Chapter Nine

-Zoë Wesley-

The pain of rejection hit my heart again. How can I avoid these rejections from the mated immortals? I heard a girl's voice keeping me calm while singing a lullaby on my ear. I collapse, and that's what all I know.

I woke up on the sound of something... kissing. My heart is still stinging, and I think I breathe. But, I didn't expect what Keynes is doing inside my room. He's with a gorgeous girl, and they are making out! Geez! That's gross! I sat up, holding my chest, narrowing my eyes on them. His hands are all around her.

'It's not that I am interrupting your romance...' I speak in a low voice that made them gasped and turns at me. Keynes stood and the girl flushes. She's familiar though.

'I'm sorry,' Keynes bows his head that made the girl confused and make me flinched. How many times I told him not to make me uncomfortable. He scratches the back of his head. 'How are you feeling?' he asked.

'Dying...' I breathe heavily.

'Hi,' the girls stood. 'I'm Natasha from last night if you don't remember me. I live next door.' She introduced with those sweet smiles.

She lives next door does that mean...

'Yes, I am his sister. He brought you home last night, were you and him are wet so I take the responsibility to bath you. Don't worry, he doesn't saw you naked.' She winks answering the question in my mind. My jaw drops! This is so embarrassing! She bathed me?! She even saw me naked?! Well, anyway I am still glad that the jerk didn't saw me naked but he still gives me hickeys and marked me!

'Ahhh...' Keynes stammers.

'Oh-kay!' the sting in my heart lessens. 'So you are that perv's sister?' I asked her that make Keynes winced on my attitude but Natasha just smiles.

'Yup! That's him, but this is the first time he became pervert through a gorgeous girl.' She winks again. 'And if you don't remember him again, his name is Nathan. Cute right?' she winks again grinning. It's not cute! It's hilarious! Gosh! That pervert, maniac, jerk, and a douche bag. I am going to kill him!

'Okay... enough of him. So why are you both here inside my room making out?' I asked them frankly. Natasha giggles while Keynes flushes. I stare at Keynes for him to explain.

'She... she brought you pie as a peace offering...' Keynes murmurs.

'Then you make out with her? Just like that?'

'She's my mate!' there he spits it out. That makes me happy and the pain is gone.

'Good... I was waiting for you to spit it out.' I jump off from bed running my fingers through my hair. 'Anyway, I am happy that you both finally met each other. No rejections!' I told them.

Natasha smiles wide and hugged Keynes that makes him flushes. He's very cute when he's flushing.

'Okay, you go make out but not in my room while I go downstairs to eat this so-called pie...' I told them and run downstairs.

'How's the pain?' Keynes calls.

'Gone!' I told him and went to the kitchen. I open the fridge and saw the pie. I put it on the counter and looked for the knife. I cut it in pizza slice and put a piece of it on the saucer plate.

I went to the living room and open the TV. I take a bite and it was so yummy, deliciously sweet! Then Keynes and Natasha walk downstairs holding hands. They are perfect for each other. She kissed him on the cheek.

'Tomorrow.' She told him.

'I'm going to pick you up.' he kissed her lips and I look away.

Geez! They just met yet they acted like they have known each other for long. Is that how mates are? He walks her to the door and she waves at me. When Keynes had closed the door he faced me. I wink at him.

'What a small world?'

'Don't eat too much of that. You might get drunk.' He told me and he walks to his office. I ignored him and eat it. I don't care about carbs and fats. I just wanted to eat then I will burn them tomorrow. I am a sugar drunk so if I eat plenty of sweets I get intoxicated and I am not gonna remember what I did. So, that happened to me last night. I slept with a maniac.

I get dizzy a little but I went to the kitchen and grabbed another slice. Keynes is eating on the stool too while his phone is on his hand. Probably talking to the House Lords and Ministers. He pauses on what he is saying when he saw me.

'Don't eat a lot of that.' he told me covering the mouthpiece.

'I wanted to eat, so shut up!' I scowls at him and went back to the living room.

'Probably drunk.' He murmured and went back to the phone.

I finished three slices of pies and I started playing the piano carelessly. Keynes wanted me to stop because it's out of sync. But then I just laugh at him and laugh at him and play some of Mozart's composition. He locked the doors and windows around the house for me not to run outside.

-Nathan Gregg-

I was having pushups in the living room when my sister finally came with those in love smiles. I was waiting for her to tell me about Zoë. She kept humming, biting her lips like a damn fool in love.

'What happened?' My mother asked her. 'Did she accept it? What did she say?' my mom looks more excited about what happened than me.

Natasha just smiles like a damn in love. I push up myself and pick the towel to wipe the sweat. I studied her and there is something wrong with her. Did she have a good time with Zoë?

