Anila POV My entire body stilled. Months? “And we don’t have an official class for that here. Most students came here fully prepared, with enough basic guidance from parents for the shift,” Professor Howl continued to explain, shaking his head, before turning his gaze to Xaden. “You know your responsibility now, don’t you?” “Of course,” Xaden stated without hesitation, “I’ll get her prepared, and teach her well.” His forest-filled eyes found mine, and I felt the anxious fluttering in my chest start to settle, “She is in good hands.” Before any more words were exchanged, Xaden’s hands squeezed my hand gently as he pulled me from the room. We descended the steps in silence, returning to the long, familiar hallway that seemed to run throughout the entire school. “So, can all shifters use magic?” I asked, curious about Professor Howl's words. I wondered how much magic I would have learned if my mom was still alive. “Not really. Bear shifters and werewolves have magical abil

Harley POV Anila Montgomery. I had been waiting for my mate since I first shifted at 19 years old. I thought that once I got my mate, I would be happy and that would be it. But I wasn’t anticipating my mate to have two other mates. One of which is my best fucking friend. As soon as Xaden claimed Anila, that was it for me. I was out, completely. I couldn’t stab my best friend in the back. It wasn’t in my nature. Zach, on the other hand, had no issue doing just that. I stared at the scene before me with disgust. Anila was pressed against the wall with Zach inches from her lips. Her eyes were closed, and she looked content being between him and the wall. She looked as if she wanted to kiss him just as badly as he wanted to kiss her. The philandering smirk on the werewolf's face made me want to crack his skull because he smiled at me like I was missing out on something. Despite backing off, I couldn’t help that insistent and annoying tugging in my chest, a voice that const

Anila POV The growling of my stomach stopped my words from escaping my lips. My cheeks flushed right away, and I held onto my stomach, attempting to silence it. “Sorry,” I murmured, embarrassed by the intrusive sound. Penny stood to her feet, laughing. “For what? Being hungry?” She asked, glancing at her phone. “Dinner will be served soon. Let’s go to the dining hall, and we can continue this conversation after” she said, motioning for us to follow her. I was grateful for the momentary distraction and subject change. I hadn’t even realized an hour had passed since I was trapped in the elevator with Zach. The memory caused my body to become incredibly hot. I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat and stood with everyone else. Penny draped an arm through mine. “We are in this together, Anila,” she assured me. “Stick with us and you’ll never be alone.” I smiled, it was a nice thought having a group of girls that I could depend on and even consider my friends. I ne

Anila POV I probably should have turned away. Maybe try to find a different bathroom; not that I would even know where to start looking. But something was keeping me grounded and when I peered around the corner and saw Damien’s distraught face, I knew I wasn’t going to be able to go anywhere. My chest tightened even more. I was finally able to get a better look at Damien. I saw him when I first arrived after I found his wand, but with everything that had gone on, I wasn’t able to actually look at him. His hair was a deep shade of brown, like the riches of the earth. It lay in soft waves around his features. His eyes were a darker shade of gray than mine, and hard to read. Especially through his thick-framed glasses. I had to admit to myself that he was good-looking in a nerdy kind of way. Though, despite him appearing a bit nerdy, his body revealed that he was no stranger to the gym. He was tall, but his arms were nicely built and the white collared shirt he wore fi

Anila POV I have never before seen someone’s face change so red as they do in the cartoons, but that’s exactly what Sarah’s face did. And with the round shape of her head, she looked painfully like a tomato. She opened her mouth, readying an argument before Xaden held up his hand, cutting her off. “What are you going to say? That it isn’t true?” He shook his head, the calm features I was so used to seeing were nowhere in sight. “You approached so many men. Jaxon, Heath, Paul. Even Harley, and Myself.” My eyebrows raised at the list. “Wow, impressive,” I commented, but it only made Sarah start to tremble. “We are just classmates… friends. Nothing more!” She barked, but Xaden gave a boisterous laugh. “Only after you got rejected and turned down by every single one of us. ‘Just friends,’ she says. You know what is the most ridiculous? That you have this poor man believing the bullshit spewing out of your mouth.” Xaden’s tone turned angry as he gestured to Damien, who remaine
