— Abbott’s POV —5 55
When me, Brad and Maggie reached where the prom was held, we saw all the girls saying Hi to me. I was smirking but then it fell cause no one could compare to my mate.7
Halfway through the prom, I didn’t see Lilian anywhere and thought she didn’t come. But soon, Brad found me and he had a serious face on and said, “We need to talk.” I was confused and wondered what he wanted to talk about so we head to the lake to get some air.14
He took a look at the water, then turned to me and said, “Abbott, I need you to be honest with me. Not as your beta but as your best friend. Are you in love with Lilian?” I froze when he said that. Am I in love with Lilian. My heart just thumped even harder when I said her name. The thought of her smile, her eyes, her laugh. I can’t believe it…
I’m in love with Lilian.68
I can’t tell Brad that. He’ll just rub it in my face and say ‘I told you so’. I decided to tell Lilian my true feelings after the dance and lie to Brad. I said to him, “Dude!I told you I just want to break her and no I am not in love with her.” He looked at me and sighed and said sadly, “Abbott are you going to stop trying to break Lilian? Cause from what I’ve seen, you are clearly falling for her.”
I said to him, “Me?! Fall for Lilian?! Hah! Never in a million years! When I get even close to her, I’m gonna reject her and get some other girl to be my Luna.” My heart twisted when I said it. Brad was gonna say something else but was cut off by a tree falling down. I turned to see who it was.31
Oh crap. Lilian.24
She growled furiously her eyes turning even blacker by the second if that was even possible, “Oh, so you are still cheating on me?! I’m gonna teach you a lesson that will make you regret that you ever did that! And no one can ever break me! Why you ask? Because when I was small, my dad told me to never cry except if losing someone that’s close and he said never. I MEAN NEVER TO CRY IN FRONT OF A GUY! BUT CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY ON THAT CATOGORY!” After she said all that, tears were falling from her eyes. My heart broke seeing her like that. She turned to Brad and said to him softly, “Thanks Brad for trying to make him changed his mind.” He smiled apologetically and she turned back to me and glared, “I should’ve never given you another chance. I, Lilian Rodriguez, reject Abbott Davis as my mate and Alpha. Oh and Abbott, you are gonna get a surprise when you go back to the party cause I’ll show you that I will move on.”
I just stared after her and then, “Dude! If you want her back go after her! You didn’t accept your rejection from her, so that means you’re still mates!” It clicked. He was right. We are still mates. I quickly ran after but when I reached there, she was on stage singing a song.47
After she finished singing, she looked at me with hatred, sadness and a bit of regret. I whimpered at her and thought to myself,
What have I done?160
— Lilian’s POV —
After the prom, me, Kevin, Hannah and Sally went home and decided to have a family night since it was Sally’s last night here because she moves in with Mason tomorrow. We played xbox which was dance central and let me tell you, we sure can boogie. Then we watched The Nanny. Hannah wanted to watch some sappy movie but it was three against one so she pouted but when we put in the CD, she was laughing her eyes out. Literally! Tears were pouring down on either side of her cheeks when she saw Fran shaving Mr Sheffield at the wrong place which was his chin. He had to get his appendix out so I guess you know where she had to shave.
Yeuchhh.8
But still funny. Then we all crashed at the family room. And wouldn’t you know it, it was already morning and it was around ten something when Mason came through our front door and said, “Rise and shine sleeping beauties!!!!!” We all groaned and burrowed deeper into our blankets only to be woken up by Sally’s shriek.
“MASON!!!! PUT ME DOWN!!!! YOU ARE SO DEAD WHEN I GET MY HANDS AROUND YOUR THROAT!!!!” yelled Sally angrily when Mason pulled her over her shoulder while I yawned and stretched and said to him while smirking,”Shouldn’t have done that. Mate or not no one disturbs her sleep. Believe me.I woke her up by jumping on her bed at around 8 in the morning to greet her happy birthday only to have her push me to the ground and broke my left wrist for three weeks. Good thing I’m right handed.”
Sally continued to growl and struggle and then when Mason put her down, she actually calmed down once he kissed her. The he pulled a way while Sally pouted and said, “No fair. And I still need my sleep.” I chuckled at the sight of them and then Hannah and Kevin woke up and smiled when they saw Sally and Mason. I felt like a fifth wheel because I have no mate. I do actually since he didn’t accept my rejection so he is still technically my mate.15
I groaned and quickly got off the couch and said, “The sooner we move your stuff in the better. And no it doesn’t mean I hate you Sally. I just don’t want to stay in the pack house for too long.” They all understood and then, me, Hannah and Sally quickly packed her stuff and put it in her suitcase and drove to the pack house.
