Aryan-โCan we talk before you leave?โ My Godparents blocked me from leaving the house.I came home after school to get ready to support Kierian at the game tonight. While I have gone to the last couple of games to show my support, this would be the first time I would be exposed as his girlfriend. Kierian had asked me after school if he could announce our relationship tonight at the game.I didnโt think it was a good idea, but then again, I was sure the rumor about us had already run its course around the school. Instead of staying after school with the others to watch the football team prepare for the game, I went home to change into something that would look like I was the girlfriend of the star quarterback.โWhat about? I am running late. I promised I would get there before the game started.โ I sat on the bench by the front door, to put on my sneakers.โThat is actually what we want to talk to you about?โ Dexter let out a long sigh.โWhat is wrong?โ I stopped putting my other shoe

Aryan-Leading up to the night before homecoming, I was feeling sick to my stomach. Regardless of what happened tomorrow, I planned to tell Kierian everything. He wasnโt happy with me about not agreeing to go to the dance with him.For the last couple of weeks, everything has been smooth, perhaps a little too smooth. We havenโt had any more issues, while we investigated Blackwood. The projectโs due date has already come and gone, but even if we didnโt get much information about Blackwood, we had already turned in the project with our own turn of events.Kierian, Liam, and Sylvie were still invested in uncovering the truth about Blackwood, so we were still working on it. I still hadnโt found the flash drive, but that was the only thing that wasnโt working out so far. Everything surrounding my secrets has been quiet, so I stopped stressing over it.At the end of the dance, I planned to call Kierian out to the Pier to give him our own homecoming dance, where I would tell him about the be

Aryan-โShe is adorable!โ Kierianโs sister wrapped me in a tight hug the moment we arrived on the football field, where everyone was lingering around waiting for the game to start.When she finally released me, I wasnโt sure how to react to her lack of boundaries. I knew her name was Callie, just like the Rogue that I introduced to Kierian when I took him to the cafรฉ. Unlike Callie from the cafรฉ, this one was dressed in black leather, with many small braids in her hair, with green streaks.She had piercings all over her face. Her lips had snake bite piercings, her left eyebrow was pierced, her nose, her cheeks and there were many piercings in her ears. I didnโt realize I was staring, until she started snapping her fingers, with black and green polish on her nails, right in my face.โThey are all fake. Donโt tell my parents though. I am trying to prove a point to them.โ Callie laughed and I noticed there was a tongue ring in her mouth, which was obviously not fake.โDo I want to know w

Aryan- It took me a little longer to reach the parking lot because the kids kept blocking me and trying to keep me away from Kierian. For a minute I thought Liam was on my side because he helped me get to the parking lot. Just before he left his words stung. โDonโt think this means we are good. You have no idea how much you hurt him. If it were me, I would end your life before you took your next breath. You have really disappointed me. I thought you were going to be good for him.โ Shaking his head, he walked away before I could speak. Finding Kierian standing next to his car, my mind completely went blank. Everything I meant to tell him tonight or what I needed to tell him now, just evaporated into nothing. It didnโt help that when I was standing directly in front of him, I didnโt know what to say or how to start apologizing. โSince you arenโt going to talk, I am going to take everything that Brianna said as the truth.โ Kierianโs voice was flat, and his expression didnโt hold a sin

Kierian-To say I was livid was an understatement. I have invested so much time and effort into Aryan. I knew she was struggling with something, but I didnโt realize that she didnโt trust me. I didnโt know what hurt worse.The fact that she was the Aryan I had spent years searching for and she knew it, or that she didnโt trust me. Then there was the whole bet thing. With the bet in place, for all I knew she had been playing me from the start.โWhat do you want to do about her?โ Liam asked.We were standing at the far side of the gym, where the dance had already started. There were still two minutes until Aryanโs time was up. I wasnโt actually going to press her on the time since I knew girls needed time to get ready, but if she didnโt show up, I would make her life more of a living hell than I planned to.I didnโt think she understood what she did was wrong. My feelings were all over the place and I wasnโt sure what to do. I still loved her more than life itself, but obviously, she di

Aryan-When I walked into school Monday morning, I wished I had called in sick. Brianna, Claire, and Liberty were standing by my locker. Since the locker situation had stopped, I started placing my books back in the locker in the hall. I kept certain things in my gym locker, just in case.โWhy are you three here?โ I asked when they stepped out of the way to let me access my locker.โWe are here to follow through on the bet.โ Brianna held her chin up as if she was proud of it.โI can understand you being here, but what about the other two?โ I motioned toward her friends. โThey werenโt the ones who agreed to the bet.โโThatโs what I said.โ Liberty muttered but quickly stopped complaining when Brianna glared at her.โSince I canโt be with you every second of the day, they will help me follow you around. If I canโt do it, they will take my place and wait for you to say if you need help with something. I have set it up with the school that we will rotate following you to class just in case

