MADDOX LINCOLNThe sour taste of alcohol was too strong on my tongue yet it felt like nothing to ease my tensed muscles.It's been just ten minutes since my conversation with Annalise, ten minutes since I made one stupid mistake of letting my guard down and giving in to the temptation.Yet those ten minutes feels like an eternity.She is still upstairs, perhaps shocked from my actions.I fucking should not have gone upstairs.But I would be lying to say if I didn't enjoyed that one second of her skin against my lips.If anything, it only made me crave her more."Isn't it great?" The heavy voice pierced through my jumbled thoughts.I hate disruption even if it's disruption of my thoughts.The man in his early thirties is my father's close friend, standing next to me despite my disinterest.I had him tune out from the middle of 'our' conversation which was technically just 'him' having an conversation of something about a special club which includes only bastards like him.I might be one, but no
ANNALISE CAMERONI hate being the center of attention.There could have been much worse ways for me to be stuck in a situation I could not escape.But of course it had to be the only Pack Event that I chose to attend for the first time.Alpha Jihun stood his ground, throwing daggers at me through his piercing gaze.But it didn't scared me like I had expected.Rejecting the Alpha is like an insult for him and I am aware of it, aware of the consequences it could bring yet I feel nothing but irritation by looking at the stubborn man in front of me.How many termites does his brain have for him to want a girl half his age? I would rather kiss a pig than mate him."Stop glaring at him Anna and stand back behind me" Lucas sharp voice echoed in my head but I have already lit up the fire, there is no way it would calm even if I step back.Alpha Jihun's eyes turned pitch black as he attempted to take a step forward but stopped once someone walked in the scene.I frown, turning to look at the man who
ANNALISE CAMERON"Good night mom" I wish her tiredly before getting off the couch. "Good night sweetie" She stood up as well and pressed a kiss on my forehead.I smiled at her, although it was a tired one, she still smiled cheerfully in return.I sometimes wish to be at least one percent like my mother.As I stepped up the stairs, Lucas' room came into view and it managed to ache my heart.What he had said earlier in the event was still running in my head.I feel guilty for even being upset when whatever he said was true.I sigh and walk past his room to head towards mine.A yawn escaped my lips as I entered my room and prepared myself for the bed.Just when I was about to get on the bed, a strong shiver ran down my spine.Startled at the strange feeling, I look around the room until it fell on the opened window of my room.I put on my slippers and dragged my feets towards the window before closing it shut and closed the curtains as well.I remember arguing with my brother to let me take the o
ANNALISE CAMERONI was sitting in my class, annoyed at the way students kept glancing at me from time to time.The only time I prefer not to hear their thoughts have to be the only damn moment for them to include me in one.It was already annoying to hear their whispers, and now their assumptions, conclusion and what not straight up running in my head.Worst part, I can not even break the link nor shut it unless they do it themselves.All they talk about is me.Is this how celebrities feel when they are constantly talked about or nagged even from afar? But at least they are popular and rich unlike me who is 'talk of the day' in a more degrading way and broke as fuck.I clenched my fist, annoyance flaring with each passing second with their constant chatter that I couldn't even focus on the lecture.Their assumptions are funny, at least to me. 'I, Annalise Cameron slept with Maddox Lincoln' This one got to be the funniest one.How can they assume such an irrelevant thing just because he insul
ANNALISE CAMERON"Let's start with the girls!" Mr.Lance, our PT teacher announced.He is in his late twenties, with a fit physique of an athlete.I never intended on liking teachers but Mr.Lance is too cool with such a great personality that it was impossible to not develop a little bit of crush on him.On top of that, he have a beautiful pair of blue eyes and a charming smile.I mean who would not slip in his charms?The rules are simple, each pair will have two rounds and whoever knocks down the opponent first will be announced as the winner.The first twenty minutes passed with our seniors' rounds.As expected, the one who shone the most was Martha.Her moves, sharpness and the speed was worthy of every praise that she was receiving.My gaze moved to scan the other side of the hall and I caught Maddox staring at Martha.He whispered something to her homeroom teacher and judging from the expression of surprise on the teacher's face, it must be something nice.I do not want to pry but my he
ANNALISE CAMERONA hiss escaped my lips as the nurse applied direct pressure with the tissue dipped in water to clean my wound until bleeding stopped.She examined the cut on my cheek briefly before turning to get another box from the drawer.I watched with horror when she opened the box and it had sutures in it.How bad is my wound for them to use suture?"Since you don't have a wolf to help you heal.I have to stitch the cut on your cheek" She explained softly, passing me a genuine smile but right at the moment, I am sure there is nothing to smile at."Can you pass me the mirror please" I asked, before rolling my bottom lip in between my teeth only to hiss in pain.I groan in annoyance at the realization.The nurse handed me the small mirror and I hesitantly brought it in front of my face.My lips parted in utter disbelief as I stared at my now unrecognizable face.Calling it unrecognizable sounds a little too much but my face looks horrible with swollen jaw and a deep cut on my cheek, r
ANNALISE CAMERONI look ugly.With that perception of my look, I turned my heels and bumped straight into a wall but there was not a wall if I remember clearly? I hiss silently, touching my forehead and looking in front to face a chest hidden behind a black fabric.A buff chest to be precise, my eyes traveled up past the black t-shirt, a tan throat until it landed on the familiar face of Maddox.I gulped, feeling nervous under the intensity of his gaze.His gaze stayed a brief longer on my face, while I tried to regain my stable breathing at the close proximity between us.I shift my gaze down at his shoes instead, feeling self conscious about my look.First my already messed up face, second, a messy bun, third, my simple outfit.A tank top paired with gray sweatpants.Something I prefer at home for my comfort."I know my face is not so appealing to look at right now but how long are you going to stand here and judge? I am sure you have much more interesting things to do than wasting your
ANNALISE CAMERONI barely slept in the past two days.The pair of pretty brown orbs were too deeply engraved in my head.No matter how much I tried to shrug it off, those eyes kept running back in my mind.And the words that he had said in the woods.They were non-stop repeating in my head."Don't like Lance or any other men" I could still hear his deep voice crystal clear, too real as if he is whispering it in my ears every second.His voice was mixture of roughness and vulnerability yet at the same time it flickered an emotion so strong in me that I was left in a maze and couldn't even ask him 'why' or 'what' What was his actual implication with those words?Why would he want me to not like Lance or any other men?My heart slowed a beat at the first possibility that came in my mind but I have been pushing it back in the depth of darkness in my head.I am not yet prepared to even think of it.Are we mates?A strong shiver ran through an entire length of my body.Although I was tucked in
