Shawn“You have to come to my party!” Lola, Rosa’s best friend and a friend I got to know through Rosalind, shouted into my ears through the phone as I thought of how to tell her no for the third time in three minutes.Everyone knew Lola and every time she travelled she always threw parties when she came back. I haven’t seen her in a long time and when it would be nice to rewind with a party, I wasn’t in the right mood for one. It has been a long day at work and I wanted nothing more than to crawl under the sheets and watch a nice show, but Lola wasn’t taking no for an answer.“I’m sorry Lola. Maybe next time? I promise I’ll make it up to you.” I tried to reassure her but she groaned through the phone.“But it wouldn’t be the same without you! And even Rosa is here.”My ears perked up at the sound of that. “Wait, Rosalind is at the party?”As if on cue I heard Rosa high pitched giggle from the phone at something someone said.She sounded like she was having fun.“Of course Rosa is
Marina James haven’t said a word to me since he came into the hospital. We were supposed to have a picnic in the park, and while I sat on my bed dressed in a pretty pink dress and waiting for him to stroll me out of the hospital room, he sat fiddling with his phone and his eyes scrunched up in concentration as he typed furiously away on his phone.My excitement was long dead. I knew it had something to do with that Rosalind girl. She was getting in my way in every way and it was getting to my nerves.Ever since that day I woke up, I realized James wasn’t the same anymore. It was pretty obvious when he refused to divorce her. This wasn’t the James who fought for his pack. This one is weak, pathetic and repulsive.And worse. He’s beginning to forget me. I thought everything I did was sure to make him not, but it seems it was wearing off.I need to perform another ritual. A lot was banking on him not finding out.If he does, that would mean I’ve lost.Marina doesn’t lose. And if I woul
Marina I could see the rage in his eyes as he turned towards me, his jaw hardening. “What was that for?”I refused to reply, causing his anger to grow as he waited for my reply.“Marina. What was that for?”I stubbornly pinned him with a look that showed I wasn’t in the mood for his attitude. “That’s for acting like that phone is more important than me. Have you forgotten you planned to take me to the park? All our plans?”He glared at me. “Is that what this is all about?”“Yes! You are ignoring me-““I don’t have time for this bullshit, Marina. Grow up. Not everything revolves around you.”My anger flared even more. “Don’t test me, James. You’ve been in a terrible mood and now you even don’t remember who I am anymore to you.”He ran his hand through his hair, the other fisting at him side. “Oh goddess what the hell do you want from me, Marina? Do you want me to fucking babysit you?”This attitude, the anger coming from him and his disregard for me.It all came to a point. “It’s tha
RosalindThe sound of the familiar heart monitor device beeped nonstop in my head, and I needed not be conscious to know where I was.It was already getting old. This was the second time in a month that I was in the hospital and it’s beginning to annoy me. Now I know how patients feel when they are at this side of the hospital.I struggled to open my eyes and then winced as the light burned through my eyes, but my breath was frozen in my lungs as I heard the familiar voice coming in.“Dad I already told you to stop. I’ll get it to happen but stop, okay? I’m tired of having to pretend.”My brows met. Pretend? Shawn’s father was the busiest man I’ve ever met, and I had my reservations about his attitude , but Shawn always praised him so I felt I was being too judgmental about the way he acted. But judging from my so called husband, I’m not the best judge of character. Maybe it’s just me.“Rosalind?” Shawn’s voice broke through the fog of thoughts and I focused on his presence, ny eyes
Shawn While Rosa and Lola laughed and giggled about what I had no idea about, I cursed silently in my mind.My father was one impatient man. And I already told him I was going to sort out everything. But he hated delay.But little did he know that delay was the reason why everything was going well today.And Rosalind was going to be fine. She has no idea she’s a wolf with superior healing abilities, like her pack. James too had no idea she had superior healing abilities. If he knew, it would make everything more complicated for me.I needed him to remove himself completely from Rosa’s life. She needed to see him as the enemy. She needed to see me as her hero.Because I love her.And I plan to do anything to make her mine. I’m done accepting defeat. That was me three years ago. Now, if I want something, I’m going to get it.Lola met my eyes from afar and glared at me. She couldn’t understand why I am doing these things. No one could. And I’m tired of explaining over and over again.
James “James! James wait!”My ears perked as the voice reached my ears and I turned to face who was running after me with a smile that looked to wide on her lips. Lola ran to me and I paused to watch her crouch in front of me to catch her breath. I rolled my eyes as she dramatically tried to catch her breath, and I sighed as my gaze flew to my watch. I was done with theatrics for the whole of the day. Not only did Marina think she can stand against me, then Shawn thinks he has the audacity to order me around.Now Lola, Rosalind’s best friend and the one woman I really don’t like, is right before me and I’ve never wanted the ground to swallow me up so badly.Everything was going wrong, and I was nowhere close to finding out who my enemies are.I’m beginning to even doubt the whole revenge plan.A sigh left my lips as I watched her catch her breath. “What do you want, Lola?”She stood upright. “Can’t I say hi to my friend’s boyfriend?” She gave a coy smile that irritated me straight
RosalindMy eyes opened in an instant and a loud yawn left my lips. All the pains I felt earlier were completely gone and I felt much better as if the accident never happened.The hospital room was dark and empty and I searched around for my phone but it was nowhere to be found.Has Lola and Shawn gone? Feeling thirsty, I pulled myself up from the bed and walked towards the counter where a glass of water sat. Picking it up to my lips, I was frozen in place when my eyes strayed towards the space outside the door, where Shawn and Lola were.They were arguing angrily. Why would Lola and Shawn argue? Lola loves Shawn.Putting down the cup, I decided to meet them to know why exactly they were in the hallway, and what they could be arguing about.“Don’t you dare talk to me that way, Shawn. Don’t forget who I am.”My brows furrowed. Who she is? I slowed down in my steps to hear more, but Shawn’s head snapped towards the spot behind the door where I stood, and I quickly hid.“Rosalind?” He c
Rosalind“Are you sure you don’t want to stay at mine, Rosalind? I’m really worried about your wellness in this house just by yourself.”Shawn and I were seated in his car in front of my house. Lola already dropped at her place, and we already planned to have a sleepover the next couple of nights. I just wanted to be alone for tonight. Everything was happening too fast and I need to take a breather.Honestly, I was already fed up with being around people every single time. I need a little me time and little of people fawning over me every single second.“I’ll be fine, Shawn. I promise. If it makes you feel better, I’ll shut the doors. I’ll double lock them even.”His eyes studied mine with an expression in them I couldn’t even identify.After an eternity he finally decided to speak. “There are some terrors even the triple lock on your back door cannot keep away, Rosa.”My heart sank at his statement. Why would he do that?Instill Terror into me? For what reason?“What?”He blinked o
