Olivia POV   After the battle, we were instructed to cut the trip short and return home. Mandy and James surprised everyone when they announced to everyone that they’re mates, so now everyone was preparing for a celebration in honor of our future flock Alpha and Luna. I was happy for them but also envious because they had it easier than both Lizzy and I. Why we were destined to other shifters, who weren’t even Sirens, was beyond my knowledge. Lizzy recovered from her injuries well, and when she woke up, she had a talk with Logan in private, but I didn’t know what they said.  School was back in session, and part of me was happy about it since the Opal pack enrolled in our school and we got to see all of our friends again.  I w

Olivia POV   This was bad… so bad.   I couldn’t stop repeating the sentence in my head, hearing the voices cheer as they prepared to start counting to five. What was I supposed to do? Oh dear Goddess, please help me get out of this mess. “Should we start from five and count downwards or count from one to five?” I heard someone ask and I groaned silently, thinking to myself that it doesn’t matter where they start the countdown as the results are the same, and that is not a good situation for a little fish like me. I tried to figure out a way to get out of this situation quickly, and then I heard the worst first number that made me freeze. “Let’s start at five and count downwards. Ready guys?” the same guy said, and I cursed at myself, and Mandy and Damon for that matter for putting me in

“O, my Goddess! I can’t believe you agreed.” Mandy said raising her arms up in the air in disbelief as she was walking back and forth inside my room.I rolled my eyes at her, “What was I supposed to say? And I said ‘friendly’ not couples like a date so spare me your nagging Mandy.”Looking inside my closet, I tried to find the dress I had in my mind to wear for tonight.Yes, it was Saturday; the week flew by so fast I barely managed to blink with all my studies and assignments I had to do.“What got you to say yes after two years, Ollie?” Mandy stopped walking and looked at me with her eyes narrowed.

Marcus POV I’ve stood there frozen to my place, just looking at her, not believing with my eyes that after so much time I am here, seeing her again.Yes, I know it was no one else’s fault but my own for pushing her away, and I tried to move on, not to mention that Shadow was giving me a hell of a time since the moment those words left my mouth.I took a better look at her beautiful face; she was more beautiful than I remember, all grown up but captivating.Looking over at her, taking her in, I noticed she is doing the same. And it made Shadow rise up his head and wave his tail. But then he started growling inside my head, and I felt him pushing at the barrier to take over the control and that’s when I realized why.

Everything around me was like in a rush. I was sitting down at my vanity, while Mandy was doing my hair, while Annie was doing Lizzy her makeup.We were getting ready for our girl’s night out, all of us already dressed up and doing the finishing touches.I couldn’t get my mind off from that kiss. But worst was that fear that gripped onto my heart, knowing he wants to talk with me.I didn’t know what it would be about, but my suspicion was that it is about his upcoming Alpha ceremony and our still unbroken bond we share.“It will be alright Ollie.” I heard Aurora’s voice in my head that spoke with clear confidence, but I still couldn’t shake away the fear of rejection.“How could
