Jayla
Remember what I said about not liking parties? Yeah. Now add dressing up to the list of things I hate about parties.I throw my closet open and groan when I see that I have practically nothing to wear. My entire closet is filled with either worn out jeans and shirt outfits or summer dresses, which are definitely not meant for a party like this.Even though I doubt any other packs are invited, our own pack is big enough. It has about 800 members with 300 school going members. I miss Katherine being here. That girl always had a talent of finding something presentable for a party in my trashy closetFinally I settle for blue skinny jeans, white crop top and a pair of strappy heels. It's a rather cute kind of outfit and it suits me well. I quickly plug in my curling iron as I do a bit of makeup.I apply some concealer under my eyes and on my eyelids as a base before taking my palette to do a quick smoky eyelook. Then I take my black eyeliner from YSL and do a quick wing. I add some mascara, light pink lipstick and I decide that my makeup looks good.I grab my heated curling iron and quickly curl the ends of my slightly dry hair, making them look bouncy and full. I ruffle my hair and decide not to use any hair spray because this party doesn't seem too important.I take a look at myself in the mirror, and I'm proud of how I look. I'm putting some last minute essentials in my purse like lipstick, some cash and earphones, when my father calls for me and I go downstairs."I'm coming!" I holler and quickly slip on my black strappy heels."You look beautiful, angel," my dad says with pride in his eyes and voice when he sees me as I enter the room, and kisses my forehead.I smile and go on my tiptoes to kiss his cheek. "You don't look too bad yourself, dad."He smiles sweetly at me and ruffles my hair, making me groan."Come on, kiddo," he says. "We should get going. I need to talk to the Alpha and then I'll come back while you can enjoy the party, okay?""Okay," I mumble, nodding my head.Dad gives Mom a quick kiss on her lips before we decide to go and they share one of those gooey eye looks which makes me roll my eyes."Bye, honey!" Dad hollers before he and I step outside and enter into the car.I tuck the seatbelt in and sigh, looking out of the window. When I was a kid, I thought life was just like a beautiful fairytale where you are your parent's princess and there is someone in the world who will become a prince just for you.Then, I grew up a little and learnt about the adult's world where people cheated and lied to each other. I learned about hypocrisy, where the adults taught of love and truth, but weren't so loving and truthful themselves.Then my parents told me about mates, and I was transfixed. Having a soulmate- someone who's made just for you, didn't sound any less than a fairytale for me.And I hoped. Again. My hopes increased everyday as I saw how my parents loved each other and how my friends changed when they found their mates. I wanted that too. I wanted a mate.Then I turned eightee, and I got rejected. Not technically anyway, but practically. I mean, he didn't say the words and severe the bond, but he never accepted me either.I learned another thing about humans that day. I learned that hopes and expectations are hazardous for you, and no one will ever be truly happy for your happiness.When the world knows about your weaknesses and hopes, they'd do anything in their power to break them. To break you. But you have to be strong.You have to be strong enough to not get broken by those people yet at the same time, prevent yourself from becoming cynical because we came alone to this world. And we'll exit this world alone, too."This is my daughter, Jayla," Dad says, introducing me to the Alpha who smiles warmly at me. I hadn't even realized that we had gotten to the Alpha's office due to how I had been so lost in my thoughts."Of course I know her. She's such a talented girl. The principal told me about her." He looks at me and grins. "Have you met my son yet?"I open my mouth to say no but Jasper Obed, the future Alpha of the pack cut me off."Unfortunately not. But we would love to know each other, won't we, pretty lady?" Jasper asks me, grinning and showing off his pearly white teeth.I close my mouth and nod slightly. How could I say no to the future Alpha?***Thinking back to that moment, I regret my action. I should have just said no. Jasper has been constantly flirting with me and all my attempts to escape this situation have all been in vain."So, apart from looking gorgeous, what are your hobbies?" Jasper asks as he swirls the contents of the drink in his glass."Um. I like to sing," I manage to get out.That piece of information seems to make him pick up interest. "Oh, do you play some type of instrument too?"I nod. "Yeah. I know how to play the guitar.""Interesting," he whispers, leaning close to me. "Do you know what I'm good at?"He picks a strand of my hair and twirls it between his fingers, his face dangerously close to mine."No?" I reply without stuttering.If it was Tyler in place of Jasper right now, I know I would have been paralysed by now. But since it's Jasper and not my mate, I feel no sparks, no thrills, nothing at all.Even though Jasper is the sexiest boy in the whole of the school and practically every girl I know has a crush on him, I can't help but feel it's not proper to talk to him.On the other hand, I can't help but feel hurt that Tyler didn't even tell Jasper- his best friend from childhood- about us being mates because if he had known, he