You guys should pardon me.I've been a little busy...Semester's here again;book work,assignments,bla bla bla...But I think I'd be able to bring up one or two updates...but not now plzzz...Its gonna come later.

Chapter Twenty ought to have started in my last update but I don't hink it will do much harm to have it here...

CHAPTER TWENTY

I slapped hands with Ellie and snickered.

"How's...uh..."

"Damian? Good."

"How did-"

"Ellie I know you two are mates. I'm

supposed to be helping Damian get you back

from Zane."

Our conversation was hushed while Linnie

chattered loudly to Zane about the many,

MANY problems with us being mates. I

rolled my eyes.

"Out," Zane pointed at the door and

narrowed his eyes.

Ellie immediately walked out without looking

at him. Linnie opened her mouth but he

growled deeply at her so she stomped off

after Ellie. Zane shoved the door and it

slammed closed loudly. I smirked at him and

leant casually against the cabinet behind me,

bending one leg to place my foot against it.

"Well, maybe you should listen to your

cousin Zane. There are a lot of issues with

us," I said snidely.

Zane seemed to glide over to me and

slammed his hands down on the cabinet on

either side of me. I jumped slightly but

kept my face relatively calm.

"Yeah but I cannot find the will power to

stay away from you because you're so

addictive Alexis. You're rarely nice to me

but it's worth being around all the meanness

to get to the little bits of nice," he said

darkly.

I stared at him in surprise. Well don't I

feel like a bi-

"Don't," Zane ordered.

"Don't what?" I replied with an arched

eyebrow.

"I can tell you were about to insult yourself

in your head," he elaborated.

"Psht, why would I insult myself? I'm

awesome," I brushed him off as I ducked

under his muscular arm and sauntered over

to his desk.

The dull ache of heat had taken permanent

residence in my stomach but at least it was

better than the agonising pain of last night

and earlier today.

"I guess you are," Zane conceded, "but then

I'm awesome for having an awesome mate."

I wrinkled my nose and juggled his

paperweight and stapler. The door suddenly

slammed open so hard I thought it'd come

off it's hinges. I spun in surprise, seems

like a regular occurrence for me to be

surprised nowadays, and dropped the

paperweight and stapler. Luckily both

missed my now bare feet.

"I'm here for my sister," Damian said

angrily.

Ah, I forgot I was supposed to stick with

him and avoid Zane.

"She's in heat, would you really be so

selfish?" Zane snarled viciously.

"Selfish? I understand that you're her

mate so you two are an item now. Fate

intended it and I can't get in the way,"

Damian said furiously.

"Wait we're a thing?" I gestured between

Zane and myself but was ignored.

"It's you who won't accept that Ella is MY

mate and you have no right to stand in the

way!" Damian's voice rose and I pursed my

lips.

"I can see some serious stuff is about to go

down. So I'll be outside," I said before

leaving the room and shutting the for

behind me. I leant on the door, not wanting

to go too far away and risk the wrath of

heat again.

Ok....I'm back.My day was great.Hope your's was too?Let's see what we can do...I'm itching to get this story done with.

That'll be all for now.See y'all later.I'll.update this night ceteris paribus.

I was impressed. I'd been in here before
but I hadn't really been paying that much
attention. Zane's office was amazing, better
than Father/Damian's office.
Zane was working silently, seemingly
completely absorbed in whatever was on the
scattered sheets on his mahogany desk. I
was entertaining myself by going through
the many cupboards and drawers in here
then inspecting the contents. There was a
knock on the door and I looked up, my
hands freezing where they were rummaging
through a drawer. Zane got up gracefully
and strode confidently to the door. Damn,
even his walk was sexy. He opened the door
and quirked an eyebrow at whoever was out
there. I tilted my body backwards slightly
and my dark eyebrows furrowed when I
saw a female. Jealousy sprung up inside me
but I forced it down. Don't go acting all
crazy she-kitty on people Alex, I warned
myself.
"Yes Linnie?" Zane inquired.
"I heard a special lady is here," Linnie said
smugly.
Zane scowled and I stared at him in
amusement.
"Yes, what of it?" Zane muttered, his eyes
flicking over to where I was twirling a
bejewelled pen round my slender fingers.
"The pack want to meet their future Luna
Zane, they're getting antsy," Linnie
explained calmly.
I spluttered on...well air. Future Luna?! I
would make a terrible Luna! I can't lead
people...or make rational plans...come on, I
came here for revenge and now I'm best
friends with my oldest brother and standing
in the rival Alpha's office in HEAT?!
"She's in here?!" Linnie exclaimed.
She barged past Zane roughly with a
bemused Ellie on her heels. Ah, I see
everyone is friends. Ellie shot Zane a glare
as she passed him and Zane glowered back.
Maybe not then.
"Hi, I'm Linda but everyone calls me Linnie,"
Linnie introduced herself with a bright
smile, "I'm Zane's cousin."
"Alexis Matthews," I said coyly.
"Matthews?!" Linnie spun to look at Zane in
open-mouthed shock.

"Live here?" I quirked a dark eyebrow at
him and he smirked.
"Of course, it's only logical," Zane said
calmly.
"No-"
"As soon as you get a few steps away from
me you're crippled by pain and arousal,"
Zane said smugly.
"Bull-crap," I swore.
I pushed myself off the counter and strode
out the kitchen door angrily. I made it
halfway down the hallway. Pain hit me hard
in the gut and I groaned as I doubled over.
Immediately it dulled and I looked up to see
Zane beside me with an expressionless
face. Even though his features held no
emotion, his eyes shone with pain and
worry.
"Don't do that again," he said gruffly,
putting his hand on my back.
I just grunted in response and stood up
straight, breathing in and out deeply.
"I have some paperwork to do. Coming?"
Zane said emotionlessly.
I glanced up, what was wrong with him? He
never acted this way around me. Zane began
walking and I quickly moved so I was
walking beside him. I'm not dealing with
that pain again. I slid my hand into his, my
cheeks burning out of embarrassment at
the action. Not a flicker of emotion passed
his face but his hand closed tightly around
mine.