When we reached there, we went in and went to the living room. Since it was a school day and the pack members are not at home, it was quiet so me, Kevin and Hannah decided to hide beside the door and turn off the lights. When they finally came in, Sally said, “Where did the others go?” Mason shrugged his shoulders but then smirked at her, “Now that we’re alone, what do you wanna do?”he said seductively. I almost laughed and gagged while Kevin was trying to control his growl and Hannah was holding her sides.7
Sally went up to him and wrapped her arms around his neck and smirked at him, “What do you think Mason?” He shivered when she said his name and crashed his lips to her. Then they fell on the couch and started to moan and that’s when I said, “EWWWWW!!!! THAT IS SO NOT PG 13!!!!!” They quickly pulled apart while me, Hannah and Kevin started to laugh hysterically.
When we finally sobered up and looked at their faces we just started to roll around the floor and laugh again! “You *haha* thought we *haha* were gone *hahahaha* when we *haha* were just standing by the *haha* door.”1
When we stopped laughing and looked at their faces, Sally was tomato red! While Mason was glaring at us and was red. I smirked at them and said, “Keep it in your pants love birds.” They blushed even redder and glared at us even more. “We wouldn’t have done it if you were here.” said Mason angrily. Hannah smirked at them and said, “Oh really? Because from where I stand, I can see that you were really turned on Mason.” He smirked at her and said, “Prove it.” She stood up and pointed to his pants and said, “That bulge in your pants is a huge give away. Isn’t it Kevin?” He smirked and said, “Yes it is.” Mason turned red and I knew this was an awkward situation so I said, “OK. Who want’s to watch a movie?”
All of them looked up at me and yelled at unison, “I!” All of them looked at each other with widened eyes and said,2
“JINX!”7
“DOUBLE JINX!”
“TRIPLE JINX!”
“QUADRUPLE JINX!”46
I cut them off and said, “Are you gonna keep saying jinx or gonna watch a movie?” They all looked at each other and said, “Movie.” We went to the kitchen and grab the movie supplies like popcorn, sodas, licorice and other junk food then Mason pointed us to the movie theater room and asked while we each took a chair, “What movie?”
I said, “Let Sally pick since she just moved in and this is her welcoming party.” We all nodded and looked at her. She blushed and said awkwardly, “Can we watch The Boy Who Cried Wolf?” I laughed out loud because that was her’s and my favourite movie. Kevin groaned and said, “Please tell me you don’t have that CD?”42
Mason smiled sheepishly, “Sorry lad but, we do.” And with that he put the movie in, sat beside Sally whilst the movie began.
When the movie finished, I quickly took out the CD and was about to ask if they wanted to watch more but saw them all FALL ASLEEP!!!! INCLUDING SALLY! She must’ve been tired. I decided not to disturb them and let them sleep but took pictures of Kevin and Hannah cuddling and also Sally and Mason and sent it to their phones. I chuckled and went out of the room only to run into a wall.
Wait a minute. Walls don’t breath or move or give me sparks. Then it could only be…28
Damn.8
I looked up and saw a pair of green eyes that were filled with regret and sadness and I almost felt sorry for him.2
Almost.
I quickly pushed him out of the way and ran to some room only to scream and cover my eyes, “MY EYES!!! GOOD LORD GET A ROOM!!!!!” I can’t believe I just saw Brad and Maggie shirtless and wearing nothing but their under garments. I suddenly guessed that this might be their room and my guess was right when Brad said, “This IS OUR ROOM! Now if you would be so kind as to get out.” I quickly took the hint and walked out while still covering my eyes and yelled when I knew I was safely away from the room and door, “Don’t forget to lock the door!” When I heard a click, I sighed in relief and took my hand off my eyes.4
When I turned a corner, I saw Abbott making out with Krystal but I ignored them and just kept walking until I was out of the house and shifted behind a tree and ran to dull my aching heart. I suddenly stopped when I reached a meadow filled with lavender and since it was far from the pack house, I howled in pain, regret, sadness, anger, everything. When I was done, I just layed down and cried and whimpered.41
“He just wanted to break us. I’m sorry I didn’t believe you Lily.” My wolf said while whimpering. I just shrugged and said, “Doesn’t matter.” My wolf just kept whimpering and howling in pain. When she stopped, she asked me,
“Lilian?”
“Mmm?”
“Are you in love with Abbott?”11
I froze at what she asked and blocked her and kept thinking about it. My heart just beats faster when I think of him and imagining his smile and green eyes. That question kept going round and round in my head.
Am I in love with Abbott?
