Chapter 13: Wolves

**Mateo**

Liam was worried about me.

"Mateo, did you tell her about us?"

"About wolves? She doesn't need to know, just like the coach and her friends from school."

"But what if this connection of yours leads you to an extreme situation?"

"I think I can handle it until tomorrow. I shouldn't see her again."

Although saying that hurt a little. I went to the room, found another shirt of hers with her scent on it, besides the one I ripped. I gathered everything together, I would need it to be able to stay away from her. Having her scent would be a comfort.

Wil confirmed the reservation and I made the payment. My girl already had a place to stay. It was almost time to go pick her up. The phone rang and it was Liam.

"So? Are we going to watch the game today?"

"Yeah. See you there."

"There’s a dance party afterward, do you guys want to go?"

"Take John and the boys. I have a date."

"Really? My cousin with a hottie, finally?"

"Yeah."

"Who is she? Is she from here?"

"It’s better if you don’t know."

"If you want to take her…"

"No, I want something more intimate. It’s a farewell party."

"Wow! Have a nice private party, then."

"See you later."

I went to school to wait for her. She came out at noon sharp. When she saw me, she gave me a beautiful smile. That warmed my heart.

"Hi, beautiful."

"Hi, thanks for picking me up."

"Get on."

**Nat**

I hugged him tightly. I really wanted to stay with him forever. But that was impossible. He was leaving. I was going to college.

We stopped at a big mall.

" Let's have lunch and I'll tell you the news. — he said. "

"Sure!"

He called and found out that there was a vacancy starting tomorrow. That would give me one more night with her, after we watched the game.

I called John to tell him, but I insisted that it be a secret. My father must never know about her existence.
