instead of going back, and that was all I wanted to do. Run back into his arms. It bothered me how he had that effect on me, we hated each other, that much I knew.But I hadn't felt this way with anyone before. I had never sat on a man's thighs before and felt that way, so turned on I couldn't even think straight.His masculine scent still lingered in my nostrils, it made me feel close to something.His scent reminded me of autumn, my favorite season, when the air is fresh, and it reminded me of home, but not my pack. It was weird, I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Of course, I would get my answers if I had my damn wolf, but unfortunately I didn't have one.Useless.The voice that haunted my nightmares f
CHAPTER EIGHT Elissa.In the human world time runs faster. I usually woke up around twelve pm, as they called it back at the pack, but here they woke up so early in the morning and everything was done at such a fast pace because of time.I woke up late despite the ringing from my phone. Betty had helped me with something called an alarm, which I understood now was meant to create urgency to avoid missing my classes in the morning.Unfortunately, it didn't work. I woke up at nine instead of seven and hurriedly took my bath, putting on a black flare skirt and a sweater.I didn't even tie my hair and just rushed out of my house, or apartment, whatever they called it, and checked my time, it was already past ten.I ran towards the building where I was having my first class for the day and found out it was the jerk from yesterday. He was teaching when I came in and sat down beside one of the humans.A book suddenly dropped on my desk as I sat down, and I turned my atte
