Rebecca

I just had s*x with William Howler.

How the heck did that happen?

"I love how you fit into my arms..." William's large hand is held over my stomach while he hugs me fro

I glare at his veiny hand. "Stop petting my belly like it's a puppy or something!"

"I can't do that..." William mumbles into my ear. "You're beautiful, and I want to touch you everywhere "It's fat."

"It's not."

He says it with such conviction that I melt.

I'm sizzling on the inside. William is such a great guy once you get to know him, but I can't stay here w William kisses the back of my head. "Do you want to spend the night? I would love to cuddle." He is a cuddler?

Damn, all the more reason to get the hell out of here!

I shoot up from his bed as if his touch burnt me. William stares at me, but I can't lie beside him no ma "No, I can't stay... I have places I need to be, and staying here would be a terrible idea..."

"A terrible idea?"

Why does he sound so wounded?

"Yes, it would be a mistake."

nd. He chuckles. "You're so much smaller than me... I find it cute..."

othing is wrong with your belly. It's sexy, just like you."

w much I want to.

to say.

William watches me with a sad smile and stands up from his bed. He palms his neck, looking unsure w Tell him that you like him, a voice inside my head tells me. But I bat it away and continue what I'm do I'm gathering my things while my heart is racing. I have to get out of William's room and slip into one oversized hoodies. He is towering over me, watching me with concerned eyes. "Why are you in such a rush to leave me?" William questions, not in his usual unfriendly tone but in a more affectionate one. It terrifies me because I can't be with him. He makes me feel things that I shouldn't feel.

There are butterflies, flutters, and warmth. My heart is crying for William, and it's terrible because the werewolf world is simple: you don't fall for someone who isn't your mate. "You know why." I stop walking to meet gaze eyes by the door. He is still shirtless and beautiful in a way I'm sure will leave scars on my eyes. It's like staring into the sun.

"I really don't, Rebecca... I'm at a loss here... Help me..."

I meet his eyes. "You do understand."

He sighs. "No, I don't understand. Explain it to me. Please."

Seriously?

"You're not my mate, William, and this was a terrible idea. It just further complicates things." Because I will catch feelings. I probably already have, judging by how my blood is boiling.

It hurts me to watch William looking hurt-isn't that a sign of love, that you want the other person to smile?

I don't know. My head hurts.

"Does it matter?" William arches a thick eyebrow. "And it's just s*x, Rebecca. How is that complicated?"

Really?

He can't figure that out without me spelling it out for him? Most people can't have s*x without strings attached. I'm terrified of falling in love with William, and then what? There is no happy ending to be found here.

My mate is Davis, and I have no clue who William belongs to. But sooner or later, they will come along and destroy us.

William isn't my mate.

He is out of my league.

And I should get far, far away from him.

"It doesn't matter..." I'm running down the stairs back to the party. Music is blasting, and people are mingling. "I'm heading home. Thank you for... You know... But it won't happen again." "Rebecca!"

"No, we are done here, William! Please just drop it!"

"Don't go!"

"But I have to!"

He grabs my hand from behind, and I pause to look up into his confused face and beautiful eyes. Damn him for being attractive.

"What are you doing?" William asks in a low tone.

I swallow thickly. "Running."

He tilts his head. "Running?"

"Yes."

"From what?"

You. Us. This.

"I just have to get home... It's nothing personal..."

William's lips slightly curl into a hopeful smile. "Do you like me?"

My lips tremble, and I part them to speak. "Well... I don't hate you."

He releases my hand, and his lips quirk up into a smile. His eyes are roaming over my face.

"Is that some weird way of admitting that you like me?"

My blush burns my face. I bet that I'm glowing, yet I know that I should be honest here. "I guess it means that—"

"Oh-my-god!"

We both turn around to acknowledge the new voice. It's a beautiful girl with brown hair and luminous skin. Her cheeks are pink, and she is wearing big, golden earrings.

She is standing at the bottom of the stairs, showcasing her perfect white teeth in a bright smile.

My eyes narrow, but the girl won't leave the area down the stairs. Her eyes are glued to William, and dread settles like lead in my stomach when I hear him audibly gasp.

No.

It can't be...

Please.

Not now.

f**k, I think I'm going to cry.

Silently, I lift my eyes to William and find him staring back at the gorgeous brunette as if put under a spell.

"You're my..." The girl trails off, giggling before blushing madly. She is stupidly cute. "You're my mate."

She said it.

It's confirmed.

My world comes to a screeching halt, and my heart seems to shatter along with her words.

You're my mate.

Why does that sentence hurt me so much?

Tears prickle behind my eyes, but I'm too proud to show that I'm sad. Instead, I face William with a smile. "You take care of yourself, okay?"

William blinks, and I turn around. I can't look at his stupidly beautiful face right now, or I will cry a river.

I press my way past the brunette and hurry into the crowd of people, desperate to get home. Tonight has been a nightmare, and my heart won't stop hurting.

It's like someone has pressed a knife through my chest. I'm bleeding out, and nothing can stop the pain. Why is it hurting? I know why, but... Why William? Why did I have to fall for William? f**k!

A whimper escapes my lips as I hurry outside. William isn't following me-why would he now that he has found the love of his life?

I hurry out into the street, determined to get home because once I'm there, I'm going to bawl my eyes out.

I think I'm in love with William.
