Last time on The Wolf, The Protector, and The Loner...

"Well, your different from them"

"How?"

"Well, you are actually caring, you don't like being treated like royalty" I said, she smiled.

"Your right, but, I still hope when I find love that they will treat me like royalty, even though I don't like it" Okami smiled a blush tinted her cheeks. I knew right now was the perfect moment to give her chocolates.

"Okami?"

"Ya"

"Here" I blushed handing her chocolates. She looked shocked, and happy. Before I knew it, she was hugging me.

"Thank you, Zero!" Okami beamed, I smiled back. She also handed me chocolates, I hugged her back. We were both staring at each other, her green and yellow eyes were beautiful, before I knew it, we both were leaning in.

"What are you two doing?" Ariel's voice rang through my ears, we both jumped.


(Zero's POV)

I almost kissed Okami! Now, Ariel has caught us, she is probably pissed.

"W-well, u-um" Okami tried to find the words but couldn't. Her face was as red as a tomato.

"We were giving each other chocolates, what else" I answered, trying to hide the blush.

"Uh huh, Okami, get to class, Zero, go start patrolling" Ariel ordered, I nodded. Okami didn't even look at me before leaving, she must have felt bad, and embarrassed. Much like myself.

(Okami's POV)

"Oh God" I mumbled, I ran to my room to change and head to class. I burst into the classroom sitting down in my seat next to Rima. She gave me a look, I just mouthed 'I'll explain later' She nodded, understanding. I listened the the lesson for once. Even though I may have been here, my mind was somewhere else. I kept thinking back to that moment, "What he hell was going on?"

(Ariel's POV)

You know that feeling of betrayal, except its, like, a thousand times worse. Ya, thats what I feel. My best friend, and crush almost kissed. I fought my hardest to hold back the lump in my throat. Right now, I need answers. I was walking around when I crossed paths with Zero.

"Explain what the fuck is going on!" I shouted at him, tears were about roll down my cheeks.

"Well, I was giving Okami chocolates, and she gave me some," Zero said blankly

"Lies. Fucking lies! You two almost kissed!" I shouted

"Why do you care so much! I'm growing up and I don't need a parent watching over me!" Zero yelled, it hurt to hear him say that. I have watched out for him most of my life, now? He refuses.

"I care because I love you Zero!" I shouted, instantly regretting because I looked anywhere in that moment. In that perfect moment, I looked at the Moon Dormitories and saw all of the Night Class watching, and a certain green eyed girl in the front.

"Leave," Zero muttered

"What?"

"LEAVE!" Zero shouted, I was taken back by shock, yet I nodded and ran away. Crying.

(Okami's POV)

"I care because I love you Zero!" Ariel shouted, it felt like a stab to the heart. That hurt me, a lot. I looked straight at Ariel, she looked back. Her face full of regret. Rima looked at me, I didn't show any emotion.

"Class dismissed" The professor said. We all left, and filed out of the building. We were walking towards the gate, I wasn't ready to face anyone. Rima and Senri stepped closer to me. I gave them a small smile. As we walked through the gate, I felt a new presence near me. I looked up and saw Zero. He grabbed my arm and pulled me away.

"Zero! Let go!" I snapped, using what my pack would call the 'Alpha' voice. He looked shocked yet didn't let go. I would have to use my strength. I pulled away, looking dead at Zero before having my eyes shift yellow. I smirked and left.

(Zero's POV)

"Fuck, Fuck, FUCK!" I had her, I could've explained everything. But no, I was stupid. Now, I have screwed up majorly. Not only with Okami, but Ariel.

"Z-Zero, is everything ok?" Yuki asked

"Never better" I muttered, not in the mood.

"Is something going on? I just want to help," Yuki pleaded

"Have you ever been torn between someone, you are in love one of them, yet you love the other like a sibling. But, your mind can't make up its mind?" I asked, hopping to get a good answer.

"Oh boy," Yuki mumbled barley audible "This is about Ariel and Okami, isn't it?"

