Kevin helped her

Ariel’s POV 

I waited for everything to be silent before I slid out from the back of the chair. I knew I couldn't save my nana from the onset but what I didn’t know was that it was going to hurt twice as much when I watched.

In my last life, I had come back from the party and met her in the exact spot where she is now. Dead, but this time it was different. It had seen it happen and I knew now that whoever must’ve sent that wind is my enemy. 

Tears welled up in my eyes as I looked at my poor nana, they couldn't have given her a less painful death to bear. I bent down over her body and noticed blood dripping from her nostrils. 

This wasn't some ordinary death. You don't go around seeing killing winds passing every day. The witch did this. It had to be some kind of spell. I went into my grandma's study room to look for it. I don't know what it is yet but I was sure to find something. 

She wouldn't let me in on a normal basis but now that she wasn’t here, I went there and I found a book and a locket with my mother’s picture on it. Many other things, but I took those two and ran to my room. 

My phone started ringing. It was Chloe. She's probably calling to know if I'm home or not but I couldn’t let her know I was here.

I panicked. 

Who do I call? What should I do? I quickly picked up my phone and scrolled through my contacts. I had many numbers but I wasn't really connected to many people. 

There was only one other person I could call. I haven't spoken to him in a long while but I had to today, I was desperate. 

"Hello?" The voice said into the receiver and I repeated his same words. I quickly made up the dumbest excuse ever as to why I wanted to see him and cut the call. I just hoped he'd come to get me. 

Immediately I was done with that, I left the house and went to hide behind the bushes.

It's been ten minutes since Kevin came to pick me but I still couldn’t say a word. I haven't spoken to Kevin since eighth grade when he wrote a letter confessing his love for me and I laughed it off. 

He's been trying to connect to me but I have been throwing him off ever since. I was surprised he came. Kevin left our school in eleventh grade and I haven't seen him around ever since. 

I should probably break the silence but what would I say to him? Thanks? How are you doing? 

I didn't know which pack he was from, I never saw his parents or his siblings. He was always alone which was weird. And in eighth grade he'd walked up to me to tell me he felt a connection to me and I blew him off but here he was, saving my life. 

He'd grown so much. He now had striking features, his black curly hair fell to his face and he had the perfect eyes. I wasn't really checking him out when I had a revenge plan going on. Ugh! I was confused. 

He stretched his hand to the music player. The music was loud. I loved it. So much better than the awkward silence, and we went on until he stopped in front of a big building. 

"Is this your house?" I asked. Could he be living here alone? 

"This is my parent's house but they are dead now, so it's just me and my brother now." He replied in very rushed sentences. He parked the car a few meters away from the gate and then we walked back to the gate on foot. 

The gate alone was huge not to talk of the house. I didn't even know such places like this existed.

He rang the bell and I heard a little voice reply. I was still pondering about who the boy would be until the door flung open and a smaller version of Kelvin popped up. 

"Who's this?" He asked immediately but Kevin smiled and told me to come in after him. He did not seem to like me but it didn’t really matter. They had the same set of eyes whose color was so unique that it couldn’t really say what it was.

I slowly looked around the house and was awed at its prettiness. Its walls were painted white and it looked like a meeting house more than a normal house. A meeting house was a place where alphas met to discuss important issues and politics for the safety of their packs. 

Pictures of different men hung around the house in black and white. I'm guessing… former Alphas? I didn't ask him though. He offered me a seat on the cushion which was also white and gave me a glass of water. Exactly what I needed. 

"Do you want to talk about it?" Kevin asked. 

Talk about what? 

I had even forgotten the lie I used to get myself here and so I drank the water slowly wracking my brain until I remembered. 

It was like the water had helped me get my memory back.

I lied to him that I and Chloe had a fight and that I had walked home but didn't want to stay at home. 

Kevin's stares pierced through my soul; It felt like he could practically see through me. I was kinda happy I met him now if he was this good-looking. He looked so different now, like a business type of guy, if you asked me. 

"You're living here all by yourself? Just you and your brother?" I asked, changing the subject. I was beginning to restrategize. In my last life, after my grandma died, I moved in with Chloe. It's one of the worst mistakes I made. I wasn't going to do it again. 

Kevin said yes, but then he told me to stop asking questions. 

"Something's different about you, Jones." He said suddenly, whilst staring intensely at me.

Of course, something's changed. I fucking died! I wanted to scream out everything inside me to him but I didn’t. Another part of me just wanted to grab him and kiss him but I also didn’t. 

I was so conflicted that nothing else mattered aside from vengeance...
