I turned to look at him with a probably stupid expression on my face.What does he mean by that?"Huh?"He rolled his eyes and sighed.He has nice eyes ...Shut up."My mother obviously thinks I'm being unreasonable, so I'll try and be reasonable. Maybe you have some hidden skill or talent, sincerely, I highly doubt that. But I'll give you a chance, prove me wrong. Feel free to show me all you got. We're out in an open field ... " He gestured towards the wide plain of field.Oh no.This was worse than dying. He wants to ...Train.You lazy idiot.Hey!I didn't really know how to respond to his statement so I went with the most ladylike and appropriate response I could muster."Huh?" I was still trying to take everything in. How'd he go from kicking me out to this?He narrowed his eyes at me and shook his head.He looked up to the sky for a minute before turning back to look at me."How many miles can you do?""Miles?""Yes, how many can you run? Top speed, no break?"He said it like h

I came up out of the water feeling refreshed. The cool water soothing my heated skin.I wiped my face with my hand and then opened my eyes. Wait.I wiped my face?With my hands?I have hands again!I looked down. Which didn't really do much since ninety percent of my body was underwater, but I could still make out my swimming naked figure under the water. Shit.I had already shifted back.Really?Now?????You choose now to leave????I don't see any better time.I'm naked for Pete's sake!Your problem not mine.Our problem.Our friggin problem!could practically hear her laughing in my head. What was this, some sort of practical joke or something?You need to start getting comfortable in your own skin, you're a werewolf, occasions will rise.Definitely not like this!I looked around desperately looking for an answer.My clothes.Which are ripped and shredded to pieces a few kilometers from this place.There is no way I can run back naked. There is no way I'm doing that.I'll be in a me

If I thought the house was lonely and sad before, it was nothing compared to this.Words simply cannot describe the feeling.Pain is actually hanging in the air.And no one knows about it.Only the five of us.Damon, Latifah, Marcus, Mildred the nurse who was hired to take care of Anastasia and I.Damon refused to declare her dead, but she was.Gone.Latifah refused to eat.Damon shut everyone out even more than before.He wouldn't even come out of his room.He hasn't for the past eight days.As for me, I guess I was just stuck in Zombie mode after I was all cried out. It was all just too much to actually handle."Adriane.""Yeah?" I had just walked into Latifah's room where she lay on her bed.She had a small smile on her face but it was very clear that she was forcing it.Isn't it strange how a person can age twenty years in just two weeks?She had grown so lean since, she could hardly eat anything.She had lost so much, and now Anastasia was gone too.Poor girl.She couldn't surviv

"Adriane wait."But I didn't.I was done.For good.Forever.I dashed into the house even though I knew he wasn't following me.I was feeling all sorts of nothing right now, intense nothing, vague nothing, deep and haunting nothing.It was an eerie feeling really.The moment I barged in I saw Latifah.She was staring at me with wide teary eyes.She didn't need to say anything.I knew she had heard everything.I'm so sorry dear.Her eyes seemed to tell me.I didn't need or want any pity right now. But she wasn't to blame here, it's not her fault and she's been kind to me.So I just gave her a small but forced smile and walked past her and then went to the kitchen. I heard her footsteps retreat and leave the house, most likely to join Damon on the lawn.I could still feel him, he hadn't left. He still stood in that same spot I left him in.I pushed him out of my head.I rummaged through the drawers till I found what I was looking for.After about five minutes I found it.I grabbed it an

I would love to say that after the apology, everything was just peaches and roses, and walks in the park, lovey dovey stuff and proclamations of undying love for each other.Like I said.I would love to.But I can't.Because things just weren't that way.At all.Granted, he's changed, a bit.His eyes aren't so cold towards me anymore, and I could tell he has stopped actively trying to push me away. Or kill or banish me or something like that.We've had some brief conversations, nothing intimate though like the day we were at the forest grove. But it's more than what was exchanged between us before.He doesn't spend much time at home, always checking on pack issues or working in his office, which I didn't even know he had.Then again it shouldn't have come as a shock to me that he actually has businesses, I've not seen any money growing trees here that could have paid for his mansion and cars, or even the new phone he got me.Yeah, he got me a phone, since I needed one and I had lost m
