CHAPTER I

Lyka I hate being late for classes. Honestly, I am always an early bird. The kind of student who never shows up late. However, there’s always that one day. The day when getting out of bed feels impossible despite the alarm blaring endlessly. I guess today is that day for me. I glance down at my watch and the realization hits. I am going to be completely late. And not just for any class Calculus. Who in their right mind is late for this class? Me. Apparently. Mr. Harry, the Calculus lecturer is attractive. There, I said it. It’s probably inappropriate to describe my twenty-nine-year-old professor that way, but I would be lying if I said other students don’t say worse. He has piercing steel-gray eyes, dark brown hair, an almost angelic smile, and broad shoulders. Sometimes I am convinced he doesn’t belong in the real world. Honestly, I’m sure most girls are putting themselves through Calculus torture just for him. There’s one admirable and extremely annoying—thing about him t

CHAPTER II

“You do realize everyone on campus is talking about you, right?” Sam shoots me a look. Thankfully, she lent me a pair of emergency sneakers from her locker. They’re a massive upgrade from the Mickey Mouse slippers, at the very least. As we walk into the cafeteria, I can feel the stares before I even see them. “Wow, Great day to be a celebrity.” I mutter under my breath. “People are just being assholes as usual. Ignore them.” Sam says, nudging me as we slide into our usual table. I sigh, dropping my bag. Ignoring people sounds easy in theory. In reality? Not so much. “Anyway, tell me about Mr. Hot Pants.” Sam leans forward, eyes gleaming with mischief. I groan immediately. Sam coined that nickname months ago, despite my very vocal objections. Mr. Harry does not need a nickname like that especially not one that somehow stuck. Unfortunately, Sam has never been one to listen when something amuses her. And apparently, my very obvious crush amuses her a lot. Still, I tell her ever

CHAPTER III

"Really? I am not putting that thing on." I scowl at an excuse of a dress Sam is dangling before me. "I am afraid that is not your decision for tonight." Sam ignores my protest bringing me in front of the mirror with the dress to my front. "Perfect. We don't have much time left. I don't want to miss out on the good things so you better have the dress on before I return." I sigh staring at the dress down on the bed. Sam never takes no for an answer. I have no energy to fight her on this. Skimpy and tight outfits are not really my thing but one night couldn't hurt. I am sure Julian is going to be there parading Zoe. This may be the perfect outfit for the night. The vision for the dress code tonight is cat woman and Samantha, a succubus. I really might not like my outfit that much but it's rocking. Once we pull over in Teddy Waters' compound, social anxiety kicks in. Did I mention that I hate parties? I really hate college parties and nothing could change my opinion. Outside my wind

CHAPTER IV

I pry my eyes open, wincing as harsh light floods my vision. Damn it. Why didn’t I close the curtains? A sharp throb pulses through my head, each beat louder than the last. It feels like my skull might split open at any second. It has to be the cheap alcohol. And with Julian showing up at the party with Zoe, I am pretty sure I lost control somewhere along the way. Wait… I freeze. I don’t remember how I got home. My eyes snap open fully despite the pain. How much did I drink? I push myself up slowly, blinking against the brightness and then I notice it. White walls, grey linen curtains, a polished white marble floor. This is not my room. The headache vanishes instantly, replaced by a sharp spike of panic. I throw the covers off and stumble to my feet, heart racing. This place is luxurious. It is not just comfortable, it's excessive and that’s saying something, considering Mom and I are already well-off from the money Dad left behind. “Okay. This has to be a dream.” I whisper

CHAPTER V

The people in the room are nothing like cops like I had imagined. In fact, it is just mom, Mr. Harry and two other people in the room. It is really a relief to know it is not the police but the stare and tension emanating from them does nothing to calm me. I might as well crawl inside my skin. "Great to join us Lyka." Mr. Harry addresses breaking the silence. "We are all here Gabriel. Get on with it already." The light brown haired man demands impatiently. The wrinkles around his eyes give him an approximate of forty years. Gabriel. First it was mom and now this man. Is Gabriel, Mr. Harry's middle name? I stare at Mr. Harry with confusion. What the hell is going on? "Patience Marco." Mr. Harry replies in an authoritative firm voice. "Time is what we don't have if you didn't realise." Marco scowls. The blonde woman on his sides touches his thigh softly like to calm him down. "Can we get this started?" The woman says gazing at me. Mr Harry nods before he clears his throat. I loo

CHAPTER VI

I don't know how many hours I lay unconscious but when I wake up, I am back in the room I first woke up in. Werewolf. The word keeps going off in my brain like a mantra. I gulp down the water in the glass I get from my bedside before I sigh. My whole life has been full of lies. Why did the person I love have to lie to me for all these years? When the door clicks open, I pull the covers higher against my body. The person I once knew as my mom enters. "I am glad you are awake." she says coolly. I snarl.She doesn't show up here like we are cool. We are far from cool. "I bet you are." I reply coldly. "That's no way to speak to me Lyka. I might not have given birth to you but I am still your mother." she scolds. "Says the woman who has been lying to me for freaking twenty one years." I snarl. "Lyka." she warns. "Should I call you mom or Olivia? I think Olivia.." "Watch what you say to me Lyka." she threatens with a glare. "Stop with the act, will you Olivia? When were you p

I followed him through the hallway to the west wing."Wait," I called and he stopped.He turned around poised his eyes meeting with mine. "What should I call you? Mr. Harry or Gabriel?" I asked consciously."Gabriel, that's my name." he replied in a monotonous voice.I walked closer to him stopping a few inches from him."Why didn't you tell me earlier? You do realize it would have made things easier?" "It wasn't my place to tell, I did what I had to do and that was to protect you." his calm baritone v

Thank you guys for the support. It means a lot to me in my works. Keep it going guys. Keep the fire burning Please follow, vote and comment.. Lyka's P.O.V The next morning, Sebastian and I were playing chess. This time I was beating him badly because what he didn't know was that I was a fast learner. I heard someone clear their voice and I wasn't surprised to see my mom standing calmly hands on her hips. "Miss Olivia, good to see you." Sebastian acknowledged."How you doing Sebastian?""Cool, I will excuse myself now." he stood up before I had a chance to stop him.When he was gone, mom joined me.

CHAPTER IX

Lyka's P.O.V It has been two weeks since I started training with Sebastian. After my encounter with Gabriel, I asked Sebastian a favor to teach me how to fight since he was great at it. We worked tirelessly in the gym which was situated in the west wing every single day. Each day came with a hectic task and by now, I am great since I am a fast learner. Sebastian has been teaching me the basics and now the real tactics. It hasn't been easy with a lot of muscle pulls and hard falls but I need all I can get. I have a point to prove. "You've gotten stronger than before." Sebastian remarked passing me a bottle of water."That's because I have a great teacher." I smiled at him.Sebastian was really good and strong. Most of the time

I am not usually a morning person and this waking up early is really sickening me. Who the hell wakes up at four thirty to prepare for training by five. Either Gabriel is making my life hard so I can back out but not now and not ever. I am not planning on quitting or my laziness is at its peak. Groaning frustrated, I kick away the duvet stretching lazily. I stand up a little drowsy making my way to the bathroom. I wash my face
