Ellipsis

Chapter 10

It has been a week since the day he asked for me to give him a chance. Well, I have been giving him every chance he could have but all I get is disappointment. He is still the same Kendrick that I have known. Cold and aloof-at least for me.

I don’t know if he’s still going to keep up to his words but seeing him right now laughing with his friends, completely oblivious to my presence, I couldn’t help but think that we are not going to work out.

I stood from the table and walked out of the cafeteria. He didn’t even notice that I left. I rolled my eyes. What kind of mate is he?

“Mind to give me that?” Someone said that caught me by surprise.

I didn’t realize that I reached the locker section until someone spoke. And when I finally focused, I figured, it was Tyler, grinning like an idiot. He was leaning on a locker with his arms crossed. Had I known he was studying in this university too, I would’ve chosen another one. But it was too late.

I looked at the burger in my hand. I already lost my appetite when Kendrick totally ignored me after his friends came inside the cafeteria. I shoved it to Tyler. “You’re welcome.” I said sarcastically and pushed him aside since it was my locker he was leaning in.

He chuckled.

“What?” I muttered as I took my bag out of the metal box.

“It was not the burger I was referring to.” He said.

“And what is it?” I asked.

“I meant your body.” He whispered right beside my left ear which made me cringe.

“Will you stop that?” I hissed.

He just laughed.

I walked away rolling my eyes. “I will have you one of these days.” He shouted.

And Tyler is officially back.

…

I heard Kendrick’s car arriving. It was a good timing since I already set the table for dinner. I composed myself because just the sound of his footsteps got me out of my bearings.

“Dinner’s ready.” I said when he got in.

He just gave me a quick smile. “Nah, I ate already.” He said and walked straight into his room.

I stared blankly into the wall for a moment and then snapped out of it.

I noticed that he’s been lenient with his imposed rules. I can go out whenever I want to. I can talk to whomever I want to. It seems he doesn’t care anymore.

Just the thought of it, hurts. And every day, I notice that he is drifting away. And this scheme, this “living together” thing, is just some obligation he has to fulfill. I can’t blame him though. He doesn’t want this in the first place. He is just another werewolf stuck in a curse and the will of the moon. Maybe if Raven didn’t set a curse, Kendrick might have a different path and a different mate.
