Lola’s pov,
Lola slammed the door of her foster parent’s house and walked into the street. They could never just leave her alone. She had only been with them for 3 months and they thought they could tell her what to do. They thought bible study would be an effective way for her to get in line. Lola knew that they would give up on her eventually anyway, they always did. Luckily, it was not much longer now because in a week she would finally turn twenty-one. Which meant she could finally decide for herself what she wanted to do.
Not that she knew what she was going to do. She had no education or skills because she always had a problem with following rules. For as long as she could remember she tried to fight regimes. At least she was talented at bringing out the worst in people. She drove many workers at the orphanage, foster families, and teachers nuts. But whatever happened at least she would be free. She would rather be homeless than live by other people’s rules. Besides, she could always crash with one of her old hookups. She kept walking until she reached the park which was completely abandoned at this hour. She sat down on a bench and closed her eyes for a second to enjoy the quiet and fresh air.
When she opened them again, she jumped up because a man was suddenly sitting next to her. Which was strange because she had not heard him at all. The man took off his hat and looked at her, “Good evening, Lola.”
“How do you know my name?”
He smiled at her, “We have been studying you for a while to see if you would be the right fit.”
A chill went through her spine when he said they had been studying her, “The right fit for what?”
“For a social experiment with a reward of 1 million dollars for participants.”
He handed her a card with an address, “If you are interested come to this address in a week on your birthday.”
Lola looked at the card and wanted to ask him what kind of experiment but when she looked up the man was gone. She looked left and right but there was no trace of the man. “Mm strange,” she thought.
She stuck the card in her pocket and decided to walk home. There was no way she was going to go there next week. “We have been watching you?” Hell nah, that was just way too creepy.”
The rest of the week Lola tried to focus on her plans for after her birthday but for some reason, she couldn’t get the million dollars reward out of her head. If she did that experiment, she would never have to worry again. She could be free and live her life the way she wanted to. She googled the address and that led her to a science building about an hour away. “It seems that he was not lying about it being a social experiment. Oh, what the hell I should just go. I can at least listen to what the experiment is about and if I don’t like it I will just leave.”
A week later Lola stepped out of the bus in front of the science building. The doors were locked but at the entrance hung a camera. After a few minutes, the doors automatically opened for her. She walked into some kind of waiting room where 3 other people were already waiting. A tall guy with blond hair and the most symmetrical face she had ever seen. A woman with chocolate-colored skin and fascinating enough bright blue eyes. And a man with dark hair and dark eyes. The blonde guy smiled at her, while the woman seemed shy and looked away quickly.
The man with dark eyes gave her a charming smolder and walked towards her. “They said we were waiting for one more person, but I have to say you are definitely worth waiting for.”
His eyes went over her body with approval, and he kissed her hand, “My name is Dante. Nice to meet you.”
Lola looked at him amused; he was her usual type. Charming, mysterious, and full of red flags. “I am Lola.”
The blond man also stood up and shook her hand, “I am Elias. Don’t be too impressed by Dante he used the same flirting technique on me.”
Lola laughed and Elias pointed at the other woman, “This is Idalia.”
“Hi,” she said with a shy smile.
Lola sat down and looked at the others, “So anyone know a bit more about this experiment?”
Dante shook his head, “Nope just here for the million-dollar reward. Don’t really care about the experiment.”
Elias looked at the door, “I just hope they don’t let us wait much longer because I want to go celebrate my birthday.”
Lola stared at him, “It is also my birthday.”
“Mine too!“ Dante and Idalia said at the same time.
They all stared at each other because that did not seem like it was a coincidence. No one said anything until an attractive woman in a tight suit walked in. She had beautiful long red hair and full lips. The suit showed off her curvy body and Lola saw both men staring at her with desire. The woman smiled and said, “Hi everyone, my name is Feline. We are ready for you now so if you would please follow me?”
She walked towards one of the doors her hips swaying with every step. Lola quickly walked after her and the rest followed. They went into a room with some chairs and a beamer. They all sat down, and Feline turned off the lights and put the beamer on. On the screen, Lola saw images of wolves, blood, trees, and a witch symbol of a star. She really started to wonder what kind of weird experiment this was going to be.
