"Please, don't go," I whispered as I started kissing her neck once again.

She caressed my head but started saying the reasons why she knew it was wrong.

"We can't do this, Triton," she told me. "It is killing us, and it is destroying our families. Imagine how the pack would react if they were to discover us here? If they discovered that you were in the woods with me, kissing and caressing? As much as I love you and as much as we are mates, we are also enemies, Triton."

"No!" I said, my face still buried in her neck. "I don't care what they think! I don't care what will happen! All I want is you."

My Enemy, My Mate

I looked back at my phone. I had only an hour left of class for the day, and then I'd be finished for the day. I needed to speak with him. I wanted to know what Jessica meant when she said those things. Why did she seem so smug about what I told her? It made no sense in my mind. 


She continues acting like I somehow ruined her relationship with her boyfriend, but I am never even with him? So why would she single me out as the one causing the issues? Is it because I am single now that Alex broke up with me? I sighed. That can't be it. There were plenty of girls at school who were single. They could have done it too. So why me? 


Maybe I'll try texting him one more time. It would seem overly eager, I guess. But maybe he will realize how much I need the answer. But, when I opened my messages, I saw a note that said he had read it. I felt myself hold my breath. There was no typing. No response. I moaned.
