"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

My phone rang as I put up my hair. I looked and saw that it was Carol. I was glad she called me back. I called her two hours ago and wanted to speak with her. 


"Hi!" I hollered as I answered the phone. "Happy, happy birthday, sister!" 


She let out a little squeal as I said it and proceeded to thank me a dozen times in a row. 


"Like, I can't believe it's tonight," she said. "I am gonna be 18, damn girl! I am so old, aren't I? Golly!"


She was so cute and hilarious. "Hey, I am 18!" I said back at her in a fake-sounding whiny tone. "Are you calling me old?" I let out a loud laugh. 


"Oh, girl, no!" She said back. "You rock 18! I am already feelin' aches in my joints! Like what?!"


"Didn't you go hiking with Amber yesterday?" I asked her with a laugh. 


"Well, yeah, I guess," she conceded. "Oh, you are on your way over? My mom went ALL OUT! So much food and stuff."


"I am!" I said with a cheerful tone. "I gotcha your present too! Be right there, see you later."
