Stay

Chapter Ten


I woke up to a ray of sunlight streaming through the curtains. Groaning heavily, I turned over and threw a pillow over my head. How could it be morning, already? The only thing I remembered from the other day was Annie and Dakota getting in a fight and Charlotte discovering her mate was Chase. I sigh heavily and decided to wake Colt up. I throw the thick covers off my small body and yawn.


"Colt, we should go-," I stop mid-sentence when I look over to the other side of the bed.


Empty.


Suddenly, a coldness seeps through my bones causing me to shiver. I wrap my arms around my waist and pout. Where was Colt? I look over onto the bedside table, reading the clock. It's almost nine. I slept in for only about fifteen minutes, so why didn't Colt wake me up? I shake my head. He probably had some pack business to attend to and thought it would be better for me to sleep in.


I jump to my feet and strip off my dirty nightgown. I pad over to the bathroom, quietly, and slip into the shower. As I turn the knob to the hottest setting, my thoughts drift to Annie and our conversation yesterday. I frown. I wondered what she did those two years all alone in the forest with no one to take her in. I also wonder how she could still be so happy and energetic all the time. What pack would do that? I made a mental note to ask her next time I got a chance.


After I finished washing my body and hair, I turned off the shower and wrapped a white plush towel over my body. As I stepped outside into the cold air, my eyes locked onto Colt.


He was sitting on the bed, with his head in his hands.


"Colt, are you okay?" I asked wearily.


He looks up and his eyes widen as he takes in my whole form. I blush as I remember that I'm only wearing a towel. I open my mouth to apologize but the words get stuck in my throat and it comes out like a strangled cry. He slowly stands up and stalks over to me. His tall and muscular body looms over my fragile one. As I try to take a step back, a growl erupts from his chest and he pulls my body to his. Before i could protest, his lips descend onto mine, possessive and rough. I open my mouth, offering him entrance which he happily accepts. I wrap my arms around his neck and deepen the kiss.


Fireworks erupt in the pit my stomach. This feels so right, it feels so good. I know this is so cheesy, but I could literally stay the rest of my life wrapped in Colt's embrace. I never wanted to leave.


Remembering this morning, I pull my lips away from his. Another growl rumbles through his chest as he tries to reconnect our lips. I almost give in but I want answers.


"Where were you this morning?" I ask, curiously.


Colt rolls his eyes, causing me to raise an eyebrow.


"Forget about it, Amity. It's not important."


I take a step back, my feelings hurt. If it's not important, why can't he tell me? I cross my arms over my chest and glare.


"Tell me," I demanded.


Colt's eyes turned a perfect gold, signalling his wolf was angry. My eyes turned into saucers. Colt grabbed me roughly by the arm and slammed me into the wall. I hissed in pain.


"Amity, I thought we weren't going to have this conversation again. When I say something, no discussion," his deep voice demanded.


My body shook out of fear but I bowed my head, showing submission. Colt grunted some words that I couldn't make out before he stormed out of the room. Just enough time so he couldn't see the tears in my eyes.


_____________________________________________________________________________


I don't know how long I sat there, curled in a ball on the floor. My body was still damp and shivering with only a towel wrapped around me. Dry sobs still racked through my body, but no more tears. After about thirty minutes or so, they just wouldn't come out.


I am so stupid. I should of just done what my mom taught me all of these years. I am just meant to do whatever my mate wanted, no questions asked. No wonder Colt is mad at me. I am a horrible mate. As the realization dawns on me, I began to hyperventilate. My anxiety taking over.


Another attack.


I grab at my wet blonde hair and pull at it harshly. If I had not pushed Colt over the edge he would still be happy with me not angry. My body is shaking like a chihuahua now.


"Stupid, stupid, stupid," I repeat to myself.


I couldn't face him, knowing what I have done. I just couldn't.


I hear a knock on the door but choose to ignore it. More sobs pass through my body. Now, black spots dance across my vision. How could the fates be so cruel? I didn't deserve Colt. Actually, I didn't deserve anyone.


I hear another knock on the door.


"Go away," I scream, my own anger spiking.


I instantly regret it. What happen if that was Colt?


"Amity," a soft voice calls.


Annie? What was she doing here?


"Please. Go. Away," I beg.


I know Annie ignores me as I hear the familiar sound of the door being opened and closed. A soft gasp leaves her mouth. I didn't look up. I didn't want her to see how pathetic I was.


"Oh, Amity," she says sinking to a crouch and wrapping me in her embrace.


I hug her back. I didn't want to feel alone. I needed someone to hold me.


As tears finally begin to roll back down my face, Annie holds me tighter, soothing words escaping her lips.


I still didn't deserve this.
