Deep Secrets by Selena (ebook reader online txt) 📕

lost my mind? "Um, I meant to the cabin, where the bed is. And- shit." I forced myself to stop babbling."

Kyle stood up from the ground. "Do I make you nervous, Melissa?"
I stopped, glaring at him. "Excuse me, I know seventeen painful ways to kill you. You don't make me nervous."
"Ok." Kyle came to me and held my hand. I ignored the flare of heat in my chest and how good to feel his touch. "I'm sorry if I upset you."

"Ok. Just show me where you found me."
"I thought you were going back to the cabin?"
"I changed my mind. Now show me."
"You standing on it. This is where I found you."

I let go of Kyle's hand and got to my knees as I studied the ground. I can see dried blood. I sniff for the scent, but it was my own. I got some dirt to smell anything else. I could smell Kyle's scent. I dropped the dirt and picked up some more to smell. I caught this scent that I didn't recognize, but I can tell it is a werewolf. I was so frustrated that I didn't know who was my attacker. I closed my eyes to try to concentrate to see what I was doing last night.

(Yesterday Night)

I stood in front of the mirror, looking at myself. I can't believe I'm getting married. I should be excited, but I wasn't. I'm just doing this for the pack. I can finally become an alpha. Also, Dad would be so proud of me.

When Dad came in the room, he smiled.
"Melissa, you look so beautiful. You look just like your Mom. She would be so proud of you right now." he said
"Thanks Dad." I said
"Soon you will be able to takeover the pack. You and Antonio are meant to be together."

I look away from Dad and sat down on the bed.
"May you not say that." Dad sat down next to me.
"Why not? I thought you and Antonio got along with each other."
"Antonio is a jerk."
"I know Melissa, but..."
"I know. I know. It is my destiny to marry him."
"Good sweet heart. Don't worry. Someday, you and Antonio will get along. It took a while for me and your Mom to get along, We barely liked each other, but the more we stayed together, the more we fell in love. Then, we had you. You was the best thing that ever happened to us. You don't want to disappoint your Mom by not getting married. Do you?"
I flinched. I hate when he do this. "No. I don't."
"Good. Your Mom risked everything to keep you safe. Don't ruin our reputation." Dad sounded serious.
"Ok."
"That's my little girl. Now, come out in 10 minutes."
"Yes Dad." When Dad left out the room, I look back in the mirror. Ever since Mom died from a attack by our enemies when I was 6 years old, he have been telling me to not disappoint Mom, or don't ruin our reputation. Him saying those things only made me stronger. Dad and others from the wolf tribe, expect me to be just like Mom. When they tell me, it only get me mad.

'sigh' But I'm not going to disappoint Dad. I got off the bed and left out the room. The maid told me the directions to get to the wedding in the woods. As I was walking through the woods, I heard some footsteps behind me. I stopped and looked around, but I didn't see nobody. I sniffed the air for somebody scent, but I didn't smell nothing. When I was about to turn around, someone attacked me. All I could see is darkness.

Melissa

I tried to remember more, but all it did was give me a headache. I opened my eyes and stood. I turned around and I see Kyle staring at me.

"We should be leaving. It is getting late." I said.
"Did you remember anything?" he asked
"No, I didn't remember a damn thing. I never got to see my attacker's face." I was so pissed. I held back the tears that was about to come. "Never mind. Lets just leave."
Kyle was about to say something but said "Sure." I followed Kyle to the cabin and we walked in silence. Why does my life always have to be so difficult? When we made it to the cabin, Kyle unlocked the door. I went inside and went into the bedroom. I grabbed my dress and sniffed it. I caught the same scent that I smelled in the woods, but I still didn't recognize it. 'sigh'. I sat on the bed and frowned. Kyle sat down next to me.