"Thank you Lea," I murmured.
"It's cool," Lea said with a knowing grin.
I rolled my eyes and eased myself out of
the car.
"Zane," I growled out.
Zane froze, his hands poised to throw the
basketball into the net and the muscles in
his back rippled. With a quick move, Zane
tossed the basketball and got it perfectly
into the net. Slowly, he turned to face me
and arched a perfect blond eyebrow.
"Time to mate? Mate," he said smoothly.
"Over my dead body," I said snappily.
Zane smirked and stalked over to me, his
movements graceful and similar to a
predator.
"Well there'll come a day when you'll be
begging on your knees," Zane taunted me,
"until then...I'll take care of your heat in
another me shall I? I'm sure you'll taste
divine."
I bristled, my face twisting into a scowl.
"I meant your lips, sweet cheeks," Zane said
with a laugh.
He leant down and captured my lips with his
own, a burning sensation spread through me
but it was different to the burn of heat.
This burn was pleasant and delicious. It
took over the other burn leaving the pain
and discomfort behind. I bit his lip to make
him open his mouth then I set about
exploring with my tongue. His strong mint
and spicy taste took over my senses and
seemed to set my body alight. I pulled back.
"Get me a drink, monkey," I ordered but my
voice had a slightly teasing edge to it.
Zane glowered at me but wrapped a strong
arm around my waist and lifted me up
against his chest. He walked into the house
with me and down the hallways. I noticed a
curly haired female bite her lip lustfully as
she checked Zane out when we walked past.
I bared my teeth at her and she flinched
into the wall. I honestly don't know why I
did that. Zane sat me down on the marble
counter top in the kitchen and set to getting
me a glass of what looked to be apple juice.
"Here," he handed me the glass and I drank
it gratefully.
"Thank you," I said.
"I saw that," he stated.
I frowned, pausing with the glass halfway
to my mouth.
"Que?" I asked.
"You baring your teeth at that girl," he said
with an arrogant smirk stretching at his
lips.
I wrinkled my nose and drank the rest of
the apple juice.
"I don't recall doing anything of the sort," I
said simply.
Zane winked and leant in to give me a chaste
kiss on the lips.
"I'm going to enjoy this heat. Having you
living with me for the week or so that it
lasts and being able to kiss you without you
complaining or pulling away. Mm, I'm going
to very much enjoy this," Zane said smugly.

CHAPTER NINETEEN

I stretched out in my bed and moaned. I
was so...hot. My toes curled and I fought
the urge to go find Zane. Grabbing my
stomach, I whimpered quietly at the burn.
There was a knock at the door and Lea
peeked inside my bedroom.
"Go find Zane, Alexis," Lea urged softly.
"Hell naw," I said in a southern accent.
Lea chuckled and stepped into the room,
gently shutting the door behind her.
"What if anyone but Damian and I enter?
How you going to explain heat to them
without giving away what you are?" Lea said
sensibly.
"I'm not mating him!" I argued.
"You don't have to. Heat is permanently
removed by mating. Heat is temporarily
removed by acts that bring about a...you
know...in one of the couple-"
"So...oral? On either of us? That
temporarily removes it?" I said in disbelief.
Lea nodded with an amused smile plastered
on her pretty face.
"Kissing removes it for the length of the
kissing and five minutes afterwards if the
kiss lasts longer than a minute," Lea added.
"I could probably get behind kissing...at a
PUSH," I decided reluctantly.
The heat was unbearable so I could
momentarily put aside my reluctance of
being with Zane.
"Being in his arms makes it into a dull ache,
just a little discomfort in the abdomen."
I nodded, that one was definitely in my
interest.
"Being near him dulls it to average
discomfort. Being apart from him makes it
virtually unbearable," Lea finished.
"Does he feel this stage?" I inquired
curiously.
"He doesn't feel it to your extent, but he'll
be in a constant state of arousal. Your scent
will become really addictive and he'll get
extremely possessive of you as other males
who aren't related will get aroused by your
heat scent. He'll see red if a male even
looks at you, natural reaction. Your brother
punched my history teacher for telling me I
smelled nice," Lea explained sounding
utterly bemused.
My eyes widened and I couldn't help the
laugh that escaped my dry lips. That was
pretty funny. I'd love to see Zane so
angry...and at the same time it would take
away the insufferable heat.
"Just think about it," Lea said with a small
smile.
That said, she left the room and I muttered
a few curse words as I rolled off my bed. A
light layer of sweat coated my body and I
peeled off the baggy top to replace it with
a neon blue vest top. With a sigh, I managed
to wrestle the leggings off to replace them
with grey track suit bottoms. I sat down
with a drawn out hiss and slid some trainers
onto my feet.
"Lo que es la vida," I muttered darkly.
[What is life]
Taking a deep breath, I shuffled out the
room and slowly headed down the stairs. My
body protested to the movement, pain and
aching springing up all over. It was like
being on my period but much, MUCH worse.
Swallowing, trying to take away the ache of
my dry throat, I moved slowly out the front
door.
"You won't get anywhere like that, let me
drive you," Lea offered.
I nodded submissively and followed Lea to
her bright pink bug. She opened the door
for me and I slipped inside with a grateful
smile thrown towards her. Lea shut the
door and I watched her walk round the car
with a happy smile. After mating with
Darren she seemed to be on cloud nine
constantly. She climbed into the driver seat
gracefully and started up the engine. The
vibrations of the car slightly soothed the
pain and I slumped against the car seat. The
ride was silent, beside the low sound of the
music. The car pulled up to Zane's house
and I saw he was shirtless, playing
basketball with a few of his pack members.
How cliche.

I came back from a meeting after class very late and so wasn't able to do much.Lemme give you guys something to hold on to before I rush to class...
Would dat be ok?

"Yes?" I inquired, tilting my head to the
side.
He evidently wished to speak with me.
"It's not over Alexis," Zane warned and I
frowned at him, "Ella-Marie isn't going
anywhere near your brother."
"Then I'm not going anywhere near you," I
replied evenly.
Zane's eyebrows furrowed.
"Why are you sticking up for him?" Zane
demanded.
"He's my brother! Why are you so against
him? So he's the Alpha of the other pack!
He'll love Ellie. Can't you see you're hurting
her by separating them? My brother won't
stop until he gets her...and you won't get
me," I said angrily.
Zane growled at me but I used my thumb
and finger to grip his cheeks and shake his
head.
"Don't you growl at me Mister," I said with
narrowed eyes.
Zane's eyes twinkled and he grinned at me.
Slowly he pulled my hand off his face and
shook his head in amusement. In a quick
movement, before I could pull back, he leant
in and kissed me. Holding my face still, Zane
placed chaste kisses around my face for a
few seconds before gently biting my nose.
"You'll be mine," he promised.
Zane disappeared off the porch and into
the woods then, leaving me stood there
stunned.
---/
I felt a burn creeping into my stomach and I
dropped the paintbrush, clutching my
abdomen in pain. I hissed out a breath
through my teeth and bent double.
"Oh no, oh nooo, ah," I murmured.
Clenching my jaw, I groaned and my
eyebrows furrowed.
"Why is this happening?"
I fell to my knees and sucked in a deep
breath.
"Welcome to heat," Lea spoke up.
I glanced at her over my shoulder to find
her leaning on my doorframe with a smug
expression.
Heat.
Dear God, no.

