Noah~•~I woke up the next morning feeling a little bit relieved. Aiden had spent the night in my room to keep me company. I was half awake when he quietly left early in the morning, but I was too sleepy to say anything.With a loud yawn, I sat upright on the bed and stretched my body. I didn’t have classes so I had a free day until 5:00 pm. It was the day of the winter formal. I was excited about it because it was my first experience as a college student. I went into the bathroom to take a nice shower before heading downstairs to make myself breakfast. “So Aiden spent the night in your room? Huh?” I heard Jessica’s voice as I trudged down the stairs. “Yes, my boyfriend spent the night in my room,” I said with a sigh and kept on walking. Jessica already knew what her fate was and it was obvious she got jealous whenever Aiden and I were together. I understood how she felt, I was once the girl who got rejected by her mate. The pain was unbearable and it wasn’t easy to move past it.

Noah~•~I closed the car door and walked to where they stood. Katie was standing at the corner smiling sheepishly. My surprised face wasn’t hard to miss. “What?” I asked again. “Are you? I didn’t know you….. Wha…what?” I sputtered, unable to form a coherent statement. “Yes, they’re dating and in loveee.” Katie finally said what I was trying to convey. “Wow!” I muttered in disbelief while Angela and Sarah stared at me with wide smiles. “Why didn’t anybody tell me about it?” I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself. I never thought of Sarah as gay. Even if she didn’t talk about boys or having crushes on them, I thought she just felt she wasn’t old enough to do so or something. “It was kind of my little secret.” Sarah giggled, putting her right hand over Angela’s shoulder. “You know with Angela being a vampire and all, I wasn’t ready to open up.” She admitted and my heart leaped for joy. “I’m so happy for you,” I said with a smile, pulling her in for a hug. “But I thought I w

Noah~•~“Wh…y… will he sa…y that?” I asked, failing to form a coherent sentence. My disappointment mingled with the anger simmering inside me. “It’s probably because I broke up with him,” Katie said with a sigh, running her hand through her hair. “Does he know how serious the situation is?” I asked, wiping off the bead of sweat from my forehead. “Give me the phone, let me talk to him.” I extended my hand to Katie. “I told him about everything. Don’t waste your time, when Scott says he isn’t going to do something, he doesn’t go back on his words.” “Fuck!” I cursed through my gritted teeth. We finally had a possible solution for Angela but we just couldn’t find a witch to do a locator spell. “Can you believe Aiden was aware that a hybrid blood could save Angela but didn’t mention anything about it?” “What?” Katie asked in surprise. “Why did he stay quiet?” “I have no idea but let’s just focus and think about how we can find a witch to do the locator spell,” I said, pacing back an

Noah~•~I spent the previous night at Katie’s house. Her parents weren’t still back from their trip so we spent the whole night laughing, chatting, and watching movies. It had been over five days since the winter formal. Everything was back to normal and I was having the time of my life. Except, Aiden and I weren’t on talking terms. He decided to let me be when he tried talking to me several times but I was shutting him out. I just needed space and a little time away from him. I didn’t know if it was only because he didn’t tell us about the hybrid blood but I couldn’t bring myself to be around him. Jernard, on the other hand, hadn’t given us any problems since then. He just distanced himself and claimed he wanted to start his pack. Since he wasn’t causing any problems, everyone left him to do whatever he wanted to do. “It’s 11 in the morning. Wake up!” I tapped Katie who was still fast asleep when I was tired of staying awake alone. She groaned and turned to the other side of the

Noah ~•~The past few months had been really difficult and lonely for me, so I was very relieved when I had that conversation with Aiden. I felt pain and anger when I found him kissing Jessica but it was actually kind of my fault. I was the one who pushed him away, knowing his true mate was living under the same roof with him. It got better when I found out he had rejected her but things were still awkward between us. I was glad I was able to find some clarity and I couldn’t stop smiling when I thought about the moment we just shared. “I’m ready to go!” Aiden’s husky voice interrupted me from my thoughts and I jerked back to reality. “Let’s get something to eat first, I’m really hungry.” “Dimitri left over some pancakes before leaving this morning,” I informed him. “They’re on the kitchen counter.” He took my hands and we both went to the kitchen. He forced me to have some of the pancakes even if I had already eaten cereal earlier. Soon enough, we were done eating and we made
