-MILA-"Lowell knows? Why was he hiding it from me if he knew I wasn't his mate?" I couldn't understand why Lowell would do something like that if he didn't want to be with me.Lobo sighed, "He was trying to protect you."I frowned, "From you?"Suddenly his face changed, and I could tell his mood had darkened, "Yeah. When he introduced us, he could tell by the look in my eyes that you were my mate. He took me aside and told me what type of person you are. He said you were kind and sweet. That you were too soft," he scoffed, "He reminded me that I'm a piece of shit and that you deserved better. He swore to me that he would give you a good life and no matter what, he would never desert you," he looked away and I could tell that he was having a hard time telling me this, "At first, I refused to go along with it. I wanted you. I felt I had to have you. But then I saw how you smiled at him and I realized that he was right. I had no business forcing you into my life," he shook his head sadl

-MILA-I was thinking about the look Lowell had given me. There was something off about it.Something threatening."Lobo, do you think Lowell is dangerous?" I asked suddenly.He frowned, almost as if he was thinking about the possibility for the first time, "I don't know. I suppose anyone could become dangerous under the correct circumstances.""The way he looked at me was weird. It gives me the creeps.""You don't have anything to worry about," he leaned over to kiss my cheek, "I will never let anything happen to you.""I know. It's just weird, up until a few days ago I would have trusted him with my life. But now, I'm not so sure,""I get that. But I don't think Lowell would do anything to hurt you. He cares about you, that's the whole reason he wanted to keep us apart.""I guess. I just have a weird feeling about all of this." He put an arm around my shoulders, "Everything you thought you knew turned out to be a lie. It's going to take some time to process everything."I leaned ag

-MILA-"See, the way you so casually admit to killing people, that isn't a good thing, Lobo.""Well, you asked and I'm not going to lie to you.""But my point is, you admit to killing. But when I ask if you have something to do with these murders, you get offended."Lobo sighed, "That's because I've already told you I have nothing to do with it. I have no reason to lie to you. I don't go around killing random people for no reason."I sat down on the sand, "Why do they think it's you?""I don't know. I guess that the killer knows I'm looking into him and now he's trying to frame me to get rid of me."I nodded, "Okay, that would make sense. I'm sorry for doubting you.""No need to apologize," he sat down beside me, staring out at the ocean, "This is a mess. As you pointed out before, you don't know much about me. I can't expect you to blindly trust me."I leaned my head on his shoulder, "We do have a long way to go. It's going to be a lot of work. But we can do this."He turned, frownin

-MILA-I sat in my car while calling Lobo.He answered immediately, "Lala?""Firstly, how is the strip club?""I'm busy with investigating, relax.""I am relaxed," I smiled to myself, "Lowell asked to see me. He's having you followed, Lobo."I could hear the music in the background drowning out, "What? He's having me followed?""Yes. He showed me footage of you in the club, that's how I knew about it.""Why?""He claims that you're a suspect in the killings."Lobo sighed, "He's pissed that we're together and this is his way of trying to get back at me."I frowned, "We are?""What?""You said that we're together.""Well, aren't we?"'I don't know, Lobo," I sighed, "But that isn't the point of this conversation. I called to warn you about Lowell.""Where are you?""Outside the station.""Meet me? I'll send you the address.""Okay." I hung up and started the car. Lobo texted me the address and I started toward it.As I drove, I noticed something different about the streets. The doors and

-MILA-Lobo had been extremely quiet since we arrived back at the house the previous night. I assumed it was due to the huge bombshell he had dropped on me about knowing the victims.But I wasn't paying too much thought to that, I was more concerned with the newly formed witch hunt that the humans seemed to be starting against the Lycans.On social media, they were calling for Lycans to be driven out of the town. The humans were feeling unsafe with them around and felt it would be better if the Lycans leave the town to the humans.I was angry, but I couldn't blame them for being scared. It was to be expected.But to launch hate against them seemed a bit much in my opinion.There were many humans that committed murder and they were never run out of town.I sighed and dropped my phone on the table, I didn't want to see any more hateful words toward the Lycans.Lobo walked into the living room, "Morning.""Morning. There's a lot going on, that banner we saw isn't the last of this. They'r
