Maxine's Pov:
"Damn it! Hurry up, Maxine! Even a snail is faster than you" Tammy rasped as I hurried down the stairs with her school bag.
"I wonder why she keeps acting clumsy" Ruby also glared at me.
Well, I'm not surprised. What do you expect from two sisters with the same characters?
"I'm sorry",I muttered as I stretched out the bag to Tammy and she rolled her eyes before snatching it from me.
"Are my pretty angels ready?" The familiar voice asked and I turned to see their mother climbing down the stairs, looking so pretty as always.
"Yes, mum. I was about coming to your room to kiss you" Tammy said with a pout and went to give her a peck.
Well, she was the youngest and tend to behave childish.
Mrs Rosalie glared at me when she got to where I was and I quickly took my gaze to the floor.
"Okay, dear. You need to hurry up so you won't be late. Be careful, okay?" She said sweetly to her daughters and they nodded
"Bye, mum." Ruby said and started walking out.
"Bye mummy. I'll get you some small chops on my way back. And I promise to dance for you when I return" Tammy giggled.
"Oh! Please Ruby, you and I both know you don't know how to dance" Ruby said as she walked out the door.
"That's a lie" Tammy pouted and their mother laughed.
"Don't mind your sister. You're a perfect dancer, okay?" She tried petting her.
"And what're you staring at??" She snapped at me and I gulped nervously and started walking out of the house, my school bag hung on my right hand.
I got out to the parking lot and met Ruby already seated in the black jeep, operating her phone.
I tried going in, but she stopped me.
"And what do you think you're doing?" She asked with a glare.
Oh, please!
"I...I..."
"I'm not ready to share the car with you today, okay? So, find your way" she snapped and took her eyes back to her phone.
Oh God! Not again.
Tammy showed up immediately.
"Hm" she scoffed and rolled her eyes at me before going into the car as well.
"But...how do I get to school? I don't have any money on me" I said and they laughed.
"Well, that's your problem; not ours" Tammy smirked and shut the door and the driver took off immediately.
I itched my head and watched pathetically as they left. What do I do now? Am I really going to walk to school today again? But the distance is so long. I'll definitely be late for classes.
Oh God!
I took in a deep breath and having no other choice, I started walking out of the compound.

Want a little introduction?
Well, I'm Maxine Daniels.
19 years old and an orphan. Yeah - my parents died a long time ago and since then, I've been forced to live with my uncle and his family since they were the only relatives I knew.
The cause of my parents death still remains a mystery as they were both found dead in the early hours of the morning and I'm yet to receive anymore news.
My father was a wealthy business tycoon, but when he died, his brother - my uncle - took everything away.
Well, it was actually stated in my father's will that he willed everything to him and till date, I still don't know why. I mean, I'm his only child, yet he didn't leave any of his properties or a little part of his wealth for me. And now, I have to depend on my uncle and live as a slave.
Anyway, I just decide to go on with life. I mean, as long as there's life, there's hope, right?

I got out to the road and continued walking.
Gosh! I was so tired already. I wish I had a cab fare. I can't believe I'll be late for classes again.
After a long walk, I came across a billboard that gripped my attention and I stopped to take a proper look at it.
On it was boldly written:
WHO WILL BE THE STAR DANCER?
I smiled as I stared at it.
Hmm. The Star Dance Competition.
It was one of the greatest dance competitions coming up in a few days time and people from different countries were actually coming to participate. The winner becomes a model and a diva and her life will sure change forever.
Its a pity I wouldn't be able to participate because:
First, I can't afford the registration fee.
And second, my uncle and his wife will never allow me to participate. But I heard they've registered Tammy already.
Hm it's quite a pity, though. It'd have been a perfect opportunity to display my talent.
I shook my head and continued walking.
Well, if there's one thing you should know about me is this - I was made from dance. Like...it's a spirit that can never leave me. I can't stay close to a music without dancing to it. It drives me crazy at times and sometimes, I wonder why I was made like that. Its incredible.
I came across a newspaper vendor and my eyes caught the sight of a catchy headline:
POPULAR DANCER -NOAH SIGMUND - RETURNS TO NEW YORK FROM HIS TRIP.
Oh! I paused and gasped.
Noah was back?? Hm. I'm pretty sure he returned with his brother.
Wow! I had no idea he was returning today.
Well, Noah was the first son of Mr Sigmund - who was the owner of the Star Dance Organization
He had a twin brother - Rex - although, they weren't identical and Noah was the cutest - everybody admits to that.
He's actually a talented dancer and had won in the World Best Competition which made him popular. He's actually my role model cause his dance steps were incredible and I wonder if I'll ever get a chance meet him so I could tell him how amazing he was.
Well, I'm pretty sure I can only meet him in my dreams.
I shook my head and laughed and continued on my long way to school.

