CHAPTER ONE
One thing I loved about the night was it never really did reveal your flaws and it was the only time I could walk freely without a hoodie covering my face or without a cap. It felt refreshing not having to hide and just being myself out in the open even if I was alone.
I could hear the music blaring out from my pack's mansion and I knew the other's were having fun but I really didn't care that I was excluding myself. I didn't really fit in to begin with and everyone knew me as the girl with a huge scar on her face or the girl who always kept to herself . But none of that mattered as I stood out here in the middle of the woods now gazing at the crescent moon above me.
It was really cool and I loved the gentle rustling of the trees. I soon stripped off my clothes and shifted to my wolf form.
Having ran for a while around the woods and exploring in the darkness , I decided to change back so I walked to where I had left my clothes but it was barely seconds after I had put on my shirt exempting my skirt when I felt the presence of someone approaching .Someone I immediately recognised through his scent and a sudden fear gripped me.
I tried hastily to put on my clothes but couldn't and soon we came in contact. I gasped immediately as his gaze went further down my body and I instinctively dragged my shirt downward . What on earth was Nathan doing here?
"Turn around. "I shouted and realisation dawned on him that I was half naked then he averted his eyes and swiftly turned away from me.
"I'm sorry." He said but I was more focused on putting on my skirt and when I was done. I quickly got away as fast as possible. I did hear him say my name though but there was no way I would be so close to him or talk to him alone and then letting him have a closer look at my scar without me having a melt down.
Once I was in the comfort of my room , I locked the door and went to sit on my bed , still wondering why I crossed path with Nathan.
Everyone was inside so why on earth was he outside alone . I mean he's free to walk but it seemed as if he was searching for someone and I was the only one outside. Could it be me? No way.
That's probably a silly thought .There's no reason why he'd search for me . I can literally count the number of times we've talked and it's six well seven now because of what just happened and it's never a proper conversation. Also he's the alpha's son and wouldn't want to roam around with someone like me.
Why am I even thinking about this? I should forget about him .Yea, I should probably do that but I can't especially when I still feel tensed about it all. I should go to sleep.
I shifted into my bed and laid flat gazing at the ceiling trying to sleep but all that was popping up in my head was Nathan's face and I felt strange.
NATHAN'S POV
If there was anything certain at the point Kylie ran away from me after I bumped into her in the woods was that, she was wierd but weirdly fascinating. I really can't tell the reason why she's always running away from me. It sometimes makes me wonder if it's because she doesn't like me or because of something else. I really can't tell and have actually been hoping on asking her about it or perhaps getting to know her more but I never really got the chance and it's sometimes hard to approach her when she's always behaving like a ghost. Staying away from the pack, acting like a rogue , having her hoodie over her face and never really contributing her opinion to any issue.
It got really discouraging sometimes because I actually felt an unexplainable way towards her and wishes to know her more and know why she acts the was she does.
I stood still after Kylie had left and was still thinking . It was the first time I had seen her face uncovered and I wonder why she hid such beauty that even a scar couldn't alter.
" Nathan"
I turned around to see Mitchell approaching towards me. I do get tired of having her follow me almost everywhere.
" You left "
" Yes , i wanted to take a walk." I replied.
" Through the woods? "
" Yes ." I could hear the unbelief in her tone and maybe she was right to think so. I don't even know why I came out, Maybe, It was because I knew Kylie would be out here too.
"Well, it is cool and the view of the moon and stars is perfect also." She said looking at me but I was quick to look away.
"You know, very soon Nathan, we would be chosen as mates by the moon goddess who live up there. I'm certain of it. " I let out a sigh.
I'm not certain of it for sure but there was really little I could do since my parents and everyone already consider that we would be mates but no one considers what I think or if I have my eyes set out on another or probably have even found out who my mate was.
It was really hard trying to push Mitchell away since she's had that thought that we we're meant to be when in fact, I feel nothing for her.
She soon walked up to me pulling my arms into hers . I really do wish to tell her but that's probably going to hurt her and so I said nothing when she wrapped her arms around me in an embrace.
