This book hadn't been forgotten, but I was struggling to come up with the ending. I will post the remaining chapters now.
Aryan-“Are you okay?” Kierian was instantly at my side when I reached the basement.I struggled to remain upright, but I could feel my injuries already starting to heal. “I am fine. We need to figure out a different way to take him out. If you hadn’t seen, I couldn’t match his speed. His movements were too fast for me to get a single hit in.”“It might help if you shift into Lycan form.” Kierian suggested.“I tried, but he was relentless in his attacks.” I sagged onto a chair that Slater pushed toward me.“You haven’t been a Lycan for long, so it is understandable if you can’t shift in an instant whenever you want. We worked on things but never practiced shifting when under attack.” Slater stepped beside Kierian as he spoke.“I could shift down here and go up, but there isn’t a large enough passage. Maybe if I come out of hiding but stay distant from him, I could shift before attacking?” I looked between Kierian and Slater.“It could work, but…” Slater began.“You can’t risk exposing
Aryan-Filled with raw and intense power, I could suddenly move again. Without hesitation, I kicked open the locker door. It felt like I was being swarmed with a tornado of wind. My hair blew wildly around me as I rushed toward Charlie.Instead of going straight for him, I moved past him slightly. Charlie’s eyes widened as I grabbed his wrist and twisted. I heard his bone snap as Kierian fell from his grasp. Without pausing, I wrapped my arms around Kierian and moved him to the far end of the hall.It wasn’t until I placed Kierian on the ground that I realized I had shifted into my Lycan form without realizing it. Just like the day at the hospital when I saved everyone, I touched my hand to Kierian’s chest to transfer my energy to him. He gasped as his eyes widened, and he jolted upright.Hearing something crackle behind me, I twisted around to see Charlie transforming into a beast I had never seen before. It was like he was part werewolf and something else entirely. His eyes were red
Aryan-“Aryan, get up or you are going to be late!” My Godmother yelled from the other side of my bedroom door. “I am almost done!” I rolled my eyes in amusement. I loved my Godparents, but they were the most disorganized people I knew. When I started living with them after my family died, I had been the one to get them up every morning. Transferring to Grandview Academy wasn’t bad, but as long as I stayed in the background, I could get through my senior year with ease. The only reason I attended such a prestigious school was because my Godparents were on the faculty. I was on a scholarship, which was bad enough, not to add the fact that I was the daughter of one of the most feared Alphas in history, who couldn’t shift. Being around kids that came from large packs and their parents were amongst the top ranks, would make me a target of their bullying. Last year, shortly after I transferred during my junior year, I witnessed a kid being made fun of. That kid had run out of school cr
Aryan-“It was my fault. I should be the one to apologize.” I lowered my gaze to the floor.Since arriving at this school, he has been the main one I have tried to avoid. I hoped that he wouldn’t recognize me. I also didn’t want him to notice that I had a crush on him. As the most popular senior in school, I would certainly turn into a laughingstock when others realized I liked him.We had been best friends in elementary school, but then we went our separate ways in middle school. The Alpha King had sent him abroad to study and I left my private school and moved to Florida, where I started public school. Saying goodbye to him had been the most devastating event in my youth, aside from losing my family.“No matter whose fault it is, just be careful in the future. I need to get to class, but I will see you later, Aryan.” Kierian patted my shoulder lightly before walking past me.Lifting my head, I turned to look at his back as he walked away. That was the first time we have talked since
Aryan-“Whoa kiddo, what is the rush?” Mr. Slater asked after I entered the gym and quickly locked the door behind me.“I ran into Kierian in the hall.” I admitted since he already knew more than anyone else about my situation, including that I have had a crush on Kierian since we were kids.“Although I have no problem keeping your secret, I really don’t understand why you insist on hiding from that boy. He is a good kid, and I am sure he would understand if you explained things to him.”I knew what he said was true, but that only made it that more difficult. My life was never going to be easy, and Kierian was the last one I wanted to drag into it. His future was to be the next Alpha King, not face a future of uncertainty with me.Even if I did manage to reclaim my family legacy, it was going to be a long and difficult road. I might not know the Kierian who was now eighteen, but I knew the child he had once been. I never wanted to have the memory of him tarnished.“I can’t bring him i
Aryan-“You are a lifesaver!” I rushed forward, once I met Dirk by my car, to throw my arms around him, in a tight hug.“It isn’t that serious. The damage wasn’t that bad. It was done an hour ago. I just figured I would use the car as an excuse to have lunch with you.” Dirk chuckled.Stepping back, I didn’t bother correcting him. He knew pretty much everything about me, but he didn’t know about Kierian. Although humans weren’t supposed to know about werewolves, sometimes it was inevitable. He happened to show up at my house freshman year and discovered it by accident.It wasn’t just him, it was our mutual friend Lilly Montrose, who also knew about it. At first, they had been stunned, but they never looked at me any differently than before. If anything, it only made us grow closer.“Well, I still can’t repay you enough.” I playfully smacked his arm.“As long as you have lunch with me, that is agreement enough.” Dirk turned slightly and grabbed a brown paper bag off the top of my car.“
Aryan-Over the next few days, I kept my head low and was extra careful to avoid everyone. Not that I was able to get away from Brianna. She played dirty tricks on me, like putting fish in my locker, placing thumbtacks on my seat, sticking gum all over my desk, and a few other things.They were mostly childish things, but they were annoying. If that were the best she could do, I didn’t see a reason to make a big deal out of it. I just paid closer attention to things and stopped putting things in my locker. Anything important that I couldn’t carry around, I put in my locker in the gym.Thankfully, Kierian stopped attempting to talk to me, and even Liam left me alone. Neither of them attempted to convince me to eat lunch with them. For the most part, they ignored me. Except I did see Liam cleaning gum off my desk once. There was a time when Kierian had been standing next to my locker while the janitor cleaned the fish out of my locker on the third day.I wished they would just ignore me
Aryan-To my relief, Kierian returned to his seat, leaving me alone. I wasn’t sure how to feel about him kissing me, but I didn’t have much time to worry about that. The game continued, but I excused myself. Walking away, I found myself getting more alcohol, without paying much attention.I refilled my cup a few times before the effects of the booze hit me enough to relax again. When I returned to the party, the game had gotten out of hand and instead of going in a circle, it was completely random. A few people began to leave the party, as they were being carted away by their friends that hadn’t been drinking.Dirk was completely drunk, but Lilly stopped drinking when she noticed that Dirk wouldn’t be able to drive home. Since they came together, I didn’t need to worry about how either of them was going to get home. I also didn’t bother to care how I was going to get home, because I could always call my godparents.It wasn’t like they didn’t know that I had a few drinks with my friend
