Promise

A week passed and she never spoke to Zion. He was sitting beside her during lectures but they never talked.

After being kissed by the most powerful werewolf, she just went home that day. She signed an excuse letter that she was not feeling well so she would be permitted to go home early. She knew if she ever did go back after being dragged by Zion, everyone would ask her why.

Her cousin, Maxine, asked her when she got home. She made up a lie and told her that she accidentally said something offensive to Zion so he was just scolding her. Maxine believed her since she wasn't like other girls who were fond of werewolves. Her cousin was the one who spread what happened between her and Zion so she didn't really explain anything to anyone.

Zion didn't tell anyone about it either. He didn't bother to correct the rumor that she was scolded by him. But she did feel the coldness from him every time that he was near her. The feeling that she felt from him that day suddenly vanished.

She thought Zion was different but it was like the time that she had a boyfriend. She was happy and in love, but she woke up one morning and she couldn't feel anything towards the guy.

It was the same with Zion. The day they met, she felt a strong connection towards him. A desire was burning inside her especially when he kissed her. The next day, she felt nothing. Her memory wasn't erased but her feelings were.

She thought that was normal. But now she realized that there must be something wrong with her. All her memories before the accident has been erased, but her feelings towards a guy would always disappear overnight.

It was lunch time, she was fixing her things when one of her classmates approached her. He was looking at her, smiling, showing her his white perfectly aligned teeth.

"Ahm Ari! I was just wondering if you are free after class? I want to tell you something." He said, blushing.

She already knew what he would tell her. She wanted to reject him but then she thought he could help her confirm something about her. She would try to get to know the guy and maybe she would fall for him then see if she would forget it after.

She was about to answer him when they heard a loud sound. When she turned her eyes from the direction of the noise, she saw Zion was holding a guy by his collar. The sound came from the chair and table that was flipped on the floor.

Did he do that? She asked herself, frowning. She wasn't paying attention to Zion anymore after he kissed her, so she didn't know what exactly happened. A lot of their classmates were still inside the classroom when the commotion started and were all shocked from Zion's behavior.

She wasn't interested to know why but then she noticed the other werewolves in their class were looking at her. They were staring at her as if it was her fault. She saw Zion was aiming his fist to the guy when she suddenly stood up and called him.

"Zion!" She exclaimed.

She was surprised by her own reaction. She wasn't sure why she suddenly called out his name. But she couldn't take back what she did anymore. Everyone's attention was on her and was waiting for her next move.

Zion slowly turned his face to Amaris. His face looked dark and she knew he was angry. From whom? She didn't know. She took a deep breath and walked towards him. She didn't care about the other people in the room, her mind suddenly was filled with Zion's face.

"What do you want?" He asked her in a cold tone.

For some reason, she felt her heart was pierced by a needle when she heard him talk to her in that tone. Another confusion of hers. She thought she already lost her feelings towards him. That feeling of connection that she couldn't explain suddenly came back.

When she got closer to him, she reached out her hand, brushed her palm gently to Zion's arm. She felt his muscles tensed because of her touch. She saw his jaw clenched but his dark aura disappeared.

"Stop. Let go of him." She said.

Zion couldn't understand why she wasn't offended by her words. From the other people's views, it seemed like she was ordering him. But for him, he felt something gentle hearing her voice. It calmed him.

He slowly removed his grip on the guy's collar and signaled him to go away. When he looked around, the students were looking at him and Amaris. The three werewolves were also staring at him, confused.

After he kissed Amaris, his behavior changed. He became anxious. He wanted to talk to her but he felt like there was something in her eyes that he didn't see anymore from the first day they met. He couldn't feel that she was also drawn to him and it feels like she was getting far away from him everyday.

"Come with me." He ordered before walking towards the exit door.

She didn't move. She was hesitating if she would come with him again. He sensed that she was just standing there and didn't follow him. He turned around to face her again.

"If you don't come with me, I will never ask you again." He said in a serious tone, enough to be heard by everyone.

They looked at Zion then to Amaris, waiting for her response. They were surprised and confused from what happened. The alpha of the blue moon pack suddenly stopped attacking someone just because a terran girl said so.

"Will you promise me one thing?" She asked.

"What is it?" Zion frowned.

She sighed deeply and bit her lips before staring directly into his eyes.

"Promise me that you will never let go of my hand."

"I will never let go of you." He answered before rushing towards her.
