Iris POV
Rule number one, don't let your enemies know your next move.
Confuse them, get closer to them, and ruin them.
Rule number two, don't act like you know their secrets, smile with them, make them feel comfortable, and kill them with the spirit in you.
"What?" She asked pretending as if she doesn't know what she is doing. She splashed water on my face and dated my boyfriend behind my back. Like who the fuck does that? How can she act like she doesn't know?
"Don't let her know anything. Pretend as if you are still good friends.." I heard in my head. I looked around to see who talked but I found no one.
As I was about to talk, another voice came into my head.
"Shh...you are not about to expose our secret. She can't know you know. Our life will be in danger."
Our life?
Who the hell is talking? And why am I hearing the voice in my head?
"Get her out of here and I will introduce myself to you." I heard again. I sighed. Fine!
I turned to her.
What does she want anyway?
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"Are you serious? What am I doing here? We go to school together. Have you forgotten so soon? Cmon."
"Uh...I...yes, yes. Sorry. I forgot. I just had a dream."
"Fine. We are running late. We've got a test today. Remember?"
A test?
I raised my eyebrows in surprise.
What test?
I don't even know...
"Have you forgotten we are having a test too?"
"Are you for real?" She added.
I sighed.
"Okay, okay. I am exhausted. I will just take my bath."
"Alright. I will wait for you here while you-"
"No, no. You can't." I blurted.
The plan was to get her out of this room as fast as possible. I want to know the voice talking to me. I don't know how I got here and I need to figure something out.
"Why? I used to wait here while you go into the bathroom to take your bath. You even dress in front of me."
"What? You know what? I can't do that anymore. I deserve my privacy."
"Since when do you start requesting privacy?" She directed the question with a commanding tone.
I frowned. This is my room, right?
"Halley, this is my room. I don't think I ever come to your room to invade your privacy. Have I ever done so?" I asked folding my arms. She was shocked and I don't care why. Was this how she has been commanding me? She suddenly became soft.
She looked down.
"I...I am sorry." She apologized and walked away.
When the door closed, I shut it behind me immediately. I don't want anyone to come in unannounced. I deserve my privacy. I need to mark my territory. I can't just allow anyone to order me around. Just then I took a moment to look around the room I was in. Everything in here screams money. The tiled floor, the huge-sized bed. The closet was full of different clothes.
Am I dreaming?
"No, you aren't." I heard the voice again.
"Okay, I think it's time you introduce yourself to me. You can't just come into my head and speak whenever you want."
"Fine! I am your wolf, silly."
Wait, I have a wolf?
"I am your wolf, Sabrina."
Sabrina?
"And of course, you have a wolf. The moon goddess had gifted you with me while you were coming back. What year do you think you are? You are in your high school year. You need to start preparing on how to avenge your death."
I gasped. High school year? That is like two years back. Wait. I am in the past. What the? I am in the past. I am living my life again. No wonder it all felt familiar. This was how my room was two years back. I remembered slipping off the bathroom floor and landing my butt on the ground. But the only difference here is that the floor of my bathroom isn't tiled and in fact, it was just a normal floor.
"What the heck?"
"Yes. So that is why you need to pretend as if nothing had happened or changed. See ya, later."
"Wait, wait," I said but she was already shut out of my head. Oh, fuck it! I need help. I don't even know my way around here. Where is the bathroom and how am I supposed to prepare for school? Just then I heard a knock on the door.
"Iris. Iris. Open up."
I recognized the voice. It was my mom's voice. Oh, I have missed her so much. I rushed to the door and tried to open it but then, it became so difficult. The door was different from the one I am used to. I twisted the knob countlessly but nothing. Gripping the hold of the key, I turned it and it made a click sound. It sounds so satisfying.
I turned it again and it opened.
It revealed my mom's face. I missed her so much. I embraced her tightly and she did the same. I heard her chuckle.
"Hey, what's wrong?" She asked.
I sniffed. "I missed you, Mother," I muttered.
She smiled again. "I miss you too. But hehe, we saw and talked to each other last night, right? Cmon."
I still didn't break away. I don't want her to go anywhere. I need to make sure she is alright. She has changed. She dressed expensively like money wasn't a problem. I remembered then. We could hardly purchase a sweater.
How come everything has changed?
Maybe the moon goddess was right. I need to right every wrong. I need to correct every wrong. Exactly and I am starting with my parents. I will protect them as long as I can. I needed to find out what killed them in the first place. But then, I believed that their death wasn't ordinary. It was caused by an unknown force and I needed to know what happened. I needed to know what caused the force.
