"How could you forget me? Why? Are you playing with me right now?" Liam asked as he grabbed her and took her out of the class to the garden in the school.
Layna released herself from the clutches of Liam looking confused, "are you okay? do you smoke?"
Liam looked at the genuine confusion on her face and felt frustrated, "heck I'm not okay.... wake up one morning and you've forgotten all about me"
"You are crazy .. If I knew you why would I forget you? not even losing memory but forgetting only one person? Does that sound logical? are you out of your damn mind?"
"Layna... In this garden I revealed to you that you were a werewolf"
Layna gasped, "I don't know how on earth you heard that but it's not true... I and May were talking about our next Halloween costumes"
"I also told you that I was a vampire"
She cocked her brows,"so what if I am a werewolf? I found out myself on my birthday, when I strolled to the park."
"you said it was your birthday so why did you leave your party for the park?"
"I don't know... I just felt like "
"Layna...." he sighed "I told you to.... you also made a wish that night to .." he paused abruptly obviously remembering something he overlooked.
"you're stalking me?... what did I wish for then?"
"you tell me" he squinted his eyes looking at her questioningly
"ha.... I wished for someone to love me the way I am... stupid wish right? funny how I'm chatting comfortably with a stranger "
Liam looked at Layna and realised that her wish to forget him had worked. He had to admit that his heart felt heavy watching her look at him like a stranger instead of the usual love-filled gaze.
Tears filled his eyes and he realised that he loved her. The vampire loved the little wolf. And now she had forgotten him, she had forgotten everything including her own feelings.
"why are you crying?" layna asked
"I realised something painful and quite funny" he said smiling
"oh... well I hope you won't just grab me the way you did today because I really don't know you but you're quite a stalker" Layna smiled strolling away.
"She was right... I really did hurt her... Without me in her memories she's smiling again... ha..."
Liam arrived home quite early that evening looking all sullen.
His mother, the empress Ki asked him,
"did you meet her today?"
He turned to face his mother and asked warily, "who?"
"the girl... red haired werewolf "
"mum... I swear I'll stay away from her.. please don't...."
"don't what?"
"don't tell dad"
"Liam... you hurt her didn't you? why did you tell her all those things?"
"I.... I can't fall in love with a werewolf... our races our enemies... I can't betray the vampires"
"you little fool... the vampires don't deserve your loyalty... they betrayed your dad, your real father"
"what?"
"that's it... just make amends with her... she's your destined mate"
"mum... about my father stuff you were sayi...."
"forget it.. you'll know when the time is right?"
The next day Liam arrived school but with a bouquet of flowers. He had just placed them on Layna's desk when May dragged him outside.
"I don't give two fucks whatever it is you're doing but I won't have you talking to Layna, do you understand? You can't just hurt her and when she finally forgets you, you want to start the cycle all over again. The first met was a mistake, you were the only one who knew what she was but now I know everything I won't hesitate to kill you before you hurt her"
"I appreciate your concern for her May but I'm sincere now"
"keep lying... do I look like a fuckin' three years old? you insulted and humiliated her till she tried to commit suicide and you still didn't care. Now she's sick, gastroenteritis from the days spent getting drunk on an empty stomach over you. now she doesn't even know why she's sick and you wanna cause more trouble?"
"I didn't know" he sighed looking sad
"trash that look 'cause it ain't working on me. Now you know leave her the hell alone!!!" May left him and stormed off back to class.
