Chapter 27
• Keiran’s POV •
My father and I came to the hospital the next morning. Apparently, he took a quick flight and was back before the sun was up. I wanted to go in my own ride but he didn’t let me.
I decided to not argue and just do what he says. My mom’s health was at stake right now and she nee-ded us. I’m surprised I couldn’t sleep at all last night because I kept thinking about her. A je-rk like me had no idea I cared this much for her.
We walked into the ward and saw Damien standing next to her together with the nurse.
Mom was still unconscious and was using an oxygen tank to breath.
Damien stepped out and led us out of the room.
“Please, let’s talk in my office.” He said and we wordlessly followed him.
“Be quick with it, what is wrong with her? Tell me so I can provide whatever she nee-ds to survive this.” Dad said taking a seat while I stood.
“She has cancer of the blood, her whole system is gradually crashing and we will further examine her to know of it’s terminal or not terminal. I think we should start treatment soon.” Damien replied and there was a shift in the atmosphere.
Mom has cancer? How is that possible?
My breath hitched and I could no longer breath properly.
Does this mean we might loose her?
“Will she survive this?” Dad asked like he read my mind.
“Yes, she is a….werewolf.” Damon whispered. “She has a high chance of recovering speedily to any treatment being given to her. Of course, I will consult the old witch and other health experts that might have an effective and quicker solution. I also want her to be moved to the pack house so she will be safer from shifting and being seen.”
Dad nodded before getting up. He walked out of the office looking lost and I heard the door jam close.
“I’m so sorry, Keiran. Let’s be positive that she will be alright, okay?” He cooed.
I nodded unable to say anything. I left the office and went after Dad. He had entered the men’s restroom. I followed him for no reason but froze when I heard his voice from the closed door.
He was crying and that was the first time I heard or seen him doing so.
I wasn’t even sure if he was crying for mom. Maybe he lost a contract or a deal worth millions.
My father can’t be crying for mom. He really can’t…
I was trying to convince myself as I felt my heart being heavy.
She will be alright.
We have enough resources to save her so why thefu-ck am i feeling like she died or something?
I pushed the emotions away and left the hospital, taking a ride to school though I wasn’t with anything except my phone and money.
The teachers will have to deal with it.
I got to school and discovered cl@$$es had already begun. I ditch cl@$$ and stayed alone in the locker room.
During lunch time, Ace and Hillary came right on the dot to the locker room.
“Why the hell do you look like you got dumped by a b**ch?” Hillary asked lifting me up from the chair.
“Nothing.” I groused following them out of my temporary solace.
“What took you guys so long?” I asked glaring at Ace in pa-rticular. He was the first to see the message in the dumb group chat Hillary created.
“I’m sorry, I had mathematics and you know how strict the teacher is. He couldn’t let anyone leave and even ended up confiscating four phones from students during his period.” He replied and I sighed knowing I’ve forgiven him already.
We decided to stay in the music room to hang out since no one would be using it the entire day.
“Crazy news, Keiran. Hillary and I are gonna start after school tutoring. Welcome us to the club, bro.” Ace said and Hillary scoffed.
“I can’t believe I got roped into this.” He whined like a child.
“Why are you guys joining? Your grades are…acceptable.” I pointed out.
“We want to keep you company.” Ace replied with an ‘obvious’ expression.
“No way, you both are distractions.” I retorted and Ace chuckled.
“I’m looking for a girlfriend, Keiran and I can’t do it without you. Help me find one. Before it skip my mind again, are you really in a relationship with Umbrie?” Hillary said shocking me.
“What the — Stay out of my personal life, you Jughead.”
“What?… I just want to know the girls that are off limits.” Hillary persisted.
“Haven’t you seen how good she treats me? It should tell your dumb br@in she has strong interest in me. I’m still considering it though. We have to be careful these days. Relationships are just weird.” I pretended to be ignorant.
“Have she texted you since today?” Ace asked and I blinked.
That’sfu-cking true.
Umbrie hasn’t called me or text me and it’s already half of the day.
She haven’t seen me in cl@$$ so how can she not ask of me?
I bought out my phone and checked my call history but there was no missed call from her.
That’s very odd since she’s on a mission to making this mating thing work out.
“He’s completely flustered.” Ace whispered to Hillary and they laughed hysterically.
“Shut up…” I groused at them before dialing Umbrie’s number.
After a few rings, she answered and I could hear the sound of water running as though she was in a shower. The sound died down eventually and I could hear her voice.
“Hello, Keiran?” Umbrie asked from the other line and I raised my brows.
“Aren’t you in school? What’s with the shower?”
“I’m in school but I am in the locker room. We just finished practicing soccer.” She replied.
“Oh..” I drawled trying ha-rd not to imagine her in the shower.
I thought about mom though and if I should tell Umbrie what the doctor said.
I was thinking about it when suddenly;
“Would you like to go on a date with me?” I said before I even realized it.
Ace and Hillary looked at me.
What thefu-ck did I say?
I was waiting for her response when she hung up the call. I glanced at the screen multiple times. Why did she hang up?
What sort of answer is that?

