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
Kathrina POV"Oh my gawd! Why did you do that, Kathy?" Lita asked me as we walked into class."He deserved it," I said as I made my way to my seat. "Oh, goodness." Lita buried her face in her palm as she buried her face in her palms.Some of our female students burst in and Lita jerked up her head."You see…everyone in the class is going to know about your daring and brazen act. They're distributing the news." I glanced at her and she motioned at the girl who just walked in and her now talking to another group of girls, stealing glances at me."I care less about the gossip." I am just happy about what I did. Rylan's cake-marred face flashed on my face and I giggled, making everyone in the classroom avert their gaze to me.Lita leaned forward and whispered into my ear. "Are you crazy now?" I flicked a stare at her and stopped giggling as I caught the eyes of some students staring. The teacher for the class after lunch break walked in and everyone went straight to their various seats
Kathrina POVWalking into the locker room the next morning filled with other girls grabbing out their class books from their lockers. Taking out my textbooks from my locker for the first two classes this morning, I glanced at three girls who walked in, making some girls In the locker room gasp as they walked up to me.I closed my locker and turned to face them. They stared at me disgustingly and I exhaled as I took a step to leave the room but one of the girls blocked my way. I tried taking another way but another girl stepped out, blocking the way. "Who are you girls?" I asked."I'm Lilly," the girl with golden curly hair said."I am Summer," the girl with pink hair snapped at me."And I'm Ginger," the third girl introduced.They leaned forward and said almost in a whisper. "And…we are going to be your nightmare."I opened my mouth to talk and just then, Trixie walked in, making all the girls in the locker room start leaving, murmuring. I stared at Trixie. Her now red dyed hair was
Hayden POV After school hours were over, I quickly headed out some minutes after Rylan left the classroom, flirting with the brunette English teacher. Getting out of the building, I walked stealthily to the parking lot. I had an important meeting to attend to and I really don't want to get seen by Lita or Kathrina at worst because we are sure to continue arguing about what happened this morning. That's the last thing I would want to do now. I have to deal with urgent matters too at the pack immediately after the meeting with a business partner. Skye has messaged me earlier of the current situation of the pack.Reaching where I had parked my black Range Rover Velar my phone rang. I took it out of my pocket and swiped to receive without glancing at the screen to check who the caller was for I know it probably could be Skye."Skye, I'm on my way. I'm leaving the school now, so…""You've got a meeting tomorrow with the alpha queen and other alpha's from your bloodline," Skye said, int
