“How are you feeling now?” he asked, just as Blake walked into. the class.
I glanced at him, watching how his eyes went from me to Zane then back to me. For a second, they turned completely black.
I sucked in a breath, flinching.
Blake marched up to us, standing beside Christy.
“Can I sit here?” he asked, not even bothering to look at her, his gaze fixated on me.
Christy glanced at me in question. I’d just told her I was avoiding both of them, and now one was sitting behind me, and the other was trying to sit beside me.
“It’s okay,” I told her, not because it was, but because I knew Blake wasn’t going to give up. I didn’t want to create a scene in Mrs. Watson’s class. She was one of the few teachers who still liked me even after my grades dropped slightly.
Christy stood up as soon as I gave her the green signal. Blake sat down in her chair, glaring daggers at me.
“I’ve been worried sick about you, Lia. And you’re sitting here in

class, without a care to text me or call me. You should have let me know at least that you’re fine and in school,” he said.
I opened my mouth to apologise to him, to tell him I ‘left‘ my phone at home this time, but Zane beat me to it.
“She left her phone at home to avoid us,” he stated, making my mouth part open.
I scowled at him, making him laugh. “What? I’m just telling the truth.”
“He says us you did it to avoid us, and yet you’re sitting here with him,” Blake grumbled.
I clenched my jaw, rolling my eyes. “I’m sitting with you too, Blake. Both of you are very alike.”
“Ew,” said Zane, “I am attractive, Lia.”
“Oh really? Says who?”
“Says you,” he replied, smirking. “The way you reacted to my touch last night told me everything I needed to know.”
“Last night?” Blake asked. “You were with him?”
“You three,” Mrs. Watson called, giving us a pointed look.
“Would you care to share your conversation with the class? We’d
love to participate too.”

“Sure,” Zane replied, standing up. “Blake was asking if Lia was with me last night. Lia was about to answer. Tell him, Lia.”
The whole class broke into laughter and chatter, cheering and hooting. I closed my eyes again, wishing the ground would swallow me whole.
“Loser Lia is getting some attention,” Mary sang. “Who thought the world could come to this?”
“And from Zane?” Riley muttered, her grimace evident even in her voice. “That’s just unbelievable.”
“Why so?” Zane asked her, raising a brow. “Why is that so unbelievable… what’s your name?”
“Riley,” she replied. “Because she’s not your type.”
“And what is my type?” Zane asked.
“I don’t know, someone like Sheila? Not her, at least. She’s boring and weird and ugly.”
“Lia is anything but ugly,” Blake snapped, standing up as well. “Maybe you should look into the mirror if you wanna see ugly, Riley.”
“Enough,” I cried. “I am so sorry for disturbing your class, Mrs. Watson. May the three of us leave so that you may continue the

lecture in peace?”
Mrs. Watson looked so disappointed that I wanted to sob.
“Yes, Lia. The three of you may leave.”

“Sorry.” I grabbed my bag and marched out of the class, feeling utterly frustrated and exhausted. Blake and Zane followed after me, their steps casual and relaxed. Once we were a safe distance. away from the classroom, I threw my bag on the floor, facing the two of them. “I have had enough of you both,” I declared, glaring at them. “You’re werewolves, you say. You’re strong and have superhuman strength, you can change into huge animals. Okay, I get it. I get all of that. But I do not understand what either of you want to do with me! Blake, why the hell did you move here? What do you want? What did you come searching for? And Zane. What is this rivalry you have with him that the second he shows an interest in me, you suddenly start acting like you will die if you don’t touch me? I was invisible to you! So what is it, both of you? Are you guys only toying with my feelings? Did the two of you decide that I’m some prize one of you may win? Who selected the two of you to compete for my affections? Why now? Why am I stuck in something I have nothing to do with?” I yelled, a tear slipping down my cheek.
Zane and Blake glanced at each other, then at me.
“Fine,” Zane said, running a hand through his hair. “You wanna know why our lives revolve around you now?”
