Official

Thanks for 8k reads. I'm so happy with all the feedback and I'm glad you're all enjoying the book!

Thanks so much !

I held my ground not willing to move aside and allow Lily to go to Grayson's side.

I wasn't going through this again, this will not be a repeat of Chase and I.

"Elizabeth how can you say you're falling in love with him!?" Tyler yelled angrily and I looked to Grayson.

Olivia was at his side now. She had deemed it ok for her to come and help him seeing as how all of Tyler's fury was pointed to me now.

She gave me a desperate look that clearly was asking me to stand down.

I wasn't going to, I was done letting tyler bully these people and everyone just standing by and allowing it!

"Because I am tyler. I am falling in love with Grayson." I whispered and braced myself for a hit, a slap, anything. Instead he sighed

"I thought you would be stronger than to fall for a vampires natural charms. There's no way he will continue this charade once he wakes up. I'm sorry Elizabeth but Grayson doesn't truly want you. He won't take this pain just to prove 'his love' anymore. When he leaves you then I will be waiting and you can apologize then." he gave me a smile and I glared. I can APOLOGIZE to him!? Oh boy tyler sure knows how to piss off a girl.

"For the time being I let you say your goodbyes." He turned and left and I stared at him completely dumbfounded. He always just randomly left at the strangest moments. How can anyone just walk out like that? Is he THAT confident that I will want him someday?

"Elizabeth why don't you go home and get some rest." Olivia sounded concerned, her voice was pleading. I sighed and nodded "yeah I guess I should" I muttered slowly, giving Grayson one last longing look.

"I'll contact you when he's awake. He should be ok" she whispered the last part and she drove me home. I had to go inside quietly, it was 8 now and I still didn't want to see my mom or Erica.

When I entered my room I almost screamed. Lily stood at my window, looking around my room casually.

"What are you doing!?" I almost screamed, instead whispering harshly. I locked my door and she eyed me.

"You and I need to talk" she raised an eyebrow and I glared.

"No we don't. There's nothing to say" I gritted my teeth in frustration.

Lily laughed now, walking forward. The click of her heels unnerved me.

"You think you can actually come between me and my mate?" she sounded so.... amused.

I cleared my throat and laughed, tilting my head to the side.

"Oh but Lily, I already have" I smiled at her and her eyes widened in anger.

She slowly walked to my bookshelf, examining it's contents.

"I have to admit Elizabeth you are quite the threat. The other human girls were pathetic. You're actually putting up a fight though. It amazes me how a girl from a werewolf family got so mixed up with vampires. That says a lot about you. You don't judge primarily do you? you're open to new things. And to think you're actually pretty! You didn't have the immediate connection with Grayson but it's there now, isn't it? why don't I tell you about how things were between me and him while we were together?"

She straightened up and raised an eyebrow.

I just stared at her blankly, not having moved from my spot by the door.
