Blades pov
It was hard enough,trying to avoid her all day and to make sure she's safe at the same time.
She was a magnet for danger.
Plus,with the rogue attacking her last week,it wasn't a wonder why I followed her as soon as she left
the cafeteria early.
I remained behind her,near enough to see her,but far enough so she couldnt sense my presence.
Being two fully shifted mates,we could both feel when the other was near,so when she turned around to
see if anyone was behind her,I jumped into the next hall,making sure to remain unseen. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
I followed her further down the hall,ducking and hiding when I thought she'd turn.
I wondered why I was doing this again.
Wasn't my plan to just forget about her completely? Then how did I end up being her invisible
guard,whipped enough to follow her to class.
I convinced myself that I was simply keeping an eye on her so I'd know if any rouges decide to attack.
Then,JI'll inform the pack.
A couple of seconds later,she stopped.
Iran into a gap between two lockers,hoping she hadn't seen me.
I felt her sudden presence and heard her footsteps as she came closer.
I fought my eyelids,making sure not to give in to the feeling of pleasure her nearness brought.
With sudden awareness,I wanted to reveal myself to herphysically and mentally,providing her with
everything she wanted,needed and loved.
limagined myself wrapping up the world in a pretty bow and handing it to her,nervous because I wasn't
sure if it was enough.
I felt her approaching still and dug myself deeper into the lockers.
Her feet came in view first and then her angered face as she placed her hands on her hips and
stuttered with disbelief, A—are you FOLLOWING me?’ I swallowed loudly and searched my brain for
the right words; No,’ I finally decided,"
I was just checking...to see if you're safe."
“What are you,my dad?"
she snapped.
“I'm sorry, I stammered,trying to seem as if unaffected by how beautiful she was when angered.
Her green eyes lit up like lanterns and held a threatening spark that showed she was capable of
damage despite her innocent appearance.
"Look,I don't know what happened the day that guy attacked me but thank you for saving me.
I mean it,thank you.
And for letting me...hug you I guess.
But it's over.
I don't need protection.
I've shifted."
With that,she spun on her heel and marched away,leaving me completely hooked on her line of lovers.
Emerald's pov The school day finished pretty fast after the incident with Blade Russell.
For some reason,I couldn't get him out of my mind.
lreached my house,and found Amanda coming down the stairs,holding a big box labeled Books.
“Hey Em, she greeted in her usual overly high pitched voice.
I felt my ears mentally bleeding and muttered,"
Why are you here?"
“To help Jason move out,’ she replayed,completely unaffected by my tone of voice.
I hated Amanda,and the way she dodged every bullet I sent at her.
But the reason I hated her the most was for stealing away my brother and having him live away from
his family.
I might be exaggerating but she wants him to herself completely.
She's even planning to move to the UK right after university so he would only focus on their future
marriage.
"Don't fall and poke your eye out with one of the books,l'm sure Jason wouldn't find you so attractive
then."
I smirked despite my disbelief when I saw an angry expression cross her face but she quickly covered
it up and smiled,"
You're so right.
Thanks."
Annoyed that she dodged yet another bullet,I headed upstairs,still thankful that she hated me too.
At my room,all my attempts to get Blade Russell out of my mind were fruitless.
I didn't want to admit the way I wanted to throw myself at him and just stay there forever.
The feeling I had gotten when I was near him,I didn't want it to end.
But I was overwhelmed and I knew I had to get out of there before I broke down and hugged him like
last time.
I signed and laid on my bed,thinking of just how much I'd love for my mate to be the same.
