Skyler’s POV Gradually regain consciousness, a sharp surge of pain courses through my entire being, prompting me to release a deafening shriek. The commotion catches the attention of my parents, who rush into my room in a state of panic, desperately scanning the area for any potential threats. While I just sit there, my mother's eyes widen in concern and she rushes over to me, placing her hand on my forehead to check for a fever. "Oh my goodness, what's the matter, sweetheart?" she asks, her voice filled with worry and urgency."I can't really explain it, but I suddenly jolted awake, completely taken aback by what I was feeling. It was a horrible pain that seemed to pierce through every inch of my body. Leaving me breathless and in utter shock," I manage to utter, clutching my stomach tightly as if trying to alleviate the discomfort."Are you going to be alright, my little one?" the father asks with genuine concern in his voice."Yes, I think so." I wince in discomfort as another int
Skyler’s POV "Oh, I understand, sweetheart! How about we pay a visit to Neo's pack? It could be a great opportunity for you to spend some time with his sister and enjoy each other's company for a few days once the Tamsin moon has passed," mom proposes. Feeling a mix of frustration and disappointment, I express my concern. "She will most likely perceive me as a freak, too." My emotions intensify as I rise from the table, determined to leave the situation behind. Without wasting any time, I swiftly make my way towards the front door, hastily slipping on my shoes and snatching my bookbag. With a resounding slam, I exit the house and commence my journey towards school, my footsteps echo my determination to face the day ahead. It's incredibly frustrating how I can never seem to catch a lucky break. I find myself muttering under my breath, feeling the weight of my frustration evident in my voice. To make matters worse, as soon as I enter the school, I unintentionally collide with the infa
Mason’s POV While I enter my room, a sense of anticipation fills me, and a smile naturally spreads across my face. The day has been filled with chaos and stress, but I am determined to find solace in my training. With a renewed energy, I step out of the door and head towards the training grounds. I call out to Cameron, knowing that together we can push ourselves to the limit and release any pent-up frustration. However, as I approach him, it becomes clear that anger is consuming him, evident in his tense posture and clenched fists. This experience has fueled my determination even more. Our training sessions involve an active exchange of punches, kicks, and swings, which keeps me on my toes and focused. The atmosphere is highly motivating, pushing me to give my all and strive for mental clarity as we work to improve our skills. As we progress further into the training, we will have the chance to switch partners, which presents a valuable opportunity for each individual to push their
Skyler’s POV Just as soon as I complete my tasks at my locker and gather all the necessary materials for tonight's homework, I securely shut my locker. However, my peaceful moment is abruptly interrupted when jock Tobias forcefully pushes me into the locker, a malicious sneer etched on his face. With a demeaning tone, he utters, "You better get lost, you freak. Nobody wants you around, and nobody will ever accept someone like you." He leans in, exerting his physical dominance to keep me confined within the locker, leaving me feeling helpless and trapped. "Gentlemen, pardon the interruption, but could one of you kindly enlighten me as to why poor Skyler finds herself pressed against the locker?" The principal inquires, although his lack of concern is apparent. "You know," Tobias says with an unnerving sweetness, "I was merely expressing my interest in her principal." His words are laced with a sickening charm that sends shivers down my spine. The way he says it, so casually and nonc
Mason’s POV "Alpha, we've got a bit of a problem," Will exclaims as he rushes in, clearly flustered. "What's the situation?" I hastily stand up, preparing for any possible disorder. “Clark has been detained by Narny at the school, as they investigate allegations of pack member abuse.” Will scans the room as he relays this information. "Wait a minute, are you telling me that there's an Elder here on our pack lands? That's news to me," I say, my tone tinged with irritation. It's obvious that Cameron is involved in this situation, and I can't help but wonder what else he's been keeping from us. Suddenly, a loud knock resonates through the room, causing everyone to turn their attention towards the door. Without hesitation, Narny strides into the office, firmly shutting the door behind them. Their face is etched with anger as they position themselves directly in front of the closed door, demanding an explanation. "Do you have any intention of enlightening me as to why a member of our
Skyler’s POV "Wake up, Skyler! We have to leave in twenty minutes, or you'll be late for school," Mom shouts as she clangs her pots and pans together. "Ugh, I'm on my way," I mutter while I finally finish running a brush through my hair and neatly braiding it. Dragging myself out of bed, I can't help but feel anxious about starting at a new school. The thought of being bullied and ostracized by my peers makes me want to crawl back under the covers. I wish I could have stayed where I was, where at least I knew what to expect. Now, I have to navigate new classes, new teachers, and a whole new environment. It's overwhelming and I can't help but let out a frustrated scream. As I made my way to the kitchen, the weight of the impending change settled heavily on my shoulders. The familiar scent of freshly brewed coffee filled the air, mingling with the soft clinking of silverware as my parents prepared breakfast. I took a seat at the table, my mind swirling with a mix of anxiety and frus
Skyler’s POV With a smile on her face, a stunning girl confidently declares, "Hey, you're occupying my spot." "Oh no, I can't believe I did that!" I quickly stand up, feeling a rush of nerves coursing through me, fully aware that this new school experience was not going to be any different from my previous ones. "Haha, just kidding! No worries, none of the chairs are reserved. By the way, I'm Trina. And you must be Skyler, right?" she says with a friendly smile, taking a seat beside me. Wow, I can't believe it! You're Neo's sister! I can't help but smack my forehead in disbelief for not realizing it sooner. Trina gives me a puzzled look and then suddenly has a realization. "Oh my goodness, you're Beta Cameron's daughter! I can't believe I didn't recognize you right away. It's been ages since I last saw you. It seems like whenever you and your parents are around, I'm always busy socializing and flitting around like a social butterfly." "Hold on. Do you guys have a history togethe
Skyler’s POV “You don't have to share with us right away! That's perfectly fine. However, I want you to understand that we will never reject you just because you are unique.” Trina says with a warm smile. “I appreciate your concern, but this is something that my parents have always emphasized as a private matter not to be shared with anyone. It holds a significant importance to them, and I have respected their wishes by keeping it to myself.” I say sadly, looking away. Then we start chatting and laughing, and I realize that this is what life is all about. It's not about being popular or fitting in. It's about finding people who accept you for who you are and who make you feel good about yourself. Not only that, but it's about being part of a friend circle, a group of people who share your interests and values. As the lunch bell rings again, signaling the end of our break, I feel a sense of sadness. I don't want this moment to end. But I know that there will be other moments lik
