I groaned before turning my head to brush my lips against his. His hand came up to cup my face as he opened his mouth to let my tongue slip between his lips. As I deepened our kiss, he leaned toward me more, increasing the pressure of our lips. I brought…

–LIA’S POV–
“I didn’t evade you to go on a date with him,” I said.
He looked at me like he didn’t believe me.
“Zane, I swear. He showed up just like you did. Without invitation, without prior notice.”

Zane smiled now. “You’re giving me explanations. That’s cute. But I don’t want those, Lia. I want you to stay with me. Don’t go with him. Turn him down.”
I frowned, glancing down at the flowers in my hands. “No,” I stated. “Why should I do that?”
Zane narrowed his eyes. “What do you mean ‘why‘? He put your in–”
“Harm’s way, I know. He apologised. It was a mistake.”
“It was a plan, Lia,” Zane scoffed. “Not a mistake. He wanted to make himself look good in front of you, and he thought the best way to do that was putting you in danger. He led an actual rogue to school, Lia. It wasn’t the kind of thing where he told a friendly wolf to fake an attack.”
I sighed. “I know. But it’s okay. I have forgiven him.”

“How could you?” Zane asked incredulously.

“The same way I forgave you. The same way I’m standing here with you so close to me and not freaking out,” I replied.
“I didn’t–”
“Yes, you never did. But your friends hurt me constantly for the last ten years, Zane. And you watched. If I can forgive that, I can forgive Blake.”
“You were never in any real danger with The Hounds. You know that.”
“Maybe that wasn’t real danger for you, Zane. But growing up bullied, I’ve had panic attacks and moments I forgot how to breathe. I could have died then too. I could have died in the locker that day before you pulled me out. I could have killed myself after growing too exhausted of the bullying. I could have self harmed. These things—all that your friends put me through—are actually really dangerous for humans. You might not understand because you’re a big bad werewolf, but they’re almost as dangerous as an animal attack.”
Zane lowered his gaze now.
“I know that everything that happened was wrong. And I wish there was a way to take it back,” he said softly.

“I know you do. Which is why I forgave you. But Blake wishes. the same. And I’m going to give him a chance. You keep talking about the Goddess and the bond we have, and how it’s destiny, right? Well, I share the exact same thing with him too. You’ve stolen chances to get closer to me, while he’s asked politely. If I let you close, he deserves a chance too, don’t you think?”
Zane stared at me silently for a moment, then cupped my cheek with his hand. He gently traced his thumb over my cheek, then withdrew his hand. “Don’t dress up too pretty for him,” he whispered. “Please?”
“I don’t have time anyway,” I replied.
“Okay. Good.” He nodded. “I’ll see you soon, Lia.”
“Bye.”
He stepped away from me, slowly walking backwards until he reached the window. Then, he slipped out through the window.
I released a breath, shaking my head.
I was late.
I glanced at myself in the mirror, low–key impressed with what I’d managed to do in fifteen minutes. I had on a blue, silk dress, with spaghetti straps and a V neckline. I’d paired matching heels

with it, and a bronze clutch Mom had gifted me years back. As for my makeup, I had kept it subtle, Zane’s request of not dressing up too much replaying in my memory the whole time. Even the colour of my dress kept reminding me of him, and I wondered if this really was giving Blake a fair chance. Every time Blake tried to get closer to me, Zane somehow beat him to
- it. I didn’t even know how.
I grabbed my phone and forced it into the clutch, before making my way downstairs.
My heart warmed in my chest seeing Blake and Mom lounging on the sofas in the living room, chatting and laughing about something.
As I descended the stairs, Blake glanced at me, and his mouth parted in surprise. He stood up immediately, walking up to the bottom of the staircase, a charming smile taking over his lips.
I smiled back at him, as he offered me his hand and I took it, tingles shooting up my arm.
“Wow, Lia. You look gorgeous. Stunning.”
“Thank you,” I replied. “Didn’t have much time.”
“What are you talking about? This is perfect. Your outfit, your hair, your makeup—everything is… beautiful. And to know your did this to go on a date with me, it’s just incredible.”

I smiled, lowering my gaze as heat rose to my cheeks.
“Smile!” Mom said, and then clicked a picture of us in her phone.
“Mom, come on,” I laughed, glaring at her.
“Quiet, Lia. Let me have my moment, will you?”

I stepped down the staircase, now standing beside Blake. He towered over me, even though I was wearing heels. Stupid. werewolves and their heights.
“Give me a cute pose,” Mom ordered. “Hold her, Blake.”
“Mom,” I tried to protest, but neither of them were going to have it.
Blake’s arm snaked around my waist, and he pulled me closer, to his side. I sucked in a breath, glancing up at him.
He met my gaze, his green eyes boring into mine..
“Perfect,” Mom cried, clicking a picture. “We could have this picture framed in the future. It’s so dreamy.”
Blake’s scent flooded my nose, the proximity, the touch making my senses go wild. His eyes dropped to my lips and lingered for a moment, before he smiled and glanced at Mom. “Thank you for the pictures, Mrs. Snow. Do send them to me.”

“Already did. Go on now. Don’t let me stop you lovebirds.” She happily opened the door for us, ready to shoo us out.
Blake glanced at me again, pulling me out of whatever trance It was in.
“After you, Lia,” he said softly, gesturing with his arm.
