"What do we do now?" Lottie inquires. I continue opening my lunchbox, unconcerned about Kessler coming over."Act natural," I said calmly."Don't worry, I'm here to protect you," Jonny said, which I found very kind of him.I smiled at him in gratitude."That's what I'm here for, to take care of her," Kessler's voice sounded angry, tense. He put his hand on my shoulder and sat next to me. There was silence in the air."I thought we were going to have lunch together," he murmured."I'm already having lunch with Jonny and Lottie. If you'll excuse me, I want to have a peaceful meal," I said, giving him a cold look. Kessler frowned, seeming to not believe that I was speaking to him like that."What's wrong, Eva?" he wanted to know. "Why are you acting like this? What did this jerk tell you?" he pointed at Jonny."Nothing, Kessler. He didn't tell me anything. In fact, don't you have something to tell me?" I looked at him seriously. Kessler was trying to guess what was bothering me. It showe

I didn't know whether to believe everything Kessler said... at least most of it. I believe Riley's story, I think he's capable of that and much more. But with Kessler... there's the fact that he lied to me."Eva, I wouldn't deceive you. I just wanted to protect you and keep you from getting stressed about all this. I don't want to see you worried. Leave it to me. I'll take care of Riley and his pack.""When did we get into this situation? Will there ever be a moment without any kind of problem?""I'm sorry," he murmured, gazing at the road, looking sad and vulnerable.Ugh! I can't believe the immense power Kessler has over me. I can't see him like this because it makes me want to hug him and make him feel better.Stay strong, Eva, stay strong. Despite everything, Kessler lied to you."I want to go back to classes," I told him."Eva, tell me we're okay, please," he took my arm, "Even if you don't want to, I'll always be close to you. So it's better if you accept me willingly because oth

I opened my eyes with some difficulty. My back hurt, and I felt my breathing was labored. I couldn't quite remember what happened; all I could feel was the heaviness of my body and the pain in it. I was in a hospital bed, and as my vision cleared, I sat up. I had an IV drip, a neck brace, and some glass cuts on my arms.Then I started to remember what had happened: the wolf and Kessler. That huge wolf had thrown me with great force towards Kessler's car, and after that, I didn't remember anything.God, I thought I was going to die. I took a deep breath, feeling the pain in my chest as I breathed.Where is everyone? I looked around to find the button to call the nurses, and when I found it, I pressed it.Dad must be really worried; I hate giving my father worries. The door opens, and a nurse appears."Good morning, Miss Bailey, how are you feeling?""Sore," I said. "Is my father around?""Yes, your brother and your boyfriend too. They've been waiting all night for you to wake up.""I w
