I was lying on my bed, thinking about what had just happened with Kessler. God, it felt so good to do it, plus Kessler made me feel in the clouds the whole time. I've never felt these things about any other guy, and I say these things because I've never felt so close to anyone to the point of having sex, plus we hardly know each other. I just hope this doesn't bring me problems with both him and my father.

My father! Tonight already, I can't believe I stayed calm just like that. Lucas can come at any time.

"You have to go," I said, looking at him. Kessler had his eyes closed and he looked so calm like that, like he was a good kid when I know he wasn't. Kessler widened his eyes and frowned in my direction.

"Why are you running me away, half moon?" He hugged me, pulling me closer to him. "I'm very well here, what's more, I'm thinking of sleeping here every night," he sighed. I looked at him with a face of horror, how can he think of saying that? It could never happen... although, the idea did not displease me.

"My father and brother are very strict," I murmured, feeling a lump in my throat. Deep down I wanted to be free “So they can find you here at any time, it's better to keep us out of trouble.”

"Do you regret it?" He asks me, his face is doubtful, as if he feared my answer.

"No," I smiled to make him calmer. I hope I don't regret doing this. "I don't regret it at all.”

He smiled.

“I'm glad” he sat down and began to put on his clothes “But it's okay, I'll go, but that doesn't mean that I can't come another night.”

I stood up too and quickly dressed in pajamas, it was almost half past seven at night. I still don't understand why my dad or Lucas don't come. Kessler approached me, his black hair was disheveled, he looked so sexy like that.

"See you later" he kisses me on the lips, it was a soft and warm kiss that tickled my lower belly.

“Sure.” I replied when we parted ways. Kessler turned and went to the window, where with a jump, he fell. I got scared at that moment and looked at the ground, but Kessler was walking towards his house calmly. Wow, this boy is very agile. I just gawked at him until he was totally into it. It was until that moment that the harsh reality hit me and I remembered Riley, his girlfriend and his future wife. What did I do? I turned on the light in my room and went out to go to the kitchen, at that moment I heard the sound of a car parked in front of the house. It was dad and he came with Lucas. I fixed my hair and tried to calm down so they wouldn't notice something strange about me.

I feel different, new, renewed. Maybe it's because I just had my first time and with Kessler Walton. It had been amazing. I went to the kitchen and pretended to look for something to eat.

“We're home,” my father announces, and I walk out of the kitchen and address them.

"How is Lottie?" I wanted to know.

“Much better, painkillers keep her very calm.”

"That's right, tomorrow I'll question her to find out what really happened to her." Added dad, he brought some bags, it seems that he had gone through the supermarket “I brought something to eat” he tells me, giving me the things.

“Okay” I took them “I'll prepare dinner.”

“Lottie wants you to visit her tomorrow,” my brother says to which I nod.

"I was going to go anyway." Having said that, I went to the kitchen. I'm acting nervous and it doesn't suit me, I took a few deep breaths to calm down. I took out the things that dad had bought and put them in their respective places. I decided to make lasagna for dinner. While I was preparing the food I couldn't stop thinking about what had happened with Kessler, deep down I don't want to get excited about him because maybe he's just playing with me and breaking my heart.

Some time later dinner was ready.

"Dinner is ready," I told them, Dad and Lucas were watching a baseball game on TV.

"It's the first time you've said something like that to me," dad murmured, he had been talking to Lucas. They entered the kitchen and sat in the dining room “I'm glad you're starting to have more confidence. I will take you hunting tomorrow, you need to learn how to shoot and know how to survive in life.”

“What are you talking about?” I wanted to know, serving them dinner. It smelled very good, not having a mother had helped me learn to do everything from a very young age. I had to because I live with two men who, to be honest, don't know how to cook.

"Don't tell her, dad, she's a gossip," Lucas reproached.

I gave him an offensive look and started to eat my lasagna.

“I don't think your sister is like that. Lucas was telling me that Lottie seems like a nice girl to him. The truth is, I also feel that she's a good girl but you have to get to know each other better, you can't trust someone just because of the first impression she made on you” explains dad “you have to get to know her first in all her facets, in the angry, calm, sad facets , happy, how is the behavior with other people, how she treats you in public. All of this, including how she behaves with animals.”

Dad was right, in part I felt bad because I didn't know Kessler and had given myself to him in body. I didn't even know what to say.

“Lottie made a good impression on me when I met her. Otherwise I wouldn't have worried about her when she got lost.” I replied.

“And I want to congratulate you” he tells us both “They were very brave, I am very proud. Not everyone goes into the woods to look for a lost girl. You worked as a team and were successful in your search, you would make good detectives,” he encourages us. Lucas and I laugh.

"The Bailey brothers," says dad. "I can imagine them," he sighed. "I don't want to get my hopes up."

I love my family.

Some time after dinner and spending a few hours with Lucas and dad in the living room watching a movie, I went up to my room to sleep. I was exhausted, I'm very sleepy. Maybe because of the hustle and bustle of the whole day. I locked the door of my room in case Kessler came tonight, I looked through the window towards his room. It was in the dark, it seems that it was not. I was a little disappointed and my thoughts bothered me that Kessler was with Riley having a great time. I lay on the bed, Kessler's scent still on my pillow. I took my cell phone and checked my social networks, I don't have any boy from this town added... I wanted to look for Kessler but I regretted it. I left my cell phone on the nightstand and went to sleep.

The noise of something hitting the wall of the house made me wake up with a start. The light was off and I only saw darkness, I reached my hand to the lighter and turned on the light. Breathe easy seeing no one else in the room. I had a strange feeling, I got out of my bed quietly and went to the window. Nobody could be seen downstairs, I thought maybe a thief was out there. In Kessler's room the light was still off. He surely he is sleeping peacefully in his bed. Deep down I hoped that he would come and keep me company. I was going to turn around to go back to my bed and go to sleep, but a figure near Kessler's house left me still where I was. It was dark but I could see his silhouette perfectly, his eyes were shining even in the dark, I could feel his growl directed towards me. He was that same wolf, yes.

My God. What is happening in this town? The wolf walked through the darkness, I know he is looking at me because I could feel his gaze and, from one second to the next, he howled.
