“Hey Bff”“Good morning Katelyn.”I hugged her back. Her hug was tight and she appeared happy. Well, at least one of us slept well. I sighed. I was trying so hard not to remember that in three days time, I’d be expected to show myself to the public. “How are you?”“I’m fine. I don’t need to ask you, you obviously are very happy this morning.”“Of course, I had a beautiful night’s rest and also, I can not wait to show off my wolf. She is so beautiful.”At my lack of enthusiasm and happiness, she frowned slightly. “What’s wrong? You had a bad dream last night?”“No. But I had a shitty night.”“Are you serious? Tell me about it, bff.”I did not want to tell her to slow down with the friendship thing, so I don’t hurt her feelings. But I felt she was rushing things between us. I knew she was sorry and she had apologized but bff? That was a title that should be deserved and we were just getting to know each other. Well, whatever she wanted. I was not even in the mood to be bothered by thi
Class had just finished and it was time for lunch. Katelyn had hooked my hand in hers and offered to see me off to the Salvatore cafeteria, I could not find a way to reject her offer. She has been nice to me especially noticing how moody I had been. Even when the lecturer had been teaching, it had been a struggle to listen. My heart would not stop beating in fear. How would I go about avoiding this class? What options were left for me? Or should I run away? Run away? No, that was a very bad Idea. It was the most stupid idea in the history of ideas. Where would I run to? I had no one to care for me outside of here. There were no family members outside of Stone Shadow pack. Running away was automatically becoming a rogue. Moreover, what about my mom? I did not need to be selfish, she would worry herself to death. I’d not even be comfortable wherever I went. My mind had been in a haze since yesterday. I even forgot my phone as we left the class for lunch, I had to go back to collect it b
“What? How come?”I turned to look at the boys. They were all shocked.“Does this happen often? Or has it happened before?”I asked them.“This has never happened before. A thief in Stone Shadow academy? Never.”Zach’s reply was certain and angry too. And I understood, this was his father’s school. Their family’s legacy. Such act would ruin their reputation. The integrity the school was built upon would be destroyed, all because some cheap thief could not control their urge to take people’s things. This was a despicable act.“Who is the owner of the lost phone, Katelyn?”Aaron stepped in. His expression was grim. I had never seen him harbor such emotion until now.“That girl there.”She pointed at a girl that seemed angry and was crying too. Aaron went to meet her and the rest of us followed him. Immediately she saw Aaron, she stood.“Good day Aaron.”My heart went out to the girl. Even though she was unhappy, she was still respectful and greeted Aaron according to his position in th
I wanted the ground to open and swallow me. No, it could not be. I was not a thief. “There is some major mistake. I did not put that there.”But the whole class was staring at me. The boys looked at me. Zach’s eyes held anger and disbelief. Lucas was looking lost and confused, there was the anger too. Trenton, his expression was accusing. I was scared of what I’d see in Aaron’s eyes but I had to force myself to look at him. He was disappointed and angry and accusing.“You!”He walked closer to me.“I did not do it. How could I have stolen something that is not mine?”“I remember she once admired your phone, didn’t she Lauren?”One of Katelyn’s friends asked the owner of the phone.“Yes, it’s true. She once admired the phone.”“Is this true?”Aaron’s voice was chilling. “Yes. But it was a harmless admiration. I had no plans to steal. I saw her pressing the phone and her wall paper attracted me. I walked to her and told her I liked her phone. She even offered it to me for a proper loo
The guy who had just walked in was the exact replica of Aaron. I had to wipe my eyes and make sure tears were not making my vision blurry to the extent where I was beginning to see double. But I was not seeing double. My eyes were not playing tricks on me, this guy was the spitting image of Aaron. In fact, he was the mirroring image of the guy. My problems forgotten, I stared dumbly at the guy.“What are you doing here?”Aaron’s voice was sharp and held zero emotion.“Is that any way to greet your twin brother after being far away for so long?”This new person. The Baron guy wore a cheeky look. There was this air of arrogance and confidence about him.“Baron, what are you doing here?”Lucas stood from his position. He clearly could not believe his eyes. This was the Baron guy Lucas had unintentionally mentioned one night, Aaron had scolded him for It and he apologized. It was conspicuous there was bad blood between Baron and his brothers, especially his twin brother.It was the first
“Can’t you just understand?”Aaron’s vein were very visible and they were enraged ones.“Understand what?”“It’s none of your business.”“We might be twins Aaron. But I deserve my respect. Don’t talk to me that way.”“If you want your respect, earn it by minding your business.”“And watch you bully the girl?”“I am not bullying anyone.”“What do you call this then?”“She did something bad. Something disgraceful.”No, I didn’t. I wanted to yell it as many times as was needed if it would make them finally believe that it was not me. I did not take that girl’s phone. I did not hide it in my bag. I did not take the girl’s phone. I did not hide it in my bag. I did not take the girl’s phone. I did not hide it in my bag. My mind chanted it repeatedly. I was not a thief, my mother did not give birth to a thief. Everyone was wrong about me. “How bad could it be to warrant such harshness from you?”“Why do you always do this?”“Do what, Aaron?”“You never believe me. You make me sound like som
BaronI was back to get my pound of flesh. Years of anger and depression had turned me into who I was today. I used to care so much about life. I was once enthusiastic and hopeful towards the future but all that changed when it happened. It changed when my own blood brother. Not just any kind of brother, but the one I’d shared a womb with decided to hurt me as much as he had over some silly mistakes that had not been worth the evil he did. I was back. I was back to ruin him as he had done me. I was going to make sure he had no peace as it had been denied me for years. He had hurt me. He had touched me where I never expected him to, and I was going to make him regret doing what he’d done to me. I was going to make life hell for him. He was here, enjoying all the finest things. I would not say I was suffering where I was. Financially, I was not. In fact, I was doing quite well for myself. But emotionally and mentally, I was broken. I was down. And he was the cause. My twin brother was
Luna ElizabethMeeting David was the best thing to have ever happened to me. He was the perfect mate for me. Yes, he was sometimes overbearing and annoying but I knew his feelings for me were genuine and he took care of me excellently. He made me feel wonderful and whole. His lavish gifts and frequent dinner dates were boundlessly overwhelming. It was like he was always trying to make me happy, to sweep me off my feet. Most importantly, he made my daughter feel belonged. Took care of her, gifted her a car and a phone. Constantly filling her closet with new clothes though knowing my daughter, she could care less about fashion. But I loved her regardless and my wish was to always give her a good life and I’m glad she’s having the best life. A stepfather who adores her, stepbrothers who bonded with her quickly. That had been my initial fear knowing how bringing kids who were adults and expecting them to become one and live in unity. I had been worried they’d make life hell for her but I
