#Chapter39My words had never come back to bite me in the butt like this. I blushed immediately at the thought of me and Harper rolling in the sheets. "I'm not sleeping with him. Never." I fake shuddered showing them how the very idea repulsed me, which in reality was far from the truth. The thought of sleeping with Harper was exciting and I felt my body heat up in response."You're not going to sleep with him YET!" Sam said."Yup, never say never." Nat said in a cheerful voice. "What am I supposed to reply to him?" I asked the two relationship experts sitting in front of me. I needed to divert their attention from me and Harper having sex to some less dangerous topic."You call him right now and tell him that your answer is yes." Sam shrugged as if everything was that simple."I can't do that.""Why not?" Nat arched an eyebrow."Harper has been picking up fights with me, degrading me and whatnot and suddenly he wants me to be his girlfriend. It just doesn'
#Chapter40'HIS SECRET ( If it isn't clear enough, this Chapter is in Harper's POV!)'******We need to talk.That's exactly what she had said when she messaged me and as clueless as I was in relationships, even I knew that people didn't use this sentence if they wanted to deliver some good news.So, she wanted to tell me something bad. Like what? Like maybe, she didn't want to be my girlfriend.No, that couldn't be. I have to be positive.If I was being completely honest, I had never noticed Zara before my birthday, the day I came to know she was my mate. I must have passed her in the halls once or twice, but I don't think I gave her any special attention. And I wonder why?! It does make me sound like a dick, but that's just how it is!She was just so perfect. I remember the day clearly. I was sitting in one of the many boring classes of the day, severely disappointed that I hadn't found my mate on my birthday. All the pack women were present to wish me a happy b
#Chapter41I helped her out of the car when we reached the cabin. I didn't know about her, or how humans felt when they touched their mates, but when I touched her hand or any other part of her body for that matter, sparks shot through my whole body making me weak in the knees and it made me never want to let her go. I just wanted to touch more of her, not just her hand, every inch of her skin, with mine. Imagine my disappointment when I had to let go of her hand, after helping her out of the car.I turned to face her and saw her taking in the cabin. The cabin looked haunted in the night, I knew that, but in the day, it had its own homely feel to it. She noticed it too, because I could see her lips lift upwards in a smile. Oh, those lips. I had wanted to kiss them so much last night. Hell, I had wanted to kiss her every damn day after I had a taste of them the last time, in the empty classroom. They were, by far, the best lips that I had ever tasted and I wanted to taste them
#Chapter42'"Do I know anyone who, um, can change into a wolf too?" I asked tentatively.'******I wasn't terrified. I was horrified. In fact, more than horrified.My world had turned upside down in just a matter of minutes. Harper had stood almost naked in front of me, in nothing but his black boxers, which clung to his waist soooooo well, by the way and then, in a few minutes, a 6 feet tall, white wolf stood in his place, and looked at me with piercing green eyes. The same green eyes I had started to associate with Harper.Nothing made sense in my head right now. But somehow, I knew that my suspicions were correct, that Harper had indeed changed into a white wolf. How, I didn't know! The tattered remains of the black boxers Harper had been wearing before he transformed were lying on the ground. The piece of garment must have shred to pieces because it couldn't accommodate the large body of the wolf Harper had changed into. And that fact brought to my other dangerous
#Chapter43He chuckled and his shoulders relaxed the first time we had started this weird conversation. "No, we just change into wolves." He turned his head to look at me. I turned my head the other way to avoid eye contact with him, he sensed it and returned his attention back to the front, steering the car on the familiar road of my house.I hated myself for bringing back the weird silence in the car but I couldn't help it. This was a huge matter that I had to absorb and I think I was doing a pretty good job. Harper would prove as a distraction from the matter at hand and I couldn't afford that."What's your species called?" Those words that came out of my mouth cemented everything. I knew Harper and I were different but I had no idea how different we really were. We were practically different species."We aren't exactly different species per se. You could just say, we are an advanced version of humans." I cringed at the way he said the word human, like he wasn't one. "We
#Chapter44'"Do you believe in soul mates, Zara?"'******I think I was in denial and being so close to Harper didn't help at all. I think my mind rejected the idea of the existence of werewolves right on the spot, even though I conversed with Harper about them like I would, maybe, discuss a fantasy novel.When I got into the safe confines of my own home and the soft sheets of my bed did I realise the gravity of the situation. My throat was parched and scratchy due to screaming, my body felt heavy and I couldn't even lift my head up. My head pounded and my body felt like it was on fire. I was so exhausted that I felt like I had been hit by a freight train.I didn't know when I fell asleep due to exhaustion but I do know when I woke up, my mom was hovering over me, her eyebrows furrowed in concern."You're burning up!" My mom said while gently touching the back of her hand with my forehead. "What time is it?" I asked while attempting to look out the window, but t
#Chapter45I crossed my arms over my chest, which didn't make me look even a little bit intimidating. "Why are you here? And who goes and taps on people's windows at night?"Aiden looked huge in my room, it wasn't that my room was small, it was just that he held an authoritative aura around him right now.He rubbed his hands together, as if to create some warmth. "So, Harper showed you his wolf!"It wasn't a question, it was a statement. He knew that Harper had shown me his wolf.I nodded and the realisation hit me. "Are you a, um,...?"He smiled at me and came to sit on the bed, in front of me, his legs dangling on the side. "A Werewolf?" I groaned. "Please don't use that word." I put my face in my hand and shook my head a little, as if ridding myself of all the problems.No wonder he asked me that so casually. How the hell am I not freaked about it? That a werewolf is sitting on my bed in the middle of the night?"Is it safe to assume that you still have
#Chapter46'"Tell me about mates."'******Everything was ready. Harper was supposed to come to my house at 9, when Cody would be at school and my parents would be at work.We would have total privacy and that was exactly what we needed. Me and Harper needed to talk and I was pretty sure the word Werewolf would be used quite often, and I was definitely sure my parents would not like to hear the word.Everything was set now and Harper would come here any moment. We would talk in the living room where I would clearly tell him that I wasn't in any place to start a relationship with him, not now, and maybe not ever. I would sit across from him. He would sit on the couch and I would sit on the armchair, and have the center table between us because distance between us was necessary. Completely necessary. Things happened whenever Harper was too close to me and I now knew why, because we were mates. I had already begun to accept the fact and I had no idea why. Now that I t
