The following morning I finally got up and I got changed into a jumper, tights, socks and sand
shoes.
I left the house and I set out along a trail that I hadn’t been along before and I was taking note of all the landmarks and everything that made that trail stick out from the others.
I didn’t get much sleep at all that day so I wasn’t walking very fast and I was really exhausted and trying to get through this hiking trail before school, but that didn’t happen. I stopped and sat down on a log that was by the trail for a few minutes and just enjoyed being in the forest
for a moment.
I had to turn back and go home where I had a shower and got dressed for school. I sat on the bed and I grabbed my bag where I injected that liquified wolfsbane between my toes again. I could feel the last injection starting to wear off. It had lasted longer than the last time, so it
must be a stronger dosage. But they have to be careful of that. If they make it too strong then
the werewolves will be able to smell the wolfsbane on it. And I wasn’t sure how I was going to
explain that to them. I would have to play ignorant and let them know that I don’t know what
the hell they are talking about.
I grabbed my bag and I went downstairs where Evelyn was in the kitchen making a coffee.
I just ignored her and left the house and I walked into the woods and headed straight to
school.
I got there just before the bell went off and Lexie was waiting for me out the front.
“Hey. I was starting to think you weren’t coming today.” She said.
“Yeah. Tough morning.” I said.
“I can see that. You look exhausted and what the hell happened to your face?” She asked,
moving my head to the side to see the clear bandage covering the stitches on my cheek.
“I slipped in the bathroom and broke the window. It was stupid.” I said.
But just as I was lying to Lexie I saw the triplets walking up to me. I could hear them as well. They were thinking what a good liar I was. But I had a lot of practice.
“Hi guys.” Lexie said.
“Hi.” Koda said. But they were all staring at me. I didn’t say anything to them and I just shook
my head and walked inside.

CHAPTER 12
I went to my locker and I grabbed the books that I needed and I headed to my first class.
I wasn’t lucky enough for them to find somewhere else to sit. They sat around me as they usually do and Lexie sat next to me. But Dean reached back and threw a note on my desk.
DEAN – Did your mother do that?
ME- Mind your own f*****g business.
DEAN – I wish I could. You are my business now.
ME–What the f**k does that mean?
DEAN – You’ll find out soon enough. If your mother touches you again, we’re gonna kill her.
I looked up at Dean and he wasn’t looking back at me but I knew that they meant it. I was their
mate and they were going to do whatever they could to protect me. They just believed that I
am a human so I don’t feel the pull towards them. It’s rare but not uncommon for werewolves
to be mated to a human. We don’t know why the Moon Goddess does it, but she manages to.
I knew that this was going to end badly.
How the hell was I going to keep them away from Evelyn and Henry? They weren’t the ones
that we needed to worry about. It was my human mother and human stepfather who knew
nothing of the supernatural. They believe that I am a human as well.
I saw that Izzy arrived at school pretty late that morning but she didn’t sit next to the triplets.
She sat on the other side of the room and she didn’t even look over this way for some reason.
I could hear Lexie talking to the triplets about her and the guys were telling Lexie about Izzy
and her parents coming to their house last night to complain about me. About how I was
standing my ground and standing up to Izzy, which she hated.
I already knew that cause the guys told me when they were at my house last night.
I knew that I was too exhausted to last the whole day at school so I by lunch time I asked
Lexie if she could cover for me. I told her that I wanted to go home and get some sleep while
there was no one there.
Lexie said that it was fine and I managed to sneak out without the triplets seeing me and she
was going to cover for me with them. They were the ones that I didn’t want to follow me.
Especially since I had decided not to go home.
I left school and I started walking in the other direction to home.
I cut through the woods and when I looked around and saw that there was no one hanging around in the woods, I started running. Faster than a human is able to run.

CHAPTER 12
I got to their little community in no time and I found the biggest house, perched on the hill and
I walked to the front door and rang the bell.
I stood back and looked at the massive three story house and there was no mistaking that it
was a packhouse.
“What are you doing?” A woman’s voice appeared in my head.
“Don’t worry about it.” I said.
“Nova. This wasn’t discussed with us.” She said.
“Daisy. You sent me here. So let me do it my way. Get out of my head.” I ordered, pushing her
out of my head.
A man in his 40’s answered it, but he froze as soon as he saw me.
“Hello Alpha Greyson. I’m Nova.” I said. But he dropped the book that he was holding. “I’m guessing that you know who I am.” I added.
“The boys told me that you were human.” He said.
“That’s because they think that I am. And I think we need to talk.” I said.
He nodded his head and he opened the door wider so I could go inside.
