I place the blankets and pillows in the small shower, pulled out some water bottles, and was hit by another contraction. So that was about 10 min apart. I sat down in my makeshift birth room. I did some stretches that are supposed to speed along the process of labor while I wait, counted time, and continued to contract. It took hours before I was contracting every few minutes. I reached down and I could not only feel that I was dilated but I was also touching the top of my pups head. It was time to push and push hard.<br /> I stood up into a crouch and grabbed the handhold and I pushed. I was in the middle of my first push when the bathroom door opened. There stood Kelly with my Mate standing behind her...<br /> —<br /> I grabbed my supplies and headed to my right since the last two people went straight and to the left. I walked for about a half-hour to make sure I was far enough away from everyone else. I had just walked into the clearing that was almost identical to my dream. It was a clearing around a large oak tree that has light-colored bark, low hanging branches, with Spanish moss hanging all over it. I pulled out my rubber mat and unfolded it and laid it at the base of the tree. I sat as lady-like as I could in my attire using the tree to lean back on. I sat and stared at the stars praying that my mate will find me quickly and that we will be all that mates should be.<br /> After a while, flairs and fireworks were shot up into the sky and the sound of distant howls could be heard. That was the signal that the males had entered the hunt. I was about three-fourths of a mile out, it seems, from the start. I opened my water bottle and took a sip while I sat and listened to the sound of the woods. Every now and then you would hear a distant growl, moan, shriek, squeal or moan.<br /> After about an hour I heard a rustling behind me, and also one to the front of me. The sound in front of me increased while the sound behind me stopped completely. I saw eyes shine at me through the brush and I stood up slowly keeping the tree at my back as protection. A grey wolf stalked out into the opening. This was not my mate.<br /> He was circling in closer when I heard a distant howl from behind me, that had taken my attention away from the grey wolf. My mistake, because he took that instance to pounce on me and shift into his human form. He was probably nearing the age limit of thirty-five and was completely undressed. The grey wolf had sandy blonde hair, was still well built, and was now hovering over top of me. As his hands tried to roam all over my body, I tried to fight my way from under him. This only enticed him more, since every time I squirmed, I was inadvertently rubbing myself against his manhood. In the distance, I heard a loud menacing roar. You could tell that the growl held authority and the grey wolfman stilled in his actions.<br /> In the blink of an eye, he was pulled off of me and thrown very harshly out of the clearing. That's when I smelled him. He smelled amazing, he smelled like Nautica cologne, mixed with fresh rainwater and blueberries. Since he had shifted he was undressed as the day he was born.<br /> He was more perfect than in my dream. As he walked towards me, you could see every muscle in his legs flex. He rolled his shoulders back, and his broad chest rippled towards his sculpted eight-pack that continued down into a perfect V. I lowered my eye and caught a glimpse of what lay between those powerful legs. Just as in my dream it was long and thick and standing at full attention. I was already wet with want.<br /> As he approached me he said just one word. "MINE!"<br /> I replied just as I did in the dream "YOURS!"<br /> That is where the dream ended and my new nightmare started.<br /> As my mate caught up to me, he grabbed me and pushed me hard into the tree. His left hand wrapped around my throat, and as I was forced to look into his eyes, and they are pitch black with no white. The darkest part of his wolf is at the surface, and he roughly turns my head to the left. I'm lifted and pressed harder into the tree. Without any warning or request, he is pushing into me. I feel my first time rip in another second.<br /> As I scream out loud from the pain, he growls in my ear "Shut up, I don't want to hear a peep from you little mate. Your gonna take what I have to give you no matter what."<br /> I silently cried as he continued pounding into me. I thought he was never going to finish. It felt like it had been more than an hour before he was finally ready to release. As he was nearing his finish, he quickened past inhuman speeds. His breathing was ragged and I felt like he was about to snap me in two. He finally let go of my neck, grabbing onto my hips, positioning me at a slightly different angle. He pounded into me as hard as he could three more times, leaving an indentation of my back in the tree, as he came filling me to the brim with his seed. As he finished his canines extended and he bites harshly into my neck causing me to scream once more. He stilled and caught his breath as he released his teeth from my neck. Once he was done filling me, he pulled out and dropped me to the ground.<br /> I fell hard, and I cried out again as pain spread up my spine from my tailbone. Maybe my mate wouldn't be better, than returning to my father. No, I want this. I want to go. He marked me. I have to go. I always knew that the possibility of my mate being gentle with me the first time was low. I never expected that but wolves are wild.<br /> He barked at me to stop, "Stop crying before I leave you here. My wolf got what he wanted, to feel his mate, and I got my fill. I'm not a repeat lay. I don't do the monogamous thing. So do not think that just because I am your mate that I will not reject you and leave you if you keep crying like a child. I have women throwing themselves at me every night. Any one of them would have loved to have just been you. To feel me, all of me. Have me pump myself into them. Now get up and follow me, quietly."<br /> I flinched expecting him to hit me, but the blow never came. I looked up and he had turned to walk off. I had stopped crying, I learned at a very young age, how to not show my pain. I had a new problem though. I could not walk, I was barely able to stand. Between being dropped on my tail bone, nearly being split in two as he entered me, and over an hour's worth of relentless pounding, I only managed to hold myself up for a moment. At that moment I felt his warm seed run down my leg before I collapsed on the ground. My whole body shut down in that instance, and I was swallowed into the darkness.<br /> ...<br /> I woke up in a comfortable bed feeling six shades of gross. Every inch of my body hurt. I rolled until I found a bedside table, and feeling a lamp, I turned on the light. I was in a beautiful room with a large bed, an even larger TV, and a few dressers and stands. The room was all different shades of blues and greys. I liked it. I felt horrible, and I knew that there was no way I was going to be able to walk to the bathroom, so I rolled, scooted, and crawled my way in there.<br /> I managed to turn on the light and wished I hadn't. My bottom half had a trail that went from in between my leg and ran till it reached my ankles. The trail was a mixture of blood and semen. The white dress that I was wearing has patched with blood, dirt, and puke.<br /> The pain was starting to ease off since I have accelerated healing as a wolf, but my wolf had been quiet since we meet our mate. I know that, like me, that was not how she wanted to become a woman, and that is not how we wanted to be treated by our mate. Still, I see this as an opportunity, I don't think I will see Alpha Devon for a while, so maybe for the first time I can remember, I can fully heal. Physically that is, emotionally I don't think I will ever be right. I can handle that though. I was already damaged before I got here.<br /> I scrubbed the remnants of mating off of my body, I watched as blood washed down the drain. I was sitting on the shower floor since I still could not bear to stand. The warm water smarted my lady parts, but it did truly did seem as all should be healed within a few days.<br /> ...<br /> I grabbed my breakfast and started eating while I watched a rerun of Big Bang Theory. I got about halfway through my breakfast and had to run to the bathroom to get sick. I threw out most of the breakfast and choose to nibble on the toast and drink the water for now. Once I finished that, I switched to the yoga channel and started to stretch and bend. As I was switching from one position to another, I caught my big toe on the bed and put a huge gash in it. I hobbled into the bathroom and pulled out the first aid kit. I pulled out two of the biggest band-aids that were in there plus an wipe. I cleaned my toe and wrapped it in the band-aids. As I was closing up the kit, I picked up the little box of tampons and looked up at the wall where I marked off the number of days that I have been here.<br /> I realized that I had been here for 37 days and have yet to need this box. Maybe it was due to stress that I had skipped this month, I tried to lie to myself. I knew better, even when I had been beaten within an inch of my life, I was still 28 days regular. I should have gotten it about a week after I had gotten here, and I would be due for my second one about now.<br /> I placed my right hand on my stomach, trying to get a sense of if there is something in there. I pulled my shirt up and stared into the mirror. I noticed that I was shaped differently now than before, and it wasn't just from my daily yoga routine. My boobs looked fuller than they should be, and when I turn to the side, my stomach which should be flat has a small but prominent bump in between my hip bones. When did this happen? How..... well I know-how. I start to hyperventilate.<br /> What am I suppose to do? My mate doesn't want me, and from his conversation with his Beta, he doesn't want any pups either. Will, he hurt them. Will, he hurt me to hurt them. I sit and cry. There's nothing else I can do. While I cry, I decide that I will hide the pregnancy. I want my pup, even if the Alpha doesn't. I have nothing to wear but oversized shirts anyway. Kelly is my only visitor, and we barely make eye contact, so I don't think she will notice.<br /> I feel like a stray dog that wandered in pregnant and will be kicked out when my new owner finds out. My wolf is going crazy now with the idea of having a pup. She has been pretty quiet due to being caged. She's excited to have her mate's heir.<br /> "Bella, our mate doesn't want us. So why are you excited to have his pup." I ask my wolf.<br /> "It's our mate's pup!" That is all she can come up with. As if that answers everything.<br /> Maybe our mate will let us keep our pup, in here. Another prisoner of war just like me. Give me the supplies to keep him or her alive. Just like he does for me. I am definitely going to have to hide this. After staring at my body for a while longer, I pulled my shirt back on. After what I'm guessing was morning sickness, busting open my toe and realizing I was pregnant. I decided that today was the perfect day to stay in bed.<br /> Since I'm a wolf, my term of pregnancy will be about twenty-five weeks. So I'm about five weeks now, which leaves me with another twenty weeks to go. While I was still in school, I was in training to be a nurse. When you have to perform first aid on yourself nearly every day, it sounded like a good life choice. I had helped deliver seven pups while helping at the Pack Clinic, so I already had a very good idea of what I was going to need for the birth. Since it is a self-birth, that I plan on doing by myself, my best option would be in the shower. It will be easy to get into. There are extra blankets and pillows that I can lay down on the floor. There are sturdy handholds on the wall, that I can grip onto. Along with a ready supply of water to clean things up. I need tocome up with something to cut the umbilical cord with, but I have plenty of time for that.<br /> Once I found out I was pregnant, time flew by. I wasn't as depressed as I was before. I had something to live for. My stomach is growing at an alarming rate because I feel as if I'm as big as a house. I have continued to keep myself healthy by doing prego yoga, so most of my baby weight is in my boobs and belly. I have noticed though that my hips seem a little wider and my bottom is filling out a little more. I have about a week left until I should be due. Kelly is an idiot because she has no clue what is happening in here.<br /> I've been having random contractions over the last week know as Braxton Hicks. As I stood up to start my daily routine. I felt an immense sense of pressure in my stomach, followed by a washing wave of relief. Then I felt the wetness that now covered the floor. Well, that just happened. With my water breaking a week early I was a little nervous. I had come up with a plan for cutting the cord so I had to do that now before I was in too much pain.<br /> I was hit by a contraction at that moment and leaned on the bed for support. I rode it out and started to count the time in between. I moved into the bathroom being careful not to slip in my broken water. I took my t-shirt off and hung it over the mirror. I punched the mirror as hard as I can and removed a large piece to use as a makeshift knife. I pulled out the first aid kit, and cleaned up the edges of the mirror with an wipe, and smeared Neosporin on the edges just for good measure. I pulled out my supplies from under the bathroom counter.<br /> I was just about to put everything into the shower when I noticed the time. Kelly would be arriving any minute. I could set a watch off of her punctuality. I turned on the shower hoping that she would think I overslept and was just not out yet. From where the door is she shouldn't see the puddle I left. A moment after she opened the bedroom door I turned off the shower, so again she would think I was just running a little behind.<br /> "Breakfast and fresh towels are here," Kelly yelled.<br /> I opened the door just enough to stick my head out and yell "Ok great" in a sarcastic tone.<br /> I heard Kelly close and lock the door again and I continued setting up for the birth. I place the blankets and pillows in the small shower, pulled out some water bottles, and was hit by another contraction. So that was about 10 min apart. I sat down in my makeshift birth room. I did some stretches that are supposed to speed along the process of labor while I wait, counted time, and continued to contract. It took hours before I was contracting every few minutes. I reached down and I could not only feel that I was dilated but I was also touching the top of my pups head. It was time to push and push hard.<br /> I stood up into a crouch and grabbed the handhold and I pushed. I was in the middle of my first push when the bathroom door opened.

Ruby is back," Everett said nonchalantly.<br /> "Back then, Ruby was supposed to marry me, but you tricked her into going abroad and delayed the wedding," Everett continued.<br /> "You knew all these years that I still had feelings for her, and on our wedding day, you even drugged me."<br /> "Stella, after being Mrs. Howard for three years, it's time for you to step aside."<br /> ********<br /> Inside Villa dei Sogni d'Oro, the man's breath, tinged with alcohol, complemented the distinct lines of his muscles.<br /> Stella Cooper's breath caught in her throat.<br /> "Everett..."<br /> Stella murmured.<br /> The butterfly birthmark next to the woman's ear shimmered a blood red in the moonlight.<br /> The man caressed the woman's ear, creating an ambiguous atmosphere in the room. Everett Howard's body grew even hotter.<br /> The room was filled with allure.<br /> In the bathroom, the sound of the high-pressure shower drowned out Stella's rapid heartbeat on the bed.<br /> Her cheeks flushed, a faint smile playing on her lips.<br /> The man... had never been this forward before...<br /> Could it be that he cared a little bit about her?<br /> In an instant, the man emerged from the bathroom, his lower body wrapped in a towel, his beautiful eight-pack abs outlining his body.<br /> Water droplets freely flowed down his body.<br /> But Everett seemed indifferent, casually strolling out.<br /> Stella lovingly placed a glass of water on the floor, "darling..."<br /> However, she was met with Everett's indifference.<br /> The man coldly walked to the desk, opened a drawer, took out a document, and handed it to Stella.<br /> "Sign it, let's get a divorce."<br /> Snap!<br /> The glass in her hand fell to the ground, her fingers trembling slightly, the hope that had just ignited in her heart turned to ice.<br /> She raised her already red eyes, tears welling up, and looked at Everett—<br /> "Why...?"<br /> "Ruby is back," Everett said nonchalantly.<br /> Stella was stunned: Ruby Cooper is back?<br /> The true daughter of the Cooper Family, who was supposed to marry Everett... is back?<br /> But didn't she originally refuse to marry Everett, the second son of the Howard Corporation lineage, and force Stella to marry him instead, because she didn't want to marry someone born out of wedlock?<br /> She ran away abroad to enjoy herself, didn't she?<br /> Why would she come back now?<br /> "Back then, Ruby was supposed to marry me, but you tricked her into going abroad and delayed the wedding," Everett continued.<br /> "You knew all these years that I still had feelings for her, and on our wedding day, you even drugged me."<br /> "Stella, after being Mrs. Howard for three years, it's time for you to step aside."<br /> Everett's words were devoid of warmth, utterly heartless.<br /> Stella couldn't believe it.<br /> "Is this what Ruby told you?" Stella asked.<br /> "Yes, if it weren't for Ruby telling me, I would still be in the dark because of you."<br /> "Stella, if it weren't for the old man liking you, I wouldn't have married you."<br /> "I know you love money, the money in the divorce agreement should be enough for you, go back to the Cooper Family, stop making things difficult for Ruby."<br /> Every word Everett said felt like a stab in Stella's heart.<br /> She had never done any of those things he mentioned!<br /> She had never made things difficult for Ruby, in fact, ever since Ruby was recognized by the Cooper Family, she felt indebted to her.<br /> She tried to please her in every way, even pleasing the entire Cooper Family, and in the Cooper Family, Stella had become a servant!<br /> Everett didn't know any of this...<br /> Now, Stella felt that her ten years of secret love and three years of marriage were simply a joke.<br /> Everett's phone vibrated, he looked down and saw Ruby's call—<br /> He quickly answered, and three seconds later, an anxious look appeared on his face.<br /> "What? Ruby had an accident? Which hospital?"<br /> "I'm on my way!"<br /> Almost as soon as he hung up the phone, Everett put on his clothes and left the bedroom without looking back.<br /> Stella watched his back, feeling like her heart had turned to ashes.<br /> It turned out that between her and Ruby, whether it was the parents of the Cooper Family or Everett, they would choose Ruby.<br /> Then what was she...?<br /> Picking up a pen, Stella signed her name, feeling a sense of daze.<br /> The doorbell rang.<br /> Stella was slightly stunned: Could it be... Everett...?<br /> Was he unable to bear leaving her and came back?<br /> A hint of joy flashed in Stella's eyes, and then she ran barefoot from the second-floor bedroom to the door.<br /> Just as she opened the door, handcuffs were placed on her hands.<br /> "Ms. Cooper, you are being taken into custody for hit-and-run."<br /> Stella never expected that the one greeting her at the door would be the police.<br /> She was in a daze, at a loss, and was taken directly to the police station.<br /> No matter how she tried to explain, it was of no use.