MIRANDA'S POV"I'm a tease, he said," I scoffed, mocking Nigel's words while I stormed further and further into the woods. I needed to clear my head, then figure out what the hell was out there. I must have been walking for almost half an hour when I saw it. Bright lights resembling the sun's rays shone up ahead. They were hundreds of them. What in God's name, I thought. Maybe this was a sign I should turn back, but then again, this was why I came out here, to get answers. Nigel could have just told me what was out here. Was it so bad he couldn't tell me? I walked closer to the lights, and I realized they were shining on another part of the forest that seemed dead. The trees were withered and black, and the dirt was dry and chalky. "This is so spooky," I mumbled. My eyes found a dozen signs with the words 'KEEP OUT', 'DANGER AHEAD,'and 'HAZARDOUS' written all over. Well, I bet this was where the secrets lie. I wasn't backing down now. I had to find out what was going on. I stepped ov
THIRD-PERSON POVNigel kept staring out his window watching Miranda's bedroom. The lights were still off, and his werewolf senses told him she wasn't back as yet. "Don't worry, best-case scenario is she stumbles in the Bloodshed Woods and that thing eats her, solving our problem of enduring any more of her annoyance.""You don't mean that, Taurus. I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if anything happens to her," Nigel revealed to his wolf. Thunder and lightning ripped across the sky, warning them of the storm that was about to come. "You're planning on going to find her, aren't you?" Taurus sighed."Yes I am. I shouldn't have let her go out there alone." Nigel got dressed in his sweater and boots, then he pulled a raincoat over his head, not forgetting to grab another one for Miranda. "This girl is really, really more trouble than she's worth," he groaned as he jogged off into the woods. He tried to locate her scent, but the rainfall wasn't helping as it was washing her essence away
NIGEL'S POVMy bed was softer than I remembered, and it smelt a lot nicer too; clean like Ariel laundry detergent. The housemaid must have changed our washing supplies, because this one was fucking delightful, I almost didn’t want to leave the comforts of these sheets. My skull felt like someone was using it as a hammer. For some strange reason, my head was thumping like a jackhammer. My ears were ringing and I felt like I was gonna come down with the flu. It was strange because I had never gotten sick before. I sniffled, trying to clear my nose as I sat up in the bed. The sun was almost up, and I needed to get dressed and head down to the fields for training. Beta Valor had been up my ass about slacking off and not taking this tournament seriously. But I was taking it seriously, he just didn't understand how much of a nuisance my next-door neighbour had been and how much trouble she had caused me since the last few days. Well, those troubles were over now. I smiled to myself when I re
NIGEL'S POV“Honey! Sweetheart, are you alright?” A woman's voice asked as she swiped her thumb over my cheek.I groaned and opened my eyes to see Mrs. W kneeling over me. I must have fainted when I realized I was stuck inside Prissy Pants' body. Don't get me wrong, I always imagined what it would be like to be inside her, but not in this way, if you know what I mean. I held my head while I tried to stand up.“Easy honey,” Mrs. W said as she gently ran her hand over my back. “You didn't eat much last night. Maybe your blood sugar is low.”“It's OK, Mrs. W, I'm cool,” I stated, trying my best not to fall to the ground again. “Mrs. W?” She cocked a brow at me. Damn! I needed to focus, I couldn’t have a slip-up now. “I meant Mama,” I gulped and she looked at me weird. So Mama was not right at all. I called mine Mom, so maybe I should have led with that. “Mom, I promise I'm fine.”“Mom?” she gasped, clutching the diamond necklace around her neck. At least she had better taste in fashion
MIRANDA'S POV"Wake up, Wolfy Wolfy," I cooed. The beast's body jerked, and I scuttled backward, not wanting him to accidentally maul me to death. But I had this strange feeling that he would never physically hurt me. The surrounding was dark, and it was only me and this beast alone in this place. "Oh, I had the worst nightmare ever," it explained. "I was trapped in this body with a human girl," he finished, standing to his feet. He shook his fur like a wet dog as he tried to steady himself. His posture was intimidating, and he smelt of mandarin. He had his head hung low, still seemed disoriented."Well, about that Wolfy, it wasn't a dream," I spoke, and his wolf-head jerked to face me. His eyes widened, and he snarled, showing me his wolf-teeth. "Where is Nigel? What did you do with him? You ate him, didn't you?""Don't be silly," I shook my head. "He's probably in my body right now." I crawled up to him. He was so beautiful. I just wanted to pet him and feel his fur between my finge
MIRANDA'S POVValko and I entered the grand hall, and I didn't expect too much, but the jungle war I was witnessing was nothing my imagination could ever conjure. I almost threw up at the sight of all the red meat and poultry these wolves were ripping into. It was complete chaos in here. Valko hurriedly took his place next to his sister and his father. The blonde woman squatting on beta Valor's lap must be the beta’s mate. I grabbed a seat next to Valko.“What are you doing?” He whispered. The entire table was looking at me weirdly.“I'm sitting down for breakfast. What does it look like I'm doing?” I rolled my eyes. “Well, yeah, I see that, but your place is at the Alpha table, next to your parents,” he gestured to the biggest table in the room.I felt a burden like none I've ever felt, and I followed Valko's finger to where it was pointing. I gulped when I saw the black hair man shooting laser beams at me with his eyes. The little brown-haired woman cowering next to him was staring
MIRANDA'S POV“Do you have to smack your mouth like that when you eat?” I asked. Nigel was devouring the food like he was an animal. Taurus, however, was quiet. He refused to speak to Nigel for unknown reasons. “I'm a guy. This is how we eat,” he grunted. “Well I will not allow you to eat like that when you're in my body. You cannot let my mother see you eating like that.”“About that, I called your parents mom and dad, and they freaked the fuck out.” He tore into the roast beef. “That's because I call them mother and father,” I sighed. “Why am I not surprised,” he licked his fingers. “So what will we do about this situation? It's not like we can tell anybody what has happened to us.”“People would think we're crazy, and I refuse to spend my senior year in an insane asylum,” I shrieked. “This is so weird, it’s tiring.”“I think we have to retrace our steps to figure out why this happened to us.” He burped. “Yes, like the movie Freaky Friday.” I gleamed inside. Lindsey Lohan and Ja
NIGEL'S POVOK man, you can do this. You can do this, I whispered to myself as I glided down the staircase. It wasn't like the neck-biter could do anything in front of the parents without risk revealing the fact that vamp-demons exist. I will be alright, of course I will. I breathed slowly. I saw Mr. and Mrs. W standing by the door with their coats on. “Wait! Are you guys leaving?” I asked.“Honey, you know your father and I do brunch just the two of us every Sundays.”“Yeah, but you can't leave me alone with him,” I whisper shout.“Miranda, don't be like that. You know we trust you and from what we've learnt so far, Lazarus is a good boy,” Mr. W smiled. “Please, if you guys love me, you won't leave me here,” I pleaded. “I know. I'll tell him I have to do this brunch thingy with you guys, and then he'll have to go.”“Miranda Whitmore, I don't know what has gotten into you lately. Is this some kind of teenage crisis?” Mrs. W huffed. “Now that boy is so happy to see you. He brought you
