JaylaThere are some moments when you are so numb that tears just refuse to fall anymore. When you just remain there curled up in a ball with no response at all to the world and even people around you. You just don't care about what is happening in the outer world because you are currently in a war with your inner self.I pull my legs to my chest and rest my back on the wall as I sit with my head buried between my knees. My entire body shivers from the aftermath of what happened just this afternoon.Betrayal, treachery, wickedness, is what an English professor would call what happened to me. But what I feel is beyond that. Way more than that.It is like getting to live your dreams for a while. It is like touching the most beautiful and magnificent thing on earth. Like a moment of absolute bliss. But then, everything is taken away, harshly if I may add. And you are thrown into absolute darkness without any support. It is like having all your dreams, all you have ever hoped for get shov

JaylaHave you ever been hit so hard that the breath is knocked out of you and it makes stars appear in front of your eyes? The type that makes you choke on your own breath and your heart stops beating for a second. The type when you feel like you have lost your legs and you just keep falling and falling without any apparent stop.That is how I feel when something slams on my back, making me fall on my knees. Claws scratch my back and I hiss as I feel the sting of sharp nails digging into my skin.Fight, Jayla. Fight, a voice says in my head and suddenly, a newfound energy surges into my body. It is a type of energy that l have never felt before.It was like it isn't mine. It's like something inside me is supplying me the energy and courage currently flowing through me. Using it, I turn around and punch the wolf in its snout. Luckily, the rogue hadn't expected me to react, so he is caught off guard.I punch him on his eyes and he howls as he stumbles away. The distraction is enough to

JaylaOne by one everyone leaves the meeting hall till I am the only one still standing there.Jessica didn't bother to talk to me again after 'saving' me, which I am not really surprised about. I mean, she made it clear that she wanted space. Tyler too didn't really say anything, but our eyes met once and he smirked at me viciously which made my stomach drop.My heart stops for a second and I hate the feeling. I really hate it. I wish it can just stop. I wish I can reject him, but I can't. Lower ranks can't reject higher ranks. It is a natural law made to protect the high ranks from being treated unfairly.It is so unfair. I wish I am a high rank. I would have rejected him for sure. I don't deserve this. I don't deserve all this at all. But at the same time, I don't allow myself to ponder on that for too long. Because now I have something else on my mind. Yes. There is another person who has me highly intrigued.It is Jasper Obed, the future Alpha. What I knew about him was that he i

JaylaMy back collides with the front of someone I am very familiar with. It is Tyler.I know without any doubt that he is the one. I can never miss his presence. It is as if when he is around, every fiber of my being is aware of his presence. I can't help but react to it. And I hate it. I hate how aware l am when it comes to him. I hate how familiar, effortless and easy it feels like to be close to him. And I hate how my body reacts to him.I hate how l can't reject him too. If I do, I would fall into a terminal illness or worse, I would die. That is how the Moon Goddess made us. If a lower rank rejects a higher rank, their heart stops and most of the time, they die. It is unjust and unfair but this is how it works and nothing will change just because of me.Maybe that is why I am doing this. Because everything seems so unjust that for once I want to be completely selfish and use others to get answers for myself. Even when I feel as if I am being used."Are you sure about it, Tyler?"

JaylaI am woken up by the shrill sound of the departure bell, and I open my eyes to find myself in the same classroom I passed out in. I hold my head in my hand I try to ease the throbbing pain that has spread through my skull, and I massage my temples.I feel exhausted and out of energy. My wolf is missing and it feels like l am no longer complete. Grumbling in annoyance, I stand up and I stagger a bit.I close my eyes, leaning against the wall as I remind myself that I am stronger than this. After some seconds, I get my balance back and walk out of the classroom only to see a sea of students exiting their classes because the school has closed for the day I sneak into the busy crowd and make myself a part of it. It is easier this way. It kind of surprises me how I was knocked out for the better part of the day and no one noticed that I wasn't around. And I am sure none of the teachers that taught in the classes I had today even bothered to find out why I wasn't in attendance.Not a
