A week after that, it was like we never even talked. He completely ignored me, and I felt myself getting angrier and angrier by the minute. Hatred filled my heart like never before. He used me… And I was dumb enough to let him! Then I thought about the first time I was here… What happened between him and Venus… What if he told her what he told me?

I-I've never done this before… You mean something to me…

Angry tears sprung in my eyes as I got up in the middle of a conversation at the table and left the lunchroom. That bastard… He just wanted to get his rocks off… And I was actually dumb enough to let him. Anger blazed through my heart and I felt the flames beginning to rise within me. I needed to talk to mom, now. As I was walking I ran into Venus, who looked at me and crossed her arms. "So. You let Inusheeko's words get to you huh?"

"Get… The fuck… Away from me…"

"You know, what he said to you, he probably said to me"

I sighed, and shook my head, walking away from her. I didn't have time for bullshit, and I wasn't about to deal with anymore. I walked into the temple to see two men talking. One I clearly recognized as Inusheeko and the other man was an older, sexier version of him. That must have been Erebus. I groaned and turned to leave when a voice stopped me. "Bunny, we were just talking about you… Come and join us please?" a deep voice asked. I turned to see Erebus smiling at me, and Inusheeko had turned away. So, he couldn't even look at me? I looked to the bracelet on my wrist. What in the fuck was this supposed to be then? Payment for services rendered… I walked over to the two and slid the bracelet off, letting it drop from my fingertips and in front of them. "Oh shit…" Erebus said, looking into my eyes that clearly showed my hurt. "Bunny… Sweetheart no…"

"I should have never trusted a word you said… You're just like every boy I've ever loved… Only difference is you got something from me… I will never be your mate" I stomped out of the temple, ignoring Erebus' calls. It was time for class, but I didn't go. I couldn't face seeing that bastard again. I went into my room and laid in my bed, covering my face with my pillow and began to sob. After a while, I heard the door open and close, then I heard the lock activate. "Ariella please don't ask…" I said, I couldn't open my mouth to speak about it. Hands grabbed me and ripped me out of my position on the bed. I looked into the eyes of Inusheeko, they were red from his tears that were steadily pouring down his face. "Why would you say that to me!?" he yelled, and I pushed him off of me. This bastard had the nerve to be upset!? I leapt off the bed and tackled him to the ground. "I HATE YOU!" I screamed at him. My tears and anger finally got the best of me, and I started openly sobbing, my hands covering my face.

Inusheeko POV

Never before have I been so hurt in all my life. The love of life had just told me that she would never be mated to me. I loved her! I didn't mean to ignore her! I was just so confused and I didn't know how to tell her without making a fool of myself. So I went to my dad to ask him for advice. Then she came in, and turned away to hide the fact that I was blushing, and then she hurt me so. Dad tried to stop her to tell her what happened, but she wouldn't listen to him! Now here I was, on the floor with love straddling me, sobbing with her hands covering her face. "I HATE YOU!" she said, and that made my heart die even more than it already did. "Bunny… Why…?" I asked, my own tears sliding down my cheeks. She got up and sat down on her bed. "You started ignoring me after what happened… You got what you wanted from me… Why are you continuing to hurt me!?"

"I was confused!" I cried, making her stop and look at me through her hands. I had her attention, so I hurriedly explained what was happening. "And since I had never felt anything like it, I couldn't get you out of my mind, and it made me oblivious to what was going on… I'm so sorry… I didn't mean to ignore you… I'm sorry… I-I'll leave and I won't ever bother you-

Lips touched mine, and I wrapped my arms around her as we kissed. I was still on the ground, so she had straddled me. I laid down on the floor and we continued to make out. I heard the door unlock, but I didn't care who saw us. Bunny was mine, and I smiled as she sat up. I sat up into a sitting position, hugging the beauty to me and gently slid the bracelet back onto her wrist. It symbolized that she was mine, but I needed something more permanent than a bracelet… But what?
