Shadows (Book 2 in the Inner Wolf Series)

Chapter 5: Virgins?

After talking to Scott in the morgue Stiles and I went back to my house to finally get some sleep. We arrive at my house and the first thing I do is throw off my shoes and fall overdramatically on my couch.

"Finally I felt like my feet were going to fall off. That's it no more heels I don't care what Lydia threatens me with."

I yell out making Stiles laugh at my over dramatic self. I feel him lift up my feet and place them on his lap as he starts to massage my feet. Letting out a small moan at the work of his hands I start to really appreciate having Stiles as a boyfriend.

"I don't know why you bothered to listen to Lydia in the first place."

"I don't know I just did."

"Are you tired?"

He asks as I slightly nod my head, but tell him that I'm going to take a shower before I go to bed because I smell disgusting and most likely look disgusting too. Getting off of the couch both Stiles and I make our way upstairs as I realize my parents door is open. I never leave it open. Stopping in place I look around before closing my eyes and sniffing the air. Nothing seems different.

"Kai what's-"

"Shhh."

I tell Stiles as I slowly make my way into my parents room turning on the light I see nothing looks different. That was until I looked on the bed to a notebook sitting wide open. What the hell? I think to myself as I walk over to it wondering who the hell was in here going through stuff. Once I realize what notebook it is I quickly shut it before Stiles could see it and then turn around to see him standing right behind me.

"What was that?"

"Nothing just my diary with your name doodled all over it and I didn't want you to see it."

"Really?"

"Yea, sure. Let's get out of here it's bringing back bad memories"

I tell him making him nod his head as he grabs my hand and takes me out of my parents room shutting the door behind us and over to my room. Once we get there I hop into my bathroom as Stiles goes into my guest one. After our quick showers we both get into bed and finally rest after a long day.

"Hey Kai."

"Yes?"

"I'm glad your face finally healed."

"Me too. Try explaining that to the school tomorrow. Especially since my first cross-country practice is tomorrow."

I tell him making him groan in disgust. I forgot that this year coach is making the whole lacrosse team join the cross-country team so they stay in shape. Letting out a small giggle I tell Stiles that he will be okay as I place a small kiss on his lips. He hums in response before deepening the kiss. It lasts for a minute or so, but it felt like forever. If there is one thing I love most it's kissing Stiles.

Kissing him brings me to a whole new world and for just a small second I have no worries, I have no cares in the world, the only thing that matters is being there with him in that moment. He is my escape and my anchor and there is nothing I wouldn't do for him. I will protect him until my last breath and thats a promise.

As soon as we pull away we both whisper a good night to each other before closing our eyes and falling asleep. Tonights sleep is dreamless and peaceful which is strange considering everything I have been through should be stressing me out making my inner wolf try and take over torturing me with these crazy realistic dreams that usually end in my death.
