Red Riding Hood

Five

"Jason and Mike here will accompany you wherever you go out. And only if you really have to go out." Sebastian said gruffly to me for the millionth time during breakfast. "I'm just trying to keep you safe, okay?"

"Yeah whatever." I grumbled while stuffing my mouth full of the delicious blueberry pancakes that he made. Yes, he is actually a really good cook.

He sighed in defeat. "Remember to do your part of the deal. I'll be going off to work."

"Fine." I'll play my part as the Luna in front of others, but I'll cause trouble when I'm not. Heh, I can be evil if I wanted to.

He just sighed a frustrated sigh before leaving to attend a pack meeting. Something about rogues appearing at their borders.

"Guys, I'm going for a swim, okay? Give me a minute to change." I told my bodyguards as soon as Sebastian left.

I quickly changed into my swimsuit - a two-piece bikini, and swam a few laps before growing bored. "Mike? Jason? I'm bored. Come swim with me."

"Uh... I'm not sure if that's a good idea." Jason said as he scratched the back of his nervously.

"He'll be furious when he gets back." Mike added. They're actually twins, but somehow I could tell them apart.

"Please?" I begged them until they finally said yes, and they came back shortly after getting changed.

We had a lot of fun racing, having a water fight, and just doing random things. And we were still having fun until a vicious growl broke the peaceful atmosphere around us.

"Oh. Hey, Sebby." I greeted the male casually. However, the blood drained from Jason and Mike's faces. "What's wrong?"

"Uh, um... we'll be going now." Mike quietly said before running back into the house with Jason, slipping a few times on the way.

"You're mine! No other male should see so much of your skin! We're going inside." Sebastian roughly pulled me up, and basically dragged me inside after wrapping a towel around me.

"What the heck is your problem? I'm allowed to do whatever I want, you know? It's one of my conditions to your so-called deal." I was furious by the time he closed the bedroom door behind us. "I got bored, okay?"

"That's not an excuse to get to close to other males with so little clothing!" He growled. He actually growled at me. That's just plain mean.

"Then what do you expect me to change into? I'm not wearing a scuba outfit while swimming." I huffed before going into the bathroom to take a shower. Of course, I grabbed a change of clothes before going in.

As soon as I came out, Sebastian went right in and locked the door behind him. Why is he taking a shower? I asked myself. I thought he only went to attend a pack meeting. Maybe they ran in the forest? Who knows, since they're not exactly human.

Shrugging, I headed to my favorite place in the world: the kitchen. After swimming and showering, I felt thirsty and hungry. From what Mike told me, everyone labeled their own food with post-its, but I could eat his share. He loves food just as much as I do.

I saw a whole shelf filled with food that has "Mike's. Do NOT touch" post-its on them, and got a bar of chocolate and a can of Sprite. Casually sitting on the couch in the living room, I saw him come in and grin at me, which I returned.

"Why was Sebastian so angry? I mean, I'm not his freaking property, for Pete's sake!" I complained as soon as he sat down next to me. "He went all 'You can't wear this, no one can see you like that' as soon as you guys left." I mimicked his deep voice, which probably sounded hilarious coming from me.
