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
Zoey's POV We both drank for over an hour but I was still sober. Hayden kept blabbering like a true drunkard which was actually entertaining. I looked around the club to see a few people around and some silly couples dragging their feets to the different staircase leading to their reserved rooms. "Don't worry about your mate. I am here for you," I told him after we had emptied a jar of beer. He glanced at me and nodded. "Ma'am," the waiter called, leaning forward. "Yes?" "Um, I don't know if you both are staying here but, we will be closing soon," he informed. I glanced at my wristwatch. It was past twelve thirty, midnight for a nice time. I beckoned to the waiter to come and he walked over to me. "Can I get a room? Any nice room available?" He nodded. "I will go get it ready…" "Just fill our empty jar first. Excuse me," I said, suddenly standing up. "Hey winsome, I will be back," I said to Hayden and pecked his cheek before leaving. I rushed back to the room where I had e
Kathrina's POV The rays of the sunlight passing through the light curtains made me wake up with a frown in the morning.Realizing I wasn't in my home, I quickly jerked up and grabbed my phone on the bed.I left the room and met Aunt Miranda setting the table, probably for breakfast."Good morning, Aunt," I greeted as she lifted up her head and saw me by the hallway."Dear, good morning," she said and walked up to me. "Hope you had a great night rest?""Yes. Thanks so much for letting me sleepover," I appreciated. She waved."C'mon, you're free to come over if you want to and pass the night here. I've got no problem with that.""Okay. I will be leaving now.""Oh. You're not going to wait a little bit and have breakfast with us?""Um, I would love to…""The food is going to be ready in a few minutes, you know," she said, trying to persuade me."Yeah. But, I actually wanted to have breakfast with my family.""O, fine. That's still fine. Just promise you would come over next time and hav
Rylan POVI yawned, stretching as I woke up. I walked to the bathroom to pee."Rylan,' I heard my mom calling from the room. "Are you in the bathroom, son?""Yes mom," I answered."Come out for breakfast." She said and left before I could ask if Kathrina had woken up.I walked to the dining room after brushing my teeth. It was already past nine."You woke up a bit late today," my mom said as I took my seat. I placed my phone by my plate on the table."Yes. You didn't have breakfast already?""Hm. I was waiting for you. You know I don't eat alone when you are around," she said as she dished some food to my plate.I stared back at the living room."Where's she?""Who?""Kathrina. Is the cat still asleep?""No. She left a while ago," my mom said and I sighed. "Were you hoping to have breakfast with her?""Me? I care less," I said and shrugged."What a petty liar," I heard my mom muttering and I chuckled."Now…she knows about who you really are.""Yes. I told you that already," I paused
Hayden POVI woke up only to find myself half naked in an unrecognized room. I climbed out of the bed, dazed.I ran my eyes around and grabbed my shirt on the floor. Sitting down on the bed to properly re-tie my shoe lace, I saw a locket laying by the bed.I picked it and held it up. It's not mine. How is it here? Who brought me here? This might belong to the person who brought me here.I opened the locket which revealed the innocent face of a girl. Who is she? I don't remember seeing someone with this face last night.I had driven down the club to drink away my worries and I can't even recollect how I got boozy and ended up here. It seemed like I'd lost all the memories of last night.I heard a knock on the door and arose as a guy who looked like a janitor walked in."Good morning sir, I'm here to clean the room," he said politely. I glanced down at his right arm rolled up sleeves and saw a dressed wound."What happened to your arm?" I asked a bit curiously."I don't know," he said c
Kathrina POV.After seeing the message of Hayden after mathematics class, Kathrina went to the female restroom with Lita."Honestly, I can't really digest what you told me on our way to school," Lita said, walking out of one of the toilets as Kathrina leaned against the lavatory."So now it turns out Hayden is a wolf too. What the heck, girl." She sighed as she turned on the tap."Well…it's true. I just don't know what to say about it," I simply said, folding my arms."What are you going to do? Would you guys talk things out?""We ought to but Hayden sent a message. He won't be coming to school today. He said we should meet up after school.""And you?""I'm thinking of going straight to his place and giving him a chance to explain.""Hm. That's good. You really are the most thoughtful and sensitive girlfriend in the world, babe.""Don't flatter me.""I'm not. Anyways, Hayden deserves a second chance I think, right?""Maybe, Lita."She nodded her head."So where did you spend the night
Rayana POV I was at the river bank located at the end of the city, throwing pebbles into the water.The pebbles in my hand were finished and I bent to gather some pebbles around.I heard indistinct ruffles and sensed someone was emerging. Heck, could it be Skye? I slowly arose and threw a pebble into the water, preparing myself to face whoever it might be."A she-wolf from the bloodline at this place throwing pebbles into water, that's not fine," I heard a familiar masculine voice.I spun and saw the recognized face. Xander. He walked up to me and smiled."So, it's you, Rayana? We meet again," he said and I shrugged."You are the least person I expected to see. What's a blockhead like you doing here?" I asked, feigning annoyance."Too bad. I thought you'd be polite this time. It seems it's your forte; impoliteness.""Get outta here. I don't need someone to upset me the more,``I said and spun."So, someone is upset. Quite unfortunate," he said as he came and stood next to me"What's t
Rylan POV"Where have you been?" I asked Xander in the night an hour after I had returned to the packhouse.I hadn't seen him when I arrived. And I tried reaching out to him earlier through mindlink but to no avail."I was in the city," he said as we walked into my office. He took the seat before the table and crossed his legs."Busy feeding?" I asked with a smile."No. I actually saw…Rayana by the river bank…""I guess she kept you busy," I cut in. "That's why I wasn't able to reach you. What's your thing with Rayana?""Nothing. We almost made out today," he said, forcing me to squint. "What? You guys had sex?!" I asked with raised eyebrows."No. Rayana desperately wanted that though," he said,unwillingly. Xander couldn't just keep things from me.I exhaled and sat down on my seat."How did you guys almost do it?" I asked and scratched the back of my head."You want some tips to try out with your mate,hmm?" He indirectly teased me. Seeing my stern expression, he cleared his throat a
