This is gonna be my first werewolf high school book and I am sure it would be so good ^_^. So lovelies, gather your popcorn cos you're gonna enjoy the beautiful ride.

Layla POV

"What the hell Vernon! What's wrong with you!!" I screamed out loud at the top of my voice.I really don't know what's wrong with my brother this morning!

He knows I'm to be in school by this time or should I say preparing for school?

Whichever! I'm currently standing before the door of the bathroom with my purple body towel hung around my neck.

I looked down at my purple crocs and could see my feet were still tapping the floor."Damn! Vernon this isn't funny!!" I yelled out as I banged my hand hard on the door."Could you please be quiet!!" I could hear him say from the bathroom.

"Quiet? Is that what you said huh? Don't be dumb!!" I yelled."Dad can you hear what Layla is saying? She has forgotten I'm her older brother" he yelled out making me more mad.Yes, he is my older brother and who cares!

Not that I am disrespectful but at this point, I think I am."Layla what is going on here?" My dad asked, finally walking into the scene.

I exhaled heavily and placed my hands on my waist standing in akimbo."Dad what's wrong with Vernon?, He's been in the bathroom for over 30 minutes but still no sound of water at all" I groaned out frustrated.My dad looked at me with this pitiful look on his face.

I squeezed my face immediately seeing his facial expression."Vernon don't be silly! You know Layla has to be in school before now" my dad said to him with this thick voice of his."Dad!" That was the only reply Vernon could give at the moment.

I rolled my eyes wishing I could break the door and strangle him.Fvck..

I wouldn't do so, I still need that brat."Why are you like this! It's my first day for heavens sake Vernon!" I yelled out banging the door again."Just hold on, a little more minute and I'll be done okay!?" He replied sounding frustrated too. It's gonna be my first day at West bridge university, damn.

I am pretty nervous about it, I mean, West bridge university is always my dream university.

It's not just so popular, there are beautiful and talented teachers there.

I've read a lot about the university, and with the one I know, the university is ranked top 2 In the city of Houston Texas.

And it's an international university for crying out loud >.<.I've been making research on the school, saw a lot of photos of it.

And I still can't believe today, I would be going there.I mean, West bridge university is just so good, I know every parents wants their kids there. Why not? I heard there are hotties there and pretty girls too, it's a school for elites but still I count myself worthy and lucky to be among the students attending West bridge university.After I went through the school fees, I found out it was damn expensive and my father won't be able to afford it, not even if he sells our house and his car, his monthly income isn't even quarter of it.But then, I applied for a scholarship, wrote some exams and passed.

The best part of it was I got a fully funded scholarship and my resumption is today!!

But here I am, standing by the door waiting for my stupid ass brother to finish with whatever he is doing in there and get his stupid ass out."For goodness sake Vernon!, It's my first day, and it matters!" I yelled tiredly as I slapped my forehead hoping he would listen, be human, and step out."Layla, don't you know the meaning of hold on anymore??" He replied instead."That's it!, I'm breaking this door, I really don't know what you're doing in there!" i yelled out and grabbed the door handle.

Turning the hand, I kicked the door open and gasped at what I saw.Firstly, I never expected the door to be opened.

"What the! You didn't even lock the doors??" I yelled out immediately and stared at my brother seating on the toilet with tissue papers in his hands.I looked down to the floor and saw it was littered with tissue papers.

"Vernon! Could you explain what the actual fvck is going on here!" My dad demanded.Vernon wiped his eyes with the tissue in his hand and sniffed.

" She left me" he simply replied and cried out.I stared at him like he was a blank sheet of paper."Are you okay at all?" I simply asked him with a frown."Kathy left me Dad!" He cried out.I wore an irritated face on immediately and walked to him grabbing him by his hair.

"So? Your girlfriend broke up with you and that's why you are sitting here in the bathroom for over 30 minutes, littering the floor with tissues? What the hell Vernon!!" I yelled out and pulled him."You must be sick! I told you before now that girl is a tart, but you were so blinded by love and still you kept pushing, just get out of the bathroom and cry elsewhere because I need to use this place now" I said and finally pushed him out of the bathroom" Thanks" I added and slammed the door before his face.What!

Just imagine.. keeping me waiting because you are crying over a girl... I rolled my eyes and immediately, I began taking off my clothes.

"Time to have a beautiful shower" I smiled and walked to my locker.

Took the keys and unlocked it to take out my skin care products, yes I lock them because of my brother.

You won't understand...I really need to look good today, they shouldn't look at me and immediately conclude I am one broke ass girl.I am not though, my dad is hardworking and my brother also is. He's been supporting my dad financially since we lost our mom.

Well, she was actually murdered and since then, my dad had been doing all he could to keep us safe and made sure we lack nothing healthy............... I stepped out of the bathroom after having a long and yet short bathe.

My brother was seated on the couch with his eyes fixed on me.

"What?" I asked totally uncomfortable with the way he was looking at me.If glares could kill, I'm sure I'd be dead by now.He said nothing, I was about making a step further until he eventually spoke up.

"Really? Layla? You really had to do that?" He asked me.

I'm sure he was sure he's referring to what happened in the bathroom.

"What? Don't start now, I have to leave for school" I replied and was about making another step until he suddenly appeared before me.That's it,

Again, he made a swift motion and stood before me standing in akimbo." Vernon! Please!" I cried out opening my hands at him." If not because you're my sister, I would have locked you up in that bathroom" he said and poked my forehead.Vernon is a beta member, well my dad is a delta, and my mom was also a beta.

Yeah my Dad isn't an Alpha, we have our own Alpha, That's Alpha Reagan of Hill pride pack.