<br /> The surveillance in the area of the incident was damaged, and the car involved in the accident was still under Stella's name...<br /> What was going on?<br /> Stella desperately tried to explain, and the police finally agreed to let her make a phone call to her family.<br /> But Mr. and Mrs. Cooper didn't answer, and finally, in her despair, Everett picked up the phone.<br /> "Hello, sister, what's the matter with Everett?" A coquettish voice came from the other end of the line.<br /> Stella was stunned: Ruby... how could she have Everett's phone...<br /> Are they together now?<br /> "Ruby, is that your car? Why are you trying to frame me!"<br /> Stella wore handcuffs, her fair hands stained with blood.<br /> The woman on the phone laughed.<br /> "Of course I hit the person, but how could my parents let me go to jail, I am the biological daughter of the Cooper Family."<br /> "Unlike you, just a mistaken adopted daughter, of course you can be sacrificed."<br /> "This idea was given to me by my parents, they said only if you disappear, Mrs. Howard's position will be mine."<br /> Stella never expected Ruby Cooper to be so ruthless.<br /> And her foster parents, they were also so malicious.<br /> "You clearly didn't want to marry... you said you wanted to play for a few more years..."<br /> Stella couldn't believe it.<br /> "Don't be silly, back then Everett wasn't the Head of the Howard Corporation, who wouldn't want to marry now?"<br /> "You just sit in jail, we have everything arranged, there won't be any loopholes."<br /> As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of the door opening came from the phone.<br /> Ruby's charming voice came again -<br /> "Everett... you're here... oh... don't kiss me here, you're so naughty..."<br /> The ambiguous voice lingered in her ears.<br /> Stella felt her heart twisting, almost painfully.<br /> At that moment, the police snatched the phone, without waiting for Stella to explain, they had the prison guard take her away.<br /> Ruby was right, the Cooper Family had everything arranged.<br /> Stella was thrown into the most terrifying women's prison in New York.<br /> It is said that almost no one who comes here can leave intact -<br /> Three years later.<br /> "Prisoner 887, due to your good behavior, multiple commendations, and outstanding performance, you are allowed early release!"<br /> A very thin figure staggered out of the prison.<br /> Outside the prison, the sun was shining.<br /> But she squinted, as if not used to it.<br /> Buzz -<br /> A gust of wind, a row of luxury cars suddenly rushed towards her, making her take a few steps back.<br /> From the luxury car, a group of well-dressed bodyguards got out.<br /> The man in front, wearing a black trench coat and black sunglasses, with a hint of a wicked smile on his lips.<br /> He approached the woman, and when he was a step away, he suddenly knelt down -<br /> "Boss, welcome back."<br /> Stella Cooper looked at Nathan, a wry smile on her face as she asked, "How is everything arranged?"<br /> Nathan nodded respectfully, "Everything has been arranged perfectly. Boss, please get in the car."<br /> Stella got into Nathan Evans' Rolls-Royce and they sped off to City General Hospital.<br /> They took the elevator to the top floor and entered the VIP ward.<br /> In the intensive care unit, a frail figure lay on the hospital bed, bringing tears to Stella's eyes.<br /> "Teacher..."<br /> "Boss, as per your instructions, we have invested the money in our account into this hospital to provide the best treatment for Ms. Jones," Nathan explained, not wanting to see his boss upset.<br /> Stella nodded slightly.<br /> Three years ago, she had entered prison and had been bullied at every turn under Ruby's schemes. She had even been nearly killed a few times.<br /> It was her teacher, a skilled doctor, who had saved her and taught her the art of medicine to save lives.<br /> The teacher had also suffered a tragic fate, having been falsely accused and imprisoned by a scoundrel she had loved, and had been poisoned.<br /> A healer cannot heal themselves.<br /> It was truly a cruel fate.<br /> "Did the teacher take the CardioShield I made in prison?" Stella asked.<br /> Nathan quickly took it out of his pocket, "Yes, she did, and there's more."<br /> "Boss, you don't know, this miracle drug of yours is now being sold on the black market for a billion dollars a pill..."<br /> Before Nathan could finish, they heard a commotion in the corridor outside the VIP ward.<br /> A group of people were pushing a hospital bed towards the end of the corridor.<br /> They were saying, "Cooper Corporation Chairman Adrian Johnson has been in a major car accident, what are we going to do?"<br /> "What?! Johnson Corporation?! He's the richest man in the country! If something happens to him, his four sons will flatten our hospital, won't they?"<br /> "Those four sons of the Johnson Family are not to be trifled with, we need to figure out what to do quickly!"<br /> The doctors and nurses were in a frenzy.<br /> One female doctor said, "I just checked the report, he's not only bleeding heavily, but he also has damage to his heart and brain."<br /> "If we don't use some extreme measures, we might not be able to save him..."<br /> The leader-like figure glanced at her, "What extreme measures?"<br /> "Electric shock therapy," she whispered.<br /> The leader was immediately horrified, "How dare you do such a thing to President Johnson?"<br /> "That electric shock therapy only saved a life, but afterwards he will be a vegetable!"<br /> Paula Kelly shrugged, "But at least his life was saved, and later he called for the four young masters to come early, gave the patient a few shots of cardiac stimulant, and even said a few words..."<br /> "Maybe the wealthy elite are in conflict, and those four young masters have been thinking..."<br /> "In a dignified hospital, a group of doctors, instead of thinking about saving lives, are thinking about so many outside evil ways?"<br /> "I think two years ago, City General Hospital should have closed down!"<br /> The speaker was Stella, who had just walked out of the VIP ward.<br /> Her eyes were cold, like frost, sweeping over everyone.<br /> Everyone trembled slightly in fear.<br /> Two years ago, City General Hospital had a major medical accident, lost the lawsuit miserably, and paid countless compensation.<br /> It was almost on the verge of closing down.<br /> It was a mysterious investment that saved City General Hospital, and also brought a lot of medical information and medical secrets to City General Hospital.<br /> This saved City General Hospital from its decline.<br /> But except for some senior officials of City General Hospital, no one knew where this mysterious investment came from.<br /> However, since City General Hospital regained its reputation, it has now started to "float" again.<br /> They have started to engage in such despicable activities again.<br /> The female doctor named Paula Kelly, upon hearing this, seemed a bit displeased and took a few steps forward.<br /> "Who are you? Do we need your interference in the internal affairs of our hospital?"<br /> Her tone was disdainful.<br /> Stella snorted, not even bothering to speak for herself.<br /> Nathan followed from behind, "This is the divine doctor I invited."<br /> Paula still looked disdainful, "Divine doctor? Why haven't I heard of him, and besides, who are you, and why do you have the right to invite a divine doctor to our hospital?"<br /> Before she could finish speaking, Paula was pulled aside by the leader behind her.<br /> "Shut up," the man said disdainfully.<br /> "Dad! Why are you helping an outsider?" Paula was puzzled.<br /> Harper Kelly glared at his daughter: Although he didn't know the person in front of him referred to as a divine doctor, he had seen Nathan before.<br /> At the previous shareholders' meeting, he had come and sat in the first place. Harper guessed that he was the legendary mysterious shareholder.<br /> "Dare I ask, Mr. Evans, which hospital's miracle doctor is this? Or which research institute's?" Harper's attitude was obviously much better than his own daughter's.<br /> Nathan didn't say much, he just took out the small porcelain bottle he had just made and handed it to Harper, "This is the medicine developed by the miracle doctor."<br /> Harper took it and opened it, then was stunned, "This... this is CardioShield?!"<br /> "CardioShield? The legendary miracle drug?"<br /> "You can't even buy one for a billion on the black market!"<br /> "That's really a miracle doctor, it's said that a dying person can hang on with just one pill!"<br /> The admiration was endless, but Paula was still angry.<br /> So Eccentric said, "Since the miracle doctor is here, there happens to be a tricky surgery going on right now, why not let the miracle doctor show us some skills?"<br /> "This is the billionaire Adrian Johnson, who just went through a major car accident, and we are currently helpless, we can only maintain his life with a ventilator."<br /> "If the miracle doctor has the ability, then bring him back, otherwise... I don't think we should call him a miracle doctor!"<br /> Paula was trying to throw the problem to Stella.<br /> Stella naturally saw through it.<br /> She smirked, didn't agree, and instead said, "If I cure the patient, does that count as solving your problem?"<br /> Harper quickly stepped forward, "It counts, it counts, whatever the miracle doctor says is what it is."<br /> Stella nodded, then pointed at Paula's nose, "Okay, then I want her to kneel down, kowtow, and apologize to this patient."<br /> "What?!" Paula raised her voice.<br /> "What, are you afraid?" Stella showed a mocking expression.<br /> Paula gritted her teeth, "Who's afraid, treat you first, if you cure you, then I'll kneel!"<br /> Stella gave a faint smile, then turned around, directly had a room cleared for herself, changed into surgical attire, and prepared to treat the patient.<br /> Harper watched as Adrian was pushed into the operating room, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.<br /> "Daughter... you're too, too impulsive!"<br /> If anything happened to Adrian, the entire hospital would be held responsible!<br /> "Dad, what are you afraid of?"<br /> "That woman is treating on her own, if she cures him, it's on us, if she doesn't, it's on her."<br /> Paula's words also convinced her father.<br /> The surgery was still in progress.<br /> At the end of the corridor, there came the sound of hurried footsteps.<br /> Everyone turned around to see a woman in a silk suit, with a layer of sweat and anxiety on her elegant face, walking towards them.<br /> "Mrs. Johnson..." Harper hurried forward to greet her.<br /> "How is my husband?" Although Mrs. Johnson, Sophia Edwin, was considered a heroine among women, a Lady from a cultured family, anyone would be anxious upon hearing that their husband's life was in danger.<br /> Paula interjected, "Oh, Mrs. Johnson, we originally wanted to do everything we could to save President Johnson, but our shareholders found a miracle doctor, and we couldn't do anything..."<br /> Nathan was also waiting at the door, and upon hearing this, he raised an eyebrow coldly.<br /> Paula trembled in fear.<br /> Sophia, who was never one to talk too much, gave her a faint look and remained silent.<br /> Paula felt embarrassed and had to shut up.<br /> At that moment, the lights in the operating room went out.<br /> Stella called for the nurses to push the bed out.<br /> At that moment, Adrian was still unconscious, his face pale.<br /> "Miracle doctor, you said you could save him, right? Why is President Johnson still like this after the surgery?" Paula questioned.<br /> Stella gave her a cold look.<br /> "Are you an idiot?"<br /> "I performed the surgery, not a magic spell that would bring him back to life immediately."<br /> "I suggest you go to the neurology department and see how someone with your cognitive abilities became a doctor in this hospital."<br /> With that, Stella waved her hand, instructing the nurses to take Adrian to the ward.<br /> Paula wanted to retort, but couldn't find the words, so she could only stomp her feet in frustration.<br /> "Doctor, how is my husband?" Mrs. Johnson asked anxiously as she entered the ward.<br /> Stella took off her mask as she spoke, "He's fine now. He should wake up soon."<br /> In the moment Stella took off her mask, the butterfly birthmark behind her ear was revealed, shocking Mrs. Johnson.<br /> "Daughter..."<br /> Stella was stunned, looking up to see Mrs. Johnson with tears in her eyes.<br /> "What?"<br /> "You are my daughter."<br /> "This butterfly birthmark was left by me when I gave birth to you."<br /> "When I was pregnant with you, your father and I went to invest in the countryside, got caught in a heavy rain, and then I went into premature labor and gave birth to you..."<br /> "The conditions at the rural clinic were terrible at that time. After you were born, you were in my arms for three seconds, and mommy remembered the birthmark on you. Then you were taken away by the nurse..."<br /> "That night, suddenly a mudslide came. Mommy risked her life to find you, but the clinic collapsed. Your father and I were almost killed if it weren't for the police getting us out..."<br /> "They said... you were gone... Mommy almost cried herself to death... even went insane for a while. It was your father who adopted another girl that helped me slowly recover..."<br /> As she spoke, Sophia slowly approached, her hand with warmth gently touching Stella's ear.<br /> With a mother's tenderness.<br /> "Sweetie, maybe it's a mother's intuition, but all these years I always felt like you were still alive."<br /> "Three years ago, mommy even found a lead on your whereabouts, but suddenly, the trail went cold."<br /> Upon hearing this, Stella's heart skipped a beat.<br /> If she had doubts before, this sentence struck a chord in her heart.<br /> Because three years ago was when she went to prison.<br /> If they weren't really looking for her all this time, how would they have noticed her disappearance?<br /> Could it be... she really is a Johnson Family's daughter?

Cole asked surprised.<br /> "So you knew we were mates this whole time?" I asked slowly.<br /> "Yeah."<br /> I slapped him.<br /> "I hate you." I spat out, my eyes filling with tears.<br /> "No-"<br /> "Yes I do! You used me when we are supposed soul mates?" I screamed, tears pouring down my face.<br /> "You are dead to me! You don't want me and I'm sure I don't want you." I cried out.<br /> "Cole I don't want you as a mate." I whispered.<br /> ****** <br /> "Christina! WAKE UP!" Mom screamed from downstairs.<br /> Today was my first day at Lincoln High School. Surprisingly, I was excited. No, excited would be an understatement, I was ecstatic. At my old school, I was constantly being bullied and abused by fellow students and my so called friends. Going to a new school was something I wanted- no, needed.<br /> I stood there. Eyes wide and mouth hanging open.This school must have been at least four times the size of my old school. I gulped and began confidently walking towards the entrance. I reached the front desk in a matter of minutes because, yes, I had gotten lost on my way there.<br /> I cleared my throat, "Excuse me, my name is Ch-"<br /> "Christina Fellows! The new student! Oh it's very nice to meet you!" The front desk lady said happily.<br /> "Yes.. That's me." I smiled nervously, " Could I by chance have my schedule?"<br /> "Of course darling!" She practically sang.<br /> 10 minutes later<br /> I stood in the middle of the hallway, papers, packets, instructions, maps, filling my hands . Locker, I thought to myself, I will find my locker then try to make it to at least part of my first class.<br /> Eventually I found my locker, and with the help of multiple maps, I stood breathlessly in front of the door to my English room. Be cool Christina, I thought to myself, first impressions count. Before I could knock on the door, it was flung open and a furious teenage boy stood in front of me.<br /> "Out of my way, bimbo." He snarled. Before I could even respond or react, I was slammed in the lockers across the hall. Withough even a glance back, the guy stalked off and turned the corner and was gone.<br /> "Are you okay?" the teacher questioned, worry written all over her face.<br /> "I'm fine," I managed to say weakly.<br /> After introducing myself, I sat in an empty desk in the back of through. Even though English is my favorite subject, I couldn't focus. All I could think about was that guy. His dirty blond hair and gorgeous blue eyes had me entranced, it was like I was sucked into a dark hole and all I could do is think about him.<br /> As I left English, I realized I had no idea how to get back to my locker. At that same moment a smiling blonde haired girl came bounding over to me.<br /> "Hiya!! You must be the new girl Christina! My name is Mandy." She said<br /> I laughed, "Yeah I'm the new girl. It's nice to meet you Mandy, do you mind helping me find my way back to my locker?"<br /> In about two minutes flat, I was right in front of my locker with a smiling Mandy by my side.<br /> I stayed my Mandy the whole day, having all the same morning classes as her. We were still talking when we entered the lunchroom, which was surprisingly quiet. I glanced at Mandy to see her looking fearfully at something behind me. Slowly I turned around, only to be face to face with the jerk from earlier.<br /> "You're Christina Fellows?" He sneered<br /> "Yeah, that's my name, what's it to ya?" I snapped, glaring at him, secretly I was shocked that I had the courage to even say something. By now no one was moving and the silence was unbearable.<br /> "Shut up bimbo, you need to learn your place here." He growled, taking at step forward.<br /> I stood my ground, "Go to inferno, jerk."<br /> Suddenly I was being dragged out of the lunchroom. The second the doors closed, the normal lunchroom chatter resumed. I struggled, but it didn't last long as I was soon pushed to the ground. The guy stood above me, glaring.<br /> "That's your place. Do you understand? Now why don't you do this school a favor and leave."<br /> I quickly stood up, face to face with him. I took a step closer.<br /> "I'm not going anywhere." I said venomously, before shouldering past him, back towards the lunchroom. As I left I heard him call out, "You don't know what I'm capably of bimbo!" Without turning around I gave him the finger and entered the lunchroom, not before hearing a him...<br /> Growl?<br /> What?<br /> No that must have been my imagination.<br /> <br /> After lunch, Mandy was pretty much ignoring me. Even though I had only known her for a few hours, it hurt that she never really wanted to be my friend. With only three classes left, I slowly made my way back to my locker to leave my backpack and books and go to gym class.<br /> 15 minutes later<br /> "AHHHH!" I screamed angrily. I was now ten minutes late for gym class and my hopes for eventually finding the gym were quickly diminishing. I was ready to head back to my locker when I heard laughter coming from the courtyard.<br /> I quietly entered the courtyard, scanning my surroundings, hoping to find someone to help me. As I was about to give up, I heard the laughter again. I walked around the corner and froze.<br /> The devil himself aka Cole Mathews, the jerk with anger issues.<br /> Cole and three other guys stood leaning against the wall of the building, smoking and joking around. I was going to just go back into school without being noticed, but because of my stealthy ninja skills, I ended up falling after tripping over a rock- no, a clump of grass. Leave it to Christina Fellows to trip over a clump of freaking grass.<br /> "You nosy little bimbo."<br /> My face heated up as I stood. "Oh shut up Cole, I was just looking for someone to help me."