Aubrey's POV I backtracked, "Wait, what?" I asked. He was behaving weirdly. Why was he looking around like someone was going to burst in at any minute?" Come over to my house." He repeated, and I took a step back. What was he doing? If I followed him home, I knew what was going to happen. " I can't." He sighed, " This is not the time to be stubborn." He said. I grew annoyed, " Well, if you had given me a reason why I should follow you, I would be more inclined to listen to you."I replied. He raked his hands through his hair. " Don't make this any more difficult than this. It's simple; this place is unsafe for you."I rolled my eyes, and went to the sofa to sit. He sure knew how to ruin beautiful moments. " I am not going anywhere." I crossed a leg over the other. " Then you leave me with no choice then." He muttered and picked me up, like I weighed nothing. " Put. Me. Down." I muttered through gritted teeth, yet he continued walking to the door. " What if someone sees us li

Aubrey's POV The Next Day, I avoided Mr. Knight like a plague. After trying to get the reason I was a bit sad out of me, he finally got the hint to leave me alone. When he brought me home this morning, we barely spoke a word to each other. I needed space to quell the jealousy that threatened to consume my mind. He didn't belong to me, yet I was always upset at the mention of another woman in his life. Hearing him asking someone to care for a lady made me sick to the stomach. I knew that it wasn't Ellie because he would have called her name, and there and then I took my decision. I walked into class that morning with a banging headache. Lectures were supper to begin at ten a.m, " Hey, babe. it's been long I saw you!" Alexis exclaimed as she grinned from ear to ear when I got to our seat.I rolled my eyes, " Hmm, one would think that I went away for a very long time." I responded an me she chuckled. "What can I say? I've missed you a lot. You weren't replying your messages." She s

Knight's POV "Good morning, Dad," Ellie said as she descended downstairs. She yawned slightly."Hey, pumpkin. How are you doing?" I replied as she approached me. She planted a kiss on my cheek while smiling softly. She reminded me of her mother. I shook my head to get rid of the emotions that attempted to resurface after burying them." I'm good, just a bit tired. Where is Uncle Josh?" She asked, as she sat beside me on the sofa, and let out a sigh. We didn't get to sleep early yesterday and we were still awake very early. Sometimes, I wished that I could change her life and also her experience life as a normal teenager. It would have been understandable if she were a male. " He went for a run," I replied and placed my laptop on my lap. I had a meeting with the board of directors in my company which was slated for 8 a.m. "Did you get some sleep last night?" She asked and I shook my head. She gave me a concerned gaze. " And you will be busy throughout today." She added." Yeah," I r

Aubrey's POV My decision to avoid Mr. Knight had to take the backseat because of Ellie's condition as my heart raced with fear and dread. Thinking of the possibilities that came with Ellie being in a coma, what it would mean to Mr. Knight. If I, who was just a friend could feel so shattered, I could imagine how he felt. It must be so heartbreaking watching his child fighting for her life, without a promise of return. With that thought, I texted my boss and lied that my mother had a stroke, so I wouldn't be able to come to work. My movement was frantic as I stuffed some clothes into a duffel bag. Skipping classes for a few days wouldn't hurt. I made a mental reminder to inform Alexis of my absence for a few days. Arriving at the hospital seemed harder than I thought as the universe wanted to frustrate my efforts. There was heavy traffic on the highway. I was fidgeting so badly that the cab driver had to ask me what was wrong with me. " I'm fine." I lied and hid my shaky fingers be

Aubrey's POV A damp cloth hit my forehead and I woke up. The events of last night came crashing down on me. "How are you feeling?" Mr. Knight asked me. I was dumbfounded at the turnout of last night's events. I found it hard to move past it. " Get away from me," I said.A hurtful look appeared on his face briefly before he moved back. I rose and sat on the bed. I had to leave this place immediately. If he was a werewolf, then Ellie must be one too right? I sighed. " What is Ellie?" I asked.His expression confirmed my thoughts, " Don't bother answering that question. Where is Ellie?" I asked when I noticed that the bed was empty. " She's been transferred to the ICU." He replied and looked at me when I attempted to rise. He looked like he wanted to come closer to me but stopped himself. " You are burning up." He replied. " I'm leaving," I replied and I groaned in pain when I rose from the bed. " You are not going out there." I shot him a dangerous look. Was he kidding? " Am I a p
