"Uh,sorry," he apologized. "Are you okay?" He asked me again and I nodded. He smiled. His smile was actually contagious and I couldn't help it.
"Did they hurt you?"
"You showed up before they could. Thanks." He nodded.
"Kathrina!" I heard Morley hollered and darted my gaze to him and Monna running up to me.
"What happened to you?" Monna asked and froze as she stared at my savior.
"Hello," he waved at Monna who wasn't able to say a word to him for no reason known to me. Morley stood me up and glanced at my savior who still had a pleasant smile on his face.
"Let's go, Kathy." Morley and Monna grabbed my hand and pulled me along as they started walking fast before I could tell them about what happened. I stared back and caught him staring at me. He winked at me before I looked forward, trying hard not to blush.
"Geez, Kathrina! Why the hell were you with that dude?" Morley asked, red-faced when we stopped at the hallway. I opened my mouth to speak but closed it when I saw Lita walking up to me.
"Goodness, Lita, why the hell were you not with Kathrina?" Morley asked Lita when she reached us and I furrowed my brows, dazed.
"We were together a moment ago in the cafeteria before she excused herself."
"You wouldn't believe who we caught her with, Lita."
"Who, Mor?" Lita asked, obviously curious.
"Hayden." Lita squinted. "Hayden. McKenzie." Lita gasped and her jaw dropped.
What's wrong with you, Morley? You're sounding like you guys met me with an unpleasant person. He actually saved me a while ago before you guys showed up.
"Hayden, saved you?!" They asked in unison, surprised and I nodded.
"Woa, you've got a lot of explanations for us later, Kathrina. Me and Monna gotta go now. Miss Crumb, the chemistry teacher, is waiting for us." And with that, Morley and Monna left. I wonder what's wrong with them.
"Let's go to class so we can talk better," Lita said and pulled me to our classroom.
"Now, fill me up with what happened," Lita said, impatiently the moment we walked into the class. We took our seats situated in the middle of the classroom and I tucked my hair behind. I glanced at a circle of girls chatting at the back of the class and told her what happened.
"Hayden saved you!!!" Lita yelled, jerking up to her feet. I was startled. I looked at some of our mates in the class whose gaze was on us and grabbed Lita's hand, gently,I pulled her down to her seat, cringing.
"Lita, what's wrong with you?"
"I think I'm alright but you don't seem to be
because it seems like you've been swayed by that guy's good act." I squinted.
"Look,you need to stay away from Hayden. He's bad news."
"Why?"
"He's manipulative but still most girls are head over heels for him." She bent her face closer to me and whispered. "He is strange. He is a mysterious guy."
That's all?"
"Rumors have it that he's a different being though I don't believe it." I rolled my eyes and shrugged. My savior, Hayden, didn't seem like a bad guy at all. But the strange sensation I had when he touched me…
I can't explain.
"You've been away for over a year so you probably won't know a thing about him but he is weird. His aura is weird,his demeanor sends chills down the spines of some of the students for no explainable reason at all." I sighed and looked away after Lita told me about Hayden.
"Just stay away from him," Lita said before standing up. "I'll go grab my book in the locker for the next class." She exhaled and headed down to her locker.
After school, Lita and I headed home, a few meters behind Morley and Monna who were chatting loudly with two girls.The hair on my skin erected, like it always does when I felt someone was watching me. I became less attentive to what Lita was telling me and I took a quick look back but couldn't catch a glimpse of anyone. I glanced at the trees rumbling and exhaled. Maybe it was a rabbit there.Gosh, I could be way paranoid for nothing. No one is probably going to be watching me. Yeah, I'm no one.
"Hey, are you with me?" Lita asked and I looked forward and nodded. She kept on talking as we walked down.
I bidded Lita goodbye when we reached her home and fastened my steps to catch up with Morley and Monna who were now talking alone. I wanted to get some information about my savior, Hayden.
"Hayden is in grade 12, Kathy," Morley told me when I asked him after coming in between them.
"He is... handsome," I muttered and Morley's eyes widened.
"He's exceptionally hot also," Monna added and giggled.
"I'm not surprised to hear you say that,Monna,but," Morley paused and pointed at me. "You, Kathrina,you say he is handsome?"
I nodded. "Yes. So?"
"Darn it! You've eventually become one of those girls who fancy him. You've got a crush on him like Monna."
"No," I feebly objected, darting my eyes to the ground.
"Don't lie. I can see right through you. But,don't fall for him. He'll jinx your life. That's all I've got to say. I find the guy awful," Morley scoffed and started walking ahead of us.
"Monna?"
"Hmm?"
"Why do Lita and Morley consider Hayden to be..."
"Gosh, I know she probably had told you awful things about him too but trust me all are lies. People are just jealous of him. He's got this charisma that makes the school authority like him but I wonder why most students, especially the males, dislike him." She paused and chuckled.
"I guess it's because he is more handsome than them," she joked and Morley spun and stared at her. We both glanced at each other and stopped, trying too hard not to laugh at his laughable expression.
"What, Mor?" Monna asked, with puppy dog eyes.
"I really heard that, Monna. I can't believe you could spew such rubbish,"Morley said.
"Duhh, I was just kidding," Monna justified her words.
"But your humor sucks,"Morley said, feigning annoyance. Monna glanced at me and we both bursted into laughter.
"Geez, you girls are really annoying and intolerable."He groaned and walked on, mumbling.
"Kathrina, I'll tell you something more about Hayden," Monna said and I nodded.
"He has got a sister, she's in grade 11,yes, your classmate but I bet you haven't seen her today because she hasn't been in school for quite some time now. And there's also another winsome you've not seen yet." I furrowed my brows and she smiled.
"He's been away for quite some time too,but I don't know much about him."
"Does Hayden have...a girlfriend?" I asked and Monna gazed at me wide-eyed.
"C'mon, take it easy,sis. You don't need to be in a hurry. He's got no girlfriends; but…
He has many admirers and lots of girls crushing on him. And, trust me when I say this,they won't think twice before pouncing or tormenting any girl who makes advances at him or claims him. Stay clear." Monna warned and fastened her pace to catch up with Morley. What a great informant. I don't care if some people consider him weird but I feel like…
I'm anomalously getting attracted to him.

