Novel & Cerita Better Half Game

"I know the game is neck a neck, but a lot can change in the second half." Kent didn't reply, simply extending his hand to me and opening it.

We have all finished off Becca's pringles by the time the game starts. Soon enough, it is half time and there have been no fight outbreaks, no dirty moves, and the score is even. I'm impressed. "Something's up," Miles says as they all break. "What do you mean?" I ask him. "They're playing too clean. They have something planned for the second half," he mutters and I think he's talking more to himself, than me. "What do you-" "Hang on, I'll be back."

He didn't want them to fight before the game. "Fine, how about you play either of the halftime. Decide when you'll play," Devon attempted to negotiate, but Bienley refused to respond. "Babe, please let's come to a compromise on this. You can play in the first half or the second half of the game," Devon persisted. "You're being unreasonable, Devon. Have you realized that?" Bienley sharply glanced at him. "Yes, I know," Devon readily agreed, but it didn't stop him from wanting Bienley to do what he wanted.

The game is only a best of three sets and Hayley could never be more thankful that she can take a break now. While class B and A fight, Hayley looked at her arms and saw how redder they were than yesterday. There's still one more game that they need to play to find out if they'll play a tiebreaker or not. She hopes they win so class A and B can fight for second place then and they can just enjoy the other games. "I need to go to the comfort room," she tells Eleanor. "I'll be back." "Do you want me to come with you?" "No! It's okay. I'll be quick."

We jogged out of the pitch feeling positive as we all went to hydrate and talk tactics since we're going to be on the defense now. In no time, we were out on the pitch again and things got a whole lot different. If I had thought the first half was smooth sailing for us, the second half most certainly wasn't. The red team kept colliding with every member of the blue team. Lennox somehow kept breezing past our defense which included me. I could see Karl was fuming, even more than Jeremy. By the end of the second half, my teammates were rubbing their sore shoulders and backs. The red team had won and now, it was down to the final half which would determine the winner of this year's Winthrop Foo

Kate remarked as she took the puck. "We're playing half-team," she started off. "Usual Hockey rules apply. First to ten wins. Got it?" I nodded as I was actually feeling pretty excited for the game. Nonetheless, I tried hard not to show it. Kate slowly walked over to their team with a sly grin on her face. "One more thing. If I win, I get Eva." Eva who was standing nearby couldn't help but scoff. I sighed and leaned against the goal post with my arms crossed. "And if I win, you, Eva, Abigail and Sophie will all leave me alone, alright?"

IN THE SYNTAX QUARTER, “ Did you see what I see?” Victoria asked Luna and Jacob who was with her in the living room watching an action movie. “ What?” Luna and Jacob asked. “ It felts like Devon is glowing, I even noticed the little smile on his face.” Victoria gossiped. “ And why is that?” Luna asked in a frown. “ It felts like he is happy.” Victoria said and grinned widely. “ What’s wrong with that, everyone can be happy.” Luna said.

Finally around 10am his phone started ringing. “Hello! What did he say?” Aiden practically yelled at his father through the phone. “Well good morning to you to son, I slept great thank you for asking.” Arthur responded sarcastically, “the doc said he has to have some werewolf blood but she might be a Half Blood. It’s very rare since most werewolves stick to their own kind, but there have been a few one night stands or even short relationships between humans and werewolves. Once in a while a half blood will be the product of that. We think your mate must have grown up as a human. Her mom may not have even known that she had slept with a werewolf let alone gave birth to one.”

"Give me my share of the pack's assets, and I'll leave this territory for good. You'll never see me again." Marcus's expression immediately shifted to concern. "What are you talking about? This is always going to be your home." I laughed like I'd heard a joke. "Home? The day my mother died, I stopped having one." Marcus went rigid. "Name your price," I said. "I want what's mine." He was quiet for a long time, then let out a theatrical sigh. "What are you so upset about this time? Fine. We'll give you half a million to clear your head, take a little trip."

I wanted to keep the secret of the mate bond a little longer, so it wouldn’t be tainted by others' thoughts and feelings, so I provided a half-truth instead. “I don’t know if you know this but my dad lost his fucking mind and decided to hold a game which he calls ‘The Mating Game’ where Miles and Orion have been competing for my hand in marriage. They had to come back for this meeting with you so they brought me along to meet the pack since I’m going to be a wife to one of them.” “More like both,” Lex purred with a sultry snicker. “Don’t get me started with you. We will discuss what just happened later,” I shot back my reprimand.
