*Celina’s POV*

 Every night for the past few days I’ve been having the same dream. A pair of golden eyes boring into me as if searing my soul on fire, constantly whispering ‘I will find you’. It’s creepy and frankly, does scare me. My wolf and lycan won’t tell me much on the dream, and I can’t shake the feeling I’m being watched as well. Victor stopped by a couple of times to see how I was doing, but wouldn’t stay long and would quickly leave, not even sparing much of a glance my way.

 How is he supposed to be making it up to me if he keeps disappearing? I huffed as I sat on the swing on our porch, staring off into the sunset. I should be going back to school tomorrow, and I wonder if he’ll keep ignoring me. “Lina Ballerina” I heard my name as I turned, watching Amelia crossing the street and heading my way.

 “Melly Melons” I replied as a habit, smiling at finally having some company. She shooed me to move, allowing her to sit next to me. Apparently Victor gave her the gist of my condition…I don’t really know what else to call it at this point. I’m just glad I don’t have to hide this from her, even though she did hid her whole mate issue from me.

 “So…” she started. I nodded absentmindedly. “So…” I responded back. “I’m thinking of talking to Tommy” I turned my attention to her, raising an eyebrow in amusement. I didn’t betray his trust, and never told Victor or Amelia that he visited me with an interesting proposition. “And….?” I questioned. I saw her cheeks flush slightly as she fidgeted with her fingers. “And since he never accepted my rejection, our bond is still there…so…” I rolled my eyes in annoyance at her hesitance.

 “So you’re going to finally take it back?” I finished for her. She nodded slowly before sighing. “The problem is my father thinks I should pressure him into accepting it. He doesn’t understand why he’s so unique to your…situation. But he rather not take any risks in having more humans changing and alerting hunters about it” I pursed my lips at that thought. If only they knew of that tattoo…why couldn’t he trust them with it? It would probably solve a lot of problems.

 “What do you want Mel?” I finally asked her. She sighed, twirling a strand of her hair between her fingers. “I really want to be with him Lina…I can’t stop thinking about him. I can’t just deny this bond” I smiled as I gave her a reassuring hug. “Then go talk to him. He might still be a little…iffy…but I’m sure he feels the bond as well” I tell her. ‘Probably more than her’ Calypso comments in my mind. I’m not sure how true that is since he has that tattoo blocking his lycan side.

 Still, he only mentioned having a lycan, but not a wolf. Yet I’m the unique one with both, and the only other person that had this was the one that killed the original lycan, William himself. At the thought of William my lycan growls slightly, and I feel a shiver run down my spine. “You okay?” Amelia asks worried. “Yeah…just a strange chill. I’m fine” I told her. Maybe having two wolves in my head was making me lose my marbles.

 “Well that’s my cue” Amelia suddenly said as she stood up. I looked at her confused before watching her walk away, Victor coming our way. She gave me a wave with a sassy smile on her face and I couldn’t help but roll my eyes at her. Mel patted Vic’s shoulder before leaving and he stood awkwardly in front of me.

  “Hey…” he finally spoke. I couldn’t help but chuckle at how much tension was between us. “Want to sit?” I offered, patting the cushion next to me on the swing. He sat down, resting his elbows on his thighs as he looked out. “So…” he started. “Oh for f***s sake not you too” I snapped annoyed. He turned his attention to me surprised. “Mel just said the same thing as she sat down…you two are impossible some days” I ranted. Victor snorted, holding in a laugh as the tension eased up between us.

 “Should probably label it the twins’ effect” Vic said amused. I laughed slightly, punching his arm softly. “How have you been feeling?” he finally asked. I shrugged, crossing my legs Indian style as I played with the hem of my shorts. “I’ve been okay…just bored being here under house arrest” I complained.

 “I get it…you’re too hyper active for your own good” Victor joked. I glared at him, giving him the finger for that comment. “Well its true…I haven’t seen you calm at all” he continued. “You are so not winning any points in this conversation mister” I responded, crossing my arms. He lifted his hands up in defeat, a smile still on his lips.

 “Listen Lina…things are getting complicated…and we don’t know who to trust alright?” Victor spoke, suddenly getting serious. I perked up, giving him my full attention. “What do you mean?” I asked worried. “You would tell us if someone bothers you or visits you right?” Why of all the…

 I got off the swing, narrowing my eyes at him. “What is this about Victor” I said, enunciating his full name. Victor stood up, placing his hands on my shoulders. “Lina…I just want you to be safe” he tried to explain. “Safe from whom?” I spat out. He sighed, rubbing his chin as he let go of my shoulders. “I know Tommy came by to see you” he admitted. “You what!” I screeched. Suddenly it dawned on me…the feeling of eyes on me.