CHAPTER TWOKYLIE'S POVI clutched tightly to the hand of my bag as I walked down the hallway. It was quite busy since it was morning and class hasn't begun but all that was on my mind was how to get quickly out of there and slip into class.I couldn't really tell if eyes were on me since I didn't look up and I wore one of my hoodie. On getting to class , I realised that I was the first enter and so I went to the back and sat down there before the others would come in.This school wasn't quite like the others out there or for humans and it wasn't only my pack that attended it. It was mainly a school for werewolves from different packs and It was made like this to avoid humans suspecting beings like us existed. Since, It was hard to control ourselves sometimes, the elders thought it was better we stayed around each other.Soon enough, Mitchell, Li
CHAPTER THREE NATHANS POVI searched everywhere for Kylie but still couldn't find her. She wasn't in any of the class rooms or the cafeteria or the stairs and I felt worried.It was until I checked the library that I saw her but She wasn't alone either and the sight before me made me feel a pang of hurt in my chest. She was with Derek and was flushed tight against him in a hug. I thought before now she never associated with anyone.I mean it Is good she does but seeing how comfortable she is around him to even let down her hoodie made me feel somehow. She never talked to me , never showed her face to me willingly but here she was hugging someone else even when we are both mates.Yes we are mates and I don't know if she's realised it or if she's just shying away from it or perhaps she hates me.I stood in the same
CHAPTER FOURNATHANS POVI felt moody all day because of the conversation I had with Kylie. Honestly, I don't think it was any use trying to win her over. She clearly didn't like me and won't even consider what I said . It hurts knowing I might end up having a one sided love.I couldn't even say I'll try to get over her because I cant and that made it so much worse. I was frustrated beyond measures right now as I laid back in my bed. It was night already and I wanted to be alone. Away from everyone and away from Mitchell. My dad had called me earlier on to join for dinner but I didn't want that. Mitchell was going to be there too and I knew my parents would surely talk about how far we've gone since they considered us mates. It should be Kylie at the table with me but I didn't know how I was going to tell everyone that Mitchell wasn't my mate especially when Kylie isn't going to stand be
CHAPTER FIVEKYLIES POV I was already seated at the biology lab waiting for the teacher to arrive then Nathan stepped in. I almost forgot he was taking the same class with me today. His eyes met mine immediately and I felt nervous as he walked towards me.He looked really handsome in his black outfit. I mean he is always handsome and hot but today, he looked hotter. I guess black was his signature colour.He moved pass me and took a sit behind me and that was when I noticed he looked moody. He didn't say anything to me, not even a 'hi' and I felt awkward. Maybe I should talk to him first but what if he doesn't reply me?Just yesterday he sounded really possessive of me and now today, he's acting like I don't exist and I feel wierd about it because I want him to talk to me.The teacher came in a while later and also did Derek
CHAPTER SIX KYLIE'S POV I dared not do anything with my lips again while being held by Nathan. I didn't even speak nor did I look at him in the eye because it would easily give away the amount of effect he had on me, the amount of butterflies I felt in my stomach right now because of our close proximity and how much I wanted to see if he'll do what he just said . He soon seem to let go of me in a rather ockward manner and left me with the ghost of the feel of his touch. I kind of felt a bit disappointed though but was also relieved about it. He got back to planting the seeds , looking really graceful , handsome and sexy with the way he stood . There was silence for that moment and after he was done , he handed the vase over to me.
CHAPTER SEVEN NATHANS POV Everything's changed, especially between Mitchell and I. I usually held on to the thought before that maybe one day I'll grow to love her since everyone saw us as the perfect match but I don't think I can do that anymore. Not when I've fallen so irrevocably in love with someone else. I could never give Mitchell the love she wanted and I wanted so much to tell her about it now . Tell her that I wasn't the one for her but I couldn't bring myself to do that either. She might be grumpy to others but I knew she always tried to please me and she liked me too . I would feel bad breaking her heart but I would also be selfish too if I didn't do it either because it would mean I was leading her on and letting her hope that someday I'll be in love with her and make her my mate. I would also still be selfish to Kylie . I knew one of the main reasons Kylie was afraid of getti
CHAPTER EIGHT KYLIE'S POV For the first few seconds, it felt unreal that he was kissing me. I just couldn't believe it but when his hands pulled me tighter against him and his lips moved over mine in a gentle, yet demanding manner, I found myself sticking up to the realisation . It was nothing like I had ever felt before , and I was a bit uncertain on what to do. A bit uncertain when I felt his hot breath against my skin and when his lips became firmer and bolder against mine and seeking to deepen the kiss. He bit down on my lower lip , followed by a slid of his tongue which slowly sucked on it, driving me insane. He moved his hands away from my waist to my hips , fingers digging in and pressing me tightly against him so that we weren't even an inch apart. I opened my mouth beneath his an
CHAPTER NINEKYLIE'S POV The next one week , I realised that Nathan meant what he said about staying away from me because he did just that. He avoided me like I was a ghost and even the time I tried talking to him concerning the plant we were both growing, he said that he didn't want to partake in it any longer and that hurt me so much . He was ready to get an F in the practical if it meant staying away from me. I ended up doing the whole thing on my own and also prepared his answers too along side mine. I wasn't going to let him fail because of our misunderstanding. I gave him the next day and hoped he would collect it , but what he did surprised me, he threw the paper away just to make sure, I didn't submit it on his behalf then after that he excused himself from the class. It took alot in me not to tear up at that instant. He was obviously goin