Alexis!" he said loudly.
"You'll fit in well," I decided before walking
towards the kitchen.
"Nice to see I have your girlfriend's
approval," Gage muttered.
I froze and spun round.
"Girlfriend?" I pointed at Zane warningly
and narrowed my eyes.
"Yes, you ARE my mate Alexis," Zane
confirmed with a dirty smirk.
"You never even asked me," I put my hands
on my hips and gave him my best sassy look.
"Would you have said yes?"
My look faltered.
"Well no...but I never said yes anyway
therefore I'm not your girlfriend," I
retorted.
Zane shook his head at me. I was doing well
at containing the mind-blowing arousal I had
for him due to the mating bond thing. If I
didn't have so much control I might have
jumped him by now. Seriously, the way his
muscles flexed as he crossed his arms and
his sinfully sexy lips curled into a dirty
smirk. I abruptly turned and walked away
before I did something I'd regret.
"Hey," I greeted the female leant on the
kitchen counter.
"Hey stranger," Lea replied with an easy
going grin.
"So..." I inhaled and smirked.
Lea's cheeks flushed and she cleared her
throat.
I snickered and opened the fridge, scanning
it for something to eat.
"Completed the mating last night," Lea
mumbled.
"That was you? I thought a cat was being
mauled by a bear," I said indifferently.
Lea looked highly embarrassed when I
glanced at her over my shoulder and I
chuckled.
"Kidding, I didn't hear a thing. Didn't even
realise you were here doing the nasty," I
soothed her.
Lea sighed in relief and I snorted in
bemusement.
"So...? How did-"
"No! No, no, no, no! We're not discussing
it!" Lea cried out.
"I was just going to ask how he got you into
bed. I don't want to know details!" I said in
disbelief as I opened the orange juice
carton.
I pulled a disturbed face and Lea blushed
again.
"Well we were watching this romantic film
and...Darren had lit some candles. We were
just kissing and then...you know..." Lea
explained.
I nodded and took a swig of the orange
juice. Darren walked in at that moment
wearing a purple shirt and black basketball
shorts. A smirk was plastered to his face.
"Well someone looks like the cat who got
the cream," I said in a fake southern drawl.
"More like the wolf who got laid," Kieran
tossed into the conversation as he walked in
after Darren.
It seemed like the males in this house liked
basketball shorts as Kieran was wearing a
white pair with his red shirt. That's three
so far out of the three inhabitants of the
house I've seen.
I laughed at Kieran's comment and Lea
flushed a dark red. Darren just grinned
wolfishly and dragged her in by her hips to
plant a kiss on her lips. Kieran and I fake
gagged. I put the orange juice back in the
fridge and shut it with my hip. Bored of
seeing the love birds make out, I left the
kitchen and headed outside to the porch at
the front of the house. I hadn't been out
there long when Zane and Gage left the
house. Zane wordlessly nodded at Gage and
Gage walked off into the forest.

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
I chewed my gum and eyed the track warily.
"You want me to run round that?" I asked in
disbelief, "five times?"
"You need to build yourself up. You're a
werecat, you need to train yourself to be
strong and fast," Damian informed me,
"rogues are out there and with your
brother being an Alpha of a powerful pack
and your mate Alpha of another powerful
pack you'll be targeted more than most. You
need to be able to protect yourself."
I threw my head back and groaned.
----
I groaned and clutched my stomach tiredly.
"You are the most unfit werecat I have ever
met!" Damian exclaimed.
"How many werecats have you met?" I
wheezed.
"Twenty seven! And five were between
eleven and sixteen!" Damian replied.
I just moaned and tried to catch my breath.
"Damian!" I whined.
He snorted and held out his hand to help me
up. Once I was up, Damian threw me over
his shoulder and walked back towards the
house. I was too tired to even protest.
"Where have you two been?" Darren asked.
"I've been training Alexis," Damian replied
simply, sitting me on a stool in front of the
marble island.
"Training?" Douglas paused with his spoon
halfway to his mouth and quirked an
eyebrow.
"There's a lot of bad guys out there...and I
want our sister to be able to protect
herself. Nothing wrong with learning self
defence and getting fit," Damian explained
casually.
Damian set down a glass of apple juice in
front of me and I gratefully drank it,
muttering a tired thank you. Once I'd
finished, I dragged my weary body upstairs
to shower.
---/
I dressed casually in a black maxi dress
that came down to my mid-shin and I put a
white belt round the middle then slid black
sandals onto my feet. Dragging my hair into
a tight ponytail, I glanced around my messy
room and wrinkled my nose. I need to clean
up. Like seriously clean up. Shaking my head,
I exited my room and carefully shut my
door behind me. I channelled a quick bolt of
genie magic into it and smiled in satisfaction
when my door wouldn't budge afterwards.
That'll keep those nosy wolves out my room.
"ALEXIS!" Douglas screamed.
"DOUGLAS!" I screamed back.
I whirled to find him stood beside the
bathroom door in baggy basketball shorts
and a white shirt.
"YOU GOOD?"
"GOOD, GOOD?"
"GOOD."
"LATER!"
"LATER!"
He walked into the bathroom and I briefly
pondered what just happened before giving
up.
'Let it go Alexis,' I thought.
Heading downstairs I was surprised to see
Zane and one of his crew stood there
looking bemused.
"Zane," I said with a jerk of my head.
"Alexis," he replied with a smirk.
"Sup," I nodded at Zane's friend.
He gave me a small nod, looking amused by
my actions.
"Alexis, my Beta Gage. Gage, Alexis," Zane
introduced.
"Gage!" I said loudly.

gennysq: Awesome!!!

Thanks!!!

crislyn: I'm definitely watching a movie..one of those my favorite action series. Kudos dear!

thanks dear.

"Put me down asshole," Ella-Marie shrieked.
"Hmm...and let you run again? How about no!"
I retorted coldly.
Well maybe this got out of hand but she's
stubborn with a fiery temper and so am
I...this won't end without tears, whose tears
though I can't be certain of.
-------------(@)--------------
WELL THAT WAS EXPLOSIVE WASN'T
IT!?!?

