The Dancer and the Werewolf

Chapter 3

I walked back into the bedroom, and sat down on the bed. I was a lot calmer now. Centre work does that for you! Taking a deep breath, I looked up at Noah, standing there in all his hotness. Im not denying it, we all know it’s true. He was wearing a tight black shirt with dark blue jeans and a pair of converse…which, in my books, is totally hot.

Leaning back on the headboard, I decided that we needed to have a serious conversation. Noah saw the serious look on my face and pulled a computer chair over next to the bed, and sat down on it with his elbows on his knees, facing me. The picture of a God.

“So,” I started my voice calm. I needed to stay calm throughout this talk. I needed answers. And I needed them now. “You have some explaining to do, Noah”. I kept my face calm as Noah seemed to go into deep though, and I just waited for him to speak up.

“Okay” He started and I looked back up towards his stormy grey eyes. They looked so deep, and I felt like I could fall … No, EW. Mushy teenager much? “You’ve seen everything through the mind link. I know you have. So you know, that im, a…well. Im a werewolf.” He looked down as he said this, it seemed he was self-conscious. Him? Self-conscious? He was too hot to be self-conscious.

Okay, I didn’t just think that.

“Yes, I saw everything…through that…thing” I answered, which he just replied “Mind link” Again.

Sighing, I decided to ask my own questions. “So, I know every-thing about you. I know your whole life…why is that?” I asked. I truly didn’t understand. I mean, why did I see everything?

“Violet” He looked up at me, his eyes honest, and a little worried. “You saw the part about mates through the mind link…The only reason why you would have gone through the mind link is because you’re my mate. You know it; I know you do, so stop trying to think it’s not possible. Because it is. Yes, it’s very rare for a human to be mated with a werewolf, but it’s possible. Tricky, but possible” He finished, and by now I was almost hyperventilating.

I looked down toward my legs, my eyes suddenly finding the skin on them very interesting.

Me…his mate? It can’t work. I can’t get close to him…or any-one; he doesn’t know anything about my life!

Wait.

Does he?

I shared a mind link with him…did he see everything about my life as-well? That can’t happen! There are things NO-ONE should know!

I looked back up to his face, my eyes not exactly meeting his. “I understand about the mate thing, but I don’t know if I can accept it” He opened his mouth to say something but I cut him off. “Does the mind link go two ways?” I asked, and he looked like he was ready for this question.

He moved his chair closer to the bed, closer to me and he grabbed my hands in his. I looked down at our hands, white against brown…ying and yang. It makes me feel at peace when his hands are in mine. I feel the fire burning beneath my skin…So the mate thing is true, then.

“The mind link” he began, his voice soft now, like he was trying not to scare me away. “Does go both ways, Violet, I’ve seen your whole life. And im so, so, very sorry. I know I can’t fix anything but –“

I cut him off. “But what?” I said. “There’s no but to anything, Noah. You’ve seen it all…I don’t know what to say to you, because obviously, there’s nothing I can say. Im not going to be perfect for you, no matter how much I feel I should be – which is stupid. Its like this mate thing won’t even let me think my own thoughts!” I shouted at the end and then took a deep breath. “Yes, okay? That did all happen, I was abused by my father, and he hurt me everyday of my life, emotionally and physically. But it’s over now, and I never, ever want to talk about that again, okay?” I asked him, and he looked back at me, his grey eyes now changing between anger and sadness.

“I promise ... I won’t bring it up. But you’re safe with me okay? Can you believe that?” He asked me, and his hands tightened around mine. I don’t understand why I haven’t moved them yet. Usually I can’t stand people touching me, but with him, I feel at peace.

“I should be able to trust you, shouldn’t I? ...I guess I have no choice to, I can’t fight the mate thing…as hard as I might try, I still feel everything”. I answered him and looked up towards the ceiling. Trying to get rid of all the painful memories.

Noah started rubbing his thumbs against the palms of my hands and I felt my body calm even more. How he could do this to me? I don’t know. All I know is that for almost five minutes we just sat there, me looking up towards the ceiling, Noah looking at me, with his thumbs rubbing circles into my palms, and everything was just peaceful. So peaceful I smiled a little.

Until something came to mind. Where was I?

I looked back at Noah, the smile on my face was just a shadow now, and he looked sincerely happy, for whatever reason.

“Noah…where have you taken me?” I asked, and he looked scared for a moment. Why would he be scared?

“Well…were in, um, the Northern Territory.” He answered I blanched.

Northern Territory? Hell. No.

“Last time I checked, Noah. I was in New South Wales!” I exclaimed. He did not bring me all the way out here because im his freaking mate!

“Not anymore, Violet.” He answered I became angry, obviously, he saw this on my face and placed his hands on my shoulders, holding me against the bed, so I wouldn’t BITE HIS FREAKING HEAD OFF!

I glared at him, anger clear in my eyes. I wanted to hit him SO bad right now…

“Look, I know you’re angry, and what im about to tell you is even worse, but just listen for a sec, okay?” He asked. And even though I believed I had no reason to listen to him at all, I nodded my head stiffly in a yes, for him. “Okay, when a werewolf mates with a human, some weird spell thing happens, and the human is no longer remembered…by any other humans. I am so sorry Violet, I wish it wasn’t true, but I can’t control it!” He exclaimed. And now…

Now I was pissed. I shoved him off of me with all my strength, which was quite a lot, and backed him up against the main door to the room.

“YOU FREAKING WHAT?! YOU HAVE TAKEN EVERYTHING FROM ME! I CANT GO BACK TO MY HOME, I CANT SEE MY FRIENDS! AND WHAT ABOUT MY DANCESCHOOL? AND EVERYTHING IVE DONE FOR THEM!” I screamed, and then my voice stopped. I backed away from the door where I was pushing Noah. “I can’t believe it; I have no-one left…” I finished with a shaky voice.

I can’t believe this….

Everything… Gone…

Noah placed his hands in front of him, and walked towards me. My head snapped up instantly. “No!” I screamed, and ran up to him, my fists hitting his chest, hard as I could in my current state. “You can’t do this you can’t just take everything away!” I yelled, and tears started to stream down my face, as well as sobs beginning to come from deep in my chest.

Noah arms cam around my waist, and pulled me against him, so tight that I couldn’t move. And I just cried, I sobbed like I have never sobbed before.

My hands lay limp on his chest, from where they were hitting him before, my head now in the crook of his neck, my tears streaming out of my eyes, wetting his skin. The calm feeling he gave me before didn’t, couldn’t, work anymore.

I didn’t realize when I was laying on the bed, with Noah still holding me, just as tight since I started my break-down. But now I was quiet. There was nothing to say anymore. I can’t cry anymore. So I let my eyes drift shut, and I let my mind wander off to a deep, black, sleep. The type you don’t know if you wake up from…
