Moonlight Sun 2

Never Make A Promise

As I drove Sorrell home, I couldn't help but notice Sorrell was quieter than usual. I peaked over at her staring absent-mindedly out of the window. I knew something was wrong, and I was almost afraid to ask.

"Maybe we should double date with Alana and Randy more often, maybe we'll rub off."

She didn't respond.

"Hello? Earth to Sorrell." I chuckled. "Am I talking to myself."

"Huh?" She looked at me. "Did you say something, Kenyon?"

I laughed and put my hand on top of hers. "What's on your mind sweetheart?"

She shook he head. "Nothing." She flashed a stiff smile and looked back out of the window.

I sighed. "This again?"

"What?" She looked at me.

"Sorrell, why do you do that? I know there is something on your mind. Just tell me." I said. "Did Alana say something to you?"

She sighed.

"Sorrell, don't let her get to you. Even her own pack find her annoying and vandictive." I assured her.

"Who's Leona?" She asked out of the blue.

My eyes widened. I didn't understand what Alana was trying to accomplish telling Sorrell about Leona, but I knew it couldn't be good. Just be completely honest. I told myself.

I took a breath. "She's Alana's little sister. My Aunt Talya tried to get us together. We dated the summer I moved to Satordi's ranch."

"And?"

I wanted to leave it there. I felt like I should have. I bit my lip. "Well, the thing is, I might not have formally broken up with her."

"What?"

Now I'm in for it. I thought.

"What do you mean 'formally' broken up?" She snapped

I sighed again nervously. "Well, I just got so busy with home school, then meeting you as a wolf, and then public school, I kind of just stopped calling."

She gave me the most terrible look of betrayal, sadness, and anger all wrapped into one.

"I'm sorry Sorrell, I should have told you. I just didn't think it mattered."

Her nostrils flared. "What do you mean it didn't matter? Technically you two are still a couple. Alana says that you were supposed to be mates. Did you give her a ring too?"

"No, no, of course not!" I took her hand with the ruby ring I had gotten her when I had asked her to be my mate. "Sorrell, it was nothing like that! You have to believe me!"

I then pulled over on the side of the road, not trying to let the argument cause us to get in an accident.

She again turned away, from the way she was breathing I could tell she was sobbing. Now I was feeling worse.

"Sorrell." I said softly. "If you want me to, we will go over there tomorrow, and I will strengthen this out, I promise."

"It's not that. Kenyon."

I caressed her face and gently turned it back in my direction and wiped her tears. "Then what is this all about Sorrell?"

She brushed her nose with the back of her hand."What if you got tired of me?"

I searched her eyes. "Sorrell, I made a promise to you."

"The same promise you made to Leona?"

I shook my head. "No. Leona and I were a thing my aunt and Chef Refe were trying to arrange, like Randy and Alana. You are who I chose, for me."