Feline scraped her throat, “So I am guessing you are all wondering what this experiment is all about. For you to understand I have to tell you some history first. Thousands of years ago humans were not the only species that lived on earth. There were also werewolves, vampires, fae, and witches. These creatures believed themselves to be superior to the human race and wanted to enslave them. Humans learned of their plans and war broke out. Thanks to science the human race was able to survive while the other species went extinct.”
Dante interrupted her, “Sorry but what is this? You want us to know the history of a potential fairytale story or something?”
Feline looked at him dead serious, “No this happened in real life, Dante. Those creatures existed.”
“Why have I never heard of it then if you say it’s only been a few thousand years ago?” Lola asked.
“Because the generation that survived decided it would be better if humankind forgot they ever existed. Humans have always been attracted to any kind of superiority or magic, so it is better if we do not know there is something greater possible than ourselves.”
Lola looked at Dante and she saw in his eyes that he shared the same thoughts as her. That woman belonged in a psychiatric hospital because she was clearly delusional.
Elias put his hand on Lola her shoulder, “Just let her continue. Can’t be any harm in that.”
Feline gave him a grateful look, “Thank you, Elias. I know it all sounds crazy. Anyway, recently there have been a lot of incidents that make us suspect that those species still exist somewhere. What we need from you is to find out if they do. You will look for them for a year and whether you find them or not after that year each of you will receive a million dollars.”
“And how exactly should four people find those magical creatures? You seem to have a lot of money and science at your disposal why do you need us?” Lola asked.
Feline smiled at her again, but Lola saw she saw also balling her fists so that smile was not sincere, “Good question Lola. All four of you have been carefully selected because of your DNA. After the war, we made sure to collect DNA from the creatures we just talked about. Each of you is a perfect match with one of the species. We will insert this DNA into you so that it will be easier for you to find these creatures if they exist.”
Feline walked to the door and opened it, “I will give you some time to think. I will be back in 10 minutes and then I expect an answer.”
She closed the door behind her, and Lola looked at the other 3 in shock.
Lola’s pov,“You guys can’t really believe this bullshit?” Dante asked the rest.Idalia looked at the screen dreamy, “I don’t know I always hoped that magic existed.”Elias replied, “I don’t know or I believe it, but I am always in for an adventure, especially one where I get to travel and get a million dollars as a reward.”“I do not believe it but what if it is true? Don’t you all think they are being a bit secretive? Like those incidents that indicate that these species still exist. What kind of incidents? Besides that, what happens when you get inserted with the DNA? Will you actually become a vampire or whatever?” Lola blurted out.Elias stared at her, “You really don’t trust people, do you?”Dante gave him a warning look, “She is just being smart. It is good to ask questions. Just ask them when she comes back, Lola. As for me, I do not believe it for one bit so I will say yes because sounds like an easy way to earn a million dollars. Just look for something that doesn’t exist an
Lola’s pov,“So apparently you know who I am. How come I do not know who you are? Where do you come from?”Lola her mind was racing she had no idea how to answer that. It was probably best to stay as close to the truth as possible.“My name is Lola; I am an orphan. Grew up in Minnesota, I have had multiple foster families over the years, but I never felt like I belonged. I turned 21 recently which meant I was finally allowed to decide for myself what I wanted to do. So, I decided I wanted to travel. I always loved nature so I thought it would be cool to visit the Tongass forest. It was cool until I got lost and ended up being chased and bitten by a maniac.”Noah’s eyes narrowed, “Wait you did not know werewolves existed?”“No, I thought they were just tales from stories.”He gazed into her eyes deeply like he was looking for something for a few minutes, “You are a werewolf yourself though. I can sense your wolf, but it is buried somehow. You have not transformed yet then?”Lola shook
Lola’s pov,“No, I do not accept,” Lola said.She might have to stay here for a while to get her million dollars but that did not mean she had to become some guy’s property. Certainly not to become a breeding machine like this crazy bird lady just said.“I have no interest in becoming someone’s breeding whore. I am sure this comes as a shock to you because you all seem to be so deep in Noah his ass that you can smell the shit. So please find some other girl to suck on his toes and be his breeding machine because it is not me.”Lola saw everyone stare at her with shocked faces and the crazy bird lady gave her a distasteful look, “Watch your tongue young lady. Firstly, it is Alpha Grey for you and not Noah. Secondly, you should be on the floor with gratitude because you were blessed with such an outstanding match.”“Yeah, yeah on my knees on the floor and suck his dick while I am at it right?”The crazy bird lady became red with anger, but Noah stepped in between them and said loudly, “
