"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 did not like how tense everyone was becoming. It felt so intense and strange. I wished we could just leave. The Spring ball felt like it was totally ruined. I remembered how much simpler and calm it felt when I was younger. Before, this feud seemed like such a big deal. I wished I could go back to that time. I allowed my mind to wander in this frame of mind for a time. I remembered the first Spring ball I attended when I was 13. 


It was all pink and light green. I wore a yellow dress, and my mother told me I looked like the goddess Persephone. In my mind, I wondered what it would be like to have that time again, except to be with Triton. But, in my heart, it felt perfect. I could dance with Triton unashamed. Carol could dance with Amber unashamed. Everything was so sweet. 


"Come on," I was awakened from my daydream by Triton grasping my hand. "Let's go. We don't have to stay here." 


I was surprised but glad as he lifted me to my feet.
