25. Best Friend Ever

Unfortunately, I could not ask him anything after that because the juniors needed the class. We had to evacuate as soon as we could and they were standing at the edge of the door. I had no other option but to let it go for some other time. Damon seemed guilty the entire time we were walking out and for once I was not feeling any sympathy for that. Someone was trying to kill me because of him and that was a wake-up call for. How could he hide something like that from me? It was not something to take lightly.




Kay had to know that I was his mate. Whatever that meant. Not only that but now the motive to find out his family's killer was even stronger. If someone killed his family and pendant on him then they want to kill me and do the same again. Who was that obsessed with his ruin? The image of his uncle floated across my mind but I tried not to think about it too much. He was his blood after all and why would he do something like that? In spite of that, I was not letting go of the angle because something seemed not right. I should have asked Damon about Ryan when I had the opportunity.




Mr Smith clearly said something about the pack meeting and on that day I had no idea about these all creatures. But now it was clear that a pack meeting must be of these werewolves and if Ryan was attending then he must be one of them. At least if not one of them then he must know the truth about them. There was no way that Mr Smith would risk exposing himself to people he would not trust. I had to find a way to get inside the meeting.



I sat through the next two lessons before it was time for lunch. Thankfully none of those lectures was shared with Damon. I had no idea how I would react with him being in the same class after the way we left off the things. Besides he had to practice for the soccer match so he would be there till lunchtime. I was filled with red that I had to sit with him for the English lecture after lunch. We still had to work on the assignment and because of the fight last time the things were left as they were. Incomplete.




As soon as the bell rang I rose from my seat and sprinted towards the cafeteria. If there was one thing I was looking forward to was talking to Kay about everything and maybe find out what mate was. It's sounded something sexual and I was scared. Kay did not like geography so she had opted out and chosen art history instead of that. Lucky how she got in so easily. Her drawing skills were pretty amazing so it was no brainer that she easily got in. I always told her that she needed to sell her art and she always avoided talking about it.




I spotted Kay on our regular place with her lunch tray. As her mother was late in the morning and her housekeeper took a leave so she had no option but to pay for lunch. It was not something she enjoyed well neither did anyone but it was okay. I slumped on the chair in front of her, not caring at the way my chair loudly scraped against the floor. There was no way that I was able to eat something after what happened. My stomach felt heavy and all I needed were answers.




"Hi, where is your lunch?" Kay asked pulling the spoon out of her mouth and eyeing my empty side of the table. I shrugged.




"Not hungry"



She drawled, "Okay"



"You won't believe what I found out today" I huffed, leaning back against my chair.



"What?"



"You were right. He's a werewolf-"


Kay snorted in between before I could even end my sentence. So inpatient. At times I was so glad that she didn't drop me off from school because she would throw a proper fit noticing me taking my sweet time in the library.



"I thought you already knew that"



I made a sound in the back of my throat, "I did. Will you let me finish?"



She picked the sandwich and stiffed in her mouth, "Continue"



I rolled my eyes at her antics. That's something I should not have been surprised with and probably get used to it.




I looked around cautiously and leaned forward just in case someone caught the end of my conversation, "Damon is not scary, human-eating wolf. He's harmless"




With her mouth full she nodded her head, "I told you"




"Anyways he told me a bit about his family. Also that I was his mate which I am sure is as sexual as it sounds"



She spluttered, coughing suddenly and the crumbs of her sandwich landing on my arm and face. I glared at her and picked the tissue nearby to wipe off the spit filled crumbs. She sheepishly smiled, beating her chest to get her cough out. It had to be the most dramatic scene ever and knowing Kay it was least of them.




"You're his what?!" She exclaimed after swallowing the water from the bottle.



As I felt few eyes on me I just tightly smiled and glared at her, "Why don't you announce it to the entire school? I think the guy in the corner might have not heard you"




"Sorry" She wiped her mouth.



"Fine" I sighed



"When did he say that?"



"After I told him about the camping story he said he knew something. He told that I am his mate and someone is trying to kill me"



Her eyes widened and she gasped but before she could scream again I kicked her leg, "Quietly"



"Are you kidding me? Someone is trying to kill you and you are so calm? How? Why?" She blabbered, nudging my arm and that's the first time I realised how dangerous it sounded. It was not just some article I was writing for the magazine it was related to my life. I cannot mess this up in any way. The only way out was to find the real killer and get far away from him as possible.




My hands felt clammy as I touched my face and rubbed my eyes. There was wetness in my eyes but I refused to cry in front of the entire school.




"I'm scared, Kay. I truly am but I don't know how is that going to help me"




Kay cleared her throat, clutching my hand in between hers, "We need to talk to someone Anya. This has already gone too far and your life is at risk. We cannot ignore this now."




I pulled my hand away abruptly and shook my head, "That's the thing, Kay. We cannot involve anyone because that would only risk their life. I don't even know why I am telling you this you are already too far in this. You need to step back I will just figure something out on my own."




She slapped my arm harshly to which I flinched and moved away, "Why did you do that for?"



"You are crazy you think that I am going to let you do everything on your own. You are my best friend Anya we are in this together again"




I felt touched at that. Kay truly was the best friend I could ever ask for.




"Kay please you don't have to-"



She slapped my arm and stood up with a determine the look on her face, "Shut up. Now let's go to the library and find out what this entire mate thing is about"

As it was the lunchtime the library was vacant and I had plenty of time to do my research. Mrs Pierce was not there which made me slump a bit. The last time I had seen her she knew about the existence of werewolves and I laughed on her face. She was one who could have helped me but there was no sign of her anywhere in the library which was very unusual. But then again it was lunchtime so I did not give it much thought.




"Anya" Kay furiously yelled at me as she pulled the book from the corner. There was no light in the library so I had no other option than to search it in the old books.



"Here I found it" Kay pointed at the paragraph and I stared at it without blinking. How was that possible?


Mates are like soulmates. Each werewolf has a mate. The mates are their destined soulmates and they were chosen by the moon goddess



Kay who was sitting on the table pushed at my arm to gain attention when I blinked my eyes rapidly. I reread the entire thing again.




"I am werewolves mate. Damon is my soulmate?" I questioned to no one in particular. Just when I thought everything would be okay and I would get out of the mess.
