I open my eyes and find his disturbing brown ones staring at me. "Shhh." He says putting his finger to his lips and motioning towards Nora, my mom's friend's daughter who is staying with us until her parents come back from a week cruise. I had hoped her presence would make him not do anything and he hadn't for three days so far. I close my eyes to hold back the growing tears as he gives me his smile he always has before he touches me.

"Baby doll we have to be quiet tonight to make sure we don't wake your little friend." He says before moving on top of me and taking all my clothes and his off. Once he was down he rips into me and I hold back my scream as the pain overwhelms me. He continues tearing me apart while I turn my face and look at Nora.

As I watch her sleep peacefully I wish that it was her in my place instead of me. I wish all this terrible disgusting pain onto her. She hasn't done anything to me and is probably a nice girl but I wish that I could be sleeping right now while her will to live slowly falls away. The ii could be in an ignorant bliss to what is happening right next to me.

I look at her once more and see her eyes are barely open and she is looking at me with fear in her eyes and tears running down her cheeks. She looks at me like she's about to move or do something. "No." I quickly say to her but Richard unknowing to the fact she is awake thinks I am speaking to him. "Baby doll who do you think you are speaking to. You can tell me no when you are mine. Do you here that, you're mine, I own you and all you are. Know show your step daddy how much you love me before I wake up Nora and see if she's better then you." He says holding my face painfully in his hands. All I can do is nod and stay look at him in silence.

At some point he finally leaves. After he is gone for a few minutes I quickly get up and run into the bathroom where I start vomiting in the toilet. Not because I was just violated, but because I am disgusted with myself. How I could wish this upon anyone, how even now I still wish someone else had to deal with this. I shouldn't think this, it's terrible and revolting. I deserve this, I deserve all of it. I am a disgusting human who has earned this for thinking this way.

Waking up at ten in the morning asleep on Patty's couch is not how I pictured my morning going. I really didn't expect to be woken up because of a knock on the door that turned out to be a very distressed Tate. "I tried to give you space and be a gentlemen but I can't take it anymore, not having you with me is making me a mess. I need to know that you are only a few feet away to be able to sleep at night, that if you need me I can be there for you in seconds, and when I just always need you." Tate says in between deep breaths.

I turn around and see Patty awake and wide eyed watching this go down. Quickly I pull the door shut and on the front porch with just Tate. "Tate I..." I start to say but am cut off when he starts to speak again. "No don't speak if you are telling you have thought about and you can't deal with the fact I am not human. Only speak if you tell me that you will come home with me right now and never leave me again because I don't think I could survive loosing you Haven. I have only known you for a few months and I already think I am falling in love with you. No I know I am falling in love with you." He rushes out while I stand there with my mouth open in complete shock of what he just confessed.

"Uh I um uh." I manage out while he just stares at me like I might disappear any second. "Say something please." He urged. "I read in the book Nana gave me that your kind can't be with humans." I told him. He doesn't say anything but starts to laugh uncontrollable. I watch him confused why he is laughing at this. "Is that why you have been avoiding me for so long?" He questions as his laughter starts to die down.

"Yeah." I mutter to him. "Haven those rules were made in the 18th century, no one follows them anymore. Even if they were still emplaced I wouldn't let them stop me from being with you, of course only if you will have me. There isn't any pressure here it's okay if you don't want me. I mean I would be devastated and heartbroken but it would be okay." He starts rambling half way through and I just smile as he gets all flustered and worried.

"Good because I am falling in love with you too." I admit to him making his nervousness disappear and joy over fill his beautiful face. "Does that mean you will come back home with me?" He questions hoping for me to yes. "Of course I'll come home with you. There is nothing I would rather do." I answered him. "I just need to grab my things first." I tell him before opening the door to be greeted with Patty who falls down in front of me since he was leaning against the door.

"Oh um hey, I am going to go now." He says looking at Tate and I from his position on the ground. He quickly gets up and runs away before we speak to him. "That pup has always been a little off." Tate informed me as we walked into the room I was supposed to stay in. "Wait Patty is a Lycan too?" I ask him. "Yes most of the people in this town are Lycans and if they aren't they know about them." He revealed. "Wow." I reply not knowing what else to say." "Yes very much wow." Tate says smiling at me while he grabs my bags and then my hand.

I quickly grab his hand back enjoying the instant warmth that overcomes me whenever we touch. "Do you want to tell Patty goodbye before we go?" He asks while directing us towards the front door. "No I am pretty sure he is still listening to everything we are saying so he already knows." I find I am correct when I hear Patty's muffled voice through the wall. "Bye Haven!" He shouts at me. I just smile and shake my head before leaving Patty's house and heading back to mine. As I am walking to Tate's car hand in hand with him I realize something. I am happy, for the first time in a long time I am finally genuinely happy and I can't see anything changing that.
