Seeing Riley and her friends in front of the school, my heart began to beat faster. I didn't want any more trouble, but it seemed like they always found their way to me.

Kessler noticed my change in expression and gently squeezed my hand. "Let's just ignore them, okay?" he said calmly.

I nodded, trying to keep my composure as we got out of the jeep. But just as we were about to pass by them, Riley approached with a sarcastic smile.

"Eva, haven't you forgotten about our little incident the other day, have you?" she said, with her friends laughing behind her.

I tried to ignore her and keep moving forward, but Riley blocked my path. "What's wrong? Are you afraid I'll bury you alive again?" she said with an unpleasant laugh.

Kessler stepped between us, staring at Riley with a serious expression. "Enough, Riley. Leave us alone," he said firmly.

Riley looked at him with surprise, but then her expression turned into a mocking smirk. "Oh, and who are you to tell me what to do, Kessler? Are yo

    " What are you saying?" Lottie inquires. "Is Lucas...? Who did that to him?""When he had the accident, I remember seeing the bite, but Kessler confirmed it for me yesterday. It's in progress, and my father can't know about it.""Oh my God." Lottie sits on the root of a tree to process the information. "How could I have been so blind? The answer was always there.""They know how to keep the secret very well.""What will happen to Lucas?""Kessler believes there's no cure and the only thing we can do is help Lucas go through the process smoothly. He's still a rookie. I agreed to discuss it with him today.""Please, I want to be informed about everything that happens with Lucas."I smiled."You really like him, don't you?"She nodded."I don't know if he likes me back, but I liked your brother from the first time I saw him.""Well, you have my blessing. You'll be his guide through all of this.""Count on me. I still can't believe it.""Me neither.""Let's keep looking for the plant, or

    When we left class, we went to Kessler's house. Truthfully, I was a bit nervous even though we've done this before. The passion and desire between us were quite evident. Kessler made me feel incredible."It was... perfect," he tells me when we finish. We're lying on his bed, staring at the ceiling. "Every day, I feel more attached to you, Eva."I felt a flutter in my stomach at his words."I feel the same," I said softly. "And it's strange. Is it bad? If someday you get bored of me, what will happen to me?""That will never happen," he says. "Eva, now that you know the truth about what I am, I want to tell you something." He sits up and starts getting dressed. I do the same because I'm curious about what he'll say. I hope it's not something bad. I'm tired of bad news lately."What's wrong? Is it something bad?""It depends on how you see it. For me, it's very good," he smiles. "Every wolf has their she-wolf. Their soulmate. The person they were destined for. You are my soulmate, Eva,

    The idea that Kessler would have used something to seduce me is absurd, it couldn't be, I would feel it. Kessler and I were bonded from the start, as he said: I'm his mate. So, yes, perhaps Kessler has that gift, but he couldn't have used it on me. The door opens, and my father enters, but he's not alone; Jonny is with him. It's been days since I've seen him. I had even forgotten about him."Eva, you're here. I ran into Jonny at the supermarket, and I've invited him to dinner, hope you don't mind," my father said."Hello, Eva, it's been a while," Jonny greets, smiling as always. "I brought some things for dinner.""Of course, no problem," I said."If you want, I can help. I'm very good in the kitchen," he suggests."Hmm, alright, because if I do it alone, it'll take longer than usual, and I don't want to keep you waiting," I took the bags and headed to the kitchen, where Lucas was having juice."What's up, Lucas," Jonny greeted."Wow, you look lost. I'm glad you're back; Eva needed a