Damian tugged me to a stop and stood in
front of me with a curious expression, one
eyebrow quirked. I blinked and like that the
purple slid back into my eyes making him
raise both eyebrows.
"I'm not human," I admitted.
Damian stared at me in shock then like the
shock dropped away like it was a mask and
he smirked.
"Come on Lex, I'm not stupid...I knew from
the beginning. Even though you tried to do
some crazy genie voodoo on me. It's the
rest of our brothers who are ignorant
morons. I didn't get to be Alpha without
being highly trained," he informed me.
My eyes bulged and he laughed.
"You're not pissed?" I checked.
He threw me an easy going grin, flashing his
pearl white teeth.
"I'm not a bad guy Lex," he said humorously
before turning serious, "I knew you
wouldn't be friendly with us from the
beginning, you didn't know us and you
thought we were all bad guys. Of course
you'd keep it to yourself."
"Should I tell the rest of the guys?" I
asked.
Damian smirked and then winked at me.
"No...I've been waiting for you to crack and
tell me and was hoping you was going to do
it when it was just us two. This way we can
have a little fun...maybe scare the guys a
little," he said mischievously.
I laughed in disbelief...I liked this side of
Damian...nice to see where I got my attitude
from. He began to walk away from me and I
stood there in surprise at how that went
down.
"Hey...and don't think I've forgotten about
when you made the lights explode over me
and scared the crap out of me!"
I threw my head back and laughed.

ZANE POV
Ella-Marie wouldn't even meet my eyes, it
stung a little.
"Come on, you can't blame me for getting
worked up over it," I said, my tone slightly
angry.
The clenching of her jaw was the only sign
she heard me.
"It was a shock okay?" I confessed softly.
Taking a seat on the edge of my desk, I
stared at my hands and sighed.
"It's not every day your little cousin...who's
more of a sister...turns to you and says she
doesn't want anything to do with the pack.
That she wants to go to art school...that
she's not even a werewolf," I rubbed my
eyes tiredly and stood up to begin pacing
again.
My brain was working over time and I felt
edgy and tired.
"You belong here...how could you run away?"
I said.
"I don't belong in the pack when I can't
even shift!" she replied loudly, sitting up to
glare at me.
"Ells you belong with us! Who cares that you
can't shift! It doesn't matter!" I shouted
back.
"It matters to me Zane! I'm a freak," she
slumped back in her chair in defeat and I
glowered at her.
"So you ran away?!"
She huffed and got up then stormed out my
office. I gave chase. Swinging the door
open roughly, she stomped across the
porch but, being an Alpha werewolf, I was
quicker than her. My hand closed around
her slim arm and I yanked her back into me.
"Not so fast Ella-Marie...we're not done
here," I growled.
"Yes we are," she snapped.
"We're far from done," I muttered before
throwing her over my broad shoulder and
striding back up to the house.

Damian's lips curved up into a smirk and I
suddenly noticed my brother was actually
attractive...and he damn well knew it. His
eyes sparkled and he pulled her tiny body
into him.
"Pleasure to meet you," he flashed his pearl
white teeth at her and Ellie swallowed
looking mesmerised.
Zane let out a growl and grabbed Ellie then
yanked her quickly behind him.
"Back off my cousin Matthews," Zane
warned.
Damian glowered at him and I sensed an
impending fight so I cleared my throat.
Three pairs of eyes fell on me and suddenly
Damian's expression turned smug and he
dragged me into his side.
"Stay away from my sister Thomas," Damian
retorted calmly.
Zane looked torn, torn between wanting to
keep his cousin away from the rival Alpha
and evidently wanting me. A loud exhale
escaped his lips and his strong jaw
clenched tightly.
"May want to think it over Thomas...don't
want to make the wrong decision," Damian
taunted.
Damian turned to face me, his eyes pleading
with me to listen to him for once.
"Let's go home Alexis," he said, his voice
determined for the sake of Zane.
I could easily say no...but if I said no then
Zane would keep Ellie away from Damian as
my brother would have no hold over Zane.
As much as we hadn't gotten along at the
start, I didn't want him to be tormented
like that. Damian deserved his mate and if I
could help him get her then I would. Even if
it meant standing against my own. I nodded,
seeing a relieved smile spread across
Damian's face before he turned it smug and
wrapped a strong, muscular arm around my
slender shoulders.
"See you later Thomas," Damian said with a
barely concealed smirk.
His eyes fell on Ellie and I saw them cloud
over in desire for a moment before he shot
her a wink and a dirty smirk. I had to fight
the snort that wanted to escape when I saw
her cheeks darken, Damian just smirked
arrogantly.
"See you later Alex," Ellie said softly.
"See you later Ellie," I replied.
Damian walked me out the room then guided
me down the rickety stairs and out of the
house. I didn't look back at Ellie's house as
Damian and I crossed the road, I guess I
didn't want to see the broody blond male
that would surely be stood looking out the
window with a scowl plastered across his
handsome face. Relief hit me when I
entered the cover of the woods, I could
feel Zane's cold eyes burning into my back
and it made me feel guilty for walking out on
him. My brother and I walked through the
forest in silence, both of us lost in our own
thoughts. Damian was the first to break it.
"Thanks for taking my side Alexis."
He sounded genuinely grateful and I smiled
as I ducked under a low branch.
"It seemed like you and Ellie had something.
We may not always get on Damian but you
are my brother and I will look out for you,"
I said quietly.
Glancing at him, I found he was smiling
affectionately down at me, like an older
brother would look at his younger sister...it
made me feel loved. Not another word was
spoken but he slung his arm round my
shoulders again and pulled me gently into his
side. The little brotherly action choked me
up. The guilt over my deception was
nonexistent at the start but slowly it felt
like more and more was being added by my
brothers actions, making my secret grow
heavy over me under the weight of their
adoration and care.
"Damian I lied to you," I said awkwardly, not
able to stop it bubbling up and spilling out.

