TRIVIA
"What do you mean?" I asked into the phone, my teeth clenched as I tapped nervously against my counter. "You've been transferred; that's all I know. You should check your phone; a mail should have gotten in by now," Claire, the only friend I had, responded to the phone."Thanks, I will." With a loud sigh, I kicked against the chair before slumping into it. I worked my ass off today; my knees curled up to my chest as I scrolled through the content of my phone and opened my mail. I muttered a few words of prayer, and there it was. A letter that I had been transferred to some town named Theed—I mean, where the hell does that fit? Instantly, I googled it, but there's not much to it—some shabby lakes, boring stuff about their new high school—apparently they did have some sightseeing about nature. I rolled my eyes in my head before throwing my phone right beside me. I strutted up at the counter, poured myself a glass of beer, and straight away gulped down the whole content. My life as a reporter was nothing but an absolute failure—a bloody mess. I graduated from school, and just like everyone else, I had bright dreams of being young, getting a high-paying job quickly, and setting down. However, I really got screwed over to have thought that far. Job after job I searched for and got none; eventually, I ended up settling as a reporter for a small and shabby company, which actually did well. The pay was nothing more than to sustain my daily living, but I'll pass well. However, news came today that a transfer was to be made, and each one in the office dreaded being chosen. Just like every ill luck I met, I ended up being the one, only that it's a negative phrase for me. I yawned lazily before heading towards my room. I took a quick shower before wiggling into a different set of clothes. I felt a heavy bang right in my head, my pupils dilated, and my senses got all jumbled up as I walked towards the door, knowing what came next. Hastily, I stormed towards my cabinet in search of the pills, but all I found was an empty container, much to my dismay. "Fuck," I whisper with shaky hands, wriggled into a mini gown just inches past my thighs. Slit back down to my lower waste with low levels to match. I tripped hard against the stairs, stumbled forward, and almost fell. I was getting worse. "Damn it!" I cursed at no one in particular before running down the stairs. The hailed cab headed down to Single Rex, the only clubhouse with nasty people, and I fitted in perfectly. Highlighting from the cab, I can already hear the whispers, the voices in my head, and the flashes of several images of people whom I have no recognition of. With blurry eyes and a light head, I made my way through the crowd before heading on to his office. "Joe," I called out, throwing my arms over his neck as the voices in my head increased."Easy, love, your pills, right?" He asked, and I nodded slowly, my hands still curved around his neck, knowing well that he''s the only thing that helps me keep my balance. "The stuff; bring some for me," he ordered a guard who stood by the door. Joe eased me up into the chair, and then a high-pitched noise went off in my head. I let out a light screech, hating that part of me. "Hey honey, easy, okay, I don't want news going about that a reporter had gone crazy in my clubhouse," he chirped in. I bit down on my lip so much that it drew blood while I tried hard to muffle my screams. He tossed a pack to me, and I immediately took four of the pills, downing them before Joe offered me a drink. I held my silence for two minutes, and everything seemed to have returned to its normal way. "You seemed really messed up, love," he muttered to me. He seemed to watch me from the corner of his eyes rather than gaze at me like he usually did. "I'm sorry, I just could not find any left. In the room, I panicked; I threw a fuss, and this happened," I explained hastily. Something seemed to be off; usually he was the type to tease me around. "I need to tell you something, about the pills," I added, thinking of the best way to lay the words down. "Yeah, me too!" I bent my head slowly to the right and gestured that he speak first. "I need to stop giving you this pill trivia; you seem to be pretty fucked up; it is not helping you; it's only killing you, and usually I sell my stuff and shut the hell up, but you are one lovely lady; you need treatment, not some whacky pills; you are going crazy," Joe explained, and I got plunged into darkness immediately. "No, you can't do this to me; I need them; I'll be moving tomorrow; I need more than this... I'll double the pay. No, I'll triple it." I pleaded with him, but he held his silence. "What the hell do you want? Anything, just anything, I'll give it up. I pleaded once again, but he said nothing and stared down at me like I was some pity project. "Keep the pay for this one; let's say it's our parting gift; go get yourself treated first; take her out," he ordered another guard of his pullsled. me by the arms. "no! Joe… You can't do this to me, please! Anything you want, but please don't cut me off." I plead, but he doesn't listen. "I'm doing this because I consider you a friend trivia, and I'm hoping this will be the last time I'll ever see you," he added in, glanced up to his guards. "Don't ever let her in my office again, not for any reason. What are you waiting for? I said, Drag her out!" he yelled. "Joe, please. You can't do this to me!"EREBUS POV.Slowly, I glanced down from the window with a heavy heart and confused mind, worried at the gravity of my decisions and the future of my pack. As an alpha, the safety of my pack comes first, but I could not help but think I was letting my emotions get the best of me. The sky had gotten dark out, the clouds had gathered, and thunder struck constantly."It's going to rain soon," a voice called as soon as the doors were pushed open.A smile creeped up the corner of my lips as she walked up to me. Her blue eyes stared into mine as jolts of electricity ran down my spine. While I watched as she bit down on her lips subconsciously as a habit that had formed in her, I gulped hard, trying to take control of myself."It is, and I've really got to get going," I answered. She pulled closer to me before reaching for my cheeks, pinching on them slightly before ruffling my hair with her hands."Be nice to them; father would have wanted this, you know?" Her words trailed off as she starte
