The Moons Darkside

Chapter Seventeen | I Spy

Seth POV

Milo looked at me like I was crazy; I just got done explaining everything that happened with Tara and me and the hot tube. "Let the girl be independent; she's a grown woman who can handle her shit."

"against Kain thought, he wouldn't try this hard for a girl unless he has his motives."I start racking my brain, trying to think of ideas.' what does Kian need from Tara

"Remember when you guys used to study at school, and you would text me in the library about Tara? How she made you feel and all the icky lovey stuff."Milo asked. I look at him unamused.

"Vaguely, but what's your point."

"You care about Tara more than you would like to admit. You think it's because you are the next leader of the pack, but it's not. You are in love with her and would do everything possible to ensure she's safe."Milo looked at me with the utmost concern on his face.

'I was in love with Tara, and I know that. She smiles her giggles. That notice of hers could make a man's knees grow weak. I have her, and I need to explain.'

I hear my phone ring from the other room. I answer it." what's the problem, Nico."

"Well, I don't have a problem. Did you forget about tonight, Alpha? It's a full moon; we're going over to Grants lake house. "

"Did you know it was a full moon?"I look over to Milo, who shrugs.

"Fine, Milo and I are coming. But we were leaving the second dawn broke. Understood." I tilted my head, saying to go to my room.

"Yes, chief."Nico ends the call, and I grab my duffle bag.

"You forgot the full moon; I've been buzzed all week. Can't you feel it?"Milo said, smiling, sitting in my desk chair.

'I've been preoccupied lately. But this is what I need. The full moon clears my head, and I need to know what I say to tara before I see her again."

"Why do you need to plan out what you say? Just say it when you see her."

"Tara has been through more than she shows; she doesn't speak about friends or family. She barely keeps in contact with anyone. When we talked, she said she's been through a lot and needed to take care of herself. I need to tell her. That I'm there for her."

"aw, aren't you a romantic," Milo said. I glared at him and grabbed my pillow, throwing it at his face." Oh, la la, of tara, won't you forgive the big bad wolf."Milo dances around pretending to be me, and the pillow is Tara.

I glare at Milo, grabbing my other pillow and throwing it at him. I run to him, flip him over to my bed, and wrestle him.

"Oh, Seth, your big strong arms are so strong."Milo makes his voice sound ladylike."Oh my."I smack his head and get off him. I go back to packing my bag. "Get your stuff from your car; your riding with me."

Seth

Milo meets Seth out front swinging his key around. Seth goes to the driver's seat, and Milo sits next to him in the passenger. Seth put on his sunglasses and revved the car looking at Milo.

"Promises me one thing, you'll wait till tomorrow to think about Tara; tonight is just wolves, only.No human girls."

"I should be telling you that," Seth said, making milo laugh.

Tara

Tara walked inside the house; on the car ride home, she contemplated what to say to Seth. she headed to her bedroom, trying to look presentable. She changed out of her sweats and into a lovely dress and did her makeup. she let her hair flow freely as she heard the shower go off.

she walked to the door and knocked, no answer; she heard footsteps and the door locked." Seth, I know your in there; please, we need to talk." Tara waited for him to reply, but he didn't answer."FIne I need to talk. I'm sorry I am. I've been through so much in my life, and when I called you because of Kian, I was scared. I indeed was. But then I talked with your mom, and I figured out why you want to protect me. It's because you care about me.'Tara waited for a reply, but she just heard nothing. "I care about you, Seth Amaris. with my whole heart."She waited out his door; she heard something slip under the door. A note. she bent down and picked it up 'go outside, ill meet you out there, close your eyes, and tell you when to open them.'

She walked down to the patio and underneath the full moon. She felt the cooling breeze on her face and closed her eyes, wrapping her arms around her and smiling. she heard footsteps, and she smiled."I'm sorry about yesterday and this morning, and I didn't mean to make things awkward between us; it's just. I don't want things to get ruined. but now."She felt Seth's arms wrap around her, his face nuzzled in her neck." now, I want to be with you. I don't give a damn about Kian."

"Well, that's too bad."Kian's voice started her, a burst of crazed laughter from behind, making Tara twist her arms away and look back at Kian.

"Where, Seth?"Tara slowly backed away, and Kian just smiled, looking at her.

"It's the full moon, dear, don't you know this is where werewolves are the utmost prime with their power. so short and invincible".Kian laughed."I planned this perfectly; I knew you're going to be with Asha, and Seth was away. I waited quietly for you to get home, and I wouldn't have thought you were going to get so dressed up for me." Tara backed away even more. She glared at Kian before going out full sprint, not looking back; if she heard toward the street and to the Amaris home, she would be safe.

Kiana rolled his eyes and waited before he chased after her."I didn't like running before I had my little one meal, and that's what werewolves are for."

Tara ran, but she could feel Kian's gaze on her; it was late, and the moon was shining; she needed to run faster and get on the street. She made it to the road, but a car came speeding towards her; it hit her and made her shot back into the forest, rolling down. She hit her head on a rock, and her vision became blurry.

Kian caught up and saw tara passe doubt and Micahles car do the damage."If she's dead, you're next."Kian pointed at Michale, who nodded.

"Sorry, sir."

Kian carries Tara to the car, ties her up, and puts a gag in her mouth to stop her from screaming."This would have been easier if you had fallen in love with me." He gets in the passenger seat, and Michale drives faster.