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

I spun to face Zane and saw him staring at
her in astonishment then anger flashed
across his face, his jaw clenching and his
hands balling into his fists. He was fighting
with his wolf.
"You know him Ellie?" I asked, pointing at
Zane.
Ellie didn't seem to hear me as she
continued staring wide eyed, frightened, at
Zane. Zane stepped towards her slowly and
looking a lot like a predator stalking his
prey.
"Zane," I said softly.
Much like Ellie, Zane ignored me and moved
over to her. He cupped her pale face in his
large hands and stared into her baby blue
eyes. She gulped and tugged on her baggy
jumper, a sign of nerves. Ellie always wore
either baggy knit jumpers and worn out
shorts or jogging bottoms and baggy t-
shirts when she was at home or painting.
Zane tentatively brushed a strand of curly
blonde hair out her eyes and smiled
adoringly at her making my heart clench in
jealousy.
"Zane," Ellie whispered.
"Ella-Marie," he whispered back.
My jaw went slack and my eyes bulged. Ellie
was Zane's runaway cousin?!
"Woah, hold the hell up," I said holding up
my hands.
Yet again I was ignored. This is getting
annoying. Looking for support, I turned to
see Damian however I found him staring
affectionately at Ellie...or should I say Ella-
Marie. I cocked my head to the side and
stared at the scene in front of me in
growing amusement. Well this is getting
interesting.
"Why did you leave Ell?" Zane asked softly,
"I missed you so much."
Bad boy has a heart, who saw that coming?
Ellie stared him down and her eyes suddenly
turned hard. Oh no...bad sign...maybe this
happy ending will have to wait.
"I didn't belong there did I?" Ellie growled.
Zane clenched his jaw and looked away to
calm down, obviously reliving bad memories.
"Come home and we'll discuss this-"
"Come home? This is home right here.
Discuss it? More like you'll yell at me and
manipulate me until you get what you want,"
Ellie yanked his hand off her cheek and
stepped away from him angrily.
Zane went to speak but Ellie suddenly
turned to face me.
"How do you know Zane?" she inquired.
"She's my mate," Zane answered for me.
Damian tensed and a low growl built up his
throat. I went to speak to him but
remembered last minute that I 'didn't
know' about any supernatural stuff.
"We're not friends Zane," I said coyly.
I gave Zane a warning look that Ellie picked
up then contorted my face into a befuddled
one quickly for Damian's benefit. I glanced
at Damian and found him trying to contain
his fury at Zane, his eyes flickering
between his normal colour and a slightly
terrifying black.
"So...Damian...have you ever met Ellie?" I
said brightly before blinking, "I mean Ella-
Marie."
Somehow I knew she'd calm him down, if I
wasn't mistaken they were mates. Sure
enough his blue eyes fell on her and
softened.
"I'm Damian Matthews," he said holding out
his large, tanned hand for her.
Ellie smiled shyly, making me blink...since
when is Ellie shy? Biting her lip, she
stepped forward to slip her small hand into
his and he seemed to cradle her hand
tenderly.
"Ella-Marie Brenton, or Ellie as people now
know me," Ellie greeted him softly.

“Disturbing,” I evaluated.
“What I was going for,” Ellie said with a
crooked grin, “anyway what’s up?”
“Mates,” I whinged.
Ellie chuckled and seemed to be debating
which brush to use next.
“Go on, tell me your problems and I’ll tell ya
mine,” she joked.
"It's just annoying, it's like mate with your
mate or nature will step in and force you
to," I complained.
"You know all it does is drag out the
emotions you try to hide," Ellie murmured.
"Huh?"
"You hide the anger at him and those
flirting with him but mating brings it out
and makes you experience it. You ignore the
attraction but again it makes you admit it. If
you wasn't attracted to him, there would be
no effect on you but you are attracted to
him so it just enhances it," Ellie said with a
smirk.
"Great," I muttered darkly.
Ellie started laughing and went back to
painting. I gazed around the white room to
find breath-taking paintings everywhere,
they were absolutely stunning, Ellie was
really gifted. There was a loud knock on the
door and Ellie huffed so I got up with an
amused smile to go answer it. I jogged down
the stairs and flung the door open to come
face to face with Zane and Damian.
“What are-“
“Whose house is this?” Damian demanded.
“Is it a guy’s?” Zane snarled.
Both pushed past me and stormed up the
stairs so I ran after them in surprise after
slamming the door. I burst into the room to
find Ellie wasn’t in here but the guys were
looking around seemingly crazed.
“Whose house is this?” Zane asked angrily.
“Mine,” Ellie announced as she stepped
inside.
We all whirled to face her and I saw her go
pale.
“Zane,” she gasped.

Oohh, what the hell?

What do you want next?

Alexis vs her Father...

Attraction towards Zane? (Do you want
cocky Zane or sweet Zane?)

Damian to find out the truth?

TO LEARN MORE ABOUT
MYSTERIOUS ELLIE?

“Does me being half naked distract you?” he
tormented.
I bared my teeth at him and he just grinned
wickedly.
“Why are my brothers bothering you?” I
demanded.
“They’re playing games with my pack-“
“Games? Like snakes and ladders?”
Zane glowered at me, “mind games.”
I made my mouth into an ‘o’ then shrugged
carelessly.
“What of it?” I inquired.
“Tell them to respect the boundary lines or
we’ll attack,” Zane hissed before storming
off.
“Woah, chill the hell out,” I murmured
before slamming the door.
When I spun around I found my Father
stood there and I jumped.
“Dude, not cool,” I said sulkily.
“Why don’t you like me Alexis?” Father
inquired.
I curled my upper lip in distaste and glared
at him.
“We both know why,” I snapped.
“Your Mother?” he checked.
“Yeah,” I affirmed.
“For leaving her?” he questioned.
“No...for what you did to her...but you’ll find
out about that soon enough now won’t you?”
I said darkly.
Father frowned and I smirked before
grabbing a jacket then stalking out the
house leaving the front door wide open.
I jogged through the forest for a while,
trying to calm down. He infuriated me. I can
honestly say I loathe my Father.
Sadistic...horrible...disgusting....
“Get away from my territory,” Zane
ordered.
I stepped round a few trees and found
Zane and Damian arguing.
“I have every right to be as close to the
boundary line as I like as long as I don’t
step over it,” Damian taunted him.
“Step over it, make my day,” Zane dared
him.
“And have me kick your ass?”
“As if-“
“Immature children,” I admonished.
They both looked up at me and looked
embarrassed.
“Bloody hell,” I grumbled before turning
and jogging off.
Again I jogged for a while, no real
direction in mind. I looked up as I heard
cars driving past and found myself at the
edge of the forest by a road. Thinking back
to my conversation with Ellie earlier today I
checked the street name then grinned to
myself. Walking across the road, I found a
small building and slipped down the side to a
small green door. I raised my hand then
knocked loudly and I was about to do so
again when it was flung open to reveal a
dishevelled, paint splattered Ellie.
“Alex,” she greeted me cheerfully before
dragging me into a hug.
“Hey Ellie,” I said with a smile.
“When I said visit me whenever you want...I
didn’t think you’d visit so soon. I’d have
cleaned the place up if I knew you were
coming,” Ellie said, mirroring my wide smile.
“You never clean,” I retorted.
Ellie laughed and stepped to the side to
allow me through. I wandered up some
rickety stairs and into a small studio where
a huge canvas was sat in the middle covered
in dark looming trees. A small girl, with
haunting eyes, in an olden day white dress
stood in the middle clutching a teddy bear.

