Chapter 65
Adam suggested that I unpack my stuff munil Emily got back from college and Lobliged. I mean, it was getting really hard to maintain conversation. What so you even talk about to your sister’s boyfriend who you’re only merring for the first timet.
Yeah, nothing.
I had no idea how a couple of college–going students could afford a two–bedroom apartment on their own but I wasn’t about to start complaining. Their extra bedroom was going to be my room, for the time being
Unpacking felt unreal. Placing my clothes in a foreign cabinet felt strange. How did my life turn to a point where I had had to live at my sister’s place!
Stopping my depressing thoughts milway, I concentrated on unpacking my stuff, I had no idea how long it took me to unpack but once I did, I plopped down in my bed and took a deep breath.
I plugged in my earphones opened a random playlist on my phone and started to wonder about the new school I was going to join. I would be a freak, joining in the middle of the school year..Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Happy thoughts
Emily opened my door after a few hours and smiled at me. I paused the song which was playing and san up on the bed.
She walked inside the room and took a gonal look around. I see you’ve unpacked”
“Yeah, figured I would just get it over with
She slowly walked and sat beside me in the bed. “How was your journey?”
He was
“It was fine” By fine, I meant that I had a panic attack and mental breakdown on the road as had to call my ex–boyfriend’s father to help me. the one who kept me grounded and even gave me a few silver articles so that I wouldn’t be affected by my need to be with his son. Not line, I am fun–freaking–tastic.
“Good” Emily’s eyes moved over my face and then she suddenly hugged me “Oh god, I missed you?
I smiled and bit back my tears and hugged her back as tightly as I could. Before the frud on the dinner table with Harper, me and Emily had been as close as two sisters could get. I missed dust and from the hug. I could tell that she missed it too. Maybe we could salvage a bit of our relationship. “I missed you 100.

Dinner! I checked the time on my phone to see that it was almost 7. Damn. I must have fallen asleep.
Sure, what’s for dinner?
“You’ll have to wait and see. It takes a lot of time to prepare food for four people, well now five people.” *Four prople? I thought it was just you and Adam?
“Well, yeah. But sometimes, Ethan and Cecelia come over for dinner and this is
is one of those days.”
I nodded. Two encounters with that boy in a day; I had no idea if I was looking forward to the d
dinner or not.
Emily hated my tardiness in the kitchen, so I ended up sitting on one of the barstools of the kitchen, giving her company

2:44 PM c
One thing was certain, my mind was full of crap. What was about this guy that made me tingle in all the right placest My subconscious violently displayed images of Harper when I think about Ethan. What was about him that made me forget about Harper and all the bad things he did to me
My eyes moved to the girl who entered after him. I would be lying if I said that I wasn’t expecting a blond bimbo because I was. At least, one thing is different about him than Harper
unce of makeup
The girl was a brunette and was dressed in a cute beige cardigan and slim–tight jeans. Her skin was flawless, her face without an ounce and she seemed genuine. I liked her instantly and I didn’t want to
I was going crazy because I had issues with a girl who was dating a guy I just met today. Hell, I came here to get away with guy problems and not dive straight into them. Not to mention that this guy was another werewolf, which made it a super no–no.
I tore my eyes away from the happy couple and walked inside the kitchen to grab another dish. I overheard the muffled sounds of Adam greeting Ethan and Cecelia.
“I heard about your meeting with Ethan this morning I stopped moving while my eyes whipped to meet my sister’s.
“Don’t mind him. He’s just a little different.” I weakly nodded, unaware of where she was going with this. This situation became uncomfortable very quickly. “And don’t mention werewolves, Cecelia is a human and doesn’t know!
“He’s dating her and hasn’t told her?”
“He’s been dating her for six months and you were best friends with a couple of werewolves for eighteen years. She pointedly said.
I sighed. “Point well made.” With that, I grabbed the stuffed turkey and put it on the dining table, where five chairs were arranged for us to sit.
The boys had opened up beers because Ethan was standing on the opposite side of the table, with a chilled beer in his hand. “So, you’re still here?!”
I rolled my eyes. I couldn’t even make out if he was joking or just stating a fact. “So are you”
I walked to the fridge and took one beer out for myself.
“You sure
sure you can drink?” Ethan pointedly asked with a stupid smirk on his face.
“I’m an adult.” I raised my eyebrows and rolled my eyes. I walked inside the living room where the highlights of the tennis game were still playing Cecelia sat on the couch beside Adam, the both of them fully engrossed in the game.
I took the seat beside Cecelia and decided to introduce myself. “Hi, I’m Zara, Emily’s sister,”
She turned her whole body towards me and gave me a megawatt smile. “Oh, hey. I’m Cecelia. I’m with Ethan Oh, believe me. I know.
I took a big drink of my beer to relieve my body of the stress and frustration. Won’t lie, it felt damn good.
“Damn sis, slow down.” Adam chuckled.
I stopped the slight cringe that came with hearing the word is and took another big gulp. My eyes moved to Ethan, who was sitting on the sofa beside Adam. He raised his eyebrows as if to say really, and in response, I took another big sip.
At this rate, I will soon be wasted and puking mi guts in the toilet. The thought made me slow down a bit.
“So, Zara. Emily told me you were a senior in high school?”
“Yeah, I am. So, how did you guys meet anyway?”
ng and here we are, six months later
“Well, I met Edun at a sorority party. He was with Adam and Emily We started talking
“Oh, durs cool. How did you meet Ethan, Adam!”
Adam Laughed which made me more curious. My cyrs moved to Ethan’s to already find them on me. I fought the urge to blush at his intense star
bar and he pandied me as soon as his eyes landed on inet
I moved forward in my seat. Ethan punched Adamt “What were you doing? Making out with his girlfriend or something?” I laughed
