It's Dark

Chapter 6

-Dylan's POV-

I stood In my living room and shook my head, it was a complete mess from me throwing everything under five pounds that wasn't nailed down at Riley's stupid head. I, Dylan kings was no Werewolf... Ugh the name disgusted me.

"I know it hard to understand but it's true." Riley had said calmly this morning. I bit back a growl and that surprised myself. I widened my eyes. "Shucks." I murmured rubbing a hand over my face and sat down.

Apparently my first change was supposed to be this full moon and from there I could shift whenever I wanted. It all came back and I realized I should've notice sooner. The disgust of bitter smells, the growling the locker punch and flares of anger and growing pains. I mean come on. I had stopped growing In 6th grade so why would I just randomly start growing again.

With another sigh I cleaned up the living room just in time I realized as my foster parents and little sister daisy came in. She wobbled over on her. Little legs as she fell into my arms I picked her up and bounced her at my hip. She played with my hair and giggled.

"Hey mom, hey dad," I said in a quiet voice and my foster mom lacy and to kiss my forehead. She was a principal at a middle school. And my foster dad mark was a professor at a nearby local college. "Hey sweetie how was ur day?" She asked and I shrugged. "Same old thing." I say and lacy smiled at me love sparkling in her eyes. "Me and mark wanna talk to you about something." Lacy says voting her lip and mark hands over papers. Adoption papers.

At first I panic thinking that someone was taking me away but then I looked closer and saw it was they're names on the sheet. "Dylan baby, we loved you ever since you set foot in are doorstep about three years ago, and well... We want you to be area for real. Are child. Lacy says. And even though daisy didn't know what was going on she bounced in my lap happily gurgling. My eyes started to tear up an I pulled lacy and mark into a hug and began crying yet again and lacy kissed my head brushing my tears away. "I take that a a yes?" She whispered happily eyes shining and I nodded.

Lacy took daisy from me and kissed my forehead once more and mark swooped me over his shoulder and I giggled yelled as he twirled me around the room. Today was by far the worst yet the best day of my entire life.

I walk upstairs to find shana asleep again curled up on James's chest. I sigh kinda jealous. I sit down I the floor in my pile of blankets and James wakes up. "Thank you dylan." I hear him at from up in the bed and I home out a small laugh. "For what?" "For being... So kind to me for Doug this to shana." James said and I sit up.

"After you explained it to me...I couldn't be mad at you... You guys were me at to be together apparently or your wolf wouldn't have bonded with her. James shrugs and shana stirs I her sleep wrapping her frail arms around james. "Dylan, you'll make a great wolf, I just know you will." He says and I smile. "That's when I know James was my friend. "Yea she will, now shut up."shana says rolling off of james and siting up with a yawn.

"You know?" I say with a gasp. Shana shrugs. "Of course I have all of James memories and thoughts, of course I know." She pulls her knees up to her chest and pops her knuckles. "Ugh I'm hungry." Shana murmurs and James nods popping out the window.

Shana raises a brow and closes her eyes looking like she was really thinking and when she opened then she wa smiling a ton. I raise a brow and she shrugs. "Dylan.." She says suddenly in a serious tone. "How did are lives get so messed up I mean I'm bonded to a werewolf and you are a werewolf an four days ago we were just ballerinas with dreams of getting out of this stupid town.

"And I know I met James like four days ago but... I know everything about him and every minute I feel like Im falling for him an what about the kids at school will they think I'm a skank for being with him after only four days" Shana whispers. I nodded to show my understanding and crawled up on the bed next to her bestfriend.

"It's okay shana it's not your fault an it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks about your relationship. It's not about them it's about you and james. And the way James explained the bond to me, This was MEANT to be and you shouldn't feel embarrassed about it because they're really was no way to stop it." Shana nodded smiling at me one of her dimples popping out and she looked down at herself. "Ugh Im a mess." And she rushed into my bathroom. I giggle knowing that shana was okay.

I look down at my vibrating phone and Saw a new iMessage I but my lip and opened it.

Riley: can I come in?

I raise my eyebrows lookig around and go to my window seeing Riley outside I nodded and he climbed the house easily and slid into my room. "Hi.' I say quietly and Riley smiles. "Hey." "Look I'm sorry for the way I acted earlier an-" Riley cuts me off putting a finger to my lips. "It's ok." He tells me and my cheeks redden as he removed his finger. I giggle nervously.

"Dylan ummm," I lol up at him brows raised. "Umm." He stutters and my heart skips a beat at the cute werewolf trying to say something to me. "Will you go on a date with me?" He asks and I blush a deep red. "Sure." He smiles and leans forward to kiss my cheek but shana walks out and ruins the moment. She was in a pink fluffy towel and her wet hair was wrapped in a black one probably so it wouldn't drop water all over the floor.

"Ooo la la." She says to us and she strips down never having been ashamed of her body looking for an outfit to wear she passes me on her way to my closet and Riley averts his eyes but you could tell he saw something judging from the fact that his face went red and he sat down on my bed covering his mid drift with a pillow.

I glare at him and he mouths sorry. James comes in through the window and has a bag from Dublin Donuts in his mouth an a steaming cup of coffee in his other hand and looks around finding shana and what he sees made him yelp dropping the bag and spilling the coffee on the floor. At least shana had gotten underwear on but had been looking for a bra to fit her for awhile. I yelp the smell of coffee burning my nose and shana sighs slipping on a robe seeing James practically drooling over her and Riley red faced.

Shana went to clean up the coffee off the hardwood floor. Once she was done she threw the towel she had used in the waist basket. Her hair had curled up alot in the shower and was now a wild mess. Shana finally finds one of her bras in the back of my closet and slips it on under her robe then take the robe off sliding on an oversized brown coco pebble shirt and sweatpants.

James recovers quickly and growls at Riley who was eyeing shana. I hit Riley upside the head and he yelps like a pup. "Sorry." He mutters able to stand up now that his problem was gone and I fold my arms over my chest anger emitting from me like a volcano. James goes over to shana and wraps a arms around her waist protectively while leaning down kissing her temple and she giggles.

"You are mine, no one else can see you," he murmurs clutching her to his chest and she turns burying her face in his shoulder standin on her tip toes and even then he had to lift her a little so she could put her head there. Shana trembles in his arms I had a feeling more because of his touch then being frightened.

Riley looks down at me resting a hand on my hip. "I'm sorry okay, it just happened and it won't ever happen again." He tells me and I nod biting my lip and he smiles warmly at me. "We'll I guess the party started without me right?' Says Erin as she sits on my window ceil and I blush pulling away from Riley but shana an James were stuck in they're own little world murmuring things to each other.

"Um... I'm not meaning to ruin the mood here but our parents would like to meet Shana and Dylan." Says Erin and Riley stiffens beside. "All hell." He mutters and clutches the wooden bed frame a peice snaps off in his hand and he gives me a sheepish smile as I ponder what meeting he parents would be like.
