SofiaThat guy from the academy, why did he look panicked when I saw him?‘Inez, you're too quiet’ I try to talk to her but she doesn't respond, too quiet after the way we got beaten up by the senior. She must be upset just like me.I sigh, the small noise easily heard among the soft sound of utensils on the dining table. Maria looks up from her plate.“Don't worry about it too much. We are innocent” Maria says, her voice small as she quietly digs back to her food.The eerie silence of this mansion is even more uncomfortable with only Rika around. She prepared us a good meal for lunch. But even the mouth-watering dish in front of me fails to cheer me up. After what happened at the Academy and the way we were under suspicion, it's possible the rest of Pack might see us in a bad light.“It seems Luna is back” Rika murmurs, setting the jug of water on the table before walking out of the dining room.After a while, Belle and her mother walk into the Hall with Rika following behind.“You d
We are all under lockdown while the high-ups investigate the scene. The air around us is thick with tension.“One nap and a murder happen. How much more unlucky do I have to be?” The guy who I have come to know as Steve mumbles to himself while constantly checking the time on his phone. Turns out he has a set of very strict parents.I get his worry.The door opens and a guard walks in. His gaze sweeps over each one of us like we were all criminals. He begins to question everyone separately.“I went to the Cafeteria with her. You can ask Miss Lily, she was there as well” The blonde girl answered, pointing at Maria.I frown, so she went to the Cafe while I took a nap? And didn't even bring anything.“Anyone else who went to the Cafe?” He asked, earning a ‘no’ from everyone.“You both will stay till the CCTV footage is checked,” He tells Maria and the other girl.Just then another man walks into the room, hair long & dark, eyes brown. And face, a mask of unreadable expression; radiating
But is it fair? Why must I go through misery over and over? Every time I believe there's a sliver of hope, each time it turns out to be a mirage, breaking me a little more. It's as if I'm chained and pulled down constantly.“Or is it just biased?” I blurt out, my voice coming out harsher than I intended. Maria’s head snaps towards me in surprise. I know questioning the Headmistress and academy's rules is like pulling onto the chains harder but if I'm walking away then might as well give her a piece of my judgment.“What are you trying to claim by such a statement, Miss Vez?” The Headmistress asks, eyeing me down like I was something to be not taken seriously.“The mere fact that you have prejudices against the outsiders. Those that don't belong from this Pack are considered less deserving, having to go through a test to prove their worth while your people are accepted like one would for a preschool—”“— Maybe your Pack is better, maybe you have great teachers and warriors but believin
SofiaNever in a million times had I thought of Carlos doing such a thing. For someone with a personality like his, it is impossible to believe he would beg a woman for sex. But here I am, the woman he wants so badly in his arms.When he stumbled into my room, looking like an absolute mess with tousled hair, a jacket and a belt hanging on his shoulder, I was sure he was drunk out of his limits but when he cupped my face, his breathing didn't hold that distinctive smell of the liquid drops he used once back when we were in my Pack.He did drink but it's not something that would intoxicate him. And to know that he is this desperate for me in his consciousness managed to tingle my heart, boost my confidence and ignite the fire of desire.Without giving another thought to it, I let my primary instincts take the lead and that's how I ended up on all fours, with his thick cock pounding inside me while his one hand clutched my waist, keeping me from moving away. I had never felt so full befo