'Well, I gave the pie to Keynie...' she said circling her forefinger on the counter.

'Keynie?' my mom asked furrowing her eyes. 'Or Keynes?'

'Yeah! Keynes!' she winks. Oh-kay... so something is up to here.

'You seemed so in love.' I commented walking with them to the kitchen counter slicing a pie.

'Anyway, if you wanted to ask about Zoë. Well, I got there and Zoë is asleep. So I and my ma-' mom and I rose my brows and she skipped that. 'Well, I talked to Zoë and explained everything. She didn't remember anything last night. Including me, my name and you, your name.' she said pointing on me.

'Is Keynes is your mate?' my mom asked grinning. She flushes looking down on the counter. She's damn crazy. I mean, is that how girls look like when they are in love, or is that how they look when they found their mate? 'So he is...'

'We are going out tomorrow.' She said.

'Where?' I asked her furrowing. I mean that was just so fast. They just met and now they will date.

'But why tomorrow? Why not now?' mom asked.

'Well, he's got a business to take care of and Zoë got a heart attack.' She murmurs that make me lean on the counter.

'Heart attack!' I exclaimed. Why did she have a heart attack?

'Keynes didn't explain to me about her heart attack. He only said he will tell me about it, maybe soon. And now is not the time.' She explained. 'So anyway, mom can you go shopping with me today? I need to buy no dress...'

'Sure honey... I am glad that you found your mate.'

So, I left there confused and worried about Zoë. Did she get a heart attack? If she's immortal why does she had heart disease? It doesn't make sense at all. I eat my pie while my sister and my parents go upstairs to get ready for the mall.

'Aren't you going with us?' Mom asked from upstairs.

'No. I'm fine.'

If Zoë's brother is my sister's mate, I can use my sister just to get to Zoë. I snapped my fingers and pull my phone from my pocket. I texted my Beta and Gama to visit Zoë. For now, I need to try my friends and if they failed in mission A, I will go to mission B using my sister.

It didn't take fifteen minutes for them to get here in our house. They headed to the kitchen and make themselves at home taking a slice of pie. They even grabbed my B'lue drinks in the bottle on my fridge and sat on the stool.

'I asked both of you to get here not to eat our food.'

'So, what's this meeting all about?' Terence asked bringing the pie to his mouth.

'We at least need food so we can continue to the plan.' Yves said munching on the pie.

'Well, it's about you know who. But we are going to talk about it after those girls had left.' I told them in low voice.

'You don't want us to hear it?!' my sister said from the stairs.

'Just leave the house now. We are going to discuss something. Boy's talk!'

'I hope you are not planning to kidnap Zoë. She needs time.'

'I am not going to kidnap her... it is just none of your damn business!'

When they are gone, I told them about my plan. They need to knock on Zoë's door and asked her if she's fine or doing fine. If Keynes, her brother opens the door they need to ask him if Zoë's there or something. If he let them in to talk to Zoë it will be my time to give her a video call. I know it's a boring, thrill-less mission but at least I have to talk to her.

So, they go there, and I just watched them from the rooftop of the house. Weirdly, the chimney is smoking.

-Keynes Wesley-

She's crazy throwing fire on the chimney. I tried to stop her but nothing. I need to put her on sleep or something to stop her from what she's doing. She got no control of her magical powers. I keep throwing piles of water in the chimney using my super speed. Then the doorbells.

'Zoë, stop it, please.' I tried to calm her. She just laughs and laughs.

I run to the door and open it to see the next Beta and Gama of the pack.

'Hi, is Zoë there?' they asked.

'What do you want?' I asked them coldly. I am in the middle of the situation now. I need them to get lost.

'Why is it burning there?' Yves asked peeking on the door. I saw a big fire, and I rushed to the chimney.

'That is not a funny young lady! Drop it now!' I order her. She did drop the fire. I didn't notice that those boys had already got in staring at Zoë confused. 'Don't set our house in the fire again.'

'Yeah- dad!' she mocks and went back to the piano seat and started playing.

'Woah...' they looked amused and shocked at the same time. 'So, she's a witch?' they asked at the same time. I rolled my eyes picking the bucket.

'An enchantress.' I told them. 'So if you already saw her you can go now. Tell your Alpha not to bother again because she's not in condition.' I know that Nathan orders them to pay a visit to Zoë. It's obvious that he is using his friends just to get her.

'She seemed drunk.' The Beta noticed.

'Harris said that she's a sugar drunk.' The Gama speaks.

'Yes, and please also tell him, to never bring her sweets.' They nod and walk out of the house. I face Zoë. She is lying already on the piano table. 'Oh Princess, what should I do to you?' I sighed running my fingers through my hair.
