CHAPTER 036CALLUM’S POVI halted in front of the small brown door, my heart beating nervously in my chest. My hand watered tremendously on the box I was carrying. I was more than nervous. Heck, I was scared. What if she was inside? I did not bother to check if she was still working when I left the house. All I did was wrap the gift and be on my way so I could meet up with her sister before she returned.But now that I was here the question boiled within me, what if she was inside? I managed to place the gift on the floor, the brown paper I had used in packaging it, making its crinkling sound as I dropped it on the floor. I closed my eyes, steadying my breath and taking in multiple deep sighs before finally raising my hand to do the door and knocking.I knocked once at first, then twice. Then I bent down to put the large box back into my hand. I picked up the sound of someone approaching with my wolf senses, another gulp of my saliva going to my bloodstream before the door opened, re
ALICIA’S POVI wore my second pair of earrings, taking a long last look at myself. My lips shimmered with the red lipstick I used and my face shiny with the powder I used. I turned and walked out of the room, making my way down the stairs. I was just about to reach the door to open it when I heard someone yell out my name, or probably not my name but in a respectful manner,The guard got in front of me and bowed, “I apologize my lady, but the alpha has asked me to tell you to come to his office right now. It’s something important.” He said. “The alpha sent for me?” I repeated, my brows raised up in disbelief and curiosity.I thought we had both made it clear to each other that we did not do any of this. I don’t want to eat with him, and hear words that’ll hurt me or even be in the same place with him. “I’m already on my way out, I can’t go back. Please tell him…“He said it was urgent, and you have to come. He told me not to return without bringing you with him.”A threat. He was th
Brianna's POVShit.Shit shit shit shit.I fidgeted while pacing inside the room. I'd made sure that Calvin's footsteps had receded before I locked the door, making sure that the entire place was silent. Nobody would come to bother me, that was for sure. After all the news, no matter how little, must have spread like wildfire and I knew that Calvin was going to make sure that nobody saw me, whether to curb the news or out of a misguided sense of ‘helping’. It helped too that everyone pitied me, and wouldn't bother me unless necessary which was co convenient.But did any of that matter now? There was only one answer to that;Hell no.I shut my eyes, drawing my hands across my face to control myself . I was in a full blown panic mode. Spiralling too much.All I could think about WT this morning was how?How the hell did Calvin find it out?“Shit.” I cursed in a low whisper. How I wanted to destroy everything in my path or tear out . But that wouldn't be comely of me would it? That woul
JACE’S POVI was hurt and disappointed as I got into my car and drove off. Something just did not seem right. The previous day at school was not what I had envisioned. It was different from what had I had imagined.Calista’s eyes met with mine but it was quite brief. She wasn’t always like that. She would not just look at me and ignore me like nothing had happened. She had a smile which was obviously fake. Neither of her actions seemed to be genuine and I knew she did not expect me to believe that.She had been so much in a rush like she knew something had happened. It seemed like she was avoiding me and I could not give a reasonable answer to it.I knew something was off. I was at her home at that day and I could tell someone was eavesdropping. I could tell there was someone else listening to us and I could tell it was Calista. Everything seemed suspicious even though I initially tried to act like I was not bothered. I saw her room briefly the previous night.It could be Calista. Sh
HAZEL’S POVI could not phantom the feeling arising in my heart the moment I witnessed Killian stand up to me. Was it happiness because he spoke up to Gray and defended me? Or was it the thrill that came with knowing I had finally won him over to my side?These thoughts clouded my head as I walked back to my room. As I placed my hand on the doorknob, a thought occurred to me. A part of me was happy that I was making progress with Killian, but another part felt terrible because I was basically lying to him.I was only getting him to trust me, so I could use that to my advantage. The thought left a bitter taste in my mouth and I couldn’t shake the thought of my mind, but then, I vividly recalled he asked to see Celeste.I walked into my room and I couldn’t stop anxiety from coursing through my entire being. Why had he called for Celeste? Was it the words I had told him yesterday? Did it offend him so much, that he was going to take it out on her.My face went ashen as all the blood drai
CALISTA’S POVI got home and released a sigh before going inside. No sooner had I stepped in when I met the angry stares from my family.“Stop there!” Kayla's father yelled at me and I let out a sigh as I lowered my head. “How dare you come at this time? How dare you come late?” He yelled even louder and in no time, everyone began to speak against me.“How could you come home at this time when you have a lot you are supposed to do? What type of animal are you?” “Who is supposed to do the dishes when you decided to stay out till this time, you useless girl? What is making you act like you own the word?”“There are chances that you are sleeping around and once we find out and we confirm that it is true, then , be ready to be doomed. We are going to make you so miserable for the rest of your days.” He threatened.They continued to speak and began to yell at me. I did not utter a word to either of them as all I wanted was for them to be done as soon as possible. Of course, they could no
AvaI knew that I am powerless and might not be able to get revenge against Derek, even though I knew that Alex was behind the death of my parents and brother, I knew I won't be able to get revenge.I knew that I had to get revenge and there was no way I would be able to kill the person behind the scenes. I can only try to comfort the feelings of my dead family members by killing Derek.I knew that I don't have the strength to fight against packs or warriors and there is no way I would be able to come up with a pack of mine to get revenge for me, I can only try what I knew was possible, that's to find someone to get revenge for me.I knew that the only person that can help me get revenge is Alex, and although it hurt my pride to find the person responsible for the death of my parents. I knew that being shameless isn't a good thing but I have no other option.My heart tightened as I walked toward Alex's office remembering what had happened this morning. I knew that Alex might not agree
LOGAN’S POVI arrived the next day with a lot of thoughts running through my mind. I looked around and diverted my gaze to Calista’s chair but to my greatest surprise, she was not around. It was quite unusual for her as she not the type to always arrive late. If there was one thing she always did, it was to come to school early. What was up this time?I waited for hours yet even till the end of the second period, had not been around for two periods. As soon as it was break period, I walked up to her cousin to ask her what was going on.“Where is she? Where is Calista?” I questioned.“Well.....” She shrugged and threw her hands in the air as she concentrated on her makeup. She occasionally smiled at the mirror as sh seemed so engrossed in her make up.“Answer the damn question.” I repeated immediately, trying to stay as calm and collected as I could.She rolled her eyes and let go of the make-up kit before diverting her full attention to me.“She is sick. She is not feeling good and th
