Chapter 18: Memories

Owen’s POV

Hailey gets out of the car without saying a word, or even looking back. There is yet a strange feeling between the two of us, for the connection between Alpha and Luna goes beyond a mere title.

It is a nexus that unites us, that goes from her to me and from me to her, allowing me to understand her emotions, because I can also feel them when they are very intense, as it happens right now. Anger, pain, confusion, and anxiety add up inside her as she pulls away. And I know that her torments will haunt me throughout the night, adding to mine inexorably.

But today I don't want to think. I don't want to feel, I just want to get away from it all. Confused and hurt, I get out of the car and take the road that leads to the beach, while removing my clothes one by one.
