When Riviera gets home, her mother is in the kitchen waiting for her.
"Riviera, where have you been? School was out there hours ago. Why are you just coming home?" Mary-Kate asks.
Riviera averts her eyes to see what Justina had prepared for dinner.
"Look at me when I'm talking to you. I was worried. I don't think you understand how serious this place is.'' Mary-Kate adds.
"Sorry, I just went for a run mom." Riviera responds.
"Can you not do this for a while? There were a few attacks this morning until the Alpha figures things out. I don't want you running around unsupervised or unauthorised." Mary-Kate tells her.
Riviera gives a tight smile. "ok, can I eat now?"
Mary-Kate sigh, "you are a big girl Riviera, you have to start taking responsibility for your actions."
Riviera ignores her mother's words as she picks at her dinner.
The tuna casserole didn't look or smell appetising to her.
"Honey, are you feel
I feel sorry for my girl Riviera.
The next morning when Riviera wakes, her mother is already gone, leaving her with Justina as usual. "Morning." She greets, but Justina didn't even as to so grace her with a look. "Ok." Riviera didn't bother eating the breakfast that she set before her, afraid that she might have done something to the food. Riviera drives to school, almost forgetting that she and Kylie are no longer friends, so there is no need to pick her up. When Riviera pulls up in the parking lot, she notice that the school doors are locked and her school mates milling around outside. She looks at the time, thinking that she is early and could try to ask someone what is happening. "Just readsomeone'smind."Luca tells her. Which she does to save herself from any embarrassments. It turns out that the principal isn't there as yet, and she is the one to bring home the key instead of one of the
"Students, I have some news. Because of the high level of you all now shifting into your wolves, the Alpha has called Master class earlier than normal. It will be with him this time, so do your best. You are dismissed. And go straight to the gym."Excited chatters fill the room, as everyone files out to hurry to the gym.So far, Riviera knows that there are close to 30 students that now have their wolves, and she couldn't wait to see what their powers are."Time to show off,let'shave a 50/50 control, so we can show themwhatwe are made of."When Riviera gets to the gym, the first person she sees is the Alpha. Her heart race faster when he looks her way and smiles.Riviera drifts to the back, trying to blend in and hide from Sabastian's eyes."Ok, so I have a list of names here. Some of you have to go over the process once again, because of your odd fears and not actually dis
As Riviera makes her way to the lunchroom, she can hear Kylie calling after her."Riviera, can you please just wait?""For what, so you can pretend to be my friend again?"Kylie looks away from Riviera's piercing eyes."I'm sorry, ok, I should have never said those things. But right now, I just want to know if you are ok. What Jeremiah just did was so uncool."Riviera scoffs, "what both of you did and said was uncool, uncalled for and unforgivable. We have been friends. I don't care about the time period, but I guess it was all an act. You both hated me and only pretended as if you do. An apology can't fix things.""No, that's not it." Kylie tries to reach out for Riviera, but she backs away."What is it then?"Kylie looks down, then looks at Riviera with sad eyes."I'm sorry but-""Save it." Riviera cuts her off. "You are nothing but a jealous bi*ch, I have always seen it but turned a blind eye and that Jeremiah.
Not knowing where to go, Riviera decides on going home."Oh." Mary-Kate says in shock at seeing Riviera home so early. Her favourite coffee mug slips out of her hand and shatters on the tiled floor."Well, hello to you too." Riviera turns to walk back out the front door, but the words her mother said stops her."You might be on your own for a week or so. I have a business trip to New York. And Justina will be taking some time off. She isn't feeling so well.""So, what are you telling me that for?"Not waiting for her to respond, Riviera slams the door behind her.Not knowing where to go, she walks around aimlessly until she finds herself at the beach.Beta Shane is there talking to himself about ending things with someone by the name of Joan. A much older woman than he."Do you want something?" Shane asks.Riviera gives him a dirty look and continues to walk along the shore.“Hey, wait. Why aren't you in sch
"What do you mean, someone was here? I smell nothing." Sabastian sniffs the air, before stooping down to touch the ground, then he stiffens. He pulls Riviera behind."What?""It's just like the other morning, that presence.""Yeah, I know Alpha." Riviera said in a mocking tone."Ever since I got here, I have had a weird feeling about this place. It made my wolf antsy."Sabastian turns to Riveria, "didn't you recently got your wolf."Riviera slightly moves her head from side to side, "was hiding it because of reasons."Sabastian takes Riviera's hands, "you can talk to me. I won't judge or hurt you."For some odd reason, she feels safer with Sabastian, much more so than when she is around her mother. So she tells him everything."You knew you were a wolf for that long?" Sabastian questions, he then scratches his chin, thinking about all she said. About her wolf telling her to do bad things, about all her dreams, about what
"Like I said, you will be sleeping in my room.""And again, Alpha. I refuse.""I would rather for you to sleep with me, for reasons.""Oh my gods, you are impossible. I don't feel comfortable with this. I hardly even know you.""That's why you will stay in my room. What better way than to be close and get to know each other."Riviera groan and accepts defeat, knowing that she wouldn't be able to win."Fine, just let me stop at home and get some clothes.""In my opinion, you don't need clothes."Riviera cast a look at Sabastian."But clothes are brilliant cover-ups.""I never knew that you were so talkative. I always took you for a serious no bullsh*t taking person.""Different personality for different people."The two fall in a comfortable silent as they walk the path from the cave, and onto the main road."All along, this has been your hiding spot. I have frequented this location so many tim
"You are such a hothead." Sabastian says, sliding Riviera down his body, causing her entire front part could rub against his."Was that even necessary?" Riviera hits at his chest.Sabastian holds onto her for longer than she expects him to and stares into her eyes."Nice room." Riviera pulls away from him, breaking the contact, thinking that he would have kissed her.Sabastian said nothing as he watches Riviera closely. His wolf cries out, begging for him to take their mate."Please tell me you feel the same way I do. I can't be the only one whose senses are running wild."At first, Riviera shakes her head, but the look on Sabastian's face makes her stop."I do, but I don't know how to feel. I don't know if what I'm feeling is real or not. Plus, you are so old."Sabastian snorts, "old?""Yes, you're like almost 30.""21, I'm the youngest Alpha this pack has ever had.""21, but how?""I was Alpha sinc
The only place Riviera could think of going, is to the cave. So she does, by teleporting herself there.The place has a more earthly scent to it, I sign that rain would fall.Riviera plop down beside her bags, not wanting to feel sorry for herself, but she does.If she wasn't so afraid of her feelings or hated her mother, she would have been in a bed under the covers ready to sleep."Stop your whining, you chose this, the path of the lone wolf." Luca barks.Just then a loud rumbling is heard outside of the cave, then the walls shake.There is a flash of light, then the loud rumbling comes again.
