Jayla"What the fuck is wrong with you?" Beth screeches as she tries to get up, but her pencil heels slip on the washroom floor which is a bit wet, and she falls back on the floor. I don't pity her one bit, though."This one is for calling my mate yours," I growl as my hand comes in contact with her face, and I slap her hard. The slap sends her face flying in the other direction and a red imprint forms on her cheek. I am proud of that."This one is for hurting my best friend and being a power hungry bitch!" I say, pulling her up by her collar again, and this time I punch her nose.A cracking sound reverberates throughout the whole room and a wave of satisfaction flows through my body. This isn't me. I know that. I can never be so brutal and violent. No matter how much someone has hurt me, I can never hurt them back this much. I really am not the violent type, but apparently, my wolf is.Because as I just said, this isn't me. This is my wolf taking control. I whip my head around to t
Jayla"What do you mean by there has been another large-scale rogue attack?" My voice doesn't do anything to conceal the amount of shock I am presently in.I thought that the rogues have been reduced to an insignificant number by now. But this is the fourth attack by rogues in the last week that our pack has suffered. And they are obviously not a small group of rogues. It is an entire army. They are so many and clearly, they are trained.Training requires money and sponsors which gives us a hint that someone is funding these rogues because otherwise, rogues are generally jobless and without money. This is simply because of the fact that Alphas don't give them permission to stay in their territories for jobs and neutral lands are too risky and also, jobs are scarce there.So they need to live on stolen food and they also need to run from pack to pack to get food and do odd jobs from time to time. All in all, their life is pretty pathetic. So the thing is that they never get to train th
JaylaThe Alpha's statement makes everyone around us gasp and I hear whispers of people wondering if Shane will be replaced by someone else."I don't mean to disrespect you, Alpha Gavin, but I think it would be unfair if he is not given a chance to defend himself."A strong and defiant voice says, rising above all the voices in the hall and everyone turns toward me in shock.That's when I realize that the strong and defiant voice belongs to me.Alpha Gavin looks surprised as he raises a brow at me, as if in a challenge. I stand straighter and hold my ground. There is no backing out now. I have to do this for Shane. For my best friend."Are you sure you don't mean to be disrespectful by questioning the Alpha's decision?"I take in a deep breathe. I can get in serious trouble if the Alpha gets offended because I am not a high rank member of the pack."I am just stating what the law says, Alpha," I say.Alpha Gavin's eyes narrow at me. His nose flares and he grits his teeth as his fists
Jayla"That is it?" l ask him in complete shock.He nods and gives me a cheeky grin."It wasn't even that difficult!" I exclaim, my lips stretching into a wide grin."I told you," he says, laughing happily as l tackle him into a bear hug."Thank you, Tyler. Thank you. Thank you so much!" I gush as I release him and close my books.My homework is finally complete, all thanks to him and I can now submit it tomorrow at school without worrying about getting an F. I gather all my books and keep them on the study table, then I go back to the bed, climb on it and rest my head on the headboard."That is it?" Tyler says, repeating my words from earlier and I look at him in confusion."What?" I ask, hoping the confusion I feel is visible on my face."Won't I get a gift?" he asks as he smiles at me cheekily.Laughing, I understand what he means right away and I lean forward to kiss his cheek but he moves his head in the last moment so that my lips meets his in a kiss.He doesn't still move away
Jayla"What are we doing here, Jess?" I ask, annoyed as hell, as we stand on the threshold of the pack's basement.So basically, the pack house's basement is the common party area where all the high ranks can host a party."We are going to enjoy!" Jess hoots as she raises her hands in happiness. "Come on, Jay! Wipe the frown from your face and replace it with a smile!"I groan, not feeling amused at all. I have too much on mind right now to care about this stupid hormonal teenagers party.To begin with, I didn't see Tyler for an entire day yesterday and now today is the night of the Full Moon -the night when he is supposed to mark me, and the last day I can shift.It is already eight at night and he is nowhere to be found. The hopes of me getting mated today are slowly getting crushed and disappointment weighs me down heavily as the negative part of me overpowers every emotion.The dark and negative side of me which feels that nothing will be okay and l be left unmated today is growin
JaylaRomance books and movies have given us a whole other idea. Every time we have a special night with someone, every time we are going on a date, everytime a guy texts us, we expect too much.We expect too much because we read about it in a romance book or watched it in a romance movie, that the male protagonist will always nail every moment.We expect too much because, in our minds, we have standards that have been set too high and we have dreams that are nearly impossible to fulfil. But then, can you blame us? A girl can dream, right?That is probably the reason that when I wake up, I expect to wake up with Tyler by my side. I expect to still be in his arms with my face on his chest. I expect to wake up to him smiling down at me with sunlight falling on his face making his greenish-gold eyes look beautiful and captivating.But you can't always get what you expect, can you? Life isn't all rainbows and sunshine so nothing can be perfect.When I wake up alone in the bed, with the sh
Jayla"I am so proud of how this turned out," Beth says with a proud sigh. "Why don't you let us tell you how we planned this?""Planned being heartless and cold?" I ask, my voice holding no emotions which is contradicting the way I am currently feeling.You know the kind of feeling you get when you know you have been betrayed? The feeling when your stomach is in pains and you feel tremors in your legs. When your heart palpitates and your throat begins to close up. When the entire world seems to have slowed down and you just want to curl up in a corner and cry.That is how l feel. Just about a thousand times much worse than that. But I have a lot more to listen to. There is more to hear. And there is also more to grieve over."Yes, we were heartless, alright. But you were just plain stupid," Tyler says and chuckles followed by a highly unattractive snot by Beth as they both mock me without pity."How could you even think l would like you?" he asks, looking at me from up to down with a
JaylaThere are some moments when you are so numb that tears just refuse to fall anymore. When you just remain there curled up in a ball with no response at all to the world and even people around you. You just don't care about what is happening in the outer world because you are currently in a war with your inner self.I pull my legs to my chest and rest my back on the wall as I sit with my head buried between my knees. My entire body shivers from the aftermath of what happened just this afternoon.Betrayal, treachery, wickedness, is what an English professor would call what happened to me. But what I feel is beyond that. Way more than that.It is like getting to live your dreams for a while. It is like touching the most beautiful and magnificent thing on earth. Like a moment of absolute bliss. But then, everything is taken away, harshly if I may add. And you are thrown into absolute darkness without any support. It is like having all your dreams, all you have ever hoped for get shov
