Chapter 62
His eyes, they had changed. They were darker, more feral.
“Jake”. My voice was barely a whisper.
Moving away from me he closed his eyes running his hands through his hair. “Give me a minute babe”. My heart thudded in my chest. He looked to be in pain, he seemed to be struggling.
“A-are you okay?”. Taking a few steps back I swallowed the lump that appeared in the back of my throat. I didn’t know what to do.
“Always princess”. Walking towards me he slipped his arms around my waist burying his head in the crook of my neck and inhaling deeply. “Your scent”. He growled. “You’ve no idea what you do to me. You’re f g perfect”. I couldn’t breathe.
“Fuck you’re beautiful”. Pulling back he brushed his nose against mine.
“I-I For once I had no words. I couldn’t speak, couldn’t think. He had took over everything. My thoughts, my senses. “Jake”. I whispered feeling his arms loosen.
“I can hear how fast your heart is beating”. He whispered brushing the loose strands of hair off my face. “I can smell your fear baby, I’d never hurt you p>
I knew he wouldn’t but I couldn’t help it. I was scared, nervous and maybe even a little excited. He was here, I was in his arms.
Was this what I wanted?
I wasn’t sure but it felt right. Him being here felt right.
“Come inside out the rain”. Stepping back I instantly missed his touch, I missed the closeness.
As I heard the back door close I put the kettle on grabbing two mugs.
“We need to talk babe p>
“I know, do you want coffee p>
“I’ll be up all night”. He grinned.
Shrugging I put his mug away and filled up my own. High chance of me sleeping tonight anyway. I was wide awake and my gran wasn’t here. I hadn’t slept in the house on my own before. Taking a seat at the kitchen island I waited for him to begin. I had so many questions, so many things I wanted to know.
“Have you ever heard of werewolf’s?”. He asked sitting across from me.
Really?
“I know what a wolf is Jake”. Rolling my eyes I took a sip of my coffee. “But what you turned into I couldn’t finish my sentence. I had never seen anything like it.
“Werewolf”. He corrected. “Not wolf princess p>
Same thing p>
“Can you change wherever you want?”. I asked.
“Yes p>
“Do you have any triggers p>
“Anger p>
“When- when you changed, you changed because of me. I made you angry p>
“You made us angry. I have excellent control over him but with you it’s difficult p>
Him?
“We’re one Leah, but he can take over, he can take control and when he does it’s not pretty p>
“How?”. I whispered.
“Let’s just say he’s very protective of you. We both are p>
“Once he takes control is it easy to get back?”. I asked.
“Depends on why he takes over”. Slipping off the stool he walked towards me. “Burning rage, frustration, of course anger and sometimes even arousal”. Scratching the back of his head I noticed the light shade of pink spread over his cheeks. He was embarrassed. “So all of you can change into werewolf’s p>
“Yeah p>
“Everyone I know here is a werewolf”. I was talking more to myself than Jake.
“Not everyone”. He broke through my thoughts making me look at him. “Your little friend Ryan is human p>
“Why do you have to say it like that?”. I asked.
“Because I can fucking smell him on you. I can’t stand it. You should only smell like me”. He growled teeth clenched.
“What does that even mean p>
“You’re fucking mine that’s what it means”. Closing the gap between us he grabbed hold of my chin. “You can have friends baby just as long as they know you belong to me p>
Pushing his hand off I got to my feet. He was being ridiculous, I wasn’t a piece of meat he could just claim.
“This caveman act doesn’t suit you”. Grabbing my cup I emptied the remains into the sink.
“It’s not an act baby. Trust me when I say you’re mine. The more you run the more we chase”. He smirked.
“Ryan is just my friend”. I sighed. It was getting late and I didn’t want to argue with him. Yawning I rubbed at my eyes. “It’s late Jake p>
“We’re not done yet Leah p>
“I’m tired”. It was still wild outside so I was guessing school was off. “And I think I’ve learnt enough for tonight”. Some paragraphs are incomplete if you are not reading this novel on.

“There’s so much more princess p>
Another yawn escaped my mouth, my eyes growing heavy. “Yeah and it’s nearly 1am”. I was shattered from being up so early. “There’s always tomorrow p>
“You think I’m leaving you on your own when’s it’s like that outside?”. Shaking his head he moved so fast. His hands rested on my hips, his breath fanning my face.
He couldn’t stay here, my gran would have a heart attack.
“You can’t stay here Jake. My gran isn’t home and she wouldn’t approve”. I could see her face now, eighteen or not I wouldn’t see outside for a while if I let him stay. “She wouldn’t even know I was here”. He whispered brushing his nose against mine.
No!
“You can’t”. Shaking my head I placed my hand against his chest. I needed air. I couldn’t handle him being this close to me.
“But I could p>
“Jake”. I sighed.
“I just want to make sure you’re safe. You won’t even know I’m here p>
He wasn’t giving up but I was too tired to argue.
“Fine but you’re sleeping on the floor p>
True to his word he took the floor.
I couldn’t sleep.
I could feel him staring, watching me as if I were his prey. The wind had picked up whistling through the night sky, the rain battering off my windows.
Huffing loudly I sat up. I couldn’t let him sleep on the floor, it didn’t sit well with me. I also wasn’t sure if I wanted him to sleep beside me. I didn’t know if I could handle the closeness. I didn’t want to end up doing something I might regret.
“What’s wrong princess p>
“I can’t sleep”. I huffed.
“You feeling okay?”. He asked.
“Just get in the damn bed Jake”. Laying back down I turned onto my side.
I didn’t need to tell him twice.
