Chapter 18
Daphne showed me to a room and offered me a warm bath and hot meal. Both of which I refused. I wasn't looking for a bed and breakfast and I wasn't letting my guard down.
Finally after a few minutes of being told to wait in a room– for my own good– Daphne emerged holding a dress.
This was no random dress. The way the light danced off the silk, giving it a shimmery look was too familiar, and instantly I knew where Ophelia found the dress and why she picked it.
It was the dress Levi picked out for me at the boutique. The one we bickered about. He insisted I get it and I refused because I had no where to wear it to.
This was proof she had been watching us. Every time we thought she was silent, it didn't mean she wasn't there, quietly observing and waiting for the right moment.
It was bone-chilling how calculated Ophelia was. What chance could we stand against someone that had us figured out and anticipated our

In Brookburgh it was easy for the days to fall into a routine. Even the weather was on board with this regime of things but that did not mean the locals didn't wish for difference. Even if that difference was one miraculous day of sunshine. Unfortunately, today was not that day. It was gloomy with a side of rakish winds. It was also a very slow day, the seconds seemed to drag to reach that minute and the minutes were even worst because it seemed painful to wait for the next hour to pass. Three days passed since I last saw Levi. I knew he was avoiding me and I was taking his sibling's advice. They knew him far better than I did and I could use all the advice I could get because I didn't want to give up on him. My worst fear was not that my quest for love would be unsuccessful but it was that I had lost Levi completely. If he

It is possible to die from heartbreak.That is why so many perish after their soul mates have.But I'm not into medicine or therapy.Therapy meant I'd have to be reasonable and understanding and by nature, I was a very unreasonable person.Medicine on the other hand couldn't fix everything. Because if it could then I'd swallow a bottle of whatever potion that would help heal this hole in my chest.The sound of whistling broke my reverie and I looked at Joshua who stood against the house with yearning eyes for Alex – who wasn't going to give him a second glance since she knew exactly where he stood while she poured a circle of salt on the ground around Gina and Hannah.I would also offer this miracle potion to Joshua. I'd offer it to anyone with a broken heart with a daily dose of never fall in love pills.But as Hera would tell me, falling in love was like catching a bad cold. 'One day you're

A prickly feeling almost as if tiny ants were crawling up my hands and legs made me rub my sweaty palms on my faded jeans as the car broke through the forest turning into the driveway of the pack house."You know you don't have to be a wolf for me to know when something is wrong with you," Creed said, and I kept my eyes on my lap as the car came to a stop.The car ride was mostly silent. I was too busy anticipating what I was going to say to everyone. "I feel terrible." There was no point in lying to him about my guilt."You were always too hard on yourself as a child. The easiest teenager I've met. You reprimanded yourself the moment you knew you did something wrong. Do you remember the pranks you and Jordan played on me?" He laughed.I felt myself at ease at the memory. "We took it too far sometimes.""I agree after the frog in my boot," he chuckled causing me to smile and some of those prickling ants to fade.I held myself from laughing, "El felt bad for the frog. She told me it was

"Tell me a story," Mia said, settling under the covers. "What kind of story?" I sat at the edge of her bed, "I know red riding hood, Goldilocks and the three bears or three little pigs." "I don't know," she shrugged, "something filled with adventure and danger." "Mia, you live with wolves it doesn't get any more adventurous than that." "The most adventure I have here is sitting on dad's back when he is a wolf." "Hey, that's more than some kids get. You got a dad who can also be a pet," I said and she giggled."What color do you think my fur would be when I shift?" She asked catching me off guard. I went silent. How did Elias manage to lie to her. She was a sweet kid and I was sure she would understand if they told her the truth. "Red," I smiled. Hopefully, she would forgive me one day but it was not my place to tell her. "I'm hoping for pink," she smiled goofily." "Mia," I snorted and she let out a yawn. She was tired but refused to sleep. "I would have to settle for red.

I opened my eyes to see Levi laying beside me. He was flipping through a book and I sat up confused about how he ended up in my bed. "Good, you're awake," he said, keeping his eyes fixed on the book. "What are you doing in my room?" I murmured. "Reading," was his arrogant response. "I can see that, but why in my room?" He rolled his eyes and shut the book, sitting up to look at me. "I heard you moaning in your sleep early hours of the morning." "Where is El?" I asked, "did she see you come in here?" "No, I saw your brother carrying her to their room." "So you sneak into my bed, not thinking that my brothers will barge in at any moment." How could he not see how this would look. "You have your clothes on," he said, his eyes dropping to what I was wearing. "It's a shame you can't sleep in those shorts and vest in Scotland," he grinned. "You're a pig," I turned over not wanting to deal with his antics and just sleep since I couldn't sleep last night. "Yet you still in be

It was a beautiful sunny day and my family as per usual on sunny days like this— where the sun wasn't too hot and the wind was just right— took advantage of nature's kindness and had a picnic. Eleanora and Hera were making hot dogs on the grill. While Levi was keeping Mia and Parker occupied by playing a game of catch. My brothers were at the docks handling the shipping company they ran together. They got along okay with Levi. They all weren't best friends but at least they weren't trying to kill each other and that was all I could ask for. Baby steps.I sat on the stairs sipping iced lemonade with my shades covering my eyes as I watched Levi chase Mia and Parker around. Something I can scratch off my 'never thought I would see' list. Levi was different here, maybe it was the fact that he was playing in the sun, and not clinging to the shadows or maybe it was how carefree he looked. How human he appeared to be. I would be lying if I said I loved before Levi and I'd be a liar if

When I stepped onto the Brookburgh campus again, I felt different. I felt the way I should have felt on my first day, optimistic and ready to face any academic challenge. Even first semester exams. I spent a week cramming everything I could into my head and when the time came I sat for my finals with Alex and Gina by my side. I had to admit it felt strange being in a lecture room. I barely saw Levi since we got back from Arizona and I thought he was giving me space to focus on my exams, but it had been two days after my exams, and still no sign of him. I was starting to think he left the school and I didn't want to ask Hannah because if he did I wouldn't know what to do next. I sat on my bed holding the heart-shaped rock he gave me. The memory of it all felt so distant but every time I closed my eyes and thought of every kiss we shared it was like I could feel it. I could grasp it and hold onto it but there was only so far a memory could sustain happiness and I had to pray ever

Levi took me into his room and shut the door. "Go to sleep." He shrugged off his black coat and threw it at the armchair in the corner of the room.I was still buzzing from the alcohol. "Why don't you go to sleep." I fell backward onto the bed.He sighed, loudly. "May," his voice was low, "I would appreciate it if you don't sass me right now." He sat down on the bed next to me. "I have to go out there and deal with my father. Please do me a favor and behave."I mounted him, straddling his lap and he didn't look surprised. "What are you doing?" He asked in a flat tone of voice.I pecked his lips, looking into his eyes and that was enough for me to want more and tug on his bottom lip with my teeth. He licked my bottom lip and kissed me softly not giving into his full passion.He pulled away. "Can you go to sleep now?" He asked breathily, trying to control himself."Kiss me properly first."I kissed him again running my hands under his shirt and over his cold abs. "May," he said between
