Harriette POV

It's now again Monday. I'm in class with Shelby teaching English. My mind was elsewhere though. Ryker and the boys have been really good to me and saying it will be ok. I've had really bad anxiety about Damien finding out so that's one thing.

Dustin had started coming to school with me so he would be able to protect me to. Him and the boys get on but Damien doesn't like it. Toby is very much like Damien, wary of me. I think he has caught on but I'm not sure.

"Harriette, what is a synonym for knife?" Shelby got my attention. We started on the book Macbeth so we have to do this.

"Dagger?" I shrugged.

"It'll do." She rolled her eyes and went on with the lesson.

I felt Damien put his hand on my thigh so I placed mine on top of his. "You alright? You seem so spaced out all the time." He looked at me with worry.

"Nothing. Just feelings you know." I sighed.

"You have nothing to be feeling. I'll keep you safe and loved no matter what. I can promise you that." He moved his hand to lace our fingers together.

"I know. But that's not why I'm worried." I smiled a little.

"What is it?" Damien furrowed his eyebrows.

"Nothing that you should worry about." I said then kissed his hand.

Damien smirked then pulled me on to his lap. I felt safe and content whenever we are together like this. We know a lot about each other and I couldn't ask for a better mate. But there's still the fact that I'm the hybrid he wants to kill.

It was now lunch so we were all sat in Shelby's classroom. He had gone back to the cottage for her blood bag so Derek didn't have to come here. I didn't mind not having Shelby with me though because I know for a fact I have Dustin and Ryker with me.

I was sat on Damien's lap with my head laid on his shoulder. All of them were talking to each other while I was in my own little world. It was all I could think about, what would Damien do if he found out? Would he accept me or would he kill me?

All these scenarios filled my head and I don't know what one to go for. Is it the one where he won't kill me and accept me for me. Or do I go for the one where I die? Like I said, there's a lot going on. Especially in my head.

"Harri am I seeing Lexi today?" Dustin asked me out loud.

"No, Dustin." I rolled my eyes.

"What? Why not?" He pouted.

"Because I've got a lot on my mind at the moment. So please Dustin, no more questions." I sighed.

"Is it that time of the month?" He asked.

"Fuck you Dustin. Why are you here anyway?" I snapped.

"Because your dad needs me here. Don't forget about why I always come. Don't fucking snap at me because you don't want me here." He rolled his eyes.

"I didn't say I didn't want you here, did I? I get you've known me since I've been born but that doesn't mean you get to demand when you see Lexi. It's annoying." I frowned.

"I know it is. That's why I go it." Dustin smirked and winked at me.

Damien growled and I immediately put my hand on his chest. He calmed down but I could still feel how tense he was from it. Dustin is my best friend but he's a dick.

Dustin only hissed back letting his fangs come out. I flashed my eyes blue to red at him, warning Dustin not to go there. Damien is my mate and I will make sure none of the people I love will get hurt.

Dustin retracted his fangs and slumped in his chair. He glared at Damien but stayed quiet. After that we were all silent not saying anything. I could see Ryker, Jeremy and Tom trying to not laugh obviously seeing my warning at Dustin.

"We should all do something this weekend." Toby broke the silence.

"Like what?" I asked him.

"Swimming. We can all go down to the lake that's in our territory." He suggested.

"Sounds good. What time should we meet?"

"What about four. That way it's not to hot and the sun isn't on us. Especially dustin." He shrugged.

"I'm down. The time is good as well so I won't get burnt that much either." Dustin stated.

All the boys started talking again about the plans for the weekend. I was still cuddled up to Damien, but then moved so I could be closer. His arms then wrapped around my small body and pulled me closer to his chest.

"You ok?" Damien whispered to me.

"Hmm, hmm." I hummed. "I just like being close to you."

"So do I. But why are you being like this all of a sudden?" He chuckled nervously.

"Just getting all of it while I can. Soon enough I'll be older than you and it'd look weird. Just getting it all before we go out separate ways." I sighed.

"It doesn't matter. I'll stay with you until your old and wrinkly. And even then I'll still love you. Nothing will change that so stop worrying about me leaving. I'm not going anywhere." He smiled at me.

It wasn't just a smile though. It held so much love it made my heart race. Damien chuckled then leaned down and connected our lips. I kissed back and savoured his touch as much as I could. I may not be our last kiss, but who knows when that will be.
