-MILA-I was released from the hospital and was just busy unlocking the door when I felt a heavy hand on my shoulder.I turned to see Lobo."Lobo, what are you doing here?" I asked in surprise, I wasn't expecting to see him."How are you feeling? I wanted to come by the hospital, but..." He trailed off, shaking his head."But?" A small part of me wondered why I was asking this. Why did any of this matter to me?"But, my brother made it very clear that he doesn't want me near you.""Right," I looked down at the keys in my hand, "Look, Lobo, you know that I am pretty much terrified of you. But, all of that aside, I really do appreciate the fact that you've been there both times when I needed you. I could have been dead if it wasn't for you. So, thank you." When I looked up at him I was surprised at the intensity in his gaze as he stared back at me."I realize that I probably shouldn't be here right now either," he frowned, "I just wanted to make sure you're okay.""Thank you." I watche
-MILA-I sipped on the coffee Selene handed me."So, what, you think he's cheating on you?"I shrugged, "Maybe. They seemed a little guilty of something.""Maybe you should try and ask him. See how he reacts?" She suggested as she took a seat with her coffee cup in her hands."Maybe. But right now, I'm focused on something else," I paused as I tried to find the right words, "I want to look into these murders that have been happening."Selene's eyes widened, "What?" She leaned forward in suspense, "Why would you want to do that? That's dangerous. What if the killer finds out and comes after you?""I've already found some stuff out. Like that one of the victims seems to have a connection with a lycan who could very well be the murderer. She was dating a Lycan.""Did your accident have anything to do with this new hobby of yours?"I shook my head, "No. I was driving and I got this intense pain in my head. The car swerved and I guess I lost control of it.""This is dangerous, Mila. I don'
-MILA-I sent Selene a text to check on her, she was on her way to her date with Lobo.I was sitting in my new car parked outside the house of one of the victims.Seeing as I didn't have much luck speaking to Bianca's mother, I was trying to come up with another plan of action for this victim.I chewed on my thumbnail as I stared at the house trying to think of something that would make the victim's parents give me any sort of answers.With a final check of my phone, I got out of my car and made my way over to the house."Okay, you've got this. Come on." I gave myself a brief pep talk as I walked up the steps."Hello?" The door opened before I even reached it, but I had expected the victim's parents to open the door.Instead, a young woman around my own age stared back at me."Uh, hi. I'm so sorry to bother you. I'm looking for the family of Victoria Barnes.""Yes? She was my sister. Can I help you?""Uh, well, firstly I want to express my deepest condolences for your loss. And second
-MILA-I tapped my nails on the steering wheel in annoyance.I looked down at my phone resting in my lap. I wanted to check on Lobo, but I knew I shouldn't.I pulled the car over and stopped.Without giving myself any time to back out of it, I dialed Lobo's number."Lala?" Lobo's voice sounded a little out of breath, "I'm sort of in the middle of something.""Oh, uh, sorry. I just wanted to check on you. Are you okay?""I'm fine. Why are you calling me?""I just told you, I called to check on you.""Don't. I'm no concern of yours. Worry about your boyfriend. Forget about me, and stay away from me. Got it?" He hung up and I was left shocked.I was also left feeling a lot more hurt than I would have liked to admit.With a sigh, I go out of the car and went into the nearest coffee shop to get an iced latte.I couldn't wrap my head around the way Lobo had reacted. It was the complete opposite of how he had been towards me the night before.I was feeling like a complete idiot for even try
-MILA-"What's wrong?" Selene screamed in my ear.I shook my head, I didn't feel much like telling her what the bartender had told me.I wasn't quite ready to admit that Lobo may have had some involvement in the murders.She shimmied her way onto the dance floor while I stayed near the bar. My mind was racing over the new information I learned and I wasn't sure how to process it."What are you doing here?"I spun to see Lobo glowering down at me. I remained silent but yelped when he grabbed my upper arm and pulled me away."What are you doing? Let go of me!"He shoved me into a wall in the hallway leading to the toilets. It was a lot less noisy here."What are you doing here?" He repeated."I came out with Selene. Not that I need to explain myself to you."He looked back towards the club before turning to me again, "This place is not the sort of place you want to be in. It's not safe.""Really?" I placed my hands on my hips, "Is that it? Or are you worried that I'll find out you were
-MILA-After yet another lecture from Lowell, I went to sleep.But I woke up when it was still dark out. I took a shower and got dressed. I couldn't fall back to sleep no matter how much I tried to. I sent Lobo a text before getting into my car. I had been thinking over what he said about his mate and wondered what he meant when he said he had found his mate. But I couldn't worry about that all day so I let him know where I was going to be in case something went wrong.I was going to inspect the wooded area where the bodies turned up.By logic, it was a stupid idea, but I wasn't focussing on logic. I needed to find out if Lobo was actually the killer before Selene got herself too involved with him.I would hate if something happened to her, she was my best friend for so many years. We were practically family now. By the time I pulled up at the woods, the sun was beginning to rise.I tucked my phone into my pocket and locked my car.It was a little chilly out, so I was glad I was wea
-MILA-"Where are you going all dressed up?" Lowell asked as he walked into the room.I was standing in front of the mirror fluffing my hair up."I'm not even dressed up, babe." I was wearing black jeans, a grey tank, and a black jacket. "You're wearing make-up." He pointed out."Yeah, I'm going out with Selene. But it's nothing major, just a little get-together."He nodded but I could see the suspicion in his eyes. I turned to him, "What is it? You don't look too happy about this.""I'm not," he leaned against the door frame, "It feels like we barely spend any time together these days. I miss us, you know?"I sighed and went over to rest my hands on his shoulders, "I know what you mean. I could stay home with you tonight?"He shook his head, "No, I have to go in to work. Maybe we can do something this weekend? We need to spend more time together.""I'd like that," I said with a smile.He kissed me softly on my cheek, "Have fun tonight. But be careful."I nodded before walking out.
-MILA-I jumped to my feet, almost falling over as I put distance between us."Lobo... I can't." Even as I spoke the words it was difficult for me to stop myself.It was a rather strange feeling, logically I knew this was wrong, but it felt right in my soul.Lobo got to his feet, "You're right. I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me." He looked a little awkward and embarrassed."I should go." But I couldn't find the will to make my feet move. The invisible pull was back, keeping me in my spot."Lobo, what is going on? What is this feeling?"He looked surprised, "You feel it?"I nodded, "Yeah, well, I feel something. What is it?"He looked down, but I got a split second to see what looked like fear flitter across his face, "Nothing. It's nothing. Go home." He pushed passed me as he walked away. I stared at the alter feeling strange and upset. My heart was hurting.I sighed and walked over to it, I wasn't sure what the process was, so I crouched down in front of it.Reaching a hand
