#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
#Chapter13Exiting the car, I followed her to the back of the large house. I spotted everyone having a good time. Keisha was lying in a chair on the other end of the pool, I guess trying to catch a tan. AJ and Brent were wrestling wildly in the pool, and Aaron was operating the grill.But Jason wasn't here."Looks whose here." AJ stalked over to me."No, wait." Knowing exactly what he was up to, I held my hands up in defense. "I still have my clothes on.""You have five minutes then you're going in." Brent insisted that I remove my dry clothing before I get tossed in."Trust me, they will do it. They got me earlier." Keisha yelled from across the pool."Fine." I sighed. I slipped off my shirt and shorts, revealing my black and white pokka dot bikini.Without another second to spare, Brent had picked me up and tossed me in to the pool. Luckily I could swim because he made sure I was tossed straight in to the deep end.We spent hours in the pool. It was fun.
#Chapter14Aniyah__Yawning, I reached under my pillow and grabbed my buzzing phone. Groaning out in annoyance, I realized that I never shut my alarm off.It was seven and I was wide awake now on a Sunday morning. Great! I headed downstairs to fix me something to eat. I slipped on my black tank top and black boy shorts and dragged myself down in to the kitchen."Good morning?" My mother greeted me as I walked in."Well you beat me to the punch." I said smiling as I watched her scrambling some eggs.Good, because now I don't have to cook. I pulled a stool back from the kitchen island and sat down. She was making bacon, cheese eggs, and blueberry pancakes.YUM!!Wait... But why? She only did this when there was something special going on. "Mom, what's going on?" I gave her a questioning look."What do you mean?" She played coy."Mom.""Fine. I give in. Next week I am going to Florida for a week. That’s it. Business.""Okay, what day are we leaving.
#Chapter15"Okay, Aniyah, I left money on your card and emergency numbers in your wallet." My mom informed me as she ran through the house. "Okay." I said, picking up my duffle bags."I dropped Drea off at Samantha's dog care so if you want to see her, the number is in your wallet also.""Okay."My mother picked up her suitcases and walked out the front door with me not too far behind. Waiting outside was a cab she had called that would take her to the airport. Keira was waiting as well. She handed her suitcases to cab driver then turned toward me."Okay Aniyah I love you and be safe. I'll be back next Sunday at the latest.""Mom. Okay. Have fun." I said. Even though it was only business, I just hoped she could find some time to have a little fun.She smiled at me and gave me a quick hug. She waved at Keira then hopped into the cab. The cab peeled off and I watched it until it disappeared down the street.I picked up my duffle bags and tossed them into the
#Chapter16JASON__"Where the fuck did you find this?" I snapped."It was in the woods next to a dead wolf." Brent brought to my attention. "On my patrol, I picked up the scent of a vampire, so I followed it. I found a dead pack member with this note right next to her."I looked down at the letter again. I took a few deep breaths, struggling to contain my rage."Who was it?" I questioned. "The pack member.""Her name was Jocelyn."The name rung like bells in my head repeatedly until it hit me. The bartender from the club.What the fuck is going on? I snatched up the letter and ran out the back door and into the woods. I refused to shift because I knew my wolf would take control and get the best of me…ANIYAH__"Dad, let's go, we are going to be late." I stepped into my mother and father's walk-in closet.I watched him adjust his tie and add his cufflinks. With his eyes focused on me in the mirror, I watched a smile grow. He turned around with a soft g
