LORRAINE“You've got to be kidding me. What on earth do you even think you're doing?” Josh shot her a look of irritation. For a moment, I could have sworn that he shifted his glare over to me and I bent my head almost immediately as I pretended to be more intrigued with my fingers than with what was happening. “Don't buy into my conversation, Josh. Can't you handle laying off from the attention for once and not interrupt me ?” She raised an eyebrow at him. For a moment, he seemed at a loss for words. I would admit that it was a sight to enjoy. The image of him being so speechless would be forever imprinted into my memory and I'm not certain that I would be getting rid of it anytime soon.“Don't talk to your brother like that” Luna's brows furrowed and I could see the panic dancing into her eyes as she stared at her Chloe. All of them panicked at the sudden change. All of them except me. I was intrigued as I observed her from the corner. Something about her had changed and I couldn't

LORRAINEI could hear the soft breathing of Chloe as she slept. I wondered if they knew that I was spending the night here. If they ever found out, there was a high possibility that Chloe's parents were going to throw a fit. I closed my eyes and sighed. I was exhausted, I could feel my exhaustion but somehow it was impossible to drift off into sleep. My eyes scanned around the dimly lighted room. I adjusted my head on the pillow and my eyes fluttered closed for a moment. I closed my eyes and sighed. I was still unused to this luxury. I was still unused to this treatment. I was very conscious about the soft sofa beneath my back. I knew that I should get some rest. It was obvious that I was tired and I was beyond exhausted and somehow the sleep wouldn't come. I considered walking towards the balcony and remaining there for a few minutes. It wouldn't hurt to admire and take in the scenery of the place. As soon as the thought brushed through my mind, I instantly decided against it, almost

LORRAINEI swallowed nervously as I looked around. Chloe's face gave nothing away. Her expression remained impassive. I on the other hand was a nervous wreck and I could do absolutely nothing about it. I tried to stop my hands from shaking but I couldn't seem to get it to stop. Josh stormed towards us from the other end of the hallway. The look on his face was enough proof that he didn't approve of Chloe being seen with me. I swallowed nervously and when I tried to pull my hand away from hers, she tightened her grip, closing her eyes around mine. “What on earth do you think you're doing?” Josh growled as he came face to face with Chloe. I avoided his gaze and found the ground to be interesting to look at.“Oh wow. Hello to you brother. Fancy seeing you there” she drawled. Her voice dripped with icy sarcasm and I found it slightly amusing as the irritation in his eyes intensified. “First you insist on abandoning homeschool and then you come and try to ruin me socially,” he said. Sh

LORRAINE“Let me have a look at it,” Chloe said softly as she took a step towards me. I paused and then I shook my head reluctantly. I didn't want to stain or burden her with my bloodied nose. The good news was that the nurse confirmed it wasn't broken. I continued to clean the blood off my nose with gauze. I was almost tempted to close my eyes and give in tears that were threatening to consume me. My eyes stung with them but I didn't let them fall. The last thing I needed was for Chloe to see me shattered in pieces.“I'm serious, Lorraine. Let me have a look at it” she said and I was reluctant as I took a step backward away from her. Her eyes dimmed with sadness as she saw how fast I was moving away from her. “I'm not going to hurt you. I promise” she said softly. “I know. What I'm afraid of is you getting hurt because of me” I lowered my gaze away from her. Her eyes softened and I could have almost sworn that I saw her eyes fill with tears. “I don't care. You shouldn't have to

LORRAINEThe next few hours, Lorraine was worried about Chloe, and as well, she couldn’t get what Jayden said off her mind. She knew that if she couldn’t find Chloe, she would be thrown out of the palace. She got ready for school, but not in the usual way; she looked messy all because she was stressed.How would I find Chloe? My life would be miserable if I didn’t find the Alpha-only daughter. Tears started flowing out of my eyes.“Can you imagine this? Everyone can’t see that the mate of the Lycan twin is crying”. “Haha ha ha ha, or did they break your heart by your heart”? Lisa made a mockery of me. I could not hold back my tears, so I left the class with my heart melting. I ran to the library immediately and took a wolf book to read, but when I saw someone's footsteps, I felt scared. Someone tapped me, and I screamed, "You." What are you both doing here? I kept on panicking. “Why are you sweating”? The twins asked her “No….no… no I’m not sweating; I’m just worried about Chlo
