In the Moon's Light

Chapter 11: Most Important Meal of the Day

Kat's POV:

I take one last breath through my nose before entering the kitchen. I catch a small whiff of the air as I pass through the door and almost decide it's not worth it, but then I see him smiling at me. Go to him. No, settle down please Crescent. You promised you'd behave.  

"Ah, there she is now. Alright you guys, this is Kat. Kat this is John from last night. Alec, Melissa, and Pete...all seniors here. And this is Logan and Susan, but we all call her Storm. Logan is the.......PE teacher and a sub, well sometimes. And Storm here is one our science and History teachers for the upper classmen."

I can feel myself force a smile onto my face, as all these guys continue to smile at me. Well everyone but that Logan guy. He looks pissed off to be here right now......I think that I would get along pretty well with him.

"It's nice to meet you. John, thank you for last night, as I told Michael you two saved my life."

"It was no problem Kat I assure you, I'm just glad we were there. I always knew clubbing would lead to good things eventually."

As John chuckles quietly to himself I glance at Michael and see that he is giving me a curious look, and somehow I know it's because I'm forcing myself to smile. Great, he'll probably ask me about that later. Something else to look forward to now as well.

"Well Kat, it is nice to meet you but now I've got to get these seniors back to or rather in class. We will see you later though I'm sure." (Storm)

"Yeah we will! See yah aroun Kat." (Alec)

Storm leaves first with John. Alec smiles and winks at me as he walks out, followed by Melissa rolling her eyes towards Alec and smiling at me. The other guy, Pete?, walks out behind them with a wink and a sneaky looking grin. Logan is the last to leave to kitchen with a head nod as the only recognition towards me. Yep, we would get along just fine. I turn around from the direction of the door, dropping the fake smile in the process, and find that Michael is still staring at me.

I guess it's just going to be me and him for breakfast together. I forget my rule and breath through my nose but only once. Luna, he smells delicious. His scent is registering as mine.......not like my own scent but that he is mine. Which means.....oh shit no.......Luna really?

I told you he was ours and we are his! Thank you Luna thank you!  Are you not even at all concerned that he doesn't have a wolf?!? No, because we will go through linking ceremony and he will be given one. He is ours and we are his!

Shit. Shit. Shit. I sigh internally and realize that he has been staring at me this whole time, and what's worse is now I'm scared I may have scared him off. Great, now I really do care. Just shit Luna. She just had to give us our link when we're still on the run for our lives, not to mention a link without a wolf. Great. Just fantastic.

"Soo....Kat. What would you like for breakfast? Eggs, bacon, toast, cinnamon rolls?"

I would settle for a piece of you right now. Me too, but not to eat......oh my Luna. Thank the moon we didn't say that out loud. Crescent, please don't cause any trouble for me right now. Let's just eat in peace.

"Whatever is easiest, nothing sweet though."

His scent is so sweet anything that was supposed to taste sweet would dull in comparison and quickly. He turns around and turns the stove on, before saying "eggs and toast it is." I sit at the island and watch him cook, neither one of us says a word. I feel that he wants to ask me something, so I wait as I watch him cook the eggs.

"Did you sleep alright last night? I umm...well I couldn't help but notice that the bed looked like it hadn't been touched. I thought you had left."

He whispers the last part, and I'm not sure he meant for me to even hear it. Well here goes nothing.

"Yeah, I slept fine. Actually fell asleep on the bathroom floor I was so tired."

He turns around and looks at me with sad look on his face, slowly nodding his head. He gets two plates out with silverware as he scoops up the eggs and plates the toast. He wants to ask me something else, and I brace myself for the next question.

"Did you....did you not feel safe enough to sleep in the bed because of....well because of me? Because of the kiss?"

"What?.......No, I felt as safe as I could have been here. Though your kiss did catch me off guard a little."

"I'm sorry about that. I've always been a little impulsive and I just really like you even though we just met......I'm sorry. Too much information?"

Oh please........please let's trust Luna. She would never give us a link that would hurt us. Please.         Ok, ok. You win. I only hope I don't end up saying I told you so. Since when has that ever happened in your favor?  Haha Crescent very funny. But sadly true.

Michael's POV:

I end up holding my breath as I wait for her to answer me. My entire world depends on what she's going to say in the next minute or so. I can tell she is thinking it over as she scrunches her nose up and stares at the table.

"No......umm no that's not too much information. I umm....well I...."

I can feel my heart beat faster, she looks up at me and I can see that the walls that she surrounds herself are down. Her eyes are that warm soft looking emerald green again but she looks hesitant, almost afraid to answer my question. That cold look isn't returning but I can't figure out if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

"Umm...here is breakfast while you ponder if you ever want to finish your thoughts haha."

I set the plate down and force a chuckle out to make sure she knows that I'm just joking. I don't want to pressure her into doing something she doesn't want to. I see her blush slightly as she looks up from the plate  I set in front of her and meets my eyes.

"I like you too, and I don't know why."

I feel my heart leap into my throat I'm so happy. I smile at her and her blush gets deeper before looking back into my eyes and smiling. A true, wonderful, absolutely beautiful smile.

"You have the most beautiful smile I have ever seen. I told you I could make you happy if you let me try."

Kat's POV:

I can't help but smile more when he tells me my smile is beautiful. He sits next to me at the island as we eat in silence for a few minutes. I need to get in contact with Maria and ask if she knows what warehouses the dealers are set up in this week. Which means that I need to get a phone, a ride to one of the warehouses, and cash to pay for the blood all while trying not to attack this guy sitting next to me.

The funny part is, I don't know if  I would attack him for his blood or his body right now. Maybe both.....I would attack him for both right now if you'd let me. Exactly why Luna puts the human in control of the wolf. Hmmpphh.
