Howler

Chapter XXXII

I am an early riser, always have been,ever since I was a child, maybe six. However last night I cried more than I ever had in my whole life and I slept late. I don't think that had ever happened before. "Abby honey?" I felt something shake me "nooooo" I groaned and I didn't even open my eyes "Abigail, come on honey wake up" I slapped away the hand that kept shaking me "Abby!"
"What!" I shot up to see my mother sitting on my bed looking slightly startled but mostly amused. "You know what you have to do today..." I rubbed my shoulders, I had started wearing other shirts to bed but I still refused to show my skin in public... they still hadn't healed. "How are they?" Mum gestured to the scabbing gashes that adorned my skin.

"Better, I guess" I fiddled with a stray string on my pink t shirt. "Come on A.P" mum grabbed me by the hands and pulled me upwards "you have to talk to Harry, you'll feel better when you do" I wasn't sure. "Did you and dad ever have a big fight before we were all born?" I asked walking towards my wardrobe "well yeah of course we did... there was girl who was in love with your dad. Her name was Erica and we fought about her all the time because even though we were mates she kept trying and her parents liked her more than me. They didn't like I was the daughter of werewolf immigrants and they hated that I wasn't of any special background. Most werewolves didn't care about that but your grandparents did" I didn't know a lot of that story "but the most important thing was that your father and I got through it and you and Harry will too so then you can have hundreds of fights for yourself" she laughed and kissed me on the top of head.

"Go and get him kid"

I grabbed my clothes and got ready, maybe if I prolonged it my um wouldn't make me do this. Taking a deep breath I began to walk to Harry's place. I didn't walk to the front door, I knew Harry wouldn't let me in so I walked up to the window and thank god it was open but it made me think did he ever close it?

I climbed in through the window and landed square on his bed. I could hear a shower running and after a few minutes Harry walked out the bathroom wearing nothing but a towel. "Holy shit" if that boy was a cartoon character he would have gone straight through the roof. "Harry-" I stood up and tried to go towards him but he stepped back so I sat back on the bed. "I'll call the cops"
"And tell them what that your werewolf girlfriend is sitting on your bed?"
"Yes?"
"Well then you'll be the boy who cried wolf"
"Doesn't he get eaten at the end?"
"I won't ever hurt you..." I looked him my heartbroken look reflected in his eyes. "I can't know that!" He yelled, he ran one hand through his hair and he walked over to a chest of draws and began to rummage. "I am not some rapid dog! I can control my shifting and I would never put you in danger!" I was getting pissed off now.

"What if-"
"No no you don't get to speak right now, me being with you was more a danger to me than you!" He cocked his head "what are you talking about?" I took a deep breath "you are my mate, a werewolves soulmate for life. You and I are bound to each other by a bond greater than the human condition." He looked so confused and overwhelmed he had pulled on a t-shirt now but a goal was still wrapped around his waist.

"Wait this too much for me I can't" he sat down next to me. "Werewolves and humans don't usually get matched together... especially werewolf girls and human boys, humans don't register a mate bond so that's why it took you awhile to warm up to me..." he kept staring at me "no that's not possible..." and I couldn't help it, I pushed him. "Damn it you don't understand how much pain you put me through! Every time you kissed Tia I'd get a pain in my head! The day you made out with her in front of the coffee shop I collapsed with the symptoms of the aneurysm! When you slept with her..."
"What happened when I slept with her?" I took a deep breath and stood up "this." Like the days in front of the pack I undid my dress and I heard Harry's choked gasps "your body..." I quickly did my dress up and he had his head in his hands "that's what happened to you, that's why you winced when I touched you." I nodded.

Was he starting to get it.

"But I can't I can't have this... your a werewolf! Your not supposed to exists!" He stood up exasperated and walked into the bathroom and moments later came back out in jeans. "I'm your 'mate' and what I'm supposed to be your what?"
"Would now be a bad time to tell you I'm the future Queen of my pack?" And I swear Harry could have fainted "oh my god..."

And for some reason I snapped.

"LOOK IF YOU DON'T TO BE WITH ME OR TAKE ON THIS LIFE I AM NOT FORCING BUT DAMNIT I WILL NEVER BE WITH ANYONE ELSE AND YOU WON'T BE WITH ANYONE LIKE YOU'D BE WITH ME! DAMNIT HARRY EITHER ACCEPT IT OR PLEASE STOP MY SUFFERING!" I was panting now and I felt like crying again.

"You can give me an answer but for now I can't even look at you" and I climbed back out of the window and walked back home.

"Mum?" I called into the house and I saw my whole family sitting in the living room. "What's wrong?" I could tell immediately that they were on edge "Abby...it's the elders"
"What about them?"

"They want to see you, in two days"