Hayden POVHaving sneaked out of school this morning during the first class to attend an urgent meeting Skye, my beta had urged me to attend through a mind link. I sought to travel quickly to the packhouse. It was distant, roughly five miles, and I left quickly before any fucking human would notice.Upon returning, the old baddie, the gatekeeper, caught me sneaking in. Fuck! My luck was not so good this time."Hey!" He called. I had to go to him."Did you sneak out?!" He asked, with furrowed brows."I didn't," I denied. His face changed, like he smelt something. Yeah, something, something like suspicious words."You did. If not, why do you appear now?" He asked. I was beginning to get irritated. I intuitively went to him. I maintained strong eye contact with him, while he stared into my eyes like a fool . Aiden, my wolf howled inside me. He wanted to control his mind, but that was not possible. I plunged my lips closer to his earlobes."It is consequent, do not tell on me," I said aut

Hayden POV I took some days secretly watching my mate and gathered some information about her, plus where she lives with her parents and twin siblings. I sometimes see her seeming lost during a class and the few times I get to catch a glimpse of her smiling or laughing,those were the best moments for me. She was beautiful and her beauty radiates whenever she smiles and quite strangely,my lips happen to curl into a smile when I see her smiling and it quickly vanishes whenever I sense someone was definitely watching me. Aiden couldn't stop acting restless whenever he perceived her scent. He kept howling inside me and trying to get me to go talk to her and that I finally decided to do during a lunch break. I had walked into the cafeteria and my eyes caught her. She was seated at the middle of the table. My lips parted in excitement just by catching a glimpse of her. Go get her! Aiden echoed in my mind pushing me to start walking up to her. He really is quite impatient. Almost

