That Which We Consume Chapter Sixteen
June came with a raging heat, sticky and humid. The weather forecast was looking consistently hot for the whole week, thank goodness for Frederick Jones; having been the genius who created the air conditioner. Officer Rollards had paid me another visit to tell me that one of my neighbors claimed to have seen a young man hop over the fence in my backyard before hearing a loud bang. The bang they heard must have been the sound of my back door being turned into splinters. Officer Rollards was looking for anyone else who had any information on what happened, but I hoped they would just give up. If the police found out what really happened, Lio and everyone else who wasn’t human would be in danger. Celeste and I sat on my front porch painting each others’ toenails. She had chosen a clear polish with a rainbow shine for herself and I had chosen a cherry red with glitter. It had been a long time since we had some girl time. “So where’s Lio?” She asked, focused on carefully painting m

By the time we got to the Eleri County carnival, the sun had started to set. All of the rides were lit up now. I was actually happy to make it here when the lights were on; I loved how it looked all lit up at night. I could hear people screaming with terror on the Pharaoh’s boat. The ride rocked back and forth until they were close to being upside down, I never liked it. The feeling of my stomach in my chest didn’t excite me. We got our wristbands that allowed us to ride all of the rides and play the games until closing time for an unlimited amount of times. “Should we split up?” Priam asked. “We should get on some rides together first and then everyone can go ahead and do their own thing.” Lio said, looking around at the dozens of rides. Baltasar suddenly pointed ahead of us at what looked to be a four-sided, ten story tower. There were people strapped into seats on all four sides and each seat held five people. While we watched, the four sets of seats suddenly dropped

When we got back to Delwyn later that night, Lio’s people went home. Baltasar went to Celeste’s house, and Lio came to spend the night at my house. It was Githinji’s duty to keep the pack in line for the night. I sat on the right side of my bed, brushing my hair into a ponytail. I didn’t feel like twisting it up tonight so I did a blow-out. Lio was coming out of the bathroom from a shower. I could feel heat from the steam seeping into the room. He came and stood in front of me, one hand behind his back. He hadn’t put a towel around his waist but he did dry off. I looked up at him, setting my brush down on the bed slowly next to me. “Lio, what are you hiding?” I asked, narrowing my eyes. He smiled, but he didn’t reveal what he had. “I wanted to give this to you when we were at the carnival but, you weren’t too happy with me at the time.” He said. He took his hand out from behind his back and hanging from his fingers was a gold necklace. The charm was a solid gold wolf tha

Saturday was here, the big day. I was having kittens. Lio kept trying to reassure me that I had nothing to worry about, but he didn’t know my mother. We went to Edison’s Food SuperMarket to get what we needed for tonight’s dinner. I told Lio that I was going to cook and he eagerly volunteered to help me. It was a nice warm seventy four degrees outside so I wore my yellow and orange spaghetti strap sundress with a blue jean half jacket. I chose my orange wedge heel shoes with the look. Lio was wearing a mint green, long sleeve dress shirt with a solid gray tie and gray dress pants. His dress shoes were the same solid mint green and he had his hair flowing free. I kept getting strong whiffs of his cologne and I thought I would faint from how good it smelled. It wasn’t even the fact that it was men’s cologne; it was because it was on him. I walked down an aisle that had the pasta and rice while Lio pushed the cart. He pretty much fought me for it when we came in, I told him he spo

My parents left around ten o’ clock. Before they left, my mom made sure that she pressed the issue of me coming to visit more often. After such a tension filled dinner, Lio and I got comfortable in my bed. My head was resting on his bare chest, my right hand on his abs. He had one arm around my waist and the other tucked under his head. “So what did you think of my parents?” I watched his expression as he answered. “They seem like very good people, I like them. I can see that they love you very much. You come from a good family.” He said kissing the top of my head. “I’m relieved to hear it. I thought they might have scared you off.” I snuggled against him more. “Not a chance. Do you have anything planned for tomorrow?” He asked with a hopeful chime to his voice. “Me and Celeste are going to have a ladies night. We’re going to the nail salon and then to see a movie.” I said, smiling up at him. The next day, Celeste and I met up at the mall sometime around
That Which We Consume Chapter Twenty One
I was relieved to find out that one of Lolita’s wolves had driven my car to their house when she took me hostage. I didn’t need something else to worry about right now. Lio drove my car back to his house; he wanted me with him tonight and I definitely did not want to be alone. We took a nice, hot shower together when we got back. It was comforting for the both of us. Lio held me in his arms tightly while the hot water rained down on us both. I rested my head against his chest with my eyes closed. Any other time we wouldn’t be able to resist being consumed by lust when we took showers together, but I had no desire to do anything. I had came too close to death tonight and that was enough to kill my sex drive. I know sometimes it could have the opposite effect for people but I wasn’t one of them. I had cried for a solid ten minutes when we got in the shower. When I finally stopped, the bathroom was only filled with the sounds of the water splashing onto the tub floor. “I almost th

The brutal whippings had ended after twenty agonizing minutes when the men finally begged for mercy. It seemed their pain was stronger than their pride. Lio had told the wolves that no one was allowed to heal them. He said, and I quote, ‘anyone caught healing them will suffer the same punishment.’ I was stunned by what Lio had done. I knew Lio had to be ruthless sometimes as the pack leader, but it still made me see him in a different light. I sat down on the couch in the basement while Lio took a shower. He invited me to join him but I refused. I couldn’t look at him without my mind replaying the memories of him beating a man until the white meat was torn. It may be petty to the others, maybe even unfair, but I wasn’t used to seeing anything like that. They couldn’t expect me to pretend as if everything was fine. I picked up the remote from the empty spot next to me and turned on the TV. When the picture showed, I could see that it was on the history channel. It wasn’t my k

I awakened the next morning curled up next to Lio. His arm was around me and my head rested on his chest. A yawn escaped my lips making me blink a couple of times. Lio was sound asleep; his chest rose and fell steadily. I heard the basement door opening and scrambled for the sheets. I quickly pulled the sheets up to my neck and pulled them up over Lio’s lower body. I’m sure if he was awake he wouldn’t care because all of them had seen him in the nude before. Baltasar came down the steps wearing a pair of dark brown boxers that were slightly loose fitting. His hair was slightly sleep tousled and his ruby colored eyes looked puffy. I sat up a little and Lio’s arm moved against me, holding me more securely. Even in his sleep he was making sure I was by his side. Baltasar came down the last step and walked up to the foot of the bed. He had his cell phone in his hand and a disturbing grin on his face. I raised an eyebrow at him. “What’s so funny?” I asked. “Funny? Nothing at a