Chapter 28
• Umbrie’s POV •
I stared at the phone after I had disconnected the call until it went blank.
I can’t believe he just asked me out. I was never expecting that tho.
And now that it happened, I ended up turning my phone off by mistake.
Such a catch, Umbrie.
I didn’t panic. I was done bathing so I stepped out after wrapping myself up with a towel. I got dressed before leaving and meeting up with Daphne for drama rehearsals.
I didn’t like washing up at school but I had to from the sweat. Never again will I try so ha-rd, I will just effortlessly do the exercises.
When school was over, I got another call from Keiran and I did a breathing exercise before answering.
“Hello.”
“You hang up on me, Umbrie. I’ve been waiting for you to call back but you didn’t.” He stated.
“Well, I nee-ded time to think throu-ghit and see if I have time.” I replied interlocking arms with Daphne.
“You nee-ded time to think throu-ghit? Anyways, what did you decide?” He asked and it seemed like he was pacing around from the other side.
“I accept the date. Text me the details.” She replied before hanging up again.
She really nee-ded to stop doing that to him.
• The date •
I wondered if everything was alright with Mrs Diaz and that’s the reason Keiran was actually hanging out with me.
He picked me up and mom was in a better mood this time. I knew she’d let me go even after her emotional let out the other day.
“How is your mom?” I asked when we were on our way. Mom asked him too but he dodged the question and didn’t talk about it.
“She’s fine.” He replied.
“Why aren’t you with her? This date amidst her sickness isn’t cool.” I said slowly.
“I said she’s fine. She’s my mom, not yours. You can’t keep talking about her all night long. She has a nurse whom my dad paid well to be with her, so, why should I stress myself?” He ruefully replied.
“Sorry, though. I just think a lot.” I muttered feeling uncomfortable.
It is at this point that I realized how much of an inconvenience I was.
“Its nothing. I don’t even care about it. She shouldn’t stop me from breathing.” He growled parking in front of a restaurant.
Thank goodness, it wasn’t a hotel.
We alighted and he led me in. The first thing that hit my se-nses was the scent of a werewolf around, apa-rt from my date and I.
“Are you okay?” He asked looking into my face.
“Don’t you feel that?” I asked and he shook his head.
“It seems like you have lost your se-nse of inner smell.” I told him before we entered.
“Whatever that means.” He chuckled.
I ended up paying for the meal. I was persistent and was about to start a debate with him but he finally surrendered.
We did more of talking than more of eating.
I also took photos of Keiran and he did the same of me.
They head home with gloomy dark sky flashing with lightening and thun-der. It was about to rain.
Keiran sped up and the rain had already started pouring heavily on the way. I made him come with me into our house. It was more like a storm outside and it would be dangerous for him to drive in the mist of it.
There was so much cold too and my mom let him stay. I led him up to her room and we changed into bigger wears to cover ourselves from the cold of the night.
“Did Louis ever come in here?” Keiran asked sitting on my couch.
“Yes, he did.” I admitted before snuggling into my bed un-der the duvet.
“You know I have never asked you what you did with Louis.” He said standing up.
“We even had a son together.” I dryly joked but Keiran frowned.
“You both slept together?” He questioned folding his arms.
“No. But we kizzed.” I answered avoiding the tremors rising in my voice.
“I’m not mad because it was my body anyway.” Keiran shrugged sitting on the chair.
“How could you say that? Do you know how it feels being with someone you think you know but it ended up being a facade and that he wasn’t the person? It hurts so much. I hated myself for all the times he hu-gged me and tou-ched me. So, you don’t even have the right to get mad, okay?” I bursted out bluntly.
“I’m sorry. This wouldn’t have happened if I didn’t leave.” He said in a calm tone.
I sniffed trying to hold back the tears but they streamed down anyway making him to stare at me intently. He got up and approached me, getting on my bed.
“Stop crying. I’m sorry for everything.” He consoled and I wiped my tears off slowly myself.
“Goodnight.” I muttered before resting my head on the pillow. We maintained eye contact and he wasn’t leaving.
Suddenly, he leaned in on me and kizzed my li-ps. My eyelids flic-kered in shock.
It was good while it lasted but my hands moved fas-ter than my mind and I tou-ched him by his shoulders redistricting him from coming closer.
My eyes began to water again.
“How do I know it’s really Keiran this time?” I asked gazing into his brown eyes.
He dropped his li-ps to my ear and whispered;
“You don’t like it when I pull away from your grip while being inti-mate with you. You hold me too close.”
My body shuddered when I heard his words. I could feel a reaction de-ep down.
He kizzed me again and I wrapped my arms around his ne-ck.
He raised my legs up making room for himself. I heard the clinging of belt and he tossed it aside.
It was instant warmth I felt when he slammed into me.
“It’s been so long.” I voicelessly cried grabbing his torso closer.
I was holding him like he was what I nee-ded to survive. I haven’t always been able to stop myself from being clingy to him whenever we were being inti-mate.
He went on and on and I felt more than just plea-sures. It was so de-ep that I thought it would drive me crazy.
Whenever he wanted to let up and dive dee-per, I wouldn’t let him but hold him ti-ghter to feel his breath around my ne-ck.
