Kathrina POVHello," he said to Lita and returned his gaze to me."So, we meet again?" I asked a bit surprised."Hm. Like I said the other day," he said."What are you doing here?""Obviously, to see you," he said and chuckled."Why do you want to see me?""To talk to you," he said and I folded my arms, tilting my head. "And_" he stared at Lita "_in private, actually.""You want to talk to me in private?" He nodded. "If you don't mind…in my car. Let's talk there.""Okay." Taking a step forward, Lita grabbed my arm and pulled me back."Are you just going to speak to a stranger?" She asked in a whisper."Lita, he…""He may look nice but I don't trust him," she said and I glanced back at Xander who chuckled."Don't worry, he's not a bad guy and certainly not a stranger. I know him.""Hm. Okay. I thought otherwise," she said and let go of my arm.I walked behind Xander to his car and we both got in."So now, what do you want to say?" I asked, staring out through the windscreen."You…are
Rylan POVI can't believe Kathrina would still think so despicable of me. As I drove down the road, heading to the packhouse, Xander reached out to me through mindlink."What's it Xander?""Nothing…hey are you okay?" He asked, forcing me to groan. How could I really be okay now?"I'm not. I am really upset now and I feel like I would explode," I plainly said, taking a turn."What happened? Is about Kathrina?" He asked. I didn't say a word."Only she is able to put you in that mood, right…?""She thinks of me as a monster,can you believe that?!""Oh, man. Really?""I heard her talking to her friend_" chuckles and takes a turn "_She thinks Hayden is the world's best guy.""Maybe she didn't mean to hurt you by saying anything derogatory. Trust me. Yeah, I've just had a conversation with her twice but she doesn't seem like that sort of girl who would deliberately want to hurt someone with their words…""Wait…you've talked to her twice? How?""Well, I stopped by Grace Hood High this mornin
Kathrina POVI tried talking things out with Rylan for days but to no avail. He always ignores my calls and acts like I'm invisible whenever I show up in front of me.Couldn't celebrate our hundred days anniversary with Hayden because he said he was preoccupied that Saturday so we should move the celebration to another day next week. Like that wasn't much of a bad thing happening for me, I don't know why but I just had some sleepless nights, thinking how bad I must have hurt Rylan the previous week.Mom almost yelled at me again when I told her that Rylan and I aren't all that close again. I know she wants us to be since she's fond of Miranda.But that wasn't what made me decide to pay Rylan a visit the next day after school hours. I hadn't seen him in school that day so I decided to clear the air between us, hoping he would give me a listening ear this time."Hey, Kathrina," Aunt Miranda said with a broad smile when she saw me, stepping down the porch."Good afternoon, Aunt," I said
Hayden POV Rayana had woken me up from my nap this evening to talk gibberish and irk me because I spoke to mom on giving a restriction order so she doesn't get to leave the pack easily as she usually does. Hearing her mention Kathrina's name when she was about to step out from my house the very minute she opened the door, I rushed next to her to really see Kathrina. She stared at me with an expression I couldn't make out. I just hoped in my mind that she actually didn't hear a thing but her quietness said otherwise. "Hey, you're here?" I asked her and motioned to Rayana to leave. As Rayana left, I stepped out, closing the door behind. "Kathrina…what did you hear?" I asked her curiously. "I heard…everything. Everything," she said calmly. "Kathrina, I'm sorry," I said and attempted to touch her. "Don't touch me, RYLAN!" She bawled. "Kathrina." "You kept such a big thing a secret from me? For months?!" "I never intended to. Please hear me out. I'm sorry. I thought…it would be
Kathrina POVI stared at the door of Rylan's house not knowing what to do next. I had thought of going over to lita's place but I ended up coming here.I just didn't want to go home looking all pathetic. I was about to knock when the door opened. Mrs Miranda showed up."Hey, dear," she said, smiling as usual. I tried to force a smile but failed and sniffed instead."Are you okay?" She asked me as a drop of tears flowed down my face. I quickly wiped it away with my sleeves and nodded."But…""Who's there mom?" I heard Rylan asked from inside before he showed up behind his mother at the door."Kathrina, you're here?" He asked me surprisingly. I felt so stupid because I couldn't utter a word but nodded like a dummy as I tried fighting back my tears."Um, maybe I will…just excuse you guys," Mrs Miranda said and went inside in hesitation, leaving the door open."You…want to come in?" Rylan asked and I shook my head. He squinted and closed the door behind.He gestured at the porch swing and
Hayden POV "Did you find her?" Skye asked me later through the mindlink while I was driving back to Kathrina's house. I had informed him earlier about the whole issue before driving round the town in search of Kathrina. "I didn't. I've searched almost everywhere in lake town. I couldn't find her." Sensing the tensity in my voice, he tried to ease me. "Calm down, Hayden. Just calm down…" "Calm down?! I'm looking crazingly for my MATE! I have no idea where she is. What if she's mistakenly entered the city? You know she won't survive for an hour if she has already crossed the neutral territory, don't you?!" "I do." "And you want me to calm down! You must be out of your mind, pal," I said, increasing my speed. "Should I come over and search for her with some of our wolves?" "No. Stay in the city. I will find my mate myself. Just help do me one thing." "Sure. What?" "Check the whole City plus the neutral territory to see if she's around there." "Copy, alpha," he said and cut hi
Zoey POV "You're not going out tonight, Zoey!" I heard Caroline yelling from the kitchen. My lips curled into a smile as I applied a red shade lipstick on my full heart shaped lips. I arose and whirled in front of the mirror, checking myself out. As always, I was looking hot to kill. In a black body hug nylon gown, ripped by my sides, exposing my seductive body with a pair of brown heels, I looked ready as ever. I had my hair curled to perfection earlier today and as it bounced fluffily when I shook my head, I giggled and grabbed my bag on my bed. "You're fucking kidding me if you're going out tonight," Caroline said when I walked into the living room. "Well, I'm not," I said, smiling to piss her off. "Zzzoooeeey!" She groaned as she walked up to me. "Are you crazy?" "Hey, no. I'm just stepping into the nearby town to check out some super casanovas." "No. I'm not letting a mad vampire step into a town and take down most guys in a bar," she said and I flicked her a glare. "Oka
Kathrina POVI slowly opened my eyes later in the night after unknowingly drifting to sleep after I spoke to my dad on the phone.I took my phone by my side on the bed to check the time. It was saying five minutes past twelve and I glanced at the table clock on Rylan's cupboard by the bed which said the same thing.I crawled out of the bed feeling thirsty. I slowly opened the door not to cause a noise seeing everywhere was quiet and I guessed no one was awake.I walked gently into the kitchen by the hallway and flicked on the light. I glanced back at the dark living room before walking up to the refrigerator.I grabbed a bottle of water and took a glass. I filled it and took a sip of the water. Going over to one of the stools by the countertop, I sat down, backing the kitchen door.Now gulping down the water, I heard a slight noise then I froze as the hair in my skin erected.Sensing someone was around and probably standing a few inches away from me, I slowly arose. I glanced at the
