LENA'S POV “No way,” I said, pacing slowly in front of the couch. “You’re telling me Briar turned into a werewolf? Ivy, come on.” “I knew you wouldn’t believe me,” she said, crossing her hands under her breasts, her back sinking into the couch. “Ivy werewolves don't exist,” I insisted. “They only stay in the movies, you might have seen wrongly.” I have to look for ways to convince ivy that werewolves aren't real, she can't find out about me, I can't let her. There were sbout a thousand things that could go wrong it she knew what I was. She could dump me, report me to the authorities out of fear or she could just treat me like a freak, so no way, I can't let her know about me. Ivy was a very hard person to convince, she was almost impossible, but I was willing to take my chances. “Ivy, you know werewolves don't exist, did you talk to Briar after seeing what you think you saw?” I lets out a sigh. “I left immediately, he ran into the woods and i took that opportunity to run the
LENA'S POV As I stepped out of the Dean’s office, I couldn’t help the smirk that spread across my face and for the first time in a long while, I felt proud to say who I was…not that I wasn't proud of who I am, but I had this feeling I couldn't explain. It was so satisfying that I got to put people in their place. I left Casey and his parents inside the office, Casey might probably be crying to his mommy and daddy, wel he got what he deserved, l he called me a stripper and a trash…now let's see who's the trash. I saw Nathan in the hallway, patiently waiting for me, his back leaned against the wall with his hands in his pockets. His lips curled into a smile as he saw me. “What happened?” he asked. I walked past him, swinging my hips confidently. “Nothing much, just some family problem but it's settled now.” He walked beside me in silence for a few seconds, then nodded like he understood more than I said, even though I knew he didn't but he didn't push. That was the thing about
LENA’S POV I sat in the cold, uncomfortable chair outside the Dean’s office, my heart racing in my chest. Casey and his cronies were already inside, laughing like they were the rulers of the world. He couldn't even handle what be sow, what a fucker. The door opened, and one of the men from earlier stepped out, with a grim expression as he motioned for me to enter. “Lena,” he called. “The Dean will see you now.” I took a deep breath and stood up and walked calmly past him, As soon as I stepped into the office, I saw Casey standing there, looking smug as ever, his two friends were next to him, his arms crossed, as if they were preparing for a show. I froze for a second, and Casey’s eyes locked onto mine. A grin spread across his face. “Well, well, if it isn’t the stripper herself,” he sneered. “How does it feel to know you’ve finally ruined your life? You’ll regret this, Lena.” My jaw tightened and I took a step toward him, refusing to let him intimidate me. “You know, Casey, y
LENA’S POVI suddenly woke up, enjoying the spicy, sweet, buttery smell, My eyelids felt like iron doors being pried open by sunlight, and every pulse in my head slammed like a drum. My tongue was dry, my limbs were heavy, sore in strange places. I felt like I’d been rolled under a train.I sat up, my eyes widened in shock realizing that I was naked. Under a blanket, yes, but still how the hell did I end up naked. In fact, how did I end up in my dorm? My brain caught fire as I glanced around, My bra draped on the chair, my jeans on the floor. The door creaked open and Arlo walked in, I almost screamed. Arlo walked in like it was just a Sunday morning, barefooted with gray gym shorts and a plate in his hands—toast, scrambled eggs, and what smelled like bacon. The smell almost fought my fear for dominance.I yanked the blanket up around me. “What are you doing here?” I snapped. He chuckled. “You were the one that invited me to bed, don't you remember?”What? Hell no, what did I
ARLO’S POVThe place I took Lena to wasn’t fancy, just a cozy dive bar with Chinese lanterns and wood tables scratched up, but it was an expensive place, like damn expensive, some call it the celebrities lounge but I call the humans trash dump, it was just another annoying place where only humans gather to flaunt their wealth. It smelled like old beer and something fried in oil that hadn’t been changed in a week but she didn’t seem to care.I ordered her favorite dumplings and sweet and sour chicken and told the bartender to keep her drinks light but Lena seemed to have her own plans. She started ordering different kinds of drinks and was drinking like it was water.First she ordered a cocktail and it disappeared in five minutes, then she ordered shots, the first, second, third. I reached across the table to stop her but she backed away.“Lena,” I said, quiet but firm. “You don’t need to drink like this.”She laughed, slapping the table and waving me off. “Don’t tell me what I need
ARLO’S POVThe moment Briar shoved the phone in my hand, I knew something was wrong, his calm naughty face had turned to seriousness, that wasn't Briar kind of attitude. “What's it?” I asked. He nodded to the phone. “Check it man, you just have to see it.”“I swear if it is another video of Ivy showing off in a bikini, I will kill you,” I warned. “Dude, Ivy is my girlfriend, why would I show you something like that, last time was a mistake,” he defended. I swallowed hard, pressing play, waiting to see another stupid video then I can punch him straight in the face, but immediately I played the video, my world paused. It was Lena's sextape. My jaw clenched so hard it felt like my teeth would crack. “What the hell is this?” I demanded. “Ivy sent it to me this morning, she said that Casey leaked the video because Lena denied him sex yesterday,” Briar revealed. I handed the phone back to Briar without saying a word, I picked up my car keys and left. I didn't need directions. I drov