Kathrina POVI hid my annoyance when the bell was tolled to call off the lunch break. They really need to extend the lunch break. For crying out loud, thirty minutes is a bloody short time for lunch break. "Hey, Kathrina!" Lita's voice echoed in the cafeteria which had been emptied in the wink of an incense. I turned to stare at her running up to me with her bouncy curls. She had left me earlier before Hayden came because she had something important to do."Why are you still here? Lunch break is over and…"she paused as she stared at Hayden."Hello," he waved at her and Lita smiled and I knew it was fake."Hi," she said before darting her curious gaze to me. "Mrs Hall asked us all to assemble in the art room." I nodded and stood up."How about we continue our discussion after school?" I asked Hayden, ignoring Lita's stunned expression."That would be great," Hayden said."See you after school then." I held Lita's arm and we both left. After that day, I and Hayden became friends and s

Hayden POVSavoring the lips of Kathrina, I sensed someone was watching us,so, I unintentionally broke the good moment and darted my gaze to the forest where my hunch said someone was probably hiding behind a fig or fallen branch."What's wrong?" Ignoring Kathrina's question, I glanced around hoping to catch a glimpse of a figure, wondering who could be watching us.I returned my gaze to her and inhaled deeply, trying to see if I could find out who the person was by figuring it's scent Webecause Aiden feels it's no human and so do I. It can't be Rayana trying to pull up a stunt now if maybe she already found out from Skye that I've found my mate but…"Hayden," Kathrina called as she held my face, making me return my focus to her."Yes?""What's wrong? What are you thinking about?""Um…it's…nothing," I said and forced a smile. "I'm sorry if I had startled you by breaking off from our nice moment." I pecked her lips and she chuckled."It's okay, boyfriend," she said and we both laughed

Rylan POVI walked into my office with my beta, Xander, behind and sneered at the sight of Jack, the alpha of the mystic moon pack whose border is just a kilometer away from the pack. "Hello, Rylan," he stated casually as I took my seat and flicked a glance at him. I growled and he chuckled."My bad, alpha Rylan," he corrected himself."The next time you address me with disrespect, I'm surely going to knock off your teeth and give it to your mates to feed on in place of meat," I threatened and I glanced at his fist on the table which he clenched. I bet he was upset now. I really would love to see him react so we can have a brawl then I'll surely rip off his head and fufil my long wish. Jack was my late uncle's friend. He was a sly crook which I detested for always licking my uncle's ass and buttering him most times with his sweet poisonous mouth. "Forgive my manners Rylan…alpha Rylan," Jack said and I smirked before staring at Xander standing few inches behind Jack."So, why do you

Hayden POV Rylan's last words made me a bit anxious. I was trying to find out what was on his mind or better still get an idea of what he was up to but it was a failure. Hayden is always good at hiding his feelings and that's the major scary reason. I can't believe he just dropped by to see me. "What did he say?" Skye asked, walking in. "Nothing," I said, taking my seat. "Did you get a hint of what was on his head?" "Nop. You know Hayden is a guru at covering his feelings. I couldn't see through him, Skye." I punched the table in frustration and sighed. "You seem anxious. What did he say?" "Let's forget about him. I won't let him get into my head." "You can't just look past Hayden. You know he's no good guy now. You need…" "I need to leave now." I stood up. "Off to where?" "School, man. My Kathrina is probably waiting to see me." "It's past 10am…" "No one will stop me from entering the school building." "The gatekeeper?" "I handled him the last time. He is terrified by

Kathrina POV I had lunch with Hayden during lunch break the next day. It was not really obvious we were actually dating because I had told him we should keep it low for the meantime. "What do you think when you hear the word 'werewolf', Lita?" I asked Lita. It was Monday and we just finished our history class before the bell was rung for lunch break. We were going to take our seats after grabbing our food. "Well," Lita said as we walked up to our favorite table which was empty and took our seats. "I really haven't heard anything about a werewolf before till today. Mr Jake said they're likely to exist, you know." My shoulders slumped and I sighed before looking around in search of Hayden. I haven't seen him since this morning. Lita noticed and asked. "Searching for someone?" I shook my head. "This morning's classes have been so boring. Our timetable should be changed. What did you think, Lita?" "It's quite fine. I really enjoyed the history class this morning." "Because Mr Jak

