Giovanni leaned down, and I pressed myself against him as our lips clashed together. His lips were hot against my own, something I hadn’t expected. My hands tangled in his curly hair, marveling at how soft it felt. While I was tall for a girl, I was small against his huge frame. His hands grasped my hips tightly, as though he were making sure I had been real.
Our lips moved against each other’s effortlessly, the emotions we suppressed guiding us. His touch sent a fire crawling across my skin, begging to be relieved.
“This has been a mistake.” Giovanni grunted, tearing himself from me. I could see the toll it had taken on him. A sharp pang of pain radiated through out my chest.
“We’re mates for a reason.” I was grasping at straws, pleading for some way to make this work.
“There is no reason.” Giovanni’s eyes hardened as he took a few steps away from me. “Neither of us will ever change sides.”
“We can still meet here.” The words left my lips before I could even process them.
“How, little she-wolf?” Giovanni hissed, his eyes darkening. “Would we ignore our own kind? Pretend there is not a war brewing?”
It was stupid, so stupid. And yet I couldn’t stop myself.
“That’s exactly what we do.” I clamped my lips together as the words came out. “IWe don’t have to talk about what’s going on when were here. It can be somewhere safe for the two of us.”
‘Until I’m able to sway your loyalty.’ The words I had almost spoke lingered in my head. I had no choice,
I had to sway his loyalty. The only other option was impossible to think of.
Giovanni looked unconvinced.
“The odds of this ending badly are high, little she-wolf.” Giovanni frowned, nearly making me wince.
“I know.” I admitted, and yet I couldn’t help but hope.

I had returned to the house a couple nights later, after Daisy had been moved into the packhouse.
I had spent days resisting the urge to drive off, running to my Aunt’s house in hopes Giovanni would be there. Some nights I would lie awake, remembering the feel of his lips against my own.
I couldn’t bring myself to ask my Mom about Vampire mates. Her face would contort in confusion as she asked why I wanted the information. I already knew what she would say. She would claim we had no more texts on Vampires.
She had no idea I knew about her secret stash. Information so old she kept it under tight lock and key.
Only her and my Dad had the privilege of seeing this information.
I wanted to sneak off and find a way to access the information, but I couldn’t. I wasn’t sure I wanted to read what it said. Would it doom us? We were already doomed according to Giovanni. Could it save us? I wasn’t sure anything could.
?
I had finally given in the night Daisy moved into the packhouse. I had taken Mason home and went home myself. Tonight, was another night I was still in my bed. Sleep refused to claim me, instead placing images of Giovanni in my mind.
My soul had found its other half and being away from him was nearing painful.
When the frustration had become too much, I leaped from the bed. My Mom was already asleep, her soft snores floating down the hall. I couldn’t even bring myself to change, leaving the house in my pajama’s.
I sped down the road, disregarding the speed limit signs. My soul and wolf knew where I was headed, the two of them wanted to get there quickly.
Unknowingly, I reached out with my heart. I was searching for Giovanni, silently pleading as I hoped he would come to the house.
The windows were dark as I pulled into the driveway for the second time. I found myself sitting in my Aunt’s armchair, sleep refusing to claim me. I felt wired and awake, sleep the farthest thought from my mind.
When Giovanni silently stepped through the door an hour later, I launched myself at him.
His body stiffened as I slammed into his chest, but the anticipation had been building for too long. I knew this was wrong, deep down I knew it. My mind and body were at war with each other, claiming they both knew what was best.
I would never betray Daisy or my pack, but surely, I deserved these few moments of peace. These were all I had until the inevitable happened. Either Giovanni chose me, or he chose his kind.
*Little she-wolf.” Giovanni cleared his throat, taking a step back from me. “I felt you reaching out to me.”
“I didn’t know what I was doing.” I frowned, “I just-I had to come here.”
I was at a loss for words, but it seemed Giovanni was in the same situation.
“I have been feeling things-for you.” Giovanni cleared his throat again, his eyes flashing with reluctance. “It has been difficult staying away from this house.”
“I know.” I breathed, my eyes roaming every inch of him. “It’s been hard for me too. I couldn’t stay away any longer.”
Giovanni’s lips parted to say something but closed shortly after. I took his hesitation and tossed it to the side. I knew what I wanted, and right now I wanted to pretend.
I wanted to pretend he wasn’t a vampire, and I wasn’t a werewolf. We were just two normal people who happened to share a connection. I wanted just a moment of this before reality crashed down, guilt following.
I threw my arms over his shoulders and pressed myself against him. He was too tall for me to reach his lips, so I freckled light kisses across his jaw. His body tensed under my touch, but he made no move to distance himself.
I knew I had won when his arms snak*d around my waist, pulling myself tighter against him. His head bent down, his lips meeting my own. I could feel the emotion he held back, the hunger that hid behind his eyes.
Somewhere in the back of my mind, my logical side was screaming. I was kissing a Vampire in the middle of nowhere. He could murder me and leave my body to rot. It could be quite some time until my Mom thought to look here.
Much too soon, Giovanni pulled himself from me. He looked as though important.
wanted to say something, something
“Little she-wolf.” Giovanni’s lips were parted, practically begging for another taste. “This cannot continue-things. have been set into motion. You will not be able to tolerate my involvement.”
My stomach sank at his words, and fear coursed through my veins. The way he was speaking made it sound as though the Vampires had plans, plans they were involving Giovanni in.
“What’s happening, Giovanni?” I frowned; his name tasted sweet on my lips. Something in his eyes flashed as I said his name, the bond between us growing stronger.
“I will not betray my people.” Giovanni’s eyes hardened painfully, “I just wished to inform you.”
*You can see what they’re doing is wrong, right? “I frowned, my eyes wide and pleading. “The Vampire’s want to end all werewolf life. Werewolves don’t want all Vampire’s dead. We were happy living in peace.”
“You say that s though I am not one of them.” Giovanni’s voice was cold, detached. “I cannot change what I am, nor can you.”
The backs of my eyes burned, desperately wanting to let the tears run free. I refused to give into the agony, determined to keep myself together in front of this man. If he could throw a mask on his face and ignore his emotions, so could I.
Giovanni turned towards the front door, stepping out onto the porch. His eyes were dark as he turned and looked at me.
