Zoey POVMy heart almost bulged out as I walked out from the woods, taking off my hoodie. I walked over to my locket laying on the ground and picked it.I had secretly trailed Hayden down to his house a week ago and coming here this morning to catch a glimpse of him as I have been doing as a morning routine for days now, a stupid bitch showed up.Now I've seen the girl who my love's heart is entwined to. Kathrina, I finally had a clear view of her today.I've been stalking Hayden ever since that night I met him and I know he has got no idea of that. I never knew he had my locket.Since the day I left that guesthouse, I've been looking worriedly for my locket. I noticed it wasn't on my neck while I was having a nice shower that night and went back to the guest house but didn't find it in the room.When I hid behind a shrub in the woods and saw Hayden toss my locket like it was trash, I held back myself from darting over to Kathrina, grabbing her and tossing her like a worthless piece o
Kathrina POV I got down from my father's truck when he halted at the school parking lot and waved at him, saying 'goodbye, good luck, dad' till his truck was out of sight. I had spun, taking out my phone to check if Hayden had sent me a message this morning. My eyes were fixed on my phone screen and I didn't realize when I stumbled and went off balance. At the right second, someone grabbed my wrist, saving me from landing on the cemented ground with my butt. Gosh, that would have hurt. "You really are a problem walking zone," I heard a familiar voice growl. Recognizing whose voice it was, I lifted up my gaze to that of Rylan and flinched. "Don't act rude now, girl, I saved you from falling," he said and smirked. "I've really got the knack for saving ugly cats a lot, you know. It's quite unfortunate for me. "Screw you. And what the heck are you doing here? We are supposed to be having English for the first period today." "So?" "English. It's a general course, forgotten?" "I care
Kathrina POVI rushed Into the hallway that led to the boy's locker room. I guess that's the place Hayden must be to grab some books from his locker.I stopped halfway in the hallway when I caught sight of Hayden walking out from the locker room. He had nothing with him."Hayden," I called with a soft tone. He darted his eyes to me, standing by the locker room.He gave me a sour look. I took a step forward and sighed when he quickly started walking.I increased my pace the moment he took a right turn and when I saw him walking down the staircase that led to the male restroom, I stopped.He went into the restroom after glancing above his shoulder at me. I jogged down the stairs and without thinking it through for a second, I pushed open the door of the male's restroom and walked in."Geez," I heard some guys by my right, who were standing before the urinals, peeing, exclaimed."Holy fuck, this isn't the female restroom," I heard one groaned.I shifted my gaze to Hayden who stepped out
Hayden POV I drove straight to the packhouse fuming. I can't simply just overlook the annoying truth that my mate, Kathrina kisses that bastard, Rylan. Left alone for me, if I really had my way and Kathrina hadn't stepped in between to save that unlucky jerk, Rylan, I would have pulled out his tongue and fed it to the dogs. One day, I'm certain I will make Rylan pay for all the troubles he has caused me. And that day, not even Kathrina would be able to stop me. "They kissed?!" Skye asked in astonishment as he walked behind me to my room. I took off my coat and tossed it to my bed. "I knew why he did it." "Why?" "What else but to goad me? He's getting closer to my mate each passing day and she can't seem to stay away from him." "It's natural. Kathrina is also fated to Rylan, forgotten?" "I Know! But I'm going to do everything to break that bond. I will make her reject Rylan soon. I'm working on that." I heard a knock on my door and my mom walked in. "Skye, please give us a m
Kathrina POV I stared at the door after Hayden walked into the house and slammed the door closed. I've never seen him this angry. I couldn't understand why he is always upset. Rylan is my friend and what's the big deal there if I call him and wish him a happy birthday? I really felt disturbed after Lita called and informed me that today was Rylan's birthday. I recalled the day Rylan told me his birthday was around the corner which was some weeks back and jokingly asked me to get him a new bike as a birthday present. Hayden's birthday made me forget completely about Rylan's birthday. I never once thought that Rylan's birthday was the next day after Hayden's. I walked into the house and made a bowl of grits for myself. While eating in the kitchen, Hayden walked in. He was changed into new clothes and seemed composed. "It's quite hot today. I had a cold shower," he said, staring at me. I nodded and dropped my spoon. "You're going to eat that up?" He asked me as I grabbed a bottle
Kathrina POV"Gift? Why? Weren't you the birthday boy?""So? Can't the celebrant give a gift to his cranky friend?""That's insulting. I'm not cranky.""You are." And not giving me the chance to utter another word, she spun me and placed the necklace round my neck.I whirled, touching the star pendant with my thumb. It actually looked nice and I couldn't help it but to my smile, staring down at it."I guess you like it.""It looks pretty, I have to admit.""Yeah. More prettier on your neck," he complimented, making me dart my eyes to him."But, I didn't ask for a gift," I said, pulling a long face."Then you can trash it if you don't want to keep it. Stop making a fuss, Catty."I chuckled and looked away as he feigned annoyance."I'm going in now. You have this." I stretched out the cake to him."Feed it to me…please," he requested."Take it and eat. I don't necessarily have to feed it to you, you know.""It's more of a wish. So please grant my wish by feeding it to me."I rolled my e
Zoey POVI flew to the edge of the road and transformed back to my human self by the wink of an incense.I smiled as I stared down the silent narrow road and started walking up to the body which was lying next to the bike on the ground whose tires ceased to accelerate. I softly hummed as I reached the body and with a smirk, I squatted to take a good look at the person.Kathrina. At last, you met your fall in due time. I burst into laughter as I darted my eyes to the jeep whose bonnet was emitting smoke, slowly rising up to my feet.Earlier, I had strolled down to my heartbeat, Hayden's home from Caroline's home. I longed to see him this night before heading to an energizing club and engaging in my usual forever- exciting bloodsuckery activity.There I saw him. Hayden entered inside his house with an obvious pissed-off look. I had to admit within me, he actually looked more handsome than he ever was tonight with his stern expression.After thinking about it for a few minutes, I decide
Hayden POVAfter drinking for an hour by the bar fixed in the living room, I slowly arose and headed to my room.Pushing the door of my room open, I heard my phone ring. I took it out from my pocket and exhaled. It was Monna calling."Hey, Hayden," she said with a kind of shaking voice the second I swiped to receive a call."What's up, Monna? Is Kathrina fast asleep now?""No. Actually…Kathrina isn't home."I furrowed my brows, dazed. Where could she possibly have gone after leaving here?"Monna, where's she?" I asked, breaking the brief silence that occured.Hell no, could she have gone over to Rylan's place? I mused."Kathrina got into an accident," Monna said, making my eyes widened. I stumbled back and sighed."What happened, Monna…?""My mom has gone over to the town's hospital with Morley." I hung up and dashed out of the house immediately after I grabbed my car key on the table.I reached the hospital and darted in, almost knocking down a few nurses I encountered as I emerged
