Sebastian Lykos' POV

I did not know what happened there. One thing I was looking at her and the other, I was kissing the shit out of Karisa Papadopoulos. I was insane that way. Maybe this happened when I have been in recluse for a month.

"Hmm," Karisa was protesting as she was pounding her hands on my chest. Then I took her hands into my hands and I was pushing her backward before her back was hitting the tree trunk that was near us.

She gasped and with that, I slipped my tongue inside her mouth. Her eyes were widened before I was exploring her mouth. She tasted of raspberry and I loved it. I think I will never get enough of her mouth.

She was resisting me at first but when I plunged my tongue inside her mouth, she moaned before she wounded her hands around my neck. I was being pulled closer by Karisa as I can sense that her erected buds were grazing my bare chest.

"Oh, God!" She moaned before I was moving to kiss her neck and jaws. She closed her eyes as she was feeling my touch. I bet her skin was on fire like how her hands were roaming my naked chest was.

"We need to stop," I gasped as I was kissing her neck. She angled her neck for me to kiss her even more.

"Do you want to?" She asked as I was pulling her closer before my naked lower part was hitting her hips. Then, she opened her eyes as my hardness was hitting her core.

"Stop," she said as she was pushing me off her. I stepped back as I was looking at her before she was breathing hard. I did as well.

"Why did you do it?" She asked me as I was tilting my head, I did not know what she was referring to. She recovered before she was closing her eyes and she was breathing heavily.

"That kiss. Why did you do it?" She asked before she opened her eyes and she was looking at me.

'Tell her the truth,'

'She will be yours,'

'Make her understand,'

My wolf said as I was looking at her, regarding her. How much has she known about our tight community as Sam was her best friend? Did she know what Sam was? Then, I smirked at her.

Slap!

My head was on the side as I was looking at the ground. I felt the sting on my left cheek as I was turning to look at Karisa. She was breathing hard before her eyes were brimming with tears. My wolf purred at her sadness but knowing that I was the cause of her sadness, I stopped myself from hugging her.

"You jerk!" She shouted before she was moving away from me. I can still smell her raspberry scent as she was moving out of the lake area. I know there was a shortcut to the town through here but I don't follow after her.

Why don't I? I have no idea.

Karisa Papadopoulus' POV

He was despicable! I cannot believe I ever let him kiss me. I was a whore! I thought as I was trying to get away from him as far as possible from Sebastian Lykos. I know that Sam told me that he was afraid of the crowd and he was a recluse.

But how can he be a jerk when he did not like to be in other people's presence?

I was wiping the tears that were falling down my cheeks as I was trying to get away from this forest and Sebastian. I don't know where I was going as I was running in the forest.

All the knowledge that my father taught me escaped me.

All I cared about was to be out of here and away from Sebastian. Then, I stopped as I was coming into the area of the forest that I never have seen before.

I was looking around as I was trying to orient myself. The sun has gone down and I think I might not be out of here if I did not find the trail to get out of the forest tonight.

"It's okay, Karisa. You can do it," my father's voice was echoing in my head right now as I was trying to make sense of my position. I was looking at the trees to know if I was in any dangerous situation but thankfully, there were no claw marks or anything like that.

At least there were no wolves or bears around.

I was making my way back to where I came from but I was lost as the trees were looking the same.

"Shit, I don't think I will be home for dinner," I mumbled before I was looking around for my overnight stay in the forest. I turned around before I saw a cave that was closed by the vines. I was debating myself if I wanted to get inside or not. I bit my lips before I went inside the vines.

And what a surprise it was!

There was a bed and a kitchen that was equipped for someone to stay over. Even though it was a cave, it was nice and proper. I think I might stay here for the night before I continued my search tomorrow.

I walked inside the cave as I was looking at the cave before I found there was a hidden lake that has been prepped with a plumbing system. If anyone looked at it right now, I think it has been designed but an engineer.

I smiled to myself before I was looking for clean clothes. There was none before I saw towels in the cabinet. It was clean and was not being used. I think someone did stay here once in a while as the lamps were filled with gasoline before I was lighting it up.

I took the lamp and I went to the kitchen to see if there was any food left for me to eat for the night. I saw an icebox and opened it before I saw the content of the icebox. It was filled with meat and meat before I went to the other icebox and it has some veggies and fruits. I don't know how to cook the meat for tonight but I will settle for fruits for now.

I took some grapes and cherries before I went to the opening of the cave. I was tempted to sit on the bed before I saw a table with 2 chairs. I took my seat there and devoured the fruits. I did not realize that I was hungry before I was full of fruits. Now, I was thirsty.

I went to the kitchen as I was carrying the lamp with me. I was looking in the icebox for the mineral water and I saw there were packs of water bottles. I took one and drank it until my eyes were sleepy.

I don't know if I should sleep or not because I was afraid if the owner of the cave will come and accused me of trespassing their place. I was sitting at the table as I heard the thunder outside. I did not know it was going to rain tonight. I was glad to find this cave when I did not know where to go.

But my relief was short-lived.

Because in front of me, I saw a huge brown wolf with blood-red eyes as it was staring at me and when the thunder was hitting the ground, I screamed, knocking the lights out.
