The next morning as 1 prepared for school. I stared at my reflection. Why do I look so different?

My skin is looking creamier, and softer? My facial features are look sharper; my nose, my cheek bones, even my lips look fuller and redder.

My light hazel eyes seem brighter. The green, and the gold at the centers and the bluish grey around the rims were more bold. My eyebrows and eyelashes were thicker and longer too. My hair seemed curlier and shinier.

My body is curvier as well. Not too much of a difference, but when I pull the jeans or the skirt up over my bottom, I could feel it. Everywhere is spilling over.

There’s now a cleavage above the neckline of my tank top. What is happening to me?

Maybe I shouldn’t complain, these are what other werewolves dream of and I’m having them in abundance. But why?

I sighed and threw mg hairbrush back on the dresser. My life is in chaos, and I am getting more beautiful.

I stared at my reflection in the mirror, smiling a little. I know Eros dropped by last night. His scent still lingers in the air but I wish I wasn’t such a heavy sleeper.

I missed him.

The need to be with him then spurred me to dress faster for school. Today I didn’t put on any make–up, not even lip gloss. Nova and Alice came in Nova’s car to pick

pick me

to me. Olivia and I climbed into the passenger seat with a “thank you

“You look a bit different, did you do something with your make–up today?” Nova asked immediately.

“That was what I said yesterday!” Alice exclaimed “You even look better today,” she stated, glancing at me through the rear

mirror.

Whoops. So, it wasn’t just me imagining stuff then.

“Whatever it is, girlfriend. You look hot,” Nova said with a giggle I knew she was genuinely happy for me.

Olivia rolled her eyes. “She probably just gained weight!”

“Hey! Don’t say that I protested at my annoying little sister.

The ride doesn’t last five minutes before we got to school. I smoothened my denim skirts over my boots and followed my friends.

I could feel the attention we were getting as soon as we left the car park. There were a few whistles from the boys, while the girls glared at us.

I shook my head, now tired of the attention. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

They should just leave us alone.. that was when I felt his presence. My senses automatically angled towards his direction. His eyes was me even before I saw him.

Alice nudged me so hard, that I think she might have broken a rib.

“That’s him! That’s him” she whispered excitedly.

Tue, Oc

Eros was standing with three other Hybrids at the bottom of the steps leading up to the school entrance.

This time I was pretty sure they were not looking at anything behind us. Eros looked so incredibly hot today in his big shirt, black baggy trousers, and sneakers.

I still can’t believe that this gorgeous creature is mine. That he was standing there waiting for me.

I looked up and smiled. His eyes lighted up. Then all I saw was him. My heart raced up and I hastened my steps towards him.

“Eros.” I whispered a few feet from him.

He didn’t hesitate to close the gap between us. He stretched his arms, and pulled me right into his warmth. His lips and nose found my neck, nuzzling me there, Jolts of tingles shot through me and I tightened my arms around him to stay upright.

“What are you wearing, Butter? I thought we’ve established that you’re not going to wear anything too revealing, and skirts

are too short.” he whispered into my ear

that

I didn’t try to dress slutty or anything, but with my new curves, everything seemed to fit sinfully in certain places.

“We did?” I purred

“Yes, we did. Those male werewolves are staring at you. They’re looking at what’s mine. I just want to rip their heads off,” he growled

“But I wore this for you,” I blurted out softly. My face turned bright red as soon as I realize what I just said, but Eros stopped scowling.

The anger in his eyes was replaced with adoration as he stared at me. A slow saxy smile rested on his lips.

Wow. I guess that was the right thing to say to cool him off.

“Did you now?” There was a mischievous gleam in his sapphire cyes. “Td much prefer you in nothing at all,” he growled wickedly.

He was expecting me to blush and look away in embarrassment. But two can play this game. My cheeks flushed red, but I naughtily smiled back.

“Maybe I would show up in nothing at all to school tomorrow.”

He growled deeply in his throat, the delicious sound sent shivers down my spine.

“Don’t test me, my love,” he muttered. “If you want the school to be still standing tomorrow, I suggest you’d better not” His teeth pipped at my earlobe gently.

I moaned, and forced myself to pull back. My legs were turning jelly…

It was when I turned that I realized that everybody had been staring. They were all frozen in their spots. Even Alice, and Penny stared with their mouths open.

Whoops, I guess this was not the way to stay out of spotlight.

I was in Calculus class again with Nova. The Hybrids had walked us to our classroom, and so far Nova hadn’t stopped talking about what happened between me and Eros yet.

“Oh my gosh! 1 knew you said you’re with him, but I have never seen a Hybrid like that with anyone,” she squealed. Event Nova is becoming a girly–girly werewolf

I chuckled quietly and she continued “Wowww! And I must say, girl. You two look so cute together. Anyone could see that

he is sooo into you,” she whispered dreamily. “I think you two make a beautiful couple.”

My cheeks turned crimson red again. I couldn’t believe how everybody was staring at us. I guess nobody had seen a thing like that, especially in

Mystic fangs and claws Academy.

The Hybrids never spoke to anybody outside their little circle, let alone show any emotions.

The teacher had been in the classroom for over ten minutes when the door opened with a bang and Alpha Theo and Chris walked in.

Alpha Theo was looking furious, and staring at me the whole time.

I inwardly groaned. It’s been almost 20 minutes since he entered the classroom, and he is still facing backwards, and boldly glaring at me. I ignored him the whole time or at least I tried to

I pretended that he was staring at something behind me, and so stared straight ahead, pretending to be engrossed with the teacher’s lesson.

Isn’t the teacher going to do anything at all? I know he’s now the Alpha, and all that. He could even choose to stop coming to school or not, but this is ridiculous.

I glanced at Nova who pressed her lips tightly. She didn’t like Theo, but he was still her Alpha.

She listened interestingly at the lesson. Never have I seen her so interested in Calculus before.

We seemed to be the focus of the whole class, even though everybody was pretending to be looking at something else. Coward: Well so am I. I just couldn’t wait for the class to end.

What a jerk. Why was he doing this to me? He really should leave me alone.

Sometimes I still feel him in the evening when he’s mating something, possibly Lyra. But the pain isn’t as intense anymore. I don’t know if it’s because my bond with Eros is getting stronger or because mine and Theo’s mate bond is getting weaker. I quickly gathered my books into my school bag even before the bell rang, I just couldn’t wait to leave the classroom. However, Theo had another thing in mind. As soon as the bell ring, his hand wrapped around my upper arm. “Just where do you think you’re running to, mate?!”

He pulled me out into the hallway with him, and pushed me up against the wall. His whole body pinning me to the wall. I gritted, “I am not your mate. You rejected me, remember? We’re nothing!”

“Well, I changed my mind. Didn’t your mom tell you that? And what’s this I hear about you and a Hybrid his grip tightened

on my arms.

His other hand gripped my hair and pulled my head to the side, baring my neck to film…