"Ya"

"Well, I would follow your heart, if it says go for Okami then do so, if it says go for Ariel, then do so"

"Ok, thanks" I mumbled, flashing Yuki a small smile. I continued on my way. Tonight I would catch Okami, apologize and make everything right with her. With Ariel, I'll just have to wait it out.

(Ariel's POV)

"I've become so numb I cant feel you there" I hummed, sitting in my bed crying my eyes out. I felt like I had died on the inside. Like all that left was a hallow shell of a person. How did I not know that he was going to fall for Okami, I mean, c'mon. She has the bad girl personality everyone likes. Plus her tattoo.

"WHY DOES LIFE HATE ME!" I cried screaming into my pillow

(Okami's POV)

"Why does life hate me?" I mumbled, walking towards my shared dorm room with Rima.

"Life doesnt hate you" Rima said calmly

"Ya it does," I sighed

"Luna, you can get through this," Rima smiled, I looked at her, smiling. She hugged me, I hugged back.

"Thanks!" I smiled, whipping away some stray tears.

"So... Horror movies?" Rima asked smirking

"Hell ya!" I smiled, jumping on my bed while she went to put a movie in.

Rima put in The Shinning. I just sat there, staring at the screen, not jumping when the scares appeared on the screen. Rima was scared half to death. I was laughing my head off.

"Rima, you are a wuss!" I laughed

"Not my fault I've barely watched any horror movies!"

"But we are freaking vampires, gore, and murder are normal things for us," I laughed

"Shut up!" Rima snapped

"NEVER!" I laughed, we continued to watch the movie.

"Wolf?"

"Ya," I replied

"Do you like Zero, still?" Rima asked, I blushed a bright shade of red.

"Y-yes," I stuttered very quietly. Not really wanting her to hear.

"I KNEW IT!" Rima squealed, I laughed

"Shut up!" I giggled

(Zero's POV)

"I walk alone, I walk a..." I love this song, I was humming along to Green Day's Boulevard of Broken Dreams. Of course, one girl was haunting my thoughts, I couldn't stop thinking about her. The way I hurt her, I feel bad. I plan on making it up to her.

"ZERO!" Someone called, I looked behind me and saw Rima running towards me. I got in battle stance yet, I realized she wasn't going to attack.

"What?" I questioned her.

"Its about Okami," She stated, I turned a bit red at her name.

"What about her?" I asked

"Well, we were talking and she has feelings for you Zero!" Rima almost shouted with excitement.

"Really?" I asked, trying yet failing to hide my blush.

"Yes!" She smiled, I smiled to. Okami likes me!

"She is in pain right now, yet talk to her tonight, meet her by the tree, she will be there," Rima smiled

"Rima!" Senri called as he ran out to her. Rima smiled.

"We need to get going, modeling," Senri stated, staring at me. He handed Rima an umbrella, they walked to a limo.

(Ariel's POV)

"Time for class!" Yuki smiled

"Not in the mood," I sighed

"Don't turn into Okami," Yuki sighed

"I'm not, we are completely different! She is a rebel, I at least try to get good grades, plus, she is a hybrid!" I snapped

"Hybrid?" Yuki questioned

"Ya, she is a werewolf and vampire. To be exact she was next in line for alpha of the Lunar Pack," I stated in my 'Matter of Fact Voice'

"Really? So how does she have powers or a aristocrat vampire?" Yuki asked

"I don't know, must be part of being a hybrid," I stated

"Huh, well, she isn't that great of a hybrid, she seems to be extremely sensitive!" Yuki said

"Ya, thats her weakness, she acts tough but, she is a home sick pup,"

"Lets get ready!" Yuki smiled

"Good idea!" I smiled back. I got out of my PJ's and through on my uniform. Time to go downstairs to class.

(?'s POV)

"How much further" I called back to my friend, her brown eyes staring back at me.

