bed, and then I felt a slump go down next to me in the bed, so I knew he was in it.
“Babe, I was just playing with you. Please don’t be mad at me”. He said pulling me into his body. I turned my body around, so I was facing him and started laughing. I couldn’t believe he actually fell for that one. He started glaring at me, but he still held me in his arms.
“That was not funny; I thought you were really upset with me”. He said seriously.
“I thought it was funny. Maybe, next time you will think twice before messing with me. Plus, if I was mad at you, you definitely would know. There is no way you could not know when your mate is upset with you”.
“Oh, well let’s just go to sleep. Goodnight babe, see you in the morning”. He kissed me on my forehead and wrapped his arms around me, so my head was on his chest. I said goodnight and then sleep consumed me.


Chapter Fourteen: Friends and Enemies

I woke up to my alarm clock going off. I didn’t even know I set my alarm, Taaron must have done it. I crawled out of bed, trying not to wake Taaron up and turned the alarm off.
“Where do you think you’re going”? Taaron asked me, sitting up in the bed.
“Going to take a shower, we have to be in class in an hour babe”.
“Oh, okay. You know, it would be quicker if we showered together right”? He had a smirk on his face.
“I don’t think so buddy, you have your own shower”. I yelled running into my bathroom, locking the door behind me, because he was chasing me in there. I turned the water on and hopped into my shower, washing my hair and body. I got out of the shower, after about twenty minutes. I blow dried my hair and ran my straightener through it. I placed light make-up on my face and then went to my room, to get dressed. I decided to wear some black leggings, with a red draped shirt. I found my black flats and placed them on my feet. I put in some diamond earrings and a diamond bracelet. I went out of my room and into the kitchen. There was a thing of blueberry muffins on the counter, so I grabbed one and then got a glass of milk. I sat down at the counter, eating away, when Taaron walked in and took a bit of my muffin. I know he did not just do that.
“Grab your own dam muffin, leave my food alone” I said glaring at him, so he knew I was serious.
He just chuckled and walked over to the other counter and grabbed him a muffin and then grabbed him a glass of milk. By the time, I was done eating it was almost time for school, so I ran into my bathroom and brushed my teeth real quick. Then I grabbed my book bag from the corner of my room and ran out the door, Taaron was following me. I didn’t know he had the same first hour as me, but I ran into class. Abruptly stopping at the door, Taaron ran right into me. He tried to pull it off by placing his arms around my waist and telling me he was sorry in the ear, then he kissed the side of my head. The teacher and other students were looking at us. I could tell the teacher was not very pleased, that we barely made it to class, before becoming late.
“Go sit in one of the empty seat”. The teacher told us, returning back to the white board up front. Taaron grabbed my hand and lead us to the only empty seats. I sat in front of him, while he was in the desk right behind me. I noticed that most of the girls were drooling over Taaron. I felt a growl escape my chest. I didn’t think I growled that load, but I could hear Taaron chuckle behind me. The teacher looked up at us.
“Miss. Salvatore, Mr. Montgomery, is there something that you would like to share with the rest of the class”? She said eyeballing us down, with a very serious voice.
“Um, no I don’t think so”. I gave her a reassuring look, but said it very snotty to her. I knew I was not going to like this teacher. She seems very stuck up. She looked at Taaron, but he just shook his head no, instead of saying anything. The teacher went back to the white board. My phone started ringing. I knew it was Taaron because I set a certain ringtone for him. The teacher turned around and walked up to my desk. She looked really annoyed.
“Miss. Salvatore, turn your phone off right this minute. I don’t want to hear any other disruptions out of you”. She turned and walked back to the board. There was no way I was going to turn my off completely off, but I shut the volume off. Then I looked down at the text, Taaron had sent me.
Taaron: Hey babe, why did you growl?
Me: Because
Taaron: oh, not you’re not going to tell me. Why???
