ThomasI ran down the flight of stairs heart palpitating, anxiousness written all over my face. "I heard it too," Rory affirmed, as we doubled our pace. We had been sitting in the dining hall downstairs, when I suddenly heard a loud noise in the ladies bathroom.Although I wasn't supposed to hear, due to the distance, I did. Our wolves senses were heightened, and that included that of hearing."What is going on here?!" Lazarus yelled, but stopped short at the sight of Elise who was running up the stairs, towards our direction."Elise?" I arched a brow, and halted, studying her. Her face was pale, and her body was drenched. The towel which she draped around her body was totally soaked.I gulped when my gaze landed on the outline of her twin peaches. I quickly averted my focus, upwards to her face, noticing the large teardrop that stood on her eyes.Rory spoke first, "What in goddess's name happened?" He curled his fists, and supported her up the stairs."I....I..." She
EliseI remained seated on my bed, even after the departure of the two guys. Thomas was seated opposite me, with a somewhat nervous expression on his face.He was looking everywhere. Everywhere but my face of course."Are you fine?" The words were out before I could stop myself. Those words definitely wasn't what I wanted to ask.He nodded. "I am." And then, silence.My hands were curled and on my lap, as my mind wandered to what had happened back in the bathroom."Are you fine?" Thomas asked, jolting me from my thoughts. "Excuse me?" I arched my brow."You just shuddered." He said, his eyes filled with worry."Oh, I'm fine." I literally lied through my teeth. However, his eyes said he didn't believe me at all.Just then, a knock came at the door, and made me jump."We are back." Rory said, walking in with a tray filled with dishes and Lazarus tailing him."That was fast." I forced a smile."We are fast." Lazarus chuckled in his calm and quiet manner. That was wha
Lazarus"Is there anything else you want to talk about?" Elise asked, making me look at her. I sighed, knowing what I was going to say might anger her a bit. Hell, it was going to anger her so bad.But I knew I had to restrict her movements around the correctional center. At least, until she could fight decently. At the moment, she was weak, and couldn't hold her own yet against others.That was what I and the others had gone outside to discuss."You need to stop going around on your own," I began, waiting with bated breath for her reaction.I wasn't ready however, when she let out a chuckle."That's the same thing I'm saying, isn't it? You guys would protect me, isn't it?" She asked with gleaming eyes.I looked at the others, their eyes mirroring surprise which I knew was evident in mine. I cleared my throat, putting on a blank expression again. I had to be firm."That's not it." I said, and she frowned. Without giving her a chance to say a word, I continued. "We mean, yo
Rory"But you knew that was unnecessary, right?" I turned towards Thomas, referring to his little tiff with Lazarus earlier on."I couldn't help it." He shrugged."Are we cool?" I asked, not taking my eyes off him. He whirled around, and fixed me a stare."We've always been." He smiled, and I grinned. Thomas had always been an introvert kind, and seeing him smile like that was a relief.The glass door opened, and Elise walked out, with a towel draped around her body, and another around her shoulders."Hey," I attempted to strike up a conversation. She ignored me, looking around. "He's gone." Thomas said. I shook my head in realization."Lead the way then, or do you guys have to piggyback me?" She muttered, sarcastically. "Elise..." Thomas began saying when she interrupted him."Don't patronize me." She snapped, and turned to me. "Lead the way." She said with an eye roll.With a resigned sigh, I led the way upstairs, with Thomas tailing her."Do you guys have to watch me
EliseI tossed and turned on the bed. I finally forced myself to a sitting position, and grabbed at my wristwatch which was lying on the bedside table.Glancing at the time, I winced. Did I actually sleep for twelve hours straight?! It was already two am in the morning, and I just woke up.The light breathing in the background, made me turn around, only to see the guys lying on their various beds.At the sight of their vulnerable sights, my heart warmed, and I actually forgot about my anger at them.Temporarily though. I made to scramble off bed, as noiselessly, as I could, and walked out of the room.The corridor was a bit dark as I walked along it, on my way outside. As I walked, I couldn't help but marvel at the decor of the correctional center.From the exterior, it didn't look one bit like a place where people were held for reprimanding. It was plain and modest though. But breaching it, into the center itself, was where the antithesis started.It was built in the shape
EliseI stared harshly at his face, and wished I could scratch at it.Yes, that was what I badly wanted to do.I was sure that I was quite pretty, no, more than pretty.My looks was acceptable, and I was well endowed.Then, why was giving me the cold shoulders? I was supposed to have my way, right?I took a sideways glance at Thomas, who pursed his lips. I wish his gaze would meet mine, so I'd tell him not to tell Lazarus what happened downstairs."Take a bath, and come down for breakfast." And with that, he walked out. Rory followed, seconds later, after throwing me a small smile."You can follow. I'll be fine on my own." I said, and without waiting for his response, I walked into the room.Minutes later, I joined others downstairs for breakfast. I spotted Lazarus, few tables away from where I was seated.The dining hall had a cafeteria kind of setting.A petite girl smiled at me, and I took an instant liking to her. "What's your name?" I asked, as I bit into a sticky bake
RoryThe morning dawned bright and clear. I took an early shower, and headed downstairs. I wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone at all.My mood was totally in the dumps, and I felt like smacking the living daylights out of someone.I heard a loud noise downstairs, and ran down. Ever since that stuff happened to Elise at the bathroom, we had been keeping close eyes on her. Nothing bad could happen.When I got down, I saw two ladies at their fighting best.What the fuck was happening?I moved closer, and saw two girls shouting their lungs out, and clutching each other's hair.Rolling my eyes in disgust, I made to leave, when my eyes spotted a familiar figure.That girl...What was her name again? Jennifer!I paused and dipped my hands into my pocket while watching them.She was the one... The one who had talked with Elise at the gym few days ago.."You bitch! You really thought I would let you go scot-free, after slapping me, yesterday, didn't you?" The other girl screame
LazarusI headed back to the room, after confirming that Elise was under Thomas's watch.Since our little argument that day, we hadn't spoken that much. I bumped into Rory on the way."Hey man," he halted at my front."Where are you headed?" I asked him."Outside. Elise made a new friend. Name's Jenny." He winked and breezed downstairs before I could ask for details.I shook my head, and went into the room, for a really cold shower. Maybe a nap would help me relieve all the thoughts that filled my head these days.There was no one in the room when I walked, and I headed straight for the bathroom. As I bathed, my mind flashed to the encounter back at my pack with my stepmother, when I couldn't shift.FLASHBACK"That is your reward for talking back at me." Wendy hissed.The other werewolves looked at the spectacle which was unfolding in front of them, while whispering in hushed voices."Did you just slap me, mother?" I raised my head, and stared at the woman in front of