"We should reach the Eclipse pack, or whats left of it, in at least an hour," She called

"Leigh! How are you doing!" I called back, she looked a lot like Okami, except she had white streaks in her hair and bright green eyes.

"I'm fine Ryder!" She called up to me. We have gathered several people from other packs. Megan and I are from Lunar, Solar we have Willa, and Jess, Twilight we have Storm, and Leigh, now we are going to what is left of the Eclipse to see if anyone wants to come with us.

"Megan, we need help!" Storm called

"I'm coming!"

"Ryder, we need to camp," Leigh said

"No, we have to make it! I know this storm is bad, but we have to get there!" I called

"Please!" Megan begged "Willa has passed out, Storm is holding in there, the only way we can make it is if we shift!"

"Fine! Everyone shift! Storm carry Willa on your back," I called back, everyone nodded before shifting.

(No one's POV)

"Alright class, turn to page 180 and do problems 1-6" The teacher instructed. No one really knew his name. He was just, 'teacher'.

"Ugh, this is boring!" Ariel complained to Yuki.

"Its fine, we will get through this!" Yuki encouraged

"Sure, we will, your to innocent for your own good," Ariel giggled

"Am not!"

"Are so!"

"Am not!"

"So!"

"Not!"

"SO!"

"NOT!"

"GIRLS!" The teacher called, the two girls giggled. In the back the silver haired boy rolled his eyes and got back to work. He just hopped the day would pass. He wanted to make things right with his sister, and his crush. These past few days have been confusing, for everyone. Nothing has been the say since... that.

"Mr. Kiryu! No sleeping in my classroom!" The teacher shouted which caused Zero to jolt up. Awake, alert, mad...

"Fine!"

"Don't snap at me Mr.!" Zero just growled in response. The teacher went back to teaching.

(Yuki's POV)

"Yuki Cross, Zero Kiryu, and Ariel Wild, to Headmaster Cross' office please" The intercom announced

"Huh, wonder what he wants?" I asked

"I have no clue," Ariel giggled as the three of us walked down the hallways. Ariel I could tell was ignoring Zero. All he wanted to do was get out of here. That was obvious. We arrived at his office, as we did, there stood a boy, about as tall as Zero. He had short blonde hair, and blue eyes. He wore the day class uniform.

"Ariel, Zero, this is more for you then Yuki, but anyway, please meet Tyler, the new vampire hunter!" Mr. Cross smiled

"Hi, I'm Yuki!" I smiled

"I'm Ariel Wild, Vampire Hunter," The red head said

"Zero Kiryu, Vampire Hunter" The silver head said.

"Tyler," Was all the blonde said

(Tyler's POV)

"Hi! I'm Yuki!" A girl with short brown hair smiled, she had reddish-brownish eyes.

"I'm Ariel Wild, Vampire Hunter," A girl with red hair and one light blue, and one dark blue eye.

"Zero Kiryu, Vampire Hunter," The guy with silver hair, and lavender eyes said. He looked unamused, and didn't want to be here.

"Tyler," I stated, sticking my hand out. The female hunter shook. Where Zero didn't, strange.

(Okami's POV)

"Finally!" Rima said, a little bit to excited.

"What?" I questioned

"Oh, nothing!" She smirked, she was obviously hiding something and I was determined to find out. I saw Zero standing on the sidelines like always, when I looked over to see Yuki and Ariel, there was another boy. Blonde hair, and a hunter. I know Ariel, and Zero, would never kill me, but this new guy. I'm scared.

As we were all walking, the guys flirted with the day class girl. I didn't care, as we were about to enter the class rooms, I ran into the woods. I ran to my tree, the one I have been going to since I arrived at this hell hole. I sat under the tree.

"Is this seat taken?" A all to familiar voice said

"I guess not," I sighed, he sat down next to me.

"I'm sorry about everything,"

"Its fine, I guess," I sighed

"Okami, I'm really sorry, I realized something," He stated

"What?" I asked

"I love you," He said quietly, then he leaned and kissed me, on the lips. I was in shock but, I kissed back.
