Not Your Average Happy Ending Read Online Free PDF

listen. He couldn’t stand the fact that Dax was walking around somewhere like nothing had happened. I was okay though. Even though I had a nasty scar, I was fine. I didn’t want to be avenged or whatever. But as stubborn as he was—he left anyway. He and Sam were headed to Washington to follow Sam’s lead. I shuddered. I wondered what they would do to Dax when they found him.
    Saying goodbye to Ash had been so hard. The feel of his arms around me and his face in my hair made me want to cry. I didn’t want him to go. Not just because he was leaving me, but because I worried about his safety. Dax was just as powerful as he was and I couldn’t stand the thought of him getting hurt.
    “Kendall, you ready?”
    Ellie’s voice echoed through the house as she bounded down the stairs into the living room where I waited. She held her drill team bag in her hand and her long hair was pulled into a ponytail. She had always been a morning person. Me on the other hand…
    I yawned. “Yep. Let’s get this year over with.” I followed her out the door.

    Misty waited for me by the front doors of the school. She looked gorgeous, but seemed oblivious to half the male population staring at her as they walked by.
    The scene reminded me of my best friend Tessa. She had moved with her mom to another state over the summer when her parents divorced. The thought of Tessa being gone made the loneliness return. Misty made me feel a little better, but it wasn’t the same. Tessa was the one support system I could always count on. I really missed her.
    “How was your dance or practice stuff this morning?” Misty asked when I reached her.
    I didn’t feel like explaining drill team to her, so I just shrugged. “Practice went well. We have a good team this year.”
    “That’s good.”
    “You ready for your first day of a normal high school?” I asked.
    She smiled. “I think so. I do have one question though. Why do all the human males smell weird? Is it natural?”
    I chuckled and opened the door to go inside. “It’s just cologne. Well, most of it. Some human males don’t believe in hygiene. It will probably be better if you stay away from those ones.”
    Misty wrinkled her nose at that as we walked down the hall to our first class. She didn’t even glance at her schedule. Conveniently, she was in all of my classes, so all she had to do was follow me around. It made me a little happier knowing I’d have someone to talk to. Even if she was only there to protect me.
    “Hey, Kendall. Who’s your friend?”
    I forced a smile at my old crush Cameron who stood by the lockers, surrounded by his football buddies and a bunch of cheerleaders. “She’s not interested,” I said. I kept my eyes forward, relieved he didn’t press it.
    Ever since I’d told him off at prom for trying to take advantage of me in front of everyone, he’d left me alone. Mostly.
    “So that’s Cameron, huh?” When she saw the confusion on my face she smiled. “Ash mentioned him a few times.”
    I smiled. Ash must have hated him more than I thought. “Yep. A real winner, right?”
    She shrugged. “He’s cute, I’ll give him that. He has a strange aura around him though. Can you be lusty and angry at the same time?”
    “Lusty is his middle name.” I stopped. “Wait. You can see people’s auras?”
    “All half-elves can. But we can only see human auras.”
    “Oh. So you can see mine?”
    “Of course. You’re human aren’t you?”
    “Yes.” I frowned. “What color am I?”
    “Yours is blue most of the time. Which means you’re a rather calm person. Which is good. When Ash is around though…” She smiled and winked.
    I put up a hand. “Stop. I don’t want to know.” She laughed as my face heated.
    “Very well.”

    We made it through our first day without incident. Well, if you don’t count the seven guys who asked for Misty’s phone number. It was hilarious to watch. She would laugh and start talking to me, ignoring them
