I looked in the mirror at the outfit I was wearing, I couldn't tell if I liked it or not. "Princess, are you coming?" Devin called as he walked into the room. 

I shrugged as I dramatically fell back onto the bed, "Maybe, I don't know." You know what, I've decided. I don't like this outfit. I got up and walked into the bathroom. I slipped on a pretty pink dress and walked out, better. "I guess we better go." 

We walked to his Lamborghini and got in. It was a long drive before we drove past the mall. "Uh Devin?" I said glancing over at him, "We passed the mall." I said as I looking back at it as it got smaller and smaller.

He nodded and gripped the steering wheel tighter, "I know." 

I furrowed my brows, "Okay, so where are we going?" I asked in confusion.

"We're going to the mall." 

I looked at him dumbfounded, "But Dev, we just passed the mall." I heard him chuckle- how dare he, I'm so fucking confused.

He sighed, "To us, it's called the mall. But I guess you could call it 'the werewolves only mall.'"

When he said that I finally understood and to be honest it kind of relieved me. I didn't want to run into anyone I knew. But if I did maybe I could get out of here? Wait no, bad Kelsey! This is your soulmate you're talking about. 

Maybe he is, but the way he handled meeting me still bugs me.

We pulled into the parking lot and Devin parked the car swiftly, "We're here, Princess." I nodded and climbed out, him following in suit. As we walked into the mall my eyes spotted a Victoria secret store. I quickly looked away as if I hadn't seen it- I can't take him in there!

But to my despair, Devin saw and then took my arm leading me to the store. "Devin!" I said harshly, "What are you doing?"

"Taking you shopping," He smiled innocently.

☆☆☆

After many, many stores I had at least ten bags in my hands- plus the fourteen that Devin was carrying. I don't know how he managed it, but he did. I had shirts, dresses, shoes, lingerie- that I didn't want but Devin insisted I get- and pants, and accessories. 

I hope he knows buying it won't mean I'll wear it, "I'm hungry." I complained out of nowhere.

"Want to head to the food court?" Devin asked as I glanced towards it and nodded. We headed over there and set the bags at one of the tables. "Stay here, I'm going to go and get us food." I nodded and he walked off. 

When he was out of view my legs just started moving and I had no choice but to follow. I was running away. I had made it up an escalator and was right by a bathroom when I saw Devin start looking around frantically. I immediately felt bad, I did that.

I don't want to run away! I want to stay with him! I scolded myself and quickly ran into the bathroom and washed my hands. I took a deep breath before walking out, and as I suspected Devin had followed my scent and was waiting outside of it.

His face showed that of relief when he saw me and he engulfed me in a hug, breathing in my scent. "What happened to stay here?" He chuckled lightly as he squeezed me tighter.

I gulped, "S-Sorry." I said as I felt my claustrophobia set in. "D-Devin, you have to let go," I said weakly. When he looked down and saw me his grip retreated. I felt my eyes flicker and I wobbled before Devin helped steady me

"I'm sorry, Princess. You just scared us."

After a few minutes, I composed myself. "Us?" I questioned as Devin released me.

He nodded, "Me and my wolf."

"You have a wolf?" I asked raising a brow.

He nodded again, "Since I'm a werewolf I have a wolf spirit, his name is Kai." 

"Wolf spirit, good to know." I giggled as we walked back down the elevator. I was still a bit light-headed so I gripped the hand-rail, by the time we got to the bottom I was fine. "So what'd you get for us?" I asked as we sat down.

"Pizza, although it's cold now."

I narrowed my eyes playfully at him, "Yeah because someone is a nervy-pants." Although he a right to be, I had been running away. And he was never going to know, even though I had changed my mind.

He chuckled nervously, "My bad." 

After we ate our now cold pizza, we were ready to go. We carried the bags out to the car and this time the drive was surprisingly short- or maybe I just daydream a lot. But it felt like only a few minutes before we got home. 

I was overcome with a feeling I couldn't quite decipher. And it stayed with me as Devin and I carried the bags upstairs. Even when he spoke to me, I only nodded. I felt like I didn't need to make a sound while I hung up my clothes in the closet, and tucked them into the dresser.

Why did I feel so small? So speechless? I was about to go wander around until I found Sam but I smelled something gross. What is that stench? Oh my god, it's me. 

I quickly got into the shower. I scrubbed myself with Devin's shampoo, conditioner, and body wash before climbing out. I sighed happily as I realized I smelled just like him. I wrapped my towel tightly around my body before entering the closet.

I put on one of my new sets of undergarments and a sweatshirt with a pleated white skirt, very cute! I nodded at myself in the mirror. After I brushed through my hair I headed towards Sam's room. When I opened the door she laid on the bed and Shane was nowhere to be found.

"Oh, hey Kels." She said with a smile. I pushed her over on the bed and laid next to her, "What's up?" I shrugged. She gave me a concerned look, "What's wrong?"

I shrugged again before finally speaking, "Nothing's wrong, I just feel like I have nothing to say." I said quietly, I felt like my voice meant nothing. "I'd be an awesome mute!" I joked.

Sam burst out laughing, "No you wouldn't! You never shut up!"

I gasped and hit her on the shoulder, "I do not!" We laid there in silence and I thought of Devin, I don't know what it is about him but I'm just drawn to him. It's like all paths in my life lead back to him. Besides, he's funny, sweet, and cute- maybe I can give him a real chance.

"Yeah, you should." Sam said with a nod.

I snorted, "Oh shit did I say that out loud?"

She giggled, "Yeah, you most definitely did. Can I confess something to you?"

"Sure, I'm a newfound mute so I won't tell anyone." I said with a smirk.

She slapped my shoulder, "Shut the fuck up Kelsey!" She laughed before turning more serious, "I actually like Shane too, maybe we can give them a chance. Just until our parents get back though, then we can go from there."

"Sounds like a plan." I agreed.
