Chapter 7: A Very Bad Wolf

*Roharu*

Who could have imagined or predicted this? She is the one. I came here looking for an old-time friend, a pure soul like no other, someone I could trust. And I found her; she had been with me all this time.

-'Does it change your plans?'- Xavier brings a question to my attention.

I look at him and nod. We are driving back to the city, and she fell asleep on my shoulder, my arm holding her tight to me as I look at him. -'It changes some things…'- I say to him as I think about it.

My mind is clouded; all I want is to mark her and claim her. I want to take her and ravage her in every possible way. I want to lick every inch of her body and make her beg for more, but she is still human. And I need her human.

-'We are approaching her apartment, the one registered under her name,'- Xavier points out and I look through the window. It is already night; she is exhausted. I don't want to leave her alone but she was adamant to come back to her place.

I look down at her and softly lift her face to mine with my fingers under her chin. I can't help it and I lean down to kiss her lips softly. I feel goosebumps and I shudder, still trying to get used to this addictive feeling. She wakes up and keeps the kiss for a few more seconds before pulling away.

Her head tilts to the side as she recognizes where we are.

"How did you? Nevermind…" She says and chuckles. I smile at her and she sighs. "Thank you, Ro…"

"For? Kissing you? Your welcome," I smirk and reply.

She rolls her eyes smiling. "I am not going to say thank you for that…" I missed those rolling eyes.

I adjust her glasses and press my forehead against hers. What am I doing? I kiss her again, and I delight myself in the feeling of how her body reacts to me; the symphony of her heartbeats and the skin filled with goosebumps, her blushing cheeks, and her erratic breathing, she even tightens her legs together. I want to take her right now.

But she breaks us apart and I am, again, astonished with her willpower. She manages to fight this and break it. "I need to go now…"

"Yes, you have said that more than once. Are you not happy to see me, Enna?" I ask with a certain level of frustration.

She blinks in surprise and seems to think about her answer. I want to read her d*mn thoughts! "Ro, it has been 10 years… I have learned to be alone and protect myself from everything and… everyone… I treasure my solitude. You… you are a ghost from the past so far… I don't know what you are doing here aside from the little you told me. I don't know for how long. I can't risk getting emotionally invested with you!" She says with some anger.

I smirk and put my fingers under her chin again and I am glad that she lets me. "Let us have dinner tomorrow, and I will explain more… ok?"

She curls her lips into a smile and that makes me smile. "Dinner? How romantic Alpha Lancaster!" She teases me.

I grin and pull her close to me, pressing my lips on hers and nibbling her lower one, enjoying her whimper and gasp. "That is as romantic as you might see me… I will show you other sides of me if you invite me over to your apartment now."

She pulls away and shakes her head. "You are a very bad wolf…" She says with a frown, and I laugh.

"I like that nickname, are you Red Riding Hood? Maybe we can re-write that fairytale," I grin.

She opens the door and steps outside, closing the door again without waiting for me to go out as well. I need to understand what she said, and how she behaves. But she is my half, she is my true Luna, and she needs to understand I am going to get her.

She looks at me through the window and sighs. "Whatever dirty thoughts are going through your mind, you better put them in order Ro… I am not a toy. I will see you tomorrow for lunch if you reduce your entourage and draw less attention to yourself. I can't have such displays in the school every day."

I laugh and nod. "As you wish, see you tomorrow… sweet dreams, my Enna."

She smiles as she hears me say that, the blush in her cheeks is pure delight. "Good night and until tomorrow, Ro…" and then turns around and walks into the building without looking back.

How she has changed! I need to be careful with her before I screw things up. As we start to drive back, I think about these things. She called me a ghost from the past, and I have been long away from her. She said she had to learn to be alone and protect herself. -'I want you to find out about her past 10 years, all you can… what happened to her…'-

Xavier nods. -'On it.'-

This will be a challenge, and it will slow my plans, but I want to make her trust me again, blindly, as she did before. To make her want to come with me willingly, as I deal with everything else. -'I will need to set a meeting with the remaining people alive from the former Council. Let's start to get the ball rolling.'-
