Decision

"So, what are we doing here? Are you going to ask me something?" Amaris asked innocently.

Zion couldn't believe what she just said. They shared another kiss earlier and in front of everyone, now she was asking him again as if nothing happened.

"Why are you asking me like nothing happened? Are you playing with me?" He asked, looking at her with a frown face.

She blushed. She suddenly remembered what they did earlier. She bit her lips and crouched down, pouting. They were back in the garden when Zion dragged her out for the second time.

"What have I done? I kissed a guy in front of those people and he was a werewolf, an alpha to be exact." She was talking to herself in a loud voice.

He chuckled. "You do realize I'm here, right?"

She looked at him and he was smiling. She felt her heart skip a beat and the feelings she had on the day they first met came back. She stood up, her face became serious.

"What is it?" He asked, confused.

He saw her expression change and he knew she wanted to say something.

"I want to tell you something. Can we talk somewhere else?" She asked.

She wasn't comfortable telling him her story in the school garden. She felt like someone was listening to them and the students would definitely look for them just to scoop some stories.

"I can take you to the pack house. My wolf suggested the other day to bring you there but you were ignoring me for the whole week. So if you're okay with that then I'll take you there." He offered.

She stared into his eyes, making sure of his sincerity.

"Okay. But we will leave after class." She answered.

Zion wasn't just an alpha of a pack. He came from a very wealthy family. He's the heir of the Verlice Empire, one of the richest clans in Terra but here in Aramoor City, they are the richest. Amaris didn't really think much of his background. She was just starting to get to know him anyway. She wanted Zion to tell her about himself. She wasn't interested to base her impressions on those rumors and news.

After class, Maxine approached her to ask about Zion. She dragged Amaris in the corner and Zion saw that. Amaris looked at him and he knew she was telling him that everything's okay.

"I'll wait for you outside." Zion murmured when he passed through the two of them.

Therese and Gladies, their twin friends, also joined in with them.

"What was that, Ari? Are you in a relationship with him? How did it happen? Are you his mate?" Maxine continuously asked.

"W-wait! One at a time Max. I can't answer you if you keep on throwing questions." She said, stopping her cousin from panic.

Maxine crossed her arms and rolled her eyes. She didn't ask another question but waited for Amaris answer.

"So? Explain!"

Amaris sighed and told them what happened on the day they first met.

"Are you sure about this Ari? You said both of you couldn't figure out your feelings. I don't want you to get hurt." Max said in a worried voice.

That's what she loves about Maxine. She was a bitch and stubborn but she was always there for her. She was her best friend. She knew Maxine felt the same towards her. They were more like sisters than cousins.

"Max, ever since the accident, I felt like there was something missing inside me. A part of me was lost for five years. When I met Zion, I suddenly felt a connection. I know there was something about him. I have this feeling that he was part of the missing piece of myself." She briefly explained.

Max took a deep breath and held her hand.

"You know that I would never stop you from getting your memories back. I made a promise to you, remember? I want you to be happy. But if anything goes wrong, I'm here okay?" Max said then pulled her into a hug.

The twins who just listened to their conversation joined in. Then they went out of the room where Zion and the other three werewolves were waiting. She wasn't expecting a warm smile from them, she was a normal girl after all. But she doesn't really care about it now.

"Zion, this is Maxine, my cousin. And my friends, the twins Therese and Gladies." She introduced them to him.

"Hi!" The twins greeted in unison.

Maxine was glaring at Zion. Just the other day, her cousin was fangirling over him but now she looks like she was throwing daggers at him from her eyes.

"I don't care who you are, if you hurt my precious Ari, I will make sure to put you in a cage!" She said with gritted teeth.

"Max!" Amaris called.

Maxine pouted but stopped glaring at Zion. Amaris noticed that the two other guys were smiling except for the girl who was staring at her.

"This is Cole, my beta. Xavier, my delta. And this is Zoila, my sister." Zion introduced his comrades, ignoring Max's rant.

"Hi, I'm Amaris. But everyone calls me Ari." She answered while smiling politely.

She first thought that Zoila had a crush on Zion because she was giving her a cold stare. Turns out, she was the sister. The evil one? She wasn't sure of that.

"Let's go?" Zion asked, reaching out his hand to her.

She wasn't hesitating anymore. She made a decision that she would come with him to find out his connection to her. She looked at Max and as her cousin nodded, she reached back to hold Zion's hand.

They went to the parking lot and walked towards a red ferrari. Zion opened the passenger door in front, she looked at Zoila and turned to Zion.

"She'll ride with them. Don't worry about her." He said.

She nodded before going inside the car. Zion talked to his friends and sister first before following her in the car.

"Where do you-" Her question was cut off when he suddenly grabbed her by the neck and slammed his lips to hers.
