WINTERAfter dress shopping two days ago, I avoided Summer like the plague, or maybe she ignored me, but I was glad I didn't see her.I had had enough of her antics to want to put up with more.Also, I was glad I finally got to take the dress of my choice, even though she didn't like it."A penny for your thoughts?"I cringed and gasped. And my eyes strayed to Slade as he appeared at my back. "Fúck it, Slade. I hate that!""You cuss too?" He tilted perfect slender brows. The most flawless brow I had ever seen and the one I wouldn't get even if I tried.Also, Slade had ridiculously long lashes for a man."Am I not allowed to?" Slade tapped his chin and shook his head. His eyes narrowed again on mine, and he continued staring at me until I was uncomfortable."I hate when you do that," I grumbled."Do what?" He murmured."Stare at me and act as if you are trying to figure me out or something...""What if I am trying to figure you out?" He muttered. "We are meant to be together. Don't you

WINTER"Congratulations on being part of the family now, but I know you'll betray us soonest." Summer said as soon as I stepped inside the empty kitchen to fetch myself a glass of wine.I was suddenly thirsty after the whole oath; I wondered if it was what the witch had given to me that made me feel that way.Summer stepped towards me and gripped a strand of my hair that had fallen loose from the pin it was held in."You should have left when I asked to." Summer snarled into my ear. "Taking the oath makes everything even more complicated, and don't think you are victorious yet because far more horrible things are coming, and I know for sure you would not be able to handle it.""I'm not the one to run away from a challenge." I shook my head to release my hair from her hand. "You should have known from the fight scene.""I only let you win!" Summer snapped. "I am the strongest fighter in Wolfe Academy. Besides, Big brother saved you; else, I'd have made you eat enough soil!""You were sa

WINTER POVI flung my hands in the air and did a little stretch. A wide smile appeared on my face as I heard several pops in my back. And I heaved a breath as the tension in my muscles subsided.I turned as I felt a tap on my shoulder."Hey, did you get paired up?" Linda, the only girl who wasn't afraid of what Summer would do to her, asked me.From the corner of my eyes, I saw Summer scowling, but I ignored her and shook my head. "I didn't get paired up. Is it necessary?"I saw the other students in pairs and even trios. They each formed a group, but I was the only one by myself. Perhaps, Summer had done something for me not to get paired up. Not as if I cared. I could train by myself. It wasn't combat training, and I didn't think it was necessary to get paired up."It is necessary," Linda mumbled, and she leaned into me a little. "I guess you and Summer will face each other because she's without a pair as well.""Isn't this meant to be training?" I murmured, tilting my brows as I wat

WINTER POVThe news of my defeating Kendall and Summer in the school spread like wildfire. It got to Luna Ashley and Alpha Charles.Luna Ashley congratulated me and told me she knew I had potential and was like her when she was younger, but not without reprimanding us for acting like enemies.Luna Ashley had forced us into apologising. And I had apologised to Summer and Kendall, but both didn't seem to accept my apology. Summer even yelled that she'd get back at me and won't let me humiliate her for the second time and go free.It wasn't as though I cared about everything she said and her threat; I had far better things to do.Ever since then, she never ceased to taunt me. And I avoided her to stop me from doing something mean because each time I was in her presence, I felt like hitting her. Or, instead, my wolf felt like doing that.Flora detested Summer even much more than I did."Winter!"I gasped as Linda nudged me. I had forgotten she was with me.She folded her arms in front of

SLADE POV"How long will you keep taking me out of my party? I don't get it."Well, I didn't either. I just wanted to get her away from everyone. I saw her when she strode in, and she took my breath away. But I noticed all eyes were on her, especially the men and some of them were mated.The urge to have wanted to yell at them to stop staring at her had filled me, but I wondered what they would have said if I had done that."Why am I here? For you to watch me?" She furrowed her brows."No," I grunted and then flushed. I didn't know how to say that I was jealous. Fúck, I was jealous of the perverts' attention on her.I was freaking possessive. And I had never been until now."It's my birthday, and missing in action is the last thing I wanted." She said and tried to wriggle out of my grasp, but I held her."Wait," I mumbled. And I dipped my hand into my pocket and brought out the blue box I had carried about for a while.I bought it before the oath and had wanted to give it to her, but
