"Big Bad" Wolf

Home Sweet Home (For Real This Time)

"Hey, Adisyn." Austyn says, shaking my arm. I groan, burying my face in my blanket, signifying that I was in no way ready to get up yet. 

The last few days my PTSD has only been getting worse. Those messages haven't stopped yet, terrorizing me around every corner. I have barely gotten any sleep since then, therefore explaining my current anger with Austyn right now. I have barely said a word since my first PTSD attack, I have fallen into a bit of a slump as it so seems.

"Hey, on the upside, Dax will be home any time now." Austyn says, causing me to stand up positively straight, running over to my dresser. Austyn laughs, shaking his head at me. "I should have started with that." He mutters, shaking his head as he leaves the room. 

I grab a pair of white shorts, pairing it with a baggy, grey crop top. I then get into the shower, enveloping my self with warm water. 'He is almost here, I can sense it.' My wolf says eagerly, fighting to take me over. 

I push her back, just as desperate as she was to see Daxton again. Dax, god I miss him so much. I step out of the shower, drying myself off before getting changed into the outfit I selected. I then blow dry my auburn curls, braiding back my bangs and pinning them.

I then put on some foundation, eyeliner, and mascara before walking out of the bathroom. "Hey, how are you doing?" Austyn asks, wrapping his arm carefully around my shoulder. I shrug, moving his arm away from me. 

"You've gotten smaller." Austyn notes, causing my eyes to widen. Shit, I need to be more careful, I have a tendency to lose weight really fast. "You're all skin and bones." Austyn laughs, causing my muscles to tighten as another attack comes on.

"Adisyn!" My mother hisses, causing me to scurry down the stairs and to her side quickly, I knew better than to anger her. "Yeah?" I whimper, my eyes cast on my feet.

"How come you get to be so skinny?" She spits, causing me to take a step back. "I-I don't know." I stutter, knowing if I told her 'because you never feed me' I would definitely be paying for it for a long time. 

"You are all skin and bones!" She exclaims, causing an involuntary whimper to slip through my lips. "God, I hate you!" She screams, pushing me into the counter top. I whimper, grabbing at my bruised hip bone. 

"Get out of my sight." She hisses, causing me to nod before scurrying myself to my room. I then lock myself in my room, hiding under my blanket like it were an invisibility cloak.

"It isn't my fault!" I scream in defense, curling in a ball in front of Austyn. "What? No, of course not." He says, surprised to hear me speak. I wipe my eyes, making sure not to mess up my make up in the progress.

"Shh, it's okay. Why don't we go wait for Dax out front, yeah?" He asks, causing me to nod. He wraps his arm around my shoulder, causing me to shake. "It's okay, he's just around the corner." He soothes, taking me out the front door and down the winding stair case. 

"Luna, are you okay?" Voices ask, causing me to start shaking again. "It's okay, I'm taking her to Alpha." Austyn replies, causing the people to nod, telling me to feel better. He then opens the door, ushering me outside to get some fresh air. 

"It's okay." Austyn soothes, looking down at me. We then see a black car pull out, Daxton's sports car, no doubt about it. I feel my heart start racing as he turns off the engine. I then hear the door open before Daxton steps out, closing it again. 

The minute I see him again, my heart stops. He is so breath taking as he sweeps his brown hair out of his ice blue eyes. He grabs his suitcase out of the back seat, before turning and approaching Austyn and I.
