Lola's POVBy lunch, the entire school was talking about the breakup.I walked through the cafeteria and heard my name whispered at every table. People turned to look at me. Some pointed. Others quickly looked away when I caught them staring.I grabbed a tray and got in line for food. The girl behind me leaned over to her friend."That's her," she whispered. "The one who broke up with Flint.""I heard she cheated on him," her friend whispered back."No way. I heard he cheated on her.""Either way, it's crazy. They seemed so perfect together."I grabbed a sandwich and an apple without really looking at them. I just wanted to get out of there.I found an empty table in the corner and sat down. I wasn't hungry, but I needed to look normal. Act normal.Someone sat down across from me. I looked up, expecting to see Evelyn.But it wasn't her. It was a girl from my biology class. Sarah, I think her name was."Is it true?" she asked. "Did you really break up with Flint?""Yes," I said quietly

Lola's POVMorgan started driving again. We left the parking lot and headed somewhere else. I didn't ask where. I just watched the city lights disappear behind us.After about fifteen minutes, he turned onto a narrow dirt road. Trees closed in on both sides. The headlights made long shadows.Finally, I saw it. A bridge. Old stone covered in moss. A river ran underneath, black water rushing over rocks.Morgan parked and got out. I followed."This is the border," he said, walking onto the bridge. "One side is our pack territory. The other side is the Riverside Clan."I looked around. The bridge sat right in the middle. Neither here nor there."Why did you bring me here?" I asked.Morgan leaned against the railing. "Because I needed you to see something.""What?""That being between two things isn't always bad. Sometimes it means you're exactly where you need to be."I stood next to him. The river rushed below us. Cold air came up from the water."You're talking about Flint," I said."I'

Lola's POVThe Alpha's children eventually gave up trying to push me forward. They wandered off to talk to other wolves in the hall. I stayed near the doorway, trying to make myself invisible.Morgan excused himself from Beta Tim and walked toward me. His expression was unreadable."Come with me," he said quietly.I followed him out of the main hall. Down a corridor. Into an empty room. He closed the door behind us."What was that about?" he asked."What was what about?""You wouldn't come to me. You backed away."I looked down at my hands. "I couldn't. Not with everyone watching.""Why not?""Because they'd figure it out. They'd know.""Know what?""That I'm an Omega." I finally looked at him. "That you're with someone weak. Someone beneath you."Morgan's jaw tightened. "You think I care about that?""I care about it. For you. They respect you here. They think you're amazing. I don't want to ruin that.""Lola""They were talking about you at dinner. About how incredible you are. Even

Lola's POVAfter I climbed back into the front seat, my whole body felt hot. Not from the cold or the wet clothes. From something else entirely.The awareness of what just happened. Of being half-naked in the backseat. Of knowing Morgan was right there, only his jacket between us.It felt awkward. But also exciting. My heart hadn't slowed down yet.I tried to focus on something else. Anything else. But my mind kept going back to the moment. To the vulnerability. To the intimacy of it.My wolf stirred inside me. She'd been quiet for so long. But now she was awake. Alert. Wanting.She liked Morgan. Wanted to be closer to him, wanted him in ways that made me blush. I pushed the thoughts away. Forced them down. Now wasn't the time for fantasies.I looked over at Morgan. He was focused on driving. But I noticed something. He was shivering. Just slightly. Barely noticeable."You're cold," I said."I'm fine.""You're shivering.""It's nothing."But it wasn't nothing. He'd let me change first

Lola's POVI said yes. The word came out of my mouth and hung in the air between us. Yes, I would be his girlfriend.Morgan didn't smile right away. He just looked at me. His eyes moved across my face like he was trying to memorise it. Then he reached into his pocket and pulled out the small box again.He took out the necklace. The chain was delicate. Old. The wolf pendant caught the light from the park lanterns."Turn around," he said quietly.I turned. Lifted my hair off my neck. I felt his fingers brush against my skin as he brought the necklace around. The metal was cold when it first touched me. I shivered.His breath was warm on the back of my neck. I felt goosebumps spread down my arms. He fumbled with the clasp for a second, then it clicked shut.The wolf pendant settled against my chest, right above my heart. It felt solid. Real. Like proof that this was actually happening."Perfect," Morgan said.I turned back around. Touched the pendant. "Thank you.""Come on. Let's get in