Noah's Pov:
"Oh!! My little boys are home!!" Mum exclaimed as I walked into the house with Rex behind me.
I smiled and received the embrace she was already offering.
"Good morning, mum" I beamed
"Oh, my prince charming. You're looking more handsome!" She held my cheeks and said and I chuckled.
"Nice to see you, mum."
"Yeah - and I guess I'll have to come last" Rex muttered from behind and left me to go to him.
"Oh, Rex! Come on; you know you'll always be my little prince", she beamed and kissed him, but he didn't smile or react.
Yeah, Whatever.
"Come on; what's wrong? Won't you give me a smile, at least?" Mum cooed and he just sighed
"Nice seeing you again, mum. I think I'll really be needing a cool shower" he said bluntly and took the stairs, leaving mum astonished.
"Noah, what's wrong? Are you two having issues?" She asked, her right hand at akimbo.
"Its his problem,,mum. His loss" I scoffed angrily and she flinched.
"What's..."
"We can talk about it later, okay? But for now, I need to rest" I cut her off, calmly tho and she sighed.
"Okay, then. Anyway, your father's on his way home already. You need to get ready cause he's coming to have a big meeting with you" she laughed as she helped me with my buttons.
Huh?
"What meeting?" I asked, already feeling tired.
I'm seriously not ready for one of his arguments.
"Well...I think it has to do with you getting married" she shrugged and I furrowed my brows in dismay.
"What? Don't tell me he's still into that. Mum..."
"Well, its just a guess, Noah. Okay? I'm not really sure. I just think that's his reason. But don't worry, he doesn't have a wife yet" she winked at me and I rolled my eyes, tiredly.
"Come on. I'll accompany you to your room" she held my hand and said and started leading me to the stairs.
Hmm.
"So, how's the dance competition coming up...?" I asked along the way, trying to bring up more conversations.
..."This is not the time to cry Morgana,this is the time to become brave and revenge!! Don't forgive the royal family of Neovat.You must avenge my death!!". Morgana ran as fast as she could deeper into the forest and was never seen again....... Years later,Morgana fell in love with the prince of Neovat."We're not compatible!I have a mission to accomplish Leo, you're a distraction". Morgana ranted. Will Morgana be able to succeed with her revenge? Will her love life with the prince be smooth?

To her surprise, her mother in this life left her a great deal of money. She turned the tables and avenged herself. Everything went well in her career and love when her ex-husband came to her.
"Who is she?" I asked, feeling tears well up in my eyes. "He met her at the Alpha training camp," he said. "She is a perfect suitor for him. It snowed last night, indicating that his wolf is happy with his choice." My heart sank, and tears made their way down my cheeks. Alexander took my innocence last night, and now he is taking that thing in his office as his Luna. **** Emily never shifted on her 18th birthday and became the laughingstock of the pack.

She thought she was the love of his life, and he became the love of her life that fateful day she had seen him at the pack's party. Selene Grace was only a replica of Alpha Leo's real mate, and when he spotted her, Leo immediately claimed her as his Luna in order to suppress the rumors of him being mateless. Being unable to conceive turns Selene's marriage into a nightmare, and as if that wasn't enough, Alpha Leo finally reunites with his long time lover and mate, rejecting a pregnant Selene as a result. 5 years later, Selene, a now successful doctor, receives an invitation to the moon shadow pack in order to rid the pack of a deadly disease which has struck it. Will Selene return back to the pack which had caused her so much pain, and what would she do when she realizes that she is mated to the Alpha who had betrayed her in the past?

"Release my arm, Mr. Carrington, before I force you to." She says, seeming to smile at me. I give her a sly smile. Squeezing my wrist with her other hand, she twists it uncomfortably. I gave a painful hiss. "Don't underestimate me, Mr. Carrington." "This is the only time I will allow you to walk away from me, Miss Carter." She glared at me as she turned. "Mr. Carrington, I am no possession of yours." I was left standing there when she opened the classroom door and left.

"Then why aren't you?" I responded, loving the feel of him pressed so close, my back to the mirror, my front to him.