I don't know what I am, and honestly I don't worry myself anymore, I was told I would shape shift at the age of 16, here I am..I haven't yet.

My 17th birthday passed and still nothing, I'm just so happy my pack members aren't angry at anything.My father still sees me as his own and everyone else, so I don't have a problem at all with it."You've locked me before, Chicken!" I clicked my tongue and walked past Vernon heading to my room.As soon as I got to my room, I got a phone call from Bailey, my best friend.

"Hey sweetheart are you ready?" Her voice came up happily

"Yeah, just few more minutes, I'd be leaving the house soon" I replied and ended he call.She's been attending West bridge university. Now we are both happy we would attend the same university.Immediately, I got dressed up in my uniform and grabbed my backpack.

"Okay, all done!" I sighed and walked out of my room to see Vernon standing before me again."WHAT NOW?!" I yelled

"You see, that's it..that's what I want to address, learn how to talk before you go there, you might just open your mouth and say what you aren't supposed to say go someone" he sighed

"Thanks, just so you know..I don't talk anyhow"

"You're stubborn and bad mouthed" he stuck out his tongue at me."Dad" I yelled out.

I went to the City Clerk’s office for a routine copy of my marriage license to finalize a trust fund audit. I expected a simple piece of paper, but the clerk’s pitying look told me my entire life was a lie. "The license was never finalized, Ms. Oliver. In the eyes of the state, you are single." The three-hundred-guest wedding at the Plaza and the Vogue features meant nothing. My husband, Gray Cooley, had intentionally filed the documents with a "procedural defect" so he could discard me without a legal divorce. Moments later, an iCloud invite titled "Our Little Secret" popped up on my screen. It was a photo of my best friend, Brylee, holding a positive pregnancy test at our Hamptons estate. Gray’s text to her was the final blow: "Happy anniversary, babe. This baby is the best gift. Once the trust unlocks today, we’re done with the charade." I soon discovered they were even stealing my career, reassigning my architectural masterpiece to Brylee while preparing my eviction notice. Gray's mother called me a "barren mule" in a leaked recording, mocking the infertility I suffered after saving Gray’s life in a construction accident. I wasn't a wife; I was a three-year placeholder used to secure his inheritance. How could the man I bled for treat me like a disposable prop? How could my best friend carry his child while pretending to comfort me through my darkest moments? The betrayal burned until it turned into a cold, hard stone of fury. I didn't cry. Instead, I walked into the penthouse of the Barretts, the Cooleys' most powerful rivals. I signed a marriage contract with Kane Barrett, the man the tabloids called the "Beast of Wall Street." "I want a wedding," I told his father, my voice steady and lethal. "Bigger than the one I had with Gray." If they wanted me gone, they would have to watch me become the woman who owns their world.

I stood in the darkest corner of the Pierre Hotel’s ballroom, my cheap polyester dress itching against my skin while my wristband buzzed with a DARPA Priority Red alert. In front of the city’s elite, my fiancé Bryce Calloway took the stage, not to toast our future, but to publicly end our engagement and announce he was with my sister, Chloe. The room turned on me instantly, a hundred pairs of eyes pinning me down with pity and disgust as they physically backed away like I was contagious. When I returned home, my mother shattered a crystal vase at my feet, screaming that I was a humiliation and a "dropout" who didn't deserve a cent of the family fortune. Chloe and Bryce mocked me, laughing when I told them I had a mission with the National Security Agency, convinced I was either a pathological liar or a low-level criminal. They watched in horror as a black, unmarked military helicopter descended on our backyard to extract me, yet they still chose to believe I was being arrested for drug trafficking. They saw a pathetic girl who couldn't even parallel park, never realizing I was Dr. Nova Vance, the lead physicist behind the world's first successful fusion reactor. To secure funding for my research and gain a "fortress" of a name, I signed a thirty-day marriage contract with the arrogant billionaire Roman Knight. He treats me like a fraud, convinced I’m a gold-digger who failed out of college, while I quietly run global energy simulations from his guest bedroom. He has no idea that the "loser" he’s forced to live with is the same anonymous grandmaster who has been ruthlessly crushing him in online strategy games for months. "The contract is active," I told him, looking past his expensive suit. "But don't expect me to be your maid."

Hayley was betrayed by those who should have loved her most. To save their precious adopted daughter from a punishment she deserved, her own parents sent Hayley straight into a living hell—an infamous prison where survival demanded cruelty, and weakness meant death. Four years later, the girl who had entered those iron gates no longer existed. She emerged with a single, unbreakable rule carved into her soul: Every betrayal would be repaid tenfold. The day she walked free, the world trembled. A convoy of luxury cars lined the road. A legion of loyal followers awaited her triumphant return. Her father tried to buy her silence with money. But money had long lost its power over her. Her adopted sister hid behind sweet words and false kindness. But empty smiles no longer fooled her. Everything that had once been stolen would be reclaimed—piece by piece. When her parents attempted to tie themselves to the city's most feared man by offering their adopted daughter, Hayley's lips curved into a cold smirk. "Not on my watch." Backed by a legendary hacker, shadowy allies, and an entire prison willing to burn the world for her, Hayley dismantled her enemies with terrifying precision. Then the tyrant noticed her. "You're interesting," he said. "Be my woman, and the city is yours." Hayley raised an eyebrow, unimpressed. "You want to own me? Survive me first." High society became their battlefield. Power collided with desire. Ambition clashed with obsession. In this ruthless game of dominance and temptation, only one would kneel first. The girl once abandoned in hell rose from its ashes, crowned by fire and vengeance—And in the end, even the most feared ruler in the city would bow, offering his empire to the woman who had conquered both hell… and him.

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.
