"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

It was Tuesday morning. I was brushing my hair, which seemed to be getting thinner than it was before. I found a lot of pulled hairs in the bristles of my brush and realized that this was a sign of the sickness again. I wanted to look beautiful again when I went to school, but instead, I felt like someone who survived a work camp. 


I did not even want to wear makeup because I was afraid the eyeliner and mascara would make me look like a zombie or something. I opened my purse. I saw the black feather was there and smiled. 


After our flight the other day, I had not spoken to my mother. But, she had left the black feather on my bedspread when I got back from my walk. I thought of it as sort of a peace offering. Once I spoke with Triton, I would rekindle my relationship with my mom. But, right now, I needed to fix the problem with Triton. Before, I was completely bald and resembled my grandmother.
