Chapter 11

After my conversation with mom, I go back to my room and let my eyes scan myself up and down in the mirror. I think back to what Nick had said. ‘You’re not nearly pretty enough to have such a bad attitude.’ I look at my nose, that I had always considered to be too wide, my brows, too thick, my eyes, too wide-set. And I just hated how small they were when I smiled. I sigh and look away. As I look at my clothes, I realize I don’t know how I’m supposed to be dressing. I try to think back to what Simon had said to me. Instead of remembering the words he had spoken, I can’t help but picture him in my head: the way his eyes had lit up when they had first met mine, how he hadn’t taken them off of me until he had to leave. The tug in my stomach made itself heard again. I shake my head to get rid of the images and settle for jeans and a tank top under a clean hoodie, that I lay flat on my bed for when I have to get ready. ‘Why do I even care?’ I ask myself. ‘I shouldn

Chapter 12

Unknown POVI stand still under the dozen of gazes scrutinizing my face. I ignore the heat of her gaze as I watch as my brother paces around the room, anger rolling from him in constant waves. I know he is trying to intimidate me with his silence, but I stare him down coldly, avoiding her burning eyes.“What you did was irresponsible and careless. You should be exiled for this offense.’’His tone is harsh and he turns to face me. I feel him trying to impose his will on me, but I stand my ground. Showing weakness now could prove to be fatal. I hear her low chuckle from the back of the room.“Yet I am still here. I proved I was right, and now, we can move forward with our plan.’’ I lift my chin and she stops laughing abruptly.His peculiar eyes shine strangely for a second and he walks up to me, towering over me. I am far from short, but even I feel like a mouse when he&rs

Chapter 13

Sophie’s POVI stare at the GPS on my phone with wide eyes. How did I get so far out from the hotel? With a sigh, I pack up my stuff and start jogging. I would never make it back in time if I walked.Nothing is familiar to me on the way back until I get to where I originally wanted to practice boulder climbing. How did I not take notice to anything past that point?I finally make my way back to the hotel with only 35 minutes to spare. The lady at the desk makes a weird face when I walk in, which I can only assume is because I’m drenched in sweat from head to toe. I try to hide my blush and head straight into the shower.With no time to spare, I clean myself with the cheap hotel soaps, not wanting to waste time looking for mine. As I step out on the cold tile floor, I notice my light brown hair is almost the same color as Simon’s when they are wet.I thank my past self for planning out my outfit ahead of time and slip it on

Chapter 14

“I’m sorry,’’ Simon smirks, “I know this is a lot. I guess I couldn’t help myself.’’“Not at all,’’ I force myself to sound normal rather than ready to ditch any thought of Nick. “It’s really sweet to try and make me feel welcome like this.’’He smiles at me. “I’m hoping you decide you want to stay longer.’’I feel myself blush as he pours me something to drink, his striking eyes almost never leaving my face.“Tell me more about yourself, Sophie. Do you have siblings?’’I feel my heart skip a beat at the sound of his voice saying my name. I let out a nervous giggle as my mind races.“Well, there isn’t much to say... I’m an only child, still living with both my parents, thought I will be moving to a dorm for university. And you?’’“Well, I’m no longer in school,&rs

Chapter 15

As the wolf continues to approach me, I realize I’m almost at the table. The glint of a steak knife catches my eyes.“Stop,’’ I say firmly, standing up straight and taking a step closer to the table.The wolf growls louder, but slows down for a second, just enough time for me to grab the blade from the table and place it towards the animal. The large creature lets out a snarl, his glowing red eyes on the metal of my weapon.I try to think of any survival tip I know. The beast is getting closer and closer, and I’m running out of options... Its left ear shoots to the side at the sound of branches breaking. I turn my head hoping it’s not Simon so he stays safe.Another even larger wolf sprints out of the tree line and throws the first one to the ground. Shocked at how I haven’t died yet, I try to find a way out of the situation. My heart beats so loudly I can hear it.As I’m about to make a run for it, t

Chapter 16

I fight the urge to follow Simon and, smiling like a little girl, I throw myself on the bed. My eyes fall on the alarm clock, and I realise it’s almost 10pm. I take my meds, regretting not having food to avoid feeling sick.I take out my phone, wondering if Alice did in fact post on her Snapchat story. I smile at her getting ready picture in a hotel room. Her long, curly red hair is perfect, as always, and she looks beautiful in her corset style top.The next picture is of her with a guy, probably that ‘friend’ she had made. A little in the background, I see Nick. My heart stops for a second. Who was the girl he was talking to? I can only see her platinum hair from this angle. I’m about to click to the next picture when my phone rings.“Hey, mom.’’ I answer and immediately put her on speaker phone. I open Snapchat back up. “What’s up?’’“Hi, honey! I just wanted to check on you. Are y

Chapter 17

“It matters to me.’’Simon’s deep voice sends shivers down my spine. The image of Nick kissing the blonde girl flashes in my head and I can’t help the tears that start to roll down my cheeks.“What did he do?’’ he says in a rumbling tone, anger reflecting in his golden irises.I glance down at his lips, my throat so tight I don’t feel like I could say anything. Heat spreads through my body from the tug in my stomach when his eyes also meet my lips.“That fucking bastard.’’He uses his thumbs to wipe my tears, but I can’t take my eyes off of his lips. If Nick had traded me for someone else, why should I stop myself? ‘I have been wanting to kiss Simon for days now’, I realise how much I was denying it before.The thought of giving in to my desire starts a fire under my skin. Everything in me screams to lean in closer to him, so much so that my head almost

Chapter 18

I follow Simon into the house, keeping my eyes away from his smirking lips. I can feel him looking at me, probably waiting for me to say something. I keep my mouth shut: how could someone so young have so much... everything?Simon leads me through a large entrance and into a very stylishly designed living room. Just as I’m about to ask him where in this maze was the guest bedroom, I spot a girl on one of the couches.She turns to us as we enter the room and I can’t stop myself from scanning her face: beautiful large green eyes framed by thick curly hair stare back at me. Her full lips turn up into a smile, giving her a friendly look.Still, I can’t help the fury that fills my chest at her sight. What was this beautiful girl doing in Simon’s living room? My throat feels thigh when I realise what I’m actually feeling. Pure jealousy boils my blood as I struggle to put a smile on my face.“You must be Sophie,’’

Chapter 19

The wolf with the glowing red eyes walks out of the woods and continues to approach me. I realize I’m almost at the table. The glint of a steak knife catches my eyes.“Stop,’’ I say firmly, standing up straight and taking a step closer to the table.“Why?’’ The wolf answers back, startling me. “You are nothing to me but a way to get back at your Alpha.’’I freeze for a second, my hand inches away from the blade.“I don’t understand what you’re talking about. I don’t follow any Alpha.’’For some reason, my voice seems off-tone, as if I am no longer the one speaking. The wolf growls an

Chapter 20

I sit down on the soft blanket and look up to Simon. His golden eyes don’t leave mine as he reaches out and takes my hand. Heat spreads under my skin as he pulls me against him. Still, the fact that he disappeared for the whole night without telling me where he went made me realize I know nothing about him.“Simon, what do you actually do in Moonstone Falls?’’“I already told you,’’ he says sternly. “I’m the leader of the town.’’I feel him stiffen up against my back. Why is he being so vague? Is he lying to me?“Okay,’’ I force myself to laugh. “So what does one do as a ‘leader’?’’“Mostly politics, really,’’ he tells me, and somehow, he sounds honest. “You know, meetings and stuff.’’His last words are back to a stiff tone. A soft worry starts to tighten my throat. I know nothing about Simon.
