Falling for the wolf 51
The sound of the birds woke me up. Through the window, I could see the daylight. My clock showed seven in the morning.No way! Kessler, beside me, hugged me while he slept peacefully. I smiled seeing him like that, tempted not to go to school and spend the whole morning with him, making breakfast together, and spending the day doing something fun. Wow, I think I'm falling for Kessler Walton more than I expected.I kissed him on the cheek, causing him to stir."What time is it?" he asked."Seven," I replied."Damn, we'll be late," he said, looking at me. "Good morning, kitty, how are you? You look beautiful.""Don't be a liar. I wake up with messy hair and bad breath.""That's not true, and I have a mega sense of smell."I rolled my eyes. Kessler pounced on me and started tickling me."N-no," I gasped as I laughed. "Kessler, my dad might come!""Eva?" My dad's voice made us freeze in silence."Yes? I'm awake," I said."You'll be late for breakfast," he said."I'll be down in five minut

"Water this part, and I'll water over here," Lottie tells me. We were in the small garden we had made with the teacher. Despite everything, we couldn't let it go neglected, or we'd fail. The seedling was planted, and now it was our job to water it daily and adjust the soil. Honestly, I don't know much about these things; Lottie is the expert.The soil was damp from the overnight rain. The weather was cold as usual, with no sun in sight, always giving a cloudy, bluish appearance. It was beautiful, but sometimes I needed some sun on my skin. This time I brought my yellow jacket just in case, the gray clouds above the town and some distant thunder warned me it might rain."I think it's ready," I said, standing up. "Let's go to class.""Wait a moment..." Lottie washes her hands. "I was talking to Lucas, and I couldn't help but tell him what you said," she pursed her lips."Yes, he told me. It's okay, I'm not upset. It doesn't matter.""Are you sure?" she wanted to know."Yes, Lottie, it's

Saying I'm disappointed is an understatement."What do you want us to do?" Lottie inquires."To be honest, I don't know anymore. I don't know what to do or what to think.""Talk to him, maybe it's something important.""How important can it be to come to Lottie's house?" I wanted to know. We still haven't gotten out of the car. I'm afraid of finding something worse. Although Lucas wouldn't deceive me... if Kessler and Riley are up to something strange, my brother would have my back... right?"I don't know... maybe it's work-related, their parents are friends.""Let's find out," I said, carefully opening the door and stepping out. Lottie did the same. We walked stealthily along the huge wall until we reached a tree. Luckily, the tree was close to the wall so we could climb it and see the other side."This is very risky," Lottie murmurs. "What if we get caught?""Nothing will happen. Kessler should be the one afraid, not me," I began to climb the tree carefully. There were some ants cra

"What do we do now?" Lottie inquires. I continue opening my lunchbox, unconcerned about Kessler coming over."Act natural," I said calmly."Don't worry, I'm here to protect you," Jonny said, which I found very kind of him.I smiled at him in gratitude."That's what I'm here for, to take care of her," Kessler's voice sounded angry, tense. He put his hand on my shoulder and sat next to me. There was silence in the air."I thought we were going to have lunch together," he murmured."I'm already having lunch with Jonny and Lottie. If you'll excuse me, I want to have a peaceful meal," I said, giving him a cold look. Kessler frowned, seeming to not believe that I was speaking to him like that."What's wrong, Eva?" he wanted to know. "Why are you acting like this? What did this jerk tell you?" he pointed at Jonny."Nothing, Kessler. He didn't tell me anything. In fact, don't you have something to tell me?" I looked at him seriously. Kessler was trying to guess what was bothering me. It showe

I didn't know whether to believe everything Kessler said... at least most of it. I believe Riley's story, I think he's capable of that and much more. But with Kessler... there's the fact that he lied to me."Eva, I wouldn't deceive you. I just wanted to protect you and keep you from getting stressed about all this. I don't want to see you worried. Leave it to me. I'll take care of Riley and his pack.""When did we get into this situation? Will there ever be a moment without any kind of problem?""I'm sorry," he murmured, gazing at the road, looking sad and vulnerable.Ugh! I can't believe the immense power Kessler has over me. I can't see him like this because it makes me want to hug him and make him feel better.Stay strong, Eva, stay strong. Despite everything, Kessler lied to you."I want to go back to classes," I told him."Eva, tell me we're okay, please," he took my arm, "Even if you don't want to, I'll always be close to you. So it's better if you accept me willingly because oth

I opened my eyes with some difficulty. My back hurt, and I felt my breathing was labored. I couldn't quite remember what happened; all I could feel was the heaviness of my body and the pain in it. I was in a hospital bed, and as my vision cleared, I sat up. I had an IV drip, a neck brace, and some glass cuts on my arms.Then I started to remember what had happened: the wolf and Kessler. That huge wolf had thrown me with great force towards Kessler's car, and after that, I didn't remember anything.God, I thought I was going to die. I took a deep breath, feeling the pain in my chest as I breathed.Where is everyone? I looked around to find the button to call the nurses, and when I found it, I pressed it.Dad must be really worried; I hate giving my father worries. The door opens, and a nurse appears."Good morning, Miss Bailey, how are you feeling?""Sore," I said. "Is my father around?""Yes, your brother and your boyfriend too. They've been waiting all night for you to wake up.""I w

I return home with a bittersweet feeling. The comforting smell of my room is a balm to my wounded soul, but the truth I now know weighs on me like a millstone. I sit on the edge of my bed, watching the patterns of shadows dance on the walls as night falls over the town.My mind is full of unanswered questions and shocking revelations. Can I trust Kessler after all? And what about my own brother, Lucas, whose secrets now threaten to change everything? Confusion and fear swirl inside me, forming a whirlwind of emotions that threatens to engulf me.I wonder what I should do next. Should I confront Kessler and demand answers? Or should I keep silent and try to find a way to reconcile the truth with my feelings for him? And then there's my brother, Lucas, whose fears and internal struggles are now apparent to me. How can I help him deal with his new reality as a wolf, when I can barely deal with my own?As I delve into a sea of thoughts, one thing becomes clear: the decisions I make from n

We step out into the backyard, bundled up in coats to protect ourselves from the cold that seems to penetrate to the bone. The sky is dark and threatening, with heavy clouds announcing the imminent arrival of rain at any moment.The air is charged with electricity, and I can feel the tension in the atmosphere as we watch the swirling clouds above us. The wind blows gently, carrying with it the fresh smell of wet earth and anticipating the rain that is about to come.We sit on some old garden furniture, looking out at the gray and gloomy landscape with a mixture of melancholy and anticipation. Despite the unpleasant weather, there's something comforting about being outdoors, facing the storm together."I think we should head inside," suggests Lottie, rising cautiously as the first drops of rain begin to fall. "I don't want you to catch a cold after everything you've been through."I nod resignedly, feeling the weight of exhaustion and pain in my body as I stand up to follow her back to
