WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED
KAEL'S POV
{BEFORE THE FIGHT: }
After Mira left last night, I walked out of the mansion and headed straight for the school forest. I shifted into my wolf form and ran. I let the trees scrape against my fur and the cold night air rush past me.
I kept going until my legs burned and my lungs felt like they were on fire. Only then did the noise inside my head finally begin to fade.
The run worked.
For the first time in a long while, I felt alive.
Not trapped. Not drowning in thoughts.
Not obsessing over things I shouldn't want.
Things like being wanted by her, being treasured by her.
That one strange girl whose presence I crave and resent at the same time.
Why does she have to be from a poor family? Sometimes I catch myself wishing she were someone else.
