JOKER GIRL

CHAPTER 1Natalie POVI heard someone storm into the classroom, “Hey, everyone! guess what this loser, Natalie wrote in her diary!”That was Cassian!I raised my head and saw, My pink diary was in his hand. My body froze. Everyone's eyes fell on me.No, no, no, no, no. I quickly got out of my seat and rushed toward him. I tried to grab it from his hand but he's 6’2, a tower compared to me who's 5’2. He knocked me off with his elbow and shoved me back. I tripped on my feet and fell on my butt, hard.He opened the diary whilst he stared down at me on the floor. A sinister smirk was plastered on his gorgeous face, his eyes cold as ever, “Everyone, listen to the creepy fantasy this loser has about Kade—and unfortunately, I as well.”The crowd snickered.“Another admirer? Leave some for us!” Someone jest.Cassian flipped through the pages and my hands trembled as he started to read out loud.“I like him, I know it’s stupid, since he's out of my league but I can’t help it. When he talks t

THE CALCULATED RETURN

CHAPTER 2 Natalie POV FOUR YEARS LATER.I spotted Tasha holding a sign with my name—Natalie—written in bold letters.at the pickup area in the airport. She still had that fake smile of hers. A smile that never touched her eyes at least when she's with me.I walked up to her. Without a word, she turned and headed for the exit. I followed a step behind her until we reached her car.The drive home stayed quiet.I hadn’t seen Tasha in four years. Her fashion sense has changed. She's wearing a simple floral patterned dress and corset and her ash blonde hair in a high ponytail. There are things that haven't changed, the silence in the car told me everything. If anything, I felt her hostility more clearly now.I can't believe I was back in this pack again. After the bullying incident, I couldn't return to that school. My mother was mad the family name was ridiculed and sent me away. I know she didn't do it for my own good but I was very relieved back then. But I wonder why she wants me

MOTHER'S WARNING AND SISTER'S POISON

CHAPTER 3Natalie POVMy room was quiet as I stared at the ceiling, trying to figure out the who the wolves I saw in the woods were until Tasha stormed into my room, her brows furrowed and a first-aid kit at hand.“Let me see,” she grunted. The mattress dipped under her weight as she sat on the bed, setting the kit down with a dull thud. “I can do it myself, I only asked where the first aid kit is.” “Just let me do it! Unlike you, I care about someone other than myself plus I have to do it properly so it doesn't leave a scar and embarrass us.” I knew my sister, things wouldn't progress either way. I let her do what she wants and get over with the interaction. Her hands were moving fast and rough as she cleaned my chin, I flinched every time her fingers brushed my skin with the pungent smell coming out of the antiseptic which received another grunt. “Tasha, what are you using?" I pinched my nose. Tasha glared at me from underneath her lashes, “don't you dare complain, you wouldn't

THE WEDDING TRAP

Chapter 4 Natalie P.O.VThe Black’s garden was filled with all sorts of roses. White, red, blush pink. They were wrapped around the golden pillars in the garden. Though I hated roses, I have to admit it looked magical, like something out of a fairytale.From the front row I was sitting at, I could hear the laughter of the five different packs here today, camera flashes were everywhere, laughter echoed through the garden. Their scents were thick with power and influence.They were all in very expensive suits and glittering gowns exchanging plastered smiles and occasionally smiling for the cameras.I could feel a few glances towards my direction.I looked down to my flowy rose-gold Lace dress and clung to it. The neckline was a v-neck, and I wore a simple but elegant crystal necklace with a heart-shaped pendant that complimented the dress.Tasha was seated beside me, her dress identical to mine. We looked like mirrored reflections, our hairs pinned in soft curls.We were almost identi

THE PRIVATE CONFRONTATION

CHAPTER 5Natalia's P.O.VI slipped through the crowd, past trays of champagne, and curious glances that lingered a bit too long. I didn't care, I just wanted to get out of there.The doors to the terrace were only a few steps away, when I felt a rough hand caress my skin, smoothing it as it pulled me back sending a surge of electricity in its way. My hands felt warm, as I turned to see who it was.Kade “Leaving so soon?” he murmured, leaning close enough that I felt his breath brush my ear. I trembled against the silken warmthI tried to pull back, but his grip only tightened slightly, not painful, but I couldn't move my arms. “I just need air, okay?.”“Funny,” he said softly. “So do we.”My chest heaved as my breath got caught in my throat. Before I could move again, another presence closed in on my other side. Blocking the path back to the ballroom.It was Cassian smirking at me.Karl stepped into view in front of me.My breath turned shallow. “What are you doing?”Cassian’s exp

TASHA'S HATE

Chapter 6 Natalia's P.O.V.I drew the covers closer as I was curled up in a ball hugging my knees.The covers felt cold, the breath against the back of my palm felt colder.The cold wind outside was blaring in.Why didn't I close the windows last night?The word Mate still echoed inside my head, as I wiggled my head trying to shut it out.Every heart beat repeated it and every breath seemed to mock me with it.I stared at the closed door of the room, unable to move, I could only stay bent to my knees on the bed.Could this really be real and not just some bad dream?Out of everyone in the world, why them?Why all three?They destroyed me! four years ago!Made me hate myself!I laughed, but it wasn't funny.I sounded broken."What kind of joke is this?"Silence answered me.My wolf whimpered instead of roaring now, as if she couldn't understand why I was rejecting what she wanted."You've got terrible taste," I muttered bitterly.She growled.I pressed both hands against my temples."
