Chapter 16: Chapter 16

Eliana's Point of View (Two Weeks Later)

"Look at them. I can't believe he would choose her over me. I mean, look at me. Any man would want to be with me," Ashley said. We were in the cafeteria, and Nikki was sitting at a table with Nikki. Nikki was on his lap, and they were kissing. It had been two weeks since Killian and Nikki got together as boyfriend and girlfriend. They had been showing off their relationship in front of everyone with all the touching and kissing. Nikki made sure everyone knew they were together. Everyone was shocked that the school's Playboy had chosen to be with her.

I knew it hurt Ashley seeing them together, and I hated to admit it, but it hurt me, too. I tried my best not to look their way, but it was hard when Nikki made sure to talk loudly so everyone would see them together. It was obvious she wanted everyone to know that she was with him.

The day Killian spoke to Ashley, he had apologized to her and told her that he was with Nikki and that he had to stop messing with her. I guess he had not only stopped messing around with Ashley but also every other female he had fucked. All the females were upset that he had chosen Nikki, but none of them dared to say anything to her. She was the future Alpha Queen after all.

I wondered how he could choose her. She was rude and disrespectful to everyone. She definitely wasn't queen material. It was obvious she only cared about herself. Nikki was a werewolf, and she was pretty. She had long blond hair and blue eyes. She was petite and a part of the cheerleading team just like Ashley was. But Nikki was a bitch.

She had been sleeping over every night since they had been together. I knew it made Ashley feel bad. It also made me feel bad. I didn't tell Ashley about what had happened between Killian and me. I knew I should have but I didn't want to ruin our friendship. She was already sad, and I didn't want to make her more upset as well.

The worst thing of all was the way I felt about Killian being with Nikki. It hurt me everytime I saw them together. I didn''t understand why I always felt a pain in my chest seeing him with her. I knew I didn't have the right to feel that way. Killian was never mine, and I should never have let him do those things to me. We never spoke about what had happened. He basically acted like it never happened. That wasn't a shocker to me. I was never Killian's type. He would never choose to be with a girl like me. Those thoughts made me feel sad, and that made me upset. Why did I even care?

I looked over at Killian and Niikki and instantly regretted it. They were kissing passionately. I quickly looked away. i didn't want to see that.

"Hey," Lillian said as she came to the table. She looked excited

"Hi," I said

"Hey," Ashley added

"What's wrong with the two of you? You both seem upset. Anyway, that doesn't matter. Guess what? James asked me to go to the Blood Moon festival with him. I was wondering if the two of you would go as well, since there will mostly be werewolves there?" Lilian said

The Blood Moon Festival was going to be this Saturday night. It was the night of the Blood Moon. The Blood Moon was a special time for werewolves because it was the only night they could sense their fated mate. Werewolves from all over would come to the kingdom to see if they could sense their fated mate.

"I don't know. Wouldn't that be weird for us to go?" I asked

"Yeah, plus I don't want to see Killian and Nikki together any more than I already have to," Ashley added. I wanted to agree with her, but I knew that would be suspicious, so I just stayed quiet.

"I have to go meet with the English teacher. I will see you later," Ashley said

"See ya," I said, and she left

"Oh, Killiian, you are so naughty," I heard Nikki say. It was getting harder and harder for me to stay in control of my powers. Every time I saw them, I had to calm myself.

"It must really suck seeing them like that, huh?" Lilian said, and that caused me to look at her.

"Why would you say that?" I asked

"I was at home that night you and Killian came back from the shelter. I know everything," Lilian said, and I started to get nervous.

"What?" I said

"Yep, I might not have heard anything, but I saw you."

"Lilian, I..."

"Look, I don't want to tell Ashley about it. She is already hurting. I just ask that you come with me to the Blood Moon Celebration this weekend," Lilian said

"Are you threatening to tell her if I don't go with you? That is low, Lillian," I replied

"I know, Eliana. I just really need you to come with me. I am nervous, and I would feel better if you were there. Please?" Lilian asked. Every time Lilian put on that sad little facial expression I couldn't say no to her

"Fine, I will go," I replied

"Thank you so much, Eliana. It is going to be so fun," Lillian replied, and the bell rang

"I am going to go to class," I replied, and I got up to leave. I could feel someone looking at me, and I turned to look at Killian. He and Ashley were still all over each other.

The rest of the day went slowly, and I was so happy when class was over. Ashley, Lilian, and I headed back to the house. We were about to go into the kitchen when someone bumped into me. I almost fell, but two strong arms wrapped around me before I could hit the ground. I knew instantly by the sparks that went through my body who it was.

Killian.
