HEY LOVES ❤️

I'm sorry for the inconvenience earlier. I updated but then unpublished because I realized updating when not finished was stupid.

And the voting booth has come to an end... With a three-way tie. 💀🔫

Tally vs Caminah vs Camren

Enjoy~

"Prude !"

"I'm not a prude !"

"Okay, super prude !"

"Dinah !"

"No no, she's a mega prude !!"

"Tori !"

Normani threw her pencil in frustration at both of the blondes; the two scurrying in a frenzy to get away from her wrath. The brown skin girl shook her head and sighed, "I'm not a prude."

A week after the incident in the Sacramento pack, Normani realized that although she was having fun this summer, she did have to eventually get back to work for school. All throughout the week, the brown skin girl began to send out forms to colleges in hopes that she would get accepted. She couldn't live off of Lauren forever and she needed to get her independence.

The brown skin girl had been cramped up in her room, refusing to go out with the two blondes for the whole week and they both had constantly been bugging her about her becoming a prude.

"I'm not a prude," The girl scuffed as she continued to search for scholarships, "I'm just getting ready for the future," The girl scuffed once again and turned towards the door, "Don't be begging me for spare change when I'm driving my hybrid car !!"

"Hybrid car ? Babe I thought you wanted a Jeep ?" In entered the green eyed beta with two mugs in her hand, "Heard you were back at it again so I brought you coffee ice cream."

The brown skin girl instantly released her hands from the keyboard and looked at her mate with a bright smile, "Oh God, you're an angel sent from above."

"No you're my angel sent from above," Lauren placed a sweet peck on the girl's forehead, gave her the mug, and sat down on her bed beside her, "So what's going on ? Rumor has it that you haven't left the room in a week."

"You saw me this morning you assho-"

"Okay ! Moving on !" Lauren put her hands up in defense and took a spoonful of ice cream, "Somebody's sensitive, now are we ?"

Normani rolled her eyes as she took a spoonful of her ice cream, "No I'm just not trying to end up on the streets when I finish school."

"You won't end up on the streets, you'll be here running the pack with me, duh." The beta chuckled as she took more spoonfuls of her ice cream.

The Southern Native sighed as she put her mug down and laid her head down on Lauren's lap. The Cuban girl too, put her mug down and stared down at her mate, "What's bothering you angel ?"

Normani fiddled with her fingers, voice coming out a little above a whisper, "What if I don't grow up and have a stable life ? What if after high school I'm just a number to society instead of a somebody ?"

Lauren stared down at her beautiful mate, wondering how in the world she couldn't be successful. This little ball of happiness she called hers was just amazing. From her ability to make anyone like her to her dancing talents to her mere presence was just something special. Lauren knew that Normani would never just be a number to society.

The beta ran her fingers through Normani's hair easily, "Babygirl you'll never be just a number. You'll forever be Normani, the one who will change lives," Normani smiled softly at Lauren, making the younger girl smile as well, "Come on, let's take a break."

Normani let Lauren take ahold of her hand as they scurried downstairs, "Wait what ? Lauren I still have applications-"