TRIVIA POV.warm, soft, delicious…Those were the three senses that registered to me as I sniffed slightly into the air, I tried recalling the previous activities but they seemed to be blocked off by some sort of reason, I popped my eyes open to find myself in an unfamiliar surrounding, I close them shut before popping them open once more but they seemed to look nothing like my room.Just then, I'm hit by panic, fear washing over me once again as I succumb to my inferior thoughts, "Have I been abducted?, am I dead?, where am I?" These questions I ask myself as I remain stiff, my body shakes as a screeching sound comes on, like a door being opened, I hear the tapping of feet drawing closer into the room and I squint my eyes slowly, opening them by only a few inches.A smooth and supple skin, bare back, blond body, brown hair and a towel wrapped just around the torso, I gulp hard as I stare at the embodiment that could be defined as perfect, he bends slightly to pick up a spoon which h
EREBUS POV."Are you insane?!" she blurts out at once, a frown on her face and a look of disgust throwing me into a sudden haze, "I don't know who you think you are young man, but you don't own people" she turns to face Thomas and immediately the look on her face dissolved Into a smile" I have a lot to do, I'm really sorry for the inconvenience, thanks for taking me in and all, do you mind giving me your number?" she asks, shameless just like before.Thomas turns to face me as if asking for permission,"I'm with him little miss, I can't really do that unless he gives me the orders" Thomas responds fondly, the light smile on her face disappears, her cheeks burns red from embarrassment, an emotion I thought she was incapable of, then it furrows down into a frown once more as she glances at me her eyes darting across the room before she grabs her luggage's and bolts out of the room."What was that about?" Thomas asks almost immediately, he had seen the look on my face earlier, and I tilt
TRIVIAS POV.“miss? Are you okay now? Can you hear me?” A strange voice called out, drawing me out of whatever fancy land I had been in all along.I glanced around out of curiosity, my nose getting filled with the heavy scent of antiseptic that made me feel like retching.“For fucks sake, why am I here?” I asked the nurse, who stared at me blankly and then proceeded to eye me curiously.“Are you new in town?” she asked again, batting her eyelashes at me in a questioning glance.“Yes, somehow.“ Just then I realised how much my arm was hurting. I glanced to my side to see a bandage all over my shoulders.“You will be fine in a couple of minutes; although the painkiller will wear off, it will itch a lot, but so far, that's all; it will heal as well,” the nurse explained.“what happened? The last thing I remember was getting lost in the woods with the wild animals.” My gaze popped even wider as I realised my mind was more of a haze; I could not really think much of it anymore.“Your guard
TRIVIAS POV.“Oh sh*t!.” I muttered beneath my breath before walking briskly away from the scene. Cold chills broke out from my temple. What was it about? Why were they all in high praise of him?I could not believe that scrawny guy was the mayor.What were they thinking of making a person like that the mayor? How the fuck was I expected to maintain my cover with a man as rude as that? Principal for a bloody week.I sighed and got to my feet before walking through the school hallways. I needed to register for courses and the like.“nice body.” A pale-looking guy retorted, passing me a nasty bunch of looks. I sighed before walking past them. I wasn't interested in any of their silly remarks.“He said nice body; isn't it nice taking compliments?” Another asked, blocking my route. I glanced up at him. He looked drop-dead gorgeous, with flecks around his nose, a little bit of pussynose, and broad shoulders.A smile curled up on his pink mapple and soft lips, his green orbs staring directl
EREBUS POV.Loud laughter escaped her lips as she stared blankly at him. She continued, holding down to the sides of her belly, while I stared wide-eyed at her in total confusion.“Fine, I'll say this once since you went out of lane as well. I do not belong to anybody, not especially you. I'm not sure why nobody is seeing this, but how crazy are you really? Sane people don't just go around saying people belong to them." She teased, and I watched as she made her way through the door, slamming it hard on my face.“What did you just do?.” I asked my wolf. Red had never been the type to meddle in affairs; in fact, he was just like me; he kept to himself most of the time, but I could not understand why he had claimed that a lunatic of a girl caused me to look like a weakling.“Don't tell me you don't feel the bond; why is it so hard for you to understand?.” He asked again, hopping around in me,“What bond? And now, thanks to you, that crazy ass lady will really believe I have some sort of
TRIVIAS POV.“Funny, I just don't think he deserved all the hype; I mean, the guy had bad manners.” I teased, laughing alongside Enoch, who had been great company all along.“I have to hit the road now; I'll see you tomorrow.” Enoch responded, waved me off while I smiled foolishly, my eyes trailing after him. Well, of course, Enoch looked really handsome; he has been the first person who loathed Erebus like I had done everything that seemed to go in sync. Maybe everything would not be that bad; maybe what I needed all along was a little bit of peace and quiet and a change of environment. I wasn't sure what my boss believed; he wanted to know about the town, but so far everything has been good; nothing seems out of place.Thunderstruck was followed by a bolt of lightning. The sky got dark pretty quick, and it seemed like there was going to be a downpour. I raised my eyes to match those of the imposing guy earlier today.What was he thinking, making snarky and cliche comments about li
TRIVIA’s POV.I tensed up and remained frozen in place. Well, of course, it drove me insane to have a contact as such after so many years, but I barely knew this lady.“I'm so sorry.” She apologized and pulled away from me while we both locked gazes. It was brief, but tension filled the air; we were both speechless and lost in our thoughts.“I should go.” She apologised again and headed to the door.“wait!.” I called out, the words slipping off my tongue without reason. Her eyes bore into mine, and I felt a sudden rush of heat within me. What was there to deny? I wanted her. I fucking wanted her.I ran my tongue over my lower lips and pulled her towards me.Arms gliding down to her sides, she remained on a spot, shuddering from delight.I leaned towards her, placing kisses against her neck and a smile on my face. My lips ran behind her neck followed by my tongue as I nibbled severally on her earlobe.She moaned into my touch, leaning in on me; i was bare, not clothed; her fingers r