    "What the hell are you doing in Eva's room?" Kessler demands. Shit, I just hope Dad doesn't overhear us or I'll be in serious trouble."Kessler, don't make a scene, please," I said quietly. "Dad might hear us.""I just came to check on you, Eva. Your father sent me to find you. I thought we could watch a movie..."Kessler laughed."Are you crazy? You won't be watching any movie with Eva, Jonny, you know what I mean. Stop chasing her, Eva is mine.""Kessler," I protested. It's one thing for him to tell me, but another to spread it around to everyone. I'm not an object for him to claim like that."Get out of her room and out of her life, or you and I are going to have a problem.""And if not?" I challenged. "Kessler, I have the same rights as you. If Eva wants me to stay away from her, she can tell me herself. You're nobody to tell her what to do. Right, Eva?" I look at her. "Will you let a guy choose your friends? Let me tell you, you're way off base there. We all know how manipulative

    The sound of the birds woke me up. Through the window, I could see the daylight. My clock showed seven in the morning.No way! Kessler, beside me, hugged me while he slept peacefully. I smiled seeing him like that, tempted not to go to school and spend the whole morning with him, making breakfast together, and spending the day doing something fun. Wow, I think I'm falling for Kessler Walton more than I expected.I kissed him on the cheek, causing him to stir."What time is it?" he asked."Seven," I replied."Damn, we'll be late," he said, looking at me. "Good morning, kitty, how are you? You look beautiful.""Don't be a liar. I wake up with messy hair and bad breath.""That's not true, and I have a mega sense of smell."I rolled my eyes. Kessler pounced on me and started tickling me."N-no," I gasped as I laughed. "Kessler, my dad might come!""Eva?" My dad's voice made us freeze in silence."Yes? I'm awake," I said."You'll be late for breakfast," he said."I'll be down in five minut

    "Water this part, and I'll water over here," Lottie tells me. We were in the small garden we had made with the teacher. Despite everything, we couldn't let it go neglected, or we'd fail. The seedling was planted, and now it was our job to water it daily and adjust the soil. Honestly, I don't know much about these things; Lottie is the expert.The soil was damp from the overnight rain. The weather was cold as usual, with no sun in sight, always giving a cloudy, bluish appearance. It was beautiful, but sometimes I needed some sun on my skin. This time I brought my yellow jacket just in case, the gray clouds above the town and some distant thunder warned me it might rain."I think it's ready," I said, standing up. "Let's go to class.""Wait a moment..." Lottie washes her hands. "I was talking to Lucas, and I couldn't help but tell him what you said," she pursed her lips."Yes, he told me. It's okay, I'm not upset. It doesn't matter.""Are you sure?" she wanted to know."Yes, Lottie, it's

    Saying I'm disappointed is an understatement."What do you want us to do?" Lottie inquires."To be honest, I don't know anymore. I don't know what to do or what to think.""Talk to him, maybe it's something important.""How important can it be to come to Lottie's house?" I wanted to know. We still haven't gotten out of the car. I'm afraid of finding something worse. Although Lucas wouldn't deceive me... if Kessler and Riley are up to something strange, my brother would have my back... right?"I don't know... maybe it's work-related, their parents are friends.""Let's find out," I said, carefully opening the door and stepping out. Lottie did the same. We walked stealthily along the huge wall until we reached a tree. Luckily, the tree was close to the wall so we could climb it and see the other side."This is very risky," Lottie murmurs. "What if we get caught?""Nothing will happen. Kessler should be the one afraid, not me," I began to climb the tree carefully. There were some ants cra

    "What do we do now?" Lottie inquires. I continue opening my lunchbox, unconcerned about Kessler coming over."Act natural," I said calmly."Don't worry, I'm here to protect you," Jonny said, which I found very kind of him.I smiled at him in gratitude."That's what I'm here for, to take care of her," Kessler's voice sounded angry, tense. He put his hand on my shoulder and sat next to me. There was silence in the air."I thought we were going to have lunch together," he murmured."I'm already having lunch with Jonny and Lottie. If you'll excuse me, I want to have a peaceful meal," I said, giving him a cold look. Kessler frowned, seeming to not believe that I was speaking to him like that."What's wrong, Eva?" he wanted to know. "Why are you acting like this? What did this jerk tell you?" he pointed at Jonny."Nothing, Kessler. He didn't tell me anything. In fact, don't you have something to tell me?" I looked at him seriously. Kessler was trying to guess what was bothering me. It showe

