Love and Lies

Chapter 8

Moonbeam's POV-(The Next Day)

I woke up with a grin on my face. I brushed my fingertips across my lips and giggled. A knock on the bedroom door brought me out of my thoughts. I pulled back the sheets and blankets before getting out of bed.

"Just a minute!" I yelled while I changed out of my pajamas and put on some real clothes. I opened the door a few seconds later to find Dayton leaning against the door frame. He had a single white rose in his hands and an adorable look on his face...but that didn't stop me from wanting to play a little prank on him for what he did yesterday.(If you haven't noticed yet, I get people back by pranking them.)

"Yes? Would you like something Dayton?" I smiled and leaned on the door some.

"Nothing much. I just wanted to see my beautiful mate this morning and give her this rose. Have you seen my mate?" He said smiling.

"I'm not sure. What does your mate look like?" I said playing along.

"Well she's about your height. She has a smile that could light up the sky and hair that is silky smooth. Eyes as big as a child's and a cute button nose." He said that with so much love in his voice that I walked up to him and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"I do believe I've seen her around somewhere. I'll make sure to tell her you dropped by." We both started laughing.

"Come on in. I was just getting ready for the day. " I said. He nodded and walked past me while handing me the flower.

"I'll just wait for you here." He said while he made himself comfortable. I thought now was the perfect time to play the prank on him. Especially since he had his dirty shoes on while laying on top of my bed.

"Thanks for the rose by the way. It's beautiful." I said while going into the bathroom that was connected to my room.

"No problem. I saw it and I thought of you." He said.

"Funny. Bane said the same thing when he got me a white rose as well. I asked him what made the flower remind him of me but he just smiled and hugged me close to him. I still remember his scent, he smelled like pine and gingerbread. His brown eyes sparkled whenever he would look at me and he only ever smiled around me, my sister, and his closest friends. Being a bad boy and all, I guess smiling would ruin his image. I miss him so much." I said with a sad smile on my face while I ran a brush through my hair.

I heard a growl and my sad smile turned into a smirk. My plan had worked and now I just have to wait to see how this goes.

Dayton stormed into the bathroom and stood right next to me. I changed my smirk into a wistful smile. I ran the brush through my hair still. Dayton was breathing hard through his nose, his hands were both in fists, and I could see from the corner of my eyes that his eyes were almost black now. Which meant that Fang hadn't liked what I said very much and Dayton couldn't control his wolf...or maybe he didn't want to. Either way, Fang was forward and he still hadn't spoken.

I set my brush down and turned towards my mate. I took his hands in mine and uncurled his hands so that they laid flat in mine. I intertwined our fingers and kissed both of his hands.

"What's wrong, Love?" I asked even though I knew exactly what was wrong.

"You are mine! Not Bane's or anyone else's. MINE!" Fang said. I looked up into his eyes and smiled.

"Of course, Fang. I love you and no one else. I am yours as you are mine. No one can take me away from you, I promise." I smiled at him and he seemed to calm down a little but not a whole lot.

"Then why? Why do you speak of this boy, Bane, as if you love him? Why when you say you love me?" Fang said. I kissed his cheek and smiled up at him.