"My dear, are you okay?"
I heard my mother's voice. I snapped out of my thoughts.
"Yes, mother. I am okay. I just..."
"It's okay."
"Breakfast is ready. Take your bath and come downstairs. You have got a test today."
She walked out of the room in her classy, expensive gown.
I headed towards the first door and opened it but it wasn't the bathroom. It was a closet filled with clothes. I approached the second and it was the bathroom.
I stepped in gently and walked slowly to the bathroom. I remembered it was after I finished taking my football that was when I slipped and fell on my butt. I was gentle this time. I held the wall for support and took the brush.
Fortunately, I didn't fall throughout my hygiene session. I was grateful for that. Opening my closet, I picked out a white dress. I could remember we don't usually wear uniforms. It was a pair of white trousers and a white shirt. I didn't leave my body exposed and I loved it that way.
I put on my shoes and brushed my hair and packed it in a bun. I saw some books with my name written on it. I stuffed them into my backpack and headed outside.
The stairs were different. It wasn't made of wood. It was classy. Such a long stair.
Getting down, I saw my mom and dad. I hugged him tightly too.
He asked me what was wrong but I told him nothing was wrong. I just missed them.
I ate my breakfast without looking weird to them. Soon, a middle-aged man approached us.
"Good morning sir."
My dad responded.
The middle-aged man faced me.
"Who are you?"
"What?"
"Nothing...good morning sir."
"I am ready to take you to school."
Okay, this looks weird but I don't think I will be able to accept my life like this. I wasn't born into a rich home. I was poor. My parents can't even afford a bag of potatoes but they are eating on an expensive plate filled with garnished potatoes and salad.
I finished eating and I was ready for school. Suddenly, something rang so loud almost causing me to spring up on my feet. My parents gazed at me and I began to wonder what was wrong.
"Isn't that your phone, Iris?" My mom said gulping down a glass of water. My phone?
I have a phone.
Since when was that?
"Oh..." I hummed and got up on my feet to pick it up. I remembered then. Only the wealthy family got to use this type of phone.
I pick it up but it ended up falling off my hands.
I hurriedly picked it up from the floor and pulled a nervous smile.
"Hum...I will go now. See you later." I rushed words and ran out of the house.
I was going the wrong way when I was directed to a car.
*
The car pulled over in front of a building. I stepped out and saw a very, tall huge building. I got scared and then someone spoke.
"Hello, babe."
I recognized the voice. It was him.
Desmond.

......
When you go left and there is no way, you turn right and when you turn right, and there is still no way, you go back.But I can't give up. I need to understand all of these processes. Everything seems so new to me and I find it hard to understand. I don't even know I own a cell phone. I mean then, we cannot even afford the small one not to talk of this big one in my hand."My love," Desmond called.Who is he calling his love?I folded my arms but then I remembered that I have to still act normal. I need to act normal to make everything look normal. I was thankful that I was given a second chance to make everything right.Just then he stretched forth his hand to touch me and I shifted back.His face fell."What?""Nothing," I said, pulling a normal face."Then why are you running away from my touch?" He narrowed."Don't I have the right to? I don't just feel like it." I muttered and the middle-aged man who brought me to school approached me. He handed me a cell phone."Ma'am. You have
Me.He wants me.I gazed at his reflection in the mirror. He was standing with his hands in his pocket. I don't know but I am interested in those tattooed arms. I want him to trail those hands and explore my body. My stomach felt those butterflies again.I suddenly felt something dripping in my panties and I clenched my thighs. What the fuck? I am wet. Why do I get wet merely looking at his body?His hair was deep black.He dressed in this bad-boy style that was enough to drive girls insane. His tie hanging loosely on his neck his white shirt not tucked in. Gosh!!I salivated and I saw his eyes raking down my body. His eyes landed on my chest and I began to wonder what he was staring at. Suddenly, the moans grew louder and I felt embarrassed in this kind of situation. The tension between us grew."Ohh...fuck me. Fuck this pussy." The voice said loudly and that was it.I couldn't take it anymore. Not anymore. I grabbed my bag and turned to leave but then he gripped my wrist and turned
A rumour is a statement or claim that spreads from mouth to mouth. Sometimes, it is false, and another time, it turns out to be true. To be the most real thing.I scoffed at his messagesDrake Hemsford was known to be an addict to drugs.Yeah.I know it sounds surprising but I don't know how true it was. So many dark secrets around him and for now, I am not ready to know them. I am not ready to be part of his life but why did I even tell the moon goddess to create the mate bond between us? Why? Why do I have to do that?Why?I nodded my head negatively and went straight to the foyer. I didn't see my mother or father around. Just then a lady walked up to me. She was dressed in a uniform."Ma'am.""I have prepared your lunch."I smiled. "Oh, thank you," I muttered.I looked around. "Where is my mother?" I asked."She went to the office and she will be back later by eight in the night."I pulled a nervous smile. What? Office? Then, my mom doesn't even have a shop or a job. Once again, I
