It was lunchtime. I, Zane, and the guys were sitting at the usual popular table. Yep, I am one of the popular now and the most envied girl in school. I and Zane are considered the power couple of Oak Tree High… Our relationship has blossomed though we still haven’t done anything yet and he hasn’t marked me.

The girls who used to hang on Zane’s arm were giving me death glares. I smirked scooting closer to Zane place my arm around his…

‘His mine now ladies I mouthed at them smirking While they gave me the middle finger and me been the mature person I am, I stuck out my tongue at them.

” What are you doing?” Val asked with amusement it seems they all saw me stick out my tongue.

“Uh, nothing they were glaring at me..” I pouted… Zane pulled me closer kissing me. I’m pretty sure they were even angrier than before sweet!!–he pulled away giving me a mouth-watering smile.

” I’m all yours baby..” he whispered in my ear sending shivers down my spine as I grinned…

” Come on love birds quit the PDA I don’t want to see how my nephew will be created..” Aaron said covering his eyes and I giggled… I removed my arm from Zane continuing with my lunch while the boys talked about football and some party making me feel bored.

“ping” a message notification broke me from my boredom. I checked it to see it was from Skylar…

Skylar: Come behind the school cafeteria I want to talk to you but don’t tell anyone…

I smiled this could be my chance of getting one of my friends back. honestly, it was kinder boring hanging out with the guys all day. All they ever do is the train I need a girl to talk about girl stuff with not just talking about training and football. I hate football. Surely there have been times were Juanita comes and talks to me but whenever Zane and the guys show up she quickly lowers her head walking away…

” Who texted..?” Zane asked eyeing me curiously try to take a look at my phone but I quickly turned it off placing it on the table…

” It’s no one just some telemarketer..” I said munching on some fries and sipping my milkshake. I could tell Zane wanted to ask more but didn’t press the matter and I was glad, I didn’t want him to know he might ruin our girl moment plus Skylar told me to go alone. I glanced at Skylar who gave a small smile and I smiled in return she got up and left, that’s my queue.

” Are you okay.?” Zane asked.

” Yeah, I am totally fine. There is something I need to take care of I will be back soon okay..” I said kissing his cheek then going over to the back of the cafeteria.

I saw Skylar standing at the edge of the woods and I smiled.

” Hey, you wanted to talk..?” I asked her. she smirked evilly and before long I saw Jenna emerge from the shadows.

” you are so naive I should be the one with Zane..” Jenna said glaring at me.

” And I should be the Princess..” Skylar did something with her hands revealing her true form making me gasp in disbelief..

.” No way!” before I could even try to defend my self I felt something connect with my skull hard…

” sweet dreams PRINCESS..” was the last thing I heard and my world turned black.

ZANE

I looked at her as she smiled reading the text.

” Who texted.?” I asked her and the response I got made me doubt. You don’t smile when you receive a text from a telemarketer. She excused herself shortly after and my gut was telling me to follow her. Was she cheating on me? No, I’m probably being insecure but I’m still going to follow her..

” Excuse me guys I think Scarlet is hiding something I’m going to follow her…”I said getting up also.

” don’t Zane give her some privacy, doubt is the number one relationship breaker..” Aaron said stopping me.

“I know but I just have a bad feeling..” I said going after her.

I followed her scent as it led me behind the cafeteria building.

” Goodnight PRINCESS..” I heard followed by a bang sound. I quickly rushed over to see a girl I have never seen before trying to lift an unconscious Scarlet while Jenna was grinning evilly. The girl who was trying to lift up the scarlet was putting on a very long and black hood with a belt that had a bunch of knives hooked to it. Her face was partly covered but from the looks of her all-black clothes, she looked like one of those witches from the 1960s.

” Come behind the cafeteria building now..” I mind-linked the guys as I ran towards the two girls. As soon as they saw me they ran away leaving Scar bleeding on the ground. I wanted to run after them but scarlet was more important. I knelt down before her placing her head on my lap my hand was now covered in b***d.

” Scarlet baby open your eyes..” I said patting her cheeks trying to wake her up but she wasn’t waking up. I felt a pang of guilt. Dang it, she has hurt again and I failed to protect her. I place my hand over the back of her head using my healing powers but it didn’t work out. How is it possible that my healing powers didn’t work on her? I mean they always work on humans and werewolves.. Unless if–

” What happened to Scarlet?..” a panic-stricken Val asked as soon as he and the guys got near. His eyes bulged from their sockets as he widened them in horror seeing the pool of b***d covering the grass and my jeans…

” I don’t know it was some girl I have never seen before and Jenna. Search the perimeter they couldn’t have gotten far, I want them found immediately..” I order as the guys ran off while Val stood there looking as pale as a ghost he knew something about this.

” Oh my gosh..” he said quickly taking out his phone. While I just gave him a questioning look.

” I am calling aunt..” he looked at me as I nodded my head.

Picking up Scarlet, I rushed to my car placing her securely while Val sat on the driver seat.

” Stay with me, baby..” I whispered to her. She was bleeding heavily and for a human, if we don’t rush her to the hospital as soon as possible she might die.

” Drive faster Val..” I said my voice coming out horsey. I was on the verge of losing it. my freaking mate was hurt right under my nose and I couldn’t even save her. What if I hadn’t followed her, what would have happened then??! would they have kidnapped her. Dang it.!!

” We are here..” Val said getting off as I carried Scar running into the hospital building of our pack. I lay her on one of the hospital beds as the doctors quickly started working on her while they chased me away.. please let her be okay I silently prayed…

” What happened!?” her mom’s panic-filled voice broke me from my mini prayer session. How did she get here so quickly.? Val took her hand leading her to a corner so that they can talk privately and my suspicions were growing stronger. What’s with them? It’s like they were hiding some big top secret that no one was supposed to know about. I saw her mom run into Scarlet’s hospital room and shortly after chased away the doctors.

” Why did she chase you away.?” I questioned one of them.

” She told us that she was going to take care of Luna Scarlet we tried to protest but she scared us away..” He said cowering.

” Val what’s with you, Scarlet and her mom..?” I decided to question. They are always talking in hush tones ever since Scarlet started leaving at my place. Whenever she receives a call or she calls her mom she never speaks in front of me it’s either she will hide in the bathroom and speak in a hush tone or will go somewhere far enough for me not to hear. Could it be that she was some witch or intruder.? Now that I think about it I could be right.!
