"GET OUT, YOU HAVE TO BE OUT OF YOUR MIND TO THINK THAT I WOULD BELIEVE THAT, GET OUT!" I screamed. "Please just hear me out, I'll leave right after if you want me to." Matt begged. I looked at the pained look in his expression it hurt me physically. I really didn't like that, but I couldn't let him walk out the door for some strange reason. "20 Minutes and I'm counting." I said as he sat back down on her bed. "Well your one for counting." Matt mumbled under his breath. "1..2..3.." I said angrily.
"Okay, in ou..uhh..our culture we are called Jackals. My kind make very strong close packs with many generations , which means there are many of us, which also means there would need to be a leader, and uh.. well that's me, I'm the alpha of the Midnight pack, And since you are my mate." he said pointing to me and smiling. "That makes you the Luna, as in "CO leader" of my..our pack."
I swallowed and looked at him. "That guy last night called me a Jackal, is that what he meant? Which doesn't make any sense because I'm not one of you, my eyes don't glow or any of that freaky stuff." His jaw tightened when I mentioned last night. "Well love, you being my mate and all you'd have to be a Jackal. Have you had any head aches or weird sense of feeling like there something wrong?" he reached for my trembling hands and looked deep into my eyes. "Yeah but that is just me thinking, I'm always on high alert and overly cautious." I brushed off his statement, he was the crazy one anyways right? "No love, that's your instincts kicking in, its very common."
I wanted to punch in square in the mouth, everything he said angered me. How dare he try to say I was a monster, some creature like him. Even though I thought these things I did not act on the because honestly in physically pained me to think of hurting him. "I think I've had enough strange for today, maybe you should leave." But as the words fell from my lips I regretted them, I didn't want him to leave at all. He winced like I had just struck him in the face. "Oh." was all he said, and he started to walk out the door and turned back to look at me, with so much pain in his face it felt like he had just struck me.
When I closed the door behind him I slowly scooted down the door frame to the floor and just listened for his foot steps but it was silent for a moment , but then I could her his heavy boot filled foot falls walking down the hallway. My heart began to break more and more with every step and tears began to fill my eyes.

When I awoke I realized it was dark in my apartment, *thud, thud,thud* I jumped so hard I nearly jumped right out of my skin. *thud thud thud* "XYLENE, I SWEAR IF YOU DON'T OPEN THIS DOOR I'M COMING THROUGH IT!" Tanya yelled at the door. "Okay, okay give me a sec!" I hollered back. I then saw that I had fell asleep right in front of my door. "hmm, I must of cried myself to sleep." I mumbled to myself. After unlocking the deadbolt and the two other deadbolts that had appeared on my door I opened it to a frantic Tanya. She plowed into me so hard we both nearly toppled over. "What the hell?" she said in utter annoyance and anger, checking me over. "What do you mean 'What the hell'?" I said with innocent curiosity at why she was so pissed. She gently pushed me away and crossed her arms " Well to start with you ran out of the club like a crazy person and then I found out Kyle got knocked-the-fuck-out and then after like 800 hundred million messages and me banging on your door to finally hear from you, you make me feel like a crazy person?" After I had let her take a couple of breaths I grabbed her hands and looked her in the eyes. " I'm sorry I worried you, I know I look a little banged up but I'm fine really an.." Tanya looked at me stupid. "What do u mean 'Banged up'?" she looked me over again with a questioned expression. "My cu.."I touched my face and didn't feel any pain. I then quickly ran to the bathroom to examine my face. When I got to the mirror I couldn't believe it, all the cuts and black eyes and bruises were gone. I lifted my shirt to check but sure enough they were gone to. "What happened the other night?" Tanya said looking worried, making me jump. "I don't know what happened, I had a bunch of.." My voice trailed off remembering all that Matt had told me. Instantly I missed him. Maybe I shouldn't have written him off so quickly I thought. "hello?" Tanya said exasperated. Suddenly I felt the need to keep Matt a secret until I figured everything out myself. I turned to looked at Tanya and shrugged my shoulders. " I don't know, I guess I must of drank to much and just decided to go home. She looked at me with obvious knowledge that I was lying, but she rolled her eyes and shrugged. "Alright well I'm glad your safe and don't ever scare me like that again. I grabbed her in a sudden hug. "I wont." She sighed and then smiled. "Alright what do you want to do tonight while I'm here?"