won't have flirted with me, the way he is doing right now.Is Tyler really that ashamed of me? Do I really mean so little to him?I decide to shake my thoughts off when Jasper leans even closer, his nose touching mine.I hold my breath as he says the next words. "The thing is, sweetheart, I can't tell you about my hobbies. I can just show them to you."I gasp when I realize what kind of hobbies he is talking about. I choose to ignore him and look away. Where is Shane anyway? Isn't this supposed to be his party? Not that I'm looking forward to meeting him or anything."Jasper," a deep voice says and we both look to the side to see Tyler standing there with his jaw clenched. His palms are fisted tightly and he looks pissed."Tyler," Jasper says lazily as he wraps an arm around my waist, pulling away. "Looks like you did find a girl this time, huh?" Jasper laughs lightly as if it's a joke but no one laughs. It's only as he speaks that I notice a girl standing beside Tyler.Standing? I scoff after a closer look at them. More like clinging to his body like a leech. As I look closely, I discover that it's the same girl as the one from detention and I wonder if both of them are dating or something."Babe," she slurs, obviously drunk. "Why don't we go somewhere else? Somewhere we can have fun," she says in his ear, trailing a finger down his chest and biting his ear.I fold my hands into fists when I feel a pang of hurt in my chest. Tyler is unaffected though. He looks like he is enjoying my state, as if he is delighted with it."Why not, babe," he says loud enough for Jasper and I to hear it as he pull the girl closer to himself. My jaw drops as I see him lean down and kiss her right in front of my eyes.If you think seeing your mate with someone is hurtful, try watching him kiss someone else in front of your eyes. And voluntarily too. One of his eyes are open as he sneaks a glance at me and smirks through the kiss.My body is burning. My lungs, my chest, my heart are burning with pain, jealousy and hurt. So much that it's painful to breathe."Excuse me," I barely manage to get out as I detach myself from Jasper."Hey!" Jasper calls out, but I don't look behind.How many times have you cried for someone? How many times have you gotten up and told yourself 'not anymore'? How many times have you decided that you've had enough of a person and yet given in to them again? How many times have you cried yourself to sleep, only to get up and make the same mistake all over again?Tyler Everett is that mistake of mine. He is a mistake I never committed in the first place. I clench the railings of the first floor balcony as tears fall down my face.One tear falls on the floor, followed by another, till I lose of how many salty droplets fall down my eyes. I sniffle and whimper as the images of him kissing her swirls around in my head and it feels like someone is running a silver dagger through my heart, stabbing me again and again.I want to go home. I really want to. I'm about to pull my phone out when a familiar voice stops me."What is a pretty girl like you doing here all alone?"I turn around to see who it is and gasp loudly.Oh God, why me?JaylaI turn around to see who it was that spoke and I gasp loudly."Harry?" I whisper, shocked to the marrow. All the memories begin to clutch at my sanity and I let them over take me.It was our first year anniversary and Harry decided to take me to a fancy restaurant for dinner."Harry!" I giggled as he tickled my sides before leaning in to kiss me.I kissed him back immediately, my arms wrapped around his neck and I angled our faces to deepen the kiss. He moaned in approval and put his arm around my waist, moving his lips against mine.I didn't feel any sparks. I didn't feel anything at all, but I still liked it for some reason. Sparks couldn't really exist, right? They were just fanatasies.My thoughts were interrupted when Harry began pushing his hand up my shirt, touching my skin. I clenched his shirt, not liking the feeling. I didn't like it when he touched me like that but he took it as a signal of pleasure and began touching me further up. His finger brushed the underside of
Jayla"Harry," I whisper, shocked. He just smirks and moves closer to me.My eyes widen and I panic, backing up. My back touches the cold railing and I realize that I'm in a balcony with practically no way out. My eyes desperately move to the door but he is guarding it, standing directly in front of it. There is no way of escaping.His smirk widenes and he starts pressing against me. I look away, disgusted."Move!" I say but my voice comes out weaker than I intended because I'm fucking scared.I clear my throat and try again, pushing his chest. "Move!"I don't like touching him at all but as it is, I don't really have much of a choice. He doesn't even budge but I'm not surprised about that. Putting his hands on either side of my waist, he leans closer. "Why so shy now, love?" he coos, twirling a piece of my brown locks between his fingers.Him being near me isn't a nice feeling. He doesn't give me any tingles like Tyler. In fact my body rejects him in every way possible. I can feel my