"Mani shush, come on, live a little. You'll only be 18 once in your life," Lauren snatched the keys up from the keyholder and smiled at the brown skin girl, "Now come on, let's live it up."

~~~

Ally frantically continued to move the papers in front of her. She needed to get these in the right sequence yet somehow none of it was connecting. The timelines she was trying to achieve weren't working the way she wanted it to.

"Jordan got me the kitten before he finally became a wolf," The Mexican girl muttered to herself as she rearranged the sheets, "Or was it the other way around ?"

The girl stared at the papers before screaming out a profanity and hitting her fist against the table. This was how it'd been for the girl the whole week. Seven days of nine dreams she had been given about Jordan.

"I know you're fucking with my mind Corey ! Go to hell you piece of shit !" Ally cursed out to particularly no one. But the girl knew, she knew Corey was listening to her somehow.

The alpha looked down at the paper arrangement and sighed. She had a gut feeling, the arrangement was wrong. Again.

The Mexican girl had two rows of papers containing her flashback dreams. One row contained how the events actually happened in real life. The other row contained how Corey played them out in her mind.

"There has to be some reason he's throwing in all these memories." Ally murmured as she stared at the papers before her. Out of the corner of her eyes, the girl saw her mate leaned up against the door with her arms crossed.

The alpha looked back down at the papers. Something was truly off.

"Oh, so I don't even get a greeting ?" Dinah sassed as she stared at her mate. Ally truly looked a mess. Stress was etched all over the girl's tan skin.

Ally glanced at Dinah but immediately went back the timeline layout of sheets, "You know I love you sweets, but right now is not the time. I can't get this layou-"

The Mexican girl was cut off by Dinah gripping her chin and placing a deep kiss on her lips. Instantly, whatever Ally was worried about vanished into thin air as she appreciated Dinah's plump lips on hers. The older girl groaned as she pulled the girl by her butt.

Now it was Dinah's turn to let out a noise, the girl moaning at Ally's rough contact. Both girls pulled away and looked at each other in the eyes.

"Ally you have to tell me about this. It's literally eating you away day by day," Dinah kept her soft hold on Ally's chin, "Please baby."

Ally looked up at Dinah one last time before sighing, "Do you want the long story or short version ?"

~~~

"I'll have tickets for two please, two rides." Lauren smiled as she payed the gawking teenage boy.

Fun Family Festive. The little fun getaway Lauren would often go to, to obviously, get away. This little in-the-cut fun park consisted of go carts, an arcade, bouncy houses, a golf course, and none other than a batting cage.

"Come on Mani ! I want the blue cart !" Lauren shouted giddily as she took the girl's hand into her own and rushed towards the go carts.

"Lauren why are you being so childish ? It doesn't matter what cart we get- OH MY GOD THE BLUE ONE IS SO CUTE !!" Normani gushed at the beautifully painted blue cart. She felt envious that Lauren would be driving that beauty while she would be stuck with something below it, "Fine ! I call the red one !"

"Call whatever you want ! All I know is you'll be eating my dust Mani !"

~

"You cheated Normani !"

"No I didn't I won fair and square !!"

The two girls playfully argued back and forth as they left the go cart rink. Lauren herself couldn't accept the fact that Normani, the new comer, had actually beat her.

The brown skin girl smirked and playfully flipped her hair, "Don't be mad because I won."

Lauren rolled her eyes and took ahold of Normani's hand, "Now let's go have actual fun. Arcade we go !!"

~~~

"So lemme get this straight," Dinah started as Ally just finished telling her the story, "Jordan was your adopted brother ?"

Ally nodded, "I found him and Corey when I was 8. The two had ran away from Pasadena and ended up here in Oakland."

"Why'd they run away ?" Dinah questioned.

"Acceptance. They wanted to run away from discrimination and go somewhere they were wanted. Hybrids aren't treated so nicely."

Dinah nodded. Although she already knew Ally's story, she understood it more with Ally telling her personally.

"Half werewolf, half- ?"

"Half werewolf, half witch," The Mexican girl laughed humorlessly, "Jordan was always more in the werewolf side while Corey was always more on the witch side."

"So that's how he keeps getting into your mind !" Dinah finally understood, grabbing Ally into a deep hug, "Baby I'm so sorry."

"So am I Dinah, so am I," Ally sighed, "But as long as your okay, I'm fine."

Little did they know, a little voice was listening. A smirk flew upon their face, "Let me show you the side of the perfect little Ally, you don't know."

~~~

"So wait, please tell me you're joking !"

Normani shook her head and hit the puck, "Nope. It's the truth."

"Girl you're wrong ! Grape juice is so much better than apple juice."

"Lauren, you're wrong ! Anyone sane would take a cup of apple juice over grape juice any day."

The green eyed girl scuffed and hit the puck with a bit more force, "Mani you're wrong."

The two girls were now playing air hockey and debating on any random topic they could think of. Seemingly, the debate about juice had taken a turn.

