I covered my mouth in shock. "You’re joking, aren’t you? He was conscious before we left some time ago; how is it possible that he slipped into a coma? It’s not possible; isn’t he supposed to be getting better? How is he getting worse then?" I asked in anger as I rushed to Jason. "You can’t accept this, Jason. He is fine; she’s joking; nothing has happened to Alpha Stanley." I told him, and Jason took a deep inhale."Is there no other way? Tell me, Sajer, is there no other way to help the alpha?" He asked her as tears streamed down my cheeks.She stared at him and said, "Unfortunately, there isn't. He was very attached to her, and the fact that he was able to even live this long surprises me." She said this as she stared at him. "There are other things you need to be worried about, Jason. It’s the full moon in two days; I don’t think I need to speak further." She said that, and with that, she turned to me slightly, and I stared at her, confused.There was a type of look she cast my wa

Confused, I pulled her away from me. "I don’t understand, Amanda. Please tell me; it all doesn’t seem to make sense to me." I told her as I stared at her, while she had a little smile on her face that seemed to please me."It’s true; I feel bad that my existence was a lie, but you know, while I slept, she came to me." She said it with a pained smile on her face.She turned to me, smiling slightly, and I still couldn’t place my hands on what was going on. Was she happy, sad, or what? It all seemed like she was ambivalent at this point, and it scared me. Was she going mad?"I don’t understand, Amanda. Tell me, what’s going on with you?" I asked her as I cupped her face in my hands, and her little face felt so cold that it sent shivers down my spine.She smiled and said, "You only did this to protect me. Mother told me this; she told me everything. You don’t have to worry. I’m so sorry that I got you that worried the whole night. I never meant for it to happen, but I had to come to terms

He turned to me. "You probably think I am a jerk, a bad guy, and an insensitive soul, don’t you?" He asked, and I moved back as he started to move closer to me."Why do I need to think about it when that’s what you are?" I asked him as tears started to well up in my eyes. "Don’t you feel guilty? Don’t you have a conscience? Doesn’t it ever hurt you when you do these things, especially to children?" I asked him, and he ran his fingers through his hair."You haven’t seen life from my end, Amanda. This is the main reason they wanted the secret about you being a wolf kept from you the entire time." He said it with a light smirk as he turned away from me, and I stared at him, confused."What do you mean?" I asked him as I stared at him, but all he did was chuckle."You’ve lived your whole life as a human, and as such, you think life is very easy; you think no one is bad, and that’s why you feel whatever I do is not sensitive, but let me tell you one thing, Amanda. The day you come to know

"Talk to me, Amanda. What do you mean by that?" He asked her as he held on to her hand, stopping her from leaving."What are you doing? Let go of me. Go be with Eva; she’s prettier and more sensible after all." She said, and he smirked as he pulled her closer to himself, turning her as he pinned her back right against the wall. "Leave me!" She told him as she struggled to get away from him, and he smirked."You’re jealous, aren’t you?" He asked her, and she looked away from him in anger."And why would I be? I have Tristan here, don’t I? He’s better than you could ever be, so why would I ever be jealous of you and Eva?" She asked him, and he chuckled as he turned her to look him right in the eye."Then why do I feel otherwise? You’re not looking into my eye, Amanda. Look into my eye and say it to me; tell me you’re not jealous and that Tristan is better than me. Don’t look away from me; say it while looking into my eyes." He told her as he pinned her hands to the wall, and she continu

It felt like every single part of my body had stopped functioning; it felt like I was a patient who had just suffered a stroke, and I didn’t understand any more; I just didn’t. I stared at him, shocked, as he ran off with Eva, and I held on to my chest. What was I thinking? What came over me when I let him put his hands around me?I swallowed in shame as I turned away, tears streaming down my cheeks. I had made a complete fool of myself, a complete mockery.I was still in tears after I locked the door behind me when suddenly there was a knock on the door. "Just go away; I don’t want to speak to anybody." I said this in tears as I closed my eyes tightly."Amanda, it’s me, Tristan. Open the door for me at least, please." He told me as he continued to knock on the door.I shook my head. With who Tristan had come to be, one thing was certain: he was certainly going to indirectly rub it in my face because he had warned me. Why didn’t I listen to Tristan? Why did I let myself fall for someon
