New Blood

Wrong

ALEX

                Something was wrong with me.

                Normally, I enjoyed my time with Snow, in which I could let go and be myself with someone who understands me.

                But the whole time, all I could think about was Blue.

                I wanted Blue to be there, by my side. I didn’t want her for her blood, or heaven forbid- sex; no, I wanted her for her personality and for who she is as a person.

                The fact that she wore a tail, which reeked of wolf, and that she was friends with Jake and his pack, hurt. I couldn’t stand the thought of her with another male, but I knew it was in her best interests to be with him, no matter how much it hurt me or how much I wanted it to be me in his place.

                Giving her the cold shoulder earlier was probably the hardest thing I’d ever done. I don’t think I could keep up the pretense of indifference for much longer.

                She had looked so pained when she turned away, so angered, that I wanted to reach out to her, tell her the truth, and make things better between us.

                I don’t know how much longer I can keep my secret from her.

                I glanced up at the ceiling, where I knew Snow was in my room directly above me. I still thought of her as a friend, but she wasn’t anything more. At one point, I think I even had feelings for her, but not anymore.

                Not since Blue.
