Afterward, I dried off and brushed my teeth before starting to style my hair and apply makeup. Although I intended to make only minor adjustments, I couldn't help but be drawn to bolder makeup and straightened hair.

The slender necklace complemented my outfit perfectly, while the earrings gracefully dangled from my ears.

I said curiously. "Well, I don’t know but I am pretty sure that those two devils are up to no good". Liam replied. "So, what’s the second step, since our first one was a quick success, I suppose that we are going to proceed towards our second step". I asked. "Yes, we are going to. Listen closely, if we make a mistake on this step, trust me our plan will be a failure." I nodded and listened closely. "So, the second step is…."

What shocked me the most was the fact that the woman was Ivy Lewis, my good friend. My hands clenched around my shopping bags until my nails dug into my palms. It was Valentine's Day. I'd specifically gone to the mall to buy some gifts for him, that bastard! I wanted to break up with him! At that very moment, a robotic voice rang out in my head. "The system has detected a prospective host, Rowena Hurst. You have met the conditions for the Infidelity Cashback System. Would you like to activate it? If you do, whenever your partner spends money on his infidelity partner, twice the amount will be transferred to your bank account."

My heart turned heavy, and I could feel a tremor running through my entire body. Jasmine's tiara was worth a small fortune, yet all I asked for was a simple 150 dollars bandage treatment to save my own skin. James gave the others a knowing look and said to me in a soothing tone, "Hey Carol, how about we go get you some bandages tonight?" "Yeah, bandages are way safer than the agony of surgery. We'll give you a piggyback ride and even get you some painkillers. You won't feel a thing," chimed Ryan.

Putting others in danger? No, not any more, so with every power that was in me I growled and both of them turned to me as my bones began to snap, muscles ripping and in a few seconds, I was standing on all fours my skin shredded for fur. I had actually shifted. "I'm sorry I took so long Koko..." My wolf told me and I glared at the rogue. “Better late than never I guess..."

Noah said, his voice flat as he pointed at the string. Vance walked up the path, a heavy wooden box of lemon saplings balanced against his hip. He dropped it into the dirt with a loud thud. His shirt was completely unbuttoned, his chest sweating in the heat. "It’s not crooked," Vance said, wiping his forearm across his brow. "Dimitris knows what he’s doing." "The eastern stake is two inches off the baseline, Vance. If the winter water comes down the ridge, it’s going to wash the topsoil straight over the cliff face."

I left the hotel and hurried back to Raven Pack. The day I buried my unborn child, the sky was heavy, as if it might fall on top of me. Standing in front of the small grave, I held a bouquet of bird of paradise flowers, my tears falling silently. "I'm so sorry. You deserved better parents," I whispered as I placed the flowers at the foot of the grave. To my surprise, Adam showed up. He held a bouquet of white roses, his expression unreadable as he stared at the grave. The sight of those roses made my stomach turn.

Apollo mocked me. Again, pictures appeared on the crystal ball and I cannot believe what I saw. The young Gibbous twin jumped to the branch of the tree and landed on the roof of the classic house. Alfredo continues on kissing the girl, not minding anything. I saw how Alpha Nicholas laughed and gave his twin a wink before he landed on the terrace, bewildering Alfredo and his girl. I cannot hear what he said but fear is visible in the girl’s expression. Alpha Nicholas said something to Alfredo and just like that, he kneels in front of Alpha Nicholas as his twin is laughing on the roof, cheering for whatever he’s doing.

Coming back to his room with a mug in his hand, he stared at her face for some seconds and with a sigh concluded that they both skipped school. Glancing at the clock, the time was 9:45 am. He took his towel and went to the bathroom where he had a long bath. Coming out of the bathroom, he combed his hair and used another towel to clean the water dripping from his hair. He walked to his wardrobe and brought out a pair of joggers and went back to the bathroom where he changed into his clothes.

With my blurred vision, I was incapable of distinguishing anything more than their vague shapes. I slowly hoist my tired body up into a sitting position, leaning my body against the headpost, rubbing my eyes at the same time in an endeavor to clear my cloudy vision.
