Beauty and the Beast by Reyann Williams (thriller novels to read txt) 📕

Ara's P.O.V

Beep, Beep, Beep went the annoying sound of my alarm. I groaned into my pillow and rolled across the bed so that I could reach the night stand were I could find it . 

I pressed the snooze button and snuggle up close to my pillow attempting to go to sleep but failing. I rolled around trying to get comfortable but finally decideing to get up.

I checked the time on my alarm and it was 7:15. I only had 45 minutes to get ready if I wanted to get to school early. I picked out my outfit for the day and placed it on the bed with some undies. I striped and wrapped a towel around me and walked down the hallway to the bathroom. 

I stepped into the bathroom and let the tap run until the water was warm enough. I could still hear my father still working away on a new invention in the basement. He was scientist and he had to bring in his project by the end of the week. 

So recently he was bearly seen and there was always a pounding of hammers. But I learned to tune them out as I read my books. 

I loved reading ! When I was eight my dad gave me my first book, The secret Garden. It was my favourite book from since then. I just loved reading and being able to relate to. Especially when the way the authors describe what was going on I felt like I was there.

After showering and washing my hair I stepped out and plugged in my hair dryer. I was deciding what I should make for breakfast in the case my dad hadn't make any while blow drying by hair.

My hair was brown, thick and shoulder lenght when I occasionally decided to let it down. I always kept in a pony tail. It was better that way not having to move my hair evey 2 minutes it fell in my face while I read.

After drying my hair I hurried to my room and quickly pulled on my clothes. I had twenty minutes to make breakfast if I wanted to make it to school early.

I made scramble eggs and toast. I scarfed down the food and made a quick plate for my dad. I carrid it downstairs to him where he was away working on his project.

"Morning Bella." he said as he saw me come down the basement stairs. My full name was Arabella but he insist on calling me Bell. I prefered m friends to call me Ara but he ws the only one that got of by using my pet name. 

"Morning Daddy ."I said kissing him on the cheek and rest the plate on the table besides him. "I made you breakfast but don't stay down hair to late ok." I told him. "I'm leaving for school so bye."  said and headed up upstairs. 

I grabbed my back pack and my phone and started walking since my school wasn't far away from here. I didn't have friends because I was considered as the weirdos daughter who always had her head in the books. 

I guess I never really took the time to make friends because I always was reading. I always tell everyone Morning even though they don't reply because my parents installed good manners in me. Its sometimes very annoying but yet I feel guilty passing someone without telling them goodmorning.

I walked into school and got a few glares from the girls and some boys drooling but I couldn't careless. I just walked on to my locker. I walked straight towards my locker and got the books I needed for the day. 

My first class was Chemistry. I sat by myself in the back seeing that I was to wierd to be bothered by any one. I was early as usual and I took out my book Awakened and read it. 

I was by the part where the girl had just accepted herself as a werewolf and was hugging her mate when someone cae and stole the book right out of my hands. I was annoyed but learned how to surpress my anger.I knew it was with the familiar chuckle that was given.

"Gale, give me back my book please." I said standing on my tippy toes trying to get my book. "Whats wrong your always reading." he said grinning waving the book around in the air." Well its better than doing nothing." I said with a huff.

"Well why not spend some time with me." He aid leaning down going for a kiss. "I rather not." I said using the oppurtunity to grab my book. "Why not?" He said with a whine. I took some time to look into his face. 

He was handsome with long black hair. He was buff and I could see why they called him the most handsome boy in school. But some how I was not impressed. "I have to help my father with his new project." I said sitting down.

"That old quke. Why not not spend time with the most handsome boy in this town." He said flexing his muslces. "I would love to but modesty is not up your alley." I said chuckling knowing that he would certainly not know what that meant."What those that mean?" he said with a puzzled look." Exactly!" I said returning to my book.

"Hey babe." came a way to familiar voice."Hey." Mandy said Gale in a annoying tone. I looked up to see none other than the schools slut and my personal harasser feeling Gales muscles. he shoved her away lightly like he hadn't even care much about her. 

"Good morning Mandy." I said with smile and then return to my book. "Whatever freak." she said. I guess she was a bit ticked off that Gale had pushed her away. "Hey don't say that. Ara is the most beautiful person there is!"he said infuriate at Mandy's nick name for me. 

"Thank you." I said and wet back to my book. I just wished to be left alone so that I could finish reading it. " Why do you spend all you time with her when your have more fun with me." she said seductively pulling on his arm but he soon swat it away. "Just leave me alone." he said and took a seat besides me.

"Hmm" she said and walked off. The bell rang and the teacher came in and began to speak I couldn't wait until class was over to get to the libary.

Austin's P.O.V

"Austin get out here!." said my mom downstairs in the kitchen. After the last pack meeting she was a bit edgy. Rouges were entering our borders and we needed to reduce the numbers. My parents were going on vacation and I was left in charge of the pack house and the pack as alpha in training.

Oh didn't I tell you we're wolves, werewolves to be exact. Created by the moon godess as worshipers

"Honey we're leaving but we want you take care of the pack don't be to tough like you father. Also keep them patrol the border at night and be alert." she warned. "Honey I ave him all the lectures he needed last night so lets go." said dad out in the drive way. I couldn't believe they were leaving in such a crisis but I was thought to never question my fathers choices.

"Bye dad." I said and he took me into a manly bear hug. "Bye son and if you ever need anything the moon godess is always there." he said . My mom took me into a hug. " Take care of yourself." she said witha chuckle. "I will mom." I said and they got in the car.

My dad rived up the engine and backed down the drive way. "We'll be back in a month and a half." Hollered my mom and they disappered down the road.

I turned to go back towards the house and went start to my office on the first floor. I went in and began to go through some pack files on the boundries break ins. There wasn't much since my pack was called the blood pack. We showed absoulutely no mercy and any wolf that happen to cross our borders where dead meat. 

But somehow a few wolves have made it in. How we don't know. But that was what the last pack meeting was for. 

I eventually fell asleep with the only sound of the clock ticking.

That was a pretty short chapter but I hope you guys enjoyed it !!! Share your I deas on how I can make it better 

Ara's P.O.V

After eating my lunch I headed over to the libary to return the book I had taken from the libary yesterday. I finished it quickly because I was quite a fast reader.

"Good Afternoon Ms. Lavender." I said as I apporach the friendly librian." Good afternoon Ara." she said giving me one of her best smiles. "You sure do finish reading that book quickly." she said taking the book from me and checking it back into the system. "You know me." I said chuckling.

I headed off to my favourite spot and settle down with a book under the lamp light. I peacefully read in the almost silent libary. With the only sounds being the typing of some students completing school work and the small whispers of a group of students not to far away from me. 

I spent most of my free time at school away in the libary. I just loved being surrounded by books . All the adventures you can go through with just a pinch of imagination.

The bell rang erupting the room and the shuffiling of chairs can be heard as students made their way out of the room. I got up too borrowing the book I was reading and made my way to my next class.

The other half of the school day went by quickly with only a few interuptions when Gale tried to distract me from my work. I was looking forward to going home and spending the rest of the afternoon in my room.

I walked home quickly and opened the door throwing my bagback on the sofa. Our house was small not to big and flashy. I twas big enough for both me and my dad since we lived alone.

I walked
