She pushed me up against the wall gently whilst kissing me. Then she started to undress me and before I could think I was in her arms and we were up going the staris. Then, without breaking the kiss she layed me down on the bed…..
I woke up naked and I smelled bacon, eggs, and french toast and coffee. As I made my way down the stairs I noticed the house for the first time it was beautiful. The floors were a lovely dark cherry hardwood and the walls are a light blue.
“wow” I breathed “its beautiful.”
“you like it?” she quetioned
“I love it.” I awnsered honestly and I really did.
“Are you hungry?” she laughed
“ a little… do you think you can take me on a tour of the property?” I suggested
“Well…. Theres this little lake I was thinking that maybe we could pack a picknic and go down there and swim.”
“oh that sounds fun”
“do you not want to go?” she asked a little hurt in her voice.I walked round the counter to give her a good morning kiss.
“I do want to go but, I don’t have a swim suit” I replied shyly and she laughed she LAUGHED.
“whats so funny?” I asked confused
“I don’t have one either” I laughed and she joined in.
“I am going to shower and then I will be ready.” I trailed off suggestivly. She grinned ad then we were off to the bathroom. After our shower we got dressed well I did anyway. After I packed a bag for Reed and a towel for myself I went down stairs. In my absense she had packed a picknik for us. “Ready to go?” she asked. I smiled and nodded as my eyes raked over her naked body.
Reed walked outside and shifted I was pleased to have this beautiful woman as my protector. I walked out with a backpack on my back and the picknick basket and a blanket. She folded down to the ground so I didn’t have to jump with all this stuff in my hands. She ran effortless as if she didn’t have a hundred plus pounds on her back. When we finally reached the lake and she was dressed we ate the sandwiches she made. While we ate she would point out places her and Jerrod used to play.
“Do you see that cave over there?” she asked I nodded “ Our parents took us there and that’s where we found out about the werewolf thing” she got choked up at the mention of her parents.
“Whats wrong? Jerrod dose the samething when he talks about them.” I wondered she looked like she was about to start crying. I cant watch her cry it would tear me up I had to do something. I crawled over to her and grabbed her face and looked into those beautiful blue green eyes that I always get lost in. “please don’t cry I wont bring that subject up again I promise.”
“no its ok I have been thinking about them a lot lately anyway so its not your fault” she laghed weakly.
“what happened to them?” I bearly wishpered
“it was about four years ago, just a few months after we found out about what we are,-“ she trailed off and her eyes cut to the west. Before I could react there was a loud and vicious growl and she had already shifted. I was terrified not because she was growling but what she was growling at. There was only one face came to mind. Zane. He found us and worse then that, we have no back up. I gasped at how close he was to us. Out of nowhere Reed was between us hackles standing on edge. She was growling a long stream of profanitys at him. Then she looked at me I knew the look and immediately, well as fast as I could I jumped on her back and she was running.
“Can we out run him?” I asked panicked. Reed shook her vast head but stepped up her speed. I looked up then and saw where we were heading. The cave. As soon as we were in the there she stopped and looked at me. “Do you want me to get down now?” I asked breathless she nodded her head. When she was human again i asked her “how the hell did he find us so quick?”
“I don’t know but there is a safe room and you are going there while I try and defend the cave until Jerrod and the rest of the pack gets here.” I looked at her with horrified eyes and she knew exactly what was going through my mind. She knew I was going to protest her words so she spoke first.
“I have to it’s the only way to protect you.” Reed spoke so calmly that I relaxed a little bit.
“How long till the others get here?” I questioned her.
“luckly Alec was in his wolf form so it wont be long” she awnsered I felt a sob breaking through my chest. Reed held me tightly as we walked. I could feel the fear rising in me. She felt it to and wispered “don’t worry I will protect you till my last breath” that did it I broke down.
The Fight (Reeds P.O.V)
I couldn’t look at her as I walked away. I felt wrong not having her walk beside me, but I WILL NOT have her that close to Zane ever again. As I made my way to the edge of the cave I shifted. After that I finally hear Jerrod. ‘Reed, are you guys alright?’ He was worried I could tell from the tone he used. ’yeah we are fine I locked jessye in the safe room in the cave’ he was speechless. He knew I hated going into the cave. ‘You went in there?’
‘I had to it was the only place I could think where she would be safe from him.’ As I thought that he came into view. I have to admit it felt good to see his mossy green eyes again. I felt we had a better chance at surving. After I saw him I was looking for the others then I saw the the first wolf I saw was Alec and a sense of security came over me as I bowed before him. Finally the rest of the pack followed. ‘Reed where did you see the leech?’ Alec asked as I rose.’We were by the lake ‘caues Jessye wanted to swim then out of nowhere I saw Zane by the house so I switched forms and got her to the family safe room’ I left out the whole I love you thing betewen us that would be a topic for another day.
‘Reed im so thankful that you protcted her for me would you please go back and sit with her so that she dosnt lose her mind?’ I nodded my head and wheeled around back towards the safe room. When I got close I shifted back to human form and opened the door.
I saw Jessye cowarding in the corner. “Whats wor- I was cut short as I was smacked in the chest. As I flew about ten feet in the air I heard Jessye scream in terror. When I landed I felt my head bash into the concrete wall and felt my breath slip from my lungs. I heard Jessye crying from the corner after I landed I felt Jessye’s hand on my face. “I’m so sorry Reed this is all my fault” she cried. I shook my head no. “its not your fault I promise” I felt her warm tears fall on my check.
I tried to sit up but I couldn’t because I felt my right leg and left arm were broken. “jessye, I need your help my leg and arm are broken. I need to shift to let Jerrod and the pack know where he his alright?” I needed her help to get to a position so I could shift. “I need your help to stand up my leg is already starting to heal. Help me up please.” As Jessye helped me up I saw Zane circling us I tried to step away from her so I could shift. every step I took she shadowed them.
“Jessye I need you to step away so I can shift with out hurting you.” With a heartbreaking look on her face she stepped back. For the first time since I started shifitng it was painful. After I shifted I sreamed in my head.’JERROD!!!! HES IN THE SAFEROOM WITH US WE NEED HELP!! NOW!!!!!!’ I turned to face Zane in wolf form he looked at me with pity.
“ahh its such a shame that im going to have to kill your girlfriend” he looked at Jessye when he said this, so I put myself between her and him. “ one of you has to die. It dosent matter to me who dies id rather you both die”I looked to Jessye and I had the resolve in my eyes. I made the shift from animal to human. I turned to face her “Jessye, im sorry but it’s the only way to protect you get as far away from here as you can please send the pack. I LOVE YOU never ever froget that ok?”
I gave her the necklace that I had gotten when I joined the pack. “give this to Jerrod tell him I love him and im sorry” tears welled up in her eyes. My eyes were doing the same. “go now!” she hesitated I kissed her slow but passitiontly. “go now please do it for me” I pleaded with her to listen to me, finally she nodded and ran away. I turned back to find Zane looking at me with confused eyes. “why did you let her go?” he questioned me. “id rather die then have her die that’s the defintion of true love not that you would know anything about that.” I hissed.
Then the atmosphe shifted and he slid into a crouch. I shifted back into an animal so I could fight him better. He came at me with such speed and force that when he hit me the air rushed out of my lungs. I felt him step on my chest and I felt like four ribs break. I screamed in agony and then i saw him lunge for my throat. I raised my paw to protcect my head and neck then I faded into blackness.