Rylan POV I had decided to return to Grace Hood High to give Hayden a shocking surprise because I know he probably would have thought that I was never going to come back for him let alone return to school. I jumped out from my Jeep and walked into the building with a smile on my face, so impatient to see Hayden. "Look, Rylan is back!" A girl yelled the moment I walked into the foyer and other girls bursting out from the hallway that led to the cafeteria and jogging down the stairs ran down to the foyer. I know most people would be shocked to see me. I thought about going to the head office where I could possibly find Mrs Pierce, the vice principal who I am sure would gladly welcome me with kisses for she was so fond of me but taking a step forward, I stopped as I felt my wolf stir-up, trying to come out. "What's gotten into you, Red?" I asked in a low tone as I turned, backing the students who were staring at me but he didn't reply. I could feel he was bothered. Maybe he wasn

Writer's POV Some days later, the Salvador family was having lunch at the dining room with Rylan seated next to his girlfriend, Kathrina and Caroline and Zita. Madlyn had invited them to come over to have lunch with them. They made jokes and chatted while having lunch round the table and Kathrina felt really happy. After dinner, Kathrina walked out with Rylan, his hand locked with hers, both walking behind Caroline and Zita."Guys, I'm leaving tonight," Zita said when they stepped on the lawn and they gave her a shocking expression."Why?" Kathrina asked."Hey, we never spoke about that," Caroline said, feigning annoyance. "Well, it's because…I've got no reason to stay back anymore. I could return to where I came from and carry on living my normal life.""You want to leave, for real?" Rylan asked in disbelief. "I remember you changing your mind a couple of times before.""I'm serious this time, Rylan. I'm leaving…""You're not leaving," a familiar voice said and they turned to see

I just wish Zita gets to spend more time with us.On a sunny morning, Rylan and I followed Mrs Fox's car behind then stopped at the town's entrance gate. She was leaving Laketown for good. I had no idea that she stayed back for two months after she got to know who I really was and about the demise of her daughter Lexie. I had got a call from her yesterday which made me so happy and I had told Rylan to follow me so we helped her pack her things and see her off at the entrance gate.When Rylan pulled over by the road behind her car, we got out and walked up to her leaning on her car."You know, I am happy I stayed for sometime. I was able to experience inner peace and happiness more than I had expected. Kathrina, I'm happy I got to know you and you made me be

Zita POVAfter Kathrina left that morning, I saw a big disappointment on Hayden's face. I don't know why but I felt pity for him. I couldn't help it but followed him to his place a few days later when I went to see Kathrina in their college.He happened to catch me and invited me into his house for a cup of tea."I wasn't expecting you'd follow me to my place. You're Zita, right?" He asked, u nodded as I took the cup of tea from him."Are you okay?""If you think I'm not, then you're right. I'm not going to act tough after I was rejected by my mate. It hurts. It's all my fault though.""I thought you wouldn't give up on her?""I was thinking about that too. Actually I had no intention of giving up on her before even when I knew she had hated me. But that day, when she rejected me, I saw the firmness in her gaze and knew she really had no feelings for me again. And when she took Rylan's hand and left with him, I knew I've lost her, forever.""So, what's your plans now?""Giving up. Sto

Kathrina POVThe next day, I went to Caroline's house and she said Zita was in the backyard at the river bank. I went there and saw her holding a small steel silver pot.I walked up to her and faked a cough, causing her to glance at me. "Hey, are you okay?" I asked her.She nodded and smiled. "It's still warm in here." I stared at the pot then it dawned to me what was in there. I looked up at her and she shook her head."That's Zoey's ashes?""Yeah. I was reluctant to throw it into the water. I'm happy you're here. I've gotten the strength to do what I want now."I chuckled. She opened the pot,dipped her hand into it and took a handful of ashes then threw them into the water. She did so till the pot was empty and dropped the pot in the water. We both watched the pot as it flowed on the water surface. "You know, Zoey was the only family member I had in the entire world," she said after a while. "Our parents are dead. We both left the vampire world because we didn't want to be bound t