Aryan-For the first time since the night of the game, when my entire life blew up, I finally felt like I was getting somewhere. A few minutes before my hour with Slater ended, I managed to keep Brianna behind me for an entire lap. Granted she had lapped me, so I technically still lost.Just being able to stay ahead of a wolf, while in human form was impressive enough. If in only an hour I can find the motivation to train harder, maybe this was all worth it. Which is why, as I was showering, I couldnโt stop smiling.After leaving the locker room, Brianna was waiting for me in the gym, already showered and changed. โYou know I just went easy on you, right? It isnโt physically possible that you can be faster than a wolf when you donโt have a wolf.โโI am curious, but what makes you think that I am completely without a wolf?โ I raised one of my brows as if I had a secret that she didnโt know.โBut I canโt sense a wolf on you.โ Brianna looked perplexed as if she was now unsure if I had a

Aryan-I tried to keep my focus on the lesson in Mr. Bensonโs room, but it was difficult. Kierian and Connor were having a staring contest the entire time. Since they were both Lycanโs I am fairly sure they were arguing telepathically.I thought that maybe Kierian was acting this way because he still wanted to be with me, but then again, I wasnโt sure. Just as class ended, he got out of his chair and left the room without even glancing at me. I couldnโt let myself think about it.โAre you going to the field after school? Today will be my first time on the team and I would like to have you there.โ Connor stopped me at the door, as I was leaving the classroom.I noticed Kierian hadnโt wandered off too far, because I caught sight of him down the hall, talking to Liam and two other guys on their football team. Without thinking, I responded to Connor, while returning my attention to him.โI donโt think I will be going to the field for a while. I found something that will help me find out w

Aryan-Filled with raw and intense power, I could suddenly move again. Without hesitation, I kicked open the locker door. It felt like I was being swarmed with a tornado of wind. My hair blew wildly around me as I rushed toward Charlie.Instead of going straight for him, I moved past him slightly. Charlieโs eyes widened as I grabbed his wrist and twisted. I heard his bone snap as Kierian fell from his grasp. Without pausing, I wrapped my arms around Kierian and moved him to the far end of the hall.It wasnโt until I placed Kierian on the ground that I realized I had shifted into my Lycan form without realizing it. Just like the day at the hospital when I saved everyone, I touched my hand to Kierianโs chest to transfer my energy to him. He gasped as his eyes widened, and he jolted upright.Hearing something crackle behind me, I twisted around to see Charlie transforming into a beast I had never seen before. It was like he was part werewolf and something else entirely. His eyes were red

Aryan-โAre you okay?โ Kierian was instantly at my side when I reached the basement.I struggled to remain upright, but I could feel my injuries already starting to heal. โI am fine. We need to figure out a different way to take him out. If you hadnโt seen, I couldnโt match his speed. His movements were too fast for me to get a single hit in.โโIt might help if you shift into Lycan form.โ Kierian suggested.โI tried, but he was relentless in his attacks.โ I sagged onto a chair that Slater pushed toward me.โYou havenโt been a Lycan for long, so it is understandable if you canโt shift in an instant whenever you want. We worked on things but never practiced shifting when under attack.โ Slater stepped beside Kierian as he spoke.โI could shift down here and go up, but there isnโt a large enough passage. Maybe if I come out of hiding but stay distant from him, I could shift before attacking?โ I looked between Kierian and Slater.โIt could work, butโฆโ Slater began.โYou canโt risk exposing

Aryan- I tried not to think about Maize and Dexter for the rest of the weekend. I quickly realized my mistake the next day when we heard they had taken my warning and packed quickly. They left the house, and there were no signs of them anywhere. I know I shouldnโt have warned them. Slater made me realize I was likely in shock and had not thought things through. The Alpha King assured me they wouldnโt get away, but that didnโt make me feel better. I just hoped I didnโt make any mistakes when meeting Charlie today. The weekend had gone by in a blur, but I now had to focus. Standing outside, where Charlie was supposed to meet his son, I was extremely nervous. Kierian didnโt like the idea of me going alone, but I felt it was the only way to get Charlie to fall into our trap. He still didnโt like it, but I agreed to let him be close by just in case. Staying out of sight, I kept glancing at my phone to check the time. A few minutes before the agreed-upon time, I saw Charlie had arrived.