CHAPTER SIXTEEN

ALEXIA POV
I stretched out on my settee and yawned.
My phone buzzed and I held it up to my ear.
“Hey kid,” Ellie sung into the phone.
“Ellie,” I said with a grin.
Ellie lived next door to us for two years
with her Aunt before leaving a month
before my Mother died. My Mum and Ellie
were fast friends, even though Ellie is two
years older than me, because Ellie was also
an artist and she was a werewolf. Now that
I thought about, I swear she moved
somewhere around here.
“How are you coping?” she asked softly.
I’d told her about my Mother and she’d
shown up for the funeral but had to return
for her art show.
“I’m...doing well,” I said quietly.
“Did you move in with your Father?” she
inquired gently.
I ran my tongue along my teeth and cleared
my throat.
“Yes,” I replied.
We were both silent for a while.
“I’m guessing that’s not easy,” she finally
spoke up again.
“It’s not too bad actually, I’m filled with an
intense hatred for my Father but...I guess
my brothers’ aren’t all that bad,” I
confessed reluctantly.
Ellie chuckled and I heard her moving
about.
“So where are you based?” she questioned.
I gave her my address and heard her laugh.
“What?” I demanded.
“I’m living like two streets away,” she said
with a giggle.
“What the...?”
I rolled off the couch onto my feet and
looked at myself in the mirror. I was
wearing grey sweatpants that hung low on
my hips and a tight purple crop top. Tying
my hair into a high ponytail I clicked and
flashed out my lamp. Striding downstairs, I
inconspicuously sniffed and found no new
scents. Everyone was out. There was a
knock and I tensed. This is like a horror
movie scene, girl alone in a big house when
there’s a knock on the door so she opens it
and BAM...serial killer. I shook the strange
thoughts out my head and cautiously
unlocked the door then pulled it open to
find...a murderer...well Zane...but I’d have
preferred the murderer.
“What do you want?” I asked in frustration.
“You should be nicer to your mate,” Zane
muttered.
I scoffed and opened the door wider to get
a good look at him. He was only wearing
black basketball shorts and trainers...holy
cheese. I gulped and felt myself heating up,
control yourself Alex, control is the key
here. Zane had his eyes closed and was
massaging his temples.
“Your brothers are irritating me,” he
informed me.
I swallowed silently and tried to keep my
eyes off his bare...toned...sweaty...muscular
chest...I swallowed harshly again. I could
feel sweat building up on my body and I kind
of wanted to jump him.
“Why?” I croaked out.
Zane frowned and cracked open his eyes to
stare at me in concern. Suddenly his lips
twitched into a smirk and he leant on the
doorframe.

Looking up, I watched her from across the
detention room and nearly groaned aloud.
Masses of black curls fell around her tiny,
slender body and the colour made her pale
skin stand out. Her long legs were stretched
out beneath the table and I couldn't help
but imagine what they would be like
wrapped around my waist.
"I'm off to get some paper," she muttered
to Lea.
I couldn't help but harden as I imagined
her husky, feminine voice screaming my
name in pleasure. Well...attraction definitely
hits hard and unmercifully. I watched her
pert butt sway as she walked to get paper
and when she turned my eyes fell to look at
her breasts. She caught my eyes and
scowled before hurrying back to her seat.
Smirking, I chewed my gum and watched
her sit back down. I got a hot mate.

“For now,” the one I think is called Ben
spoke up.
The rest of the group frowned at him and
he smirked.
“Well, they won’t be the enemy when you
mate with their little sister...they’ll be your
brothers in law,” Ben said smugly.
Zane’s horrified face literally made my day.
We're never mating though.
I had a free period and so I decided to
make a start on the seven hundred word
essay I had to write on why Great Britain
entered into World War One. The library
had a few of the stoner group, as I liked to
call them, sat at a table so I decided to go
somewhere else. I wandered outside and
round the corner onto the field where I
thought I could peacefully work in the
stands. Slipping my earphones in, I turned
up the music and chuckled when I realised
‘sexy back’ was playing. I froze on the edge
of the grass however when I saw that a
bunch of guys were playing football and I
recognised my brothers and their friends.
The guys playing stopped, seemingly for a
break, and dispersed into groups to mess
about with random footballs and drink from
sports bottles.
My nostrils flared and I followed the heady
scent of mint, coffee and cologne to find
Zane with his back to me. He was bouncing a
football up and down on his foot and I
watched raptly as he suddenly booted it to
another guy. My eyes were glued to him and
my lips parted slightly as I took in the
dishevelled blond hair on his head. As if in
slow motion, he pulled his shirt over his
head and revealed a tanned, strong back
that was covered in a light sweat. Hot. He
spun to toss his shirt on the bench and I
sucked in a breath. Zane's muscular, toned
chest was on view and my eyes dropped to
his chiselled six pack covered in sweat. My
tongue darted out to wet my dry lips and my
heart raced. Wow attraction certainly hits
you hard. My eyes met Zane's and I saw
desire swirling in the grey as he looked me
over. Wait...the mating stages hit us both?
That's why he was so angry when Nathaniel
stopped me from falling. He must have
realised that attraction was hitting me hard
because he smirked showing off pearl
white teeth and winked at me. I turned to
walk into the school and fanned my burning
face.
“Zane fancies you,” Nathaniel said.
I jumped and looked up to find him a bit
further up the corridor leaning on lockers.
“No he doesn’t,” I said.
“He does,” Nathaniel argued.
“Why?” I challenged.
That made him pause...after all I’m
human...so his deduction of Zane being my
mate won’t work.
“He just does,” Nathaniel eventually replied
with a careless shrug before walking off.
I watched him go in bemusement then
turned my music back up and headed for
the library. It was better to face the
stoners than my mate...especially seeing as
I’m now in stage two of the mating
phases...attraction. It won’t end well for me
if I’m out there, he’s topless and my
brothers are around.

