Chapter-11

The sun beams through the curtains hitting me in the face. I groan and turn the opposite side trying to go back to sleep. Just as I slip into slumber the alarm rings jolting me awake. I curse and finally wake up stretching myself. The pounding in my head hasn't stopped. I quickly go through my drawer and take Advil and gulp a glass of water. God, was I thirsty. The flashbacks of yesterday and how his lips brushed my skin still give me goosebumps. My hands move on their own accord rubbing the skin his lips have touched the memory of last night still fresh.

Flashback

After he left, Claire, Bel and Cat barged into the room finding me in the balcony. I don't understand what they're saying, it's all a blur like background music.

He was my mate right? So he was real. I want to pinch myself. It all felt like a dream.

"Zea!!" Bel puts her hands on my shoulders and shakes me , "Do you realise how scared we were? What even were you doing here?" She asked anger evident in her eyes.

"Let her go. She always comes here. She just lost track of time" Claire pipes in and I mentally thank her.

"Is there anything bothering you Zea" Claire asked and I knew I couldn't hide it . She could see right through me. Hell she knows there was a werewolf in here by his smell and the look on her face proves that.

I sigh and go inside sitting on the edge of the bed and recite everything that just happened. All three of them looking at me with big eyes and gasping and smiling in between. After I finish my rant they come and hug me pushing me down on the bed with them on top.

"How are we gonna find him though?" Cat questions and Claire smirks

"He will come to her on his own" she says.

Before Cat can ask any more she shushes her and we leave.

End of flashback

After sulking and dreaming about my mate in my room the whole day I pull on a over-sized tshirt and put on my black tights, tying my shoelace on I decide to go for a walk. I plug in my earphones and walk through the beautiful evening. The green trees, the sweet fresh air and the beautiful purple sky making me feel better.

After strolling around for a bit I go inside a cafe and order myself a coffee. Sitting there, listening songs and writing my heart out in the small book I carry everywhere I feel content. I smile and make my way out making my way back.

Just as I reach home my phone rings. I pulled out my phone, it was an unknown number. I still picked up,

"Zea, please come get me"  I hear Claire cry and my eyes widen.

"Claire where are you?! Claire!?" The beep of the phone signals she had hanged up.

Where could she be? Was she in danger. Is this a prank? Million questions run through my mind and the only possible answer

Woods.

Claire always went in the woods around this time. She said she loved it there. She roamed around and sometimes hunted a few small rabbits.

Without thinking twice I run in the direction of the woods. My eyebrows creased and breathing heavy hoping to see Claire safe.

I reach the entrance of the woods and I stop. I don't know anything about the woods. Flashbacks of the dreams I had cloud my vision and I shake my head and concentrate on the matter at hand. Should I text Bel and Cat? I contemplate and decide that's it better to text them. I'm not a hero , that's how the stupid girls in movie die when they try to act smart when they have nothing covered. I decide I'm better than that (a scared kitten too) so I text them about the same.
