Jurius Like the love two wolf shifters had for each other when paired by the moon goddess. I had that same deep affection for her; the only difference was that she wasn't one of us, and it was wrong. A human and a wolf shifter can never be together. That has been the rule for hundreds of years and will remain unchangeable. I felt miserable fighting the love I had for her. I felt like I was fighting myself. "I thought it was teamwork to get rid of her," I said, covering my lies. If Dad only knew how badly I was starving for her—to touch her, to be next to her—every single night instead of going off to bed, I secretly watched her from her window as she cried, desiring that one day I could put an end to her tears. Dad gave me a grave look. "For a minute, I thought you were accepting her as your soulmate," he said. "Never!" I retorted, lying again. He and Uncle Lennox kept looking at me as if they didn't believe me. I knew they were listening for a sudden rise in my heartbeat. Over

Jurius My teeth clenched in my mouth, and I held tightly onto the left leg of my pants, causing my leg to soon feel cramped. It was difficult to sit still knowing she was right there at the back. My body stiffened in my seat. There were 25 students on the bus, and her scent was the one I couldn't stop picking up; it overpowered everyone else. I slid myself closer to the window, opening it for some fresh air to get rid of her scent. I hated myself for loving her scent and for accepting her as my soulmate. It is very wrong. Can't this stupid bus go any faster? I cursed from the inside. The wind from the window wasn't helping at all. I quickly reached for a handkerchief from my pocket and covered my nose. Finally, it helped. The handkerchief smelled like the sweet scent of softener, a laundry item my mom used to rinse our clothes. Just when I thought I was safe from her attractive scent, another issue occurred: her beautiful face. In the window next to me, I could see her reflection. H

Jurius After what had happened between us, I knew she had many questions. Questions about why I was at her house the day I caught her when she tried to commit suicide by jumping from her window. She was now following me into the forest, where Dad had instructed me to kill her. I could smell her—a scent of rare roses. My hands tightened in pain, wishing it didn't have to be so for us. Freya I went behind the trees where he had vanished, and there I saw him walking straight ahead. Where was he going? I paused to watch him curiously and worriedly. After the encounter I had back at home with the wolf that almost killed me, I feared he might not be as lucky as me. I somehow felt he didn't hear what Ms. Burrow had said, and so I decided to chase after him to warn him that he should stay within the group. "Jurius," I called, walking hastily, taking the same path he had taken. My arms were held to my side, scared that a wolf might jump from the bushes and rip me apart. I wanted to turn ba

JuriusWitnessing what I could do and that my strength was inhuman. I was ready for a kill—to put an end to her. To stop the misery, she had caused me and the effect it now had on my father.I was prepared to slash her throat open and bury her where no one would find her. But instead, my claws froze beneath my skin.I thought she would be terrified of me, seeing what I was. She wasn't. I smelled no scent of fear emanating from her body. She was calm, taking it as if it were something she saw often.She got up from the ground. My eyes kept changing uncontrollably back and forth into my wolf as she did."You're the wolf," she said as she stood. A single footstep away from me.She recognized that I was the wolf who attacked her.Her head is now lowered.One of my hands was raised for a strike, but like always, she made it difficult to kill her.She wept.A pain struck me in the heart—loathing she was. It is difficult to see my other half cry. Her tears made me miserable."You're a wolf s

FreyaI thought Jurius would return to school and one of his arms would be wrapped around me while we ate our lunch together, and we'd strode along the length of the corridor just like the students who were in love since we were soulmates, but I didn't see him.I played with my food, worried if he was okay. I was concerned if his alpha had somehow found out about us and killed him. My heart raced at that thought. I didn't know much about real wolf shifters other than the made-up ones in the novels. "Excuse me," I told Dolly as I got up from around our lunch table."Where are you going?" she asked inquisitively."To the lady's room," I told her as I walked away."Okay, don't take too long; we have a lot of things to talk about!" she yelled.Dolly was anxious about the party after the football championship. She wanted to talk about the outfits they'd wear and how their hair would be done.I'm not sure if I will be going, but if Jurius asks me to, I will say yes without hesitating.I we