<br /> "Well baby, how can I be of service? I can help with anything. Anything." One of Cole's friends suggested with a wink.<br /> "Gross Ian. How desperate are you for a STD." Cole sneered.<br /> Now I was officially pissed off. "Cole I don't have a STD! You are such a jerk." Cole narrowed his eyes and growled at me. Growled. Yep, looks like someone has a bad case of anger management.<br /> "Bimbo, back off."<br /> "You started this!" I snapped. By now I was shaking a little, but not from anger, from fear. The look Cole gave me was deadly.<br /> "Whatever bimbo. Get away from here." He said threateningly, taking a step forward, towards me.<br /> "I don't have a STD! I've never even-" I paused.<br /> Oh no.<br /> Cole's eyes widened before he and his friends burst out laughing. In my embarrassment. I quickly left the courtyard, the sounds of their laughter taunting me.<br /> 20 minutes later<br /> I give up.<br /> I bet there actually isn't a gym in this stupid school. Come to think of it, I don't think I even have gym anymore. I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to be in Biology right now. I sighed, frustrated.<br /> "Hey do you need any help?"<br /> I looked up to see a tall, gorgeous girl in front of me.<br /> "Oh, um, yeah do you know where the Biology room is?" I asked nervously.<br /> "Are you in Mr. Kelly's class? Just take a left then a right at the end of the hallway." She stated with a smile. Mr. Kelly? I had no idea who my teacher was.<br /> "Thanks so much. I should go now." I mumbled as I walked around her.<br /> "Nice to meet you!" She called out before walking away. Hmm, I didn't even know her name. Whatever.<br /> I followed her instructions. I'm sure I followed them exactly! Take a right then a left. Or was is take a left then another left?<br /> I groaned. This was way too confusing. I decided to head back to my locker, maybe I would be able to go to my last class. Now, how do I get back to my locker?<br /> 10 minutes later<br /> I dragged my feet across the tiled hallway. I swear to the dear lord, if I don't find my locker in a minute, I will go crazy.<br /> One minute I was walking, then I was pressed up against a locker. Without hesitation, I threw a punch to where I assumed my attacker's face was. Instead of making contact with his or her face, a large hand enveloped my fist. Definitely a guy.<br /> "Feisty.. I like it."<br /> "Cole!" I screamed. I started struggling. Within a matter of seconds I my arms pinned to above my head with only one of his arms, holding them still. He was literally pressed up on me. I couldn't move for the life of me.<br /> "So bimbo.." He whispered, smirking.<br /> "C-Cole. Get off of me." I begged, "You're hurting me." I whimpered a little. Cole looked startled and backed up only a bit. I took advantage of his confusion and kneed him in his "special" place.<br /> "Ahhh!" He screamed as his fell to the ground in pain. The next look he gave me made me turn and run. I sprinted down the hallway.<br /> "Get her!" Cole bellowed. Soon I could hear footsteps behind me. Sure enough, I was pinned up against a locker by one of Cole's friends-- Ian I think.<br /> Immediately I started thrashing around to escape his death grip. As I was about to give up, Cole and his two other friends turned the corner, heading towers me and Ian. My struggles increased and I managed to escape.<br /> Three steps.<br /> That's all I took before realizing I there were no exits. I was freaking trapped.<br /> Dark chuckling tore me away from my thoughts, and I slowly turned around. I gulped loudly, fear evident on my face.<br /> Smirking, Cole pushed himself off the wall he was leaning on and took a couple of steps in my direction. After about a minute of just staring straight into my eyes, he finally spoke.<br /> "Well boys, why don't we teach this little bimbo a lesson?"<br /> Oh no.<br /> <br /> I gulped. Cole was smirking at me, with his friends behind him.<br /> He took a step forward, I took one back, he took another and I fell back. Nice, I thought to myself. Way to fall.<br /> "Well it looks like this is gonna be easier than I thought." Said Cole who was now standing over me. "I'll see you guys later." Without hesitation, Ian and the two other guys left.<br /> I started to stand up, only to be pushed back down by Cole.<br /> "Listen bimbo. You are nothing, and I don't need you walking around here like you own this school. This is MY school, these people listen to ME. I don't need some bimbo like you messing everything up." He snarled.<br /> I sat there emotionless. I didn't even react when he grabbed my arm and forced me to stand.<br /> "Cat got you tongue, bimbo?"<br /> I have no idea where all this confidence came from, but the next thing I did was quite outrageous.<br /> I slapped him.<br /> But it didn't stop there. All my anger, my pain, my hurt, it came flooding out. I threw myself at Cole, flailing my arms, hoping to inflict pain upon this jerk. This was my revenge against all those jerks who used and abused me.<br /> I was blinded by my anger one moment, attacking Cole, then I was slammed up against the lockers. Cole used his own body to hold me there, my arms were pinned at my sides and and my legs were trapped by his. Both of Cole's hands were placed at either side of my head, making it impossible to move the slightest bit.<br /> To my surprise, he didn't have a single bruise or even red mark on himself. He looked perfectly fine.<br /> And angry. No- angry would be an understatement.<br /> Cole was furious. He was breathing heavily, and with each breath, he seemed to press in closer to me.<br /> "C-C-Cole, get away." I stuttered, fear lacing each word.<br /> "Christina..." He breathed out, staring straight into my eyes, "I warned you."<br /> There I lay.<br /> Listening to his retreating footsteps, after being flung like a rag doll to the other end of the hallway. I couldn't move. There was so much pain, my head felt like a bomb went off in it, and my whole body ached.<br /> Right before I passed out, I realized, maybe this new school wouldn't be so different.<br /> <br /> The faint noise of a machine is what I heard as I woke up. The pounding in my head wasn't as bad, and despite the searing pain coursing my body, there hadn't seemed to be any permanent damage. I looked around the hospital room, I couldn't see much since the lights were off and it was dark outside.<br /> Wait. Hospital room? Dark outside?<br /> How long have I been out and how did I get here? At that moment the door opened and a nurse walked in.<br /> "Hun you're awake!! This is good!! How are you feeling?" She asked.<br /> "Better, thanks." I answered with a small smile, "How did I get here?"<br /> "Well Hun, you are one lucky duck. With the concussion you have, you would have had some serious damage if this young handsome man hadn't brought you in. Unfortunately, he had to leave but he told me to give this." She replied, holding out a folded note.<br /> I sat up and reached for it, ignoring the worsening pain that followed as a result. Before I could open it, the nurse excused herself and left, reassuring me that she would be back soon.<br /> After taking a couple of deep breaths, I opened the note.<br /> Tell anyone what happened and you won't be so lucky next time<br /> I stopped breathing.<br /> I'm screwed.<br /> <br /> After spending the rest of the week there, I was finally released. It took forever to convince my mom that I was okay to leave, but in the end she caved.<br /> I was lying on my bed, still sore with most of my back covered in bruises.<br /> My door opened a little, "Christina, do you need anything?" My mom asked<br /> "I'm fine, thanks." I sighed. More pain pills would be nice, but if I had said that my mom would have freaked an taken me back to the hospital. I watched her as she opened the door all the way and came to sit on the edge of my bed.<br /> "Christina, I know you are shaken, and in a lot of pain, but sooner or later you're going to tell me what happened." She said firmly<br /> "Okay, later than." I muttered. She groaned, annoyed at how closed up I was being, and left my room. If only she knew that I was being threatened.<br /> Ever since my dad's death, I have been really close to my mom, and have told her everything. I didn't tell her right away about the abuse at school, but that was when I thought I could handle it. After a while, when I broke, I told her and she pulled me from school and had us move. That is how strong our relationship is.<br /> Monday<br /> I had to walk to school.<br /> My mom offered to drive me, but you all know my fear with cars... Anyways after she left I went to get my bike, when I realized how badly that would end up. I was covered in bruises, most on my back and yes, I had to wear a neck brace because of my concussion. Another reason I couldn't ride my bike.<br /> I sighed and left the house. Maybe if I limp quickly enough, I will be able to make it to school on time. Yeah right.<br /> 30 minutes later<br /> I was huffing and puffing on the steps on school. I probably missed at least half of first period, but I really didn't care anymore. I hobbled into the school and got a late slip- the once cheerful front desk lady now glared at me with annoyance and anger. I threw a nasty look right back at her- HA! From the shocked look on her face, I could tell she didn't expect that.<br /> I was walking- or whatever you would like to call it, to my locker when I felt a presence behind me. Because of my neck brace I couldn't just look back, so I continued walking. The feeling followed me, but I still ignored it. I was putting away my books when I heard someone talk.<br /> "What happened to you, bimbo?"<br /> I saw red. Letting out a snarl, I turned and lunged, only to be caught in the air. I began fighting- scratching, kicking, and waving my arms around in attempt to injure my attacker. I only stopped when I was placed on the ground and pinned against the locker.<br /> "Christina calm down." The voice ordered.<br /> Only then did I look up and see that it wasn't Cole, it was Ian. I don't know Ian, but I don't trust him. I mean, he is a friend of Cole's... why should I?<br /> "You jerk! Get away from me!" I spat at him, struggling again.<br /> "Christina. Why are you mad?" Ian asked<br /> "Are you serious?! You friend nearly kills me and I was stuck in a hospital for six days! SIX DAYS! And you just stand there are ask me what's wrong?!" I scream, thrashing in Ian's arms. I ended up hitting my head on the locker behind me, and then I got all lightheaded.<br /> "You did this to yourself." Ian stated calmly.<br /> Speechless. Despite the fatal pounding in my head and aching all over my body, I managed to stay still and not say a single word.<br /> "He warned you and you freaked on him." Ian said looking into my eyes.<br /> "You did this to yourself." He repeated again<br /> I felt shattered. Was this seriously my fault?<br /> "Cat got your tongue, bimbo?"<br /> Cole.<br /> Standing there at the end of the hallway.<br /> I lost it.<br /> I pushed Ian away with all the force I could muster, and I did the only thing left for me to do.<br /> I ran.<br /> I ran out the school, past the gate. I ran still I felt numb. I ended up collapsing near the woods. I was breathing heavily, but still I refused to cry. I wouldn't let down my walls just because I was by myself. I had to stay strong.<br /> 2 hours later<br /> Yup. I was still lying near the woods. I felt dead and probably looked it too. I finally sat up, and took off my sweatshirt leaving me in my sweatpants and sports bra. I began walking through the woods, the pain with each step I took was pushed aside. I was too busy thinking to worry or care. I reached a clearing, where I decided to sit against a rock and rest.<br /> Was I really the one to blame for my incident?<br /> Was it my fault?<br /> I coundn't think about it. It made me sick, the idea of blaming myself never crossed my mind. Maybe Ian was ri-<br /> No.<br /> All this I have endured was not self inflicted.<br /> Tomorrow Cole better watch out. I don't care if he owns this school, I will show him his place. I stood up, confidence and courage rushing through myself, only to be replaced by pain. Abusive much? I thought as I remember what Cole had done to me.<br /> I reached down to grab my sweatshirt- only now realizing my neck brace wasn't on. I'm so oblivious.<br /> Then I froze at the sound of a twig snapping.<br /> "Bimbo, why so many scars?? Are you cutter?"<br /> *<br /> I wouldn't turn around. I couldn't. I just straightened up my back, shaking.<br /> "So you are a cutter?"<br /> No answer<br /> "Bimbo, you might want to answer me."<br /> No answer<br /> "I'm warning you."<br /> I whirled around, my body protesting my sudden movement. I nearly jumped back from shock, seeing as Cole was only four feet away from me, much closer than I thought.<br /> "Why? Why should I have to answer you? So I can give another reason to insult me? I don't think so." I breathed out heavily, avoiding his eyes.<br /> "So you are a cutter." Cole stated, amused.<br /> I didn't respond, just stared at the ground.<br /> "Look at me."<br /> I stayed still, willing myself to not look up of even make the slightest movement. I cringed though, when he took a step closer.<br /> "Bimbo, you deaf?"<br /> No response, another step closer. I realized that if I didn't respond he would be right up in my face.<br /> "Christina?" He asked so softly<br /> I was going to crack, I could feel it. I squeezed my eyes shut, praying that he would just walk away. To my surprise, I managed to stay still, even when his hand stroked my cheek. My steady breathing became shaky breaths, my walls were cracking.<br /> But no. I wasn't going to let Cole Mathews get the best of me. No way.<br /> "Christina, I'm sorry."<br /> My eyes flew open and I stumbled backwards, I started to fall, but before I could hit the ground, two strong arms wrapped around my waist.<br /> I was speechless, second time today.<br /> "I shouldn't have hurt you." Cole murmured, no longer looking into my yes, but staring at my body. I felt self conscious, yet safe in his arms. I wanted him to never let go. But then I remembered. This is Cole Mathews, the same guy who's eyes turned BLACK before flinging you all the way down a hallway.<br /> Then it came to me.<br /> Cole is some supernatural demon.<br /> Yeah, it had to be that, a demon with anger management and bi-polar issues. I began pushing myself away from him, panic setting in. Fortunately, I caught him off gaurd, and was able to pull away and back up enough to put a good ten feet between us.

Cole asked surprised.<br /> "So you knew we were mates this whole time?" I asked slowly.<br /> "Yeah."<br /> I slapped him.<br /> "I hate you." I spat out, my eyes filling with tears.<br /> "No-"<br /> "Yes I do! You used me when we are supposed soul mates?" I screamed, tears pouring down my face.<br /> "You are dead to me! You don't want me and I'm sure I don't want you." I cried out.<br /> "Cole I don't want you as a mate." I whispered.<br /> ****** <br /> "Christina! WAKE UP!" Mom screamed from downstairs.<br /> Today was my first day at Lincoln High School. Surprisingly, I was excited. No, excited would be an understatement, I was ecstatic. At my old school, I was constantly being bullied and abused by fellow students and my so called friends. Going to a new school was something I wanted- no, needed.<br /> I stood there. Eyes wide and mouth hanging open.This school must have been at least four times the size of my old school. I gulped and began confidently walking towards the entrance. I reached the front desk in a matter of minutes because, yes, I had gotten lost on my way there.<br /> I cleared my throat, "Excuse me, my name is Ch-"<br /> "Christina Fellows! The new student! Oh it's very nice to meet you!" The front desk lady said happily.<br /> "Yes.. That's me." I smiled nervously, " Could I by chance have my schedule?"<br /> "Of course darling!" She practically sang.<br /> 10 minutes later<br /> I stood in the middle of the hallway, papers, packets, instructions, maps, filling my hands . Locker, I thought to myself, I will find my locker then try to make it to at least part of my first class.<br /> Eventually I found my locker, and with the help of multiple maps, I stood breathlessly in front of the door to my English room. Be cool Christina, I thought to myself, first impressions count. Before I could knock on the door, it was flung open and a furious teenage boy stood in front of me.<br /> "Out of my way, bimbo." He snarled. Before I could even respond or react, I was slammed in the lockers across the hall. Withough even a glance back, the guy stalked off and turned the corner and was gone.<br /> "Are you okay?" the teacher questioned, worry written all over her face.<br /> "I'm fine," I managed to say weakly.<br /> After introducing myself, I sat in an empty desk in the back of through. Even though English is my favorite subject, I couldn't focus. All I could think about was that guy. His dirty blond hair and gorgeous blue eyes had me entranced, it was like I was sucked into a dark hole and all I could do is think about him.<br /> As I left English, I realized I had no idea how to get back to my locker. At that same moment a smiling blonde haired girl came bounding over to me.<br /> "Hiya!! You must be the new girl Christina! My name is Mandy." She said<br /> I laughed, "Yeah I'm the new girl. It's nice to meet you Mandy, do you mind helping me find my way back to my locker?"<br /> In about two minutes flat, I was right in front of my locker with a smiling Mandy by my side.<br /> I stayed my Mandy the whole day, having all the same morning classes as her. We were still talking when we entered the lunchroom, which was surprisingly quiet. I glanced at Mandy to see her looking fearfully at something behind me. Slowly I turned around, only to be face to face with the jerk from earlier.<br /> "You're Christina Fellows?" He sneered<br /> "Yeah, that's my name, what's it to ya?" I snapped, glaring at him, secretly I was shocked that I had the courage to even say something. By now no one was moving and the silence was unbearable.<br /> "Shut up bimbo, you need to learn your place here." He growled, taking at step forward.<br /> I stood my ground, "Go to inferno, jerk."<br /> Suddenly I was being dragged out of the lunchroom. The second the doors closed, the normal lunchroom chatter resumed. I struggled, but it didn't last long as I was soon pushed to the ground. The guy stood above me, glaring.<br /> "That's your place. Do you understand? Now why don't you do this school a favor and leave."<br /> I quickly stood up, face to face with him. I took a step closer.<br /> "I'm not going anywhere." I said venomously, before shouldering past him, back towards the lunchroom. As I left I heard him call out, "You don't know what I'm capably of bimbo!" Without turning around I gave him the finger and entered the lunchroom, not before hearing a him...<br /> Growl?<br /> What?<br /> No that must have been my imagination.<br /> <br /> After lunch, Mandy was pretty much ignoring me. Even though I had only known her for a few hours, it hurt that she never really wanted to be my friend. With only three classes left, I slowly made my way back to my locker to leave my backpack and books and go to gym class.<br /> 15 minutes later<br /> "AHHHH!" I screamed angrily. I was now ten minutes late for gym class and my hopes for eventually finding the gym were quickly diminishing. I was ready to head back to my locker when I heard laughter coming from the courtyard.<br /> I quietly entered the courtyard, scanning my surroundings, hoping to find someone to help me. As I was about to give up, I heard the laughter again. I walked around the corner and froze.<br /> The devil himself aka Cole Mathews, the jerk with anger issues.