Morphine: Drugged is the New Paradise

Chapter 6 Ariel

Author's Note: I just want to give my readers a heads up. I use the term 'bitch' but it is not meant in a vulgar way. I am using the correct defintion of the word, which is 'female dog'. I didn't want any misunderstandings. Thanks for reading.

Ariel's POV

It has only been an hour since Eli left and I already miss him. It had to be the bond he was talking about. I hated that bond or whatever it is. My body was weaker and it was hard to breath. I couldn't stand upright, my mom thought it was because I was out in the rain and that I was coming down with a cold. I knew it wasn't.

I laid in the bath tub soaking up the warmth of the water. I laid there unable to move my body. I turned my head to see the time. It was almost midnight. I had to go out. Tonight is the night of the full moon and I had to search for others like me. It was supposedly when wolves howl, but the only howling I hear is the sound of my echo. I felt like I was the only one out there. No one howled in return. I had to keep trying, I couldn't give up.

I stumbled out of the tub, and dried off. I wrapped the towel around me, and Julie waltzed in.

"Hey, you doing okay? It sounded like you might have fallen out of the bath tub?"

"I'm fine."

She looked at my shaking knees, and I turned away from her.

"What's going on?"

"The bond."

"The bond?"

"The mates' bond."

"Oh, so you're buying the whole mate thing?" She asked.

"I didn't at first."

"Then what happened?"

"My behavior changed. I remember that I couldn't breathe when I asked him to go. I begged him to stay the night, I ran after him, I didn't want him to leave. I pleaded to him to come back as soon as he could." I explained, "I mean he called us mates. Our chemistry is strong, when he is not here I feel weak and helpless. I could barely get out of the bath tub."

"That's so strange."

"You think, but you're not the one dealing with it." I snorted. "Also to think, remember when I touched Eli? His body shook."

"Yeah so?"

"Julie, come on." I looked at the clock, ten minutes til midnight, "I gotta go."

"Go where?"

"To go feed my werewolf's appetite."

"Which means..."

"I am going to go search for others."

"How long have you been doing that? Every full moon for the past six months, no one is out there."

"I have to keep trying."

I got dressed and went into the living room, mom and dad were sitting on the couch. Mom was reading and dad was watching tv. I walked up to them, "I'm going out."

"Where are you going?" My mom asked, as she looked towards me. My dad turned off the tv and also turned to look at me. I had gotten their attention so easily just by a few words.

"It's a full moon." I remarked, "Where do you think I'm going?"

My dad looked relieved. They must have thought I was going to Eli. My mom got off the couch and made her way over to me. "Honey, I know you want to find more like you, but maybe there isn't any one." My mom sighed, "You've been trying for months. I think they would have answered you by now."
