Chapter 143 – Uneasy–1
–LIA’S POV–
I held Zane’s hand as we walked toward the lockers, passing by hoards of chattering students and excited girls talking about dresses and dates. Someone cheered loudly, turning all heads towards them. A group of boys was doing a fully choreographed dance for a girl, who was staring at the one in the middle, smiling:
I laughed, amused.
“What?” Zane frowned, stepping in front of me to block my view of them. “Why are you so happy?”
“Hey,” I clicked my tongue, trying to move around him to watch.
Zane moved with me, scowling. “I already asked you for prom, love, and you said yes. No need to watch others anymore.”
I laughed incredulously. “What? So?”
“So… people are being extra for no reason,” he muttered. “What’s the point? Where is the heart–felt confessions? All this is just for show.”
“And I would like to enjoy it,” I said, pushing him aside, but linking our arms.

“You don’t think I did too little, right?”

“Of course not!” I replied, shooting him a look. “I love you. You could’ve asked me with a paper ring and I would still say yes and think of it as the most romantic thing.”
Zane smiled now, deflating. “Okay then. You can enjoy this.”
“Idiot.”
We stood watching the dance, commenting about how it was longer than we expected. The Hounds and Chris joined us a moment later, the two girls whispering and giggling about prom dresses and hairdos. Their excitement shone in their
eyes, and Chris quickly approached me, yanking my arm free from Zane’s. He scowled, but didn’t say anything.
“I can’t believe Sheila’s wearing that black velvet dress,” Christy squealed, eyes wide. “It’s so sleek and perfect for her. She’s going to knock everyone out.”
Sheila laughed, nudging Christy lightly. “Stop, you’re making me want to dump Aaron and go with you instead.”
“In her dreams,” Aaron announced, wrapping a protective arm around his mate.
“My dreams about her are much wilder than prom, honey,” Christy said, winking. Before Aaron could retort, she continued, “Have the boys bought their tuxes yet? What about you, Lia?

Did you decide on a dress?”
“I did,” I grinned. “I’m sticking with the red one.”
Zane smiled. “Perfect. I’ll wear a matching tic.”
“Aw,” Christy cooed, “werewolves are excited for prom.”

“Definitely,” Sheila chuckled, gazing up at Aaron. “It’s the most romantic night of junior year. And I think we both need a break from all the wolf stuff.”
I nodded. “Yeah, all that can wait for one night.” I glanced at Christy then. “What about you? Did he ask you yet?”
Christy’s eyes widened, and she shot me a look that said ‘shut up‘.
“Ooh,” Ajax hooted, smirking. “Who’s this ‘he‘?”
“No one,” Chris said, scowling at me. “No one yet.”
“A secret crush,” Warner said in a bored tone, with a straight face.
“Shut up.” Christy smacked his arm, making him frown.
“We’re not this chill with each other yet,” he muttered, moving away from her.

Zane, Aaron and Ajax burst out laughing.

“What about you two brothers?” I asked, glancing from Ajax to Warner.
“We have each other,” Ajax shrugged.
“And no males yet,” Warner added.
“That’s so sweet. You refuse to look in any other girl’s direction, don’t you?”
“Yes.” They said in unison.
crowd around us shifted as
We reached the lockers, and the crowd around us shifted as people opened doors and grabbed books. Zane turned to me, eyes steady and calm.
“Ready for tonight?” he asked.
I nodded. “More than ready. I’m looking forward to it.”
“Good,” he said, pressing me against the locker. “Because I’m not letting anything ruin our night.”
I smiled, raising an eyebrow. “Mhm? You have anything special planned?”
He leaned in to my car, so his breath would fan against the skin of my neck, making me shiver. “Just don’t forget to carry lipstick

and concealer. You might need to redo your makeup by the end.”
My eyes widened, butterflies erupting in my stomach. I slapped his arm, and he laughed at my reaction, pulling away.
“You’re such a lease, Zane,” I said, before my gaze shifted to someone behind him. My smile faltered slightly.
Blake.
He was staring at the two of us, like he wanted to talk. Zane noticed the shift in my expression, or maybe scented him, because he turned towards him.
Blake stepped forward.
“I was wondering when I’d run into you guys,” he said, offering us a small smile.
Zane’s grip on my hand tightened slightly. I didn’t say anything. Neither did he.
Blake looked around at all of us, then stepped in front of Zane. “Hey. Before anything else, I just wanted to say I’m sorry.”
Zane looked bored. “For what this time?”