<br /> Cole and three other guys stood leaning against the wall of the building, smoking and joking around. I was going to just go back into school without being noticed, but because of my stealthy ninja skills, I ended up falling after tripping over a rock- no, a clump of grass. Leave it to Christina Fellows to trip over a clump of freaking grass.<br /> "You nosy little bimbo."<br /> My face heated up as I stood. "Oh shut up Cole, I was just looking for someone to help me."<br /> "Well baby, how can I be of service? I can help with anything. Anything." One of Cole's friends suggested with a wink.<br /> "Gross Ian. How desperate are you for a STD." Cole sneered.<br /> Now I was officially pissed off. "Cole I don't have a STD! You are such a jerk." Cole narrowed his eyes and growled at me. Growled. Yep, looks like someone has a bad case of anger management.<br /> "Bimbo, back off."<br /> "You started this!" I snapped. By now I was shaking a little, but not from anger, from fear. The look Cole gave me was deadly.<br /> "Whatever bimbo. Get away from here." He said threateningly, taking a step forward, towards me.<br /> "I don't have a STD! I've never even-" I paused.<br /> Oh no.<br /> Cole's eyes widened before he and his friends burst out laughing. In my embarrassment. I quickly left the courtyard, the sounds of their laughter taunting me.<br /> 20 minutes later<br /> I give up.<br /> I bet there actually isn't a gym in this stupid school. Come to think of it, I don't think I even have gym anymore. I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to be in Biology right now. I sighed, frustrated.<br /> "Hey do you need any help?"<br /> I looked up to see a tall, gorgeous girl in front of me.<br /> "Oh, um, yeah do you know where the Biology room is?" I asked nervously.<br /> "Are you in Mr. Kelly's class? Just take a left then a right at the end of the hallway." She stated with a smile. Mr. Kelly? I had no idea who my teacher was.<br /> "Thanks so much. I should go now." I mumbled as I walked around her.<br /> "Nice to meet you!" She called out before walking away. Hmm, I didn't even know her name. Whatever.<br /> I followed her instructions. I'm sure I followed them exactly! Take a right then a left. Or was is take a left then another left?<br /> I groaned. This was way too confusing. I decided to head back to my locker, maybe I would be able to go to my last class. Now, how do I get back to my locker?<br /> 10 minutes later<br /> I dragged my feet across the tiled hallway. I swear to the dear lord, if I don't find my locker in a minute, I will go crazy.<br /> One minute I was walking, then I was pressed up against a locker. Without hesitation, I threw a punch to where I assumed my attacker's face was. Instead of making contact with his or her face, a large hand enveloped my fist. Definitely a guy.<br /> "Feisty.. I like it."<br /> "Cole!" I screamed. I started struggling. Within a matter of seconds I my arms pinned to above my head with only one of his arms, holding them still. He was literally pressed up on me. I couldn't move for the life of me.<br /> "So bimbo.." He whispered, smirking.<br /> "C-Cole. Get off of me." I begged, "You're hurting me." I whimpered a little. Cole looked startled and backed up only a bit. I took advantage of his confusion and kneed him in his "special" place.<br /> "Ahhh!" He screamed as his fell to the ground in pain. The next look he gave me made me turn and run. I sprinted down the hallway.<br /> "Get her!" Cole bellowed. Soon I could hear footsteps behind me. Sure enough, I was pinned up against a locker by one of Cole's friends-- Ian I think.<br /> Immediately I started thrashing around to escape his death grip. As I was about to give up, Cole and his two other friends turned the corner, heading towers me and Ian. My struggles increased and I managed to escape.<br /> Three steps.<br /> That's all I took before realizing I there were no exits. I was freaking trapped.<br /> Dark chuckling tore me away from my thoughts, and I slowly turned around. I gulped loudly, fear evident on my face.<br /> Smirking, Cole pushed himself off the wall he was leaning on and took a couple of steps in my direction. After about a minute of just staring straight into my eyes, he finally spoke.<br /> "Well boys, why don't we teach this little bimbo a lesson?"<br /> Oh no.<br /> <br /> I gulped. Cole was smirking at me, with his friends behind him.<br /> He took a step forward, I took one back, he took another and I fell back. Nice, I thought to myself. Way to fall.<br /> "Well it looks like this is gonna be easier than I thought." Said Cole who was now standing over me. "I'll see you guys later." Without hesitation, Ian and the two other guys left.<br /> I started to stand up, only to be pushed back down by Cole.<br /> "Listen bimbo. You are nothing, and I don't need you walking around here like you own this school. This is MY school, these people listen to ME. I don't need some bimbo like you messing everything up." He snarled.<br /> I sat there emotionless. I didn't even react when he grabbed my arm and forced me to stand.<br /> "Cat got you tongue, bimbo?"<br /> I have no idea where all this confidence came from, but the next thing I did was quite outrageous.<br /> I slapped him.<br /> But it didn't stop there. All my anger, my pain, my hurt, it came flooding out. I threw myself at Cole, flailing my arms, hoping to inflict pain upon this jerk. This was my revenge against all those jerks who used and abused me.<br /> I was blinded by my anger one moment, attacking Cole, then I was slammed up against the lockers. Cole used his own body to hold me there, my arms were pinned at my sides and and my legs were trapped by his. Both of Cole's hands were placed at either side of my head, making it impossible to move the slightest bit.<br /> To my surprise, he didn't have a single bruise or even red mark on himself. He looked perfectly fine.<br /> And angry. No- angry would be an understatement.<br /> Cole was furious. He was breathing heavily, and with each breath, he seemed to press in closer to me.<br /> "C-C-Cole, get away." I stuttered, fear lacing each word.<br /> "Christina..." He breathed out, staring straight into my eyes, "I warned you."<br /> There I lay.<br /> Listening to his retreating footsteps, after being flung like a rag doll to the other end of the hallway. I couldn't move. There was so much pain, my head felt like a bomb went off in it, and my whole body ached.<br /> Right before I passed out, I realized, maybe this new school wouldn't be so different.<br /> <br /> The faint noise of a machine is what I heard as I woke up. The pounding in my head wasn't as bad, and despite the searing pain coursing my body, there hadn't seemed to be any permanent damage. I looked around the hospital room, I couldn't see much since the lights were off and it was dark outside.<br /> Wait. Hospital room? Dark outside?<br /> How long have I been out and how did I get here? At that moment the door opened and a nurse walked in.<br /> "Hun you're awake!! This is good!! How are you feeling?" She asked.<br /> "Better, thanks." I answered with a small smile, "How did I get here?"<br /> "Well Hun, you are one lucky duck. With the concussion you have, you would have had some serious damage if this young handsome man hadn't brought you in. Unfortunately, he had to leave but he told me to give this." She replied, holding out a folded note.<br /> I sat up and reached for it, ignoring the worsening pain that followed as a result. Before I could open it, the nurse excused herself and left, reassuring me that she would be back soon.<br /> After taking a couple of deep breaths, I opened the note.<br /> Tell anyone what happened and you won't be so lucky next time<br /> I stopped breathing.<br /> I'm screwed.<br /> <br /> After spending the rest of the week there, I was finally released. It took forever to convince my mom that I was okay to leave, but in the end she caved.<br /> I was lying on my bed, still sore with most of my back covered in bruises.<br /> My door opened a little, "Christina, do you need anything?" My mom asked<br /> "I'm fine, thanks." I sighed. More pain pills would be nice, but if I had said that my mom would have freaked an taken me back to the hospital. I watched her as she opened the door all the way and came to sit on the edge of my bed.<br /> "Christina, I know you are shaken, and in a lot of pain, but sooner or later you're going to tell me what happened." She said firmly<br /> "Okay, later than." I muttered. She groaned, annoyed at how closed up I was being, and left my room. If only she knew that I was being threatened.<br /> Ever since my dad's death, I have been really close to my mom, and have told her everything. I didn't tell her right away about the abuse at school, but that was when I thought I could handle it. After a while, when I broke, I told her and she pulled me from school and had us move. That is how strong our relationship is.<br /> Monday<br /> I had to walk to school.<br /> My mom offered to drive me, but you all know my fear with cars... Anyways after she left I went to get my bike, when I realized how badly that would end up. I was covered in bruises, most on my back and yes, I had to wear a neck brace because of my concussion. Another reason I couldn't ride my bike.<br /> I sighed and left the house. Maybe if I limp quickly enough, I will be able to make it to school on time. Yeah right.<br /> 30 minutes later<br /> I was huffing and puffing on the steps on school. I probably missed at least half of first period, but I really didn't care anymore. I hobbled into the school and got a late slip- the once cheerful front desk lady now glared at me with annoyance and anger. I threw a nasty look right back at her- HA! From the shocked look on her face, I could tell she didn't expect that.<br /> I was walking- or whatever you would like to call it, to my locker when I felt a presence behind me. Because of my neck brace I couldn't just look back, so I continued walking. The feeling followed me, but I still ignored it. I was putting away my books when I heard someone talk.<br /> "What happened to you, bimbo?"<br /> I saw red. Letting out a snarl, I turned and lunged, only to be caught in the air. I began fighting- scratching, kicking, and waving my arms around in attempt to injure my attacker. I only stopped when I was placed on the ground and pinned against the locker.<br /> "Christina calm down." The voice ordered.<br /> Only then did I look up and see that it wasn't Cole, it was Ian. I don't know Ian, but I don't trust him. I mean, he is a friend of Cole's... why should I?<br /> "You jerk! Get away from me!" I spat at him, struggling again.<br /> "Christina. Why are you mad?" Ian asked<br /> "Are you serious?! You friend nearly kills me and I was stuck in a hospital for six days! SIX DAYS! And you just stand there are ask me what's wrong?!" I scream, thrashing in Ian's arms. I ended up hitting my head on the locker behind me, and then I got all lightheaded.<br /> "You did this to yourself." Ian stated calmly.<br /> Speechless. Despite the fatal pounding in my head and aching all over my body, I managed to stay still and not say a single word.<br /> "He warned you and you freaked on him." Ian said looking into my eyes.<br /> "You did this to yourself." He repeated again<br /> I felt shattered. Was this seriously my fault?<br /> "Cat got your tongue, bimbo?"<br /> Cole.<br /> Standing there at the end of the hallway.<br /> I lost it.<br /> I pushed Ian away with all the force I could muster, and I did the only thing left for me to do.<br /> I ran.<br /> I ran out the school, past the gate. I ran still I felt numb. I ended up collapsing near the woods. I was breathing heavily, but still I refused to cry. I wouldn't let down my walls just because I was by myself. I had to stay strong.<br /> 2 hours later<br /> Yup. I was still lying near the woods. I felt dead and probably looked it too. I finally sat up, and took off my sweatshirt leaving me in my sweatpants and sports bra. I began walking through the woods, the pain with each step I took was pushed aside. I was too busy thinking to worry or care. I reached a clearing, where I decided to sit against a rock and rest.<br /> Was I really the one to blame for my incident?<br /> Was it my fault?<br /> I coundn't think about it. It made me sick, the idea of blaming myself never crossed my mind. Maybe Ian was ri-<br /> No.<br /> All this I have endured was not self inflicted.<br /> Tomorrow Cole better watch out. I don't care if he owns this school, I will show him his place. I stood up, confidence and courage rushing through myself, only to be replaced by pain. Abusive much? I thought as I remember what Cole had done to me.<br /> I reached down to grab my sweatshirt- only now realizing my neck brace wasn't on. I'm so oblivious.<br /> Then I froze at the sound of a twig snapping.<br /> "Bimbo, why so many scars?? Are you cutter?"<br /> *<br /> I wouldn't turn around. I couldn't. I just straightened up my back, shaking.<br /> "So you are a cutter?"<br /> No answer<br /> "Bimbo, you might want to answer me."<br /> No answer<br /> "I'm warning you."<br /> I whirled around, my body protesting my sudden movement. I nearly jumped back from shock, seeing as Cole was only four feet away from me, much closer than I thought.<br /> "Why? Why should I have to answer you? So I can give another reason to insult me? I don't think so." I breathed out heavily, avoiding his eyes.<br /> "So you are a cutter." Cole stated, amused.<br /> I didn't respond, just stared at the ground.<br /> "Look at me."<br /> I stayed still, willing myself to not look up of even make the slightest movement. I cringed though, when he took a step closer.<br /> "Bimbo, you deaf?"<br /> No response, another step closer. I realized that if I didn't respond he would be right up in my face.<br /> "Christina?" He asked so softly<br /> I was going to crack, I could feel it. I squeezed my eyes shut, praying that he would just walk away. To my surprise, I managed to stay still, even when his hand stroked my cheek. My steady breathing became shaky breaths, my walls were cracking.<br /> But no. I wasn't going to let Cole Mathews get the best of me. No way.<br /> "Christina, I'm sorry."<br /> My eyes flew open and I stumbled backwards, I started to fall, but before I could hit the ground, two strong arms wrapped around my waist.<br /> I was speechless, second time today.<br /> "I shouldn't have hurt you." Cole murmured, no longer looking into my yes, but staring at my body. I felt self conscious, yet safe in his arms. I wanted him to never let go. But then I remembered. This is Cole Mathews, the same guy who's eyes turned BLACK before flinging you all the way down a hallway.<br /> Then it came to me.<br /> Cole is some supernatural demon.<br /> Yeah, it had to be that, a demon with anger management and bi-polar issues. I began pushing myself away from him, panic setting in. Fortunately, I caught him off gaurd, and was able to pull away and back up enough to put a good ten feet between us.

Without turning around I gave him the finger and entered the lunchroom, not before hearing a him...<br /> Growl?<br /> What?<br /> No that must have been my imagination.<br /> <br /> After lunch, Mandy was pretty much ignoring me. Even though I had only known her for a few hours, it hurt that she never really wanted to be my friend. With only three classes left, I slowly made my way back to my locker to leave my backpack and books and go to gym class.<br /> 15 minutes later<br /> "AHHHH!" I screamed angrily. I was now ten minutes late for gym class and my hopes for eventually finding the gym were quickly diminishing. I was ready to head back to my locker when I heard laughter coming from the courtyard.<br /> I quietly entered the courtyard, scanning my surroundings, hoping to find someone to help me. As I was about to give up, I heard the laughter again. I walked around the corner and froze.<br /> The devil himself aka Cole Mathews, the jerk with anger issues.<br /> Cole and three other guys stood leaning against the wall of the building, smoking and joking around. I was going to just go back into school without being noticed, but because of my stealthy ninja skills, I ended up falling after tripping over a rock- no, a clump of grass. Leave it to Christina Fellows to trip over a clump of freaking grass.<br /> "You nosy little bimbo."<br /> My face heated up as I stood. "Oh shut up Cole, I was just looking for someone to help me."<br /> "Well baby, how can I be of service? I can help with anything. Anything." One of Cole's friends suggested with a wink.<br /> "Gross Ian. How desperate are you for a STD." Cole sneered.<br /> Now I was officially pissed off. "Cole I don't have a STD! You are such a jerk." Cole narrowed his eyes and growled at me. Growled. Yep, looks like someone has a bad case of anger management.<br /> "Bimbo, back off."<br /> "You started this!" I snapped. By now I was shaking a little, but not from anger, from fear. The look Cole gave me was deadly.<br /> "Whatever bimbo. Get away from here." He said threateningly, taking a step forward, towards me.<br /> "I don't have a STD! I've never even-" I paused.<br /> Oh no.<br /> Cole's eyes widened before he and his friends burst out laughing. In my embarrassment. I quickly left the courtyard, the sounds of their laughter taunting me.<br /> 20 minutes later<br /> I give up.<br /> I bet there actually isn't a gym in this stupid school. Come to think of it, I don't think I even have gym anymore. I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to be in Biology right now. I sighed, frustrated.<br /> "Hey do you need any help?"<br /> I looked up to see a tall, gorgeous girl in front of me.<br /> "Oh, um, yeah do you know where the Biology room is?" I asked nervously.<br /> "Are you in Mr. Kelly's class? Just take a left then a right at the end of the hallway." She stated with a smile. Mr. Kelly? I had no idea who my teacher was.<br /> "Thanks so much. I should go now." I mumbled as I walked around her.<br /> "Nice to meet you!" She called out before walking away. Hmm, I didn't even know her name. Whatever.<br /> I followed her instructions. I'm sure I followed them exactly! Take a right then a left. Or was is take a left then another left?<br /> I groaned. This was way too confusing. I decided to head back to my locker, maybe I would be able to go to my last class. Now, how do I get back to my locker?<br /> 10 minutes later<br /> I dragged my feet across the tiled hallway. I swear to the dear lord, if I don't find my locker in a minute, I will go crazy.<br /> One minute I was walking, then I was pressed up against a locker. Without hesitation, I threw a punch to where I assumed my attacker's face was. Instead of making contact with his or her face, a large hand enveloped my fist. Definitely a guy.<br /> "Feisty.. I like it."<br /> "Cole!" I screamed. I started struggling. Within a matter of seconds I my arms pinned to above my head with only one of his arms, holding them still. He was literally pressed up on me. I couldn't move for the life of me.<br /> "So bimbo.." He whispered, smirking.<br /> "C-Cole. Get off of me." I begged, "You're hurting me." I whimpered a little. Cole looked startled and backed up only a bit. I took advantage of his confusion and kneed him in his "special" place.<br /> "Ahhh!" He screamed as his fell to the ground in pain. The next look he gave me made me turn and run. I sprinted down the hallway.<br /> "Get her!" Cole bellowed. Soon I could hear footsteps behind me. Sure enough, I was pinned up against a locker by one of Cole's friends-- Ian I think.<br /> Immediately I started thrashing around to escape his death grip. As I was about to give up, Cole and his two other friends turned the corner, heading towers me and Ian. My struggles increased and I managed to escape.<br /> Three steps.<br /> That's all I took before realizing I there were no exits. I was freaking trapped.<br /> Dark chuckling tore me away from my thoughts, and I slowly turned around. I gulped loudly, fear evident on my face.