Chapter 32
Facade
The days went by, and soon, my heat’ period went away…for the moment, that is. Reagan had told me I
will soon experience it again, while we’re still not marked and mated.
I can feel my wolf’s strength increase every day as she continues to go through the phase of turning to a
Lycan. Sometimes, it’s hard to
control her, but I’ve been having a lot of practice
with Reagan and sometimes Lexi. I just have to
learn to keep calm always even when I’m angry.
It’s easier said than done, though.
I feel pretty bad for ruining our dinner date,
so I’m looking for a way to make it up to
Reagan. We’ve been getting closer by the day, learning new things about each other as we try
to open up to one another. And sometimes,
when I’m horny during my ‘heat’ period, he
helps me out. But we never went all the way, we
only stopped before it went too far.
Personally, I would love for him to mark
and im me, but it just doesn’t feel like the right time. My wolf’s still going through this
phase, and I want to get to know him better before Ipletely give myself to him. It’s hard to control
myself, but I always find a way.
I’m learning to trust Reagan, and he, in
turn, is learning to be a bit less controlling. I
made him promise to always consult me before
taking any actions concerning me. As for my college, I’ve epted to have it online, reluctantly, though.
He was right. He won’t be in
Los Angeles for long once he’s done with his
ongoing case. And the thought of having to
separate from him doesn’t sit well with me. So
just to be with him, I’m ready to do anything.
And then there’s Lana. She keeps getting
paler every day, and when I ask what’s wrong,
she just shrugs it off, iming she is fine. But 1
can see that being away from her mate is weakening both her and her wolf. I tried talking her into going
back to Red Moon, but she doesn’t listen. She’s so stubborn at times, it’s

frustrating. I wish there was something I could
do to cheer her up. If she remains like this, she
won’t do well in her finals.
Thaven’t even seen any recent photo of her
partying or having any sort of fun. The Lanal
knew always made time to go out with friends,
either to a club, the beach or a concert.
She’s sitting opposite me in the dining room now. Her eyes are zed over like she’s deep in thoughts,
and I don’t think she’s listening to me as I talk to her. She keeps
sighing, and it breaks my heart to see her like
this.
“Hey,dies.” J strolls in, shing her
pearly white teeth in a smile at us. We only
grumbled a ‘hey’ back at her before ignoring her. Just like me, Lana didn’t like J too well. ording
to her, something about J seems off.
I’ve been able to avoid J all this while
by speaking less to her and quickly leaving the
room when she walks in. This way, I would see
her less, and my wolf wouldn’t go berserk once
more.
J stays in a guest bedroom that is
luckily far from Reagan’s and mine. She still has that innocent facade she always has on and keeps
trying to get close to me. It’s irritating as well as tiring. I have to act nice to her like I don’t always imagine
choking her in my head. I just wish I could p the lie out of her face.
“What are you girls doing?” J walks over to us after taking a bottle of water from the
fridge. Lana and I have couple of handouts and
notes sprawled on the table. It was pretty
obvious we are studying, but she still decided to
ask, irritating me further. I was helping Lana study since she wasn’t looking so good and probably can’t
focus right.
“We’re studying, J…obviously,” ||
mumble thest part, but I’m pretty darn sure she heard. She smiles before taking a seat beside me and
pulling it closer. Seriously, what’s her problem? Why can’t she just leave me the
f**k alone? Can’t she see I hate her guts?
J might look and act sweet, but
sometimes, I catch her off guard. Reagan hasn’t
been around much because of the situation
with she-wolves being abducted, but whenever
he was, we would try to spend all that time
together. I had noticed J sometimes joins
our conversation without being invited, and
whenever she catches him alone, she always
tries to put her hands all over him even though
he always warns her not to. I’m quick to catch
her, only for her to make up someme excuse.
If her n was to lure my mate back into
her clutches, she should be ready to fail hard.
Reagan clearly isn’t interested in her since all
his attention is always on me.
“What course are you both working on?”
J asks once more.
I sigh, exasperated. “Biology.” I briefly answer, hoping she would go away.
“Sounds fun. Can I join.”
nowhere to go. Since I’ve stopped going to college, I’ve just been sitting idle at home. I can only go out to
shop, and that’s it. There’s nowhere else for me to go. I’m thinking about visiting my parents tomorrow.
It’s been a while since Ist saw them.
Maybe I should talk to Reagan about myck of routine. I could follow him instead and
help in solving the case he’s working on. At least that way I’ll be useful.
“Your friend seems sad. Is she alright?” Oh
yeah, and I hate being home alone with this
bitch.
I gruffly answer, “She’s fine,” before going over to the fridge and bringing out cooking ingredients. I will be
making a meal for Reagan while Joanna makes for the rest. She hasn’te in yet, though.
I wanted to do something nice for Reagan. A way to rectify ourst date.
“Are you cooking something?” J asks,
and I swear I’m about to lose my patience with
been suspecting her all this while after all.
“So I was right,” I state. “You are still in love with Reagan and hate me because I have him.”
She scoffs before standing up to her feet. “Of course, I hate you. I mean, what did you think?” She
arches a perfect eyebrow at me. “Reagan’s a Prince, and this makes his mate
automatically a princess, making her the sixth

most powerful person in the beast kingdom and third most powerful female. And you think I’m
going to just throw that away and leave it for a
measly little wolf like you? You don’t even
deserve him.” For the first time, I’m seeing her
true, ugly colors.
“And you do?” I question with my eyebrows raised. “Listen to yourself. You don’t even want him because
you love him, but because of the
power and status that he’ll bring to you. And that makes you a disgusting whore.” I eye her in spite. She
suddenly begins to cackle like some old witch.
“Oh, Ells. Of course I like him. And I’m going to rip him away from you bit by bit in the most painful way
ever.” She deres with a smug grin
evident on her face. I glower at her in anger before a smug smile of my ownes on.
“Dream on, b***h. I’m his mate, and nothing can tear us apart.” I state, walking up to her, so I’m looking
directly into her eyes. We’re almost the same height, but she’s a bit taller by
a few inches.
I feel it then, her aura bursting out of her
and forcing me to submit. She’s a Lycan, and I’m still a werewolf in the process of turning. I try to fight it,
but soon, I look away in defeat with my fists clenched by my sides. I can’t believe I lost to her. My wolf is
growling in my head, and I can feel her ready toe out and teach this b***h a lesson. But I subdue her
with happy thoughts of Reagan and me together.
I stare back up to see the smug grin on
J’s face. “We’ll see about that.” She says
before spinning on her heels and striding out
