Chapter 10
Zack’s P.O.V.
Jay came back inside with a sad look on her face.
“Did you find out what was wrong?” I asked.
“Yeah, today was the tenth anniversary of their mom’s death. Did you know that?”
“No,” I looked down at Mickie who had a small frown on her face, “thanks for telling me though.” She nodded and left again, closing the door behind her. I pulled Mickie closer to me, loving how her bare skin felt against mine. I slowly fell asleep to her heartbeat.
I was woken up to something wet on my arm and chest. I opened my eyes and sat up a little. Mickie was crying in her sleep. I sat both of us up into a sitting position and rubbed small circles on her back. She opened her eyes and was gasping for air. I pulled her onto my lap and she buried her face into my shoulder. I grabbed my shirt that I had been wearing all day and slipped it over her head so she was more comfortable. She wiped at her eyes and tried to get away from me and I could tell that she hated crying in front of me.
“Shh…babe, it’s ok.” She leaned into me and tried to stop crying. “It’s ok, it was just a dream.”
Her eyes snapped up to meet mine, “No it wasn’t, it actually happened.”
“What are you talking about babe?”
“My mom was killed and I remember every detail.”
“I pulled her against me, “Babe, I’m sorry. I didn’t know.”
She wiped her eyes, “No, it’s fine.”
“Do you wanna tell me about it?”
“Sure.” She moved closer to me and rested her head back on my shoulder. “I was 6, Matt was 7, and Tristen was 8. All five of us were sitting downstairs watching TV when we heard noises outside. Mom and dad had just stood up when a brown wolf came crashing through the door. Mom was closest to the door and didn’t have time to shift. I didn’t see anything after that because Tristen had pushed me and Matt under the couch and he came under with us. I assume that dad shifted and they started fighting outside but I’m not really sure. Dad never came back when we were home. One day when we were at school he came and got all of his stuff. I don’t know what happened to the other wolf either.” She started crying again and I wiped them away. She wrapped her arms around my waist and I leaned both of us back so we were lying down again. She snuggled into me even more and we both fell asleep again.

I woke up to the alarm clock. I reached over and turned it off, careful not to move Mickie off my chest. She still had my shirt on but it was up around her waist and my eyes ran over her body. She was so beautiful and she didn’t even try I rolled over so she was underneath me and I decided to wake her up. I brushed my lips against hers to see if that would wake her up, but hoping it didn’t. I was in luck, she was still fast asleep. I kissed her again only harder and ran my hands up her back. She leaned into me and kissed me back. I trailed my tongue across her bottom lip asking for entrance but she pulled away making me groaning
