Marcus POV   Three days…   Three fucking long days I had been in agony. Worst of all was she managed to simply run away, and now I knew for sure that she wasn’t going to school because she was avoiding me. Ok, one day, two days I am fine with, but three this was too damn much. If she wouldn’t come and face me, then fuck it, I’d find her and we would have the talk. The only pleasure I had now is that our practices are joined, so I got to kick that asshole’s ass even if it was only on the field. Hell… better something than nothing at all. Ugh… the image that was now burned in my memory of his lips close to Olivia’s ear. But again, I was no better myself. I asked Logan to help me find my mate, and I h

Olivia POV   During the car ride, I felt numb. My mind kept going back to Marcus. He came to see me. Warmth and excitement rushed through me at his words, but at the same time, I couldn’t stop the feeling of sadness and anger. What Lizzy had told me about him and his ways, and what I had seen myself at school ripped my heart apart. The thought of that she-wolf drooling over my mate made my blood boil as the anger present inside of me wanted—no needed—to rip off those claws of hers. He was mine… yet he wasn’t. The bitter truth of that reality crushed my heart because we were destined to be together. A perfect fit. But we couldn’t. Being together put his kind and mine at risk, and how could I put my own people in such great danger for the benefit of my own happiness? Goddess, why did

Olivia POV   A new day came and I couldn’t say I was looking forward to it. Not only did I have to go to school but I would also have to see Marcus again. A part of me was excited to see him again, but due to our last encounter, I was feeling nervous. Lying here in my bed, I decided to take a moment to think about all that we said to each other. I was probably a little selfish, but I didn’t want to admit to him that he was right about me being jealous about Samantha. But when he smirked like some pompous jerk, I lost it. I could still see how his eyes went wide when I throw Samantha’s name in his face and he tried to explain, but I just didn’t want to listen. “Oh, dear goodness, was I wrong?” I whispered into the emptiness of my room. A moment later, I saw my door open and James came in with a pot and a spoon slamming i

Olivia POV   Several days have passed, and I have the worst fortune ever. Not only did I not get a chance to try to explain myself to Marcus, but even though we got seated together in both our math and science classes, I haven’t seen him all week outside of class.  Mandy told me that both football teams were having important practices and were training every day, all day because they had some important match this weekend. Well, today was that day and I was supposed to go cheer at the game, and not only was I lacking enthusiasm, but I was also nervous to see him finally. “Ollie! Hurry up or we will be late!” Lizzy shouted from downstairs. Mandy and Annie were already seated in the car and waiting for us. I heard the car horn next and of course I knew who was so impatient—Mandy.

Olivia POV   The sounds coming from the room made us freeze in our place. I could feel my heart beating frantically in my chest as the worst scenarios were playing inside of my head. Could that be Marcus in there with someone? Before I could comprehend what was going on, Annie surprised us and moved past a frozen Lizzie and me and opened the door, barging inside. There were two figures tangled in bed as we stood there watching, wide-eyed, mouths agape. Both figures turned towards us as they were obviously naked, covering themselves as they tried to hide from us. I heard a breath hitch in someone’s throat and then Lizzy ran out of the room. Wide, narrowed eyes were watching us, and it was clear the girl was annoyed at the intrusion we just made, while the guy that was with her had his eyes following Li