 “You did not have people spying on me Victor Silverlight” I demanded. I saw him swallow nervously. I couldn’t believe this jackass! “What the hell were you thinking invading my privacy like that!” I shouted at him. “Lina calm down” he tried to appease. “No I will not! How could you?” I asked hurt.

 “To protect you Lina” he said annoyed. “Protect me…or the pack from me?” I spat out with venom. “What are you implying?” he asked angrily. “That this pack wants to keep me hidden and under control…that in reality you guys are…disgusted by what I am!” I blinked a few times, pushing the tears back. “No that’s not true at all” Victor snapped, grabbing my shoulders again.

 “Then if I were born lycan, and we were mates…would you still reject me? Or if I were born wolf, would you reject me?” I pushed his arms off me, taking a step away from him. “You rejected me to protect me…from becoming this. Are you that ashamed of having been fated to me?” I asked painfully. Victor growled, grabbing me once again tightly.

 “You being a hybrid or whatever the f**k you are will never change my feelings. You can be a wolf, lycan or a damn unicorn and I would still choose you…always you” he said sternly. I blinked a few times, raising an eyebrow. “Really…a unicorn?” I questioned. He groaned, rolling his eyes. “Everything I said and you’re fixated on unicorn? Are you serious?” Victor questioned me. I shrugged. “I mean unicorns are badass…with that horn on their foreheads poking people all day long” I commented nonchalantly.

 “Lina…” he started. “What?” I looked at him confused. “Shut up” he grumbled before pressing his lips against my own. At first it was demanding, almost needy, but it slowly became slower and more sensual. His hands snaked to my face, keeping me in place as he deepened the kiss. My hands moved over his wrists, holding tightly as I enjoyed the tingly sensation coursing through my body. I could hear Calypso purring in contentment, but the lycan was quiet…maybe too quiet for my liking.

 We slowly broke the kiss, our foreheads resting against each other. “For the record…I wasn’t following or watching you” Victor spoke. I slowly opened my eyes, staring into his own. “I was following Tommy and they informed me he came here” I pulled my head back confused. “Why were you following him?” I asked. “Because I have a feeling he’s hiding something relating to his rejection with Mel. He smells human, but they saw him jump off the tree house like it was nothing” s**t…he’s going to out himself at this rate.

 “You do know the tree house isn’t that far from the floor and we all would jump down like that?” I spoke, trying to divert his attention. “Maybe…but we’re watching to make sure he’s being honest. I’m sorry if my actions made it seem like you were being a prisoner…I would never do anything to hurt you” he spoked.

 “Except reject me” I deadpanned. He sighed in defeat, hanging his head low. “I regret it every day of my life…way to add salt to open wounds” he replied sadly. I laughed slightly, his head lifting at my laugh. “Well that’s just the beginning…you have a lot of making up to do” He nodded, pecking my lips again.

 “And what makes you think you can just kiss me whenever you want?” I added, egging him on even more. “Wait…you don’t want to?” he asked surprised and a little sad. “Are we dating? Are we in a relationship? Did we accept the bond?” I questioned, poking his chest. “You can’t just come here whenever you want and expect me to put out on those luscious lips of yours” He smirked and my cheeks flushed. Did I just say that out loud?

 “You like my lips huh” he teased, leaning closer. I took a step back but he grabbed my hips and pulled me closer to him. “What do you want?” he questioned, his breath fanning against my lips. My brain muddled at that moment. All I wanted was to taste those lips again. “Something official” I stammered. “Well you did say you were going to make me work hard” he continued with the teasing. I narrowed my eyes and bit his lip, surprising him with a small yelp. He rubbed is lip and I smirked, crossing my arms in victory.

 “Yep you’re going to have to work harder than that…but only if we are something and not just friends with benefits. I refuse to go down that route” I told him confidently. “You will never be a friend with benefits to me or any other guy got it” he warned me. “Oh…not even Tommy?” I teased. His eyes flashed angrily as he growled, pinning me against the door. “Not even him” he growled. “You are mine” he snapped before hungrily kissing me again. Talk about being possessive…I kind of like it to be honest.
