"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 was about to call Jessica when I decided to text her and ask her if she wanted to meet. I thought it'd be an excellent way to see how she was doing and what was going on. 


"Can we meet somewhere?" I texted her. "I just thought it'd be best to catch up in person."


"Yeah," she wrote back. "But, not tonight. How about tomorrow before the town hall meeting?"


I had a lot on my mind as I tried to fall asleep. I kept wondering who Jessica's mate was. I was not jealous. In fact, I was glad she met someone, and they were mates, so I didn't feel guilty like I abandoned her. And, since she told me, she probably wasn't mad anymore. She was probably just sulking because of the fact that she was alone. 


Now, she is not, which makes everything simpler for me. But, still, everything was changing quickly, and I hoped the bad blood between Jessica and me was over.
