Aryan- It took me a little longer to reach the parking lot because the kids kept blocking me and trying to keep me away from Kierian. For a minute I thought Liam was on my side because he helped me get to the parking lot. Just before he left his words stung. “Don’t think this means we are good. You have no idea how much you hurt him. If it were me, I would end your life before you took your next breath. You have really disappointed me. I thought you were going to be good for him.” Shaking his head, he walked away before I could speak. Finding Kierian standing next to his car, my mind completely went blank. Everything I meant to tell him tonight or what I needed to tell him now, just evaporated into nothing. It didn’t help that when I was standing directly in front of him, I didn’t know what to say or how to start apologizing. “Since you aren’t going to talk, I am going to take everything that Brianna said as the truth.” Kierian’s voice was flat, and his expression didn’t hold a sin

Aryan-When I walked into school Monday morning, I wished I had called in sick. Brianna, Claire, and Liberty were standing by my locker. Since the locker situation had stopped, I started placing my books back in the locker in the hall. I kept certain things in my gym locker, just in case.“Why are you three here?” I asked when they stepped out of the way to let me access my locker.“We are here to follow through on the bet.” Brianna held her chin up as if she was proud of it.“I can understand you being here, but what about the other two?” I motioned toward her friends. “They weren’t the ones who agreed to the bet.”“That’s what I said.” Liberty muttered but quickly stopped complaining when Brianna glared at her.“Since I can’t be with you every second of the day, they will help me follow you around. If I can’t do it, they will take my place and wait for you to say if you need help with something. I have set it up with the school that we will rotate following you to class just in case

Aryan-I tried to keep my focus on the lesson in Mr. Benson’s room, but it was difficult. Kierian and Connor were having a staring contest the entire time. Since they were both Lycan’s I am fairly sure they were arguing telepathically.I thought that maybe Kierian was acting this way because he still wanted to be with me, but then again, I wasn’t sure. Just as class ended, he got out of his chair and left the room without even glancing at me. I couldn’t let myself think about it.“Are you going to the field after school? Today will be my first time on the team and I would like to have you there.” Connor stopped me at the door, as I was leaving the classroom.I noticed Kierian hadn’t wandered off too far, because I caught sight of him down the hall, talking to Liam and two other guys on their football team. Without thinking, I responded to Connor, while returning my attention to him.“I don’t think I will be going to the field for a while. I found something that will help me find out w

Kierian-“Are we just going to stalk her now?” Liam held the paper he received from the girl at the entrance, with her number on it.“You aren’t even interested in that girl, why did you take her number?” I asked, ignoring his question.“Because I think it is funny. Maybe I will call her, maybe I won’t.” Liam shrugged as he stuffed the paper in his pocket. “Don’t try to dodge my question though. Why are we following Aryan, but not letting her know?”“I just want to make sure she isn’t in any danger.”“Oh please, even I know that isn’t the reason. Ever since Connor came into the picture, you have been asking me and Sylvie to spy on her. You don’t care about anything we report unless we say something about Connor and her talking. Admit it, you are jealous.” Liam laughed as he bumped my shoulder with his fist.“Do that again and I will cut your hand off.” I glared at him.“Oh, so touchy.” Liam feigned a look of horror on his face before laughing more.If it weren’t for the fact that he w

Kierian-“I would ask why you called me here, but I think I already know. It is about Aryan, isn’t it?”Connor was wearing sunglasses, so I couldn’t see the look he was giving me, but I was sure he was glaring. His expression was unreadable, but I didn’t care if he was mad at me or not. If it weren’t for Aryan’s safety, I would send him away as well. Also, unlike with Brianna, I had nothing against him to convince him to leave.Clenching my fist behind my back, I wanted to hit him in the face for putting his hands on Aryan. Liam warned me before Connor arrived, that if I didn’t keep my calm, I wouldn’t be able to convince Connor to help us. Right now, Connor might be the only one that can protect her.“It does.” I nodded as I stepped aside to let Connor into the house.“I think I will stay outside.” Connor looked around for a moment before returning his attention to me. “It might be safer out here, as opposed to going inside where you might kill me and stash my body.”The idea did sou