Kathrina POV "Let's meet up tonight. Come alone and I'll spare your mother. You can send a message when you're done thinking about it. Your life in exchange for your mom's, sweetheart," Zoey said and hung up before I could say a word and I stared at them. "I'm going to meet her," I said to Caroline and quickly sent a message to Zoey, stating my agreement to her request. "Kathrina, going alone ti see Zoey is freaking risky," Caroline said. I shrugged. "I don't care…" "I'm coming with you," I heard Rylan said, almost yelling as he barged into the house. "No, Rylan. My mom's life is risk here. Zoey wants only me to come." "I knew this would happen someday. I won't let anything bad happen to either you or your mother, Kathrina." "Wait, how did you know that Kathrina had a problem?" Zita asked. "They are mates and their bond have grew stronger since something happened one certain night," I heard Caroline said to Zita in a whisper. "I felt you were in trouble, Kathrina," Rylan said

Kathrina POVSome days later, I returned home from school and while trying to make something to have for lunch, my mom got a call and I watched her go far away and answered the call. Since then, she started acting strange. Morley talked to me one day about it and he had observed that she's been getting a couple of strange calls from an unknown number. When I tried to talk to her about it, she said it's nothing.A week later, we were chatting and telling jokes in her Cafe when her mood changed to a gloom after her phone beeped and she glanced at the phone screen."Mom, are you okay?" I asked."Um, yeah. Why ask that?""You've been acting a little bit weird these days. Is there a problem?""Nah. It's just the little stress I face sometimes. You know handling the Cafe alone on some days when it's filled is not really easy peasy. But I do appreciate it when you guys do help out on the weekends, especially you, sweetheart.""Hm. But I've told you to get a sales girl. It would relieve you

Hayden POV I watched as my mate left, not wanting to accept me. I didn't know why she was so much acquainted with Rylan recently, but then, I knew that it wasn't going to be for long. It wasn't going to be for a long time before she came back to me. I knew that she wasn't going to be for long, and she was going to be mine once again. I was definitely sure of it. Kathrina's words, however, bore deep into my soul. While the fear gyrating around my core had me in place thinking for a moment that I would lose Kathy forever, I tried to shrug it off. It was like a hot dagger slicing through my skin, killing the morale and courage about the future of me and my mate, and it wouldn't stop tormenting me. He was having fun with her. My enemy. "I've told you Hayden , Kathy doesn't belong to you. She's mine, and mine alone," he said, with some vile smirk on his face. Oh how I wish Kathy could see this, then she'd know what kind of person she was looking forward to. "And what claims do you

Kathrina POVI opened my eyes a while ago, not knowing that some hours had passed. Caroline was in front of me. I looked beside me and saw Zoey. She was no longer in my body but looked just like Zita. I touched my face and Caroline walked up to me with a mirror."Congratulations," she said as I stared in awe at my face in the mirror. At last, I've gotten my face back. I'm now the real me. Kathrina. I turned to Zita after I stood up. She smiled at me. I glanced at Zoey. "What's going on with her?""She's unconscious. And she'll remain so till some time in the morning," Zita said."Thanks so much, Zita. I do appreciate what you've done for me," I said and pulled her into a hug. Then it dawned on me. I slowly turned to see Mrs Fox in front of the car. She walked up to me. "I saw it all…Kathrina," she said. She darted her eyes elsewhere and stared at her daughter's body. She walks to the body and wraps her arm around the body as she bursts into tears. I went to console her. I told her

Kathrina POVI stared blankly at him as he leaned forward to me. I was about to utter a word, to retaliate to his sudden action but I felt him pressed a button and my seat slightly went back. He did it again and chuckled when I gasped. I pulled up an irritated expression and he grabbed a bag from the back seat and placed it on my lap."What's this?""Check it out and change into it. I got some clothes ready which you could easily change into. I'm sure you've not added weight for over a year. You seemed to be on a diet when I saw you then.""Why should I change my clothes?""I'm taking you to your home. Your fake Mom might probably want to question you when she sees you in black clothes. I'm sure she has no idea that you attended your actual Dad's funeral.""She doesn't even know I've been lying and fooling her all this while." I sighed."You can simply tell her today. I know you're tired of lying to her," he said, peering into my eyes. I wondered how he could tell what I was feeling.
