Rayana POV I ponderously opened my eyes. I was lying on a bed. I clearly remembered how I had shifted back to my human form after a paw had a contact with my wolf's face then as I was about to strike another wolf ripped my neck, forcing me to shift, clutching neck as I blacked out. I had felt Rylan was watching me and I guess he probably was the one who saved me from being finished by them. Sitting upright with my elbows, I winced, bringing up my hand to my wounded neck which was already dressed.I looked around the room and sighed. This isn't Rylan's room. Though it's been a year since I last came here, I can still identify Rylan's room. The door opened and someone walked in.He looked a bit less muscular like Skye. His amazing blue eyes were glowing as he walked up to me and sat next to the bed."You're awake?" He asked, making me hiss."Are you really blind?""Huh?""Isn't it obvious I am awake. Or could I be sleepwalking in the daytime?"He grinned, shaking his head. "Who are y
Rylan POV Walking to the other right side window of my, I held the slate and tilted the Venetian blind. I mindlinked one of the wolves watching the border to let Rayana leave. I watched as she stepped across the border and as if sensing I was watching her, she spun, making me quickly let go of the slate so she couldn't catch me watching. I walked back to my seat and sat down. "You attempted to kill her," Xander said and I flick a stare at him. "I didn't." "You would have if I hadn't stopped you through the mindlink." "She pissed me off." "She simply came to talk to you." "And she wrongly thought that I was still the same Rylan of seven months back who would bend to her wishes when she whined. I have totally forgotten about the good times I shared with her and Hayden." "Don't let your anger consume you." "That's why I never wanted to talk to her." "Anyways she's gone." "Why did you attempt to stop me when I attacked her?" I asked curiously. "Well, I pity her." "Rayana d
Hayden POV I and Skye were pacing out the front of the packhouse. "Let me go alone to find her," Skye told me, making me stop and I darted my eyes downto the border of the, hoping to see Rayana showing up. I shook my head in disagreement. "Why, Hayden?" Skye asked me almost yelling and I flicked a stare at him. "What if she's in trouble?" "You're not going to black moon pack, Skye and that's it!" I said with my alpha voice. Skye's shoulders slumped and he squinted at me in astonishment. "Look, she's my sister too but I won't let you take a drastic step that would risk the welfare of the pack." "Hayden…" "It's only been two hours. Let's wait for her. How can you be certain that she went over to black moon pack to see Rylan?" "Because she wants that. And you know whatever she sets her mind to do…she's gonna do it." Skye." "Just permit me." "No. She might not have gone there. She might be wandering as always." I sniffed. "What's wrong with you?" I asked, slapping his chest
Kathrina POV 'Stay away from Hayden', the words of that dipshit, Rylan kept ringing in my head after I returned from school. 'i will taunt you,' those were the words that shockingly frightened me. The fright I had hearing those words was incomparable to the minor frights I had on two occasions when I was threatened by some senior bullies in the school I went in Hog town. Gram was always coaching me and braving me to face them and that's why mostimes after I had been bullied three times, I showed no fright by their threats. And the bullying totally ceased when they finally came to realize that I was the granddaughter of the town's old,bad-tempered,Abigail Ratchford, my gram.But this time it was different. My gram was no more and Rylan is totally different from the past guys I had faced in Tame town. The tingling sensation I had actually felt for the second time he touched me was odd too. "Where you after lunch break?" Lita had actually asked me while we went home earlier."Did y
Kathrina POVThe next day, I and Hayden were having lunch at the cafeteria at our usual table with Lita."You snuck out yesterday," Lita said to Hayden, leaning forward. He coughed slightly before glancing at me."Are you watching me, Lita?" He asked jokingly and she giggled. "You're having your friend keep a close eye on me?" He asked me and I shrugged."Well, I went out.""Why do you sometimes snuck out and snuck in before school closes?" I could help but ask curiously. "It's kinda creepy," Lita jokes.I watched as Hayden dropped his burger and sighed."I really don't want to keep this from you anymore," he said, placing his hand on mine laying on the table."I actually…run my late uncle's business." My jaw dropped."What?" I asked, squinting at me."He passed away months ago. He has no child so…he actually left me in charge of his business.""Woah, man, that's amazing," Lita said, almost yelling."Ha, ha. You're surely going to be a young billionaire, huh?""Shut it, Lita," I sai
Rylan POVI Couldn't help but smile in amusement just by seeing the shocked look on Kathrina's face. I really stunned her with my unbelievable appearance. I had actually got the news of Hayden coming over for dinner earlier today from Morley. So, I asked if I could drop by also and he accepted. Morley and I are quite close. We've actually been before I had stopped coming to school after my brother's death."This dipshit, Rylan isn't entering and joining us for dinner," Kathrina strongly told Morley, still staring at me with hate. And sincerely speaking, if looks could kill, I would have been six feet under. I shoved the urge to chide her for addressing me as 'dipshit'. I bet that won't change if I speak against it. "Got it, Morley?" Morley didn't answer.She spun and said to him almost in a whisper."You heard me, right?""Move aside, Kathrina do Rylan can get in…""I guess you never told mom or dad that you were inviting a jerk over tonight…""Kathrina," a mild voice cut in and a m
Kathrina POVAfter dinner, I was talking to Hayden on the lawn inside his car."Are Morley and Rylan close friends?" He asked me."I don't know." I huffed. Flicking a glance at him, I caught him staring. "Honestly…I'm surprised as you were earlier. I couldn't believe Morley invited him over for dinner. My mood was totally ruined by his presence.""Same here," he muttered."I'm sorry…I guess you weren't happy to see Rylan.""It's okay." He pecked my lips."Monna said earlier you guys used to be friends. What happened?" His expression turned blank. "I know you…don't want to tell but," I paused to find the right words to say next. I really have been curious lately about the reason why they are now foes."I'm your girlfriend. I deserve to know at least and told me you promised you won't keep things from me. You gotta be honest, Hayden.""We got into a heated argument over a misunderstanding.""Misunderstanding?""Actually…he's just been acting cold towards me since he returned. He misun
Kathrina POV"Goodness, that was too much, girl." Lita sighed. I had told her how the dinner on Friday had turned out with Rylan's shocking appearance and how she had unintentionally ended up slapping Morley.We were making our way into the school building. "I really didn't mean to. It's all Rylan's fault. But I'm glad I settled things with Morley the next morning." Lita smiled."Did he apologize?" She blinked twice, showing her curiosity."Kind of.""Do your parents or Monna know about what Morley went through?""No. And Morley said I should keep it a secret. So don't blurt it out to Monna.""Hey, I'm not a blabber mouth, okay?" I nodded."You are," I whispered-snickered. She slapped my butt lightly and frowned, feigning annoyance."If I really was then Morley would have told you not to tell me.""He believes I won't, so he didn't.""Sour liar." she rolled her eyes as we took a sharp left and merged with the heavy flow of student traffic. It was usually how it goes on a Monday morni