"Nope, that's it. We're only getting grape juice now." Lauren nearly missed the puck but still hit it.

"What is this ? Assimilation ? I'm keeping my juice in the house." Normani chuckled and hit the puck.

The beta smiled and hit the puck back, "Nope, sorry. We're a grape juice couple." The puck stopped near the middle of the table, more towards Normani's side.

"A grape juice couple ?" The brown skin girl leaned in towards the puck, her cleavage showing more as she bent towards the middle. Normani sported a teasing pout, "That's not fair. I just wanted to have my apple juice."

Lauren stood there looking at Normani. The girl never stepped into this boundary before. Lauren didn't know whether or not to tease back or shake herself awake from this amazing dream.

"Would that be fair baby ?" The brown skin girl tilted her head and batted her eyelashes.

The poor whipped female, mouth agape and all, just shook her head. Normani grinned as she hit the puck, going straight into Lauren's goal.

"Good," The brown skin girl skipped over to Lauren, "Now where are we going next ?"

"The batting cages." The Cuban girl muttered, still in a daze by the teasing.

Normani smirked as she pecked Lauren's cheek and laced their fingers, "Lead the way Lolo."

~~~

"Pass the ball Dinah !" The little boy shouted with a bright smile upon his face.

The young Dinah tossed the ball and rolled her eyes, "Don't rush me Corey ! Annoying !"

The two four year olds were playing catch together. It was a bright sunny day out in the backyard of the packhouse and they were both enjoying every minute of it.

"I wonder where Jordan is," Corey spoke out loud as he caught the ball, "He promised me ice cream because it's my birthday tomorrow !"

The little Polynesian girl pouted as she caught the bouncy red ball, "Ice cream !! Aww I want some too !"

Corey stuck out his tongue playfully and caught the ball the girl threw, "Don't worry. Jordan can take you too !"

"Wow really ??" The boy nodded and Dinah smiled widely, "He must be super rich !"

"He's not rich silly ! He's just really nice !" Corey smiled at the mention of his brother, "He's the nicest, coolest, awesomest big brother ever ! He always takes care of me better than my mommy and daddy !"

"Where are your mommy and daddy ?" The little caramel girl asked.

Corey frowned, "They're in Pasadena with our other pack. The pack wasn't nice to us because we were half werewolf half witch."

"Aww that's so mean !" Dinah scrunched her eyebrows, feeling mad for her new friend, "Don't let them bully you ! You're nice, I don't know why they bully you !"

"They bully Jordan more because he fights the bullies for me." Corey caught the ball and held it, a sad expression flooding his face, "I feel really bad. Jojo would be really happy without me."

"Don't say that Corey ! Jordan loves you !" The Pacific Islander girl pulled the boy into a hug, "Come on ! Let's go see Jojo and he'll tell you how much he loves you !"

The girl began running off towards where her instinct told her Jordan was. The two children began running, racing off to the older boy.

"I win ! I win !" Corey cheered as they made it, "See ! Now let's find Jo-"

But before he could finish, both of the children spotted a fair sized dark brown werewolf in a fighting stance watching a little girl on all fours with her teeth baring.

The Mexican girl growled as she shut her eyes in pain. The girl's body began snapping and cracking, her nails extending into claws digging into the ground as the hair upon her body grew to a lengthy length.

"What's Jojo doing with Ally ?" Corey asked he stared at the pair, "Ally's finally becoming a werewolf !"

"Why now ? Shouldn't you be a werewolf when you're younger ?" Little Dinah inquired.

"Ally's always a late one. She's really small and does everything late. That's what Papa J told me."

As the little Mexican girl's eyes rolled to the back of her head. In an instant there was a flash and blinding everyone near them. Both Corey and Dinah shielded their eyes.

Once the aura went away, they both lowered their arms to see a rather large wolf. The brown-blonde werewolf stood highly above the dark brown one. Its eyes were bright white and it's canines were rather large.

"Wow Ally looks scary." Dinah stated, Corey nodding in agreement.

