#Chapter22So you wanna play with magicBoy, you should know what you're falling forBaby do you dare to do this?Cause I'm coming at you like a dark horseAre you ready for, ready forA perfect storm, perfect stormCause once you'r mine, once you're mine"I was singing a song I constantly heard on my Pandora app, 'Dark horse' by Katy Perry, and I had to admit, I have grown to like it. I was going through the closet and my bags for something to wear tonight for my outing with Carl.Can I say it was not a date?Keisha and Kiera walked in. They flopped down on the edge of my bed."What are you doing?" Keisha watched me pick through the many pieces of clothing."Well, I'm trying to find something to wear for tonight for my outing. Is this cute?" I asked, holding up a cute blouse with a knee length pencil skirt."Aniyah, I still think you shouldn't be going on this date." Kiera stated."Date?" Keisha seemed lost."Look ladies, it’s not a date. It’s just t

#Chapter24KEIRA__"Will you please sit down?" AJ pleaded.I was pacing back and forth in the living room as AJ, Keisha and Aaron sat on the couch as if nothing was wrong."No!" I snapped. I ran my fingers through my hair. "Sorry."Aaron stood up and pulled me into his warm chest, comforting me."It’s okay honey, Aniyah will forgive you." How could he be so sure? What if she does not it? Where are they?“I knew I should have talked her out of it." I admitted. This felt partly to blame. The front door burst open. We shot to our feet as we watched on. Jason walked past us. Dangling from his shoulder like a wild rag doll was Aniyah.Tugging and ripping at his shirt, I could see that her hits were not affecting him. He carried her up the stairs, down the wide halls and into his bedroom. There was a moment of silence before the door slammed shut and Jason came running down the stairs.I wanted to say something, question him, but would I make it worse?The

#Chapter26I felt so comfortable, wrapped up in a warm blue blanket. The smell of pine and fresh cotton filled my noise. I inhale deeply, enjoying how relaxing it smelled.I inched open my eyes. The sun was beaming through a glass window. I was enjoying the little rays of sun beaming on my face, it felt so calming.Then reality hit me like a ton of bricks.Last Night!Everything came back to me. The freaky waiter with the red eyes, the wolf-like-beast that attacked then turned in to....Jason?I sat up from the bed. Looking around the room, I noticed that I was back in Jason's room. It was dream. I know it was a dream. Please tell me it was dream.The doorknob jiggled. Shaken in fear, I scurried to the top of the bed as the door slowly creaked open.He peeked in. I gulped.Could he smell fear? I mean, can’t dogs smell fear or something? He took a seat at the end of the bed. I brought my knees to my chest. What do I say? What do I do? I decided to a

#Chapter28The ride to school was quiet, besides the radio playing. Normally, we found random things to talk about during the ride but for the first time, I had nothing to say. I guess my mom understood because she gave me the space I needed. "Okay, I will see you later." My mom said as we pulled up in front of the building."Okay, see ya." I stepped out of the car, focusing on the one place I did not want to be today, school.I walked into the building, trying to avoid any eye contact with anyone. Some people seemed to walk right pass me, going about their day. But some seemed like they were staring at me but I just think it’s all in my head.I headed toward my locker, dreading the idea of confronting Kiera and Keisha who might be waiting for me there. "Oh." I whispered to myself. Keira and Keisha were nowhere in sight, and it was weird because they were always here. I blew out a sigh a relief which soon turned to minor disappointment.I opened my locker and pul

#Chapter30KEIRA__Things were very unsettling within our tribe. We were uncertain without the strength off our Alpha, who revealed to us how strained he was without the presence of his mate. Our future Luna. Keisha and I agreed to return to school. Even though we were not sure how Aniyah felt about the entire ordeal, we still made sure to keep our presence known to her. Friday morning, Keisha and I stood by Aniyah's locker, waiting for her to get to school like we usually did."So, how are you feeling?" I asked Aniyah as she walked up to us."Never better." She lied. I was certain she felt the same as not only our pack, but brother as well. "Good." I said. She turned around to smile but I could see the struggle behind it.***********************Once our first few classes were out of the way, it was lunch time. Keisha and I made it to lunch before Aniyah did so we could get a good booth. Away from everyone else.The smell of Aniyah filled my nose, al