*After dinner, they both went to bed and I went up to my room to dress up. I looked out for a light purple velvet crop top and black, baggy trousers to make my butt comfortable. I don't want guys coming for me. I don't like my hair down. I like it up in a ponytail. I styled the ponytail and cleaned my face. I noticed I have a makeup kit. Woah! I remember Halley had one of these but this even looks more classy and beautiful than hers then. I applied the concealer and mascara. I did my little makeup and I was fine with it. I selected a black designer back to match it. No one can walk all over me like I am nothing. I need to prove myself. I need to make them all pay for what they have done to me. That's it. I will look classy and expensive as long as there is money. The moon goddess had done me a favour and so, I need to make use of it. Humble, fierce, stylish, Savage, truthful, and fashionable would be those words that would describe me from now on. I will act normal. I brought
Ana refused and ran out."Don't run after her. Leave her alone." I said."Oh, you." She acknowledged and sniffed gently. She raised her eyebrows and frowned at me. I know what she is about to say. About to scold me for smoking again."You did it again!" She said.I got up. "Come back here. You know I don't like you to get in trouble again. Sit down!" She frowned."No, I am not.""You are going to listen to me now. What else do you want me to do? We are just three and Ana? Do you want her to start what you are doing too? Remember this Drake, if you get into trouble I am not going to bail you out of jail. We already have enough money to build up our lives. Dad and Mom put me in care for the two of you. They won't be happy seeing us like this." She said with tears rolling out of her eyes.Okay, this is getting emotional. I can't just allow her to cry because of me. I have been trying to stop my addiction but I can't just stop it. Whoever killed my parents and my little brother, Timothy.
Get your friend close and your enemies closer.Desmond Gilbert is nothing but my enemy now. He has become just a pawn in my game. I will use him, dump him, ruin him, destroy him, and kill him with my bare hands just like the way he did to me. He brought this upon himself. He should have thought twice before choosing Halley over me.I am more beautiful than Halley.I have got the thick, curvy body that every guy wants. My face is perfectly sculpted by my creator. Halley can't even stay up to my level. I am going to kick their asses and mess with their brains till I finally have the real plan of taking them both.I will destroy them and their stupid, little relationship.I swear to the moon goddess.A soft heart won't solve the problem but a heart of stone will give them all a headache. They stepped on the wrong toe and they will be ruined. I will deal with them with everything I have got. With all the powers in me.I gazed at his outfit and rolled my eyes.Why did I even choose him in
"I have had enough, Desmond. You don't love me you are only playing with my feelings." I suddenly said, bursting into tears. I couldn't control the tears. It was fake but remembering what he had done to me in my past life, it brought tears to my eyes."Fine! Fine!" He yelled and that made me flinch but I don't fucking care. I don't give a shit."I feel like you are doing this on purpose." He voiced out.I wiped my tears and smiled."So I am right?" I asked him."What?""You heard me, Desmond. You are cheating. Just don't let me find out who the girl is because when I eventually find out, you will be sorry." I told him and his face fell in shock."I- I am not cheating on you and you know it. You fucking know it.""I thought I would make this night a fun, memorable one by running my tongue around your cock tonight to give you the best orgasm of your life but," I smiled and looked him in the eye."You ruined your chances with me."I walked away but before I get into my car, he knelt in
Fuck it! "Where have you been?" She asked.I scratched my neck. I bite my lips almost drawing out blood. All she could do at that moment was to scan my mode of dressing. She didn't bother saying anything."Huh, I went out with my friends after dinner.""Really?" She asked."Yes, mom. I did. Are you-" I stuttered."Are you mad at me?""No, I am not mad. I am just surprised you went out. You never go out except with your boyfriend whom I know, Desmond, and your best friend, Halley. So who are the friends?"I bite my lips. I have implicated myself. I didn't have many friends either.I sighed. "I am sorry Mom. I went to Desmond's. We went on a date.""You should have said that first. Fine! I am not angry at you anymore. I don't want you to go out at night. It's very dangerous. So dangerous for a girl to go out at night and you don't have your wolf yet. You should-""I have my wolf now but I still find it hard to shift. Her name is Sabrina."Her face lit up and she moved closer to me. "Re
