A rumour is a statement or claim that spreads from mouth to mouth. Sometimes, it is false, and another time, it turns out to be true. To be the most real thing.
I scoffed at his messages
Drake Hemsford was known to be an addict to drugs.
Yeah.
I know it sounds surprising but I don't know how true it was. So many dark secrets around him and for now, I am not ready to know them. I am not ready to be part of his life but why did I even tell the moon goddess to create the mate bond between us? Why? Why do I have to do that?
Why?
I nodded my head negatively and went straight to the foyer. I didn't see my mother or father around. Just then a lady walked up to me. She was dressed in a uniform.
"Ma'am."
"I have prepared your lunch."
I smiled. "Oh, thank you," I muttered.
I looked around. "Where is my mother?" I asked.
"She went to the office and she will be back later by eight in the night."
I pulled a nervous smile. What? Office? Then, my mom doesn't even have a shop or a job. Once again, I am grateful. I went straight to my room and pulled off my clothes. I was careful to step on the tiled, wet floor so as not to slip.
I don't want to end up like before. I turned on the shower and took a fresh bath. I glanced at the mirror and I suddenly imagined myself with Drake. I quickly turned off the shower. What the freak? What did I just imagine? No, no way. I can't be in the shower with him.
I thought of the date.
Go on a date. His voice came into my head.
I was just imagining things.
Then Sabrina's voice came through.
"Sabrina," I called.
"Hey, there."
"You are going on a date with him right?"
"No, I am not."
"What? Why won't you go on a date with him?"
"Because I don't want to."
"He is your mate, Iris."
"I know that but I am just not ready," I told her.
"Really? Don't wait till we get into heat and you won't be able to control it. And you know that, even though you didn't ask the moon goddess to create a mate bond between you two, she would still have created it. She would have done it. Don't wait until she takes action."
"I don't want it yet."
"Stop being stubborn. The more you meet him, the more the bond between you two is getting stronger. When it gets to the extreme, you won't be able to control yourself." She said but then I had no choice but to cut the connection between us. I want her to stop talking.
I wrapped a towel around my body and went straight to the room. I found the night robe in the corner of my closet. There were different colours and I decided to put on the black one.
Putting on the black one, I realized that it left my body exposed. It wasn't really that exposed but my big boobs and my wide hips made the gown jump up. I removed it and checked for another one.
This time I saw a white one.
I put it on and it felt comfortable.
My phone vibrated and I didn't bother checking it at all.
I just want to sleep but when the phone won't stop ringing, I picked it up and sat up and different messages from him. Drake.
I groaned and ran my fingers through my hair.
Just then his call came in. I ignored it. He called again and again. I was about to receive it when I remembered what Sabrina said. I don't want the bond between us to get stronger. He is a drug addict. What if he is a bad person?
I switched off my phone and I remembered that I will be going on a date with Desmond. I will go.
And my going there doesn't mean I won't start my revenge on him. I will mess with his head, his brain, his mind, and his heart and tamper with his sanity. I will make him beg for me. I will find out his plans to make Halley his Luna while I am meant to be his Luna.
I slept off.

The sound of the door was what woke me up. It was my dad walking in.
I wiped my face with my palm and sat up.
"Dad," I called.
"Dear, sorry. You are up." He said.
"Your mother just wants me to tell you that dinner is ready."
Wow! Aww...that's so sweet of him.
"Yes, Dad. I will be down in some minutes."
I told him and he nodded. He walked away leaving me to do my thing. I visited the bathroom. I picked up my phone and turned it on and I made my way downstairs. Checking my messages again, and this time he didn't leave any more messages. I only saw Desmond's messages about the date. I will dress my best.
"Mom, "I called.
"Dear."
I asked her how her day was and she said it was okay.
The food was served on the table.
I watched as my mom scooped rice balls into my plate and I ate to my satisfaction.
"I hope you are studying well."
"Yes, mother I am. I am doing my best."
They smiled. Tears welled up in my eyes knowing what they have passed through and seeing me score below average. I just hope my test score comes out good and I will show it to them. There was silence while we ate. This had happened before. This was one of the signs then that they would be dying soon.
I don't want that to happen.
I will figure it out.
"Mother, father, are you okay?" I asked.
They looked up at me.
"Yes, we are. You know, your mother and I are preparing a surprise for you if you pass your tests. I hope you will make us proud." My dad said.
I dropped my fork and pushed my chair back and I got up on my feet. I pulled them into a hug and they embraced me. I can't lose them again. I don't know what I will do if I lose them. I Don't know. I won't be able to bear it at all.

*After dinner, they both went to bed and I went up to my room to dress up. I looked out for a light purple velvet crop top and black, baggy trousers to make my butt comfortable. I don't want guys coming for me. I don't like my hair down. I like it up in a ponytail. I styled the ponytail and cleaned my face. I noticed I have a makeup kit. Woah! I remember Halley had one of these but this even looks more classy and beautiful than hers then. I applied the concealer and mascara. I did my little makeup and I was fine with it. I selected a black designer back to match it. No one can walk all over me like I am nothing. I need to prove myself. I need to make them all pay for what they have done to me. That's it. I will look classy and expensive as long as there is money. The moon goddess had done me a favour and so, I need to make use of it. Humble, fierce, stylish, Savage, truthful, and fashionable would be those words that would describe me from now on. I will act normal. I brought
Ana refused and ran out."Don't run after her. Leave her alone." I said."Oh, you." She acknowledged and sniffed gently. She raised her eyebrows and frowned at me. I know what she is about to say. About to scold me for smoking again."You did it again!" She said.I got up. "Come back here. You know I don't like you to get in trouble again. Sit down!" She frowned."No, I am not.""You are going to listen to me now. What else do you want me to do? We are just three and Ana? Do you want her to start what you are doing too? Remember this Drake, if you get into trouble I am not going to bail you out of jail. We already have enough money to build up our lives. Dad and Mom put me in care for the two of you. They won't be happy seeing us like this." She said with tears rolling out of her eyes.Okay, this is getting emotional. I can't just allow her to cry because of me. I have been trying to stop my addiction but I can't just stop it. Whoever killed my parents and my little brother, Timothy.