Noah his pov,Noah was wide awake staring at the ceiling. “I am not that desperate,” he said to Lola. Well, fuck he was that desperate. All he wanted to do was run to her room, take her in his arms and kiss her. The image of her walking around in his shirt burned in his mind. He turned and twisted for hours before exhaustion finally caught up with him.The next morning, he took a shower and draped a towel over his hips when he was done. He walked out of the bathroom and bumped into Lola. He had to wrap his arms around her to make sure she wouldn’t fall. She was pressed against his bare chest which was still burning hot from the shower. She quickly pushed him away with red cheeks and said, “Watch where you are going.”He noticed she was still wearing his shirt, “Sorry Lola. I see you became rather attached to my shirt.”She looked down and her face became even redder, “It was just comfortable to sleep in, okay?”She pulled the shirt over her head and threw it at him. She was now standi
Lola’s pov,Lola was still fuming with anger after Noah left. If there was anything she hated, then it was picking on the weak. That boy did absolutely nothing wrong. Who cares that he ran past Dan? She really did not understand these werewolves at all. She also had no idea what to make of Noah. One moment he seemed witty and nice and the other moment he acted like some alpha male that had to act mean to make up for his tiny dick.One thing she did love was seeing everyone transform into their wolf form. They all looked careless and free; she couldn’t wait to transform herself. Luckily Noah had arranged for her to go to some transformation class tomorrow. Which was also good because it meant less time with Deborah who was boring her to death. Today she made Lola do some kind of roleplay where Deborah played the alpha and Lola had to give respectful responses. She had felt like she ended up in some goody-two-shoes girl novel by Jane Austen. Soon she would be able to star in the next se
Lola’s pov,As she stared into Noah his eyes, she was suddenly very aware of her hand touching his bare chest. She could feel the warmth radiating from his naked torso and her cheeks flushed when she imagined her hands going over his abdominal muscles. She could hardly breathe when his intense gray eyes fixated on hers. Her heart was beating fast, and it felt like a fire was being lit between her thighs. His face became closer, and she closed her eyes waiting for his lips to touch hers, but she just felt a brush of air as Noah leaped over her and went out of bed.She watched him leave the room with a shocked expression on her face before putting the blanket over her face from shame. She felt so embarrassed! She had been laying there with closed eyes and the Niagara Falls between her thighs thinking he would kiss her, but he just left without saying a word. Did she completely misread the situation or was he just fucking with her? She growled angrily and thought, “Well it is his loss. H
Lola’s pov,As soon as the others left the room Noah turned to her and raged, “WHY DO YOU KEEP UNDERMINING ME? WHY CAN’T YOU JUST LISTEN AND SHOW RESPECT INSTEAD OF GOING AGAINST ME ON EVERYTHING AND PUSHING MY BUTTONS.”Lola balled her fists, “Respect has to be earned! I am never going to turn into the submissive cunt you want me to be, okay? I will always speak up if I think something is unfair.”Noah sighed, “I don’t want you to be submissive. I like that you have a mind of your own but there is a time and a place for that.”She narrowed her eyes, “I just don’t understand why you would choose someone like Dan as your beta. He is cruel and an idiot.”Noah bit his lip in frustration, “You have been here a few days and you already think you know better than me? Don’t play stupid. I know Deborah made you look at the pack history, so you know Dan is the son of the alpha from the Silver Snake pack. Which is the second largest pack.”“So what? You just going to bend to everyone else their
Lola’s pov,Lola sneaked out of the house and found Fenna waiting for her with a torch. They went deep into the forest and after 30 minutes of walking, they came to a small open space. The trees were planted in a circle and in the middle, a big bonfire was lit. There was a speaker softly playing some Celtic music and there were about 20 people sitting around the fire drinking. Lola did not recognize anyone except Tristan.Fenna handed her a beer and Lola sat down between her and Tristan. She just wanted to relax when everyone closed their eyes and took each other’s hands. Tristan started singing in some kind of language she did not understand. She looked around confused wondering what the hell was going on. Were the people she thought to be normal also secret nutjobs?Fenna gave her a reassuring smile and Lola asked, “This is not a normal party, is it?”Fenna looked a bit guilty when she answered, “No sorry Lola. I needed an
