Demon || Luke Hemmings

Chapter 8: Saving the Werewolf

*OCTAVIA'S POV*

"I'm really sorry about that" he says and holds me the glass of water. "It's fine don't worry about that" I say and smile at him. "So, what are you doing here?" he asks. "I was just looking for Luke. I thought he's here" I say and he twinkles. "Wait, I thought he was with you" he says confusedly. "Just like for five minutes, then he left and I thought he's here" I say and then realize I don't even know his name. I don't know the name of, uhmm, werewolf, who saved me. "I just hope he won't do something stupid" he says. Then an awkward silence happens. "Uhmm, so, what's your name?" I ask him and he looks at me. "Why?" he asks back. "I'm just... you know... I mean, you saved my life and I don't even know your name" I tell him. "Calum" he says with a smile on his face and I nod. And another awkward silence. "I think I should go" I say and stand up. He nods. "Okay, I'll look for Luke around" he says and I nod. "Fine, if you'll find him, tell him I want to talk to him" I say. "I will" he tells me and I walk out of the room.

*CALUM'S POV*

If I will find him, I will kill him. I shouldn't go looking for him when hunters are around. If I would go there as a human nothing would happen, I would be pretending that I got lost or something. No, I have to change to the wolf. And it's all because of Luke. He's the reason why I have a bullet in my shoulder. Fuck him. What am I supposed to do now? I need someone's help. But there's no one in this stupid small town who I can trust. Maybe, well, there is one person. She kind of owes me, so maybe she could help me, but there's no chance I can get to her. I barely get in there. Fuck. I'm so weak. I need some rest.

*OCTAVIA'S POV*

I walk into the house. It's quiet here. Maybe he's not back yet. I go upstairs and look around. Then I spot the door on one room is slightly open. All doors are always closed. I rush into the room and see the body on the couch. "Calum" I shout. I run to him and kneel down on the floor. I slightly start to slap his face until he doesn't open his eyes. "Calum, what happened?" I ask him. "You have to help me. I was shot by hunters" he says slowly and then I notice the injury on his shoulder. I look closer at it and see the bullet inside it. "I, I don't know how" I say. I want to help him, but I don't have any idea what to do. "Please" he begs. I nod and stand up from the floor. I start to run around the house and looking for the things I could need.

*CALUM'S POV*

"Thanks" I say. "No problem" she says and smiles. "So, I guess you didn't find him" she says quietly. "No, I'm sorry" I say and move closer to her. I wrap my good arm around her shoulders. "Look, if he left, he probably doesn't care that much about you. Just don't cry because of him. He doesn't deserve your tears" I tell her. I don't like to see her sad. It's better for her when he's gone. He left her and he also left me. "Maybe he just needs to think about everything. Maybe he needs some time" she breathes of. "Maybe" I say quietly, but honestly, I don't think it's true. He just left. That's all.

*OCTAVIA'S POV*

I don't even believe to my own words. Calum is right. If he left, he doesn't care about me that much. He doesn't deserve my tears. We weren't even dating, so what's the deal? I won't cry because of him. He can do whatever he wants, I don't care. We just had sex, that's all. I have to get him out of my head and my heart. There's no place for demonic stranger. "Are you okay?" I twinkle when I hear a voice. Then I realize it's Calum. "Yeah, I'm fine" I say and look at him. Now, when I'm looking at him properly, I notice his muscles, beautiful brown eyes and full lips. Then just a thought about kissing them makes me weak. Damn it, how can I think like this right now? I can't. I just. No. "I have to go. It's kind of too late" I say and stand up us fast as possible. The flounce causes my head spins and I can't hold the balance. I'm about to fall when I feel strong arms catching me. "Woah, be careful" he says and when I look at him, he smiles. "Thanks" I mumble and smile shyly. "Anytime" he says. When I stand properly, I look at him for a second and then leave.

*CALUM'S POV*

She just left. I wanted her to stay, but I didn't tell her. She must have something in her. She magnetizes me. I know she didn't mean to, but she did. I was like in trance the whole time she was here. All I was thinking about was to connect our lips together. I barely could control myself. But I have to back off. Just in case Luke is coming back. If he would find out I have a love affair with girl he's into, it could end really bad. But what if he's not coming back? I can use the opportunity. I saw how she was looking at me. There's definitely the chemistry between us. She wants me as much as I want her. Fuck Luke. I was shot because of him. He's not even here and I don't have any idea if he will ever come back. I bet she's not going to wait for him. I will go for this. I'll risk it.
