TALON My heart was beating too fast. Chloe was right there, backed up against the door, and she had nowhere to go. She looked up at me with those wide eyes, and all I could think about was how close we were. My wolf was going crazy, pushing me to just lean in and taste her lips. And I wanted to. God, I wanted to. But I didn’t. I couldn’t. I’ve been trying to stay away, trying to keep things under control. However, the second I saw her phone light up with Edward’s name, something in me snapped. She didn't understand neither did she realize what she was doing to all three of us. Jett was already losing control and soon, he would snap. " I wouldn't say it again, Chloe. Don't say I didn't warn you." With that, I turned and left running back to my room like I was a little teenager running from a girl he liked. On my way back, I stopped trying to mask my emotions as I saw Jett coming. None of them knew Chloe had kissed me first. We never hid any secrets from each other but th
"Where are you taking me?" I hesitated following Talon but I did. I wanted to know the truth about what happened with Jett but being too close to Talon, to any of them was like being pulled by some force. I couldn't help it. "Ouch." I said as I hit Talon's back being absent minded. My heart was pounding in my chest and I was nervous as he turned to look at me. His eyes...They were captivating and deep. "Are you okay?” Talon asked, his hands catching mine before I could stumble. His grip was warm, steady. “You look nervous.” Of course I was. Being near any of them was like standing too close to a fire I secretly wanted to touch. I snatched my hands back, praying he hadn’t noticed how sweaty they were. “I’m fine,” I said awkwardly. Talon didn’t move. He just looked at me, his eyes narrowing slightly like he was trying to peel back the layers I kept tightly wrapped. “I’ve told you more times than I can count, Chloe. You’re different. Special,” he said quietly. “I know
Jett’s eyes weren’t his own anymore. They glowed red and hungry as he stared at my bleeding hand. His body was tense, shaking, like he was fighting something deep inside him. Something dark. Before I could say a word, Talon shoved him hard, sending him crashing into the side of the tent. “Jett, back off!” Talon growled, standing protectively in front of me. Jett blinked like he’d just woken from a dream. He looked down at his hands, breathing fast. “I—I didn’t mean to…” His voice cracked. “Her blood," My blood? My heart beat faster as I stared at the thin cut on my palm. It wasn’t even that deep, but it felt like the whole world had changed because of it. I was bleeding too much for just a small cut. “What’s happening to me?” I whispered, stepping back. My knees brushed the chair, and my blood continued dripping down to the ground. Talon turned to me, his face tight. He looked scared for me. "Her blood....I can't control it." Jett said, his eyes turning dark red.
CHLOE "You're beautiful." I blinked, thinking I had magined it. But Talon was really here kissing me in front of all our classmates. Not a soft, shy kiss. A deep, breathtaking one. His strong hands cradled my face, keeping me still like I was something precious he didn’t want to let go of. Everyone was watching, but I didn’t care. My heart was pounding, and for the first time, I didn’t want to run. I was lost in it and I didn’t want it to stop. "Oh my god." A girl gasped making me open my eyes. Talon's eyes remained close as he kissed me passionately gently stroking my hair without a care in the world. " Two minutes is up!" Darcey said with a smile as she looked at us. Everyone stared at the both of us in hush silence making me shy. Talon finally pulled back, his breath brushing against my lips as he opened his eyes. They were dark and unreadable, like he was trying to tell me something without speaking. I blinked up at him, dazed. My lips tingled as I looked at him.
TALON Kael and Jett were changing fast. Their wolves were clawing to get out, but the curse held them back. We looked like normal hybrids, but we weren’t. No one knew the truth. Our wolves were trapped inside, growing wild and dangerous, slowly turning us into something worse. Making us lose our minds. And Chloe, she had no idea. Every time she got too close to another man, she triggered the curse making it worse. The moment I saw her standing with Edward, I didn’t think twice, I moved. Rushing over to her, I grabbed her hand, pulling her away from him. Kael and Jett instantly steadied themselves, gasping for breath, their eyes locked on Edward. The last thing I wanted was for our curse to be exposed. What would the packs say if they discovered sons of the mighty Wolf King couldn't turn? Chloe's eyes widened as she looked at me. Edward stepped forward trying to challenge me but I stared at him. That was all it took. One look and he backed down. “Come,” I said, my voice rou
Jett left opening the door for a second while Kael and Talon stood, their shoulder tense as they waited. They looked so hot, so untouchable. Bad boys that the Academy had worshipped were all on their toes because of me. When they returned, I couldn't help but turn my face away shyly as they walked in. They didn't look like the rain had affected them at all. "Just a cat messing around." Talon said as he patted his cheek dry with the towel he had found. The cold was still much, clinging to my skin like icy fingers. I pulled the old blanket tighter around my shoulders, but it didn’t help much. My damp clothes stuck to my body, making me shiver. Kael moved first, dragging a broken chair close to the dusty fireplace and tossing in some dry pieces of wood he’d found in a corner. Talon crouched beside him, flicking a lighter until a small flame caught. The fire crackled to life slowly, casting soft shadows across the room. Jett returned last, carrying something in his arms. An ol
