Leila's POV:
I sighed as I threw my phone onto mine and Derek's bed in the loft. When I woke up this morning, Derek was gone.
He was still grieving over the loss of Boyd. I just wish I knew where he was, if he was okay. I left text messages and voicemails, but no answer.
I sighed as I began to pace, "Where would he go?" I thought. I ran my hand through my hair before grabbing my phone and keys and headed out of our loft.
As I walked towards my car, I felt someone watching me. When I stood in front of my car, I heard footsteps behind me.
I quickly turned around and flung my hand to the left, causing the person to slam into another car. It was the guy who saved me.
I walked towards him, "Why are you following? How do you know where I live?"
"So this is the thanks I get for trying to save you from the Alpha twins?" he groaned as he slowly stood up from the ground, "Not to mention, I did keep you alive after you fell three stories onto an escalator."
I crossed my arms, "Thank you for saving me."
He smirked, "You're welcome."
I thrusted my hand towards him, causing him to groan as he was slammed against the car again, "Why are you following me? Why did you save me? Who are you?"
He sighed, "I know you have questions. But I can't answer them here. There might be people listening."
I raised an eyebrow at him, "Why would I go anywhere with you? I don't know you."
He paused as I saw different emotions in his eyes, "You know me. Deep down, you know that I feel familiar to you. That you feel safe with me."
I examined his facial features and noticed some similarities between us. I gulped as I felt my hand begin to shake, I didn't want to get my hopes up.
"You remind me of someone. Someone I lost a long time ago" I spoke softly.
He gave me a small teary smile, "Remember what I told you that night, hermanita?"
I felt a tear go down my face as I shook my head, "No. No, no. I heard the gunshot. I felt you die."
I shook my head as I heard Mateo's voice over and over again in my head. I glared at him and wiped away my fallen tears.
"Who are you?" I exclaimed as I clenched my fist, causing the ground to shake and push him further into the car.
"You know who I am," he winced, "If you don't believe me, then use the truth spell on me."
"Veritas tempus" I said, "Who are you?"
"My name is... Mateo Luis Santiago," he said, causing me to freeze, "The only son of Luis and Gabriella Santiago. Brother to Leilani Gabriella Santiago-McCall."
