Chapter two

"You think you can hide from me?" Hands slide around mu hips fingers digging into mu skin. Im pulled back in to a hard body. My whole body goes ridged as i take short swallow breaths. 'Dont react' I tell myself. 'It only makes it worse.'

A nose trails along my neck up into my hair. "Hmm so sweet smelling." His hands start to slide around me till they are flat on my stomach. He moves them till they are resting just under my breast making me pull in a deep breath and holding it. 

One hand comes up gripping my chin turning my head to look at him over my shoulder.

"I told you that you would be mine, and mine alone," A low growl comes from him just before his teeth sink into the skin of my neck. I sit up as a scream leaves me my hands go to my neck frantically feeling all over searching for blood. When I didnt feel any I lowered my hand looking at them. 

My eyes scan the room taking in what around me. I let out a breath when I see Im in my room. 

"God it was just a dream." I whisper however it is one that never goes away. Some times its yellow eyes haunting my dreams. I swaer that some times I can feel his breath on my neck.

"Lyrica!" Mom worried voice comes from outside my door. "Are you alright?" The handle wiggles but I had locked when I came in, It was a new habit I formed Knowing full well that a locked door wouldnt keep him out. But it gave me a sense of safteyness, even if it would only break in the end. 

"Lyrica!" Her voice was raised now cause I had no answered her. But then there was a hard knock, 

"Ly." My dads voice came, worried laced in it. This made me move, Swinging my legs over the side of the bed I hurried to the door knowinf full well he will bust it in. Pulling it open seeing both my parents standing there worry filled their faces. 

"Hi." I crock out.

Both of them raised their brows at me. "Hi?" Mom says. "We thought something had happened we heard you screaming."

"Oh." I rub the back of my neck. "Sorry for that, Must have been a bad dream. I guess."

"Bad dream?" Dad steps closer searching my face. I quickly nod, making sure to school my face I can't tell them. Pulling in a deep breath, 

"Yeah, Sorry my roommates watched some scary movies earlier this week ahd I guess it kinda freaked me out." The know I hate those kind of movies. I wasnt never one to watch those they always scared the life out of me. 

Mom is the first to chuckle, "Oh you silly girl." She  stepped forward pulling me into a hug. But my Dad just stood there eyes on me watching me. Crap does he know Im lying?"

Mom let me go and moved to the side. I stepped closer to my dad, 

"Hi Daddy." Knowing thats would soften him. Im a mommas girl but im also a Daddys girl just as much and I know how to make my dad soften. I see that faint smile appear before he reaches out grabbing me pulling me into hiim as he hugs me. I have to fight the urge to cry as his arms hold me tightly to him. 

Safe, Im safe here in his arms, No one can touch me here. 

He pulls back placing a kiss to my cheek. "Hows my faviortie daughter?"

Rolling my eyes, "Im your only daughter."

"Yep and that makes you my favorite."

That made me laugh as I slap his arm. "Im fine Daddy,"

"How long you staying?" 

"Well. we have the whole week off, and since all my roommates left for home I figured I would visit."

I couldnt tell him I didnt want to stay alone in that house. 

"Thats good you need a break once and a while too. You work so hard at your studies,"

Smiling at hi, Dad has always told me how pround he is of me. 

"Crap, I got dinner going I need to get back to it." Mom says as she wheels around hurring back down the hall. 

I frown, "Dinner? What time is it?" I turned my head getting a glance out the window, It was dark out, already, 

"Its late in the evening. You slept most the day, But you momma said you looked tired so we didnt want to bother you, we wanted you to rest up."

I know I was feeling wiped out during the drive here but I usally do not sleep like that. But with everything going on I get run down trying to stay on my toes.

"Hey, why don't you get washed up and come down." Dad says as he rubs his hands up and down my upper arms, He places a quick kiss to my temple then turns walking back down the hall. 

Shutting my door I lean back agsint it letting out a sigh. I know Im lying to them and its killing me but I do not want to worry them, and its not like they can do anything. 

Pushing off the door I move to my bathroom washing my face I double check my neck making sure there really isnt any marks there. When I didnt see any I hung my head letting out a small breath. 

"It wasnt really Lyrica." I say to myself, 

Turning to grab the towel I dry my hands then pull my sleeves back down my fingers graze the rough skin making my hand freeze. Letting my eyes wonder to my arm they stop on the scars there. I can feel the burn of tears in my eyes, 

Running my finger tip along the mark it paler not faded just a bit but I do not think it will ever go completely away. 

Jerking my sleeve the rest of the way down I focus on getting my emotions under control, cant let them pick up on them and Dad will if Im not settled. Lifting my head I walk out of my room, and down to the kitchen I can hear my parents in there. I stop at the doorway a smile crosses my face as I watch them. 

Dad is making a mess as mom is scolding him. but he steals a kiss as she moves to clean it up but then he pinched her butt making her squeal swatting at him with the towel. 

My heart warms seeing them, that the kind of love. Not someone who only wants to posses me and control me but who truly loves me for me. I do not want to be some one property or have to obey every command he says cause he thinks he owns me. Just because Im a human I want to be someone equal. 

Shaking the thoughts from my head I step in, my movement makes them break apart mom face is beet red I dont say anything just move to grab the plates. Ill go set the table and leave them two at it. 

This is what I needed, My parnets and and no one else. 

We chatted as we ate. I told them about my classes and the rotations. everything, except one thing. 

Dad told me about the patrols and how there seems to be more attacks happening and more rogues seem to be showing up each day. How they seem to be getting smart or braver. 

"Oh , I almost forgot, The Alpha wants everyone in the meeting hall tomrrow." 

"Why, whats going on?" Mom asked, 

"Do not know, he said something about a annoucement, Its in the evening so I will come get you two after my patrol."

Something settled deep with in me, A reatless washing over me. 

"Im going to go up and get some hoemwork done," I tell them as I stand picking up my plate to put it in the sink, I needed to get out of there, My heart seemed to suddenly beat like it was going to jump out of my chest. 

"Sure sweety," Mom calls out but Im already moving dropping my plate in the sink and making a dash for my room,
