-Corrine-“What? Who said that?” I didn’t mean to snap at Emily, but emotions got the better of me and I unconsciously let my anger slip out.Emily frowned slightly. “All of our high school friends know about it,” she said, sounding more careful this time. “I don’t know who said it first, but now all our friends know that you’re trying to get Andrew’s attention when he doesn’t care about you.”I leaned back and took a deep breath while lifting my chin. I wanted to say that not only did Andrew care about me; he was my mate. He wanted me. And I witnessed with my own eyes how Andrew rejected Kasey when she tried to seduce him at the club.I almost exploded in Emily’s face, but then I realized there was a better way to show them all what my relationship with Andrew was really like.“I think I’ve changed my mind,” I said later, giving her the sweetest smile possible. “I’ll come to your birthday party.”Emily’s worried face immediately brightened. She clapped her hands and squeaked, “Really

-Corrine-The embers of passion ignited inside me, grabbing all my senses as quickly as Andrew lifted my body and carried me onto the hood of the car.It’s all a blurry scene of fog and sighs, and the warmth of his breath and lips on my skin.I closed my eyes and jerked my head back, giving my neck and chest completely to him as he tore off my clothes and kissed my body as if the kiss would keep him breathing.The cool night breeze brushed against my nearly naked upper body, but the kisses and light nibbles he placed on my breasts made the heat wash away the cold.“Andrew...” I chanted his name, worshiping him like I worshiped The Moon Goddess.My elbows supported my almost supine body, while Andrew’s arms stretched out, trapping me. His face was now buried in my lower abdomen.This blinding pleasure made my head spin and my lips cried out short moans that grew more and more intense as his lips continued to descend and his hands deftly unbuttoned and zipped my pants.Just as I was pre

-Corrine-“Is he picking up?”“No.” Eva lowered the phone from her ear and stared at the screen. “This is weird. Usually, he always answers my calls.”I tried calling him a few hours ago, then I thought maybe Andrew didn’t answer my call because he didn’t recognize my phone number. That’s why I asked Eva to call him. And the result was the same.“Did something happen to him?” I asked, worried.Did he get into a fight or have an accident during the race?“I’ll try to call him back later,” Eva said. “You can try texting him. He’ll definitely reply, and probably call you, after reading your message.”I did what Eva told me to do.But a day passed and there was no reply from him.Was it like Melanie said? That he dumped me after getting what he wanted?The suspicion couldn’t escape my mind, far outweighing my anxiety about his safety. It didn’t rule out the possibility that he was going through something, but I almost eliminated that possibility in favor of the former.And I hated myself

-Corrine-Andrew grabbed the door handle. He was about to leave me, but I’m not a girl who would let someone walk out of my sight without giving an explanation.I pulled his hand and pushed him away from the door. Then I stood in front of the door and spread my arms, blocking his way.“Explain.” My teeth clashed so hard that my jaw ached. “Don’t try to leave me in the dark. I hate it the most when someone just runs off and leaves me without an explanation.”“Then I did the right thing,” he retorted. He looked no less tense than I did. “I need you to hate me. It makes things easier.”I poked his chest with my forefinger. “I’m not a girl who likes ease. And I decided to be with you, not because things would be easy.”I boldly shot him a glare. Although I knew he was more than capable of crushing my body with his perfect muscles, in my heart, I was sure he wouldn’t hurt me. At least his wolf wouldn’t allow him to do so.His gaze moved from my face to my finger on his chest, then back to

-Corrine-It was Trevor.I was pretty sure Trevor recognized who Andrew was. Because of the way he was looking at Andrew right now, it was clear he wanted to kill him. The only thing holding Trevor back was the people around us.Trevor approached me in three long strides. Eva followed him, skimming the situation and realizing something was wrong, though she didn’t know what it was.Roughly, Trevor pulled me away from Andrew until our grip on hands broke.“What are you doing?!” He hissed and glared. I’ve never seen Trevor this angry at me.“I—“I didn’t have time to say anything when Trevor pointed his finger at Andrew. “You—“ As if pointing at him was not enough, he grabbed Andrew by the collar of his T-shirt and gave him a firm grip. “Stay away from my sister.”Everyone around us stopped to look at us. This was the second time I was a spectacle at Emily’s birthday party, and this time it wasn’t for the good. Some of them even openly brandished their cell phones to record this inciden
