to. But, she walked straight out of her own building unnerved by it all. The fear that had clandestinely entered her life that fateful New York evening still lingered in her very psyche. Although mellowed out by her suitors’ unrelenting presence, that very same fear still haunted her every step. It was not the kind of fear you get from your basic instinct to avoid pain. It was the fear of the unknown – so much of it abounded in Hailey’s lithe frame.
    The unknown.
    For one, she still bawled over the very question left unanswered by that old wolf who tried to attack her. Anton’s uncle, Castor, after his last breath escaped, never revealed why Hailey was so special. She knew it wasn’t because she was a virgin, because it was no secret, even to Caleb, that she wasn’t. So what could it have been?
    As she hurriedly walked past a throng of home-goers, she mused at her fate. She was just a farm girl with a sad past who happened to cross the paths of two alpha werewolves. What could have made her so special? But that was a question to be answered much later, for it was a question written and flashed upon her screen that was more imminent, and frankly, much more terrifying.
    “Do you love him?” -Caleb Storm
    Does she? Did she just choose one of the wealthiest men in all of the state who had just saved her life, but was still a complete mystery to her? Did she just forgo a friend, a confidant – who had stayed by her even through this ordeal – one whom she has leaned on for her entire stay so far in the big city?
    She knew it was too premature to answer the question then and there. To say no would mean to let go of what could be and not experience anymore of the ecstasy of Anton’s rippling abs grazing her taut skin. But to say yes would be to lose Caleb’s supple kisses and wanting arms gripping her frame in an embrace of sheer affection. She needed time to weigh things out, and she knew she couldn’t do it laying there beside that heaving pile of sex that was Anton Dominguez’s sculpted body.
    She didn’t know where to go though. All she knew that gave her the kind of solace she needed was this old diner few blocks from her apartment building. “Tony’s” was its name. They served the best pancakes and eggs that side of the borough. She needed a plate of something delicious after slaving away underneath Anton’s chest. The restaurant wasn’t so shabby. It had this nice ice cream parlor feel to it like those in old-timey movies. The counters where stainless steel, which showed warped reflections of faces and bodies. The waiters wore these cheesy plaid uniforms with white vests covered in pins and buttons.
    The owner, Tony, stayed behind the cash register as he gave Hailey a wave towards a seemingly empty booth near the back. Tony knew this was her favorite booth and Hailey knew Tony knew this.
    She gave the old man a smile as she made her way to her table. But it wasn’t at all that empty. A figure was slumped down on the table, not noticing her approach. As if feeling her shadow, the man stood up and propped himself before trying to offer her the seat Hailey was taking no matter what.
    “You’re here.” Hailey quipped as she eyed the blond man’s half eaten plate of pancakes and eggs.
    “I knew you’d come.” He said.
    “Please don’t make me answer your question Caleb.” Hailey pleaded as she rested herself atop the smooth leather upholstered booth.
    “I… I didn’t mean to pry. I just… I’m not really sure what I was supposed to do.” He looked down. “I’ve always loved you.” Caleb continued, but Hailey protested.
    “No. Let me just get this off of my chest Hail.” Caleb raised his voice slightly out of frustration. “No way am I going to let that mutt win. I fought for you too, and I will still fight. You can’t say you love him. I refuse to believe you do.” His eyes started to well up with tears.
    “Sure I lied about who I was, but you couldn’t expect me to go around
