MiaWhich one of them did I find attractive? I snorted at the question. That was ridiculous. What sort of person asked that kind of question from the girl he claimed to love? Why would he care if I liked any of his brothers if he intended to get me for himself? That was stupid, as far as I was concerned.Why did I even care if he was stupid or not? That made it sound like I wanted him to pursue me as a love interest. I wouldn't even want that for my enemies, much more myself. Knowing that I was safe and hadn't been marked, I moved back to my bed and went to sleep peacefully.The next day, I was reading a novel on my phone after lunch when I heard a knock on the door. I was scared and my heart started pounding hard in my chest when I thought that it was Jack again.I didn't think that he would be back again and I thought that I had finally chased him off with the threat of going public with our past. Didn't he ever give up? I thought that he had. He hadn't even looked at me during br
Mia"Tell me everything that I've missed." I said to Anna over the phone as I sat in my room, twiddling my fingers.We had resolved our differences, missing each other greatly after I transferred to another school. Unable to cope with my absence in school and also her life, she had come over to my house and we had talked. It had been easy laying the sleeping dogs to lie as the demon triplets weren't around to cast their shadow on our friendship again and burden Anna with the weight of guilt she always carried around me ever since the incident.We had both gotten over it and bonded though we had to move far away from each other because of college. I couldn't move too far because of my mum but Anna hadn't had such restrictions. She had traveled abroad to study and we only communicated on phone and saw each other only when she came home for holidays.I had missed her and still did. I missed her more now, with the way my life seemed like it was spiraling out of my control with the presenc
QuinnI was bored. Asides that, I was driving myself crazy with all the recent happenings ever since we found Mia again. The leave we had asked for was almost over and for the first time since I joined the force, I didn't feel like going back immediately.I wanted to stay at home. But what would I be staying at home for? I had no idea of what would be. I wanted to stay at home for Mia but she didn't want me to be with her. Fuck that, she didn't want me around her and that was turning my head loose in more ways than one. What was going on with me?I was confused and angry and loved still the myriads of emotions that little vengeful human wrought in me and it was so funny that I felt this way. I had always been cold and reserved, knowing how to put away my emotions and think which was why I was the leader of the triplets, asides that I was born earlier than the other two.I didn't know what was wrong with me but one thing was certain. I needed to drive these thoughts away from my head a
MiaI should have known that something was up with the way the triplets sat beside me at breakfast today and couldn't take their eyes off me. Well, they hardly took their eyes off me any day and I only always pretended not to notice. Today though was different. They had their eyes on me more than they had on their meals.I couldn't take it anymore. I couldn't pretend not to notice this. They were creeping me out. I could barely eat with the intense way they all stared at me. My stomach was getting unsettled with their looks and they were making me lose my appetite.I had noticed that the triplets always did the same thing at the same time and I wondered how they did it. Did they have a meeting before the start of the day about how they were going to behave or they had a telepathic communication between them and they discussed every minute in their heads?I snorted in my head. I hadn't read about wolves having mental communicative abilities and I knew that couldn't be it.Could it be
MiaI knew they weren't going to forgive me if I stopped them from getting some action tonight. It wasn't like I cared if they got laid or not or who they slept with but I figured that I wouldn't have to welcome any unwanted visitor in my bedroom if they got laid and well fucked.I knew what the women were doing. They wanted to get close to me to gain the boys' attention. I snorted. If only they knew that I had no say in who the triplets would like. It wasn't like they would ask for my opinion and I also didn't care to give it.I felt uncomfortable with their fake show of love after a while and was already thinking of a reason to leave after the birthday celebration. The friends of the boys invited me to join them for a drink, and I had no choice but to stay. After that night in high school that I had joined the boys to drink and ended up getting raped by an unknown person, I had stayed off alcohol but tonight I was breaking my promise to myself.The boys were getting social with the
Mia"Fine." Jack sighed, making a signal to one of his friends who were nearby.I didn't care what he had to tell him. Maybe he wanted to tell him to help them extend their farewells to the celebrant since he was nowhere to be found near them.This was the guy next to them and their safest bet. I didn't care what he had to tell him as long as we got home in the next twenty minutes.The guy came over, his eyes sparkling with lust as he looked me over. I could tell that he wasn't drunk or I would have made that as an excuse for him. His eyes were clear though when he turned to direction of the boys and I knew that they hadn't seen what I had seen.What a sly bastards like the triplets, like the ladies who wanted to use me for their own benefit. I had no doubt that anyone who was close to the triplets was a red flag that I needed to avoid."Are you busy, Matt?" Jack asked me."Not really." Matt replied. "Do you need my help?""Of course." Jack replied. "We all need your help. Could you p
John I cursed at her. She was stubborn, too thick-headed for her own good. I couldn't believe that she wouldn't apologize even when she was facing death.Her pride was much more than that of a werewolf. She was strong.Damn, I watched as her struggles in the water grew weaker and she began to sink. "Shit," I cursed to myself.I had thought that she could swim and was only acting dramatic because she wanted us to save her. I knew of ladies who intentionally acted dumb and helpless when guys were present so they could be treated as damsels in distress.I felt stupid. I should have known that Mia wasn't like that. I was perplexed. Who couldn't swim at her age?Before I could do anything, I felt someone whiz past me and I realized that it was Quinn who had jumped into the water to save Mia. His expression was serious as he dove into the water and I glanced back when I heard someone grumbling behind me. I saw a lady scowling and cursing as she picked herself off the ground. Apparently,
John "Mia drowned in a pool." He finally said. "We are at the hospital."Dad must have had his own phone on speaker because I heard Mia's mum shout. "You stupid boys." Dad growled. He was angry and rained a tirade of insults at all of us over the phone, knowing that we were near Quinn and could hear."I told you to take care of her." He fumed. "How did you let her drown?"We couldn't even use the excuse that we wanted to use. We were all ashamed of ourselves and knew we deserved dad's raging words."Which hospital are you dummies at?"Quinn told him and he clicked off the call. When he arrived at the hospital, he angrily scolded us, berating us for not protecting Mia.We hung their heads, remaining silent. We knew how precious Mia was to dad but we didn't know he would flare up this much. Mia's mother was the one who felt sorry for us and tried to calm our father's emotions. "What happened at the party?" Dad asked, looking at all of us but no one was willing to talk.We were sorry
