CHAPTER 23 : Yes or no?

  Vanessa’s pov,

  “You could become my girlfriend?” I heard Duke say.

  My heart rate quickened, and I immediately wanted to shout, “Yes!” but Spirit reprimanded me loud and clear.

  “You cannot say yes, Vanessa. You are a wolf; you can never be together with a human. It will never work. He doesn’t understand the ways of wolves.”

  “I don’t care! He is the best thing that has happened to me, and I want to be with him.”

  “It doesn’t matter what you want Vanessa. What if he finds out you are a wolf? You really think he would still love you then?”

  “He is a good person so I will take my chances. The chance of him finding out is small, to begin with. Besides, we don’t have to agree on everything.”

  I pushed Spirit her presence away and looked at Duke again. He was staring at me nervously because I had been silent for a while. I smiled at him lovingly and said, “Of course, I want to become your girlfriend!”
