Jayla "I...uh..." Shane scratches his neck sheepishly as he tries to form a sentence. "You know.""No, I don't know," I say curtly, narrowing my eyes at him.He always scratches his neck when he has done something wrong. I know him.He bites his lip and looks at me with his big blue eyes. "Please don't be mad at me, Jay, but I kinda broke my promise. I just got so engrossed in training."I sigh and pinch the bridge of my nose, as I remember the last day before he left."What? Today?" I paced around in his room worriedly as he threw clothes from his closet into his suitcase. "What do you mean by you are leaving today?"Shane ignored me and continued packing hurriedly."What about school? You haven't completed senior year yet. It's just a matter of eight months! Complete it, get your diploma and then go. What's the hurry?" I queried.The fact that Shane was talking about leaving right then, scared me and all I could think about was how he would manage. He needed to complete high school

JaylaMy eyes look at Tyler questioningly as I watch his entire expression fall. I give him an expectant look but he looks away. "Which rumor are you talking about?" he asks.I purse my lips and give him a blank stare. "You know which rumor I am talking about." He shakes his head and I sigh. "The rumor that says that you and I slept together last night," I tell him in a slow voice- the type of voice you use to explain something to a kindergartener.His jaw clenches and he narrows his eyes at me. "What is wrong with that rumor anyway?"My eyes widen and I gasp, so shocked that he could say that. "What do you mean by 'what is wrong with that rumor'? Everything is wrong with that rumor!" I say, my temper beginning to flare.He crosses his arms across his chest and replies coolly. "Oh, yeah. I don't see anything wrong in people thinking that I'm in an intimate relationship with my mate."Okay, what the actual hell? Why the hell is he defending that goddamn rumor, and the person who sprea

JaylaI don't realize that I had dozed off until I feel a tingling sensation on my face, waking me up from slumber. It is a soft touch. It's warm too. The one that makes you lean in and pull the person closer to you. I know I am smiling as I lean into the touch, wanting more. The tingling sensation continues as the person strokes my cheeks and neck.I don't even want to open my eyes. I am afraid that it will just be a dream, and when I open my eyes, he won't be there anymore. But I have to open my eyes. I can't close them forever.My eyes flutter open and I gaze intently at the person in front of me. The person the Moon Goddess has destined for me to be with forever. The only one who is supposed to love and cherish me. The one I am supposed to live and die for.Tyler sees that I am awake and he smiles at me. It is such a genuine smile without any trace of arrogance or cockiness. Just a simple, caring smile.But I can't smile because I have too many questions. Too many to be answered.

Jayla"Chase." I whisper the name of my mate's wolf again and again.He howls in approval and starts moving his head against my hand which is presently stroking his fur. I smile, cup his snout with both of my hands and bring his face near mine.Chase is a beautiful wolf. Probably the most beautiful wolf I have ever met in my life. His fur is rich and soft to the touch. He is a pure black wolf. The only of other color he has on his fur is a small patch of brown behind his right ear, which is really adorable. It is like a wolf birthmark. Chase is tall. A bit taller than me even, and absolutely huge. So much that it makes me feel a bit intimidated. I wonder how my wolf would look like. I am sure she would be much smaller because I am in a lower rank than he is.His greenish-gold eyes sparkle in the moonlight and it's hard not to get lost in them. They are so icy. It's like going on a holiday to Korea and skiing in snow. It's refreshing and at the same time, enthralling.It is dark by now

Jayla"We're home!" Jessica calls out as we enter the lobby of the pack house. The door is bewitched by witches. The spells make sure that only the pack members can enter this house. That, or if someone outside the pack tries to, they need the Alpha or Luna's permission."Who's with you, Jessica?" a voice calls from inside the kitchen and in a moment, Luna Sarah walks out with a tray of freshly baked cupcakes in her hands.She is wearing an apron and proudly bears a flour stain on it, which I think is mandatory if you have been baking.She looks up to see me standing next to Jessica and her eyes light up. "Jayla!" she says excitedly and comes to give me a brief hug. I smile and hug her back too.Lunas are depicted to be highly social and sweet. They are the mother of the pack and it is their job and nature to show affection toward the entire pack.Luna Sarah is no different. The only thing is that despite being all of that, she has the ability to be formal when necessary. She can be
