"I know what a mate can do to you but if you ever do anything like that again it will cost you your life"
"I know I’m sorry" I said sincerely I still couldn’t believe I did that to Lily. Ethan nodded and left the room but I could tell he was still pissed, I couldn’t bla him. I sighed and threw myself on the couch with my head in my hands.
I couldn’t believe it After all those years she was finally back. Seeing her again, slling her scent it threw back to three years ago when we first t. She was different now, She lost the glasses and her hair was brown instead of her dyed black, But still she looked just the sa to , still as beautiful as ever.
The last three years drove crazy, my wolf was miserable and everything reminded of her; a sll, a song, hell even a food. It was maddening and everyday I’d dream about her, I searched for her a lot but it was like she vanished. At least now I knew why, she gave a fake na then. But why? Why did she lie to ? And why did she leave without a word?
Nate’s P.O.V.
"What happened?" Patrick asked for the sixteenth ti. I had been quiet the whole ride ho and now as we sat in my living room Patrick could sense sothing was wrong "Did you get the job? What’s wrong?"
"Yes I got the job" I said sighing "And nothing’s wrong"
"bullshit" Patrick said "It was sothing or soone in that house or...mansion or who gives a crap wasn’t it?
"No" I said feeling panicked
"Damn it Nate since when do you hide things from ? You tell everything."
"I can handle it Patrick"
Patrick snorted "Yeah" he grabbed my wrist and and held it up to , making look at the white scars on it "Just like you handled Luke"
"That’s not fair-"
"Is it? You told no one. You did what you had to do for Gabriel and it cost you big ti." I felt my eyes water but forced the tears back. Patrick had always been the ’tough love’ kind of guy and he was right. But the only thing I never told Patrick was about Adrian. "Look" he sighed "You can tell anything you know that. When you’re ready, tell . And be careful"
I nodded and he left. As soon as he did I slumped on the couch. Adrian Morgan; after all these years, I couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t believe I saw him again, stood in the sa room as him. lose enough for t see, to touch. Every sense I had scread in awareness at his proximity.
My hands tightened, should I keep the job? I needed it and I could handle a casual eting right? Three years was a long ti after all.
But oh god could I really handle it? Could I handle his keen, determined eyes and the blond hair that i itched to run my hand through, like I did long ago. Did he know ? After all I had changed a lot. yet he recognized , Did he believe my lie?
I sighed and went to my room. I reached under my bed and pulled the box I had with but never opened ever since that night. I pulled out the dress I couldn’t force myself to wear It still had the familiar scent, and around it were the petals of the faded rose he had given . I just couldn’t throw them away, even looking at them now brought back the mories
"I don’t get it" I said as I sat in the limo with my parents."You’ve never taken to any of the parties you were invited to and I never wanted to go. Why the change of mind?"
"Henry’s daughter, Vanessa, specifically asked for you to co. She said she loved talking to you when they ca to visit and she enjoyed your company for so reason I can’t understand" My mom said as she looked out the window. She was dressed in a blue dress that made her eyes look even more beautiful and her hair was tied up in a neat, but beautiful hairdo.
"I would have prefrred to stay ho" I said crossing my arms "With Gabriel" I hated this. Even though Vanessa was really cool I preferred to stay at ho with Gabriel, not with my parents at so boring party.
"Oh he’ll be okay with the nurse for one night" Dad said "Besides your sister is there, I know it would have been better for us if she was the one who ca but Vanessa only asked for you"
"And what in god’s na are you wearing?" My mom said "I told you that dress didn’t flatter you It was made for prettier girls who have the body for it, it looks like a disaster on you."
"I don’t care mom" I mumbled and looked out the window. I knew I looked awful but t was the only dress I had that fit the occasion, my parents never bothered to take to parties so I didn’t see a reason to.
The car stopped in front of the huge house and we all got out. We looked like a happy family as we stepped into the party and I almost snored at the thought. I put on my fake smile and greeted everyone. My parents chatted with all the guests and I tuned out, until a certain couple caught my attention and they were walking directly towards us.
