Werewolf?

Finally Forgiven

*Arianna*

I woke up with a start. My hands shaking and beads of sweat on my forehead. My lungs were on fire as fear filled my veins. The horror replayed in my mind while I gasped for air.

Memories burning in my head. I couldn't breath. I cried out as I felt my body shut down.
"Help!" It came out as a whisper so I lost all hopes that I'd get help. Colors danced in front of my eyes and I felt numb. The door broke open while Theo stood in the doorway. The confused look on his face added to my list of worries. I was having a panic attack and he couldn't tell.

"Theo, help..." My voice weak. He rushed by my side and held my hand. Like that's going to help.

Just when I thought it was over, Theo smashed his lips on mine. His eyes fluttered close as mine widened in surprise. Recovering from my shock, I shut my eyes, letting Theo be in control. He slipped his tongue into my mouth and explored every part of it. A moan escaped my lips and he pulled away. He looked into my eyes as my face probably resembled a tomato.

"Are you okay?" He asked tenderly. I nodded. He reconnected our lips and things went from there.

I stared at the ceiling thinking over what Theo and I just did. My heart was leaping with joy while my brain scolded me for letting him take my virginity at 17. Maybe it wasn't so smart? But, I didn't care. I remembered the kiss and how it was better than Trayton's. Trayton. He completely slipped my mind. My thoughts were crowded by his amazing brother. I wondered where he was. He should've been back by now.

Then it hit me. How long have I been sitting here? I jumped to my feet and checked the clock. It read 5 pm. Rushing out the cream colored door, I walked down the hall, turning into an identical one. Eventually, I manage to get a hold of Caven. He was talking to a teenage girl who was gawking at him. Her eyes filled with two emotions: love and desire. I shook my head and jogged to the scene.

"Caven!" He snapped his head in my direction and smiled but his eyes betrayed him. They glistened as if hiding something. Something big.

"Caven, any news on Trayton?" I asked, ignoring the presence of the girl.
"No! None." He replied quickly.
"None aye? Are ya sure?" I batted my lashes and gave him a rather knowing look. He timidly nodded.

"Oh for fuck's sake, just tell me what you know!"

"Fine! Trayton is kind of... dead." I froze.

"What?!"

"Yeah, his body was found on our territory. I'm sorry." I waved my hand, dismissing the conversation. I felt no emotion. Nothing. Just a slight burn in my chest. Before I knew it, tears were flowing down my face. Trayton couldn't be dead. He promised. Theo suddenly appeared at my side.

"Don't worry, you still have me." A ghost of a smirk on his lips.

"No, actually I don't. Trayton cares for me. Loved me." He gave me an odd expression and sighed.

"Look, I'm sorry for the shit from earlier. I l-l you." He struggled over the three words and that made me happy. Not the fact that he struggled, but that he said he loves me.

"Will you forgive me?" I pondered it.
"Yes." His eyes instantly lit up. This time, I brought my lips to his and that was the beginning of my new life.
