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
Hayden POVI stared at Rylan in disbelief. There's no fucking way Kathrina can be mated to him."You don't believe it?" He asked and laughed. "You're lying, you piece of shit!" I groaned."The moon goddess knows I'm not," he said with a nasty smile on his face."What?""Kathrina is fated to you and I. So, what are you going to do about it?""I know quite well what to do. You fucking stay off Kathrina, okay?"He chuckled and skidded his hand into his pockets."Let's be honest now, you know I always do whatever I'm asked not to do, Hayden.""Meaning?""I've got every right to Kathrina as well. And I'm definitely promising you that…I won't stay away from her."I growled and grabbed his shirt."You want to test my patience, hm? Don't push me farther or you might end up like your brother, Joe.""Get back!" He yelled and pushed me back making me stumble."You mention my brother's name once again and I won't hesitate to send you to the other side," he promised.I sneered and regained my foo
Hayden POV"What? Kathrina is also fated to Rylan?!" Skye asked in disbelief after I told him everything upon returning to the packhouse."Yes. He told me himself," I said as I walked into my office with Skye following me behind."This is ridiculous. Kathrina is also fated to that jerk," Skye scoffed as he sat down."I'm really pissed off now. I engaged in a brawl with him, you know. I wished I could kill the jerk right there in school and dispose of his corpse without being found…""Really, because his mate is also your mate? That's horrible," Rayana's voice was heard as she strutted through the door."Too bad for you, dear brother," she pouted as she slumped on the couch."Rayana! Just stop fucking eavesdropping!" Skye growled, turning to her."Woa, it's my habit," Rayana shrugged and giggled."That habit is damn bad," Skye reprimanded."It's not like Hayden was going to tell me about it anyway, so…" she paused as I sat down. "How do you feel now, Hayden? Furious at Rylan or disappo
Kathrina POV"I'm yo-your what? Mate?" I asked Hayden and he nodded."You're bond to me. It's been predestined.""Pre- what? Heck, I really don't get it, Hayden," I said and heaved a sigh of confusion."Wait, so you want me to stay away from Rylan because I'm your…mate?" I asked."Yes. You need to do that and…"He paused and I saw something like a quick glow in his eyes."Excuse me," he said and turned around. "Yes…I'm on my way…stall their leaving…we would talk better later," Hayden said technically to no one around.Who was he conversing with? I glanced at his phone tucked in the back of his jeans pocket."I'm sorry," he said as he spun. "I …""Who were you talking to?" I asked damn inquisitively."I was mindlinking…""Hey, hold it, please," i cut in and chuckled, getting more confused. "Mindlinking? What's that?""It's an ability a pack has to talk with each other without using an electronic aid."" I am still…dazed."" Loo, let's talk later. I need to leave. I will see you tomorr
