Cassandra's POV

I needed water.I was thirsty as hell all of a sudden. I escaped the two women who kept apologising to me and went straight to the kitchen.

I had just poured myself a glass when I felt someone grab my ass, I would attack, but I smelt Ethan's cologne. This guy needed to visit the doctor. He was too horny.And I mean all the damn time.

"Ethan, were in someone's house.I don't want Xander's parents walking in on us."I said.

Lately I hadn't really felt anything for Ethan.Before all this shit came into my life I felt like he was my rock.He was the only normal thing I had in life. But what's the point of wanting to be normal yet I wasn't close to normal. At least here I didn't have to worry how loud my footsteps were when I was going out of the house to go to school. Maybe I wanted us to be caught.At least it would make me feel like a normal teenager for once.

The only times I had been caught doing something supposedly wrong was when I was found packing lunch, it was half a sandwich that I had brought from the cafe I worked in. And I paid the price for it, costed me a week of school since I had to nurse my fractured rib. No one really knew what was happening behind closed doors. I didn't even know my immediate relatives.

By the time I got back to my senses Ethan had placed me on the kitchen Island and was kissing me. Well that escalated fast. I wasn't even sure if I liked Ethan . I was about to stop the kiss,tell him that what I felt for him was mostly friendly. I didn't need a boyfriend, but a growl bet me to it. We broke apart as a slight redness took over my face. I expected to see Atticus or Amelia.

But instead  Xander stood there in his full glory.A confused look on his face.

"Oh, Xander, I didn't hear you come in."I heard Ethan say.

The confusion quickly turned to hurt, he tried covering it up, but once you've gone through the feeling as much as I have, you master the look. His face still had the hurt on it, it was pretty clear. That was he even doing here. He was quite a good actor, trying to put a straight face.But it was all in the eyes. He looked tormented.

I glanced at Ethan's face. He looked absolutely normal, like he had been found washing dishes or something completely normal.

"Sorry, I just needed a glass of water."he said walking toward the fridge.

He saw the glass of water I had poured for myself and he just grabbed it from the counter. He walked out of the kitchen as a sigh escaped his mouth. Why was he so hurt. Probably something Alika said before he came here. those two were quite a couple.

I wonder where Amare went though. 

"You want to proceed where we left it off or should we  get a room"Ethan asked.

"About that Ethan, I don't think I can continue with whatever this is. You are a werewolf and that means you have a mate, I don't really want it to get serious then I get attached and your mate walks into our lives. I think from what I have gone through the past years of my life I need to breathe. I just need to wake up with no burden on my shoulder. To feel like I have to be somewhere pleasing someone. I need to focus on myself for a while."I said, a little breathless from all that I had uttered.

Ethan looked shocked, a little ashamed maybe. Why is it that everyone I've talked to today seemed to have an emotion I can't comprehend. But at least for once I wasn't being misunderstood or being blamed for something I hadn't done.

"Sorry, I hadn't thought of it that way.I'll keep my distance, hope we can still be friends though"Ethan said.

I nodded my  head very pleased that he had understood me.