<br /> Smirking, Cole pushed himself off the wall he was leaning on and took a couple of steps in my direction. After about a minute of just staring straight into my eyes, he finally spoke.<br /> "Well boys, why don't we teach this little bimbo a lesson?"<br /> Oh no.<br /> <br /> I gulped. Cole was smirking at me, with his friends behind him.<br /> He took a step forward, I took one back, he took another and I fell back. Nice, I thought to myself. Way to fall.<br /> "Well it looks like this is gonna be easier than I thought." Said Cole who was now standing over me. "I'll see you guys later." Without hesitation, Ian and the two other guys left.<br /> I started to stand up, only to be pushed back down by Cole.<br /> "Listen bimbo. You are nothing, and I don't need you walking around here like you own this school. This is MY school, these people listen to ME. I don't need some bimbo like you messing everything up." He snarled.<br /> I sat there emotionless. I didn't even react when he grabbed my arm and forced me to stand.<br /> "Cat got you tongue, bimbo?"<br /> I have no idea where all this confidence came from, but the next thing I did was quite outrageous.<br /> I slapped him.<br /> But it didn't stop there. All my anger, my pain, my hurt, it came flooding out. I threw myself at Cole, flailing my arms, hoping to inflict pain upon this jerk. This was my revenge against all those jerks who used and abused me.<br /> I was blinded by my anger one moment, attacking Cole, then I was slammed up against the lockers. Cole used his own body to hold me there, my arms were pinned at my sides and and my legs were trapped by his. Both of Cole's hands were placed at either side of my head, making it impossible to move the slightest bit.<br /> To my surprise, he didn't have a single bruise or even red mark on himself. He looked perfectly fine.<br /> And angry. No- angry would be an understatement.<br /> Cole was furious. He was breathing heavily, and with each breath, he seemed to press in closer to me.<br /> "C-C-Cole, get away." I stuttered, fear lacing each word.<br /> "Christina..." He breathed out, staring straight into my eyes, "I warned you."<br /> There I lay.<br /> Listening to his retreating footsteps, after being flung like a rag doll to the other end of the hallway. I couldn't move. There was so much pain, my head felt like a bomb went off in it, and my whole body ached.<br /> Right before I passed out, I realized, maybe this new school wouldn't be so different.<br /> <br /> The faint noise of a machine is what I heard as I woke up. The pounding in my head wasn't as bad, and despite the searing pain coursing my body, there hadn't seemed to be any permanent damage. I looked around the hospital room, I couldn't see much since the lights were off and it was dark outside.<br /> Wait. Hospital room? Dark outside?<br /> How long have I been out and how did I get here? At that moment the door opened and a nurse walked in.<br /> "Hun you're awake!! This is good!! How are you feeling?" She asked.<br /> "Better, thanks." I answered with a small smile, "How did I get here?"<br /> "Well Hun, you are one lucky duck. With the concussion you have, you would have had some serious damage if this young handsome man hadn't brought you in. Unfortunately, he had to leave but he told me to give this." She replied, holding out a folded note.<br /> I sat up and reached for it, ignoring the worsening pain that followed as a result. Before I could open it, the nurse excused herself and left, reassuring me that she would be back soon.<br /> After taking a couple of deep breaths, I opened the note.<br /> Tell anyone what happened and you won't be so lucky next time<br /> I stopped breathing.<br /> I'm screwed.<br /> <br /> After spending the rest of the week there, I was finally released. It took forever to convince my mom that I was okay to leave, but in the end she caved.<br /> I was lying on my bed, still sore with most of my back covered in bruises.<br /> My door opened a little, "Christina, do you need anything?" My mom asked<br /> "I'm fine, thanks." I sighed. More pain pills would be nice, but if I had said that my mom would have freaked an taken me back to the hospital. I watched her as she opened the door all the way and came to sit on the edge of my bed.<br /> "Christina, I know you are shaken, and in a lot of pain, but sooner or later you're going to tell me what happened." She said firmly<br /> "Okay, later than." I muttered. She groaned, annoyed at how closed up I was being, and left my room. If only she knew that I was being threatened.<br /> Ever since my dad's death, I have been really close to my mom, and have told her everything. I didn't tell her right away about the abuse at school, but that was when I thought I could handle it. After a while, when I broke, I told her and she pulled me from school and had us move. That is how strong our relationship is.<br /> Monday<br /> I had to walk to school.<br /> My mom offered to drive me, but you all know my fear with cars... Anyways after she left I went to get my bike, when I realized how badly that would end up. I was covered in bruises, most on my back and yes, I had to wear a neck brace because of my concussion. Another reason I couldn't ride my bike.<br /> I sighed and left the house. Maybe if I limp quickly enough, I will be able to make it to school on time. Yeah right.<br /> 30 minutes later<br /> I was huffing and puffing on the steps on school. I probably missed at least half of first period, but I really didn't care anymore. I hobbled into the school and got a late slip- the once cheerful front desk lady now glared at me with annoyance and anger. I threw a nasty look right back at her- HA! From the shocked look on her face, I could tell she didn't expect that.<br /> I was walking- or whatever you would like to call it, to my locker when I felt a presence behind me. Because of my neck brace I couldn't just look back, so I continued walking. The feeling followed me, but I still ignored it. I was putting away my books when I heard someone talk.<br /> "What happened to you, bimbo?"<br /> I saw red. Letting out a snarl, I turned and lunged, only to be caught in the air. I began fighting- scratching, kicking, and waving my arms around in attempt to injure my attacker. I only stopped when I was placed on the ground and pinned against the locker.<br /> "Christina calm down." The voice ordered.<br /> Only then did I look up and see that it wasn't Cole, it was Ian. I don't know Ian, but I don't trust him. I mean, he is a friend of Cole's... why should I?<br /> "You jerk! Get away from me!" I spat at him, struggling again.<br /> "Christina. Why are you mad?" Ian asked<br /> "Are you serious?! You friend nearly kills me and I was stuck in a hospital for six days! SIX DAYS! And you just stand there are ask me what's wrong?!" I scream, thrashing in Ian's arms. I ended up hitting my head on the locker behind me, and then I got all lightheaded.<br /> "You did this to yourself." Ian stated calmly.<br /> Speechless. Despite the fatal pounding in my head and aching all over my body, I managed to stay still and not say a single word.<br /> "He warned you and you freaked on him." Ian said looking into my eyes.<br /> "You did this to yourself." He repeated again<br /> I felt shattered. Was this seriously my fault?<br /> "Cat got your tongue, bimbo?"<br /> Cole.<br /> Standing there at the end of the hallway.<br /> I lost it.<br /> I pushed Ian away with all the force I could muster, and I did the only thing left for me to do.<br /> I ran.<br /> I ran out the school, past the gate. I ran still I felt numb. I ended up collapsing near the woods. I was breathing heavily, but still I refused to cry. I wouldn't let down my walls just because I was by myself. I had to stay strong.<br /> 2 hours later<br /> Yup. I was still lying near the woods. I felt dead and probably looked it too. I finally sat up, and took off my sweatshirt leaving me in my sweatpants and sports bra. I began walking through the woods, the pain with each step I took was pushed aside. I was too busy thinking to worry or care. I reached a clearing, where I decided to sit against a rock and rest.<br /> Was I really the one to blame for my incident?<br /> Was it my fault?<br /> I coundn't think about it. It made me sick, the idea of blaming myself never crossed my mind. Maybe Ian was ri-<br /> No.<br /> All this I have endured was not self inflicted.<br /> Tomorrow Cole better watch out. I don't care if he owns this school, I will show him his place. I stood up, confidence and courage rushing through myself, only to be replaced by pain. Abusive much? I thought as I remember what Cole had done to me.<br /> I reached down to grab my sweatshirt- only now realizing my neck brace wasn't on. I'm so oblivious.<br /> Then I froze at the sound of a twig snapping.<br /> "Bimbo, why so many scars?? Are you cutter?"<br /> *<br /> I wouldn't turn around. I couldn't. I just straightened up my back, shaking.<br /> "So you are a cutter?"<br /> No answer<br /> "Bimbo, you might want to answer me."<br /> No answer<br /> "I'm warning you."<br /> I whirled around, my body protesting my sudden movement. I nearly jumped back from shock, seeing as Cole was only four feet away from me, much closer than I thought.<br /> "Why? Why should I have to answer you? So I can give another reason to insult me? I don't think so." I breathed out heavily, avoiding his eyes.<br /> "So you are a cutter." Cole stated, amused.<br /> I didn't respond, just stared at the ground.<br /> "Look at me."<br /> I stayed still, willing myself to not look up of even make the slightest movement. I cringed though, when he took a step closer.<br /> "Bimbo, you deaf?"<br /> No response, another step closer. I realized that if I didn't respond he would be right up in my face.<br /> "Christina?" He asked so softly<br /> I was going to crack, I could feel it. I squeezed my eyes shut, praying that he would just walk away. To my surprise, I managed to stay still, even when his hand stroked my cheek. My steady breathing became shaky breaths, my walls were cracking.<br /> But no. I wasn't going to let Cole Mathews get the best of me. No way.<br /> "Christina, I'm sorry."<br /> My eyes flew open and I stumbled backwards, I started to fall, but before I could hit the ground, two strong arms wrapped around my waist.<br /> I was speechless, second time today.<br /> "I shouldn't have hurt you." Cole murmured, no longer looking into my yes, but staring at my body. I felt self conscious, yet safe in his arms. I wanted him to never let go. But then I remembered. This is Cole Mathews, the same guy who's eyes turned BLACK before flinging you all the way down a hallway.<br /> Then it came to me.<br /> Cole is some supernatural demon.<br /> Yeah, it had to be that, a demon with anger management and bi-polar issues. I began pushing myself away from him, panic setting in. Fortunately, I caught him off gaurd, and was able to pull away and back up enough to put a good ten feet between us.

I could see the pain in her eyes and hear the hurt in her voice. My mom must have meant something to her. I choked, trying to gasp for air, and sharp pains raked my stomach.

I could see the pain in her eyes and hear the hurt in her voice. My mom must have meant something to her. I choked, trying to gasp for air, and sharp pains raked my stomach. Finally, the tears came.<br /> "Shhh, honey," said Katherine, stroking my hair as I bawled. "It's going to be okay. I'm going to take care of you."<br /> And so began my journey away from the beautiful city I loved. Away from the cement jungle that had always kept me captivated. Far away from the flashing neon signs and the sound of traffic that lulled me to sleep. Away from the expensive shopping, colorful Broadway shows and restaurants that offered every cuisine imaginable. And far away from New York which held my childhood memories and my heart.<br /> I was heading towards Colorado and a ranch with twelve beautiful boys.<br /> --<br /> "Jackie!" Katherine called through the open garage door that led to what must have been the backyard. I followed her voice out into the sunlight.<br /> At first, the only thing I saw was her standing on a pool deck, waving at me. But then I saw them in the water. They were splashing and goofing around—a completely shirtless bunch of gorgeous guys.<br /> "Come here, honey!" called Katherine, so I had no other choice but to join her on the deck. I climbed up the wooden steps hoping that my face wasn't red or puffy from crying and dropped my heavy bag to the ground. Much to my discomfort, everyone went silent.<br /> "Boys," began George, breaking the silence, "this is Jackie and—"<br /> "—and she will be staying with us for a while," finished Katherine, while giving her husband a stern look. A loud breath of air escaped my lungs as I sighed. I hadn't realized how much I didn't want the boys to know why I was really here. I wasn't ready to talk to a bunch of strangers about my family. Besides, if the boys knew, they might treat me like something breakable and that was the last thing I wanted.<br /> At the moment, they were all staring at me like I was a foreigner invading their personal country.<br /> I decided it was time to make peace. Slowly, I raised my hand and shyly waved. "Hi guys. I'm Jackie."<br /> One of the older boys swam forward and pulled himself out of the pool, breaking line with the others. I took one look at him and my pulse stopped. He looked like he had just stepped out of a sports magazine. His pale blond hair was messy and matted down from the pool and I couldn't help but notice that his perfectly toned muscles were lightly misted with water. There were water droplets caught in his dark eyelashes that sparkled in the sunlight, framing his bright blue eyes. Overall, he made me want to melt.<br /> "Why?" he questioned, fixing his bright eyes on me. "Why are you staying with us?"<br /> "Cole!" George scolded. "Don't be so rude. Jackie is our guest."<br /> Cole turned to grin at the other boys and then proceeded to look back to his father. He shrugged. "What? We were all thinking it. I was just the first one to say it."<br /> A few of the other guys nodded in agreement. I felt myself freeze up, afraid that if I told them why I was here, I would break down and start crying again. I definitely didn't want that to happen.<br /> Katherine noticed my panicked look and jumped in to save me. "As you all know, I went to visit Jackie's mother, M-Molly." She stumbled over my mother's name. "There are a few family issues going on right now, so I offered to take Jackie with me." Katherine took a deep breath when she finished. I felt relieved that I wasn't the one who had to lie. Maybe once I settled into the Walter household I could tell them the truth, but not until I knew where I stood with the boys.<br /> "Well, I think I'll just grab the rest of my stuff," I said, wanting to get away from the dozen pair of eyes that were staring at me.<br /> "Oh, right, I forgot. One of you boys needs to help Jackie to her room, while I go make dinner. You all behave yourselves." Katherine pointed a finger at her kids.<br /> When I turned to leave as Katherine and George disappeared into the house, someone caught my arm. I looked up to find myself face to face with one of the boys. He was the tallest of them all, and probably the oldest too. His golden blond hair was pulled back into a short ponytail, and the few strands that weren't held back had curled in the heat. His strong jaw line, thick chin and long straight nose made the glasses he was wearing look rather small. His forearms were very toned, and his hands were rough, most likely from working on the ranch.<br /> "You planning on staying long or do you normally pack this much?" he asked with a smile, looking down at my giant hockey bag. Thinking of home caused my lips to tremble and I felt tears form in my eyes. I didn't want to stay very long at all, but where else could I go? His smile faltered, and the look of concern in his eyes made me feel like somehow he understood. It made me trust him. I wasn't quite sure why, but maybe it was because he looked more like a man than the rest of the boys.<br /> "I don't think I'm going home," I admitted in a low whisper. I didn't want the others to hear, but they were all chattering in the background and not paying attention anyways. He nodded his head and dropped the subject. His small act of kindness made me want to start sobbing again. However, I had a gut feeling that the rest of the boys wouldn't be as nice. I knew that if they thought I was weak, they would eat me alive and spit me back up later.<br /> I made a decision, then and there. If I was going to survive in a house full of boys, there was no way I could let them know about my past or the pain I was suffering. I made myself a rule: no talking about New York. By shutting that part of my life into some deep corner of my mind, I was protecting myself. Being numb was better than feeling pain anyway, right?<br /> The eldest boy cleared his throat to get his brothers' attention. When it quieted down, he started to introduce everyone. "Well, I'm Will and you've already met Cole," he said, pointing to his fair-haired younger brother who had nearly exposed my secret earlier. Cole smirked and saluted me.<br /> "Yeah, never mind him. He's a jerk," Will said. "Over here is Danny." Danny was almost as tall as Will, but much skinnier and his chin was covered in stubble.<br /> "That's Isaac, my cousin," continued Will, pointing to a boy who stood out, due to his midnight black hair. He had the same facial features as the other boys, but was clearly from different parents.<br /> "This is Alex." A younger looking version of Cole stepped forward. He was wearing a baseball cap, and it looked like he spent every day in the sun because his skin was tanned perfectly. I gave him a nervous nod, and he waved back.<br /> "Lee is Isaac's little brother." He gestured to another boy with black hair, and his scowl made me look away.<br /> Next, Will introduced me to Nathan. He was a scrawny teen, but I could tell that when he grew, he would be just as attractive as his older brothers. He was dry, and the only boy not dressed in swimwear. His shirt and jeans were covered in paint. I smiled when I saw two brushes sticking out of his pocket. It almost seemed a little cliché to me when I recalled Katherine saying something about him liking art.<br /> Then there was Jack and Jordan—the first set of twins. They were both wearing the same orange striped shirt, which was heavy with water and clinging to their skin. I was grateful that Jack wore glasses so I could tell the two apart.<br /> Next was Peter, who insisted on being called Pete. Pete had bad sunburn and was sporting an adorable bowl-cut.<br /> Before I could be introduced to the last two boys, they ran from the group and jumped on me. For a moment I thought I would be able to keep my balance, but then my knees buckled and I fell back—straight into the pool.<br /> I paddled back up to the surface, sputtering and gasping for air. I could hear most of the guys laughing.<br /> "Hi Jackie!" cried one of the twins as he stood at the edge of the pool. He was a cute little kid who still hadn't lost his baby fat. Freckles covered his face and his blond hair curled all over. "I'm Zack and that's my twin, Benny!" I looked over to see an exact replica of the smiling kid break the surface of the water.<br /> "Gosh! Someone get Jackie a towel!" Will demanded. He stuck out a hand to help me up, and soon I was shivering on the side of the pool. It was too early in spring to be swimming. These boys were crazy! I was handed a red Power Rangers towel and I quickly wrapped it around myself to cover the now see-through white shirt I was wearing.<br /> "I'm really sorry about that," Will said, before shooting the younger twins a glare.