"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 crossed over familiar terrain. But, this time, it felt more sleepy. The trees were now completely barren and asleep beneath a thick carpet of leaves. The whole forest felt like it was sleeping, but I knew that the forest must be alive with the tensions between our packs. 


I felt like that energy permeated the whole world right now. This feeling of bitter hatred. This distrust and misgiving about everything and everyone.


Even the neutral pack seemed to have their own side in this matter. I spat on the ground in front of me. I really did not like nor trust the neutral pack. My mind returned to the meeting a few days ago. I remembered my father speaking in raised tones with Ariana's father. And I remembered the smug personality of Mr. Stevens. Like he was above arguing, and the rival packs were children they must control.
