By the time I get to the door I have a million different thoughts flowing through my head. This could be really bad for me. It could be Mr Ayden at the door, with guards and a car outside so he can make sure I don't run away.Or it could be my parents and their friends. I'm sure Greg would have said something if he saw some thugs outside his door, but it could also be my parents and the police.Greg would be appalled at the kind of allegations that they would level at him, and it would look like he was being humiliated because of me.I can feel fear draping its coat over me, thick and heavy before I remember that I am not a kid anymore. I'm not a child that they have power over, I'm a grown woman who can take my life into my own hands. They abused me in that home, if they didn't i wouldn't have left.I groan and turn back to look at Greg."Did you check who's at the door?"He cocks an eyebrow up at me and rolls his eyes afterwards."You look great if that's what you're worried about,

"So the wolves of the Crescent moon are just like one branch of a big tree?"Mr Ayden's hand strokes my hair and he chuckles."A bigger tree than anyone can imagine, and there are also other trees, mighty ones consisting of races we don't know about. The moon goddess gave birth to many children before she left the mortal realm, but she loved the werewolves most. Her children have now gone on to become some of the creatures you read of in books. Werewolves, Lycans, dragons, all of them. Time has made us divide and war has made us spread out. We might all be different trees but we all drink from the same fountain, the moon and its goddess is what we rely on."With Mr Ayden's breath so close to my ear I can barely breathe. I can barely breathe either ways, with or without his breath so close to my ear. The fact that I am leaning on his body, my head on his chest and my back feeling the heat he's radiating, that on its own is enough for me to know I might get carried away heavily and simp

The car drops me off at Greg's place and I can tell all at once that I am not ready to see him.Can I look at him in my current state? I feel like my crimes are written on my forehead and my eyes are screaming guilty!I kissed Ayden Bravlov.Not just a chaste kiss but a deep one, the kind I've only seen in telenovelas. I kissed Ayden Bravlov!I don't know if I'm to scream or bury my hands into my hair and start pacing like a lunatic. I actually kissed Ayden Bravlov.Oh my god.I kissed Ayden Bravlov."Questioning your life choices after a fun night out?"I snap upright immediately to see someone behind me. A lady with fiery red hair and the looks of a seductress. She smiles at me and I feel my heart skip a beat.I catch myself in time and look away, smiling shyly."It's nothing as grand as that to be sincere. I'm just confused. "She chuckles and pats me on the head as she walks by."Take some water and you'll be fine."I doubt water will make me fine but I nod and watch her walk thr

"Where is he now?" Axel mumbles something that is not a reply and I let him. Xavier has always been able to navigate his way around the city well, and with what happened last night, I think there's something to him that I'm not seeing. Something he's keeping from me. "He's at the same bench he's been on since the last time you called, Alpha." I fix up the buttons of my shirt and grunt in confirmation. Xavier is hiding something. I want to know what it is. "Keep an eye on him, notice anyone around him and investigate them. He might be blind but he's not harmless. I don't want to believe my blood has failed me in such a heavy way." I cut the call after I hear Axel's response and I knot my tie. I look into the mirror and the person who stares back at me is someone I would feel relaxed to see. Effortlessly handsome and capable, A real Alpha. That is the kind of child I had imagined I would give birth to. A child that would be a mirror of me and all the Alphas gone before us. Xavi

"I'd like your assignments handed in by tomorrow at most. Not a second past 7 a.m, and Janette my face is down here, not out the window."I want to break out in tears again but instead, I just look back at the professor and hope she sees the apology in my eyes. If I say anything right now I'll end up crying, and I do not want to cry at this moment.The day is almost over. I haven't signed up for Drama club, Drake is probably still outside the gates, or he's decided he doesn't need to do all that waiting and that it won't change anything. It might have before, but now that Cara's in the hospital, it's not going to do anything. The moment I am out of this class, I'm going to the hospital, or to get Greg. I don't know the name of the hospital she's been taken to and Greg was close friends with her brother, he can get that kind of information for me.The question of why he would do that pops into my mind but I bat it aside for later. I can handle all of that later. There's no reason why h
