Blood and Chocolate

Chapter Three

When we get home, I am surprised to see a lot of members from the pack. I mean, we always have wolves in here but not as much.

Michael gets off the car without another word to me. I watch as Caleb, his Beta, meets him halfway and whispers something in his ear. I watch as Michael's eyes begin to darken as he yells, "What?"

Ugh. I've always hated pack drama. All packs know is to be fighting. Packs against packs, why can't they just be peaceful? Just hang out? No, they have to go around and show everyone how tough they are. It is just stupid.

I sigh then walk out of the car and walk past everyone. Ignoring them as if they weren't there.

"Leila-"

I interrupt Michael raising my hand. "I don't want to hear it."

I hear a growl but ignore him. Michael has always hated it when I don't obey him in front of the pack. He says that it makes him look weak when he can't even control his own little sister. I sincerely do not care about anything about the pack. Michael is my older brother not an Alpha, that's all I care about.

I make my way up the stairs, into my room. I throw myself on the bed with a loud sigh. My life officially sucks. I just hate it. Everything about it is wrong.

I hear the door open.

"I don't want to see anyone." I warn looking up the ceiling.

"Not even me?"

I sit up and smile when I see Ethan. He walks and sits next to me.

"Suspended for a week, huh?"

I shrug. "Now I have to find somewhere else to go."

He turns to look at me. "You really don't like the pack, do you?"

I shake my head. "No, I don't. It's like a whole other world that I have no desire to be a part of."

"But you are." He whispers so softly that it is because of my wolf that I hear him.

"No. I'm not. I will never be. Why can't you and Michael understand that?"

"Because you are one of us, Leila. It is not a choice. Whether you want to or not, you are a werewolf." He points to my chest. "You may be able to resist her right now but there will be a day when she will come stronger her than ever. She is never going to disappear, Leila."

My eyes begin to well up with tears and I gulp the knot that has formed in my throat. I stand up and look for chocolate.

I can hear my wolf howling inside me. She is telling me that Ethan is right, but I don't want to hear it.

"Shut up." I tell her putting chocolate in my mouth.

Apparently, Ethan thinks that I was talking to him.

"Okay. But just because I don't want to fight with you. Not right now." he says.

I frown at his words. "What do you mean 'right now'?"

He walks to me and places my hands in his. "Leila, our pack is under attack. Darkmoon is attacking us as we speak."

So that's what's wrong.

"Oh." I say bluntly.

"You have nothing to worry about. Michael will never let anything happen to you and neither will I. I-" he places his hand under my chin and makes me look at him. "I love you, Leila."

I smile and crash my lips against his.

"I love you too, you idiot." I say against his lips.

His chest vibrates with laughter. "You can't just be nice for once, can you?"

I shake my head. "Nope."

We laugh as he kisses me again.

Ethan is the only reason I am not curled up in a ball right now. He makes my life seem better.

He suddenly freezes.

I look up at him. "What's wrong?"

He sighs as his eyes begin to turn into a black shade. "The attack has gotten out of control." He grabs my hand and pulls me out the door. "Come on!"

My heart begins to run faster at every growl I hear as we make our way out. The growls are angry, the kind that makes goosebumps run all over your body.

The last time I heard growls like this, my parents got killed.

My heart skips a beat when we walk outside the house and I see al the wolves fighting each other.

My heart is beating uncontrollably and my hands are getting sweaty. I begin to breathe heavily as I look at all the aggressive wolves killing each other. The truth is that I kind of hot tramautized when my parents were killed. I saw all of it so that didn't help. This kind of thing scares me to death and I feel the blood drain from my face when I see Michael fighting with them too. He is in his full, red-brown, big wolf. He kills the wolf and then his eyes meet mine. He walks to us and transforms right in front of us.

He looks at Ethan. "You need to get her out of here."

"What?" I ask but they ignore me.

Ethan nods once. "Do you want us to hide?"

Michael shakes his head. "This war will be going on for a while. Damian has already threatened me with killing her. Take her as far away from here as you can. I don't want you to come back until I contact you. Take care of her. If anything happens to her, you are dead."

Ethan nods once again then takes my hand. "Let's go."

"What? No!" I yell.

Michael looks at me with a sorrowful look. "I am sorry." He says then pecks my forehead. He turns around and explodes into his wolf again. Before I know it, Ethan is running away dragging me with him. I am in shock. All I know is that I have to follow him. He turns into his wolf in the woods. He moves his head to the side, motioning me to get on top of him.

I am trembling but I hop onto him. The breeze hits my face as Ethan runs on full speed. Taking me away from Michael. Taking me away from my life.
