Ashen's POV
"Kyle, I really love you. I know you think I'm just being a usual teenager about this, but I can feel it in every part of my being… I love you." The words leave my mouth again when Kyle doesn't say anything, clearly stunned.
I avert my eyes away from him because I don't want to see his face expression.
Suddenly, there's a voice in my head that refuses to let me stay quiet. It tells me Kyle really needs to know that what I feel for him is not fleeting, not some casual attraction. I love him. I can feel it, it's undeniable. It's maddening.
"I jus..." Words try to leave my mouth again, but this time he cuts me off.
"Ashen…"
Instinctively, I move toward him and cover his mouth with my palm.
I know what he wants to say. I know how angry his words are going to be, how harsh. He'll remind me of how young I am for him.. even when I know I'm not as young as he thinks, if I ever showed him my wolf, wolf he still think I'm young for him?
