Chapter 15
"No, no don't," Creed rustled in his sleep causing me to wake. Stress lines covered his forehead and his brows dipped as if he was in deep concentration. I wished I could see what it was like in his head. What he went through every day trying to fight off his animal urges.
My hands itched to touch his face. Just one touch to see if I could smooth those troubling creases on his forehead. The urge to comfort him and to steal but one touch was strong.
Last night when he returned from his shower I pretended to be asleep to avoid having to face him. His wolf wanted me but I wasn't sure if the human did. Hera said we were mates. But how could we be soul mates when we were so different and had different perspectives about the world.
We were fire and ice, opposite nature's and destructive in our own way.
"I can feel you staring at me," his voice was thick and filled with sleep and my pulse quickened. His eyes flut

As I walked to the house with Hera everyone picked up their heads and looked in our direction. "They all staring at me," I whispered to Hera and she chuckled."Word to the wise El. Whispering around wolves is as subtle as screaming in a person's face." I looked at all of them who stopped what they were doing to look at me. "Goodness you guys are creeping her out," Hera told them and they looked away immediately and continued with what they were initially doing."Sorry, they just probably curious on why you here so soon."She walked onto the porch of the tall brick-colored house and pulled open the door. "It's your home now," she said extending her arm for me to walk in first. I stepped into the house and my eyes roamed the room.Natural light flooded the house as various leafy plants decorated the corners. The walls were painted an eggshell color and the room had a clean theme of whites and browns.In the center of the room was a

Creed refused to eat, drink or even look at me. It had been four days since I agreed to let the wolves take him. For four days I watched him stubbornly accept death and suffer in silence. I sat on the porch outside the packhouse. I couldn't take the tension between me and Creed anymore. The weather was changing and it looked like there was a storm rolling with how thick grey clouds huddled together to cover up the Arizona sun. "Still nothing?" Hera asked sitting down next to me. "He is stubborn," I said keeping my eyes fixed above at the sky. I've tried everything to get him to drink or eat except force-feeding him. "The full moon is in two days, Eleanora. If he doesn't eat or drink I don't know what will happen to him when he shifts. It might kill him." Hera had been repeating the same words over and over to me for the last few days. I knew what it meant. He wouldn't have the strength to stand all two

Hera looked nervous as she observed Creed from outside the infirmary. Careful for him not to see her, she stood by the door and peeped at him like a frightened child. The hold he had on this wolf pack still amazed me. They would do anything for Creed yet he hated them and wanted nothing to do with them.He had ordered that none of them come near him and they obeyed and stayed out of the room claiming it was a direct order from their Alpha and they had already disrespected him.I on the other hand didn't care what Mr. Grumpy pants had to say. He wasn't my alpha so I stayed by his side though he snarled, grunted, and growled at my presence. My skin had gotten thick around him and I was used to the hostile silence we shared.It was better than talking to each other because we would end up arguing. He refused to see anything from anyone else's perspective and that infuriated me.I sat in the corner of the room

The sound of metal scraping on metal got me to open my eyes and see Hera standing by a window. She looked out of the window longingly like she always did. She was missing her son who still didn't return. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to wake you, Luna. But the room was cold it could have used some sunlight," she said turning to face me hiding all traces of sadness."What happened?" I asked sitting up in my bed clutching my head. I felt different. I could see differently. Things were much brighter. I could smell better and the smells were overpowering each other. I could hear the sound of Hera's beating heart and I could hear everyone's talking as well as heartbeats downstairs.I brought my hands up and covered my ears but then I heard the sound of Creed's voice. "I don't know Liam," he sounded scared. "I can't explain why I did that to her.""You bit her," Elias's voice was one of outrage and I touched my neck and remembered th

I decided to take that shower once everyone left. I exited the bathroom to see Creed standing by the long window. He turned to look at me, his eyes darkening and his heartbeat quickening. I held my towel tighter around me and cleared my throat. "I thought you left."He shut his eyes tightly and released a breath. When he opened them again they were back to green. He started to walk slowly towards me with his hands behind his back. "I'm still mad at you for the wolfsbane injection," I found myself taking a step back with each step he took towards me, my own heartbeat erratic while I tried to work out what he was doing, "it hurt like a bitch princess." His voice was low. "I didn't think kissing you would be that dangerous," he furthered. His voice was dangerously calm and my back hit the bathroom door.He trapped me against the door his hands on either side of my head. His green eyes amused as a smirk settled on his face. "I said I was sorry

The pack wolves that were injured were taken to the infirmary. Alpha's healed faster than normal wolves and when I looked at Creed an hour later, his wounds were gone. I sat in the living room with Elias, Liam, and Jordan while they discussed what they were going to say to Dallas. "Do you think she will believe us?" Jordan asked. Liam sighed, "She has no reason not to." "Luna," Hera called and I looked up. I thought I told you not to call me that. I tried the mindlink again finding it easier under less pressure. She rolled her eyes at me and kept her lips in a straight line. But you are my luna and I will address you as such in front of the others. Arguing with Hera about this was pointless. I just had to get used to the title when we weren't alone. "Yes, what is it Hera?" "We are going down to the cells to interrogate the omega's

I paced in my room anxiously, anticipating seeing my friends again. A lot had changed in a span of a month, learning that supernaturals existed and becoming supernatural.There was a knock on the door followed by the doorknob turning and Hera sticking her head in. "Alpha Creed is downstairs. He's waiting for you." I nodded and she walked into the room shutting the door behind her."Something seems to be bothering you. Are the events of yesterday still playing over in your mind?""I had a life Hera. It wasn't the best life but a life of a working woman. I was going to struggle and I was going to make it and become someone someday and then everything changed and now I'm becoming a wolf instead.""Do you not want to be a wolf?" She questioned."It's not something I would have chose. I saw the pain Creed went through. I don't know if I'd survive my bones breaking and rearranging." Hera remained silent as she ob

Creed parked the car in my campus parking lot. We got out of the car and he cracked his back, his bones making a sickening crunch sound. He looked around at the students and then at me. "I didn't know pot was legal?" He said turning in my direction.I shook my head. "Could you not be so loud." It was a quarter to three and the sun was high up in the sky. I could see the heat lines floating above the ground.Though it was quite warm out my anxiety had my body doing this weird thing of heating and cooling. My fingers were icy while my face and ears were hot. The hair on my body stood and that bubble of anxiety settled in the pit of my stomach."Where is your dorm room?" Creed asked and my mouth felt dry. He cupped my chin and tilted my head up for me to look at him. He placed a chaste peck on my lips and his green eyes settled into mine.I was immediately transported to the serene grassy and flower fields of
