LOGINI was summoned before seven Class A wolves, with Rex, Sebastian, and Clara among those seated at the round table. They were the top members of the hierarchy. Not all Class A wolves could be members of the circle, and unluckily for me, the girl I had confronted was one of them. I was forced to stand in front of them to face judgment for disregarding their traditions and calling their rules “stupid.”Sebastian wasn’t having it but what could he do? There were six other members of the round table, and because I didn’t want to look pitiful, I told Sebastian that I could handle it. But in all honesty, I couldn’t.Rex looked completely neutral, his hands folded, his eyes burning with something that looked like annoyance as he stared at me. I knew he was the one who made those laws, but I couldn’t care less.I wasn’t going to take back what I said, even if I had the chance. The hierarchy was stupid.“Lily… can you repeat what you said to me?” the girl asked.“Does she have to? We are here t
I had turned a few times to look at Sebastian who looked so defeated as he watched us go, I didn’t need anyone to tell me this was unnecessary because I already knew it.There was absolutely no reason for me to be in the same car with him.None .I quickened my steps and caught up with Rex.“You know we could have just talked about this in school, right? There was no reason for all this.”He didn’t answer immediately.He just kept walking like he didn’t hear me.I frowned and continued talking. .“I’m talking to you.” I raised my voice That got his attention, He glanced at me briefly, then looked ahead again.“I heard you…Don’t raise your voice when you speak to me….”I stopped walking for half a second,scoffed under my breath and continued after him.We got to the car ,Rex walked ahead, opened the passenger door and stood there.He was waiting for me to hop in .I blinked unsure of what I was seeing …He raised a brow.“…Are you getting in or not?” I stared at him.“You’re opening
I didn’t sleep, I turned from one side of the bed to the other so many times that the sheets ended up twisted around my legs like they were trying to trap me in place.Every time I closed my eyes, Amber’s voice came back.“If you had to choose…”I sighed and turned again, staring at the ceiling.Choose.?Between Rex and Sebastian.Why is that even a real question? and Why was it even coming from Amber ? I could have expected it from Maltilda but not Amber …It made it even more serious.I squeezed my eyes shut.“Okay…think, Lily,” I whispered to myself.Do I like Sebastian?I paused….No.Sebastian was…just my friend . Being around him felt like something I didn’t have to think too hard about. He made things simple. He made me feel simple.And I liked that.But did I like him?Like…like him?.“I don’t think so…”Then Rex, I groaned immediately and dragged the pillow over my face.“Don’t even go there.”Rex was many things , I have a list, a long one …Annoying.Arrogant.Infuriating.
I didn’t wait for Lustre to say anything else , I turned and stormed out because if I stayed there for one more second, I was going to say something I wouldn’t be able to take back.The strangest part of our confrontation was that I wasn’t even scared of her, I should be …after everything Amber told me and what she was capable of.I should have been terrified but I wasn’t . “Ugh…this girl…” I muttered under my breath as I walked faster, my kitten heels hitting the ground as I stormed towards my quarters. “Always acting like she owns the place…like she owns people…”I scoffed.“‘Strange energy’ my foot…what nonsense…I am not scared of you and whatever gift they say you have …I do not give a fuck !” I kept going, shaking my head, my hands clenching and unclenching at my sides.“And the way she talks…God…someone should just—”I stopped mid-sentence as I reached my door took a breath then pushed it open..The door swung open with force and the sight I saw made me froze .Amber was si
I could feel it, the tension that was sitting right there at the table with us , it was so suffocating almost like it was being pressed down my throat . .Rex’s words still lingered in the air and we were all taken aback by the way he said . .“…after you ditched her.”I hated that he said it and even more I hated that it was true, Sebastian did ditch me but it wasn’t Rex’s business, Was it ? Sebastian cleared his throat beside me, and I didn’t need to look at him to know that he was already irritated, it was more than ending the long silence .“I didn’t ditch her,” Sebastian said, his voice wasn’t loud enough and a voice in my head answered .” Yes you did” I pressed my lips together, he looked at Rex.“And thanks,” he added,. “For showing her the table.”Rex leaned back in his chair, his lips curling, he found the whole thing amusing, I could tell from his smirk . “You’re welcome,” he replied simply.The way he said it made it worse, He was very much aware of the game he was play
Amber needed to keep an eye on the Luna. Even though she appeared to be strong, there was this unsettling feeling sitting in her chest. She just wanted the party to end perfectly…without anything else happening.Her eyes drifted back to Lily’s table.Even from where she was seated, she could feel the tension.Amber exhaled slowly.She was beginning to fear that Rex was more than just a hockey captain. She had known him long enough to understand his nature—he would rather be anywhere else than seated at a round table, eating with classmates…or even his brother.But tonight, he was there.At that table.Because of one person.Lily.Amber’s eyes narrowed slightly as she watched him.She had started noticing it from the moment he offered to show Lily the feast table. The tone in his voice had been different, Controlled in a way she had never seen before.Rex…was acting different..How did he change so much?And why did he change so much?Those two questions kept circling in her mind, mak
Maltilda walked out of the room and into the garden, where Amber was attending to her flowers. The morning sun hit the petals softly as Amber bent over them, humming faintly to herself. Maltilda walked past her without stopping.Amber chuckled behind her.“Trouble in paradise?”Maltilda paused and
LILYWas he joking? Be his girlfriend? Me?“Excuse you?” I stuttered, and he just shrugged again.“You have to be my girlfriend,” he repeated, and I burst out laughing when I saw he had a straight face. I cleared my throat and stared back at him.“You’re not joking?” I asked, and he shook his head.
LILYMy first day at Raven Academy didn’t go so well, if you ask me. I caught the attention of the bullies and the Class A wolves. Even worse, I was holding the jacket of the school’s most feared boy, the hockey captain and future Alpha, Rex. How bad could a first day get?“You have to pick an afte
If I couldn’t stick to Sebastian, then maybe I had to stick with Lustre and Anastasia. I just needed to be more observant… more careful. If I couldn’t rely on reacting to Sebastian, then I had to rely on watching everyone else. Watching their body language. Watching the way their eyes changed when
