Alpha Lorenzo The sound of my phone ringing pulled me away from the clutches of sleep. I groggily reached for my phone and looked at the time—4:30 a.m.I groaned as I sat up in bed, exhausted from only an hour's sleep. My phone rang again, and I answered on the second ring.“What do you want?” I growled into the phone, "Good morning to you too, sunshine," Conan's chirping voice rang out on the other end.I pinched the bridge of my nose to relieve my frustration. "Did anything happen at the pack?” I asked, “No,” his reply came soon after, “Is there anything different between yesterday and today?” I prodded, “No,” he replied. “Then goodbye. Don’t call me again,” I snarled ending the call. Fully awake, I walked to my closet and pulled out gray sweatpants and a hoodie—I was ready for some morning cardio.I got dressed and left my phone at home. I stood on my front porch and looked around, trying to find a potential trail to follow. After a short while, I made the decision to go left, whi
Alpha Lorenzo “Hey Lex,” I greeted when Alexis approached me. "Hi, Enzo. How is your day going?”She gestured to a couple of patio chairs with a smile.“Let’s sit and catch up,” she suggested, her voice clipped. "It has been a while.”Out of habit, I pulled out her chair and sat down across from her. She had a cheeseburger and fries and a large soda in front of her. She pushed her plate towards me, “Have a bite,” I shook my head, “I’m good, I had something in there.”"So, what was it that you needed to discuss with me?” I started squinting due to the sun’s reflection in my eyes. She cleared her throat, “We’ve been so distant, I try reaching out to you but it’s useless because each time I hit a wall,” I sighed as she said this. “Alexis, I made it clear to you multiple times that what we had wasn’t permanent. Anyone of us could end it at any time,” I said, my voice coming out softer than I intended. She sniffled, looking away into the distance, “But we were good, what suddenly change
Raelynn I woke up from a deep, dreamless sleep to the sound of a heavy knocking on my room door.Groggily, I tried getting up, but it proved quite difficult. I blinked to clear some of the sleep from my eyes when I noticed I wasn’t in my bed. I didn’t have a bedsheet with this pattern. After much effort, I managed to get up, only to discover that I had fallen asleep on the bathroom floor.I went to the sink and ran water over my face. As the water cascaded, I closed my eyes. When I opened them, I saw that the water had turned red.‘What the hell!’ I yelled internally. ‘Why are you yelling this early in the morning?’ Lynn snapped, ‘Some people would like to rest, thank you very much.’I ignored her as I stared at myself in the mirror, my hair looked like a bird’s nest— no surprise there. The large gash that extended from my left temple to my ear caught me off guard.The pounding on the door became more fervent and louder. I quickly washed the blood from my face and rearranged my hair
RaelynnMy blaring alarm clock woke me up. I accidentally knocked it on the floor when I jerked my hand forward to turn it off.I groaned and sat up, massaging my tired eyes with my hand. I could feel the gentle morning breeze wafting through my room.I turned to look out the window and saw that it was open, which surprised me because I always closed it before going to bed.I looked around my room to see if there was anything wrong, but nothing caught my eye. I let out a tired sigh and hastily made my way from my bed to the bathroom, throwing away my clothes as I went.I stood in front of the mirror observing my features. My eyes looked sunken, and my previously bright skin appeared pale and dull. I knew something was wrong with me, I just did not know what yet, but I intended to find out quickly.I hurriedly went about my morning duties. Soon after I was dressed in a pair of jeans and a sweatshirt; the weather was quite chilly today. I grabbed my bag, stuffing it with my books and ho
Raelynn The moment I opened the door, I was assaulted by my mate's alluring scent. My hand froze on the doorknob, my body was unable to move— I was frozen on the spot. I didn’t expect my mate to search for me and single me out at school. Lynn wasn’t helping matters either; she was ready to take over my body any second and crash into her mate’s arms. I inhaled deeply, my heart thumping my chest so loudly you could hear it a hundred yards away.I heard a gruff voice yell, “Come in,” my feet moved in their own accord. I slowly shuffled into the room, turning around I locked the door behind me. I remained motionless, facing the door with my back to him. I couldn’t bring myself to face him. I heard the subtle clearing of his throat, “Rae,” he let out in a whisper. “Hey, Hey, look at me,” he called out from behind me. I could not bring myself to turn around; every time I looked at him, the incident from the weekend came to mind.‘He’s an alpha; the supreme alpha, you can’t turn your b
Alpha Lorenzo I woke up early this morning, after only a few hours of sleep.I sighed as I considered how much work I had to get done today. With a sigh, I take out my phone to call Conan.“Hey man, what’s good,” he called out after picking up at the second ring. "Have you informed the Alphas about my request?" I inquired as I walked towards the restroom."Yes, they should be ready for you by Friday," he said between yawns."Good," I grunted in response, "I believe the council is aware of this situation, so we need to tread carefully.”"If the council was aware, would they not take a less drastic approach?” Conan groggily asks."This has been on my mind all night; the council has always expressed their dislike for hybrids. I am sure they have a way to keep an eye on them. Around a dozen hybrids have been found dead in werewolf territory alone. You can’t tell me that the council is unaware,” I finished. "We will see, but we have to keep an eye on things," he grunted in response."An
Raelynn A rose-colored blush tinged my cheeks as my stomach grumbled. His deep chuckle permeated the air making me blush even harder. We were having a great time until my stomach decided to interrupt our moment.I watched as he reached for his phone, I tried not to snoop but it was open right in front of my face. “I can’t believe it’s so late,” he chuckled, shaking his head as he showed me the time, it was 5:30 pm. I gasped as I stood up; the girls were going to kill me.I scrambled towards his desk to retrieve my belongings.“Where are you going?” His deep voice broke my reverie. "I should head back to my dorm. Alison and Ashley would be wondering where I am.”I attempted to walk past him, but he pulled me back by my wrists into his embrace. My fingers landed on his chest as he looked down at me. "We should have a late lunch or dinner first. I can’t have a hungry mate running about to meet God knows who,” he said, his eyebrows narrowed as he pushed a stray hair behind my head.
Raelynn Walking through the streets of Oakville, I could not help but feel nostalgic, and it brought tears to my eyes. I can not believe I made it here, studying in my dream course at my dream school. I sniffed the crisp autumn air, a knot of nervous excitement twisting in my stomach. As I walked down the street, I came to a stop in front of my father's favorite restaurant, La Belle Vie bistro and bar. I wiped a stray tear from my eye and took a deep breath to steel myself. I eagerly stepped into the restaurant.I pushed open the door, stepping into a cozy embrace of savory aromas and friendly conversation.The bell above the door chimed, signaling my arrival. Heads turned, and several pairs of surprised eyes met mine. Most students present were werewolves, their stares a mix of curiosity and apprehension. My ears flattened instinctively, but then a warm voice cut through the silence."Well, hello there! Welcome to La Belle Vie bistro and bar?" A young vampire server about my age a
