Mates with the Enemy

CHAPTER ELEVEN

Sarah's POV:
I still haven't told Aaron about Felix. It's been a couple days now since we met.
Yesterday morning my dad got a call. He said he found a new job and that we'll be moving soon. I'll be gone by Tomorrow.
I've already started packing all my stuff into boxes. Aaron had called me earlier to hang out but I made some random excuse about homework to get out of it.
I felt guilty for hiding the truth from him, but I know that if I tell him about Felix he'd probably go into a killing rage.
Sometimes, I felt bad for Aaron. He could be a pretty sweet guy, but his dad has raised him to be vicious and merciless. All Aaron has ever wanted was to make his dad proud, and he believes he can do that by being just like him.
I still don't know what I'm going to tell Aaron. I think the best thing to do would be to just leave and not tell him a thing. He hasn't scent marked me yet and I'll stall that so he doesn't. That'll help me escape and decrease the chances of him finding me. He can't go on to the Midnight Pack Territory so soon he'll just give up. I feel bad for doing this but there is no other way. I'm gonna hang out with them tonight and try to give subtle goodbye's.

I finish my packing and put my stuff into the truck. I go back in and grab my purse, getting ready to meet up with the guys. We're meeting up at the cafe because I don't want Aaron to come and pick me up because then he'll see the moving truck. We'll be leaving at 6 in the morning so no one will notice. I get into my car and drive to the cafe.

When I enter, Aaron, Damien and Rayden have already found a table and are sitting there joking around. I smile, I'm gonna miss them. I walk over and take a seat beside Aaron.

"Hey Babe," he says, hugging me and kissing me on my forehead. It doesn't feel as good as it did before. I guess that's what happens when you find your mate. I smile at him.

"OK guys keep it PG-13 please, there are young kids here!" Damien says playfully, shielding his eyes like we're doing something wrong. Rayden joins in the act and I giggle. Aaron glares at them but breaks out into a smile. The afternoon goes by with Damien making weird jokes and all of us laughing. I relish these few hours with my friends and enjoy myself, leaving all my worries behind. We order some food and eat, all the while Rayden keeps on stealing Damien's fries and Damien smacks him every time. Eventually the night falls and the cafe is about to close. Aaron pays and we all go out. Before I leave though, I give each of them a hug. They look confused but I just smile and tell them how much they mean to me.

"Is something wrong Sarah?" Rayden asks. I shake my head and laugh.

"No, I just wanted to tell you guys how much you mean to me because I don't say it that often." Rayden smiles and Damien swings his arms around my shoulder.

"You mean a lot to us too," He says. "You were able to tame our big bad Alpha a little bit." He smirks and I laugh. Aaron smacks him on the head and he shrieks. We all burst into a fit of laughter. Once we calm down, Rayden and Damien walk over to their car, leaving me and Aaron together.

"I was thinking," he starts.

"Don't even go there Aaron," I scold him. "You know that I don't want you to scent mark me. I'm fine! No one will kidnap me or steal me away!" I exclaim. Aaron sighs.

"Okay but I will eventually have to, you know that right?" I nod. He won't really have to ever, but i don't say anything. He smiles and give me a quick peck on the lip.

"You sure you don't want me to drop you off." I shake my head.

"No," I say. "Plus I have my car. I'll be fine Aaron!" He looks at me for a minute and I feel like he knows. I quiver on the inside but keep a calm exterior. He sighs and gives me one last hug.

"Goodnight," he says.

"Goodnight," I whisper back and we both walk off to our cars. I get into the car and start driving and that is when I let my tears fall. I'm happy but I feel bad for how I'm going to leave them all.

It's 5 in the morning and we're just putting a few more things into the truck. I wake up my mom and smile at her. She has started to understand that her gambling isn't helping us so she's vowed to stop. We grab the last free things remaining and pile into the truck. We leave for our 5 hour drive to the Midnight Territory and I stare out the window. When we pass by Aaron's house I look at his bedroom window but the blinds are down. I sigh and not let it get to me. I was hoping for a last glimpse at his face but that wasn't going to happen. I sit back and slowly drift asleep, with Felix on my mind and soon I am in dream land, a light smile on my face.

Aaron's POV:

I'm at school and have been looking for Sarah everywhere. She had been acting weird yesterday and I have been on edge all night. I woke up in the morning with a feeling that something was wrong. I looked around again but didn't see her anywhere. Before I could do anything the final bell rang and I ran to my classroom. I got there right before the teacher entered so I was safe. I sighed but the feeling still didn't leave me.

*******

The classes dragged on and finally the bell for lunch rang. I ran out of the class and straight towards Sarah's locker. I waited there for a few minutes but when she didn't show up, I got angry. I stormed to the cafeteria and ran straight to our table. Damien and Rayden were sitting there but there was no sign of Sarah. I slammed my hands down and they both stared at me

"Have you guys seen Sarah?" I hissed. They both shook there heads and that is where I almost lost it. She hadn't answered her cell, it went to voicemail each time and she wasn't answering her texts. I told Damien and Rayden this and they started to get worried too. We decided to go straight to her house after school and confront her.

******

After the last bell rings, I run out and straight to my car. Damien and Rayden get there too and I slam on the gas pedal and whiz outta there. I go so fast that I barely stop when a red light flashes. When we finally reach Sarah's house, there is no car parked outside. I get out of my car and run to the front door. I knock on it a few times but no answer. My anger takes a hold of me and I break the door open. Inside I see that everything is bare. No pictures of Sarah and her family, the furniture is gone, the kitchen bare. I run upstairs and her room is bare, besides her empty bed. I think I know what happened. Sarah left. She left me and didn't even tell me. All I want to feel is pure rage but its not there. All I feel is a dull ache but its not as intense as I'd thought as it would be. My wolf is calm though a little bit sad. I don't know what to do. I sit down on her bed and let my head fall into my hands. What do I do now?
