The walk down to the Griffin’s home was super exhausting. I just wanted it to be done. Yet, the more I walked to the house, the more I felt like I should be somewhere else right now.I cried softly, releasing the pent-up emotions that had been holding me hostage. I had been so rude to Mike. I shouldn’t have done that. I shouldn’t have made him feel so awful because he was looking out for me. But, what could I have done? His closeness to me will only hurt him.I had no idea how to get Marcus off my back. I had to that to protect the Griffin’s; to protect Mike. Now, I don’t even know what to do. It was so frustrating being so clueless about things like this.I kicked the leaf off my path, and then my eyes narrowed on a stall that sold candy floss and other items. I could get something sweet to make my nerves slightly better. I walked towards the stall, and ordered some sweets. The man manning the desk was sweet, giving me a discount. I smiled thankfully at him, and tried to chew on the
I pushed open my door, and stepped into the room. I was so annoyed. Almost immediately, Mike followed hot after me. I swirled around to face him.“I didn’t invite you to my room, pervert,” I taunted angrily.Mike made a move towards me, but stopped at the blast of a horn. It was definitely the Griffins. He took a look at me, and then left my room as quickly as he had come.I bit down on my lower lip. I shouldn’t have called him a pervert. I was way out of line. But, there was something about Mike that made me to lose all sense when I saw him. He was just too much.I walked back to my books, and took a jotter, hoping I would be able to read something today.“Maya!” Mrs Griffin called me.I kept my mood down with a sigh. Once again, I wouldn’t be able to read anything today? I was really falling back in classes, and it wasn’t so good for me. Hopefully, that changes soon.I ran down to the sitting room, where the Griffins stood in a circle. They looked at me with a smile. I was aware tha
We walked down the path leading to the pack house. Mike had his hands behind his back. He was so defensive of me, and I had a feeling that nothing would take him unawares.“Mike,” I called suddenly.He turned to me slowly. “M? Do you want more water?”I smiled as I shook my head no. “I have an insane urge at the moment.” I looked at him and he was about to say something, so I continued. “What I’m trying to say is that, I have the urge to shape-shift. I feel like I need that so badly now.”Mike stopped in his tracks. “I’m sorry, Maya but that wouldn’t be possible.”“But, why?”He sighed slightly. “The wolf hunters are lurking around at this time. It would be so dangerous if they find us in such a situation,” he explained calmly.I sighed a bit. This was so sad. I couldn’t enjoy the fact I was a wolf now. According to Mike, the problem started because Rogues were killing the humans, or turning them for some strange motive. Now, I was at the whims of one of those rogues. I hoped all thes
For a second, I couldn’t breathe. Mike’s hands around me was the only guarantee I had that I was still alive, and breathing. My fingers clawed through his skin. I wanted to shrink into him in hope to disappear, but I was still there in the middle of the dark forest.“Mike?” I questioned, my tongue clammy in my mouth.His fingers slowly touched my arm, and then, I was thrust away from him. “Run,” he said with such urgency worse than the first time he had said that word.I didn’t wait. I ran. I could feel him behind me, hoarding me from any form of danger. It only made me run blindly. I was slightly weak thanks to the wolfsbane, but it didn’t stop me from pushing forward. I can’t stop now. I had an insane urge to look back, and see if there were any lurking dangers in the shadow, but I stilled myself against it. This wasn’t the time to let my emotions get the best of me. I need to run, and that is all I would do; run.At a boulder, before the big leap to the human world, I felt a hand
My eyes sprang open almost immediately. What was the time? I took up my alarm, and realised that it was 5 am on the dot. I was had to prepare for the next two hours. I decided not to think about anything. Rich people go to spa. I will bring mine to this house.I jumped out of bed, and wore rabbit-eared slippers. I looked around the dark room, and wondered what I would be able to do. First thing first, I will have a soft shower to clean off the stress and dirt that had accumulated on my body. I was so smart sometimes. I went to work doing all these. I poured a healthy dose of bath soap in the bath water, and then, added some salt into the bath water for good measure. My skin would look so good when I’m done.I washed off all the dirt from my body, while whistling to the tune I had known in my past. It was so good, and intense. I enjoyed the vibe I was getting, and how it made my body feel like porcelain.It was so nice to have a bathroom to yourself. I had to admit that part. No-one w
The thick blue of his eyes held me prisoner. It took all I had to look away from him. I was so annoyed with him. He could laugh and play with another girl within minutes of breaking up with me. That wasn’t so fair at all. Oh, moon goddess!I was the one who was being unreasonable. I broke up with him, right? Then, why was I still stuck in my own feelings? It literally didn’t matter who he spoke with. I shouldn’t care. I…Bang!I collided with a figure.“Don’t tell me you can’t see?” The person snapped rudely.I frowned slightly. The man had made no move to stabilise me. He was just so rude. The hoodie he wore obstructed me from seeing his face. He looked like the shadow of himself.“It’s…”“Stupid girls,” he added rudely, and walked away from me.The way he did and what he didn’t ring well with me. I wasn’t so sure that he was a student in this school. How could someone be so rude and uncouth? A simple sorry would have been nice.I turned back towards that library. I had some reading
I walked into the cafeteria, and sighted Ian at our spot. He was surrounded by the his friends as usual. I wasn’t sure I wanted to move to him in this situation. I hated crowd.I was about to go back where I was coming from, but Ian’s eyes caught mine. He motioned for me to come over to him. This time, I didn’t hesitate. Mike wasn’t here, so there was no need to be confused.Ian nudged me down, and then, slowly kissed me on my lips. I was stunned, and couldn’t reciprocate the kiss.“Sit with us,” Ian said softly.I nodded, as I sat down.The boys awed at us. I was blushing scarlet at the whole attention. I wasn’t used to such loudness earlier. I just didn’t vibe with it. It would have been nice if it were just I and Ian like it used to be. I didn’t want any additional drama. I wanted peace of mind.“So, man! You didn’t tell us you had such a pretty girl in your corner,” one of them pointed out.Ian laughed softly, as he placed his hands over my shoulders. “Now, it’s out. She is mine a
The scene earlier rattled in my mind, as I walked over to my next class. I was literally tired of everything, and I couldn’t wait to go home. How does my day literally spiral out of control each and every time I step out of the house?It was beginning to irk me badly. I wanted to be able to have a good day at this point in my life. I wanted no more stress in my life. Why does this have to be this way at every point in time? It was literally suffocating at this point.The next class was a snore, and within minutes, it was over. I packed my bags as quickly as I could, and walked out of the door. I was in no mood to stress myself this period. I just wanted some peace of mind, and complete happiness. Nothing more and nothing less.I walked away from the crowd that had gathered outside, and to the main gate. Now, I wasn’t living in the dorm, I was a bit grateful. The stress of transportation was a heaven compared to the stress of going to the dorm, thinking someone was out to get you.I
