Chapter One

         "Hey loser!" I turned to find my best friend May before she siddled next to me.

        "Right back at ya!" I said rolling my eyes.

       "Hey Kyra!" My other best friend Liam called catching up to us.

       "Hey Liam." I smiled at him.

       "So what's up?" May asked.

      "You know the usual."

       "Why don't you just report him to the feds?"

       "You know I can't, he's got my mom's savings for college over my head."

      "Screw him!"

      "How are you sure he hasn't already gambled away the money?" Liam put in.

      "He assured me it's still intact as long I behave. Maybe he's got genuine feelings for my mom if he's willing to respect her dying wish."

May made a a disapproving sound in her throat while Liam looked like he found the idea preposterous. I have no faith in Gary whatsoever but my choices are pretty limited right now.

       "Ah! Right, before I forget Cara's having a pool party later tonight and she's invited us." May announced.

      "Cool, I'll be there." I said.

      "Count me in." Said Liam. 

      "Great! And you lots better not forget my birthday next Saturday." She added.

      "We wouldn't dream about it."

      "I plan on losing my v card on my eighteenth birthday." May announced with such a giddy look on her face like she just won the lottery.

Liam choked out a cough like his saliva went down the wrong pipe, my mouth simply hung loose. "You're not serious right?"

      May flipped her hair over her shoulder, "should've happened when I was seventeen but I'm not letting myself be eighteen while still a virgin, ew I'm not like you Kyra saving yourself for the one." She said that last part with air quotes and I blushed to the roots of my hair immediately going on defensive. " And what's wrong with that?"

      " Yeah what's wrong with that?" Both May and I turned towards Liam surprised at the sharpness of his tone. " You're gonna sleep with some random dude out there when you should be with someone you like and who likes you back. "

      " Chill man it's not that deep. Besides I'm not the first girl to do it. "

      " Doesn't mean you have to be like the other girls though. "

I watched their little exchange in amusement. 

May and Liam have always been like that bickering with each other the slightest of things, going at each other's throats. I had always thought it was because of their friendship but looking at Liam and the way his neck and ears are all red I realised for the first time that Liam had feelings for May and that she may have feelings for him too.

It all makes sense now. “can you two kiss and make up now, I can feel the sexual tension radiating off the both of you?”

“ew, as if!”  May said and went ahead of us. Liam’s face fell instantly and I felt sorry for him. 

Poor Liam.

“you like May don’t you?” he looked startled. 

“what?”

 I simply smiled. “maybe you should tell her how you feel.” I advised. We parted ways with both May and Liam heading to the mini Mart; the only one in town right across the street while I turned the corner to KC’s diner where I work part time.

I love my job waiting tables at KC’s. It required plenty of movement plus I get to meet new people and the tip is also good and I eat my meals right here in the kitchen. Only downside to it is the occasional rude customers: the ones who think you're their servant and ought to do everything they say and the lascivious ones who go around groping the waitresses and making lewd comments about them, those ones i’ve had the pleasure of puting them in their place many times plus KC the owner of the diner had made it quite clear no touching the waitresses.  

KC was kind to me, he knew my mom and after she died he gave me the job to help save for college. He, like myself have a very deep disliking for Gary. KC was a widower who insists on staying single in order to honour his wife's memory. I wish he’d married my mom instead of sleazy Gary but one can’ t always have what one wished for.

“morning KC .” I said chirpily.

“Morning. Someone's in a good mood.” He regarded me with his brows raised. 

I beamed at him. “well i’m turning eighteen in three weeks, you know what that means?”

“no.”

“freedom at last!” I threw my hands up in the air. He chuckled and I smiled .

“well one thing’s for sure i’m gonna miss you kid.”

“i’ll make sure to come visit whenever I can.” I assured him.

“come here.” He pulled me in a hug. “you’’re making me emotional so early in the morning.” I laughed but the sound was muffled by his arms around me. When we pulled away he had tears in his eyes. “your mom would be proud of you.” 

Tears stung my eyes at the mention of my mom. “great, now you’re gonna make me cry.”

“alright, enough sappiness get to work.”