Me: I don’t like these girls drooling all over my man.
Taaron: R U Jealous!
Me: No!
Taaron: Yeah, whatever. I know Ur jealous babe.
Me: Fine, you would be to if it was a bunch of guys looking at me like that.
Taaron: No guy better look at my girl that way.
Me: See told you
The bell rang and I grabbed my things and rushed out of the door. I ran into a very hard body. I did not like the smell of him. There was something I could not place. I looked up at him and he was giving me a look of death. Taaron came and walked up behind me, he looked at the guy that was standing in front of me.
“Walk away bloodsucker”! Taaron said with hate and disgust in his voice. I looked at Taaron shocked, I have never heard him treat anyone like that before.
“What are you going to do if I don’t”? The guy asked.
“I will tear you into pieces; now move away from my mate before you regret it”.
The guy laughed at him and walked away. I looked at Taaron. I was pissed; I couldn’t believe he was treating someone like that.
“Why did you treat him like dirt”? I asked.
“I treated him the way he deserved to be treated Lyla. He is a fucking vampire and I don’t appreciate him being that close to you”! He yelled.
“Well, he wasn’t that close to me, I was the one that ran into him. Stop being a jealous ass!” I yelled. I walked away from him and went to my class. Thank God, Taaron wasn’t in this class with me. I walked into the class and sat down at one of the empty seat. I noticed that Trevor and Terence walked into the class; they came and sat by me.
“Hey Lyla”, they both said in unison.
“Hey guys”. I said.
“Did you make up with your boyfriend”? Trevor asked.
“Yes, but I am mad at him again”.
“What did he do this time”? Terence asked.
“He was rude to a random stranger in the hall way. Well, I guess I’m not really mad at him, I’m just surprised he would speak to a random stranger like that”.
“Wow that is just not right”. Trevor said.
The rest of the day went by pretty quick; I ignored Taaron during lunch and our last two classes. After class I hurried up to my dorm trying to not get stopped from Taaron in the hall. I was about to shut the dorm door, when Taaron walked in. He pinned me against the wall and looked at me. I tried to look a different way, but he brought his hands to my face and made me face him. I looked downwards, not wanting to meet him in the eyes.
“Babe, please look at me”? He said with complete sincerity in his voice. I looked up at him. I gave him a “What do you want” look.
“You can’t blame me to be mean to that guy. He is a vampire Lyla. Vampires are our enemies”.
“Who say’s they have to be our enemies”?
“Our parents, the council, and every werewolf alive Lyla”.
“Well, that is not what I think, so I can do what I want. If you don’t like then that’s too bad for you”.
“Lyla, vampires and werewolves could kill each other. We don’t go near them for a reason. You have to stay away from them, or the council will punish you babe”.
“The council”? I looked at him questionably.
“Here, let’s sit down and I will explain everything to you. You need to know these things anyways babe. He grabbed my hand and pulled me down on the couch. I kept looking at him, waiting for him to explain to me what the council was.

Chapter Fifteen: The Council

“There are more supernatural things out there babe. The council is in charge of all of us. They made all of the rules for each kind, some of us have the same rules and then we all have separate rules though. If anyone breaks the rules, the council will come and place consequences among that individual. Sometimes it is not that big of a punishment and other times it means punishment of death. You see, we have to follow these rules. I don’t know what I would do, if you broke one of these rules and I didn’t get the chance to have you anymore.” Taaron said.
I looked at him, I couldn’t believe my father didn’t tell me about this before this all happened. It made me wonder if that is the reason why he left us when we were little, but Taaron stayed with his parents for most of his life. So, that couldn’t be the reason why. I have a feeling that my dad left us due to the council, but I can’t put my finger on exactly why. Yes, he didn’t want me to be involved in this werewolf stuff, but it didn’t work out that way. Maybe I’ll ask my dad exactly why, but first I need to know what the rules are.
“Hey what are the rules for us”? I asked Taaron.
“The first rule is that no human can know about us”.
“Wait my mom is human, so how can that
