A/N: Alright guys, back to Brittany's POV.

After she fell unconscious.

***

Opening my eyes felt really painful but I managed to do that anyways.

I looked beside me only to see Cole's beautiful blue eyes staring at me.

He looked angry and relieved at the same time.

"You're awake!". He said.

"I sure am". I said, standing up.

I walked to the bathroom to rinse my face.

I spotted the mark of fangs on my neck.

I touched spot where he bit me and flinched at the pain.

Wow! It still hurts.

I looked really pale. Dark circles under my eyes with my hair in a total mess.

I needed a really good bath.

I walked back to the room to pick my clothes.

I searched the closet and picked out a T-shirt and jean pants along with my underwear.

I had a long shower and brushed my teeth.

I put on my clothes and walked back to the room with my hair still dripping wet.

I had a feeling that Cole was going to talk about what happened.

He was still on the bed relaxing.

He was putting on a white T-shirt with black pants. His hair was kinda messy probably because he ran his hand through it several times.

I must admit, he looked pretty hot.

"Like what you see huh?" He said wriggling his eyebrows.

I rolled my eyes.

"Get the hair dryer and other things from the drawer there". He said, pointing at a chest if drawers.

I dried my hair and straightened it to avoid talking to Cole.

"Britt, we need to talk". He said after some minutes of silence.

Okay, I knew this was coming.

"Why did you go to the other side of the house?"

He wasted no time in going straight to the point.

"Um, I wanted to see the other side of the house".

I couldn't come up with a better excuse.

"Do you have any idea how dangerous going there is?!?" He asked.

The anger he'd been trying to suppress escalated.

"B- but I went with other pets". I defended.

"Did you ask me? I only allowed you to go to the garden not the other side of the house!!" He yelled.

I could tell he was really angry 'cause his eyes were already turning a deeper shade.

"I- I'm sorry. I didn't know it'd be dangerous for me to go there. I t- thought I was safe especially because I was wearing my c- collar".

I stuttered in fear and hurt.

I hate being yelled at.

His eyes softened a little bit. Only a little bit.

"Your collar? You think your collar would save you?!? You should know your place by now!" He yelled.

Yeah, as a pet.

I've forgotten who I really am. I'm nothing but a pet.

I got too carried away with the nice treatment from Cole.

I was beginning to feel like I was a princess but I was nothing but a mere pet with no value.

My eyes were glassy with tears.

It was taking so much effort to stop the tears from falling.

"Yeah, I'm a pet with no value". I said, my voice cracking a bit.

I felt Cole's cold hands on mine.

I flinched at the feeling of his cold hands on me.

"I didn't mean that Britt, I was too angry. I let my-". He said.

"No, you're right. I've forgotten my place. I've forgotten that I'm just a mere pet". I spat.

"Britt,"

"I'll always remember my place Master Cole. I'll always remember that I'm a pet". I said.

With that, I stood up, spread my blanket on the floor and lay on it.

After making sure that I wasn't facing Cole, I let my tears fall as I sobbed silently.

I didn't want him to think that I was weak. I'd let my guard down before.

Cole's POV

I felt like shit!

I let my anger take control once more and I said terrible things to Brittany.

Her silent sobbing had stopped.

So that means she's asleep.

She slept on her blanket tonight. I decided to let her have her space. I'll sort things out with her later.

I hate to admit it but I actually miss seeing her peaceful face in sleep with her cute snores and the warmth coming from her body.

Cole, what the hell? What are you saying?!??

A voice said at the back of my head.

It hurts to say the truth but I actually miss all those things.

I don't know why and I don't want to know why but it's the truth.

We have just three weeks till we go to see my dad.

I'm dreading it so much and I wouldn't want to think about it now.

I have to discuss it with Brittany but we aren't really in good terms right now.

And my coming of age ceremony is something I also didn't want to think about so I closed my eyes, waiting for sleep to overcome me.

A/N : Hey beautiful people!

I know it's short but I didn't break my promise of making it longer than the last one. I'm still sorry for the short chapter.

I kind of like it.
