#Chapter41I helped her out of the car when we reached the cabin. I didn't know about her, or how humans felt when they touched their mates, but when I touched her hand or any other part of her body for that matter, sparks shot through my whole body making me weak in the knees and it made me never want to let her go. I just wanted to touch more of her, not just her hand, every inch of her skin, with mine. Imagine my disappointment when I had to let go of her hand, after helping her out of the car.I turned to face her and saw her taking in the cabin. The cabin looked haunted in the night, I knew that, but in the day, it had its own homely feel to it. She noticed it too, because I could see her lips lift upwards in a smile. Oh, those lips. I had wanted to kiss them so much last night. Hell, I had wanted to kiss her every damn day after I had a taste of them the last time, in the empty classroom. They were, by far, the best lips that I had ever tasted and I wanted to taste them

#Chapter43He chuckled and his shoulders relaxed the first time we had started this weird conversation. "No, we just change into wolves." He turned his head to look at me. I turned my head the other way to avoid eye contact with him, he sensed it and returned his attention back to the front, steering the car on the familiar road of my house.I hated myself for bringing back the weird silence in the car but I couldn't help it. This was a huge matter that I had to absorb and I think I was doing a pretty good job. Harper would prove as a distraction from the matter at hand and I couldn't afford that."What's your species called?" Those words that came out of my mouth cemented everything. I knew Harper and I were different but I had no idea how different we really were. We were practically different species."We aren't exactly different species per se. You could just say, we are an advanced version of humans." I cringed at the way he said the word human, like he wasn't one. "We

#Chapter45I crossed my arms over my chest, which didn't make me look even a little bit intimidating. "Why are you here? And who goes and taps on people's windows at night?"Aiden looked huge in my room, it wasn't that my room was small, it was just that he held an authoritative aura around him right now.He rubbed his hands together, as if to create some warmth. "So, Harper showed you his wolf!"It wasn't a question, it was a statement. He knew that Harper had shown me his wolf.I nodded and the realisation hit me. "Are you a, um,...?"He smiled at me and came to sit on the bed, in front of me, his legs dangling on the side. "A Werewolf?" I groaned. "Please don't use that word." I put my face in my hand and shook my head a little, as if ridding myself of all the problems.No wonder he asked me that so casually. How the hell am I not freaked about it? That a werewolf is sitting on my bed in the middle of the night?"Is it safe to assume that you still have

#Chapter47In fact, I didn't."So you mean to say, that you knew throughout this time, that there was a mate waiting for you and yet, you still slept around with every girl?" My voice raised at the end, every word dripping with venom. I didn't know where the sudden anger had come from, but it was justified. He had absolutely no right to say that he believed everything he said right now, about mates being everything to a werewolf, if it had been the truth, I wouldn't be talking to the man-whore sitting in front of me.His head dropped down in shame and I felt a weird satisfaction blossoming in my gut. He deserved to hear this. I had every right to ask this question, I may have not known about his kind or the fact that we were mates, but I sure knew what commitment was.He smiled at me and looked at me with pain in his eyes. "I have only heard stories, Zara. I have never had a good example of how mates love each other." He fidgeted nervously on the couch and I knew that he di

#Chapter49I opened my mouth to speak something, anything but closed it. I wanted to tell him that after much deliberation and debating with myself, I had come to the decision that I would try being his girlfriend, but the words got stuck in my mouth. Instead, I just nodded dumbly.Harper leaned forward and pecked me on the cheek. My cheeks flamed and I couldn't stop my jaw from hanging open. "That's definitely not what friends do."He grinned and threw his hands outwards, as if embracing the world, and winked at me. "I know". With that he turned around and walked away in the direction of his class.I don't know what that class had been about, all I could think about was Harper. I wanted to be his girlfriend, he had been nothing but nice with me and I liked this side of him. I loved this side of him!I didn't care if it was too early or I was making a rash decision. We were mates and even if I didn't exactly believe in them, we were destined to be with each other and
