Kathrina POVNow, honestly,my last wish seemed to happen way faster than I had imagined. Lie? Maybe. I couldn't believe it for a while. I thought I could enjoy myself a bit without Hayden and not having to meet Rylan then return home after the party. "You mind taking your hands off my chest," he said and then it dawned on me that my hands were still placed on his chest as I stared at him.I pushed him back, taking my hands of his cheat and he laughed.Seeing him now made my expression turn grim."Hey, chill. I don't bite in public," he teased me, smirking. I felt like giving him a punch straight to his stupid nose."Whatever, I don't care and you know why?" I put on my bold look. "It's because I don't fear a stupid dick, like you."He let out a despiteful chuckle and leaned forward."Okay. We will see to that," he whispered with gritted teeth.I clenched a handful of my gown, resisting the urge to slap him so hard across the face as I glared at him."Just enjoy the party…for now," he
Rylan POVWhy isn't she moving or attempting to come out of the water? I thought to myself as I hid in the darkness watching Kathrina after she fell into the water.'I've got nyctophobia…' hearing those words earlier had struck me. I never knew she was nyctophobic neither do I know she had a phobia.Could it be that she has…"Lita! Kathrina is unconscious in the pool!!!" The yell of Max confirmed my thoughts and I flicked a glance at him as he ran into the house.Fuck, the fool didn't even brought her out of the water first before calling out to her friend.You've got to save her now, Red groaned inside me anxiously. Yes. I have to. She's still my mate.Taking some steps forward, I stopped and hid behind some flowers, the darkness rendering me unnoticeable as I saw some people rushing out from the inside."Kathrina!" Lita screamed as she ran to the edge of the pool and jumped into it to save her friend. I watched as Max got into the water and carried Kathrina out.Laying her on the gr
Kathrina POVSlowly, I opened my eyes and glanced around. Goodness me, where am I? I asked myself in my mind. By the strange smell, it dawned on me some seconds later that I was in the hospital. But, why am I in the hospital?I glanced at my right to see Lita seated next to me on a chair, her head buried in her palms."Lita," I called."Hmm." She jerked up her head and stared at me wide-eyed. "You're awake?" She pulled her chair closer and sighed."Obviously. What happened?" I asked. "Where am I?" I asked her to confirm if my thought was correct."I should be asking you the first question. And the answer to the second question is that you're in the hospital. Don't tell me it isn't obvious."I glanced around and nodded."What happened, Kathy? We found you at the pool unconscious." I looked aside as it flashed in my mind how I had rushed out of the storeroom, making me remember what happened. "Well…please don't tell me you informed my mom about this?" I asked, ignoring her question.
Kathrina POV I walked straight to school the next morning after dropping by Lita's house. She had already left quite early before me.Almost reaching the school,my phone beeped. I took it out of my pocket. It was a message from Hayden.How're you doing sunshine?, his text said.I smiled and stopped in front of a sweet stall.I'm good. I replied.Are you at school already? I asked quickly.Yes. Waiting for you at the back of the school by the fence, he texted.Let's meet up there, he said.Sure, on my way, I texted.Passing the front of the school building, I got Lita's message.Where are you? It said.I'm heading to meet Hayden by the fence. See you in class soon, I texted back.I increased my pace to the fence and smiled when I saw Hayden."Kathrina," he muttered and hugged me."Are you alright?" He asked."Maybe I will get all better after a kiss," I said, grinning. He chuckled and cupped my face as I peered into his glittering charming hazel eyes. He brought down his head and pre
Hayden POV I didn't get a chance to explain myself to Kathrina during lunch break. Knowing Lita is a bit upset with me after having a misconception about me, I couldn't walk up to their table and talk to Kathrina.I sent a message to her and told her to meet up with me at the same spot we met this morning after school hours.After school hours, Kathrina walked up to me by the fence."Hi," I said and she looked away."I really don't have much time to talk to you here, Hayden," she said, trying not to show her annoyance."I'm sorry, Kathrina," I apologized.She chuckled. "Sorry for what?""Um…""For not telling me what you used to be before we met or for actually keeping it from me after you promised me you won't hide things from me? Which of both?"I stared at her intensely, hoping she could see the regret in my eyes. "Kathrina.""Wait. Oh, I guess you're definitely apologizing for bullying Morley last spring, hm?""I had nothing to do with that. Yes, I had a freaking gang. I was the
Hayden POVI walked back to the parking lot in the school building and got into my car then drove straight to my pack.Coming to a halt at the border of my pack territory, I stared at Rayana and Skye who walked out of the forest."Hey, durling bro!" Rayana waved at me smiling when I got out of my car.I walked up to them and glared at Skye."I thought Rayana was restricted from leaving the pack territory. Why did you snick her out, Skye…?""Well…""Unrestrictively, I decided to walk around with the 'less busy Skye' today, " Rayana cut in. I squinted, bewildered."Mom lifted the ban some hours ago,"she added. I flicked a stare at Skye who obviously would have a hand in Rayana's liberty."Don't look at Skye, brother. At least, I now value him more than you. He's the only one who cares about my happiness. "Skye, what did you do?' I demanded an explanation from my beta."I only spoke to your mother to give Rayana back her freedom and promised I would keep a close eye on her.""Skye!""I'
Kathrina POVWhile we were getting closer to Lita's neighborhood, I decided to sort things out with her. She was quite quiet all through school hours so I wasn't able to talk to her about what happened this morning.The last thing I'm looking forward to is having to choose between my best friend and boyfriend on some occasions."You know…" I started, making Lita glance at me as if I was about to say something upsetting."I think you got it all wrong, Lita.""Hm?""About Hayden." She hissed looking away."Trust me when I say he has truly changed.""That's coming from you who just learnt about his past horrible self this morning," she said and shook her head."What did he tell you after school hours? That he's truly changed since he met you…?""Yes. And I believe him.""Oh, woa!""Rylan is responsible. I know that.""Yes, you know everything, Kathrina." She stopped walking and turned to face me."Look, it's okay if you don't believe me. Let's say Hayden has changed. But how certain are
Rylan POVFuck Hayden! I would have given him a taste of his own medicine if he wasn't just lucky. Rayana rushed in between to save his rotten ass.I don't mind engaging in a brawl with him in school premises. I care less about the school authorities. The worst that could happen if perhaps we were caught fighting is a week suspension or having to do some school cleaning for some days.I touched the corner of my lips and groaned as I felt the blood. I held up my right arm and dabbed the blood with the down of my sleeve. Hearing footsteps, I whirled and saw Kathrina stopping some inches away from me in the alley.She stared coldly at me, making me look around, thinking what was up with her. Mostly, I don't know why but I couldn't just stare back at her. Guilt? Fuck guilt.She kept staring at me for some minutes and getting upset, I took out my cigarette pack from my jacket pocket."Just get out of my face if you've got nothing to say," I told her as I took a stick of cigarette and pla
