Chapter 4: The Plan

Zora's PoV

"Danger?" I was alarmed.

"I will never let anything bad happen to you. " He answered confidently. "That's why I need you to come with me." He softly said.

He then gave me details of what happened the day he first saw me.

According to him, 'He drove out of his community two weeks before he met me at my campsite.

Then he always kept an eye on me… for safety he confirmed when I looked shocked'. No wonder I saw a wolf during the drive to school with Julia. I wish Julia was here to confirm this part. I said in my head and laughed after doing a small dance.

'He said, he drove through the abandoned road close to crescent high.' That's true, it's truly abandoned because I have never seen a car pass through that road even in day time. 'Then he saw them, two werewolves moving around like it was normal. Werewolf hardly walk in wolf form when they come to the human community but something else caught his attention.

They had A written in red at the tip of their tail. Signifying they were spies from the enemy's side. Spies had a special hidden mark in the werewolf community but Amazona's were different. They decided to use their initials in red for their spies. He decided to delay his journey to track them down. Because the rules forbids unjust killing of humans'.

'Even if my father thinks a little differently.' He had said and rolled his eyes. 'He carefully tracked them to this side of town, which turned out to be where I live.' I nodded, it all made sense.

He stood up and moved a little close to me. Instinctively I backed into the sofa. That made him stop. I needed space to think right without having his scent clouding my thoughts. He has this unique scent that intoxicates me whenever he is close.

"Why haven't I changed to a wolf?" I asked. It has been bugging me since our last encounter. If truly I'm a werewolf, I should have transformed right…

"I don't have an answer to that yet but I'm 100% sure you are my mate" he couldn't help himself and moved a little closer to me. I didn't move this time which encouraged him. He kept moving till he got to me and crouched in front of me. He reached out and held my smaller hands in his larger ones. His touch sent a spark through my entire body. He visibly inhaled.

"I can't stay away from you, I don't know if you feel what I feel but it's impossible to go on without you. I need you Zoe, You are everything to me now." He admitted. I couldn't take my eyes off his lips. He was doing the same but he kept drifting from my eyes to my lips and back.

Inching closer and closer, I felt his grip tightened on my hands. I know I wasn't thinking logically but all I could think of was him, his lips to be specific.

He looked like he wanted to say something but didn't. Suddenly he stood up, dropping my hands in the process and moved away. He looked pained.

That action brought me back to my senses.Then I stood up.

"I need confirmation to know if you are telling the truth, or not." I told him.

"You can only get one" he looked unsure at first but before I could figure out his next expression, he closed the distance in a blink of an eye, held my face and smashed his lips to mine. I froze but it didn't last a second. The urgency, the need and intensity of the kiss scared me but I felt the same honestly. I kissed him back with fervor. He shoved his tongue into my mouth and kissed me hard.

I didn't even realize we were moving until my back hit the wall. Which made me release an unintentional moan. That broke the kiss.

He didn't leave me, instead he grabbed my tiny waist and whispered in my ear, which made me shiver.

"Tell me you don't feel the same" it was more like a statement than a question. He kept placing light kisses on my left ear down to my neck. The butterflies in my belly didn't give me time to reply. I was enjoying whatever he was doing to me until he got to a certain spot and started licking. My legs almost gave out but thankfully he was holding me. He kept licking until I felt something graze my neck, I stiffened.

He noticed and stopped. Then he released his hold on me.

"That was the confirmation you needed, this connection between us will always be there." He said holding my face.

"Give me time," I said without thinking. He nodded "You have all the time in the world Jewel." he had said and left, not before gracing my forehead with a kiss.

The longing he left in me was really bad. That wasn't my first kiss but Damn!! I would do anything to kiss those lips again.

That same night I drafted out my plans. Two weeks is enough to get this over with and he can also help me to find my parents.A win win for both of us. I will just assume it's a vacation.

I told my mum about my plans and she instantly lit up. She was glad I didn't plan to leave them.

Later around 9:20pm, I called Julia and told her about my plans to go on a vacation. I still don't have the courage to tell her about the truth yet.

Just as I was about to dial Justin's number, he walked right into my room like a ghost. He wasn't his usual self. I guess Julia already informed him but that was quick. It wasn't up to 2 minutes I dropped the phone call with her.

"Tell me the reason Zee" he was dead serious. He never calls me that unless it is important. He crossed his hands and stopped in front of my bed. I shifted my eyes away from him.

"Well.. I.." I stammered. The intensity of his gaze was frightening.

"I'm just worried," he softly said.

"I will be fine," I told him.

I moved closer to where he was and hugged him.

He didn't return my hug at first but did anyway. That made me smile. He hardly stays angry with me for more than 10 minutes.

His look after we broke from the hug had a different meaning. Then he did something that confused me. He sniffed around me, exactly the same as the wolf.

His next word shocked me.

"I'm going with you" he said with a little frown, leaving no room for argument.
