Opposites Attract

Chapter Seventeen 

Agitation

Drew Holiday

'Oh my God!' I groaned. 'Will you just shut up already?' Hailey turned to face me from her current position on the kitchen island.

'Oh, you'd like that wouldn't you!' she said grinning maniaclly. I glared at her.

'Oh God yes!' I said in exasperation. For the past hour, Hailey had been lying across the the kitchen island singing everything from 'Oops I did it again' to 'Hit me baby one more time!' and every other Britney Spears song ever sang in between. And mate or no mate, if I hear another catchy pop song leave her kissable lips, I will have to kill her. I see no other way.

'If I said I want your body now! Would you hold it against me?!?' she sang at the top of her lungs. I locked my jaw. It wasn't actually that she was a horrid singer, she wasn't actually half bad. It's just that it was her third loop through the never-ending playlists of Britney songs.

'Hailey!' I protested. 'You hate Britney Spears!'

'You hate her more.' she noted. I frowned in defeat and she smirked. 'Besides if you hate it so much... why don't you jsut leave?' she suggested. I sighed.

She been doing this every day. 

being part wolf, we've always been naturally territorial and somewhat posessive, but Hailey was taking it to new lengths. Every day for the past week, she's chosen something that she considers hers, and for the whole day it's her territory. Yesterday, Hailey decide that Danny's corner of the couch was hers. Danny didn't take it so well. Danny decided that that specific corner of the couch was still his, and as he puts it 'I was here first!' and as Hailey put it; 'I don't give a shit!

 and then... she broke his arm. After that we all pretty much stayed away from that corner of the couch for the rest of the day, in reality we pretty much avoided the entire living room and respected Hailey's territory. And Danny? He was to busy healing at super-speed to argue, beside's, she'd move on to something else to claim the next day. I'm sure at this rate, she'd own everything in the house at least once in about a year and a bit. If she stays that long. I frowned. How long was she going to stay? I pushed the troubling thought ou of my head and focused on the more current issue.

My Mom says that this whole possessive thing actually has to do with mating. Who would've guessed, well in the world of werewolves almost everything revolves around mating. She says ecause Hailey has mentally and physically refused to own me and let me claim her as mine as well, her wolf has moved onto the next best thing; owning everything else around her. To make up for the lack of ownership I suppose. Honestly? I don't mind being owned, and if it saves a couple trips to the pack doctor? Then all the better, it's a win-win. 

Today? Hailey has decided that the kitchen counter was her daily conquest. She was sprawled out across it and was waiting for us to acknowledge that it was her territory. So right now, I was in the middle of an internal battle. Do I stay with Hailey and listen to her sing repetitive Britney Spears songs until I either A) throw up B) pass out or C) die (most likely clawing myself to death). OR do I leave and go hang out with the guys? To a rational person the answer was obvious. Then again, being around your mate has never exactly made a guy think rationally.

'I think I'm just fine where I am.' I said. She let out a low growl and sat up on the counter, turning to lock in on my frightened gaze. 

'Shit...' I muttered backing up and falling over the back of the couch. I saw her pull herself up off the counter. 'Please don't break my arm!' I shouted in panic. I heard a snap and I let out a low groan. Too late, I thought. Note to self; do not EVER, and I repeat EVER, upset a hormonal possessive female werewolf. EVER.
