Leilani-
Stopping dead in my tracks, I nearly dropped the glass of water in my hand. I had thought Eric had left for the day. Seeing him walk in, caught me by surprise.
“Oh, you’re back. Did you forget something?” I practically stumbled over my words.
What was it about him that just looking at him right now has me all flustered? Maybe it was because I was still a bit off balance this morning from waking up in a strange place. It wasn’t that I wasn’t glad to be away from my old pack, it was just going to take some getting used to.
“Nope. I just figured you might be hungry, so I brought you something to eat. Brook made it, which I think you will love. She is a great cook. It was probably the best thing about her when I first met her. Of course, it wasn’t, but damn she can cook.” As he rambled on about her, I felt a sting of jealousy run through me.
There was no reason I should feel jealous of Brook, or

Leilani-It was nearly six o’clock at night when Eric woke up. By the time we got everything ready to go, it was just after seven. Eric explained we were taking his car, while a couple of warriors were taking another vehicle.I didn’t know much about vehicles, but I had never seen one like the one we were sitting in now. Eric seemed to buzz with excitement when the car started. Faster than expected, we drove out of the garage the car had been parked in.Now I understood the excitement Eric was exhibiting, I was beginning to feel it as well. When he had thrown it into gear and took off, I hadn’t prepared for the power the car had. It had been enough to press me against the seat.It was exhilarating and made my heart race with delight. He didn’t let up until we were past the gate and on the highway. When he slowed down to a legal speed, I almost wanted to tell him to go faster.“I love this car.” Eric mumbled, his

Eric-Walking into the hotel lobby with Leilani, I noticed that she seemed distracted by something. I wanted to ask her what was wrong, but I didn’t want the receptionist to over here anything. Stepping up to the desk, I gave the lady my name and told her I had reserved two rooms.The warriors I had following us, went on ahead to the next hotel. While waiting for the lady to look my reservation up, I pulled out my phone to read the text Tate sent me. Or rather the ten texts he sent me.Tate: How is it going?Tate: Have you guys stopped yet?Tate: Let me know when you guys make it to the hotel.Tate: Has she killed you yet?Tate: Everything okay?Tate: Damn it, man, answer me.Tate: Anything yet on the contract?Tate: You better get your ass back before Brooklyn goes into labor.Tate: Do I need to send a search party?Tate: I don’t care what time it is when you get to hotel, give me a call

Eric-I had moved to the bedroom, to wait for her to be finished, so I could take a shower myself. Seeing her in a black nightgown that was, rather revealing, I thought I was about to have my heart jump out of my chest. I don’t remember buying that for her, so I was sure she got it from some of the clothes Brook had given her.Either way, I knew I was royally fucked right now. The idea of just sleeping next to her was going to be a lot more difficult than I could imagine. Seeing her in a short, black, thin gown was already driving me insane with pure unadulterated lust.If she bent over, I was almost completely sure that I would get a full view of her behind, possibly even more. How in the hell was I supposed to survive the night laying next to her, when she looked like sex in all its glory? The sexiest thing of it all was, that she didn’t seem to have the slightest clue what she did to me.In fact, she seemed completely oblivious that I was s

Leilani-Whatever possessed me to kiss him was beyond me. One minute I was sleeping, having a good dream, I might add. I had been dreaming of a black wolf, that was so beautiful and majestic.It had said something to me, although I couldn’t remember what it had said. All I knew was I woke up with this intense desire to kiss him. I tried to resist it, except the more I did the harder it became.The second his lips touched mine, it was like I was transported into another time and place. My mind completely went blank and instead of being in the moment with Eric, I was standing next to a fire. I tried to turn my head to look around, except I had no control over my movements.I started to feel hot, extremely hot, almost as if I was being burned. The pain started at my ankles, growing hotter by the second. A scream pierced through the wind, making it sound as if someone was screaming right next to me.Then I realized it was me who was screaming, ex

Leilani-It was just after nine in the morning when we got back on the road. Eric has been trying to make small talk with me for the past few hours, since waking up. It wasn’t that I minded talking to him, I was just distracted by what happened last night.Still, after running everything through my head, I wasn’t sure what had occurred. From the moment I met Eric, my world has been spiraling out of control. Before I left my old pack, it wasn’t the greatest, but at least I knew what to expect.“If we get some time after we pick this guy up, I would like to take you to see the ocean. There is a pack near the coast that I think we can talk to. They know a coven of witches that aren’t far from them.” Eric spoke, bringing me out of my jumbled thoughts for a moment.“Why don’t witches and wolves get along anymore?” I asked, completely ignoring what he had said.I knew it was a long shot, but I had a f

Leilani-After washing my hands, once I was done using the restroom, I walked around the gas station a bit. Technically this was my first time ever going inside a gas station. It was fairly cool that they had a variety of different things inside the store.Figuring I was just wasting time and Eric was probably waiting on me, I left the store. The second I stepped outside a chill fell over me. It wasn’t even cold outside, so I wasn’t sure why I suddenly felt chilly. Once again, I had this urge to turn around, but I brushed it off so I could return to the car.I could see Eric’s car from here. It wasn’t that far away, but I still had this nagging feeling I needed to go back inside. It didn’t appear that Eric was back at the car, but I continued so I could wait for him.I didn’t see him anywhere, nor did I see the vehicle the warrior brought. Picking up my pace I quickly made my way to the car. When I tried to open the doo

Leilani-Panic began to fill me as they moved closer to me. Why had I listened to that voice? This was going to end badly for me, I just knew it.The first man that reached me, made a grab for me, but I quickly jumped back. The weirdest part of it all, I didn’t realize I could move that fast. A sense of knowledge filled me, miraculously giving me the know-how on how to fight.It didn’t seem like a lot, but I hoped it was enough to handle this situation. This time a second man joined the first one, both lunging forward to grab me. As if my body had a mind of its own, I spun around, while extending my leg out.I felt my foot connect with two objects. Since I was too shocked by what just transpired, I hadn’t been paying close attention to where my leg was moving. When I turned back around, I saw both men were holding their noses.Had I really kicked them in their nose? They weren’t very tall, nothing like Eric anyway, but I was

Leilani-“Are you there?” I asked aloud, forgetting I could talk to my wolf in my head.“Yes, I am.” She replied, giving me a sense that she was smiling.“What is your name?” I asked.Bringing my legs onto the seat, I sat cross-legged, while turning to keep an eye on Eric. I wasn’t sure what I could do for him, since no one else seemed concerned about it. I learned about wolfbane in school, but not how to treat it.“Violet.”I echoed her name in my mind a few times, thinking it was a beautiful name. It was also the color of my eyes, which seemed fitting. Thinking of my next question, I began to play with the ends of my hair.“Why are you just now coming out? I thought I was cursed. You being here doesn’t make any sense.” I twirled my hair around the tip of my index finger as I waited for her to reply.“With any magic, nothing is what it seems. I was t
