“Did you understand any of that?” I asked Seth at the end of the lecture.“What was there not to understand?” He asked with a frown.“Right? You looked a little lost so - that’s- ah, that’s why I asked,” I lied with a tight smile. It would be embarrassing to admit I didn’t understand half of what was said.“You didn’t understand.” It was a statement more than a question. “How can you be lost in a basic introduction to biology class?” He shook his head and I scowled.“It’s not - it’s not basic, okay? It’s the first class so it’s okay to be confused!” I grumbled, stuffing my book into my bag. I gave up taking notes halfway in to concentrate on the many strange things spewing out of the lecturer’s mouth but still ended up confused.I felt a little dejected after that. Being left behind in class, looking like an absolute moron was something I feared and it seemed to be happening already. If it was a basic introduction and I didn’t even grasp it, then was there any hope for me? I’d gotten

As the growls subsided, I pulled away from Ethan’s embrace but he tried to hold me back.“It’s not pretty. Don’t look,” he said but I resisted, pulling away from him to behold the scene in front of me.“Wow,” I could not help but exclaim as I looked at the bloody scene. “Are they dead?” I asked, taking a step forward but Ethan pulled me back.Blood sprayed in all directions, coating the fallen brown leaves in vibrancy. Their bodies lay askew, limbs twisted in unnatural directions. Their blood continued to seep into the ground and I shivered but not from fear. I was amazed. It took less than two minutes to cause so much damage, so much chaos.It was the pure, unadulterated power of an Alpha and I wondered – can I ever grow to this level? Would I ever tap into even half of this strength? I too carried an Alpha wolf but Grace could not do even half of this damage.It made me want to train harder, get better, so that next time, when idiots like these approached me, there would be no need

“Why does it sound like you haven’t eaten all day?” Xander frowned and my stomach growled again, this time, a lot louder than it first did.‘Tell your stomach to shut up!’ I yelled at Grace and I felt she must have rolled her eyes. ‘I told you to eat but you didn’t and now it’s my stomach?’ She scoffed.“It’s because I haven’t eaten all day,” I admitted in defeat. “I was a bit nervous for today so I couldn’t think of putting anything in my stomach.”“You? Nervous?” His brow raised. “I find it hard to believe you’re still the same Selene I know.”My heart stuttered at that. Would he find out I was not the original Selene!?‘Xander is not Omni – what do you call it?’ Grace started. ‘Is it Omni-knowing? Anyway, he’s not that! How can he even imagine the absurdity of what happened with you?’ “Maybe it’s because you don’t actually know me,” I responded to Xander and it was the truth. The person he knew was long gone and in her place was someone more interested in living than chasing a

I faked an emergency to get away from the male lead who had started to talk nonsense. We were done with our meal so I rushed to stand but as I did, he did too, a tight smile on his lips and an indescribable look in his eyes.“You’re running away,” he said.“Running? Do you see me running? I’m standing right here, aren’t I?” His brow raised but I turned away and speed walked out of the place leaving him to settle the bill.As I exited the restaurant, I met the waitress from the previous restaurant who had changed out of her work clothes and was now on her way home. She stopped when she saw me, her gaze assessing me up and down, making me feel small.Grace growled in annoyance and I remembered who I was so I put my hands on my hips and looked her up and down with a sneer of disgust like the one on her face.“You think he loves you, huh?” She spat out, walking towards me. I held my ground, glaring at her. “Don’t be deceived, you’re nothing to that guy. He’ll toss you out like trash when

“Seth!”I met a familiar face at the clinic. The guy from my first class turned to me with his trademark bored expression but when he saw me, his eyes lit up a bit. Yet, when he opened his mouth to speak, he sounded like he was talking to a stranger.“Hello,” he said in a monotone. “How can I help you?” I faltered then frowned.“Have you forgotten who I am?” I asked. I’d forgotten to contact him since that day but he occasionally crossed my mind and I even planned to contact him so we could plan our study hours.“Selene, right?” He asked and relief made me nod in a hurry. “Why are you here?” The relief morphed into surprise at the question spoken with a hint of hostility.“Well, I’ll be volunteering here starting Monday,” I said.I’d gone to the vet clinic to receive a briefing on what was expected of me and to conclude my volunteering hours. I also received a few supplies from the clinic.It was clear Seth also volunteered here and when I saw him, I felt a bit of relief at having a

When I learnt the original Selene planned to pursue veterinary medicine, I thought she did it for Xander. After all, her whole life seemed to revolve around him but I learnt that Xander was pursing a bachelor's degree in business administration. Thus, while Seth and I studied, he just sat there and said nothing. Actually, Seth and I weren’t studying. He was teaching me everything. For a gruff guy, he had a lot of patience and I considered myself lucky to have met him. I also discovered that although I knew nothing, it didn’t take me long to grasp the meaning of things so in the five hours we spent in the library, I learnt a whole lot. “You should read up on these before the next class.” He highlighted several parts of the textbook and I happily promised to do so. “Thank you so much, Seth,” I said as I gathered my books. “Right. We should do this often,” he stuffed his books in his bag without looking at me. “See you in class on Monday, then.” “Okay!” I didn’t think much as to why

I put on a pretty short skirt, a cute pink top and nice boots. It was an outfit I had wanted to try since I entered this body but did not feel confident enough to put on. But now that I was going on what I tagged ‘operation disgust Xander,’ I felt the outfit should be fitting.From now on, I would be putting on my best show to ‘seduce’ Xander as I was sure it would be the best way for him to lose interest in me. If I pretended to still be into him, his ego would be sated and I would not have to deal with his bullshit anymore.“It’s a different style but you rock every style,” Bella said. “Alright, off we go.”“You are certain Ethan won’t be there?” I asked for the umpteenth time and Bella rolled her eyes.“No, he has work to do at home this weekend. Don’t worry about your brother. Tonight will be fun, I promise!”I followed Bella to a party off campus that she said was the most anticipated on campus. We got there when the party was already in full swing and when I walked in, the smel

XANDER’S POV“What has you grinning so much? What happened while I was away?” Ethan asked as I chuckled to myself.As my best friend and Beta, he knew much of what went on in my life but I could not share everything with him. If he knew the thoughts running through my head were filled with his sister, he would throw a fit.Selene was up to something and while I was not sure what, it excited me. The blood rushing in my head was deafening to my ears and my heart raced in anticipation of what was to come. The thought that I would have Selene back in my life caused all these overwhelming sensations.Up until a few weeks ago, just seeing her felt unpleasant, a sure way to ruin my day. Her falsely sweet voice used to grate on my nerves and the blue eyes that always stared at me as if I was the hero of the world were creepy to me. I was supposed to hate her but now, her image was burned into my mind, resurfacing at the oddest times and making my heart race.From the way she acted yesterday,
