Chapter 51Hardin's POV"Welcome back captain." The team chorused as I stepped into the changing room and I grinned, finally able to rest and know that I was not under any pressure to keep the position any longer, especially because it involved trying not to show my intense dislike for Lorenzo. As I passed by him on the way to my locker, he smiled and I ignored him. "Congratulations on becoming captain of the team, again. Well deserved." He said in a calm voice that would have been believable from anybody else except him because not up to twenty four hours ago, he was still running against me for this very same position. It baffled me how composed he looked and I wondered why he had even run against me in the first place? Was it to piss me off because he had done an excellent job at it. I couldn't think of any reason why he did and suddenly dropped out. I bet Jasmine would know about why but she didn't look like she did yesterday. Anyways, it didn't matter anymore. I was captain

Chapter 53Still a day earlierHardin's POVIf there was a motto that I lived by that I was sure was one of the reasons why I had made a name for myself in this school, it was the act first, talk later movement.I saw the way everyone else minded their business almost immediately I looked at them with raised eyebrows as I dragged the boy that I had just punched out of the cafeteria. I knew that once I left the cafeteria, there would be a lot of mumblings and speculations about why I had punched him and was now taking him out of the cafeteria to finish the job. And if I was someone who cared about what people said, then maybe it would have bothered me but I didn't.Something at the back of my mind reminded me that this was not an action that I should have carried out, especially because they were yet to even decide if I was to keep my title as captain of the team or give it to that fake prince charming, Lorenzo. And from the looks of it, after this scene, I was sure that he would repor

Chapter 55JasmineA part of me was very skeptical when Hardin had said that he was going into the woods to get herbs for my mother because with the way he and his aunt, Lisa hated us so much, I would have thought that he would be happy with the turn out of events. Lisa had also not been in the house since this morning and I wondered what she would think if she came in and saw that my mother was sick. Hardin's face had been the complete opposite of happy after he walked in and saw my mother. Like he had seen this kind of thing before. And when he confirmed it and I went to ask the pack doctor about it after Hardin left to get the herbs, the doctor had been vague and tight lipped about the issue and it made me wary because who was sick with the exact same illness like my mother that Hardin knew? Could it perhaps have been his mother? And if that were true, were both illnesses connected? If I asked Hardin about it, would he tell me? I didn't realize that I had dozed off on the chair

Chapter 57HardinI was on edge when I woke up today. Scratch that, I was always on edge everyday and there was something that always seemed to trigger it without fail. Sometimes, it was remembering that Camila had fallen sick with an illness that I was sure was a perfect replica of the one my mother had. Other times, it was the pressure to find a mate. This time, however, it was what I was looking at from a distance right now. It was at the lacrosse field, in a secluded part that wasn't easily seen except you were a lacrosse player that wanted to do funny shit without getting caught like receiving head from your girlfriend.I had forgotten the case to my airpods somewhere around here and that was the only reason why now I could see Lorenzo and Jasmine talking. I was too far away from them to hear what they were both saying but the sight alone was enough to piss me off immediately. Jasmine always said and acted like she didn't like Lorenzo so why was she standing there in that cor

Chapter 59HardinYes, I did feel like I was the clown in the life that I had been living. My fears were there, with my suspicions that was growing daily, but I did not want to believe that Lisa would be anyway connected to the death of my mother. She was her twin, and they were always in good terms all the times that she came around while I was little. So what happened now?“I killed your mom, yes, I am saying it out loud. And I regret not killing her earlier, I should have done that when we were still little so that she will be dead and long forgotten.”Lisa’s words kept on replaying in my head, and I had to shut my eyes to stay sane. I only managed to open my eyes when I heard Russo’s voice and I turned towards the door. “Answer me Lisa,” he repeated. “Did you have much luck trying to kill Camila?” His growl was very much domineering this time, and it took all the effort for my wolf to not cower. Lisa was already fidgeting, and in a split of second, Dad was unto her, pressing h
