–LIA’S POV–

I almost chickened out of going to school the next day, Zane’s threat or ‘warning‘ running in my mind.
But if I did that, I feared he would never leave me alone.
I didn’t entirely believe he would do what he said, or even a part of it. Chances were, he wouldn’t have the guts, and then if he ever approached me or tried to break into my bedroom, I could tell him to get lost. If I stayed home and avoided school, I’d be giving him an excuse. Any time I’d try to blame him, he would say he was going to make our thing public, but I never showed up. So I had to be at school that day, just to prove that his words were just that. Words.
But showing up to school did not mean that I wouldn’t do everything in my power to avoid him. I wouldn’t hide away in places I’d be away from others, instead I was going to hang out in the most crowded areas of school, and have Blake and Christy accompany me at all times. It would make this a lot more challenging for him, and I could bet he would fail at it.
The three of us sat in the cafeteria, pretty close to the counter. I had purposely chosen this table as there were queues of students nearby, making anything that would happen a lot more noticeable. My gaze swept around as Christy rambled on about a werewolf movie she had seen the previous night. It had a

ridiculous plot, where the wolf falls in love with a human and has a baby with her. Werewolves were supposed to be scary and ferocious, magical serial killers who ate people. Not some stupid teenage lover boys who would lose their hearts to human girls.
“And then he grabbed her and kissed her, before sinking his canines into her neck.”
Blake smiled, whilst I grimaced. “What? I thought you said he’s a werewolf.”
“He is!” she replied.
“Then why is he biting her?” I asked absentmindedly.
The Hounds entered the cafeteria, and immediately, my heart. skipped a beat.
I quickly returned my attention to Blake and Christy, my stomach twisting with a mix of unease and excitement.
“Because werewolves bite,” Christy said.
“Isn’t that a vampire thing?” I asked softly, trying to keep my eyes on her. I could not afford to glance at The Hounds again. I had to avoid eye contact with Zane.
“Vampires do that to drink blood. Werewolves do that to claim their mates.”

“Their sexual partners?”
“Their soulmates.” Christy rolled her eyes.
“Right,” I muttered.

“It sounds romantic, doesn’t it, Lia?” Blake asked, resting his chin on his fist, his elbow on the table.
I met his gaze, and heat crept up my cheeks. “Yeah, I guess?”
“It does?” Christy asked. “You sounded like you hate the idea.”
I shrugged. “It depends, I mean, does it hurt?”
“No,” Blake said at once. “It doesn’t if it’s done properly and with both of them consenting to it.”
Christy and I frowned. “How would you know that?” she asked him. “Have werewolves marked you before?” She laughed.
Blake’s eyes did not move from me for even a second.
“Maybe.” He smirked. “Maybe Lia is one.”
Christy gasped, while my cheeks flamed.
“You bit him?”
“No, I didn’t!”

“God, no,” I cried, scowling at her, and then at Blake. “Blake!”
He laughed, shaking his head. “I meant that she’s claimed me as hers. She’s marked my soul with her love.”
Christy deflated. “Boring. I thought things were about to get interesting.”
“They are,” a voice declared, making me freeze.
I glanced at Blake, and then at Christy, their expressions filled
with disdain.
Taking a deep breath, I turned to look at him.
He was staring down at me already, and he smiled when our eyes locked.
“Zane,” I acknowledged.
“Lia.”
I waited.
“What do you want?” Blake snapped, standing up from his chair.

I pursed my lips, standing up as well. “Wait,” I said, placing my hand on his chest. I glanced at Zane. “What do you want?”
“I thought it was clear last night, love.”
Now heads began to turn to us, the people nearby who could hear what he said starting to whisper.
“Last night?” Blake frowned.
“Yes, last night. Right after you left,” Zane replied.
Gasps erupted around us.
My eyes widened. Why would he say that?
“What is he talking about, Lia?” Blake asked, grabbing my arm. His hold was harder than I expected, and I winced.
“Let go of her,” Zane said immediately, stepping closer to us.
“Stay back,” Blake snapped. “This is between the two of us. Lia, what is he talking about?”
