Babe's POVHunter interlocked our fingers as he deepened the kiss. I closed my eyes unconsciously and kissed him back with the same tempo that he had kissed me.  I held his shoulder with my other hand and he grabbed my waist with his other hand, pulling me closer to his body.  When I realized the kiss might get out of hand if we didn't stop, I stopped, making us separate. We kept on staring at each other for seconds, not saying a word, just staring into our eyes. I bite my lower lip, trying to control the next words that'll come out of my mouth while Hunter was bringing his lips closer to mine slowly. It was as if he was trying to kiss me but with my permission. "We'll be late for s

Hunter's POVThe door leading to our hideout was firmly locked up with a large padlock that I'd never seen in my entire life. The police had raided the area earlier this morning and after it had been discovered to be a hideout, all materials were confiscated and it was locked up. "Arnold did this, right?" I asked Stanley and he cursed under his breath. I had received a call from him during school hours that he had seen police patrolling the area and he had to hide to avoid getting himself arrested."He did. No wonder Maj hates his daughter's gut"  I hit his shoulder."Don't bring Barbara into this, Stanley. This isn't her fault. The girl was attacked by a vampire yesterday as well" I chastised him.

Babe's POVThe evening sun had cast its long shadows on the ground by the time I stepped out of the hospital. The slanting rays of the setting sun gave a warm orange tinge to the sky. I could see Hunter still waiting in his car. He had his earphones on and his head rested against the seat as his eyes were closed. As soon as I got close to the car, I knocked on the window and Hunter slowly opened his eyes and went on to open the door from inside the car. "Hey, how was it?" He asked once I sat down."She's awake now and she looks better" I informed him, grinning. "That's great. Shall we go home now?" He ignited the engine, ready to drive off.

Babe*Babe, wake up* I slightly opened my eyes at the sudden mention of my name. My head pounded as I tried sitting up and I was forced to lie down again. "Babe, come on, it's Hunter's birthday," Katie nagged and I was forced to open my eyes sharply. I'd totally forgotten his birthday was today, a Saturday, and exactly a day after Liam's birthday. I promise that I didn't drink a sip of alcohol last night but I was up all night and we only had the chance to sleep around five am when we got back to Hunter's place. We slept off almost as soon as we got here. "Stop screaming, Katie. I swear I can hear

Babe's POV"This mate thing is more complicated than what you think" my aunt explained."No! I don't care about the mate thing. I care about the responsibility that my father had towards my mother and me which he neglected because he found his mate," I replied with a raised voice. I swear I didn't mean to scream, but it was necessary. "Your mother was okay with it, Babara" Tears bolted out of my eyes. "No! She wasn't okay with it. Y'all thought she was fine with it but she wasn't. Do you know how I know? That's because I was the one at the receiving end of her brokenness. She drank herself to death's door every night after we left here. For months, my mother didn't know how I survived. You also want to know why sh
