« What do you mean ? » I frowned, looking at him quickly.

« When you… » He cleared his throat « touched her and she… you know… »

I stared at him for a while.

« So now your keeping tabs on me ? »

« Hey ! » He put his hands up in surrender « I only noticed because I heard girls whispering about it. »

I let out a tired sigh.

« It’s nothing »

Don rolled his eyes, but didn’t ask anything more.

For that I was thankful.

We made it to our cars, and I just stood there.

Don waited patiently, just like he always did.

« Do you find something odd about her ? »

« Who ? » Don asked confused as if forgetting who we were talking about.

« Sam » I said exasperated.

« Like the fact that she’s fucking hot and shy ass hell ? » He leaned against his Black Corvette.

My wolf growled at the vile word but I controlled him.

« No…like…I don’t know how to say it… »

Don smirked at him devilishly.

« For once your tongue tied about a girl, a human at that. I’d think she was your Mate but that’s rare. »

«  Human ? »

The word caused my head to snap his way, my neck popping in the process.

« Yess » His face scrunched in confusion. I could see the look in his eyes. He thought I was having an episode. « Why ? »

« Umm… «  I opened my door « I’ll talk to you later. »

I got in and drove away not wanting to talk more about it.

Why did he say human when she was clearly a wolf ?

Something was off here and I intended to find out.

Sam :

No matter how much I was attracted to Chris, I knew I couldnt let my guard down.

So when we got in class I tried keeping my distance. Not that it helped much, I could sense every movement he made just as if he were inches from me.

When our fingers touched and I felt the same jolt, it took sheer will power to let his hand go.

There was never going to be a chance of him and I.

Not that he even wanted anything with me in the first place. He had made no move towards me that indicated he even liked me in that manner.

I noticed the flash of hurt when I flinched away from his touch, but I only did it by instinct.

I dont like people touching me, and it’s hard wanting yet not wanting to touch Chris.

My feelings were all jumbled and it all started when I met him.

My life was just getting more complicated and I didn’t like it !

Chris :

I made sure no one was in my father’s study as I went to his book shelves.

I skimmed over the bindings until I found the one I was looking for, an old leather one.

I opened it to the middle and retrieved the bronze key.

Kneeling before my father’s desk I opened the box in the hidden cupboard.

Inside it contained all the important papers including the book containing all the information on the 536 members in Moonlight Pack.

This contained everything from Mate status, weaknesses and strengths.

I shoved it in my back pack then put the box back.

I opened the door then closed it behind me.

And ran right into my father.

« Chris, were you looking for me ? » He was wearing his very expensive that being a well known lawyer could buy.

Although we were rich, my father still liked to work.

« Uh no I was getting a book to read » I winced inwardly at my lame excuse.

« Alright your mother said dinners done in 15 minutes » My father was too distracted by the papers he was reading that he didn’t even catch my lie. I hardly even read books to begin with.

« Ok dad » I ran up the stairs and locked my door retrieving the book and throwing my backpack on my bed.

I sat at my desk and opened the big leather bound book.

I turned to the ‘W’s’ and frowned when I didn’t find her name.

Nor that of a parent.

How had she gone so long Without being noticed ?

And who was she hiding ? Or from what ?

Sam :

It was the weekend so I knew he would be drinking a lot.

Once I got home I made his favorite, lasagna to try to lighten the mood. I placed it on the table with one of his moonshine bottles, or atleast I thought it was moonshine. I wouldn’t know since I was anti-liqour.

I went to my room, put in my headphones and blasted ‘My Happy Ending’ by Avril Levigne from my iPod touch.

A while later I heard the front door open and I let out a sigh of relief when the footsteps directed towrds his room.

I laid in bed my mind drifting to Chris.

He was good looking, I had to admit.

But the way he looked at John had frightened me.

If this little thing got him angry, how much worse could he get over something a lot more serious ?

John had backed down, without much of a fight which meant he knew how Chris could get.
