JaylaTyler's face is in a smolder as he speaks. "Where were you?" he asks again when I don't answer, with his arms crossed over his chest and a frown set on his face.I sigh and rub my face in tiredness. "Listen, Tyler, I am not in the mood for any of this right now. I just want to sleep. We will talk about this tomorrow."I walk to my bed, but instead of leaving, he grabs my arm and pulls me to him. His hold on me is strong and firm but not painful. It is too demanding and possessive and I don't like it at all. I need to rest and take my mind off certain things at the moment."Let me go!" I say, as I wriggle and I push his arm away, trying to get his hold off me, but his grip only tightens more and more.Turning me around, we are now facing each other chest to chest as he holds both of my arms and pulls me up to face him."It won't take long to answer me, Jayla. I asked you a simple question," he says in a very domineering tone. "Where were you?"His eyes are flashing from green to b

Jayla"Since he bought you food, he's really a keeper," Jessica says, wiggling her eyebrows. She is referring to the fact that Tyler and I picked up pizza on our way back to pack house."Yeah, whatever. What we just did was pick up pizza," I say, trying to play it cool."Hey!" She cries. "Pizza is the best! Jessica adds, sticking up for pizza and I can't disagree with her even if I try.I nod as I pop a popcorn in my mouth and continued with my homework. Jessica and I have been in my room after Tyler and I got back to the pack house and we are trying to get done with tons of homework our teachers piled on us."Oh, yeah. You are doing chemistry for me and I will do your English essay for you," Jessica says, looking at me with cute puppy eyes and I shake my head vehemently."No, Jess . You can't keep bailing out," I say. "You need to learn this, otherwise how will you pass?"Jess groans. "I will find a way, Jay. But right now, in this very moment, I don't want to think about chemistry."

Jayla"What do you mean by there has been another large-scale rogue attack?" My voice doesn't do anything to conceal the amount of shock I am presently in.I thought that the rogues have been reduced to an insignificant number by now. But this is the fourth attack by rogues in the last week that our pack has suffered. And they are obviously not a small group of rogues. It is an entire army. They are so many and clearly, they are trained.Training requires money and sponsors which gives us a hint that someone is funding these rogues because otherwise, rogues are generally jobless and without money. This is simply because of the fact that Alphas don't give them permission to stay in their territories for jobs and neutral lands are too risky and also, jobs are scarce there.So they need to live on stolen food and they also need to run from pack to pack to get food and do odd jobs from time to time. All in all, their life is pretty pathetic. So the thing is that they never get to train th

Jayla"That is it?" l ask him in complete shock.He nods and gives me a cheeky grin."It wasn't even that difficult!" I exclaim, my lips stretching into a wide grin."I told you," he says, laughing happily as l tackle him into a bear hug."Thank you, Tyler. Thank you. Thank you so much!" I gush as I release him and close my books.My homework is finally complete, all thanks to him and I can now submit it tomorrow at school without worrying about getting an F. I gather all my books and keep them on the study table, then I go back to the bed, climb on it and rest my head on the headboard."That is it?" Tyler says, repeating my words from earlier and I look at him in confusion."What?" I ask, hoping the confusion I feel is visible on my face."Won't I get a gift?" he asks as he smiles at me cheekily.Laughing, I understand what he means right away and I lean forward to kiss his cheek but he moves his head in the last moment so that my lips meets his in a kiss.He doesn't still move away

JaylaRomance books and movies have given us a whole other idea. Every time we have a special night with someone, every time we are going on a date, everytime a guy texts us, we expect too much.We expect too much because we read about it in a romance book or watched it in a romance movie, that the male protagonist will always nail every moment.We expect too much because, in our minds, we have standards that have been set too high and we have dreams that are nearly impossible to fulfil. But then, can you blame us? A girl can dream, right?That is probably the reason that when I wake up, I expect to wake up with Tyler by my side. I expect to still be in his arms with my face on his chest. I expect to wake up to him smiling down at me with sunlight falling on his face making his greenish-gold eyes look beautiful and captivating.But you can't always get what you expect, can you? Life isn't all rainbows and sunshine so nothing can be perfect.When I wake up alone in the bed, with the sh
