Chapter 17

Ever since Kara had found out about Connor and me, she'd been constantly giving me a death stare at school.

I immediately looked away from her, terrified as I went into my locker.

Receiving Connor's love, I had obtained the worst enemy: a werewolf that hated my guts for dating her kind.

After the horrible incident I had with Kara in the hallway, I tried to avoid meeting her there at all costs. I exited the bathroom, walking as fast as I could along the hallway back to my second session.

As I'm about to walk past the exact place she'd stopped me before bringing me to the top of the roof to throw me off. I froze at an inhuman touch.

"Will you go out on a date with me this Saturday?" I heard Connor behind me, and I'm no longer terrified. 

I spun around, smiling to meet his eyes.

"Yes," I answered.

"Great, I'll pick you up at noon." He was beaming back at me.

We stood staring into each other's eyes, remaining to smile.

The school bell rang, and I loathed that it did, disrupting my time with Connor. 

It was the only time I had spent with him within the day.

Connor suggested that we should keep our distance for a while, since Kara knows about us.

I missed him visiting me at my apartment. 

Though he hasn't done so for a day, it felt like years.

"I've got to go," Connor said and walked off hurriedly before the hallway was burst with students.

"See you on Saturday," I said, standing there watching him as he left.

Turning around, my smile faded when I saw his triplet brother and Kara striding confidently behind them. While the triplet walked past me as if I didn't exist, Kara gave me a loathful stare that made me flee from her right away.

*******

It's 9 am, and I'm eager for it to be noon, eager to go out on my first date with Connor.

In the morning, an hour before our date, Connor called.

"Our date plans have changed," he said, and I felt as if my world had shattered.

"Why?" I asked, disappointed.

"My mom had found out about us. She had finally sensed through my overpowering scent of maple tree that I was hiding something, your scent."

As I'm panicking that it was the end of our relationship. He calmed me down, finishing his sentence, "She wants to meet you."

*****

I'm wearing blue jeans, a white top, and white sneakers when Connor finally arrives at my apartment.

Excitedly, I ran from my window to meet him downstairs. I missed a step going down the porch stairs. As I was about to fall on my face, Connor sped towards me and lifted me into his arms.

I looked at him, forever stunned by his powerful abilities.

He smirked at me and then gracefully put me down as if I were an expensive ornament made from glass.

After passing what seemed like a thousand different types of trees. We were now at his white mansion with large dark glass windows. The sides and back of it were surrounded by trees, blocking out most of the sun's light, making the place seem much dimmer.

Connor walked around the car to open the door for me, and I began to get really nervous knowing his family was inside waiting to meet me.

Connor senses that I am nervous, and he wraps an arm around me.

"You don't need to worry," he comforted me.

"I forget I can't hide anything from you," I said, trying to joke under the overwhelming nervousness.

He kissed me on top of the head as we were almost near the house.

"Connor, wait," I stopped him.

"What is wrong?" He turned towards me.

"Is there more about your kind that I should know before we go inside?" I said freaking out. As an introvert, I was not used to meeting new people, and now werewolves.

"Other than what you've told me about your kind. What do I need to know about your family before I go in to meet them?"

"My mom is 550 years old, Dad is a 1000,  sister 150, and her mate is 670; and as for me, Kara, and the triplets, we are the age you assumed us to be, 18 and 16."

I nodded, stunned and also saddened at the thought that one day Connor will outlive me and fall for someone worth his beautiful appearance.

Will he ever remember me when, one day, I grow old and die?

I don't ever want to leave his side.
