"Lemieux!"

I inwardly groaned at the piercing and booming voices of Kylie Ambrose and Crystal Lincoln, both girls glaring me down and dressed to kill as I limped out of my morning midterms. "What now?" I asked, turning to face the irate girls as I noticed that they looked as if they didn't get any sleep. "And what the hell-"

"Don't try to pull the 'concerned future Luna' card on us now, Lemieux," the dark-skinned werewolf growled. "Because of you, our Alpha- our future baby daddy and TRUE mate- had us patrolling the pack grounds around the school and the mansions. It's clear that you had an inkling of your plans to get your filthy and faggoty claws into our Alpha's back, you shameless whore!"

"Yeah," her companion agreed, her French manicure transforming into sharp claws as her face shifted into a wolfish form. "You're one bad apple that's spoiling the bushels of our pack and this school and it's time for you to leave!"

I sighed as Shania (the designated guard) was approaching my side. "Look, I don't know what kind of tricks that y'all playing around here, but I ain't in the mood to deal with your fucking bullshit," I retorted, my anger slightly rising. "I've been dealing with a lot going on now that these threats are trying to keep me off-balance. All I want to do right now is to get through this week and ensure that you two, as well as the pack and the entire school in general, are safe from these rogues."

"You can still do that," Crystal sneered, her eyes glowing gold with anger and malice. "You can be a HUGE help to this pack and our respective school- just by surrendering yourselves to the rogues or simply renouncing your claim as Luna and rejecting Matty as your mate so Kylie and I can claim him. You'll do us a solid favor by leaving this school or killing yourself. Hell, even letting the rogue hunters sell you into the black market for sexual slavery, body parts, or mad scientists will do this town justice. Just as long as you're gone, you can allow this school to salvage its reputation."

I squared my shoulders as I saw a few students and teachers come to watch the spectacle. "Look, you both know damn well that your future Alpha and I are destined mates that are blessed by the hands of the Moon Goddess, right?" I asked firmly. "And if you have learned from all the lessons in the supernatural history and ethics classes, rejecting your mate for whatever reason is not only forbidden by the Moon Goddess and Her Sister Amalia, it's against the law! I don't see why you two are so hell-bent on trying to make my life a living hell since you already know of my story back home. I have someone that I truly love and I am not going to-"

I was so lost in my rant that I failed to notice that Kylie stormed over to me and instantly slapped me with her elongated claws. Her impact was so hard that I was on the floor before I could even comprehend what was going on. "We. Don't. Care," she hissed as she leered over me. "You. Don't. Belong. Here, HUMAN!"

And her attack began with more slaps that scratched my face and upper body (Electrique was not going to be happy when she sees the tattered shirt that she bought me) and punches that were powerful enough to knock out a professional fighter. "Kick his ass, Kylie!" I heard Crystal cheer as she restrained Shania. "Kill him if you have to!"

"Stop! Stop this right now!" I heard Matt's mother order angrily as footsteps thundered through the hallways. "Leave Thierry alone!"

"Not until the ratty brat gets the message!" Kylie exclaimed with vengeance in her eyes as she pulled out a small dagger. She turned her attention back to me as I was bouncing in and out of consciousness. "This is for ruining our school with your presence. This is for even coming to Sammons Falls Academy for first place. And this is for even being born at all! Your family, except for that grandma of yours, had every right to hate you for even being alive in the first place! And now, this is a message for the rogues and a peace offering so they can leave us alone and stop the war!"

"DON'T YOU DARE!" Mrs. Rosseaux-Yanez boomed with fierce hatred in her heart.

Kylie smiled widely as she raised the dagger over her head. "Don't worry, Mrs. Rosseaux-Yanez. By the time this brat heads home in a body bag, Kylie and I will make sure that we become the perfect daughters-in-law for your son," she replied cheerfully. To me, "Goodbye, Thierry Lemieux. Goodbye and good riddance.

The last thing that I would see was the looks of pride and arrogance on the she-wolf's wolfed-out face as she plunged the dagger into my chest.

Third-Person POV

"Won't be long now," Tiana crooned happily as she and her twin sister were packing up their suitcases in their shared bedroom. "By the time we arrive in Sammons Falls, we'll have the perfect game plan to join up with the rogue hunters and feral beasts to finally do away with our brother- the so-called direct descendant of the Moon Goddess."

Fianna nodded eagerly as she placed a pink cropped top in her suitcase. "That way, Mom and Dad will resume giving us attention alongside Uncle Cameron doing the same for Mi'Chelle," she replied. "Ugh, I don't see why we can't turn to dark magic and have them on our side again. Then again, we know that no sane witch, rogue or not, will want to help us out since they know from the start about our brother."

"Yeah. The one thing that we hate about all of this is not being able to find a lucky Alpha to wed and bed us," Tiana agreed. "And I swear that Thierry was using some sort of potion to lure his mate into his bed or whatever. I swear to you that one or both of us will be the perfect Lunas for any pack or coven or any supernatural community. But we got to do what we must: kill our brother, join all the rogues, and lead them to the era where power rules."

There was a brief pause of silence as the twin sisters continued to pack their overnight bags. Then a scream emanated from their parents' bedroom.

"What the hell was that?!" Tiana exclaimed as she saw her cousin race into their room. "Chelly Bean, what's going-"

"Guys," Mi'Chelle said excitedly. "Guess what?! Some female she-wolves who want Thierry's mate for themselves attacked him, one of them going as far as stabbing him in the chest! Do you know what this means?!"

The twins smiled wickedly. "You mean-"

Just then, Cameron stormed in with tears in his eyes. "Thierry's in the hospital," he said gravely. "He's injured real bad and more than likely fighting for his life."

"Are we going to see Thierry earlier than planned?" Tiana asked, putting on a concerned front.

"Your parents and I are," Cameron finished. "You ladies will stay here with your grandmother and will join us later," her uncle replied. "And just so you know, you're under lockdown as of now. Try anything and you will pay."

He walked out of the bedroom.

Mi'Chelle rolled her eyes in exasperation. "There goes our plan to finally finish him off," she said in disdain. "We could've at least sold Thierry off to slavery or dissected him into pieces and donate his organs to science. Oh well, at least we have time to plan for everything. While dark magic is out of the question, we can kill that runt's allies and our parents one by one."

"True," Fianna agreed. "The sooner we get rid of Thierry for good as well as his mate and all the goody-goody freaks, the sooner we can be the belles of the ball and have Texas under our mercy."

Tiana smiled. "Three days until we arrive in Sammons Falls. The weekend cannot get here soon enough."

Unknown POV

I hate those girls who cause problems for Thierry. They have no shame. And he's fighting for his life right now!

No matter. I'm on my way to Sammons Falls myself.

Hold on, Thierry and Matt! I'm coming home! Mr. E's coming!

And the plot thickens!

The next three chapters are going to be full of reality checks, mindblowing bombshells, and a certain coven leader who isn't afraid to read bitches for filth! You aren't ready for this! Fasten those seatbelts and hold on for a bumpy ride!