ZANE POV
Walking into detention, I smirked slightly
when I noticed my sexy little mate was in
here and I strode over to the back where
Oliver was sat. I dumped my bag and
dropped down in the free seat beside him
then slumped.
“I need a beer,” Oliver commented dryly, as
he rubbed his right hand down his face
tiredly.
“Same here,” I replied.
I was all for a nice cold beer to relax me.
“Just have to make it through detention,” I
said with a wry grin.
“It’s alright for you...I’m just sat
here...you’ve got a pretty little mate to look
at,” Oliver chuckled and I grinned.

CHAPTER FIFTEEN

I typed quickly and when the message was
done I scrolled through my contacts until I
found my old friend's number. I sent the
message then tucked my phone back into my
pocket and leant back in my seat. Thankfully
Zane hadn't been in school today so I
haven't had the 'pleasure' of testing out
the next stage of mating...attraction. The
bell rung and I stood then slung my bag over
my shoulder. I waited until the students had
dispersed before casually striding out the
door and wandering down the hallway to my
locker. I spun the dial and flung it open then
shoved my bag inside. Lunch time.
“Lunch time doll,” Lea sung as she appeared
beside me.
I chuckled; we’d gotten a lot closer recently.
Now I had nothing against my brothers I
was all for being their friend and making
friend with Darren’s mate. It was nice
having a family again. I walked beside her
to the cafeteria and got myself a salad and
mayonnaise sandwich with orange juice as I
wasn’t that hungry. Lea and I sat down with
my brothers and their friends and I didn’t
miss the way Nathaniel looked at me with a
knowing smug look. It was an ‘I know
something you don’t’ look and I wanted to
stand up and go “I know he’s my mate, I’m a
werecat!”
“Hey baby,” Darren murmured as he nuzzled
his face in her neck.
I gagged dramatically and then started to
eat my sandwich. When I glanced up Darren
and Lea were making out heavily and I
wrinkled my nose in disgust.
“Get a room,” Douglas grunted.
Lea pulled away with a grin and began to eat
her pasta while Darren just smirked.
“You’re just jealous because I have a hot...”
he faltered for a moment before continuing,
“girlfriend.”
He glanced at me awkwardly and I saw Lea
smirk to herself.
“Yeah I am, if she was single I’d definitely
tap that pretty little ass,” Douglas
tormented him.
Darren lunged for him and they both fell
off their seats to land in a heap on the
floor. Lea rolled her eyes and the rest of
the table chuckled.
“So I’m guessing that that,” I gestured to
my fighting brothers, “is a regular
occurrence?”
“Yup,” Lea said, popping the P.
I snorted in amusement and went to take
another bite of my sandwich when the
cafeteria doors slammed open. I watched in
surprise as Zane and his crew walked in
with bored looks. My eyes widened as they
roved over his sexily messed up blond hair
and handsome chiselled face. I had a hot
mate. Wow...attraction...looks like we’re off.
Zane’s eyes met mine and his lips tipped up
into a smirk as his eyes darkened. I bit into
my sandwich and looked away at Lea who
was grinning smugly at the fact that I’d
heated up.
“It’s getting hot in here, so take off all your
clothes,” she hummed quietly.
Before I could comment, Darren popped up
beside her and grinned wickedly.
“I will if you will,” he teased.
Lea flushed bright red and I laughed.
“I am, getting so hot, I’m gonna take my
clothes off,” Darren sung seductively in her
ear...deepening her blush.
I grinned and glanced up to find Zane
watching them in evident amusement.
“You can’t hate their randomness,” the one
I think is called Oliver, Zane’s buddy,
commented.
No one else at my table seemed to have
heard...but then again they weren’t listening
in to Zane’s conversation like I was.
“It is pretty amusing,” Zane agreed, “but
they’re still the enemy.”

“Who’s Ella-Marie?” I demanded.
I whirled to face him and immediately
noticed the way his jaw clenched his eyes
became stormy. The silver shone through
and he growled quietly.
“Who told you about Ella-Marie?” Zane
asked angrily.
“Damian,” I replied calmly.
“Why can’t he mind his own business,” Zane
hissed to himself.
“I am his business technically, I am his
sister,” I mumbled.
Zane just glowered at me and I glared back.
“So I heard she left because of you...that’s
why Nathaniel hates you,” I said with a
vindictive tone.
Zane shook his head slowly and screwed his
eyes shut.
“Let me tell you the full story,” Zane
begged.
I folded my arms and eyed him curiously.
“Go on then,” I ordered.
Zane stepped towards me and gripped my
arm tightly then made to pull me into a
classroom. Suddenly he went flying into the
lockers and rebounded off them with a
crack. My eyes widened in surprise and I
spun to see Damian and Kieran. They glared
hatefully at Zane who glared back at them
and I watched as Zane’s crew fell into step
around him. Damian pulled me into his side
and Zane leant on the lockers again with a
blank expression.
“Stay away from my sister,” Damian said in
a low dangerous voice.
He steered me down the corridor and
something hit me. I came to get
revenge...yet somehow...I’ve found a place in
life. Do I honestly want revenge anymore?
I sat on the lush carpet in my lamp and
stared at the pictures of me and my Mum.
My hands closed around one in a silver
frame and I picked it up to get a good look.
Mum was grinning with paint all over her
face and her slender arms were wrapped
around my waist as she leant backwards to
lift me off the floor. She’d just finished
one of her amazing paintings and was
celebrating. I was fifteen and I’d just
arrived back from a football tournament.
I flashed out my lamp with the picture and
collapsed on my bed. I felt the tears coming
as my eyes searched my bedroom for the
exact picture Mum had painted and finally
they fell on the happy meadow scene. It was
sunny with a Mummy deer and a baby deer
in the middle then lush grass and flowers all
around it. The door opened and I sat up
abruptly to see Damian in the doorway with
his mouth open to speak. When he saw me
his eyes softened and he gently closed the
door then sat down beside me. He took me
into his arms and brushed my hair out my
face. Douglas and Darren burst in after
about five minutes and like Damian, they
quickly took in the scene then closed the
door. They sat down at the foot of the bed
and stared at me sorrowfully.
“Tell us about Mum,” Douglas pleaded.
I turned the picture frame over in my hand
and placed it on the bed so they could see. I
saw smiles stretch along all their faces as
they took in the scene the picture played
and then they smiled at me.
“She’d just finished that painting,” I
pointed at it and smiled wistfully, “she was
so overjoyed at having finished it because
she’d been struggling with it for four
months.”
Darren moved closer to look at it and he
grinned to himself.
“She was a great artist,” he murmured.
“Yeah, she sold quite a few to big business
people...made a lot of money off of it,” I
explained.
Damian tightened his arms around me and
kissed my forehead soothingly. I slumped
against him and realised something...it
wasn’t my brothers fault...it was my Fathers.
I could only blame my Father for what’s
happened.

