The Wolf's Bride

Chapter VII: Meet me

"...then Dwayne's gonna be left alone..but..considering we're not on speaking terms as of yesterday..it wouldn't matter," I mumbled pacing back and forth, now talking to myself instead of Dwayne, he won in our staring contest last night and he's been rubbing it on my face ever since...he keeps on mockingly blocking my view of the outside by stonily standing in front the entrance.

True, he's been there since birth...but still!

It was almost afternoon, Ethan hasn't been back, I kind of thought that he'd be back by breakfast but thinking back on it, he didn't say what time he'd visit and I wa....maybe he got into a fight with other trespassing rogues and got badly injured? No, he's too strong for...maybe he revealed that he was mated to a non-werewolf an..and..they forbade him from seeing me?

I'm probably over-thinking things.

He's...maybe he's just busy or ..maybe he realized I was too tiring and worthless to work for, he gains relatively nothing from me, even I know that.

And I won't blame him if he leaves me for that reason... crushing pain gripped my heart, I'm starting to doubt him.

I should stop doing that, he's been nothing but good to me, the least I could do is have some faith in him.

I'm becoming more and more icky mushy the longer I think of him..gosh.

Having slept once with Ethan by my side made me feel unsatisfied of the recent sleep, I blushed a bit at the way I worded my thoughts but I didn't dwell on it because I was missing him so much, more than I've anticipated, everything else was bland and dull now that I've experienced him, my thoughts consisted of him alone, nothing else registered, I hardly thought of eating breakfast, I don't even feel like eating lunch anymore, my whole being wanted only him, his unconditional..kindness, his voice, those blue eyes of his, the way he talked to me like a respectable equal, the courage to tell all, and so now I'm weighing down the pros and cons of the decision.

Barely a day passed and I'm already at my limit, I want to be with him now.

NOOOWWWW!!!

Geeeezz, I sound psychotic.

I felt cheated in a way...he gave me the choice, the right to decide on my own pace, but the tricking hunk made me addicted to his presence.

The pucking cheat! I ran towards the entrance, GAAAGHH! giving Dwayne a flying kick, annoyed.

"Stop mocking me you stupid boulder! I'm leaving with Ethan just to spite you! Ha! You'll be left here to rot! Alone!...in solitude! And loneliness!"

"A lone lonely boulder?"

"Yes!" I replied, "I think!" poking a finger at Dwayne, "you'll be here doing that!" He'll be so lonely he'll wish he...he.. wasn't a rock!

"And you'll be joining a pack just to...prove ..a point...to a rock,"

"Exactly,"

"I hope our pack survives past your reign, your mate's a nutcase."

"Hey!" I protested, facing where the young female voice came from, which was, surprisingly, just beside Dwayne.

"Oh shut it, Em," shockingly Ethan emerged from behind her, pushing past her and stood beside me, my hand immediately grasped his in a manner that expresses my longing for him, the girl smirked at the reaction.

I wanted to ask him what took him so long but thought against it, there really was no point in asking that when we didn't even establish anything other than we'll just keep seeing each other, especially not infront of sassy teenage strangers
