I stuck a glance around the corner, and there was one very stunned wolf. Feeling I could change again without focusing, I rounded the corner. He was just standing there completely stunned. Playing with him, I nudged my head into his chest. When he still didn't move. I licked the side of his face, and he shook his head, waking up from his stunned state.

Now the real questions were about to begin.

Chapter Fifty-one

My last glance at Zane was him standing there stunned, and I wasn't waiting for him to snap out of it so I ran and normally I wouldn't have got away from him so easily, but he was stunned. So, I took advantage of it. I pulled a towel off the washing line at the back of mom’s house and wrapped it around me.

I sneaked back inside and, lucky for me, mom was fast asleep. I took a deep breath in when I closed the back door behind me.

Shit.

He knows.

Now, what should I do?

***

He wasn't at school.

I hadn't seen him, and I was now at my locker so I had made it this far.

I was pulling out my Social Studies book when the locker slammed hard in my face, just missing my fingers.

What the fuck?

And then I went cold.

I inhaled, and that was all I needed.

Darn.

"You and me. Now."

"Um, I'm kind of busy, Zane."

Then he grabbed my elbow and dragged me along behind him. People were staring, all thinking what's he doing with her. I wasn't in the popular group so why would Zane Harris have anything to say to me.

He slid open an empty classroom and let go of me when he closed the door.

He slowly turned around, and when he did, it was like a punch to my lungs.

Those eyes.

His temper was only just under control.

"How long?" he spat out while flexing his hands.

"A while."

"How?"

"My dad and brother gave me an injection that undid what you did to me." I put the book down on the table and sighed. "I wanted to tell you but then time passed, and I didn't see the point anymore."

"See the point! SEE THE FUCKING POINT!" He was fuming. "YOU ARE MY MATE! I've been going through hell without you, and here you are keeping it from me."

"So, don't go on with the ‘I'm your mate’ bullshit. You let them wipe my memories. YOU LET THEM TAKE EVERYTHING FROM ME!"

"You were sick. I didn't get a choice."
