Chapter 3 THREE

Diana's POV

Breakfast with the pack members had really pushed me off the edge of my anxiety.

I almost had a mental breakdown from guilt, and I knew I shouldn't have been more selfish. They don't want any of my blood go to waste with just a prick of a scratch. They'd even go further in sacrificing themselves on not just to let a single drop of blood spill out of my flesh. Even if very little spills, something dreadful happens to the cause of it, bringing everyone that surrounds me to the point they wither in agony...

"A penny for your thoughts." Someone from beside me spoke drowsily.

"Owen!" I yelled dramatically, causing every head on the place to turn towards us. "How are you, still dizzy?" I tried to lace my voice with concern, but my mouth failed me as I let out a snicker.

"It's not funny, D." He frowned, combing his light brown hair up to its usual spiky form. I forgot to mention, my brother's Beta, one of my dearest friends- oh, I think I mentioned him, the one that got drunk, who's supposed to guard me last night, that's my man.

"I'm bored." I hummed, grinning widely while looking at him. He's gorgeous I admit, I had a huge crush on him ever since I was little.

Don't blame me, blame my childish soul, but it really turned me off the moment I learned to understand their kinds and the mate thing. He's a werewolf, he'll have a mate, he has none yet, but soon enough he'll have one, and I don't have the rights to take him, who's already destined for someone. Their souls are connected and I can't change that fact, another thing I envy about their kinds.

My smile falters a bit at that thought.

"What's wrong? Your head hurts?" He asked, reaching his hand at the back of my head.

"No!" I shot up rather immediately, though he was too fast to notice as he grabbed my waist back down. He lightly pulled my head, caressing it softly, and I almost burst in fractions of gummy bears and candies!

"Unfair." I grumbled under my breath as my heart rate picks up at his intoxicating scent. The way he treats me like a kid is unfair and I'm not kid, I'm an adult now for goddess's sake!

At that precise moment, silence enveloped the room, and my heart beat is the only thing that rhythmically swirled around the seething place. Damn..now this is awkward...

I diverted my eyes around towards the numbers of werewolves, and when my eyes lands on them, they returned to their normal bickering. Though not too loud enough, that the pounding of my heart is still present in the atmosphere. I looked for Polly, but the traitor's no where to be seen!

I knew I fucked up, they won't stop bugging me later on, once Owen leaves, and I don't know if this guy here notice something unusual with me lately. But I bet he didn't, and if he does, he wouldn't care about it anyways.

That's the way things had been the past year of my life. Cupid never fails to shoot his arrows towards me, and I never fail to fall with whomever I lay my eyes on. I've got lots of crushes, a whole list of them. Though, the only problem is that romance sucks at developing me with any of them, but it's not like I want to. And I do NOT want to be involved in such relationships and whatnot. Being a human is already a disadvantage for such clichés, and my only choice is to marry hot human men!

I must've said that last part of marrying out loud as I heard series of chuckles from around.

"You serious?" Says Owen.

"Of course, I am." I retorted proudly.

"What if you had a mate, Sissy?" A preteen asked. They tend to address me as Sissy, since I don't really know, I just let them call me whatever they want to.

I hummed, still not able to find an answer from that question. What if I do have one?
