"Sleep with me." He said suddenly making my words die on my lips. I widened my eyes in return as he continued to stare at me. Did he just ask me to have sex with him? With such vague words? "What?" was the first thing that flew out of my mouth. "What?" He repeated out of impulse. "What? No no... I meant... I meant to say that we should sleep in the same bedroom together... not that we should have sex. I mean I do... I do want to have sex with you. But... oh Goddess!" He paused and I was already glowing red. "Goodness!" I exclaimed and jumped to my feet. I pressed the side of my head and ran up the stairs and into my room. What was that? My mind drifted to what Elena and Isabelle said about the mark. Yes, I asked them. FLASHBACK The sleepover was at Elena's house making me wonder where Antonio went since he was nowhere to be found. "Hey, El?" I called. "Yeah?" She popped her face into the kitchen where I was cutting cabbages. "Where's Antonio? I haven't seen him since I

Isabelle stopped once she noticed the bright red lights that aligned to light up the path on the road she was on to an even brighter spot where two chairs or so were. She couldn't see it from afar. She brought up her right palm and rubbed it against her left arm suddenly regretting having worn this sleeveless dress. She took a deep breath walking towards the lighted path to notice something on the floor that looked like... petals. Red petals. She bent down and picked one of the numerous petals up before she smiled giddily looking around for her date and the love of her life. Yet, she couldn't lay her eyes on him. At least not yet. She continued her journey to the bright spot with a smile gracing her lips. When she could finally make out what was under the bright spot which was a table for two, the whole light went off. She frowned and looked back. There was a power outage now?! That's just so absurd. She couldn't see the pack house or their house from this place so she didn't k

"What?" She asked me her voice barely in a whisper. "I mean... If you don't want to be the Luna, it's fine. I'd really understand." I said lying just like I had when I told her I didn't mind her not saying she loved me back. "No, that's not what I mean. Chris, I would love to be your Luna but the pack... they... Do you think they'd want me as their Luna?" She asked voicing her concern. "Of course, they would. Who wouldn't love you? You're kind, funny, feisty, cute, strong physically and mentally, you're strong-willed. You're amazing and to top it all off you're gorgeous. Now tell me who wouldn't like you?" I listed speaking from my heart. "Thank you, Chris." She said standing up. She stood in front of me and hugged me. "But, I feel like I am broken, Chris. Any sleep without you sets me off. I scream like a crazy person whenever I'm alone. I am broken, Chris." "You're not broken, Belle. Come on, really? Is this some sort of insecurity? Who would go through that kind of horror a

"We should go to bed," I mumbled. "We could stay here?" Isabelle replied. Right now I was resting my head on her shoulder having told her about my father. I don't understand why he couldn't just watch me be happy or something. When he realized Isabelle was making me happy, he started to hate her. He's nothing but a bastard and a monster. "Nah. Let's go," I said pulling my head off. She sighed and stood up stretching her arm to me. I smiled and took her hand standing up. I staggered and soon found my bearing with Isabelle resting her body on me. I smiled at her. God, I love this woman. I took her hand and we walked up the stairs. Soon we reached the bedroom and I saw her phone on the bed and a pillow- my pillow against the bedboard. I tilted my head looking at my pillow and turned to her. I saw her look at the pillow then her eyes widened as she blushed scarlet looking at her feet. I chose not the tease her about it as I kissed her hair and walked to the bathroom to have a show

Chris. "Congratulations man." Max greeted. "Thanks," I replied raising my glass to him which he reciprocated before moving away. I turned my head to look for Isabelle spotting her amongst some girls in the pack. Hn, I guess it's good if she has some kind of relationship with the females apart from Dolores and Elena. I was almost turning my head when I saw her laugh at something. Her laugh like always was beautiful with the way she threw her head back and laughed her heart out. There was nothing that wasn't genuine about her. "Chris, are you even listening?" God, she looked so beautiful. I saw her shake her head drinking from a cup in her hand. Hold on, who gave her the drink? "Oh leave him. He's looking at his mate and Luna. He looks so in love." I should probably inquire about it. I was about to walk away when someone held my shoulders. "Hello, wolf boy." I heard behind me. Oh, Goddess! Not tonight! "What do you want witch?" I asked turning to her with a glare. "Oh co
