It had been exactly five minutes of taking, and Mike finally left us to do one or two things. I turned back to Mrs Griffin, who was chatting away without a moment’s hesitation. She felt so good staying in her own skin, and I really liked that about her. “Ok, we are literally done here. I’m aware I could be quite the chatter, but you need your beauty sleep. Run along, darling,” Mike’s mother said softly. I smiled at her. “Good night, ma’am.” She waved me off. I took the stairs to my room, all the while thinking about Mike, and what he must be doing at this time. I don’t know how I can’t seem to do anything without thinking about him, like I was cursed or something. It was literally getting out of hand. I turned the knob of my room, and stepped inside the room. A broad figure stood by the window. The light that illuminated from the hallway made me note that it was Mike. Yet, I was still so jumpy. I closed the door slowly, and stepped into the room. Mike didn’t turn. The darkness of

“What should I tell you, Mike? I’m literally not worth much to you. It’s just sex, right? I mean, why would you even care. I gave it all to you. I’m not worried though. I know I shouldn’t have expected much. You’re not tied down or anything. Trust me, it’s all cool. I...” His finger touched my lips slowly. I looked at it through my nose, and despite the fact it made me slightly dizzy, I felt so like screaming in excitement. “M, you deserve every right to be mad at me. I’m a complete idiot, but I have my reasons.” He informed me slowly. The fact his hands were down were what I needed to escape his hold. I did just that, only to be snapped back to his chest like I belonged there and nowhere else. “What reason do you have Mike? You literally don’t like me and that’s ok,” I grumbled lowly. He shook his head at me. “How the fuck won’t I love you? Whatever I did was because of my parents. I don’t want them to see me sneaking out of your room so early in the morning. It won’t look goo

Subconsciously, I compared the feeling I felt as Ian spoke to me so intimately with how I felt when Mike held me. I was deeply confused on which was greater. Or, maybe I knew, and didn’t want to accept it.
 I turned my face, and softly pecked Ian on the lips. I had to know if I would be able to feel what I had felt for Mike. I felt nothing at all. It was definitely not the same, but still, I held on to the fact that Ian was my first crush. If all else failed, this much was true.
 “I’m glad you do,” I whispered against his lips.
 Ian pulled me closer to his chest, and slowly kissed me. His kisses were so different from Mike. It was sloppy without it feeling rushed. I tried to meet up with him, and not feel completely at a loss with all the kisses being showered at me right now.
 He softly made me balk-walk to somewhere at the back, without stopping his kisses. I forced myself to enjoy it despite the fact that I wasn’t feeling the high I felt with Mike.
 It was like

The walk down to the Griffin’s home was super exhausting. I just wanted it to be done. Yet, the more I walked to the house, the more I felt like I should be somewhere else right now.I cried softly, releasing the pent-up emotions that had been holding me hostage. I had been so rude to Mike. I shouldn’t have done that. I shouldn’t have made him feel so awful because he was looking out for me. But, what could I have done? His closeness to me will only hurt him.I had no idea how to get Marcus off my back. I had to that to protect the Griffin’s; to protect Mike. Now, I don’t even know what to do. It was so frustrating being so clueless about things like this.I kicked the leaf off my path, and then my eyes narrowed on a stall that sold candy floss and other items. I could get something sweet to make my nerves slightly better. I walked towards the stall, and ordered some sweets. The man manning the desk was sweet, giving me a discount. I smiled thankfully at him, and tried to chew on the

We walked down the path leading to the pack house. Mike had his hands behind his back. He was so defensive of me, and I had a feeling that nothing would take him unawares.“Mike,” I called suddenly.He turned to me slowly. “M? Do you want more water?”I smiled as I shook my head no. “I have an insane urge at the moment.” I looked at him and he was about to say something, so I continued. “What I’m trying to say is that, I have the urge to shape-shift. I feel like I need that so badly now.”Mike stopped in his tracks. “I’m sorry, Maya but that wouldn’t be possible.”“But, why?”He sighed slightly. “The wolf hunters are lurking around at this time. It would be so dangerous if they find us in such a situation,” he explained calmly.I sighed a bit. This was so sad. I couldn’t enjoy the fact I was a wolf now. According to Mike, the problem started because Rogues were killing the humans, or turning them for some strange motive. Now, I was at the whims of one of those rogues. I hoped all thes
