Zeke Hayes
I don't know why I agreed to Peyton driving me home, but we're in his jeep now. He puts it in drive, and I try to process everything they just said. The whole wolf thing freaks me out. It is kinda cool, honestly. That such creatures are real. But the whole mate thing?
Terrifies me. I can't be with someone, as silly as that sounds. I don't know how to be someone's mate, and I don't even want to begin to understand what that means.
"When did you know?" The words leave my lips before I can stop them.
"The first day of school" he answers, and I swear my heart breaks.
"Is that why Sam wanted to be my friend?" I ask, although I don't want to know the answer.
"Yes, but she cares about you Zeke. A lot" he turns to me for a moment, then focuses back on the road. That stings.