<br /> "The only thing I'm sorry about is that he gave her a towel," someone muttered. I whipped around to see who it was, but they were all standing together silently trying to keep the grins off their faces. Taking a deep breath, I turned back to Will.<br /> "It's okay, but I'd like to go inside and get changed."<br /> "I can help with that," another voice joked. This time the boys couldn't contain their laughter.<br /> "Isaac!" Will snapped. He glared over my shoulder at his cousin until the boys quieted down. Then he turned back to me. "Do you have any other bags in the car?" he asked.<br /> "A ton," I said and nodded my head.<br /> "All right, I'll start unloading the car and someone can show you to your room."<br /> As Will retreated off the deck, I felt myself shrink. So far my only friend had just left me with the enemies. Taking a deep breath of air, I gulped and turned back around. The Walter boys looked at me, their faces blank.<br /> After an awkward thirty seconds, Cole shook his head in irritation and pointed at the house. "Are you going to just stare at us, or do you want to go inside?" he asked. Cole might have been hot—his damp hair had dried into a dreamy I-just-had-hot kind of way—but I could tell he was a jerk and his words made my eyes gloss over with tears. I blinked them back and looked away.<br /> "I want to go inside," I muttered quietly. Then, to show him so, I picked up my bag and hung it over my shoulder.<br /> "Don't forget these," one of the boys said, picking up my skates.<br /> "Thanks um..."<br /> "Nathan," he said with a smile.<br /> "Thanks, Nathan."<br /> "So you play hockey, huh?" Cole asked. His arms were crossed over his chest almost like he didn't believe it.<br /> "Yeah, almost every day since I was six," I stated, proud of myself. "I play goalie." Thinking of hockey made me think of my mom, who had always taken me to practice, even though she didn't know anything about sports. Another wave of pain washed over me and I realized that I had already broken my new rule: no talking about home. This was going to be a lot harder than I thought. But I couldn't help it. Cole's skeptical tone gave me a sudden urge to prove myself to him. Consequently, I couldn't help but feel frustrated with the beautiful boy standing in front of me for making me break my rule so quickly. It made me realize that this was going to be a lot harder than I thought.<br /> "So you're good?" asked Isaac. I nodded, not willing to say anything more. He smirked at me. "I love a girl who knows how to handle a stick properly."<br /> I frowned at him in disgust. Did he really just say that?<br /> "Just ignore him," said Alex, giving his cousin a shove. "He's the family pervert, so if you need me to beat him up, just ask." I offered Alex a small smile. He was just as cute as his older brother Cole, but I could tell he didn't have the same cocky attitude.<br /> "Thanks Alex, but I think I can handle him," I said. Isaac wiggled his eyebrows at my comment. Yuck, I didn't mean it like that!<br /> "That's good," said Cole, "you're going to need to be strong if you're hanging around here."<br /> He grabbed one of my bags that Will had started to pile on the deck, and threw it over his shoulder before heading into the house. Everyone else grabbed a towel and followed him in. For one long moment I stood on the deck alone, looking at my new house. Squeezing my eyes shut, I pictured the penthouse back in New York and the hurt flooded through me with ease. My family was gone and they were never coming back.<br /> "Hey Jackie, are you coming or what?" someone called.<br /> I opened my eyes and nodded my head. This might be where I have to live, but I knew it would never be my home.<br /> --<br /> Cole led me up the stairs and through a maze of halls. When we reached the farthest corner of the house, Cole finally stopped.<br /> "This is where you will be staying," he said, pushing open a door. I walked into the room, but it was pitch black. Putting my hand on the wall, I searched for the light switch. Cole and I found it at the same time. The contact was electric and I pulled my hand back in shock when our fingers touched. He chuckled and I was glad that the darkness covered my blush. When Cole turned on the lights and a warm glow lit up the room, I forgot my embarrassment and gasped in awe.<br /> Every inch of the walls had been painted in vivid colors. A mural of a tropical rainforest started on one end of the room and by the time it had wrapped around to the other side it had transformed into an ocean filled with sea creatures. One side of the ceiling had been painted to look like the night sky, which faded into day on the other. Even the wooden panels on the ceiling fan had been decorated. I stood, mouth open, and gaped at my new room.<br /> "I hope you don't mind it. Nathan ran out of furniture and walls to paint on, so my mom finally surrendered her guest room." He scratched the back of his head looking embarrassed.<br /> "Oh my god, I love it!" I said truthfully. My new room was probably the first thing that I actually loved about Colorado. Cole smiled a slow cocky grin that made me want to squirm. He still had no shirt on and I purposely kept my gaze glued to his face so I wouldn't stare. How was I ever going to live with this boy who looked like a Greek God?<br /> "Well that's good, because his work is all over the ranch. If he's not painting, he's not happy," he said.<br /> It took us a few trips to get my luggage inside. Everyone else had disappeared quickly, so no one else was there to help. I started unpacking, and Cole leaned against the doorway and watched me work. First I took out my laptop and set it on the desk, which was painted in brilliant colors. Then I pulled out a handful of photographs. For a moment I considered asking Cole for some tape so I could put them up, but as I looked down at a picture of my sister I knew that I wouldn't be able to handle seeing my family's smiling faces. Instead, I slipped them back into the front pocket of my backpack. Next, I unzipped my largest suitcase and started to put my clothes in the dresser that was painted to match the desk. I decided to unpack my undergarments when Cole wasn't staring at me.<br /> "So you're a big sports person, huh?" he asked when I piled all my hockey gear in one of the corners.<br /> "Yeah, I'm not really a girlie-girl." As the words left my mouth, doubtful thoughts swirled in my head. Should I have said that? Would Cole make fun of me? You shouldn't care, I told myself silently.<br /> Cole just laughed. "Really?" he asked raising an eyebrow, "because you sure pack like one."<br /> My face turned a bright shade of red, and I had to contain myself from yelling at him. Of course I packed a lot. I was being forced to move across the country because I had no home anymore!<br /> "Well anyways," he continued, "when you're done you can head down to the kitchen. It's almost dinner time, which is one of the best parts of the day. My mom always cooks something good and we all eat together."<br /> He smirked at me one last time before turning to leave. When he disappeared around the corner, I collapsed on my new bed and sighed. I had survived my first encounter with the Walter boys. I didn't feel up to round two, but then my stomach growled, so I changed out of my wet clothes before reluctantly heading off to my second encounter with the Walter boys.<br /> --<br /> I turned off the hot water and stepped out of the shower. Dinner had been a disaster and it was entirely my fault. After Mr. and Mrs. Walter had calmed down the mayhem, everyone was given a job to clean up the mess. That was everyone except for me. Katherine had apologized profusely for her son's behavior and sent me off to take a shower even though I had pleaded to help. Most of the boys threw me dirty looks as I left the kitchen.<br /> "Oh!" I squeaked when I walked out of the bathroom to find Cole sitting on my bed. He was still covered in tomato sauce, but was eating out of a take-out Chinese carton. A smile spread across his face when he looked me up and down.<br /> "Nice towel, Jackie," he laughed.<br /> I blushed, wrapping it tighter around my figure. What the heck was he doing in my room? What if I had walked out undressed? Mortified, I turned away from his prying eyes and went to get my clothes from the dresser.<br /> "Want some?" he asked while holding up the carton of food.<br /> "Yeah, hold on," I replied as I hurried back into the bathroom to change.<br /> When I came back out, he was still sitting on my bed. Cautiously, I sat down next to him and he handed me some chopsticks. For the next few minutes we sat in silence, eating sweet chicken. It felt surprisingly peaceful sitting with Cole. But of course he had to go and ruin one of the only relaxing moments I'd had since moving here.<br /> "I enjoyed the dinner show tonight," he said.<br /> I turned away from him and buried my face in a fluffy pillow.<br /> Cole laughed. "Aw, come on, Jackie. It was just a joke. To be honest, that stuff happens all the time in this house."<br /> I propped myself up on my elbows and raised an eyebrow. "Really?" I questioned. "'Cause that sounds like a load of bull."<br /> "Well, it's not always that dramatic, but at least you did it with flair. You should've seen the look on your face when you pulled Izzy out." He let out a whole hearted laugh again.<br /> "Izzy?" I asked in confusion.<br /> Cole set the empty box of Chinese down on the bedside table and scooted closer. "He's Jordan's snake."<br /> "Any other dangerous pets I should know about?" I grumbled.<br /> "Nope," he said with a laugh. "Just Isaac."<br /> My bedroom door swung open as Danny burst into the room. "Cole! Kelly's here looking for—" Danny stopped mid-sentence when he saw us. "Oh. Um, sorry for interrupting, but she's waiting in the living room."<br /> "Okay," Cole replied calmly. He was still staring at me. Danny backed out of the room and shut the door. He looked at me for a moment longer before getting off the bed and grabbing the empty container to throw away.<br /> "Don't worry, Jackie. Tomorrow will be better, I promise. Besides, you should be excited about tomorrow. It's your first day at ourschool."<br /> "Oh, great," I moaned and flopped back onto my pillow. I was so caught up in the dinner disaster that I had almost forgotten that I would be going to a public school for the first time in my life tomorrow morning.<br /> "'Night, Jackie," he said as he walked across the room.<br /> "Goodnight, Cole," I responded. Suddenly, a thought ran through my head. "Wait," I called just as Cole was about to shut the door. "Who's Kelly?<br /> Cole paused before responding. "Oh, she's my girlfriend."<br /> --<br /> I went to the kitchen to get some breakfast before anyone else woke up. I thought it was the perfect way to avoid another catastrophe. Of course, my plan backfired to the highest degree. Mrs. Walter was sitting at the table in a pink, fuzzy bathrobe, drinking coffee and reading a book. To make matters worse, Isaac was there too. He was standing at the kitchen counter and eating a bagel in his boxers. The only thing I could do was stand there and gawk like an idiot.<br /> "Morning, Jackie!" he exclaimed through a mouthful of bagel. Once again, I felt warmth creeping up into my cheeks. Why did every single one of these boys have a perfect set of abs?<br /> "Um, hi Isaac," I greeted stupidly. Katherine looked up with a start at the sound of my voice.<br /> "Isaac!" she scolded. "Go put some clothes on, for God's sake! There's a girl in the house now."<br /> "But you're a girl and you've never had a problem with it before," he whined. "Besides, Jackie doesn't mind, do you Jackie?" He turned to face me.<br /> What the heck was I supposed to say to that? Oh my God Isaac, I love staring at your half-undressed body? As if I needed to feed his ego. Instead, I answered like any smart girl in my situation would do.<br /> "Um..." I trailed off, looking back and forth between the two.

Although other people in the pack often bully me, if Calvin is around, I can persevere. On that day, Calvin's birthday, I found out that he had an affair with my sister, and I decided to leave the pack. Just as I was about to leave, Alpha King came to our pack, and he captured everyone.<br /> "You want her? She's a human!"<br /> The king released a roar that made every member of the pack flinch and drop their heads lower in submission. With my face only a few inches from the ground, I watched with terror as the king moved away from me and stood before my biggest bully Kate. <br /> The greater distance between us allowed me to see more of him. He was larger than the other Lycans, his body covered in knotted scars that were visible beneath his fur.<br /> His claw was the size of Kate's head as he punched it through her ch#st, ripping her heart out the other side and sending the pack into a flurry of sobs and terrified mumblings for mercy.<br /> "You will do well to teach your pack to respect those above them." The witch's voice called out again, but I was trapped staring at Kate's body as the king pulled his hand out, and it fell to the ground.<br /> I was aware of him walking back to me, but I couldn’t take my eyes away. It was the large hand that grabbed me by my backpack and lifted me off the ground like a doll that brought me back to reality, and I instinctively met the glowing red eyes of the Lycan King.<br /> His deep voice sent a chill through me as he spoke, "Mine."<br /> ---<br /> Janet's P.O.V.<br /> <br /> I felt uneasy as soon as I entered the pack house. The way my pack mates were smirking at me, laughing behind their hands... I knew they were up to something. Their pranks and bullying had been getting worse and more painful each time they managed to get me alone. My bruises still hadn't gone away from the last time.<br /> <br /> My body ached from the beating I had taken two days ago, but I was only a few hours away from it all ending.<br /> <br /> I just needed to get to Calvin before they set their plan into motion.<br /> <br /> Calvin was my boyfriend of four years. He was the only one that cared for me, and the only one I could trust.<br /> <br /> We were high school sweethearts. He was also the next in line to become the Alpha of our pack. That didn't matter to me, but it did matter to the other women in the pack. They hated that he was with me. They felt that they deserved a stronger Luna than I would be, and they all wanted to be his chosen one.<br /> <br /> I hadn't even shifted yet. To them, I was no more than an omega...a runt as they liked to call me, the weakest of the litter.<br /> <br /> It should have happened three years ago when I turned sixteen, but it didn't. Now I was nineteen, the age at which we could recognize our mates as our wolves should have matured by then. Had I shifted, I would have known Calvin was my mate already, but we had to wait the extra two months until today, his nineteenth birthday, for him to recognize me as his mate.<br /> <br /> Calvin didn't care that I hadn't turned. We had been together since before either of us were old enough to shift, and we were both positive that we were mates. He stood by me and protected me from the cruelty of the wolves around us when I failed to shift with the others.<br /> <br /> 'Calvin? Where are you?' I asked through our pack link but received no response.<br /> <br /> "Poor little human, you have a lot of guts to show up here right now. Do you have any idea how happy the pack is? Having you here will just ruin it. This party is for pack wolves only." Kate, my sister's best friend, said as the crowd parted for her, and the music stopped. All of the party guests stopped dancing and talking to watch as the biggest bully in the pack approached me.<br /> <br /> The flashing lights of varying colors continued in the uncomfortable silence.<br /> <br /> I hoped the man of the hour would see the disruption and step forward to my side, but he didn't. As I glanced around at all of the amused faces, he was nowhere to be seen.<br /> <br /> "Calvin invited me. I am in this pack, and I'm allowed to be here." I whispered, but I could feel the heat building in the back of my eyes as they all laughed again. Something was going on, and it was more than just Kate running her big mouth.<br /> <br /> "Even he doesn't want you here." She sneered before smiling at me widely. "See for yourself. Where is Calvin, hm? I think he went up to his room. You should go bring him back down to the party and see what he has to say."<br /> <br /> I held his present against my chest tighter as I narrowed my eyes. She was up to something, but I wanted to get to Calvin more than I wanted to deal with her b##lsh!t.<br /> <br /> As I took a step forward, Kate stepped to the side, and I could feel everyone watching me with amusement as I went up the stairs.<br /> <br /> Calvin's room was at the end of the hall behind double doors, and I rushed toward it. I could hear people coming up the stairs behind me, no doubt being led by Kate, but my salvation was only a few feet away.<br /> <br /> As soon as I got in his room, I could close the door and act as if none of them existed.<br /> <br /> It would just be the two of us.<br /> <br /> There was a stirring in the back of my mind as I wrapped my hand around the cold doorknob. It was a warning, telling me not to go inside. It wanted me to turn around and run, knowing this was a trap. Yet, I turned the knob anyway and pushed the door open.<br /> <br /> The loud moan of the female beneath my boyfriend made me freeze, and I stared wide-eyed at the couple tangled together. <br /> <br /> Calvin thr#st into her quickly, releasing his own groans of pleasure.<br /> <br /> My stomach tied in a knot, and it felt hard to breathe. The small spark of light in my life was extinguished, sending my mind into complete darkness as I processed what I was seeing.<br /> <br /> He lifted his head, meeting my tear-streaked face, but not seeing me as his wolf was in control. His canines extended just before he latched onto her neck, puncturing the skin and marking her as his mate.<br /> <br /> My sister.<br /> <br /> "No," I whispered as my hand covered my mouth. Calvin pulled back snarling at the disruption.<br /> <br /> "I told you he didn't want you," Kate whispered into my ear, and my sister laughed from beneath my boyfriend as she reached up and ran her hand through Calvin's short blonde hair.<br /> <br /> "Would you mind closing the door, Janet?" Kelly asked innocently, but the malicious look in her narrowed eyes showed she was pleased by her victory over me. Not only had she stolen the love of my life, but she was now to be his Luna. "I'm trying to have a private moment with my mate."<br /> <br /> Mate.<br /> <br /> The word seemed so empty now. Calvin had hated Kelly. He had watched how mean she was toward me and resented her. Now, he was baring his teeth at me, defending her.<br /> <br /> "How could you?" I choked out as a sob wracked through my ch#st, and the present in my hold dropped to the floor before me. The sudden and loud noise seemed to snap Calvin back into control, and his eyes returned to their normal brown.<br /> <br /> His jaw dropped open as he glanced from me to my sister with guilt, but he didn't look the least bit regretful. He was happy to have found and marked his mate, he only hated that he had been caught cheating. The torn look on his face only made me angrier as he gasped my name while he pulled out of my sister. She sat up as he climbed to his feet, neither of them ashamed to be seen n@#ed.<br /> <br /> "Janet, I…" He said, stepping forward and causing me to take a step away, only to be pushed back toward him by the crowd of on-lookers.<br /> <br /> I stumbled forward, trying to stay as far away from him as possible.<br /> <br /> The steady stream of tears blurred my vision, and my ch#st hurt as he whispered my name again. "Janet…She’s, my mate." He finally announced, causing the house to cheer in celebration that their future Luna had been claimed.

