Lycan's POV
I loved the idea that someone somewhere was made for you for ever, through out the eternity. Your soul carried a signature that their soul carried, behind the flesh you both were entirely the same energy, every ounce of you is them and every corner of them is you.
For me, Kaya was that person. I didn't know if anybody would understand but when I stared into her eyes, I met myself staring back at me. I wanted to attune to her, to match our heart beat, our steps, the rhythm when we had sex I wanted to dig myself into her and stay there forever, sex for us was a vivid and rare display of one soul In two bodies trying to reconnect and become one.
I was resurfacing, and the pain was coming back, haunting me, making me want to claw my chest and take out my bruised heart and show it to the moon goddess and to the universe and say 'Take, have a look and tell me if you created this heart to have this much scars, look at it and tell me if you've ever seen one heart as bruised and beaten up as this '
"He's waking up." My mother said.
I opened my eyes, it was morning, Elvis was standing at the foot of my bed, staring at me as if he knew something unholy yet he wouldn't confess.
Crescent was in the room too, So was Tide and Alex.
Alex walked towards me.
"I'm sorry. I heard what happened." He told me.
I didn't know what to say, I thought that if I woke up it would be a dream.
"I'm going to find her." I said to them
"She doesn't want you Lycan, you're very complicated. Too much for her to handle, the girls... She told me it makes her stupid. She came to me, I didn't go to her." My mother said
" We will start all over again." I said.
"You can't find her when you can't smell her." Tide said to me.
" I can find anybody, I'm rich, remember. " I replied.

The coffee was not as good as the one I used to have at Lycan's house but I guess that I had to get to used to living as a normal human.
I threw the paper cup in the trash at the side of the road and I looked around to take the scene.
There was a sign that said vacancy. There was a tiny voice yelling that I needed to go and apply.
"I'm a graduate dammit, I didn't go to school to work in a perfume shop." I scoffed but my tummy would not feed itself and my bank account wouldn't just add up.
I sighed and walked into the shop.
"Hi, I saw the sign out front that said vacancy." I explained to the girl that was wearing the shop's T-shirt.
She had doe eyes and brown hair.
"Yay, a new employee. It's so good to have someone new around here." The girl said.
"But, I haven't applied yet." I told her.
She chuckled and I watched her take the sign off.
"Don't be silly, we just needed one more person, come let me show you the manager's office so you can start working." She said, she had a bubbly, sweet and charismatic aura about her. " I'm Cherry, what's your name?." She asked.
"I'm Kaya." I told her.
"Kayana, Kanata, Kamari... Or just Kaya?." She asked.
"Just Kaya." I told her.
She opened a door.
"We have a new employee." Cherry said to the manager who I hadn't seen yet
It was a man, he was short, he had a nice smile and stoky hands that suited his chubby body.
"Hi, I'm Richard, nice to meet you. We can discuss the pay in my office of you would just come in." Richard said to Kaya.

" A thousand dollars a week, not as bad as I expected." I confessed although the shop was pretty big and looked expensive.
"What's the name?." The girl with black hair asked me.
She was wearing the businesscs T-shirt but she had styled hers, cutted out the bottom to make it a crop top. She was wearing baggy jeans that I really lied and she looked dope as hell.
"Kaya," I replied not wanting to show much interest in her, I've had my fair share of friends, just One and she tried to kill me.
"I'm Arianne." She muttered blowing the bubble from her bubble gum.
"You're pretty." She said after staring at me for a while but she didn't say it in the admirer point of view, it was like an observation that didn't sit well with her.
"Thank you." I told her.
"You can start today you know." Cherry said interrupting whatever was going on between I and Arianne.
"I don't... I can't start today, I've got to find accomodation." I told cherry.
"OMG, this is so crazy I happen to be searching for a roommate." Cherry told me.
I thought about it for the little time I had.
" That's nice, where do you live?. " I asked her.
" Not very far from here." She told me.
"How much is the pay?." I asked her.
"Cherry, how long would I keep reminding you of your naivety before you finally realize that you should get a fucking brain. Don't you watch crime series, she could be a sociopath.. a serial killer, she could murder you in your fucking sleep, wake up bitch!." Arianne said to Cherry and when I turned to look at her she shot me a glare.
"I'm sorry but I think you should mind your own business if you don't want to get stabbed." I said to Arianne.
she scoffed.
" I hate you already bitch." She told me
"Come here with your pretty face trying to win everybody over." She said with bitter filled voice.
"Please pay little attention to Arianne, she has behavioral issues." Cherry said.
It really made me laugh, but my laugh was cut short when Arianne did the unimaginable.