But what took Dinah and Corey by surprise was that Ally looked down upon Jordan, a deep growl emitting from the 10 year old.

Instantly, the wolf leapt onto Jordan, snapping its canine in every area possible. Evident blood stained the larger wolf's mouth as it continued to latch its teeth into every area of Jordan.

"Ally stop !!" Screamed the horrified Corey as he watched his brother be attacked for no reason.

Ally continued to snap at Jordan before stomping the attacked boy with its gigantic paws. Jordan kicked its hind legs up, making Ally fly off, but that didn't stop the beast.

Ally's body landed easily as it sprung right back up and sprinted towards Jordan. The larger wolf flipped the boy upward and hopped up, headbutting the beast in the stomach.

Jordan's body went flying as well, hitting the ground with a harsh thud. Ally, still sprinting over towards the boy, transformed back into her human form.

Strangely, with Ally's human form, she still contained her werewolf features, the canines and claws still evident. With her illuminating white eyes, the small girl straddled the wolf and sent blow after blow towards its swollen face.

Through the attack the boy was receiving, his body morphed back into his fragile human form. His face was already beaten to the pulp and had a plethora of bruises upon it. Nothing but blood coated both of the children.

"Ally stop ! Stop !!" Corey pleaded yet the girl didn't listen.

The Mexican girl's lip quivered into a scowl as her sharp claws slammed into the boy's chest. A growl leaving her lips easily as she let her claws sink their way into the naked flesh.

"You are below me Jordan." Was all Ally said before her hand went full force into the boy's chest; blood now coating her entire arm.

The boy's face was painted in shock; his eyes mile wide. Ally grunted and yanked her hand back out; a beating red object in the palm of her hand.

"Jordan !!" Corey cried out, tears drowning his high pitched voice.

The person he looked up to was taken away from him so easily before his eyes. The person that saved him and his brother, took his brother.

Ally's head turned and looked over at Corey and Dinah, the beating of Jordan's heart not fazing her one bit. The girl smirked as her eyes began to simmer down from its white color to brown color.

~

With that, Dinah Jane jolted up from the bed; a hand upon her chest and sweat upon her face.

"Ally's a murderer." The girl thought as her dream kept replaying and replaying. Ally did tell her about the day Jordan died but not in explicit detail. Now she really began to question her mate.

"Dinah !" A voice screamed before her. The girl looked up to see Normani with a stuffed wolf toy under her arms and goofy smile on her face, "Girl you were sitting there sweating like bloody murder, you good ?"

"Yeah I'm good girl," The Polynesian girl swept her hair out of her face, "What's with that goofy ass Crazy Eyes smile on your face ?"

Normani rolled her eyes as she sat on the edge of her friend's bed, "Don't be mad because Lauren got me something while Ally got you a pat on the back."

"Quite frankly Ally gives me much more while I'm on my back than Lauren does to you."

"Girl don't even- wait what ?"

"What ?"

The older girl rose her eyebrow but nonetheless let that comment slide knowing she'll add it to her files, "Anyways, I'm smiling because I'm happy, can I not be happy ?"

"No, you can't. As your soulmate, you can only be happy with me, not Lauren," Dinah sat up and looked at her friend, "Now tell me why that pale werewolf has you smiling."

The giddy brown skin girl smiled and sat closer to Dinah, cuddling into her side, "Lauren took me to Fun Family Festive and we had fun."

"Wait y'all went on another date ? Oh my readers are gonna love this, wait !" The caramel colored girl hopped up and ran towards her pen and paper, ready for Laurmani notes, "Girl spill that tea, my readers literally itch for Laurmani !"

Normani began to spill every detail from the two girls running off to have fun to her winning at everything to the sweet moments in the batting cages when Lauren was teaching her how to swing properly. Dinah smiled widely at her friend's happiness and took vigorous notes. The Pacific Islander girl drew a little sketch of her favorite couple.

But still in the back of her mind, the thought replayed like a broken record:

Ally is a murderer.
