Please listen to the music, and comment if you remember which chapter I posted with this music 🙃

"Now, I just need you all to sign some papers before I let this information out" the principal stated. I made eye contact with Nathan, he looked at me with dead serious eyes, and I took that as a 'Don't sign the papers look' and after we held each others gaze for a moment we looked away. "Wow you guys are no fun, of course I'm not making you sign papers just to say something" he said with the roll of his eyes.

The tension in the room was killing me slowly and I couldn't help but feel eyes staring at us. Maybe it was the souls of all the werefoxe corpses laying in the room, their ghosts floating around. I could just feel their stare, their warnings, telling me to flee, urging me to leave. My senses were telling me to run. But I stayed still. I wasn't going to run this time. My nerves might want me to leave but this time I won't run and I won't hide. I will face my problems an deal with them.

Just as the principal was going to say something, a wolf warrior ran in, breathing hard a furious. Sweat revealing itself from the shine of the moon, glittering in its light, all over his fur coat and he didn't even glance at us before shifting right in front of us, naked and all. I quickly looked away in disgust but strained my ears to try hear their whispers. All I got was 'urgent, fox, car, accident and hurry.' The principal nodded and then turned back to us as the wolf left the building, I couldn't help but notice wolves surrounding the building from the yellow eyes that were clearly visible outside. It then dawned on me how I was the only girl in the midst of everyone and I was the only person who had felt uncomfortable during those few minutes.

"Sorry for the interruption," the principal said, throwing my thoughts away, and I could have sworn he mumbled 'and I'm sorry that he ruined my time to shine' and then he continued, "I have a issue due to our little problem but have no fear I shall be back and return with company" he said smugly before leaving the room into another and then slammed the iron door shut behind him. I then found that as an opportunity to go run over to Alex. "Alex what's going on, why are you hurt? Oh and your nose it's bleeding!" I cried out in horror, now getting a better vision of how battered and bruised he really is. I ran into his arms, taking in the welcome that it I wanted to feel, but it didn't last long. "It's just dry blood" he said with a smile, not long before he did the unspeakable, he brought his lips down to mine and kissed me.

I was very taken back in surprise, my eyes widened as I saw what he did, and then feeling for the first time in awhile I felt cared for, so I did kiss him back. But then he jerked his head back, anger suddenly radiating off of him, when he asked "oh but do you really care?" bitterness rolling off of his tongue with surprised me.

"What are- Alex what are you talking about?" I stuttered, confused. "I should have told him sooner, it's all because you take forever to make up your mind, that's why I'm hurt. It's all you" He said. "What?" I asked again. "I loved you the day I met you. Ever since my mate died, I knew that you would be the one. The other person in my life to be that bright light to scorch away my bitter darkness. You would be mine. My little human. But of course, love is a lie. When I saw you shift, from a fox to... you. It broke me. I knew instantly that it wouldn't work. I should have told alpha Dane about you instantly, but no I let my dreams of believing we could be a thing go too long. So when he found out, he let me try manipulate you into loving me, then he wouldn't hurt you. But if I didn't win your heart before going away to camp, I would live in hell for the first time, but you took too long and now I hate you for it. I don't love you. And you never will feel love again, you stubborn fox. Such a typical fox." He said bitterly.

Nathan just sat through that entire speech, wide eyed. "Astra, we have to leave NOW!" He said quickly, standing up and getting ready to make a run for it. I wanted to ask Alex more questions, but I knew I had to leave. I just knew that when he said typical fox it meant something else. Something different. But now isn't the time to ask about it. But how can I move, my heart feels as if it is being shattered into tiny pieces of glass. Again. All over again.
