Chapter 33
“Actually I have” I said in a barely audible voice.
Both girls squealed “Who?” Melissa asked
“Is he in this school?” Ren added
“Is he nice?” Melissa also asked
“He’s Ethan” I blurted out and they both froze, staring at me wide-eyed.
“b-but you knew him after he was sixteen. You wouldn’t have left” Ren said
“he rejected me” I stated. They both gasped and started asking me questions. So I told them, I told them everything. And it was relieving cause they were understandable. Don’t get me wrong my boys are understandable but it was nice talking about it without worrying about them losing their anger, and it was
nice to have their opinion.
Melissa and Ren were pissed but promised not to tell anyone. When lunch was done we headed to class
and I was glad I met Ren.
I was walking to my bike at the end of the day, searching through my pockets my jacket for the keys to my bike but I just couldn’t find them. And I wanted to get out of there as soon as possible. I had to also deal with being n the pack house and facing Xavier, something I didn’t want to do yet.
“Looking for these” I heard the familiar deep voice say. I looked at Ethan who had a smirk on his lips and
my kes in his hands
“How did you get these?” I asked and he shrugged
“I have my ways” he said leaning on my bike
“Ethan please just give me the keys. please jus not today” I said pleadingly and Ethan’s expression
softened.
“Look the way I see it” he said walking towards me “You have two options” he held up a finger “One is you go home and get stuck in the house avoiding Xavier, and don’t say otherwise it’s clear you’re avoiding him”
I didn’t answer and stared at him
“Two” he said holding up two fingers”You can come with me and just get away fro a while. No drama,
nothing.”
I snorted and tried to grab my keys “What’s the catch? where would you take me?”
“Somewhere to vent” he smirked knowing it was just what I needed. That kind of agrivated me as I weighed my options
“No talking about the my pack?” I asked and he nodded “Or the…mate thing?” he also nodded. I nodded and without an invitation sat in the passenger side of his car.

“This doesn’t mean I like you” I stated and he grinned
“As long as you’re with me I don’t care” he said and I could have sworn I heard him mumble something like ‘…don’t hate me’ as he turned the car on and left. and then I blinke and realized: I drove out of school with
Ethan
Ethan’s P.O.V.
“So where are you taking me exactly?” Lily asked me as I drove. I looked over at her, grinning because I couldn’t believe she agreed to come with me. Xavier must have screwed up big time. I stiffened as I remembered how pissed off I was at the thought of him hurting Lily. I wanted to know what happened but I wasn’t going to ask her.
“Would it be cliche if I told you it was a surprise?” I asked glancing at her from the corner of my eye.
“Very” she answered and I laughed
“Damn” I clicked my tongue “Guess I’m just lame that way”
“he admits it” she smirked “So really where are you taking me?”
“somewhere fun” I said and she shook her head giving up on trying to find out and stared out the window.
Her beautiful hair hung on her shoulders and covered a bit of her face and I found myself aching to reach out and brush it away to see her beautiful face, but I knew she’d probably hit me so I just clutched the steering wheel tighter controlling myself.
Having her so close to me and not being able to touch her was driving me and my wolf crazy but I couldn’t lose it with her, if I ever hoped her to forgive me I had to, no, needed, to not put pressure on her and just be
be friends with her.
I didn’t have a clue about what Xavier did to her. All I know is the look on her face that night was enough to drive me crazy, sure it offered me a chance to be with her now but not at the expense of her being hurt, her still being hurt about what happened. I could tell that whatever happened made her want to avoid Xavier. Seriously I didn’t see her around any of them all day.
Before I knew it we reached the place and got out of the car to open her door but she was already out.
“You know you just ruined my chances of being a gentleman right?” I asked her and she smirked again
“Darn” she said sarcastically and I rolled my eyes.
“So…paintball I thought guys only did that in movies” She said throwing me a crooked smile
“Hey don’t knock it till you’ve tried it besides I told you I was a bit lame” I said and she laughed. Finally! Something I said made her laugh.
“Fine then come on” she said and we went inside. In a minute I found myself hiding behind some sort of rock looking for Lily.
I looked over it trying to spot her but I didn’t. Damn she was fast as soon as we started she disappeared

and started shooting at me, laughing and joking that she actually replaced the paint ball gun with a real one…at least…i think she was joking.
“Hands up Lytton” She said and I felt something cool at the back of my head
“There you are Marison” I said jokingly “So…uh…you were joking when you said you replaced the gun with
a…a real one right?”