    Chapter Thirty TwoI try not to let Tristan's absence bother me too much but his rejection cut deep and I resent myself for letting me miss him. Did he find me so repulsive that he’d rather be with Rowena instead?I never know what he's thinking, or what it is he's hiding behind those brilliant blue eyes. Without meaning to I let thoughts of him dominate my mind. I wanted this job to keep myself busy so I don't look like a loser pining after a man I would never have but even that I'm failing miserably.Bryan's grandma who owned the diner was a sweet wiry woman in her sixties with a perpetual smile on her face, she didn't have a problem with Bryan hiring me in fact she was so happy to have me that she pulled me in a tight hug until I couldn't breathe. It took Bryan's grumblings for her to let me go but I didn't mind at all.Over the next few days I busied myself with my new job until I could spare no time for thoughts of Tristan which is a progress i suppose. Bryan was very down to ear

    Chapter Thirty One"This is a bad idea." Cherry said later when we got to town while I was clutching the CV I'd printed up like my life depends on it- I guess in a way my life kinda depends on it seeing as I need it to get a job."Alpha Tristan is gonna have a fit when he finds out." Josh put in."Who's gonna tell him? Besides, I can't stay locked up in the estate forever I have a life you know, I gotta go to college."" Well yeah, but you don't have to work for that I mean come on it's pretty obvious the Alpha has a thing for you. Am I right Cherry?""yeah but the only part I'm not so sure of is Kyra depending on Alpha Tristan," Cherry mused. " For one, she isn't a werewolf so she's not his responsibility and two, she's not his mate."Wow that really hits close to home, it's one of the things I keep forgetting- whatever I feel for Tristan and whatever his reaction towards me is because let's face it there's no hiding his obvious attraction to me even Cherry and Josh could see it- not

    Chapter Thirty" Don't keep yourself up waiting for something that's not gonna happen Kyra." "You're a total jerk you know that?"I huffed in frustration. Why can't I stop thinking about Tristan?I've lost count on how many times he wandered into my thoughts and it's only the start of the day. I couldn't sleep last night because of him and I have such awful bags under my eyes that even josh jumped back in surprise when I walked into the kitchen that afternoon.It was already noon because I deliberately slept in so I wouldn't have any awkward run-ins with Tristan. I was pathetic last night and this morning I was so mortified by how desperate I sounded that I wished I could bury my head in the sand."Man you look awful." Cherry commented. I plopped myself into the empty chair at the table."I know." I grumbled."Stop teasing her you two." Betsy chided then she turned to me and said, "You don't even look that bad Kyra. Here, have something to eat." She pushed a plate of bacon in front o

    Chapter Twenty NineEven after extracting the name of the wolf who put them to it Tristan didn't pause on the whip instead it fuelled his anger more. The cracks of the whip and their screams of pain was all that could be heard but Tristan wasn't stopping anytime soon, even their desperate pleadings fell on deaf ears until Isaac interfered."I think they've had enough don't you think?" Isaac said eyeing the almost identical wounds on their backs still fresh and dripping with blood unable to heal, at least it won't for a while because the whip had been laced wolfsbane. It must hurt like a bitch, he thought with a grimace. One of them has already passed out and his body was dangling from the ropes tied all the way to the ceiling.For a fleeting second Tristan looked as if he was going to turn on his Beta who took a step back when he saw those black bottomless eyes, there was no telling what he'd do when he's gripped by Alpha rage but then Tristan shut his eyes and exhaled and his eyes sl

    Chapter Twenty EightTristan came back with food as promised but Kyra was already fast asleep. She looked so peaceful and innocent-which hurt his heart- and very much human. The moon goddess must really enjoy playing sick jokes on him, out of all the shewolves…it had to be an insignificant human and her of all people, was it even a coincidence that she ended up at his doorstep?Gary just happened to be a tool- he hadn't forgotten about that bastard by the way- and after that she just kept messing with his head ever since. It's good that he made her see the real him hopefully this time she'd stay away for good, the mating bond don't mean anything to him until he accepts it and Tristan refused to accept it. On its own volition his hand was reaching out towards her and pushing back the tendrils of hair from her face. She stirred a bit but didn't open her eyes, Tristan pulled the blanket over her and left the room.Tristan let the moon ball go on without him and had Isaac oversee the enti

    Chapter Twenty Seven I buried my face in his chest as we walked through the throng of werewolves. I didn't strain my ears to hear what they were whispering about me. When we were finally out of ear shot I pulled back and said, "you can put me down now I can walk perfectly fine.""Be quiet."A retort was just at the tip of my tongue but I held back, it was pointless to fight with him anyway and so I gave up. He was warm and comfortable eliciting a sigh of content from me.Tristan put me down on a king sized bed and as I took in the spacious room and dark colours I realised this was his bedroom.Why did Tristan bring me to his bedroom?"Why did you bring me here?" I asked as he took my arm to examine the claw scratches. "It's closer and you were heavy. Now wipe that snort off your face you look ugly."I snatched my arm away glaring at him. "Ha ha very funny."He grabbed my ankle and I winced in pain. "I'm going to kill those bastards." Tristan gritted.That was sweet and all him getti