    "At what party?""On the mountain, the highest one. They always throw parties there.""Are there any witnesses who can confirm that information?"I bit my lip, remembering that neither Maia nor Junior made it to the party yesterday. I also didn't see Jeremiah; the only ones who could say they saw me are Monica and Miranda.Great."Liam.""Anyone else?""Uh, yes! T-Theo... Theo W-White.""Anyone else?""Those are the only ones I know.""Alright. One moment, please." The police officer leaves the room, and I'm left alone. From movies, I know that the huge mirror in front of me is a window to another room where they are also watching me.I can't believe Jeremiah is dead, oh my God, what happened to him? My hands are shaking, I feel very anxious. I don't like this place.The officer returns minutes later."We've called Theo White, and he's on his way. You need to give us the names of at least two more people. We need proof, not just words."Whatever."There are two girls that... I had pro

    "Miss, step back, please!"The wolf growled louder and approached."We're going to shoot!""Don't shoot, please!"I looked at the wolf, who now seemed to realize what was happening. It was cornered. For a moment, I thought it would run away, but no, its demeanor returned to that of an angry wolf, and it advanced towards me.A gunshot.And another."No!"They hit the wolf, but it didn't stop. The wolf ran towards the forest, but it was injured. People applauded the police for hitting it. I ran after it, thinking I must be crazy for doing this, but I couldn't help feeling that the wolf needed me. I ran and ran, following the blood trail until I found it. I saw the wolf lying next to a tree.Tears streamed down my face seeing it in that state. I wasn't afraid at that moment; I just got on my knees next to it. The wolf looked at me, and its ears pinned back."I'm so sorry."It had several bullet wounds and was bleeding a lot. I couldn't help but sob."I'm so sorry."The wolf whined, and I

    I half-smiled and got out of the car. Liam drove off into the forest. What is he doing? I went inside, thinking Mom or Dad would be waiting for me, super worried, but I guess Dad is keeping his word to let me fly. I went upstairs and locked the door once I was in my room.I was surprised to see Liam there."You're fast.""I wanted to spend the night with you, Cristine. I'm not going to leave you alone again."Liam hugged me, and I was grateful for it. We both got into bed and cuddled. I felt loved, cherished, and protected. Little by little, the fear started to fade."I'll take care of your dreams."His head massages made me sleepier and sleepier until I finally fell asleep.•The next morning, I opened my eyes slowly. I heard the birds chirping by the window. I looked for Liam beside me, but he was already gone. I knew it, I knew he would leave at dawn. I got up, my head aching a little. There was a note next to me that read:Good morning, sweetheart. I'll pick you up to take you to

    "Sounds like a good idea." I took off his shirt, kissed his neck, and licked his ear. I looked at the half-moon in the sky, illuminating us a bit. I thought about how Liam would pay for deceiving me and how the moon would help me with my revenge. I sensually removed all my clothes in front of Liam, my naked body exposed to him. There was grass on the ground, so we lay down there. This reminded me of the night we became a couple."You're so beautiful."More than Miranda? I wanted to ask but kept quiet."So gorgeous... everything about you drives me crazy." Liam sucked on my breasts, and I felt so much pleasure that I moaned. I sat on top of him, starting to move back and forth. "Oh yes... Cristine, you're incredible." He scratched my back."Do you like it?""A lot."I smiled bitterly as I made love to him.When we were about to climax, I felt Liam getting extremely hot, just like what happened with Theo the other time. I was a bit puzzled by the similarity but decided to ignore it. May

