The Wolf Days

Chapter 4- To Leave With The Night

No one said goodnight to each other we stayed in our rooms. I sat by my open window watching the moon grow bigger, tonight would be a full moon.

I kept glancing over to my suit case, maybe I thought it might disappear. I waited until it was almost full then I grabbed my bag and climbed out of my window, easily dropping the 2 or 3 feet to the ground. As soon as I grabbed my bag again and started to move, I realized that I had forgotten where we said we would meet. I started to panic and my heart started to beat faster.

"Hey it's ok calm down" I heard James coo from behind me. I visibly relaxed when I turned around to see him standing there with open arms. I quickly accepted his invitation and hugged him. We hugged for a longtime, neither of us wanting to let go.

"Come on let's get home" he sighed and released his grip with a gentle kiss on the forehead. My body shivered with delight as I realized that I love his touch.

"Home" I whispered, and we started to walk into the woods.

"How much longer?" I asked him for the 200th time.

"Not much longer" his muscles rippled under his shirt as he lifted my bag over rocks.

"But you said that like 2 hours ago" we've been walking all night and I was ready to sleep but he wouldn't let us, claiming that I was a werewolf so I was gonna have to start acting like one.

"Ok well it's like right behind those trees" he pointed and I saw a large building behind it.

"Ok" I said content.

"I guess we'll meet everyone tomorrow... ok so there's a big building and that's the pack house, where the alpha and his family live, also there's a bunch of offices and a giant game room, and movie theater, stuff like that" he explained.

"So where does the rest of the pack live?" I asked curiously.

"There are smaller houses spread about the forest, but not too far away, all within a 2 mile radius." he told me.

"Oh I see" I thought about this until we reached the clearing behind the trees.

"Wow!" I exclaimed as I saw I pack house "its huge" It had a ginormous pool off to the side and there were kids playing on a play set out front.

"Told you" he smirked and winked at me, I just rolled my eyes.

"So what's the packs name" I asked embarrassed that I didn't know.

"Oh silly me I forgot, we're called The Shadow Pack" he chuckled to himself.

"Why The Shadow Pack?" The name sounded scary.

"Because most of the packs population has black fur" I nodded and looked at the kids, who had stopped playing and staring at me, pointing, then running inside.

"Why did they do that?" I asked nodding towards the children.

"Well I never really told anyone that I was bringing you here but my mother and father" he looked away sheepishly and scratched the back of his neck.

"Oh" was all I could think to say.

We walked up to the house and he kindly opened the door for me and I thanked him. he grabbed my hand and led me down a hall where I could here voices.

"But mommy James really did have a girl, she was tall and had brown hair, and really pretty" I chuckled as we walked into a room with 7 or 8 children gathered around 2 women.

They all looked up and stared at me, except the kid who was talking about me, he looked at what I think is his mother "see told you so"

"Do you know where my parents are?" James asked nicely not even bothering to give them an explanation as to why I was there.

"Your mothers in the kitchen and as for your father I have not a clue" one of the lady's answered him. He nodded his head and pulled me down another hall and into a kitchen, where a woman with fiery red hair chopped vegetables as she sang to herself.

"Mother" James said with a happy note in his voice. His mother jumped and relaxed when she saw it was James.

"Oh dear you really shouldn't scare me like that you know how it upsets me and then I-" James cleared his throat and she looked up and then finally realized I was standing there.

"Is this her?" She asked, her eyes flickered between the two of us. James nodded and she dropped her knife on the counter and squealed like a little school girl, then ran towards me with open arms. We hugged awkwardly for a few seconds before she released me.

"Oh I'm sorry my name is Angela" she smiled and stuck out her hand.

"Nevada" I said shaking her hand. I took in her features and noticed she looked nothing like James, the complete opposite in fact. She was small, with green eyes and red hair, except James and her had the same nose.

"Well dear I would love to say that my son here has told us so much about you and all that, but truth is all he told us was mom I found my mate and I'm bringing her home" she giggle a strange little laugh, but I think it suited her. As for me I smirked at an embarrassed looking James.

"Yes that sounds like him" I agreed with Angela.

"Ok mother were tired and going to bed, please tell dad that we'll meet him in the morning" he held out his hand to me and I was about to take it when Angela hugged me again. It startled me then I hugged back content with the moment.

"Very well, goodnight dears" she waved us off and went back to cooking and singing. I took James' hand and he led me to a staircase, with we began to climb.

"I thought you said we were going to bed" I asked confused.

"We are, my room is on the far side up here" I stared at him even more confused.

"But I thought only the Alphas family lived in the pack house?" I continued to stare at him as guilt flashed acrossed his face, then I figured it out.

"Your part of the Alphas family?!?" My mouth dropped open and I stared at him.

"Ya I've been meaning to tell you that" he scratched the back of his neck and avoided my stare.

"Why didn't you tell me before?" I asked him a little hurt that he didn't tell me.

"Well it's just that so many girls wanna be with me cause I'm the Alphas kid and its kinda hard to find out who actually loves you and-" I put my finger over his lips and kissed his cheek then whispered

"James, I'm your mate, I'll always love you wether I like it or not, so your kinda stuck with me" he chuckled and I noticed his voice was deeper and I looked up into his eyes. I almost gasped at how much emotion was in his eyes, love, desire, fear, and many others I didn't know.

"Good" was all he said before he crashed his lips to mine, I instantly kissed back. He picked me up bridal style and moved slowly down the hall and open a door and shutting it quickly, soon after dropping my suitcase. He sat me on the bed and stopped kissing me. He looked at me and searched my face for what? I didn't care I just wanted his lips on mine again.

"Do you wanna do this?" he asked me dead serious. I debated this for a few moments, sure I was 17 and I just met him, but I wanted him, let me rephrase that, I needed him. I decided with the reasonable side that said I should get to know him first.

I shook my head and saw some of the light fade from his eyes "hey hey" I whispered putting my hand on his cheek "it's not cause I don't like you or anything like that it's just I'm a... I'm a..." I trailed off not bothering to finish my sentence.

"A what?" He asked both curious and concerned.

"A virgin" I peeped and looked away from him.

"I understand" he did witch surprised me and then leaned down and kissed my forehead.

"But... that doesn't mean we can't make out" he smirked at me and leaned down real close.

"That's my girl" he whispered before kissing me again.
