Hayden POV

I 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!"

    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

    Kathrina POV"You must be kidding," Lita told me after I told her about what happened this morning as we walked up to an empty table during lunch break."You need proof, this is it." We sat down by the table and I stretched out my phone to her."Check the video." I tilted my head to my phone in her hand."Look, I…" she paused and shook her head as she tapped the screen of the phone to play the video.She lifted her now pale gaze to me some minutes later and sighed. She slided my phone on the table to my side."So? How's the proof?""I'm…sorry, Kathrina." She hung her head. "I really didn't mean to be unreasonably mean to Hayden yesterday.""You've been giving him a cold shoulder like you actually saw him locking me in that storeroom in Zoey's place.""My bad." She lifted up her head and sighed."Hm.""But…it's kind of confusing, you know," she said and I squinted, dazed."What?""Rylan said Hayden knows the reason why he was hounding you. Do you perhaps know about that?""Hey, the ps

    Rylan POVAfter returning thirty minutes after school hours to the school backyard and smoking a stick of cigarette, I headed out to the parking lot.I felt disturbed. Since this morning I couldn't feel myself after Kathrina chided. The harsh words of Kathrina kept piercing my heart and every moment her stern teary-like face flashed my mind, I bashed my fist on any hard surface.I had actually bashed my fist twice on my desk during the classes after lunch break, scaring the teachers and my classmates.Hayden and mouthed a cuss at me for that but I simply ignored him.Why are you like this? Do Kathrina words have an effect on you? I kept asking myself these questions in my mind. Kathrina's words had no effect on me, I finally told myself. I'm just pissed off as usual by her impertinent confrontation.And I'm just really upset this time because she slapped me and I couldn't retaliate.Lies! Lies! Lies!, Red growled inside me after coming to that conclusion.Reaching my jeep, I glanced

    Kathrina POV A week later, I've gotten over that horrible night and have been enjoying quite stress-free and peaceful days in school despite Hayden not being in school for some days.On a bright Saturday morning, I had snuck out of the house, taking Morley's bike to check out some places in the town as usual and I was first heading to see Lita when the bike broke down at the junction of my street. "Fuck, what the heck!" I groaned as I tried starting the bike but it didn't work.I got down and kicked the back tyre of the bike. I sighed, staring down the quiet street, hoping my mom wouldn't get to see me if she stared out through a window of her cafe.What am I going to do? Head to Lita's house by foot, which is actually possible and leave the bike here? No. Morley is going to be furious if he finds his bike broken down at the junction of the street.He's going to get out of the house soon and when he finds out I took his bike without his permission, the kid will yell at me and so wi

    Rylan POVAfter preparing to head back to the pack, I walked into the kitchen to grab a bottle 9f what and was awestruck by the stupefying scent which I quite recognize whose scent it was. My MATE."No, Kathrina can't be here," I said, dissipating what I had thought earlier. Kathrina can't be here. I shook my head in dissentment. I opened the refrigerator and grabbed a bottle of water.But the scent grew stronger the next few seconds and the bottle of water slipped off my grip when I heard footsteps mount the porch and I heard my mom's voice.Go see, it's Kathrina, Red urged, unwittingly provoking me.I walked out of the kitchen and stopped right in the middle of the living room."It can't be, Kathrina," I muttered to myself.How would you know that? Can't you perceive her scent, Red groaned."And how can you be certain she is?" I fired back at him. "She's got no wolf. She's a human and I wonder how you can be so sure of her presence when you can't connect with her wolf.""You're a

    Kathrina POV On Tuesday,at the cafeteria, I and Lita were talking as we had our lunch. "You know it's going to be hard?" Lita said, taking the last bite of her cheeseburger. "What?" She lifted her gloomy face and met my oblivious gaze. "The exams," she said and smiled. "Oh." "It's next two weeks, after spring break, forgotten?" "Oh? No," I said and chuckled. "You don't look troubled by it like me," she said and I shrugged. "Why?" I shook my head. "Are you a genius?" She asked sagaciously, making me lift my brows. "You know I'm not so intellectual." "Yes, I do. But your vague and calm attitude towards the upcoming final exams wants to make me believe you are an einstein." "I'm average. So why should I worry so much? I shouldn't start worrying myself about our exams now." "O,yes. Sure. You're only worried about your absent supposed-preoccupied boyfriend, Hayden," Lita teased and giggled. Seeing my expression turned grim, she stopped. "Um, I. Am. Sorry," she said and fa

    Kathrina POVI quickly freshened up and went to my mom's cafe and helped her to take care of some customers.After most customers left and there were only a few in the cafe, I walked up to my mom behind the counter."How did you know Mrs Miranda?" I asked her."It's been a few months," she said without looking up at me."Huh.""She's been a regular customer of mine. She comes here sometimes to patronize me," she said and glanced up at me."She's so friendly," she added, smiling."Okay.""How did you get to know her?""I helped her a few days ago. Her car broke down and I assisted her in taking some of her shopping bags to her house.""That's thoughtful of you," my mom said without smiling, making me frown."I know.""She's a lonely woman," my mom said as I turned to leave. I whirled to meet her pitiful gaze."What?""That's what she told me a week ago when she dropped by," my mom paused. "She always has this strange gloom most times she comes here. I think she's in grief.""I never no

    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

    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

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.