Aryan-Looking at the open folder, tears formed in my eyes as I saw a letter addressed to me from my father. Blinking away the tears, I picked up the first paper with shaky hands. It took a while for my eyes to focus, but I began to read aloud when they did.โMy lovely daughter Aryan, I know this might come as a surprise to you, seeing as I failed to keep everyone safe. I know you thought highly of me and believed I could take on the world, but I am not a superhero. Since you are reading this, it means I failed to stop the evil that has been brewing for years. My most trusted Beta, Charlie, has betrayed me. I thought I could give him the benefit of the doubt when I started noticing things, but as it turned out, I was wrong. I didnโt realize how bad he was until it was too late. Your mother was also aware of this, but now that you are reading this, I know she didnโt survive. I hope that you can take care of your brother for us.โI stopped reading for a moment as I let out a strangled s

Aryan-While we waited for the witches to arrive, I worked on getting everyone set up. The girl, who hadnโt been subjected to being in wolf form, was known as Maddie. She was surprisingly very mature for her age. She helped find things for everyone since she was the one who knew her Pack the most.By the time we found a place for everyone, I was surprised to find out that the majority of her Pack were teachers, doctors, business owners, and so forth. Now, all we had to do was turn them back into humans. It was a good start.With people who could help rebuild the Pack, it made my life a little less complicated. The witches were due to arrive the following morning. We still had a few days before we needed to worry about Charlie. With an entire weekend, I wasnโt sure what to do.For the most part, the school was prepared for the final battle. All the teachers and students had finished reviewing everything, and Slater ran us through everything before we left. Slater said he would come by

Aryan-The following day, we skipped school to go to the Pack, where the Lycans disappeared. We werenโt sure how long we would need to deal with the situation. We didnโt know if it would be another situation, like when we were in Louisiana.It wasnโt a long drive, as it only took us an hour and a half to arrive. We didnโt know what to expect when we arrived, but this hadnโt been it. It looked like we pulled into a ghost town. The buildings looked like they were barely standing. Most had been burned, while a few looked like they had partially bulldozed.Only a few buildings remained, but even they looked like they had seen better days. Kierian stopped the car in the middle of the road, but no one got out. This time, we were in a large SUV since there were five of us, and we didnโt see the point in taking two vehicles.If not for the fact that we could sense others, we would have thought we had come to the wrong place. I also sensed the presence of another Lycan, but it was faint. Looki

Aryan- Over the next few days, we went through special training with Slater. Everyone, including the teachers, worked together to learn about the underground bunker until we all knew it by heart. We learned where every entrance was, including the hidden ones. I was surprised when one of the locations was inside my locker. Everyone was given a communication device and a suit to wear, which we were required to always wear just in case there was an attack. We didnโt think Charlie would show up yet since we didnโt know where he was. I still had to figure out a way to get him to come here. After school, me, Kierian, Connor, Liam, and Sylvie tried to learn more about the Pack that Connor and I visited. It took us a few days, but we managed to locate the Alpha that oversaw the Pack. He was a few years older than we were, so at least we thought it would be easy to talk with him. His name was Aaron, and he seemed nice. I wasnโt sure why he turned his Pack into a tourist spot, but that wasnโ

Aryan-Once the students and teachers were in the auditorium, Kierian started telling the students what was going on. I was amazed at how flawless he was as he spoke. It was like he spent months practicing. With how his presence filled the room, I knew he was going to be an excellent leader.Unlike me, he didnโt stumble with his words. He got straight to the point. Everyone sitting in the auditorium was giving him their full attention. None of them blinked as he spoke or attempted to interrupt him. They looked eager even as they waited for him to finish.Everything I had told the teachers, he basically said the same, except in fewer words and with more confidence. When every student agreed to go through the testing to be able to help, I didnโt know why I was surprised. No one asked questions or doubted him, but that goes to show he was a well-respected future Alpha.From the front row of seats, Mr. Slater motioned for me to go to the exit door, that was left of the stage. We met by th

Aryan-Monday morning, I was a mess. I was fairly sure I had dark bags under my eyes that developed an hour after school started. I was nervous, and my fingernails have looked better, but I chewed them off as I kept circling the conference room, where the meeting would be held.Yesterday, I had everything planned out about what I would say to the teachers, but now it was like my mind was blank. I was rethinking my plan to get them involved. The only teacher I knew was on my side, was Mr. Slater, but that was a given.He was the only teacher that had arrived. While he sat in one of the many chairs around the oval table, I circled around the room. Kierian, Connor, Liam, and Sylvie sat in chairs along the wall, appearing to be completely confident.โYou are going to burn a hole in the rug if you keep doing what you are doing.โ Slater chuckled.โEasy for you to say, all of you look like this is just another Monday. You arenโt the ones about to ask innocent people to join you on a possible
