All Chapters of Marked for Neither: Chapter 1 - Chapter 7

In three days, I could finally leave.I picked up my phone and saw that Sabrina had shared another photo. Joshua was busy caring for her, and the tenderness in his eyes was the same way he used to look at me.Tears blurred my vision.My father had been the old Alpha's driver. He had given his life to save the old Alpha. After he died, Joshua and Charlie's families had taken me in, and I had grown up alongside them.Joshua once held my hand tightly, his gaze unwavering as he said, "Nicole, I'll make you the happiest Luna. I will protect you with everything I have for the rest of your life."Charlie would always ruffle my hair with a smile, sharing the best things he had with me. "Nicole, you're my favorite little sister. I'll always take care of you."But everything changed the moment Sabrina appeared.She had a way of using her orphan status to draw sympathy and attention from everyone.

You'll need to apply medication continuously, and you can't let the wound get wet. You must be careful, or it will scar."Under the healer's careful guidance, I began a long and grueling recovery.Every day, I pushed through the pain, repeating the same exhausting movements over and over again. Luckily, I ran into someone unexpected during my recovery. Caleb Judson, the Shadow Pack's Alpha and a senior student one year ahead of me."Nicole, it's been a long time," he said with a warm smile, stepping closer and giving my shoulder a light pat.I blinked in surprise. "Caleb? What are you doing here?""Mr. Smith was worried you won't be able to take care of yourself with your injuries, so
