I paused mid-stride, my hackles rising as I spin slowly. Behind me is a female, her honey brown hair cut short to just under her chin, a slim nose, and heart shaped face, with her short hair, it gives her an overall edgy look. Frankly, she looks striking and she knows it. And I would compliment her but she just called me homeless so… “Who are you?” I narrow my eyes at her. I don’t think I’ve seen her before; I should like to think I would remember a face like that. She brings a hand to her chest. The brown leather jacket she wears parting to show a tank top underneath. “And here I thought our first time would be a memorable one” I don’t look away from her for a second, whoever she is she doesn’t like me and I sure as hell don’t know her, she’s probably friends with Tiana, the homeless comment and all. I resist the urge to sigh, this is becoming bothersome. “At least it was for me.” She continues. “My knife, your face, ring a bell?” she shakes her head, a false wide eye lo

Naya gives me more pointers on using my claws the day after, we practice slashes. "Think of them as an extension of your fingers, because they are an extension of your fingers” She moves from my left side to my right. “And you don’t want to throw your hands like you would your fist. So more slashing and less hitting, go on” she says behind me as I make slashing motions with my invoked claws. I go with my right hand and then with my left because Naya says “What happens when your right hand is incapacitated?” After that, we work on backward slashes, for when I’m being attacked by more than one opponent. “Keep working on it” she tells me before going over to where Colin seems to have his hands full with Micha and Philips. I keep practicing but my attention is drawn to where the others are training, it’s safe to say I no longer train with them, not even when they’re having special exercises. I see Oliver having it out with Jude, they go at each other, claws out, when did they get s

I haven’t slept. I can’t sleep. I tossed and turned for hours last night and when I finally slept off, it was restless. Which is why I’ve opted for a run this morning to wake me up and get my blood pumping. Last night I had taken a moment to study her, Mercy. I only saw her side view but she’s built like an enforcer, tall and fit, I bet she’s gorgeous. Her waves of dark hair swayed down her back as she walked He probably likes females like that, strong, sure of herself, not someone that’s scared of her own shadow, someone like… me. Not to mention she’s closer to his age and definitely confident in her own sexuality, not second guessing her every move, when I close my eyes, I remember how she had brought up her hand to his chest. I so wanted to break every finger on that hand. I shake my head at my violent thoughts, pushing myself to run a bit faster. I liked being the object of his attention, too much. I got used to it, he’s so free with his affection, he touches m

We head for the boutiques next, I immediately head to the shoe section and get a new pair of sneakers in black which I carry in my hands like gold as we go around.“Outfits, we need outfits” Mile leads us to the clothing racks.“I think this would suit you” she holds up a soft pink dress.I tilt my head to the side “It looks nice”“Don’t you like it? what about this one” she holds up another dress, this one in a light blue shade.I simply shrug. Giving up on me she turns to Rachel who has about fifteen different dresses hanging from her arm. “What do you think?”“For you? I think the blue one, though the pink one would look really nice on Alina”With a smile Mile tosses the dress, I catch it against my thighs before it hits the floor.We go about picking out more clothes, “I think this is more my style” I hold on to a long sleeves dress in red velvet.“These would be pretty too. It’ll look really nice with your hair and show off those babies.” she looks pointedly at my chest.Holding u

“Do I really have to tell you not to talk to strangers?” Oliver demands the moment we exit the store, his hazel eyes serious. I frown at him, “I’m not a child, I can take care of myself, especially with a mortal male, he was harmless” As a wolf, I’m physically stronger than a mortal, and I am training, I don’t know why he’s being like this. He just shakes his head. “Come on, let’s go join the others, we need to meet up with Noah soon” I tug my hand from him and match ahead a little annoyed. On our way outside the mall, we stop so Rachel can stock up on snacks, insisting she always gets hungry in the middle of the night, the guys go to check out our bags at the security. “Stay with them” Oliver shoots me a look before letting me leave. I glare at his back momentarily before going to join Rachel and Mile. “It is not just the hunger at night you know, I feel weird if I don’t have food around, it’s from when I was still casted out with my brother, roaming before Zayne found us. We we

“Zayne!” I press my palm to my chest trying to calm my heart, with the other, I brace myself against the door. “Damn it, you scared me” His eyes trail from my wet hair to where my towel is knotted on my chest, down my waist, and linger on my thighs before coming to my feet and then back up. I feel it as he looks at me, his gaze like a physical thing. “W-what are you doing here?” I question. His eyes burn the words mine against my skin. A caress against my skin. A stamp of ownership. His heated gaze sets me on fire, my cheeks flushed, the heat spreading down to my neck and chest, I feel it in my lower belly. “I heard you’ve been busy” his voice is deep. I swallowed then raise my chin, “I have no idea what you’re talking about” I say with false bravado. I’m so shocked at seeing him in my room I don’t know what I’m saying. “You and the pup,” He says slowly. My breath gets stuck in my tongue Right… I’d almost forgotten about that. And Noah saw us, not like

I want. Having his mouth there, his fingers on my hot flesh and his tongue licking me to completion have turned me into a bundle of raw need, I just want. I can’t stop wanting, I’ve been in a constant state of arousal since I had him in bed with me, it’s like being with him was the wakeup call I needed, whenever I close my eyes, I see him there, kneeling over me his gaze glued between my spread thighs and need pool betweent my legs. I can’t stop thinking of when we’ll do it again, because I know somehow, it’s not a matter of if but when. I am a mess. I’ve had to talk myself out of going for walks, wondering if I’d run into him and say what exactly? He is way out of my league I tell you, way out of my damn league. Not wanting to get tempted, I stay inside on Sunday. *** Mom is brushing my hair; the first time I heard about the silver ones I was five. My mother sat in front of a mirror in my room and while brushing my hair, told me about our foremother Amara and how she be

*** I chill a bit with my friends, not dancing and I dont touch another drink to have a clear head for tonight. When the crowd begins to thin, several people stumble into the woods, their hands already grabbing hungrily at each other. I head in Zayne’s direction when he stands up. It saves to say I’ve been looking at him, and he's eyes hardly left me so we're in the same boat. “Are we leaving now?” He nods, “Go say goodnight to your friends, you’re with me tonight” I try not to read into that as I march off to where Winnie and Mile are standing at the corner with Kent and Ian. “You guys can go on without me, I’m going to stay back for a bit,” I tell Winnie “Okay…” she drawls out “see you later then,” Winnie says with a hug. I know she’ll inform the others so I return to where Zayne is waiting for me at the entrance to the main lodge. “Come” clasping a hand around my wrist he leads me inside. I look around as he makes way for the staircase “Where are we going?” “To bed