I climbed the stands to sit a bit to the right
of him but one stand up.
“What do you want Damian?” I inquired.
“I see you’ve been getting closer to Zane,”
he said sounding thoughtful.
“Oh really? You must be seeing things,” I
replied calmly.
“No I’m not Alexis; you need to stay away
from Zane.”
I snorted and mirrored his position as I
fixed the back of his head with a bemused
look.
“Why do I need to do that?” I questioned.
“Because he’s a bad person Alexis,” Damian
said quietly in a calm, controlled tone.
“Give me an example,” I demanded.
Damian sighed and shook his head then
looked down at his hands.
“Once upon a time he had a cousin called
Ella-Marie,” Damian informed me,
“personally I never saw her but about two
years ago there was a huge bust up in the
family and she left. Why did she leave?
Because of Zane. Why do you think
Nathaniel lives with us? He couldn’t, still
partially can’t, stand to be around Zane. I
don’t know for certain what went down that
day but it must have been bad for Nathaniel
to drop all his...family duties....and join
us...we’re like the enemy to them.”
Damian looked at me over his shoulder and
smiled sadly.
“I’m honestly not a bad guy Alexis, I know
we got off to a bad start because I tried to
control you but it’s just because I care for
you. I don’t want you to get yourself into
trouble or get yourself hurt. You’re my
sister and I know I failed at being a
brother all these years but I’m really trying
to make it up to you. You need to let me,” he
whispered as he looked back at his hands.
I swallowed then cleared my throat and bit
down on my inner lips to hold them
together. After a moment of silence I stood
up and climbed down the stands. I walked
off along the grass feeling more troubled
than I’d admit at Damian’s words and I
pushed through the double doors into the
school. Lea was laughing with Darren who
was spinning her round while Douglas and
Samuel just looked amused. Rolling my eyes
I turned to go down the next corridor and
saw Nathaniel walking towards me but his
eyes were narrowed in an angry glare at
Zane who was leant on the lockers with his
crew. Zane growled a deep, low, warning
growl and Nathaniel just bared his teeth
then stormed past me. His shoulder
connected with mine sending me staggering
but he quickly grabbed my shirt by the
collar to hold me up.
“I advise you release her brother,” Zane
snapped angrily.
Nathaniel glanced at him in irritation then
his head suddenly snapped to me and he
studied me before he let out a breathy,
amused snort. His lips twisted into a wry
smile and he placed me firmly on my feet.
“See you at home Alexis,” Nathaniel said.
He ruffled my hair and then walked off
down the corridor. I blinked at his
retreating figure and then watched him
round the corner.
“Well okay then...” I trailed off.
I turned to find Zane watching me with
dark eyes from where he was leant on his
locker and I calmly walked down the
corridor past him. I thought about the
anger, this was the third day...so soon I’d
be onto attraction...jeez.
“You’re going to hit attraction soon Alexis,”
Zane said seductively.
“Whatever,” I muttered darkly.
“You know you could stop all of this by
just...I don’t know...mating with me,” Zane
said thoughtfully.

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

“Breathe in,” Lea ordered, “breathe out.”
“It’s not working,” I ground out irritably.
I glared furiously at the detention teacher
who was leaning on Zane’s desk to talk to
him about the work he had to finish that
his math class had done after he’d been
kicked out his lesson...the detention teacher
who had undone two buttons on her blouse
subtly while walking over to him. The
teacher who was basically thrusting her
breasts in my mate’s face...I know I’m
denying him right now...but he’s still my mate
and she needs to back off. My honed
hearing picked up on feet walking towards
me and a subtle sniff made me realise it was
Darren.
“Alexis,” Darren murmured as he came to a
stop behind me.
“Yes asshole?” I turned to scowl at him and
he rolled his eyes.
Lea shot me an amused look and I winced,
probably shouldn’t insult her mate.
“Chill out sister, you’re so aggressive
recently,” Darren said quietly.
“Well you people keep annoying me,” I said
simply.
“Damian wants to speak to you at lunch, he
said to meet him by the stands on the
pitch,” Darren informed me.
I sighed and glanced to Zane to find him
staring at Darren with narrowed eyes.
Zane’s eyes flickered to me and I gave him
a weird look that made him shake his head.
I glanced to the side of me and saw Darren
kiss Lea on the head so I gagged loudly.
Darren grinned and Lea blushed then he
stole one more kiss and left. I turned back
to see Zane was looking down the teacher’s
top blatantly and she looked smug. I
focused a glare on the back of Zane’s head
and saw his lips tug up into a smirk that
irritated me.
“I’m either going to kill myself, everyone
else or him,” I said through gritted teeth.
“I vote him,” Lea said nonchalantly but
there was a grin toying at her lips.
Out the corner of my eye I saw Zane scowl
at her and she snickered. We carried on
with our work and I sighed feeling suddenly
tired.
“The anger wears off really quickly, as the
stages progress they get longer though.
The anger should last three days most, the
giggles five days, the attraction a week and
the heat ten days. After that it just literally
stops and never starts again. Heat however
comes back once a year, that’s why at a
certain point in the year you never see your
parents,” Lea informed me.
I grumbled under my breath and saw her
smirk.
“So when did you realise I’m not human?” I
asked the one question on my mind.
“Quite quickly, my Dad taught me how to
track so I picked up your scent pretty
quickly...your brothers are just oblivious and
stupid,” Lea said with a careless shrug.
I nodded and finished my questions.
“So have you mated with Darren?” I
inquired curiously.
“Nope, I’m two days into stage three.
Apparently he wants to wait until I’m
eighteen...in three days,” Lea replied sulkily.
I snorted and when I looked up my eyes met
Zane’s. He gave me a small smile and I
looked down.
I walked across the pitch with my jacket
slung over my shoulder and a bored look on
my face. Damian was sat on the stands
leaning his elbows on his knees and I
approached him warily.
“Brother,” I called out in greeting when I
was close enough.
“Alexis,” he retorted without looking at me.
