As If One Wasn't Bad Enough (sequel to The Cursed Wolf)

As If One Wasn't Bad Enough (11)

Guten Tag! So hey hello hi! This is the point in the story where I must tell (well, admit) that I'm having troubles thinking of what comes next (AKA writer's block) So sorry if the next few uploads suck the lemons and are shorter than ur shorts shorts.... Well, I hope this will pass soon, but who knows.... I'm hoping to have 20 something chaps on this story so lets see how that turns out.... Enjoy!

Listen to that song. It has no specific relevance to this chap or the story but its the song I've been obsessed with lately so play it, love it, obsess it!!!!

Cara

“Um, hey.”

I turned around to see Duke behind me, his fingers woven in his hair casually.

“Hey,” I said, my voice unnaturally soft and high. I cleared my throat, trying once more. “Hey, so what’s up?”

“Nothing much,” he said, shrugging. “You?”

“Fine as wine.”

I mentally slapped myself in the face. Really Cara? Really? How pathetic!

Duke looked amused and cracked a relaxed smile.

“Good to know,” he said. “So hey, I heard from your brother that you had a mate.”

If I were drinking some liquid, I would be spewing it all out right at this moment.

“Um yeah,” I said slowly. “We’re werewolves of course we’d have one.”

He grinned at my sheepishly.

“Uh, who is it? Someone I know?”

It’s you, you big idiot!

“Yeah, you could say that.”

“Have you told him yet?”

“Yeah,” I blurted. Again. I mentally slapped myself.

“Oh, that’s great,” Duke said, smiling. I nodded. “Are you happy?”

“Yeah, he’s great,” I said, lying through my teeth.

I need to keep some pride. If he wasn’t going to accept me, at least I need to pretend that I’m happy.

“Will I be able to meet him someday?”

“You interested?” I asked, raising my eyebrows and wondering why he had taken a sudden interest in my love life.

“Nah, just wondering.”

“Curiosity killed the cat.”

He laughed. “Too bad, I’m a wolf.”

“Touché.”

“Well good for you, Cara,” he said. “I knew there would be someone to love you.”

He turned around and left me standing there were my heart beating so fast I worried my heart was going to burst.

What a weird thing to say on his part though.

‘I knew there would be someone to love you.’

The words constantly flowed through my head. It was as if it was kept on repeat and there was no way to stop.

Maybe there is someone who loves me out there. My family. My friends. But not the one person I wished did. You Duke. I wished you loved me.

I shook my head, ridding myself of such thoughts. I knew right from the start, ever since I realized that I harbored such feelings for Duke that it would be one sided forever. Never mind the fact that I have a feeling we’re mates, he could reject me, which I feel he’d do.

The thought brought on a depressing mood and all I wanted to do was indulge in a sappy sad movie and eat a carton of mint chocolate ice cream with Oreos. A girl needs to cope somehow.

“That you, Car?”

My mom’s head peeked out. Her lipstick was smeared. Right behind her was my dad who had a red tint on the corner of his lips. Awkward. But cute. How I wish I had that!

“Hey,” I said, smiling.

“What’s wrong?” my dad asked. “Who do I have to beat up?”

I looked down at the carton of my ice cream and Oreos.

“I’m fine, dad,” I assured him, but more me than him.

He narrowed his eyes. “Is this something you need to just tell your mom?”

“Honey, I’m here to talk if you need me,” my mom said. “I was a teenage wolf at one point in time too.”

“I’m good. Thanks for the concern.”

I plastered a smile on my face and went up to my room and locked the door. I put in ‘The Notebook’ and readied myself for the tears.

AWWWWWWW!!! Will Cara and Duke be together? Soon? Ever?