    I went downstairs."Are you going out?" Dad was at the table reading some papers."Yes, we're going to a party with Maia and the guys. Can I go?" I approached him. I didn't like being distant with my father; I've always been a daddy's girl, which is why Greg and his friends teased me. And now, with Liam's presence, he's not happy, so he's been very distant from me."Alright, have fun, honey.""I don't like being mad at you." I sat on his lap. "You're my daddy, and I love you.""I love you too, honey, it's just that... there are things you still don't understand. You're very young, and I just want to protect you. That's all."I smiled and kissed his cheek."Let me make my own decisions, let me make mistakes because that's the only way I'll gain experience and learn life's lessons. You can't keep me in a glass box forever, Dad.""That's what hurts the most: not being able to do that.""Dad...""I'll try not to be so distrustful and give you more freedom, but don't hesitate to come to me

    -What are you doing here?Theo's look was dark, he didn't seem to see me.-My mom brought Maia so I couldn't get away, don't worry we're leaving," I crossed my arms.-Christine, you shouldn't come to this house anymore.Her words hurt me but I also swallowed the feeling.-If that's what you want, it's okay, you won't see me again.Theo closed his eyes for a few seconds and then let his guard down.-It's not that I don't want you to come but that it hurts me to see you and know you're not mine.A lunge.-It hurts me to see you and know I can't touch you, kiss you, or make you mine.Another thrust.His words would make any woman fall in love.I bit my bottom lip and lowered my gaze to his lips. What the hell am I doing? Am I hurting because of the way Liam is cheating on me? Maybe Liam right now is kissing Miranda or making love to her, I don't want to think about that! It's torturous.-I already told you that you won't see me again now please jump.Theo moved closer, I could tell he wa

    "That's just the town entrance; there are still a few kilometers to go before we reach the houses.""Sorry, ladies, but this is as far as I can go.""We'll have to walk."I rolled my eyes, paid the taxi driver, and we got out. The man's behavior was strange; he didn't want to enter the town."What now?""We walk."Maia and I started walking. The afternoon was fading, and the sun was setting. Maia knew to respect my need for silence and reflection."I'll get over it. We were only together for a day."Maia laughed."It's funny, but you were together before Liam made it official.""Yes. I suppose it was just attraction," I swallowed hard."You're angry, but I know it hurt to see him with someone else.""Of course. I feel betrayed and hurt, but believe me, if I could get over Kaleb, I can get over anything.""I never thought Liam would lead a double life."I sighed."Neither did I. He seemed so sincere when he was with me, but I guess he's a perfect liar.""Are we not going to the party t

    "There are a lot of handsome guys."I laughed."I see that.""And to think Theo would be here.""Calm down, Maia. Theo still has time to come to the university.""I know, I hope he comes around. You know, I'm starting to think that if the girl is at the university and Theo didn't want to come... it might be because she's not here.""And you're just telling me this now.""We're already here."We climbed the stairs until we reached the administration office."Hello, good afternoon. I'm looking for my friend CB."The secretary looked at us strangely. She was just a very young girl."CB?""Yes, she's my friend's cousin. She came from out of town, and we want to surprise her. We call her that out of affection; those are her initials: CB. I don't know if you can find her by her last name.""Let me try. There's a long list of girls with the initials CB.""Layla! There are two boys arguing in the yard. Come quickly, please," a blonde girl approached the secretary."What? Girls, wait here." Th

    "Where did you go?" Maia was sipping her juice. I sat down next to her with my untouched lunch."I stayed in the bathroom.""How's your foot? When I looked for you, you were gone, so I came here alone.""It's fine, don't worry." I took a sip of my juice."Are we going to the university today?""Today? I don't think we'll have time.""Where are you planning to go?" Liam appeared behind me and sat down next to me."Umm... am I intruding?""Not at all, Maia.""We hardly talk, Maia, but now that Cristine and I are dating, I hope that changes."Maia smiled."You're dating? Cristine hadn't told me anything! Congratulations.""I hadn't had the time to tell you.""Do you mind if some friends join us?""Who?""Them.""Oh, the ones you had trouble with Kaleb the first time.""Yes.""No problem."Liam signaled to his friends to come to our table. They sat with us. The guys were serious like Liam and wore black jackets."This is Junior and his brother Jeremías.""Nice to meet you.""Hi, I'm Maia.