"The one thing that pisses me off is, I didn't defend myself. I should have know someone was following me. I should have fought back."
"Melissa..." He stopped himself.
I look at him. "What?"
"Nothing." he looked back at me.
"Oh. Well, I want to thank you for helping me out. Even if you think I am crazy."
Kyle smiled. "No problem." We sat there in silence. "Are you hungry? You didn't eat all day."
"I guess so."
"What do you usually eat?"
"Deer, rabbits, etc."
"Whoa. Maybe I shouldn't asked that."
"You think." I look away and look around in the room.
"What about pizza?" I look away and look around in the room.
"What is pizza? Never mind, I'll try it."
"Oh.. Kay. I'll call Papa Johns and order some."
"Is he your father?" I asked
"What? No, the pizza place is called Papa Johns."
"Oh." I followed Kyle to the living room as he picked up a phone. While he was on the phone, I went to his book shelf to look at some pics. I picked up a book and sat down. On the cover, it said 'Yearbook'. I flipped through the pages, until I stopped. The page was called 'Football Team', and there was Kyle. Kyle sat right next to me.

"The pizza should be here in a few minutes." he said. All I did was nod my head and pointed to the picture of him.
"That's you." I said as I smooth my hair out my face.
"Yeah."
"You look so happy. Why are you here alone, by yourself?" I looked at him.
"Technically, I'm not alone because you're here."
"I'm serious."
"Fine. I made my choice to come here. I wanted to be alone."
"What about your... family?"
"My sister visits me every few days."
"Was she the one who came here earlier?"
"Yes."
"What about your parents?"
"They understand I need some time away."
I look back at the yearbook and flip through some more pages. I stopped on the page of Kyle with a girl.

"Is that your sister?" Kyle start laughing
"You have got to be kidding."
"What? Why are you laughing?"
"She is not my sister." He finally stop laughing.
I frowned. "Then, who is she?"
"She's my ex- girlfriend." I look at the girl in the picture. She is pretty. She has black silky hair and brown eyes. She also has a nice facial structure.
"You mean, Brittany."

Kyle nodded. I look at him and he is still looking at the picture. He looked so sad. When I shut the door, he looks at me while I stare into his eyes. I can see hurt and sadness. I felt bad for him. I look away from him. I can't be feeling this way.

"The pizza is here." I said as I stood up.
"I didn't.." he said before someone knocked on the door.
"Told you."
"How did you.. Oh yeah. Super hearing."
I ignored the comment and opened the door. There was a guy standing there with a box. From his scent, I can tell he is a human.

"I'm sorry, but you have the wrong place. We ordered pizza." The guy didn't say nothing. All he did was stand there, looking like he saw an angel. "Um, Kyle. I think this guy is deaf."
"What you mean deaf?" Kyle came to the door.
"Can you tell him that he got the wrong place? We ordered pizza, not a box."
Kyle rose an eyebrow and smiled. "Melissa, that is the pizza."
I was confused. "We have to eat the box?"
"No, the pizza is inside the box."
"Oh." I took the pizza box away from the guy and was about to shut the door, but Kyle stopped me.
"We have to pay him."
"OK."
"You can put the pizza in a kitchen. I'm going to talk to him."
I nodded. As Kyle was closing the door, the guy tried to look at me. I shook my head and went to the kitchen. The pizza guy is so weird.

Kyle

As I shut the door, Ryan (pizza guy) tried to get another glance at Melissa. Ryan is my best friend since middle school. He was the one to suggest that I should spend some time away from everyone to calm down from the break up.

"Ryan. Pay attention" I said. I snapped my fingers in his face.
"Whoa. You break up with Brittany to be with this hot chick. I am so proud of you. Dude, you growing up so fast." Ryan said, being sarcastic.
"Shut up." I smiled
"Is she your new girlfriend?"
"No."
"I don;t know why. She is so hot. Thinking about her is getting me hot."
"Don't talk about her like that."'
"Ok. So who is she?"
"She is a friend from out of town." At least, I didn't lie to him. Melissa was out of town, until her attacker brought her here.
"How long is she staying?"
"I don't know."
"I wonder if she is going to let me take her out on a date?"
"I have to get back inside. She's waiting." I said as I ignored the question.
"Sure." Ryan was about to leave, but turned back around. "Why haven't you been answering your cell phone. I have been calling you all day."
"Its broke. I have to buy a new one.""
"Oh. What's the girl name?"
"Melissa."
"Nice name. Can you tell her about me?"
I smiled. Yes."
"Thanks. See you around." I watched as Ryan got in the
