My Eternal Nightmare

Chapter 14

I’m going to kill him.

Definitely going to kill him.

Yup, I am going to kill this bloody lycanthrope.

“Excuse me?” I heard the male currently holding me ask.

“I said get your filthy hand off her.” Asher growled again making me roll my eyes.

What the hell was his problem? I hoped he wasn’t taking this marriage thing seriously. Perhaps it was just his animalistic side kicking in, being territorial and whatnot. I still hated it though, what the hell.

“I’m sorry; I’ll take care of this.” I said apologetically and brushed his hand off me.

“Uh, sure.” He said, looking slightly confused but backing away nonetheless.

I walked over to Asher and grabbed his hand, pulling him with me as I walked towards the front yard. People had stopped staring at this point. It was really dark out now; somehow, it made me notice the palm trees everywhere more as the streets were illuminated by street lights.

“What the hell is your problem?!” I yelled at him shoving him unto Nathan’s perfectly mowed lawn. He didn’t expect it so he stumbled and fell on his back. “Tell me!” I yelled again, not giving him time to reply. “What is your problem?!”

He got off from his back but stayed in a crouching position, head bowed. He seemed to be struggling with something.

“I’m waiting.” I said, voice low.

“I’m sorry.” He said, his voice low but not from anger. It sounded like a genuine apology and it almost moved me.

Almost.

“I don’t believe you.”

He sighed and finally got up. I saw something flash through his eyes for a moment but it was gone as soon as it had come. His eyes turned cold and hard. “It doesn’t matter,” he replied. “We’re leaving.”

“No.” I shot back immediately and he let out a growl.

“I said we’re leaving.” He ordered taking strides towards me. He grabbed my arm and tugged me, towards the direction of the car I presumed.

“Let go, Asher!” I yelled and fought back.

He turned to face me and grabbed my shoulders. His nostrils flared and his jaw set, he opened his mouth probably to snarl something at me but I stomped his foot, as hard as I could. He immediately let go of me and I slapped him hard.

“Don’t ever fucking touch me.” I yelled at him and he stared at me like it was taking everything in him not to snap my head.

Good, because I felt the exact same way.

He took a deep breath and seemed to be calming himself.  He closed his eyes and reopened them shortly. His eyes had morphed into a wolf’s and I resisted the urge to try to slap it off him.

My palm was itching to slap him again but, surprisingly, for the third time that night, I was hit with another wave of nausea I was unable to fight off, and I threw up right over Asher’s shoes. I didn’t have the strength to be embarrassed or perhaps even somewhat glad I ruined his Vans. I mean, even I know you don’t necessarily wear Vans to pool parties. I sunk to my knees, with my left hand on the floor to support me and my right on my stomach as I retched some really nasty, yellow fluid unto the ground; Asher had moved his feet away from me after a loud sound of disgust. I saw a bit of red in the vomit as I threw up some more and I knew it just had to be blood.

Asher seemed lost on how to handle the situation but seemed to decide to hold my hair back for me and let me just let it all out. I stopped throwing up after a few more seconds and wiped my mouth with my hand. I lazily slapped Asher’s hand away from my hair and tried to stand. I succeeded but was awfully light headed afterwards.

It felt like everywhere was spinning, or was that just me?

“I said d-don’t t-touch me.” I stuttered at Asher, before my eyes closed of their own accord and I fell backwards.

The last thing I remembered was feeling Asher’s strong arms as he lifted me, bridal style, before I could hit the ground. I let myself be carried by him as I was literally unable to protest. He was rather warm and I soon seeped out of consciousness.