Although other people in the pack often bully me, if Calvin is around, I can persevere. On that day, Calvin's birthday, I found out that he had an affair with my sister, and I decided to leave the pack. Just as I was about to leave, Alpha King came to our pack, and he captured everyone.<br /> "You want her? She's a human!"<br /> The king released a roar that made every member of the pack flinch and drop their heads lower in submission. With my face only a few inches from the ground, I watched with terror as the king moved away from me and stood before my biggest bully Kate. <br /> The greater distance between us allowed me to see more of him. He was larger than the other Lycans, his body covered in knotted scars that were visible beneath his fur.<br /> His claw was the size of Kate's head as he punched it through her ch#st, ripping her heart out the other side and sending the pack into a flurry of sobs and terrified mumblings for mercy.<br /> "You will do well to teach your pack to respect those above them." The witch's voice called out again, but I was trapped staring at Kate's body as the king pulled his hand out, and it fell to the ground.<br /> I was aware of him walking back to me, but I couldn’t take my eyes away. It was the large hand that grabbed me by my backpack and lifted me off the ground like a doll that brought me back to reality, and I instinctively met the glowing red eyes of the Lycan King.<br /> His deep voice sent a chill through me as he spoke, "Mine."<br /> ---<br /> Janet's P.O.V.<br /> <br /> I felt uneasy as soon as I entered the pack house. The way my pack mates were smirking at me, laughing behind their hands... I knew they were up to something. Their pranks and bullying had been getting worse and more painful each time they managed to get me alone. My bruises still hadn't gone away from the last time.<br /> <br /> My body ached from the beating I had taken two days ago, but I was only a few hours away from it all ending.<br /> <br /> I just needed to get to Calvin before they set their plan into motion.<br /> <br /> Calvin was my boyfriend of four years. He was the only one that cared for me, and the only one I could trust.<br /> <br /> We were high school sweethearts. He was also the next in line to become the Alpha of our pack. That didn't matter to me, but it did matter to the other women in the pack. They hated that he was with me. They felt that they deserved a stronger Luna than I would be, and they all wanted to be his chosen one.<br /> <br /> I hadn't even shifted yet. To them, I was no more than an omega...a runt as they liked to call me, the weakest of the litter.<br /> <br /> It should have happened three years ago when I turned sixteen, but it didn't. Now I was nineteen, the age at which we could recognize our mates as our wolves should have matured by then. Had I shifted, I would have known Calvin was my mate already, but we had to wait the extra two months until today, his nineteenth birthday, for him to recognize me as his mate.<br /> <br /> Calvin didn't care that I hadn't turned. We had been together since before either of us were old enough to shift, and we were both positive that we were mates. He stood by me and protected me from the cruelty of the wolves around us when I failed to shift with the others.<br /> <br /> 'Calvin? Where are you?' I asked through our pack link but received no response.<br /> <br /> "Poor little human, you have a lot of guts to show up here right now. Do you have any idea how happy the pack is? Having you here will just ruin it. This party is for pack wolves only." Kate, my sister's best friend, said as the crowd parted for her, and the music stopped. All of the party guests stopped dancing and talking to watch as the biggest bully in the pack approached me.<br /> <br /> The flashing lights of varying colors continued in the uncomfortable silence.<br /> <br /> I hoped the man of the hour would see the disruption and step forward to my side, but he didn't. As I glanced around at all of the amused faces, he was nowhere to be seen.<br /> <br /> "Calvin invited me. I am in this pack, and I'm allowed to be here." I whispered, but I could feel the heat building in the back of my eyes as they all laughed again. Something was going on, and it was more than just Kate running her big mouth.<br /> <br /> "Even he doesn't want you here." She sneered before smiling at me widely. "See for yourself. Where is Calvin, hm? I think he went up to his room. You should go bring him back down to the party and see what he has to say."<br /> <br /> I held his present against my chest tighter as I narrowed my eyes. She was up to something, but I wanted to get to Calvin more than I wanted to deal with her b##lsh!t.<br /> <br /> As I took a step forward, Kate stepped to the side, and I could feel everyone watching me with amusement as I went up the stairs.<br /> <br /> Calvin's room was at the end of the hall behind double doors, and I rushed toward it. I could hear people coming up the stairs behind me, no doubt being led by Kate, but my salvation was only a few feet away.<br /> <br /> As soon as I got in his room, I could close the door and act as if none of them existed.<br /> <br /> It would just be the two of us.<br /> <br /> There was a stirring in the back of my mind as I wrapped my hand around the cold doorknob. It was a warning, telling me not to go inside. It wanted me to turn around and run, knowing this was a trap. Yet, I turned the knob anyway and pushed the door open.<br /> <br /> The loud moan of the female beneath my boyfriend made me freeze, and I stared wide-eyed at the couple tangled together. <br /> <br /> Calvin thr#st into her quickly, releasing his own groans of pleasure.<br /> <br /> My stomach tied in a knot, and it felt hard to breathe. The small spark of light in my life was extinguished, sending my mind into complete darkness as I processed what I was seeing.<br /> <br /> He lifted his head, meeting my tear-streaked face, but not seeing me as his wolf was in control. His canines extended just before he latched onto her neck, puncturing the skin and marking her as his mate.<br /> <br /> My sister.<br /> <br /> "No," I whispered as my hand covered my mouth. Calvin pulled back snarling at the disruption.<br /> <br /> "I told you he didn't want you," Kate whispered into my ear, and my sister laughed from beneath my boyfriend as she reached up and ran her hand through Calvin's short blonde hair.<br /> <br /> "Would you mind closing the door, Janet?" Kelly asked innocently, but the malicious look in her narrowed eyes showed she was pleased by her victory over me. Not only had she stolen the love of my life, but she was now to be his Luna. "I'm trying to have a private moment with my mate."<br /> <br /> Mate.<br /> <br /> The word seemed so empty now. Calvin had hated Kelly. He had watched how mean she was toward me and resented her. Now, he was baring his teeth at me, defending her.<br /> <br /> "How could you?" I choked out as a sob wracked through my ch#st, and the present in my hold dropped to the floor before me. The sudden and loud noise seemed to snap Calvin back into control, and his eyes returned to their normal brown.<br /> <br /> His jaw dropped open as he glanced from me to my sister with guilt, but he didn't look the least bit regretful. He was happy to have found and marked his mate, he only hated that he had been caught cheating. The torn look on his face only made me angrier as he gasped my name while he pulled out of my sister. She sat up as he climbed to his feet, neither of them ashamed to be seen n@#ed.<br /> <br /> "Janet, I…" He said, stepping forward and causing me to take a step away, only to be pushed back toward him by the crowd of on-lookers.<br /> <br /> I stumbled forward, trying to stay as far away from him as possible.<br /> <br /> The steady stream of tears blurred my vision, and my ch#st hurt as he whispered my name again. "Janet…She’s, my mate." He finally announced, causing the house to cheer in celebration that their future Luna had been claimed.

I could see the pain in her eyes and hear the hurt in her voice. My mom must have meant something to her. I choked, trying to gasp for air, and sharp pains raked my stomach. Finally, the tears came.<br /> "Shhh, honey," said Katherine, stroking my hair as I bawled. "It's going to be okay. I'm going to take care of you."<br /> And so began my journey away from the beautiful city I loved. Away from the cement jungle that had always kept me captivated. Far away from the flashing neon signs and the sound of traffic that lulled me to sleep. Away from the expensive shopping, colorful Broadway shows and restaurants that offered every cuisine imaginable. And far away from New York which held my childhood memories and my heart.<br /> I was heading towards Colorado and a ranch with twelve beautiful boys.<br /> --<br /> "Jackie!" Katherine called through the open garage door that led to what must have been the backyard. I followed her voice out into the sunlight.<br /> At first, the only thing I saw was her standing on a pool deck, waving at me. But then I saw them in the water. They were splashing and goofing around—a completely shirtless bunch of gorgeous guys.<br /> "Come here, honey!" called Katherine, so I had no other choice but to join her on the deck. I climbed up the wooden steps hoping that my face wasn't red or puffy from crying and dropped my heavy bag to the ground. Much to my discomfort, everyone went silent.<br /> "Boys," began George, breaking the silence, "this is Jackie and—"<br /> "—and she will be staying with us for a while," finished Katherine, while giving her husband a stern look. A loud breath of air escaped my lungs as I sighed. I hadn't realized how much I didn't want the boys to know why I was really here. I wasn't ready to talk to a bunch of strangers about my family. Besides, if the boys knew, they might treat me like something breakable and that was the last thing I wanted.<br /> At the moment, they were all staring at me like I was a foreigner invading their personal country.<br /> I decided it was time to make peace. Slowly, I raised my hand and shyly waved. "Hi guys. I'm Jackie."<br /> One of the older boys swam forward and pulled himself out of the pool, breaking line with the others. I took one look at him and my pulse stopped. He looked like he had just stepped out of a sports magazine. His pale blond hair was messy and matted down from the pool and I couldn't help but notice that his perfectly toned muscles were lightly misted with water. There were water droplets caught in his dark eyelashes that sparkled in the sunlight, framing his bright blue eyes. Overall, he made me want to melt.<br /> "Why?" he questioned, fixing his bright eyes on me. "Why are you staying with us?"<br /> "Cole!" George scolded. "Don't be so rude. Jackie is our guest."<br /> Cole turned to grin at the other boys and then proceeded to look back to his father. He shrugged. "What? We were all thinking it. I was just the first one to say it."<br /> A few of the other guys nodded in agreement. I felt myself freeze up, afraid that if I told them why I was here, I would break down and start crying again. I definitely didn't want that to happen.<br /> Katherine noticed my panicked look and jumped in to save me. "As you all know, I went to visit Jackie's mother, M-Molly." She stumbled over my mother's name. "There are a few family issues going on right now, so I offered to take Jackie with me." Katherine took a deep breath when she finished. I felt relieved that I wasn't the one who had to lie. Maybe once I settled into the Walter household I could tell them the truth, but not until I knew where I stood with the boys.<br /> "Well, I think I'll just grab the rest of my stuff," I said, wanting to get away from the dozen pair of eyes that were staring at me.<br /> "Oh, right, I forgot. One of you boys needs to help Jackie to her room, while I go make dinner. You all behave yourselves." Katherine pointed a finger at her kids.<br /> When I turned to leave as Katherine and George disappeared into the house, someone caught my arm. I looked up to find myself face to face with one of the boys. He was the tallest of them all, and probably the oldest too. His golden blond hair was pulled back into a short ponytail, and the few strands that weren't held back had curled in the heat. His strong jaw line, thick chin and long straight nose made the glasses he was wearing look rather small. His forearms were very toned, and his hands were rough, most likely from working on the ranch.<br /> "You planning on staying long or do you normally pack this much?" he asked with a smile, looking down at my giant hockey bag. Thinking of home caused my lips to tremble and I felt tears form in my eyes. I didn't want to stay very long at all, but where else could I go? His smile faltered, and the look of concern in his eyes made me feel like somehow he understood. It made me trust him. I wasn't quite sure why, but maybe it was because he looked more like a man than the rest of the boys.<br /> "I don't think I'm going home," I admitted in a low whisper. I didn't want the others to hear, but they were all chattering in the background and not paying attention anyways. He nodded his head and dropped the subject. His small act of kindness made me want to start sobbing again. However, I had a gut feeling that the rest of the boys wouldn't be as nice. I knew that if they thought I was weak, they would eat me alive and spit me back up later.<br /> I made a decision, then and there. If I was going to survive in a house full of boys, there was no way I could let them know about my past or the pain I was suffering. I made myself a rule: no talking about New York. By shutting that part of my life into some deep corner of my mind, I was protecting myself. Being numb was better than feeling pain anyway, right?<br /> The eldest boy cleared his throat to get his brothers' attention. When it quieted down, he started to introduce everyone. "Well, I'm Will and you've already met Cole," he said, pointing to his fair-haired younger brother who had nearly exposed my secret earlier. Cole smirked and saluted me.<br /> "Yeah, never mind him. He's a jerk," Will said. "Over here is Danny." Danny was almost as tall as Will, but much skinnier and his chin was covered in stubble.<br /> "That's Isaac, my cousin," continued Will, pointing to a boy who stood out, due to his midnight black hair. He had the same facial features as the other boys, but was clearly from different parents.<br /> "This is Alex." A younger looking version of Cole stepped forward. He was wearing a baseball cap, and it looked like he spent every day in the sun because his skin was tanned perfectly. I gave him a nervous nod, and he waved back.<br /> "Lee is Isaac's little brother." He gestured to another boy with black hair, and his scowl made me look away.<br /> Next, Will introduced me to Nathan. He was a scrawny teen, but I could tell that when he grew, he would be just as attractive as his older brothers. He was dry, and the only boy not dressed in swimwear. His shirt and jeans were covered in paint. I smiled when I saw two brushes sticking out of his pocket. It almost seemed a little cliché to me when I recalled Katherine saying something about him liking art.<br /> Then there was Jack and Jordan—the first set of twins. They were both wearing the same orange striped shirt, which was heavy with water and clinging to their skin. I was grateful that Jack wore glasses so I could tell the two apart.<br /> Next was Peter, who insisted on being called Pete. Pete had bad sunburn and was sporting an adorable bowl-cut.<br /> Before I could be introduced to the last two boys, they ran from the group and jumped on me. For a moment I thought I would be able to keep my balance, but then my knees buckled and I fell back—straight into the pool.<br /> I paddled back up to the surface, sputtering and gasping for air. I could hear most of the guys laughing.<br /> "Hi Jackie!" cried one of the twins as he stood at the edge of the pool. He was a cute little kid who still hadn't lost his baby fat. Freckles covered his face and his blond hair curled all over. "I'm Zack and that's my twin, Benny!" I looked over to see an exact replica of the smiling kid break the surface of the water.<br /> "Gosh! Someone get Jackie a towel!" Will demanded. He stuck out a hand to help me up, and soon I was shivering on the side of the pool. It was too early in spring to be swimming. These boys were crazy! I was handed a red Power Rangers towel and I quickly wrapped it around myself to cover the now see-through white shirt I was wearing.<br /> "I'm really sorry about that," Will said, before shooting the younger twins a glare.<br /> "The only thing I'm sorry about is that he gave her a towel," someone muttered. I whipped around to see who it was, but they were all standing together silently trying to keep the grins off their faces. Taking a deep breath, I turned back to Will.<br /> "It's okay, but I'd like to go inside and get changed."<br /> "I can help with that," another voice joked. This time the boys couldn't contain their laughter.<br /> "Isaac!" Will snapped. He glared over my shoulder at his cousin until the boys quieted down. Then he turned back to me. "Do you have any other bags in the car?" he asked.<br /> "A ton," I said and nodded my head.<br /> "All right, I'll start unloading the car and someone can show you to your room."<br /> As Will retreated off the deck, I felt myself shrink. So far my only friend had just left me with the enemies. Taking a deep breath of air, I gulped and turned back around. The Walter boys looked at me, their faces blank.<br /> After an awkward thirty seconds, Cole shook his head in irritation and pointed at the house. "Are you going to just stare at us, or do you want to go inside?" he asked. Cole might have been hot—his damp hair had dried into a dreamy I-just-had-hot kind of way—but I could tell he was a jerk and his words made my eyes gloss over with tears. I blinked them back and looked away.<br /> "I want to go inside," I muttered quietly. Then, to show him so, I picked up my bag and hung it over my shoulder.<br /> "Don't forget these," one of the boys said, picking up my skates.<br /> "Thanks um..."<br /> "Nathan," he said with a smile.<br /> "Thanks, Nathan."<br /> "So you play hockey, huh?" Cole asked. His arms were crossed over his chest almost like he didn't believe it.<br /> "Yeah, almost every day since I was six," I stated, proud of myself. "I play goalie." Thinking of hockey made me think of my mom, who had always taken me to practice, even though she didn't know anything about sports. Another wave of pain washed over me and I realized that I had already broken my new rule: no talking about home. This was going to be a lot harder than I thought. But I couldn't help it. Cole's skeptical tone gave me a sudden urge to prove myself to him. Consequently, I couldn't help but feel frustrated with the beautiful boy standing in front of me for making me break my rule so quickly. It made me realize that this was going to be a lot harder than I thought.<br /> "So you're good?" asked Isaac. I nodded, not willing to say anything more. He smirked at me. "I love a girl who knows how to handle a stick properly."<br /> I frowned at him in disgust. Did he really just say that?<br /> "Just ignore him," said Alex, giving his cousin a shove. "He's the family pervert, so if you need me to beat him up, just ask." I offered Alex a small smile. He was just as cute as his older brother Cole, but I could tell he didn't have the same cocky attitude.<br /> "Thanks Alex, but I think I can handle him," I said. Isaac wiggled his eyebrows at my comment. Yuck, I didn't mean it like that!<br /> "That's good," said Cole, "you're going to need to be strong if you're hanging around here."<br /> He grabbed one of my bags that Will had started to pile on the deck, and threw it over his shoulder before heading into the house. Everyone else grabbed a towel and followed him in. For one long moment I stood on the deck alone, looking at my new house. Squeezing my eyes shut, I pictured the penthouse back in New York and the hurt flooded through me with ease. My family was gone and they were never coming back.<br /> "Hey Jackie, are you coming or what?" someone called.<br /> I opened my eyes and nodded my head. This might be where I have to live, but I knew it would never be my home.<br /> --<br /> Cole led me up the stairs and through a maze of halls. When we reached the farthest corner of the house, Cole finally stopped.<br /> "This is where you will be staying," he said, pushing open a door. I walked into the room, but it was pitch black. Putting my hand on the wall, I searched for the light switch. Cole and I found it at the same time. The contact was electric and I pulled my hand back in shock when our fingers touched. He chuckled and I was glad that the darkness covered my blush. When Cole turned on the lights and a warm glow lit up the room, I forgot my embarrassment and gasped in awe.<br /> Every inch of the walls had been painted in vivid colors. A mural of a tropical rainforest started on one end of the room and by the time it had wrapped around to the other side it had transformed into an ocean filled with sea creatures. One side of the ceiling had been painted to look like the night sky, which faded into day on the other. Even the wooden panels on the ceiling fan had been decorated. I stood, mouth open, and gaped at my new room.<br /> "I hope you don't mind it. Nathan ran out of furniture and walls to paint on, so my mom finally surrendered her guest room." He scratched the back of his head looking embarrassed.<br /> "Oh my god, I love it!" I said truthfully. My new room was probably the first thing that I actually loved about Colorado. Cole smiled a slow cocky grin that made me want to squirm. He still had no shirt on and I purposely kept my gaze glued to his face so I wouldn't stare. How was I ever going to live with this boy who looked like a Greek God?<br /> "Well that's good, because his work is all over the ranch. If he's not painting, he's not happy," he said.<br /> It took us a few trips to get my luggage inside. Everyone else had disappeared quickly, so no one else was there to help. I started unpacking, and Cole leaned against the doorway and watched me work. First I took out my laptop and set it on the desk, which was painted in brilliant colors. Then I pulled out a handful of photographs. For a moment I considered asking Cole for some tape so I could put them up, but as I looked down at a picture of my sister I knew that I wouldn't be able to handle seeing my family's smiling faces. Instead, I slipped them back into the front pocket of my backpack. Next, I unzipped my largest suitcase and started to put my clothes in the dresser that was painted to match the desk. I decided to unpack my undergarments when Cole wasn't staring at me.<br /> "So you're a big sports person, huh?" he asked when I piled all my hockey gear in one of the corners.<br /> "Yeah, I'm not really a girlie-girl." As the words left my mouth, doubtful thoughts swirled in my head. Should I have said that? Would Cole make fun of me? You shouldn't care, I told myself silently.<br /> Cole just laughed. "Really?" he asked raising an eyebrow, "because you sure pack like one."<br /> My face turned a bright shade of red, and I had to contain myself from yelling at him. Of course I packed a lot. I was being forced to move across the country because I had no home anymore!<br /> "Well anyways," he continued, "when you're done you can head down to the kitchen. It's almost dinner time, which is one of the best parts of the day. My mom always cooks something good and we all eat together."<br /> He smirked at me one last time before turning to leave. When he disappeared around the corner, I collapsed on my new bed and sighed. I had survived my first encounter with the Walter boys. I didn't feel up to round two, but then my stomach growled, so I changed out of my wet clothes before reluctantly heading off to my second encounter with the Walter boys.<br /> --<br /> I turned off the hot water and stepped out of the shower. Dinner had been a disaster and it was entirely my fault. After Mr. and Mrs. Walter had calmed down the mayhem, everyone was given a job to clean up the mess. That was everyone except for me. Katherine had apologized profusely for her son's behavior and sent me off to take a shower even though I had pleaded to help. Most of the boys threw me dirty looks as I left the kitchen.<br /> "Oh!" I squeaked when I walked out of the bathroom to find Cole sitting on my bed. He was still covered in tomato sauce, but was eating out of a take-out Chinese carton. A smile spread across his face when he looked me up and down.<br /> "Nice towel, Jackie," he laughed.<br /> I blushed, wrapping it tighter around my figure. What the heck was he doing in my room? What if I had walked out undressed? Mortified, I turned away from his prying eyes and went to get my clothes from the dresser.<br /> "Want some?" he asked while holding up the carton of food.<br /> "Yeah, hold on," I replied as I hurried back into the bathroom to change.<br /> When I came back out, he was still sitting on my bed. Cautiously, I sat down next to him and he handed me some chopsticks. For the next few minutes we sat in silence, eating sweet chicken. It felt surprisingly peaceful sitting with Cole. But of course he had to go and ruin one of the only relaxing moments I'd had since moving here.<br /> "I enjoyed the dinner show tonight," he said.<br /> I turned away from him and buried my face in a fluffy pillow.<br /> Cole laughed. "Aw, come on, Jackie. It was just a joke. To be honest, that stuff happens all the time in this house."<br /> I propped myself up on my elbows and raised an eyebrow. "Really?" I questioned. "'Cause that sounds like a load of bull."<br /> "Well, it's not always that dramatic, but at least you did it with flair. You should've seen the look on your face when you pulled Izzy out." He let out a whole hearted laugh again.<br /> "Izzy?" I asked in confusion.<br /> Cole set the empty box of Chinese down on the bedside table and scooted closer. "He's Jordan's snake."<br /> "Any other dangerous pets I should know about?" I grumbled.<br /> "Nope," he said with a laugh. "Just Isaac."<br /> My bedroom door swung open as Danny burst into the room. "Cole! Kelly's here looking for—" Danny stopped mid-sentence when he saw us. "Oh. Um, sorry for interrupting, but she's waiting in the living room."<br /> "Okay," Cole replied calmly. He was still staring at me. Danny backed out of the room and shut the door. He looked at me for a moment longer before getting off the bed and grabbing the empty container to throw away.<br /> "Don't worry, Jackie. Tomorrow will be better, I promise. Besides, you should be excited about tomorrow. It's your first day at ourschool."<br /> "Oh, great," I moaned and flopped back onto my pillow. I was so caught up in the dinner disaster that I had almost forgotten that I would be going to a public school for the first time in my life tomorrow morning.<br /> "'Night, Jackie," he said as he walked across the room.<br /> "Goodnight, Cole," I responded. Suddenly, a thought ran through my head. "Wait," I called just as Cole was about to shut the door. "Who's Kelly?<br /> Cole paused before responding. "Oh, she's my girlfriend."<br /> --<br /> I went to the kitchen to get some breakfast before anyone else woke up. I thought it was the perfect way to avoid another catastrophe. Of course, my plan backfired to the highest degree. Mrs. Walter was sitting at the table in a pink, fuzzy bathrobe, drinking coffee and reading a book. To make matters worse, Isaac was there too. He was standing at the kitchen counter and eating a bagel in his boxers. The only thing I could do was stand there and gawk like an idiot.<br /> "Morning, Jackie!" he exclaimed through a mouthful of bagel. Once again, I felt warmth creeping up into my cheeks. Why did every single one of these boys have a perfect set of abs?<br /> "Um, hi Isaac," I greeted stupidly. Katherine looked up with a start at the sound of my voice.<br /> "Isaac!" she scolded. "Go put some clothes on, for God's sake! There's a girl in the house now."<br /> "But you're a girl and you've never had a problem with it before," he whined. "Besides, Jackie doesn't mind, do you Jackie?" He turned to face me.<br /> What the heck was I supposed to say to that? Oh my God Isaac, I love staring at your half-undressed body? As if I needed to feed his ego. Instead, I answered like any smart girl in my situation would do.<br /> "Um..." I trailed off, looking back and forth between the two.

