It was happening again. Kael was kissing me like I was the air he breathed, cupping my cheeks like it was the most delicate thing he has ever touched, and when his tongue slipped into my mouth, tracing every depth as if he was trying to memorize it, I couldn’t help the moan that escaped my throat.
My hands found their way to his hair, feeling the softness between my fingers as I pulled him closer. I had been dying to do this since the last time we kissed at the practice room, and doing it again felt… exciting.
He unclasped his seat belt, leaning even closer. My body tensed as his hands fell on my boobs, cupping them through the material. He pressed onto them softly, biting my lower lips as he deepened the kiss, and my body burned with every touch.
I shivered the moment his hands went under my uniform, but I didn’t dare to pull away. He broke the kiss, moving to my neck, kissing and nibbling on a spot at the same time his hands found it way to my boobs. I gasped.
My nipple hardened from the touch, leaving me panting. He looked like he knew exactly what to do, and my body shivered with anticipation. I caved into his touch, enjoying the warmth of his touch on my bare skin. I leaned forward, closing the space between us as our breath went in sync.
For the first time in my entire life, I was ready to take things further with a boy. It didn’t matter whether we were in his car or not, my pants were drenched from just having him close, and I felt the urge to climb on his legs like I’ve seen most girls do in movies and take the lead, but before that could happen, Kael pulled away reluctantly.
I stared at him, wondering what had just happened, as he leaned back on his seat. He brushed his fingers against his mouth, and my eyes followed him.
That looked so hot, and I didn’t think he was aware of how turned on I was at the moment.
“Why did you stop?” I found myself asking before I could stop, and I hated how desperate that made me sound.
A frown tugged his lips, and he was suddenly back to being the usual cold Kael. Everything was going just fine… Did I do something wrong? He was the first guy I kissed, and the first time he took full control.
Maybe I was supposed to do something, too? Did he not enjoy it I heard him make a throaty sound a few times. Was it out of disgust?
My insecurities came rushing back, and I couldn’t help the discomfort that settled in the pit of my stomach. He had been with different experienced girls, and Sabrina is definitely no saint. Both of them seemed to have the longest of whenever they had going on, and there was no way I could compete with that.
It took him a moment, allowing those thoughts to consume my mind before he finally spoke.
“My father is already suspicious since the last time he saw me in our room. We shouldn’t give him more reason to doubt
Us.”
Relief washed over me upon hearing that. He didn’t pull away because he thought I was a bad kisser. He did it because he was afraid of getting caught.
That felt awfully reassuring for some weird reason
“He doesn’t have to find out about this…”
“No,” he said sharply, taking me by surprise. “He definitely won’t nd out because this was just a mistake, and it can’t repeat
itself.”
My stomach churned at his words, and it felt like I had just been tabbed in the chest. A mistake? That is what he think of this? I hadn’t stopped thinking about how good it felt, and he was just going to invalidate that special moment and call it a

mistake.
“Do I really mean nothing to you?” I blurted, even though a part of me already knew the answer.

Kael wasn’t the type to go into a relationship because of a mere iss. He has had better, and he would be getting engaged to Sabrina tonight anyway. What the hell was I thinking?
I waited for his response, but I nodded when I realized I wouldn be getting any. He stared out through the window, avoiding my gaze for the first time tonight, but before I could keep my hopes up, he shattered it completely.
“We’re running late,” he said, glancing at his wristwatch. “We should head home now.”
He dropped me off at the nearest subway station, and I watched his car speed off. I walked home, allowing the cold breeze to calm the storm that was raging in my heart.
It didn’t take long for me to get home since Kael dropped me a few blocks away. I was surprised to see he hadn’t gotten home when I did. A few minutes passed, and he strode in, looking like he hadn’t just shattered my hopes, and I could tell he intentionally stalled for time.
Maybe Alpha Zane would have noticed on a normal day, but today was a big day. He was occupied with friends and family that kept walking in and out of the pack house since I arrived.
Everything had been prepared for the coming-of-age ceremony and all they were waiting for was the full moon to come out so that they could start the ritual.
I had almost forgotten it was tonight. I allowed myself to be so caught up with his thoughts that I forgot he would be getting engaged to another woman tonight.
Alpha Zane had announced a public holiday tomorrow, and yet, all I cared about was why he stopped kissing me and why he wanted a rematch.
Everywhere was filled with a group of people laughing at something the other said while they pretended to like each other.
Who was I kidding? It was as if no low born was invited to the party because everyone present were either ridiculously rich or had a post in the pack.
I watched as my mother took a drink from a maid, gulping it at once while she thought no one was watching, before trying so hard to fit in. She laughed at everything everyone said, and I wondered if they were even funny.
That is the life she wanted. The life she chose, at the expense of my father’s life.
I was about to sneak into my room before anyone from school would see me since most of their parents were here, when Mother saw me.
She flashed me the fakest smile ever, holding my hands like some devoted mother as she introduced me to the people she was talking to.
“This is Nevach, my daughter.
I didn’t pay attention to their conversation, knowing they probably wouldn’t even recognize me tomorrow, when one of them asked about my father.
My body stiffened as I turned to my mother, waiting for her response.
“He was a successful businessman while he was alive,” she blinked back her fake tears and I couldn’t believe even now that she had killed him, she was still ashamed to tell the world who he truly was.
I stood there, watching my mom tell different lies seamlessly, and I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed on her behalf. She sounded so desperate, and even now that she was with the Alpha I doubt anyone would actually consider her as anyone

I finally found a way to ditch my mother, and I didn’t hesitate before doing so. The entire time, she made me question who I was. I wondered if anything that had ever come out of her mouth was true, even when we supposedly have a good relationship.
It was finally the auspicious time for the ceremony. The elders stepped up so that they could begin the rituals and everyone. was asked to head to the garden where the full moon would be glistening in the sky, when they noticed Kael hadn’t come down since he went into his room carlier.
Sabrina’s friends had been parading the pack house the entire time, so I wore a veil to disguise myself, but that also made the guest mistake me as a waitress.
Everyone seemed worried about Kael’s whereabouts, but I couldn’t join them to find out exactly what was happening.
“Where is he?”
“Isn’t he coming?”
The guest began to whisper, and soon, everywhere was filled with noise. I stopped a maid who was just coming from the garden to ask what was happening.
“What is going on?” I whispered.
“I’m not really sure, but it seemed like Kael was missing.”
She hurried off before I could ask anymore questions, leaving me dumbfounded for a while. Missing? What does that even mean?
I turned on my heels to go and search for him, when Sabrina ran down the stairs, panting heavily as she screamed on top of her lungs.
“Someone is trying to kill Kael!”