Get your friend close and your enemies closer.Desmond Gilbert is nothing but my enemy now. He has become just a pawn in my game. I will use him, dump him, ruin him, destroy him, and kill him with my bare hands just like the way he did to me. He brought this upon himself. He should have thought twice before choosing Halley over me.I am more beautiful than Halley.I have got the thick, curvy body that every guy wants. My face is perfectly sculpted by my creator. Halley can't even stay up to my level. I am going to kick their asses and mess with their brains till I finally have the real plan of taking them both.I will destroy them and their stupid, little relationship.I swear to the moon goddess.A soft heart won't solve the problem but a heart of stone will give them all a headache. They stepped on the wrong toe and they will be ruined. I will deal with them with everything I have got. With all the powers in me.I gazed at his outfit and rolled my eyes.Why did I even choose him in
"I have had enough, Desmond. You don't love me you are only playing with my feelings." I suddenly said, bursting into tears. I couldn't control the tears. It was fake but remembering what he had done to me in my past life, it brought tears to my eyes."Fine! Fine!" He yelled and that made me flinch but I don't fucking care. I don't give a shit."I feel like you are doing this on purpose." He voiced out.I wiped my tears and smiled."So I am right?" I asked him."What?""You heard me, Desmond. You are cheating. Just don't let me find out who the girl is because when I eventually find out, you will be sorry." I told him and his face fell in shock."I- I am not cheating on you and you know it. You fucking know it.""I thought I would make this night a fun, memorable one by running my tongue around your cock tonight to give you the best orgasm of your life but," I smiled and looked him in the eye."You ruined your chances with me."I walked away but before I get into my car, he knelt in
Fuck it! "Where have you been?" She asked.I scratched my neck. I bite my lips almost drawing out blood. All she could do at that moment was to scan my mode of dressing. She didn't bother saying anything."Huh, I went out with my friends after dinner.""Really?" She asked."Yes, mom. I did. Are you-" I stuttered."Are you mad at me?""No, I am not mad. I am just surprised you went out. You never go out except with your boyfriend whom I know, Desmond, and your best friend, Halley. So who are the friends?"I bite my lips. I have implicated myself. I didn't have many friends either.I sighed. "I am sorry Mom. I went to Desmond's. We went on a date.""You should have said that first. Fine! I am not angry at you anymore. I don't want you to go out at night. It's very dangerous. So dangerous for a girl to go out at night and you don't have your wolf yet. You should-""I have my wolf now but I still find it hard to shift. Her name is Sabrina."Her face lit up and she moved closer to me. "Re
He was being possessive. I could feel it. He won't give up on me easily. I know it. Drake Hemsford isn't someone to back off easily. I know him and I know that he would do everything to make me accept that I am his mate."Where are you taking me? Stop it!" I yelled after him.Halley continued to follow but with just a glare from him, she backed off. He pulled me into a class and made me rest my back on the wall. Then he walked closer to me.Those deep green eyes pierced into mine and I hate it. I can't stop looking at him and then, maintaining eye contact with him won't be able to work. I turned away instantly."You kissed him. You made out with him. No problem. I want you to do whatever you did to him to me. I want it too."I rolled my eyes at him. "You are out of your mind. Let me go." I said but he held me down by placing his hands on both of my shoulders.I can't imagine doing what I did to Desmond last night to him. I can't imagine holding his cock, giving him a head. No way, I c
That was Miss Grace's reply. Christy took the result immediately and went back to her seat not without throwing me a death glare though. But who cares? She deserved what she got. "Drake Hemsford, one hundred per cent." My name would properly be the second. "Iris Williams who got ninety-eight per cent." The whole class went silent again. They never saw this coming. I stood up and went to the teacher to collect what was rightfully mine. I almost bumped into Drake while going back to my seat. He stared at me and I know what that meant. He will stop at nothing until he gets me. He walked past me with his hands in his pocket. Kyle glared at me and even Halley was surprised. Halley got sixty-seven per cent. This is a new start for me. A new one. I can't wait to tell my parents. They will be so happy to hear it. After the distribution of the results, she left us and the next teacher came in. Throughout the class, I couldn't help but concentrate on whatever we were taught. I needed to
The blonde girl waved at me. "Yes, I am Kathryn. I am Judith's friend."She smiled and stretched out her hand for a handshake. I shake hands with her and we began to eat together. Soon, we started talking and she told me about herself. Including Judith too. I like their vibes and I found out that Kathryn's parents are working at an oil and gas company. Her father precisely while her mother owns a mall.The popular mall that everyone shops in.I noticed that Judith didn't talk about herself. It was then I saw the scar on her wrist. It was a bit stretched and it scared me. Did she get into an accident? I didn't know why but I suddenly became concerned about her. Then I grabbed her wrist and exposed the part by folding the sweater away."What's wrong? It's a bit stretched."When she noticed that I was talking about her wrist to her arm, she yanked her arms away from me. I apologized immediately thinking I had hurt her. Judith and Kathryn both looked at each other. It was like Kathryn wa
