Chapter 21
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

Leilani- Arriving at the pack, we were greeted by the Alpha himself. He was around Eric’s age and they seemed to be good friends. I wasn’t sure what to think about him, since he kept glancing at me as if he were trying to figure me out. “Oh, by the way, this is Leilani, the girl I was telling you about.” Eric said halfway through their conversation about how long it has been since they saw each other last. I hadn’t even realized he hadn’t introduced me, but the moment he did the expression on the Alpha’s face changed. As if recognition hit him, his eyes widened in surprise as a large smile appeared on his face. He was a handsome guy, but not in the way Eric was. “It is nice to finally meet you. You can call me Kellan.” Kellan held out his hand to me, but I just looked at it as if it were a foreign object. Slowly he pulled back his hand and his smile faded slightly. I hadn’t meant to offend him, I just didn’t like the way he had been staring at me. It wa

Eric-When we left Kellan’s place, we headed back to Black Fang. Instead of stopping anywhere, we drove straight through. The entire drive, Leilani wouldn’t say a word.Every time I had asked a question, she would just shrug. We were just about to pull into the garage, and I was getting frustrated. What happened in California had to have bothered her, I know it did me.I hated that she wasn’t talking to me since I knew whatever she was thinking about was weighing heavy on her mind. Pulling into the garage, I parked the car and turned off the engine. Neither of us made an attempt to get out of the car.“Do you want to talk about it?” I asked, turning towards her so I could see her better.Once again, she shrugged, which only pissed me off. It wasn’t that I was even mad at her, I was mad at what she has been through to cause her to be like this. With a heavy sigh, I got out of the car.I didn’t wait fo

Leilani-I had thought I could get into my room undetected. When Tate had come up behind me, he scared the living daylights out of me. At first, I had thought it had been Eric and he had caught me when I had been eavesdropping on his conversation with the Luna.Luckily it had only been Tate, who had wanted to make me an official member of the pack. After I accepted the pack as my own, he went on his way, leaving me alone. Not wanting Eric to find me, I made my way to my room and closed myself in.My heart felt like it was beating a million beats a second. I couldn’t believe what I had heard. Brook was basically telling Eric to just sign a contract with me and wait for things to work out. I remember what his reason was for wanting to sign the contract, but now it was different.Was I merely a means to an end for him? Was it really a mess that he had a contract with me? And what did she mean for him to face the music? Pacing in my room, I froze when I
