We pulled into the school and the first two classes of the day went as planned. None of the other students seemed to notice I was gone.
My third class was another story entirely. I had almost forgotten I sat with both the twins in this class.The moment I walked through the door, both of their eyes were on me. Their gazes burned into my skin, the guilt bubbling within me nearly made me nauseous.I walked slowly, my eyes guarded as I looked into their own.It seems the two of them had seen better days. Their eyes looked darker, almost black. Deep rings lined their eyes, making it look as though they needed a good nights sleep.Kade was as gorgeous as ever. His hair tousled on the top and short on the sides. His long sleeve shirt clung to every dip and arch of his body.Alec looked stunning with his longer and tousled hair. His typical leather jacket was in place.They were sitting next to eachother for a chaCapítulos relacionados

My lips hit Kade’s with a hunger I didn’t know I had. For just a second, the tight control I kept on myself slipped. I could truly see how much my body had been craving their touch.They were right—I belonged to them, but I didn’t know if that was enough. I needed normalcy, a normal life with normal people. Not a delusional dad, a murderous ex, abusive parents, and a backstabbing girl who pretended to be my friend. The only bright spots in this were Tori, Kade and Alec. But would they be enough?When Kade’s tongue ran across my lips, I didn’t fight. My tongue ran against his own, savoring the taste of him and committing it to memory. Alec’s lips ran the length of my neck, leaving his marks on my skin.The hard spot in Kade’s pants pressed against me, my panties our only barrier. He ground himself into me with a low growl, hitting against my covered clit.A moan slipped from my parted lips, never once leaving

Grace had let me leave the classroom without any hassle. Her murderous and slightly unhinged demeanor faded as soon as I told her the truth. She even had the audacity to chat with me, asking about my plans once I had left.What frightened me more than her bold threat against Tori was the way she changed with the flip of a switch. I gave rushed, one worded answer in a hurry to leave the classroom.I had just enough time to mask the fear and disgust on my face before Tori found me in the halls. She had already grabbed what she needed from her locker, wandering around in search of me. Her face contorted in confusion as she saw the heat fill my cheeks. Understanding flashed in her eyes as they traveled down my neck. Without a doubt, she was thinking of Alec and Kade.I sat quietly as Tori drove the two of us to the restaurant. We both ran in, grabbing our checks from the manager on duty.“I’m still waiting for that explanation y’know.”
Chapter 35
As much as I wanted to deny the truth, it was sitting right in front of me. I couldn’t help but do a mental check over my own body. I didn’t feel different. Apart from Thalia’s intrusive voice, I felt nearly the same as I always had. It would explain why my face had healed so quickly.You would think I’d be excited, but I wasn’t. Turning into one of these creatures was the last thing I wanted. I wanted—needed normalcy. Sure, some small part of my mind wondered if I could use this against Grace. As much as I wanted to feel guilty over that, I couldn’t.I was yanked from my thoughts by the ringing of a cellphone. The cellphone in my hand was buzzing, a picture of Tori lighting up the screen.“I’ll call you back in ten.” I answered, ending the phone call without another word. My eyes were still locked on the giant wolf—on Garrett.Garrett walked over to a cluster of trees nestled in their back

Thalia had been silent up until we reached the bus terminal. I found myself staring at the brightly lit board, times and dates flashing through my mind. I walked over to theclerk;I pulled a couple bills from my bag. Icouldn’thelp my wandering gaze, my eyes flickering towards the multitude of camera’s in the bus terminal.It was a silly thought, one driven by paranoia and fear. What if they managed to find me? Melissa and Frank were useless and would spare no effort searching for me, it was Garrett I worried about. From the look of his crisp suit and his large house, it was obvious he was wealthy. Would Garrett put forth the effort and money into finding me? Iwasn’tsure.I had to pay extra for the soonest bus to Atlanta, Ga. It would take three hours to get to Atlanta, thankfully there were no stops involved. Anxiety and paranoia clung to me along with the crisp night
Chapter 37
While the bus ride had beensomewhat uncomfortable, Justin's presence was a welcomed distraction. Anything to keep my mind from what I was leaving behind soothed my frayed nerves.At this time of night, there were little options on flights. My options were New York,Texasand Missouri. While New York was anintriguingoption, my money would burn much faster there. The flight to Texaswasn'tuntil the early hours of the morning. Waiting until the sun crested the forest line and hung above the cloudswasn'tan option. The wait alone would unravel me, my nerves turning me into a mess of anxiety.Missouri it was.I knew little about the state, but assumed the weather would besimilar toGeorgia. Humidity tempered with the brilliant sun, warm but notnearly asblazing as Texas or California.I had

Resisting the intense urge topurchaseone of everything, I ordered myself a blueberry muffin and something called a bear claw.I sat down at one of the shiny looking booths, the striped pink and white seats gleamedmerrily. Everything in the bakery looked brand new, from the shimmering booths to the large ovens peaking over the counter.Icouldn’thelp but watch the duo running the counter in silence. It was clear they were related,most likely brotherand sister. Each had the same shade of sandy blonde hair, the same full yet pouty lips. The girl was slim with curves in the right places, looking out of place in the bakery. Iwould’veexpected to see the girl on the cover of a magazine, not at some bakery. The two of them rushed from counter to oven, to prepping tray, to cash register. Each a whirlwind of energy and determination, as I continued watching in silence.
Chapter 39
Kade'sP.o.vI should have listened to that sinking feeling in my gut when I first locked eyes with Alpha Garrett.I should have realized why Aurora's unique eyes were so familiar.It was because I knew her father, Alpha Garrett exceedingly well. It was known he had a daughter, born from his mate but there had been no rumors of another child.In the werewolf community, illegitimate children hold the same standing. An Alpha's first born is in line for the position, regardless of the woman who carried the child.It didn't take long to figure out. The day Alec and I had gone to Aurora's house, only to find Garrett standing in the doorway, arose some suspicions. The two of us knew for sure when we saw Aurora and Garrett out at the restaurant. His eyes were copied onto her face, his nose and cheekbones identical.<

Alec's P.o.v'It doesn't matter. You won't see her again.'Grace's reptilian voice echoed throughout my head, sending waves of pain running down my chest. From the look on Kade's face, he felt the same. Grace might've been cruel and slightly insane, but she wouldn't lie. She was smart enough to tell the truth. I could see Kade's self-control slipping, his eyes darkening murderously. Kade had always struggled with self-control, rarely thinking things through. I liked to believe that was why we worked together so well. Kade was brutal and animalistic, while I was cunning and calculated. Two sides of the same coin, the same person split into two. Before Grace could open her mouth and speak any further, a deafening crack sounded in the house. Grace slumped to the floor, her head bouncing against the hardwood. For a second, I had thought Kade killed her. Her eyes rolled in the back of her head, her eyelids