I brought the glass to my mouth, frowning at the lack of liquor on my tongue. Leaning forward, I reach for the bottle only to find it empty. Annoyance fills me, and I grunt in disappointment. “That was the last bottle, Carlos” Opposite me, sat Hayley on the couch with a drink in her hand. She smiles while leaning forward before pouring her drink into my glass. “Thanks” I murmur, shoving it down my throat in one go. She trails her forefinger through my hair, the movements providing a sense of pleasing sensation I didn't know existed earlier. “Let me see if I got any more drinks left in the kitchen,” She says before disappearing into the dark hallway. I lean back further into the couch, throwing my head back as the words of my father come running back. I glance around my surroundings in an attempt to distract my mind, to occupy my thoughts with something else. The tall dimly lit lamp in the corner of the room sat on the table with a photo frame of Hayley with her parents. I sigh, r
Carlos “They left no trace behind. We investigated the nearby Packs for suspects but CCTV footage shows no one left their territory after sunset” Ethan, our Beta shared.“The attacker must have left earlier in the day and stayed hidden in the woods, waiting for a perfect opportunity to strike. Normally cities outside our border are closed after sunset which makes it an advantage for the attacker” I state, leaning back further into the couch as I watch the CCTV footage play on Ethan's iPad.“Which will make it impossible for us to claim a suspect in those Packs” Ethan concludes.I nod, keeping the tablet aside on the table.“Those Packs outside are small and would never want to make us enemies. I wonder if someone was hired from there to specifically attack me and Bella”After Derek's departure from this Pack, we are the only heir left of The Dark Shadow. It is a matter of fact that some rivals would want us gone to ruin Marcel.The Packs outside our border are small, but prideful. Wh
Sofia Vez“C'mon girl, don't be a hag,” Maria says, her voice mixed with the sound of a running shower cuts through my thoughts as she prepares herself for the pool party.Belle brought us both here in the Pack House. I had thought the visit was for professional reasons regarding our admission to the academy but the Pack House here is not a professional place but rather a clubhouse for all sorts of fun activities, unlike our Pack.Maria obviously loved the idea of a pool party and now insists that I don't be a bore and just join her.The problem is not a pool party but having to be in a bikini around strangers. Back at home, it wasn't awkward because I knew everyone.“Sweetheart, if you're worried about the admission then let me tell you, I don't bluff around. You will be joining the academy soon” Belle reassures, walking over in a pink two-piece bikini, showing off her toned muscles and abs. She looks striking hot.“So now get up, shower and put this on. Flaunt that sexy body of your
Carlos DeLuca “Hayley, learn to read a room” I murmur, stepping back from her arms. My eyes moved to where Sofia stood, talking to Rika about luggage issues.“What happened to your luggage?” Mom asks, frowning. Belle hasn't told her anything yet.Good.“It's late already. We can talk about it tomorrow” I don't want her to stress and overthink about this whole incident the whole night. At least, in the daytime, I can stick around her to keep her reassured.“And why are you still up? It's past your bedtime” I add in a stern voice.“Oh I'm sorry, I forgot I was the kid here,” Mom says dramatically with a hint of sass in her tone.I forgot who I was dealing with. My bad.“What mother wouldn't stay a little late for her kids?” She gruffled, crossing her arms.I sigh, resting my hands on my hips in exasperation.Sofia and her sister quietly walked out of the scene with Rika.I didn't fail to notice the way Sofia looked at Hayley, a gaze filled with curiosity and bitterness.“Our car explod
Sofia“Your lips look a little— off” Maria murmurs, gazing at my lips just as I buckle myself.I flush, “I don't think so— maybe my lipstick faded because of food.” I giggle nervously under her scrutinizing gaze.She seems to buy it. Relief washes over me as she turns her attention back to her phone.I steal a glance at Carlos who smirks through the mirror but gets smacked by Belle.I almost laughed.“It's my turn. Move over” Belle says, standing at the door with her arms crossed.“I can drive—“Rule of long drives. We will take turns driving so don't fucking get on my nerves, moonpie” Belle says, her voice crisp.“Moonpie?” I ask, surprised that Carlos has such a nickname.“Isn't that cute?” Belle says, grinning like a devil at Carlos.“Just take over and shut up” Carlos muttered before moving over to the passenger seat.“That's like my passenger princess” Belle feigns endearment, reaching for his face to pinch his cheek.Carlos, visibly irritated with her teasing, slaps her hand awa