JaylaFalse heat drugs are something created by witches. They include essential oils, natural extracts, regular drugs and of course, spells. Since they are produced via magic and spells, they don't have an antitode.Not a lot of people use these drugs, though. That is because they are really expensive, and they can cause a lot of pain if not used correctly.Heat is not only painful, but complicated too. A lot of people confuse heat with sexual desire or arousal but they are actually different.Sexual arousal is usually for a particular person and is as a result of an action or situation, like by someone grinding against you, or you being involved in a sexual activity. Whereas, heat is not for a particular person and is a matter of time. A marked wolf falls into heat every new moon until the mating process is completed. Heat is just the unquenchable need of your body for release.If a werewolf's human mate is in heat, then only their mate can quench it. Whereas, if a werewolf's wer
TylerChase growls inside me because we now know the reason that bastard drugged our mate. But he has already been captured and is being taken care of, and now we have a mate who is in heat to take care of.My eyes wander around the room and i realize that we have a hell of a lot of audience. The men that had come in to see the commotion and to help us dispose Harry off are still in the room. Most of them are unmated and I don't miss the glint of lust in their eyes as they look at Jayla, groaning and suffering on the bed.They are all eyeing my mate with clear lust evident in their eyes, some with dark eyes-meaning their wolf is in control- and I growl angrily.I see Jasper too struggling. His eyes are fixed at the ground and his palms are curled into fists. His jaw is clenched and his eyes constantly change colors showing that he is fighting with his wolf. Being an alpha, his wolf instincts are the strongest, but it makes Chase and I happy that he is trying to control himself.From t
JaylaI shut my locker with a slam and duck my head. I hug my books closer to my chest as I make my way out of the corridors, trying not to pay attention to the murmuring that is following me.From the corner of my eye, I notice students shamelessly pointing at me and whispering to themselves. Some give me pitiful looks, while others give me cold looks and snicker at me.I clench my books closer to me and lower my head to hide my face with my hair. More than half of our school population is werewolf, and more than ninety percent of them know all about what happened yesterday.The scene that Tyler created on my birthday, paired with what happened yesterday has stirred up gossip and has led to me becoming the center of attention of Braham High. That's just great.I am two seconds away from being a part of the Mean Girls movies . I won't be surprised if a director comes to me to take my life story as an inspiration.Everyone believes that me and Tyler did it last night, and now I am bei
Jayla "I...uh..." Shane scratches his neck sheepishly as he tries to form a sentence. "You know.""No, I don't know," I say curtly, narrowing my eyes at him.He always scratches his neck when he has done something wrong. I know him.He bites his lip and looks at me with his big blue eyes. "Please don't be mad at me, Jay, but I kinda broke my promise. I just got so engrossed in training."I sigh and pinch the bridge of my nose, as I remember the last day before he left."What? Today?" I paced around in his room worriedly as he threw clothes from his closet into his suitcase. "What do you mean by you are leaving today?"Shane ignored me and continued packing hurriedly."What about school? You haven't completed senior year yet. It's just a matter of eight months! Complete it, get your diploma and then go. What's the hurry?" I queried.The fact that Shane was talking about leaving right then, scared me and all I could think about was how he would manage. He needed to complete high school
JaylaTyler's blunt question catches me off guard. Should I tell him the truth? I decide to take another approach.I take a deep breath and nod my head confidently. "Obviously, I regret it. Infact, I'm glad you stopped. I'm glad that we didn't end up mating because I would have regretted it a lot this morning."Tyler growls at my bluntness and he pins me against the table by placing both of his arms on either of my sides. His eyes turn black, telling me his wolf is trying to take control. He is filled with nothing but rage and his jaw ticks in fury."Oh, really?" he grits out. "You regret it, huh?"I nod, my eyes challenging him. I am doing this deliberately. I want to get a reaction out of him. It gives me some sort of sadistic joy in knowing I can affect him like this."So you're telling me that if I do this," he says, leaning in to brush his lips against mine, "that you will stop me?"I gasp and my heart starts thudding fast when l feel his lips against mine. Even though he barely
JaylaMy eyes look at Tyler questioningly as I watch his entire expression fall. I give him an expectant look but he looks away. "Which rumor are you talking about?" he asks.I purse my lips and give him a blank stare. "You know which rumor I am talking about." He shakes his head and I sigh. "The rumor that says that you and I slept together last night," I tell him in a slow voice- the type of voice you use to explain something to a kindergartener.His jaw clenches and he narrows his eyes at me. "What is wrong with that rumor anyway?"My eyes widen and I gasp, so shocked that he could say that. "What do you mean by 'what is wrong with that rumor'? Everything is wrong with that rumor!" I say, my temper beginning to flare.He crosses his arms across his chest and replies coolly. "Oh, yeah. I don't see anything wrong in people thinking that I'm in an intimate relationship with my mate."Okay, what the actual hell? Why the hell is he defending that goddamn rumor, and the person who sprea
