"She did what?!" Cami screeched as she sat in the chair next to me."Yeah, and Killian had her evaluated by a doctor and sent to a mental institution," I told my best friends as we sat in chairs while Master Emiliano and Mistress Bernadette did our hair."I think I would have done far worse," Evelyn piped up as she side-eyed me. "To think that she thought the King was going to choose her to be his mate because he played games with her as a child," "She is disturbed I just hope she can get the help she needs," I uttered as I watched Bernadette straighten my hair."You know that Killian had invitations sent out to all the packs?" Cami sipped her iced tea as she looked over at me."To all the Alphas, I know," I spoke up as I grabbed a glass of tea from one of the maids."No, to everyone who wanted to see their King get married," Cami retorted as she squeezed a wedge of lemon into her drink."Yes, have you heard about Jayla Stewart?" Evelyn asked as she started to flip through the pages
"Hello?" I answered the phone as I opened the back door. "Camilla?""How are you Phemie?" Cami rang out on the other end. "Are we still on for this weekend?""Of course, I can not wait to see you and the kids," I beamed making my way to the back patio, Killian had built shortly after we married."Yes, Luis is going crazy about seeing your twins, and a wonder that we are both pregnant at the same time, what luck," Cami laughed as she grabbed her son in her arms. "And Evelyn is coming to, she called right before you did," I paused as I moved the phone away from my ear. "Amber Nykole and Adrian Nathan stop running around before you both fall!" I yelled to my twins as I watched them chase each other. "These kids," I giggled watching my husband carrying our one-year-old in his arms."My sweet Brynn Leigh, go on and have fun with your siblings," Killian whispered sweetly into the curly blonde-haired little girl's ear as she giggled and fell. "How are my loves doing?""Camilla and Evelyn ar
"Euphemia, did you hear me?" Shouted my best friend, Camilla, as she moved her dark brunette hair out of her face. "No, sorry!" I whisper-shouted as I clutched my binder to my chest while moving around the crowd to our lockers. Camilla and I have been best friends since elementary school, we have been each other's rock. Especially, when her father passed away last year, and my mother ran away with the Alpha of another pack. "Girls! Did you not hear me?" Evelyn lightly punched my shoulder as I reached the lockers with her coming from behind me. "What's going on?" I asked in confusion as I turned the knob to my locker. "Oh, please, like you didn't hear Karter Jenkins was nominated for homecoming king," Evelyn giggled as she shut my locker just as I slipped my book inside. Evelyn moved here six years ago, and we all became instant friends. She twisted her shoulder-length bright red hair between her fingers as she eyed me up and down. "That's what I said!" Cami playfully slapped Evel
As I waited by the double doors to the entry of the school I saw Karter's beat-up old red truck his grandfather left him. As he drove in and headed to where I was standing I caught the ending of his conversation. "Mom, Jayla is all over me. No, I can't, I won't. Because I am, Bye Mom," He quickly hung up the phone and stuffed it into his jean pocket as he noticed me standing uneasy. "Good morning, Euphemia," He grinned, that smile could make any girl weak in the knees and it did. "Phemie," I said quietly, barely intelligible unless you had wolf ears. "Pardon?" He asked, even though I know he could hear. He rounded a car and made his way to my side extending his arm for me to take. "You can call me Phemie," I managed to choke out, staring at his arm and then back up into those lovely dark brown eyes. "Sure, Phemie, this is the part where you take my arm, and we walk into school together. Don't worry, I won't bite... hard," He winked as he took my hand, draped it over his arm and we
"Phemie, thanks again for coming over last night," Cami put her hand on my shoulder as we made our way through the crowd of the long hallway. "Sorry about my brothers, I never knew how bad they both liked you until they started serenading you," Her big brown eyes got expansive as the corner to one side of her mouth came down in pure embarrassment. "Yeah, I'm just glad your mom came in with a broom when she did," I laughed remembering the sight of Mrs. Luciana hitting both boys over the head until they left the room. "Phemie, hey wait up!" Came the voice I loved hearing, the soothing way my name rolled off his tongue was like magic. "Hey, I was looking for you at the doors, I wanted us to walk into school together every day," He jogged over as he grabbed up my arm snaking his through his. "So, I'll walk you to your locker and I'd like to meet up for lunch again if that's cool?" He asked as we turned the corner, everyone's eyes were upon us and I could guess what they were thinking. Wh
"Sorry, I couldn't find anything at your aunt's boutique, Cami," I stated, grabbing my bag from the backseat. "Well, not everyone can wear Fiesta Boutique's dresses," Camilla shrugged as she stood by the large fern next to the doors of the school. "Are you going to try another place?" She asked putting a sucker in her mouth. "Yeah, I'm glad you and Evelyn found your dresses though," I smiled as I waved toward Jesse and Evelyn heading in our direction. "Phemie, hey, sorry you couldn't find a dress," Karter surprised me walking up from behind. "Shall we?" He asked as he held up his arm for me to take. "I'd like to talk to you at lunch," I nodded my head and watched Jesse kiss Evelyn on the cheek before leaving for his class. Karter however took me off guard by grabbing my hand and kissing it. "I..I...I am dreaming, that didn't just happen. Did it?" I stuttered as I held my hand to my chest. "It did now come on before you have a heart attack," Cami giggled as she shook her head whi
"Phemie, over here!" Evelyn waved as she held onto Jesse's arm as they stood by the doors to the school. I made my way over to my best friends when I feel an arm draped over my shoulders. "Hey, you!" Came the sultry voice of my long-time crush. We did get a little closer over the weekend, after he took me dress shopping we stopped for ice cream. Saturday morning he showed up at my door with coffee and donuts, and we spent the entire day together. Sunday he came over that afternoon and took me out for lunch and we spent most of the day at the park. It was amazing, the most fun I had in a long time, and to think it was all spent with Karter Jenkins! "I had a great time over the weekend," He whispered close to my ear. "Well, you two look cozy," Cami eyed us both before winking. She quickly turned around and sashayed into the overly crowded hallway. The stares kept coming like they had when Karter first asked me to walk into the school with him, but I didn't care anymore. Okay, well, may
"Phemie!" Karter yelled out as he jogged his way over. He seemed a bit disheveled, his blonde hair was matted to his temples, his face had a tinge of pink, and his beautiful brown eyes were now bloodshot. "Phemie can I talk to you?" He asked as he grabbed my elbow and pulled me to the side. "We've gotten to know each other I think, and if I'm honest I've started to fall for you, Euphemia. I wanted to know if you wanted to make it official?" All I could do was smile, I couldn't speak, I couldn't move, everything I ever wanted I was finally getting, remembering Mrs. Maisel's words. "Phemie, you're doing it again," He chuckled as he brushed my blonde hair out of my dark blue eyes. "Is that a yes? I'll take that as a yes," He grabbed the back of my neck and kissed me. My first kiss, with my crush, could this be any more perfect? "I'll see you later okay? No matter what happens I'm taking you to prom," He leaned down and kissed my hand before making his way inside the school. "Phemie, what
