#Chapter5The school week had zipped by quicker than I thought it would. Before I knew it, it was the weekend. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY HONEY!" A familiar voice woke me from my joyous dream.My eyes adjusting to brightly lit room, I reached for my phone to check the time. Seven forty-five in the morning?"You couldn't have waited until at least ten-thirty to wake me up?" I groaned, tossing the plush blankets back over my head."Fine, then I will eat this vanilla frosted lemon cake myself.""I'm up, I'm up." Rubbing the crust out of my eyes, I rose from my bed."Come down, I made breakfast.""Okay." A weird smile on my face, I tossed on a sports bra and some shorts, picked up my phone, and made my way down the stairs.My mom making me her famous breakfast always put a smile on my face. Her famous cheese eggs, pancakes topped with fruit, and maple syrup bacon.Walking into the kitchen, I hit with the remarkable scent of morning breakfast."Mmmmm." I groaned, almo
#Chapter6"Who is this calling from a blocked number?" I questioned my buzzing phone."Hello.""HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" A female's voice screamed from the other end of the phone."Jess?""One and only. What are you doing? You can't call nobody?" She questioned."I'm sorry, I've been too busy adjusting here.""I understand. So, what are you doing?""Well, I'm watching a little television until later.""Uh, what's later?" She questioned."Well I'm going to a party tonight with a friend, nothing major.""Out there trying to shake your ass, huh?" She joked. "I cannot wait to come visit you.""I know, I miss you too. When are you coming?""I'm free in a few more weeks. By then, I'll have the money to catch a plane there.""Great. So, we can catch up on everything.""Yess. Well, I am going let you get ready. Have fun and be safe. Love ya.""Ok, love ya. Bye."***Shit, Shit, ShitIt was already a quarter pass ten and Keira stated that she wou
#Chapter7ANIYAH POVAn aching pain pinched my sore knee and elbow. I groaned out. Even though my eyes were still shut tight, I could still feel the sun's warmth against my skin. Moving away from the light, I rolled over. Plush and soft, I wrapped the blankets around me to hide from the cool, circulating central air. My face hidden, I inhaled the warming scent of the fresh cotton and uncanny perfume.Wait..Where the hell am I at?Snatching the blankets from over my face. My eyes fighting the light for the opportunity to see, I noticed my surroundings.I shot up out of the bed.Bad idea.Hangover. I dropped back down onto the mattress and grabbed my now throbbing head.Maybe I should try this again, but slower.I opened my eyes back up to take in the room once more, hopefully to find a clue to tell me where I was. Spotting some familiar spiked high heels from last night on the floor, I knew where I was.Keira? I guess becoming used to Kiera we
#Chapter8JASON POV"If you assholes don't come on, I'm not going." I yelled up the stairs as I flopped down onto the couch."Oh relax, we're ready." Aaron assured as he ran down the steps.He slapped my shoulder. I let out a threatening growl which informed him I was not up for the dumb shit tonight.Aaron was the beta of my pack, the Black Water tribe and the mate of Keira, my sister. However, I reminded him I would not hesitate to rip his throat out."Why so tense Jason? Maybe a little action tonight from one of the lovely ladies at the club will ease some stress." Aaron always assumed a woman would satisfy me after a bad day. Especially since I did not have my mate."From the dumb ass day we had in those meetings, I will need it." I agreed.After long hours in careless meetings, the guys thought a night out would do us justice.Well, all the un-mated wolves thought."Jason always get action, girls can't stay away from him." Brent entered the room.
#Chapter9JASON POVI had laid in bed. Watching the sun rise, I could not find the time to fall asleep. I was too focused. Too anxious. I was drowning in vivid visions of her. Her beautiful frame. Her face. Her kissable lips and dazzling eyes, I could not erase her from my mind. Ecstatic that I had found my mate, I was a little discouraged about her being a human."Why couldn't you give me a she-wolf?" I whispered to the moon goddess.Despite our minor dilemma, the wolf in me was still howling with excitement. But this will be just as hard too.If my mate were a she-wolf, things would have happened. I would've saw her; she would have known and I would be on the road to marking her as mine without the hassle of explaining it all. But since she is a human, she will not understand. She does not get it. She does not know what she means to me. So, I have to take my time, even though it’s going to be difficult for me.I listened to the threatening footsteps near. I sm
#Chapter10ANIYAH POVThe next week was basically the same stuff. Classes, lunch with the girls, and oh, more classes. I refused to tell anyone, including Keira and Keisha what had happened between Jason and I. Honestly, I did not want to.It was now Friday, and I was ready to start my weekend off right. Keira, Keisha, and I decided we would go visit the local carnival today.Anxious, I got my mom to drop me off. My mom pulled up front of the house. I listened to her ask me what Keira’s parents does for a living. She found their house insanely large.Honestly, I wondered the same thing sometimes.After making up some insane story about Keira's parents being some rich software creators, I hopped out of the car and ran up to the door. Before I could even ring the bell, Keira was at the door with a silly smile on her face."Come on, we are waiting for you." She began tugging me into the door.She pulled me into the direction of a large room that looked sort of like a
#Chapter11Month later...Monday. Oh how I hate your ass. I cursed Garfield's most hated day on the way to school. I always considered Monday the 'Weekend Recovery' day. It's the day where people returned to reality from a weekend of parties, liquor, hangovers, sex and other shit they shouldn't have done.I walked in to the school and linked up with Keira and Keisha, who were standing near my locker. It's been a month of me being at this school and they still managed to stand to wait for me every day by my locker. I always called them stalkers because they always seemed to find me so easily. "What's up stalker?" I joked."Ha-ha bitch very funny." Keira hissed. "It's too early for your bulshit jokes.""Nothing like a morning joke." I laughed.I opened up my locker, snatched out my books, and closed my locker. I turned and looked at Keira. I could how different she looked. Exhaustion clearly being the suspect, I could see her struggling to look alive. I guess she thou
#Chapter12My mother laughing, she listened to her usual morning gossip on the radio as I scanned through the Internet on my phone."So why aren't you going to work again?""Oh someone broke into my office last night. The police are there now observing. They said it would be best if we were not there.""Really? What did they take?" I asked."So far, nothing that we know of. Everything just seemed to be thrown everywhere. I wont know for sure until I clean-up for myself.""Oh. That's weird."I stuffed my things into my back as we pulled up in front of my prison."See ya mom?" I yelled out as I ran toward the entrance of the school. Annoyed that I had missed a good half of my first class, I walked in with my head low. Ignoring the staring eyes, I kept my head down as I made my way to my seat."Nice for you to finally join us Ms. Ross. We were just finished picking partners for the upcoming project. There's only one person left, Carl. Do you mind partnering with