I place the blankets and pillows in the small shower, pulled out some water bottles, and was hit by another contraction. So that was about 10 min apart. I sat down in my makeshift birth room. I did some stretches that are supposed to speed along the process of labor while I wait, counted time, and continued to contract. It took hours before I was contracting every few minutes. I reached down and I could not only feel that I was dilated but I was also touching the top of my pups head. It was time to push and push hard.<br /> I stood up into a crouch and grabbed the handhold and I pushed. I was in the middle of my first push when the bathroom door opened. There stood Kelly with my Mate standing behind her...<br /> —<br /> I grabbed my supplies and headed to my right since the last two people went straight and to the left. I walked for about a half-hour to make sure I was far enough away from everyone else. I had just walked into the clearing that was almost identical to my dream. It was a clearing around a large oak tree that has light-colored bark, low hanging branches, with Spanish moss hanging all over it. I pulled out my rubber mat and unfolded it and laid it at the base of the tree. I sat as lady-like as I could in my attire using the tree to lean back on. I sat and stared at the stars praying that my mate will find me quickly and that we will be all that mates should be.<br /> After a while, flairs and fireworks were shot up into the sky and the sound of distant howls could be heard. That was the signal that the males had entered the hunt. I was about three-fourths of a mile out, it seems, from the start. I opened my water bottle and took a sip while I sat and listened to the sound of the woods. Every now and then you would hear a distant growl, moan, shriek, squeal or moan.<br /> After about an hour I heard a rustling behind me, and also one to the front of me. The sound in front of me increased while the sound behind me stopped completely. I saw eyes shine at me through the brush and I stood up slowly keeping the tree at my back as protection. A grey wolf stalked out into the opening. This was not my mate.<br /> He was circling in closer when I heard a distant howl from behind me, that had taken my attention away from the grey wolf. My mistake, because he took that instance to pounce on me and shift into his human form. He was probably nearing the age limit of thirty-five and was completely undressed. The grey wolf had sandy blonde hair, was still well built, and was now hovering over top of me. As his hands tried to roam all over my body, I tried to fight my way from under him. This only enticed him more, since every time I squirmed, I was inadvertently rubbing myself against his manhood. In the distance, I heard a loud menacing roar. You could tell that the growl held authority and the grey wolfman stilled in his actions.<br /> In the blink of an eye, he was pulled off of me and thrown very harshly out of the clearing. That's when I smelled him. He smelled amazing, he smelled like Nautica cologne, mixed with fresh rainwater and blueberries. Since he had shifted he was undressed as the day he was born.<br /> He was more perfect than in my dream. As he walked towards me, you could see every muscle in his legs flex. He rolled his shoulders back, and his broad chest rippled towards his sculpted eight-pack that continued down into a perfect V. I lowered my eye and caught a glimpse of what lay between those powerful legs. Just as in my dream it was long and thick and standing at full attention. I was already wet with want.<br /> As he approached me he said just one word. "MINE!"<br /> I replied just as I did in the dream "YOURS!"<br /> That is where the dream ended and my new nightmare started.<br /> As my mate caught up to me, he grabbed me and pushed me hard into the tree. His left hand wrapped around my throat, and as I was forced to look into his eyes, and they are pitch black with no white. The darkest part of his wolf is at the surface, and he roughly turns my head to the left. I'm lifted and pressed harder into the tree. Without any warning or request, he is pushing into me. I feel my first time rip in another second.<br /> As I scream out loud from the pain, he growls in my ear "Shut up, I don't want to hear a peep from you little mate. Your gonna take what I have to give you no matter what."<br /> I silently cried as he continued pounding into me. I thought he was never going to finish. It felt like it had been more than an hour before he was finally ready to release. As he was nearing his finish, he quickened past inhuman speeds. His breathing was ragged and I felt like he was about to snap me in two. He finally let go of my neck, grabbing onto my hips, positioning me at a slightly different angle. He pounded into me as hard as he could three more times, leaving an indentation of my back in the tree, as he came filling me to the brim with his seed. As he finished his canines extended and he bites harshly into my neck causing me to scream once more. He stilled and caught his breath as he released his teeth from my neck. Once he was done filling me, he pulled out and dropped me to the ground.<br /> I fell hard, and I cried out again as pain spread up my spine from my tailbone. Maybe my mate wouldn't be better, than returning to my father. No, I want this. I want to go. He marked me. I have to go. I always knew that the possibility of my mate being gentle with me the first time was low. I never expected that but wolves are wild.<br /> He barked at me to stop, "Stop crying before I leave you here. My wolf got what he wanted, to feel his mate, and I got my fill. I'm not a repeat lay. I don't do the monogamous thing. So do not think that just because I am your mate that I will not reject you and leave you if you keep crying like a child. I have women throwing themselves at me every night. Any one of them would have loved to have just been you. To feel me, all of me. Have me pump myself into them. Now get up and follow me, quietly."<br /> I flinched expecting him to hit me, but the blow never came. I looked up and he had turned to walk off. I had stopped crying, I learned at a very young age, how to not show my pain. I had a new problem though. I could not walk, I was barely able to stand. Between being dropped on my tail bone, nearly being split in two as he entered me, and over an hour's worth of relentless pounding, I only managed to hold myself up for a moment. At that moment I felt his warm seed run down my leg before I collapsed on the ground. My whole body shut down in that instance, and I was swallowed into the darkness.<br /> ...<br /> I woke up in a comfortable bed feeling six shades of gross. Every inch of my body hurt. I rolled until I found a bedside table, and feeling a lamp, I turned on the light. I was in a beautiful room with a large bed, an even larger TV, and a few dressers and stands. The room was all different shades of blues and greys. I liked it. I felt horrible, and I knew that there was no way I was going to be able to walk to the bathroom, so I rolled, scooted, and crawled my way in there.<br /> I managed to turn on the light and wished I hadn't. My bottom half had a trail that went from in between my leg and ran till it reached my ankles. The trail was a mixture of blood and semen. The white dress that I was wearing has patched with blood, dirt, and puke.<br /> The pain was starting to ease off since I have accelerated healing as a wolf, but my wolf had been quiet since we meet our mate. I know that, like me, that was not how she wanted to become a woman, and that is not how we wanted to be treated by our mate. Still, I see this as an opportunity, I don't think I will see Alpha Devon for a while, so maybe for the first time I can remember, I can fully heal. Physically that is, emotionally I don't think I will ever be right. I can handle that though. I was already damaged before I got here.<br /> I scrubbed the remnants of mating off of my body, I watched as blood washed down the drain. I was sitting on the shower floor since I still could not bear to stand. The warm water smarted my lady parts, but it did truly did seem as all should be healed within a few days.<br /> ...<br /> I grabbed my breakfast and started eating while I watched a rerun of Big Bang Theory. I got about halfway through my breakfast and had to run to the bathroom to get sick. I threw out most of the breakfast and choose to nibble on the toast and drink the water for now. Once I finished that, I switched to the yoga channel and started to stretch and bend. As I was switching from one position to another, I caught my big toe on the bed and put a huge gash in it. I hobbled into the bathroom and pulled out the first aid kit. I pulled out two of the biggest band-aids that were in there plus an wipe. I cleaned my toe and wrapped it in the band-aids. As I was closing up the kit, I picked up the little box of tampons and looked up at the wall where I marked off the number of days that I have been here.<br /> I realized that I had been here for 37 days and have yet to need this box. Maybe it was due to stress that I had skipped this month, I tried to lie to myself. I knew better, even when I had been beaten within an inch of my life, I was still 28 days regular. I should have gotten it about a week after I had gotten here, and I would be due for my second one about now.<br /> I placed my right hand on my stomach, trying to get a sense of if there is something in there. I pulled my shirt up and stared into the mirror. I noticed that I was shaped differently now than before, and it wasn't just from my daily yoga routine. My boobs looked fuller than they should be, and when I turn to the side, my stomach which should be flat has a small but prominent bump in between my hip bones. When did this happen? How..... well I know-how. I start to hyperventilate.<br /> What am I suppose to do? My mate doesn't want me, and from his conversation with his Beta, he doesn't want any pups either. Will, he hurt them. Will, he hurt me to hurt them. I sit and cry. There's nothing else I can do. While I cry, I decide that I will hide the pregnancy. I want my pup, even if the Alpha doesn't. I have nothing to wear but oversized shirts anyway. Kelly is my only visitor, and we barely make eye contact, so I don't think she will notice.<br /> I feel like a stray dog that wandered in pregnant and will be kicked out when my new owner finds out. My wolf is going crazy now with the idea of having a pup. She has been pretty quiet due to being caged. She's excited to have her mate's heir.<br /> "Bella, our mate doesn't want us. So why are you excited to have his pup." I ask my wolf.<br /> "It's our mate's pup!" That is all she can come up with. As if that answers everything.<br /> Maybe our mate will let us keep our pup, in here. Another prisoner of war just like me. Give me the supplies to keep him or her alive. Just like he does for me. I am definitely going to have to hide this. After staring at my body for a while longer, I pulled my shirt back on. After what I'm guessing was morning sickness, busting open my toe and realizing I was pregnant. I decided that today was the perfect day to stay in bed.<br /> Since I'm a wolf, my term of pregnancy will be about twenty-five weeks. So I'm about five weeks now, which leaves me with another twenty weeks to go. While I was still in school, I was in training to be a nurse. When you have to perform first aid on yourself nearly every day, it sounded like a good life choice. I had helped deliver seven pups while helping at the Pack Clinic, so I already had a very good idea of what I was going to need for the birth. Since it is a self-birth, that I plan on doing by myself, my best option would be in the shower. It will be easy to get into. There are extra blankets and pillows that I can lay down on the floor. There are sturdy handholds on the wall, that I can grip onto. Along with a ready supply of water to clean things up. I need tocome up with something to cut the umbilical cord with, but I have plenty of time for that.<br /> Once I found out I was pregnant, time flew by. I wasn't as depressed as I was before. I had something to live for. My stomach is growing at an alarming rate because I feel as if I'm as big as a house. I have continued to keep myself healthy by doing prego yoga, so most of my baby weight is in my boobs and belly. I have noticed though that my hips seem a little wider and my bottom is filling out a little more. I have about a week left until I should be due. Kelly is an idiot because she has no clue what is happening in here.<br /> I've been having random contractions over the last week know as Braxton Hicks. As I stood up to start my daily routine. I felt an immense sense of pressure in my stomach, followed by a washing wave of relief. Then I felt the wetness that now covered the floor. Well, that just happened. With my water breaking a week early I was a little nervous. I had come up with a plan for cutting the cord so I had to do that now before I was in too much pain.<br /> I was hit by a contraction at that moment and leaned on the bed for support. I rode it out and started to count the time in between. I moved into the bathroom being careful not to slip in my broken water. I took my t-shirt off and hung it over the mirror. I punched the mirror as hard as I can and removed a large piece to use as a makeshift knife. I pulled out the first aid kit, and cleaned up the edges of the mirror with an wipe, and smeared Neosporin on the edges just for good measure. I pulled out my supplies from under the bathroom counter.<br /> I was just about to put everything into the shower when I noticed the time. Kelly would be arriving any minute. I could set a watch off of her punctuality. I turned on the shower hoping that she would think I overslept and was just not out yet. From where the door is she shouldn't see the puddle I left. A moment after she opened the bedroom door I turned off the shower, so again she would think I was just running a little behind.<br /> "Breakfast and fresh towels are here," Kelly yelled.<br /> I opened the door just enough to stick my head out and yell "Ok great" in a sarcastic tone.<br /> I heard Kelly close and lock the door again and I continued setting up for the birth. I place the blankets and pillows in the small shower, pulled out some water bottles, and was hit by another contraction. So that was about 10 min apart. I sat down in my makeshift birth room. I did some stretches that are supposed to speed along the process of labor while I wait, counted time, and continued to contract. It took hours before I was contracting every few minutes.

Therefore we did nothing with the backyard for 4 years. <br /> <br /> But we fell in love with the neighborhood and finally decided we weren’t going anywhere. That meant we needed a backyard that fit the needs of our growing family. <br /> <br /> We love to gather. We love to host friends. We love to grow a garden and BBQ with our kids. <br /> <br /> So we created a vision of what we wanted to have happen. I was pessimistic that it wouldn’t really come to fruition because of the costs it would incur. But once I started realizing we could do most of it ourselves and spend a FRACTION of the cost, our projects took off. <br /> <br /> Now, 6 years later, we have the backyard we always wanted!This is where we gather our family and host our friends. It’s our safe space and our memory maker.
