Hi, guys. Sorry for the late update. I am now back with back-to-back updates as I plan on finishing the book soon. So the price of chapter has increased. Normally, my chapters are between 2k to 3k. Do you think I should reduce it or you like it like that? I really feel for you readers❤️
JOE.I said what I said. I had to. I have been noticing the ongoing chemistry between them and there was no way I would allow the reaction.It is better I did since it would stop a lot of awkward situations. As I walked past the people laughing and chatting about some things I did not pay attention to, I searched around for that particular person I always loved to see but she was no where to be seen.Where was she?I approached Elris who was chatting with someone I did not know. I dragged away from her even though she tried to struggle against me.“What?” She gritted out.I swallowed hard before talking. “What of your best friend?” I asked.Her carved brows shot up at my question. I knew she would find fault in that question. “Shouldn’t you be nursing an heartbreak from Zoe? I did not know heartbreak hardly hurt like that. They must have exaggerated it a lot.” She clicked her tongue and I let her hands fall. She smiled a little happy at the expression on my face.“How many times do I h
ElRISTEYA.My eyes went wide open at the sound and I whirled around immediately. I soon relaxed when I saw that it was Lestiana who looked quite shocked too. I was too.My hands clutched unto the shirt in my chest and a sharp hiss cut through the air, making me swivel my head to Alec who seemed shocked at what had happened.Involuntarily, I found myself biting my lips and staring down at the bulge between his legs. He cleared his throat and walked away, slamming the door shut, not even giving me a glance or something.I closed my eyes and blew out a deep breath. I almost kissed my brother’s best friend. This must be really crazy. I must really be crazy.How the hell had I almost fallen into this temptation? I noticed his eyes on me during the time I was discussing with some people outside. I felt like every part of me was burning and it was like I was fully naked under his lingering gaze.Lestiana walked towards me and I took that chance to wear my shirt. She did not say anything and
.ELRISTEYA.“Did you hear?” I heard someone whisper as I slammed the door to my locker shut.“What?” Came the reply.“Kayden is coming back.” The feminine voice said, carrying a hint of excitement and fear.“What?!” I whirled around to the place with widened eyes and parted lips.Really? Kayden was coming back to school?Wow! Actually Kayden happened to be my long time crush and he has never noticed me which hurt quite a little.I strained my ears to listen to more. “Yes, I read it on the school cruise group chat.” The person said and instantly, I fished out my phone.When last did I check the school cruise group?I clicked on the school’s group icon and the hashtag #kaydenisback filled everywhere. I scrolled through the messages and saw that Kayden was yet to drop an official message of resumption.I knew he would not. He was not the type to announce such thing. He loved the crowd. He loved the attention and surprises.As if on cue, a loud voices of cheer filled the entire hallway an
.JOE.Lestiana was walking into the library. I hurried towards her and quietly followed her. It was high time we spoke about this.She took a seat at the far side of the library and I walked behind her, making sure she did not see me but she did because she whirled around with eyes narrowed. “What are you doing here?” Her voice came out sharp and it hit my chest like a blow.“I came to see you.” I replied, this time my voice was not shaking and I was not nervous. I need to settle this with her and this is the only chance I can get.She tilted her head to the side, wiggling her brows, telling me to start talking.Clearing my throat, I took a step forward and she moved backward. I paused at the action and moved again only for her to take a step backward again.My brows furrowed. “What are you -”“Get on with what you want to say, Larsen.” She hissed, her eyes hardened on me.I gulped hard.Why was she behaving like this?“Why have you been avoiding me?” My question came out direct and q
.ALEC.There was another Alpha in the school. That new boy who has decided that my mate was his new catch. I have been watching him closely. I do not know which pack he belonged but he seemed like a mateless Alpha. From what I have gathered from Joe, he had just returned after leaving school for some months.I know the reason he had to leave. It was the same reason that had me stalling my escape from the pack. The Alpha Moon which happens once in four years appeared and we needed to renew our Alpha sensitivity to the Moon Goddess. He had to leave for that. But if he was leaving for that, it took him so long to recover from the energy.A scoff slipped out of me before I could rein it in. I did not want to approach him directly since this was not my territory but he was going so far now. He was chasing after what is mine. My girl.When did she start being my girl?I shook my head to get rid of the fog in my eyes. All Hunter can see right now was red.Cool down, man.I walked toward the
.ELRISTEYA.Kayden has been giving me lots of attention which was strange for me. I mean, I was not complaining. I hardly ever get attention from guys but this... This was really suffocating if I want to be brutally honest with myself.I did not even know how he got my number but he did and now he would not stop disturbing me with early calls and messages which weirder for someone who is not his girlfriend. I could see all the girls glaring daggers at me any time he approached me for any small talks.In as much as I like the attention from my crush, I don’t want to create a trouble. As I got down from my father’s truck, I head inside the school’s compound and proceeded towards the locker to pick up some of my books before leaving for the library.As I settled down in the library, I noticed someone staring at me. Alec. I ignored him and continued to read since Lestiana is known for her horrible lateness. But a whistle which I was sure was directed at me and I forced my head up only to
.ELRISTEYA.Lestiana waved at me as she stepped into her car and I moved back for the car to drive away. I watched her leave and turned around to meet Joe where he was.As I walked through many students’ cars, I hardly paid attention to my surroundings. I began to hear someone yelling my name. I glanced around but saw no one.I shook my head and continued. Then a pat on my shoulder made me freeze. I spun around, only to see Kayden smiling.I removed the headset and I inclined my head to the side, waiting for him to speak but I caught something pink slowly creeping from his ears to his cheeks. He began to scratch the back of his neck as if he was nervous. The Kayden I knew never got nervous when it came to girls, in fact, he was the most confident when chasing the girl he wanted.But now... “Do you want to tell me something?” I asked, starting in case he did not know how to start.“Hmm, you see. I just wanted to ask you something.” He said and I nodded for him to continue. “But then I
.ALECANDER.I stared at the motherfucker. He was playing with me and I was not feeling him. He thinks he can touch my mate and go scot-free. I was going to have to deal with him.The bell for break rang and he was the first to leave the class. I dropped everything I was doing and rose to follow him but Samantha intercepted me and placed her dirty finger on my chest.“If you don't take that off, you would regret touching me.” I snapped silently, only for her to hear. As if my skin burnt her, she took her hands back and I brushed past her.Following the idiot, he walked into the quietest part of the hall and I was grateful that he did. I will be able to give him a piece of my mind.I walked faster and somehow knew that he knew that I was following him but he decided to play along. I liked it.I reached out for his shirt and he turned around with a knowing smirk. “You know being mated is one of your weaknesses.” He said and I glared daggers at him.“That is none of your business since you
