Chapter 8

Sleep did not come easily to me. I tossed and turned the entire night. My wolf was howling she wanted to go back to her mate. She had never acted this way and it really struck me as odd. She was smart, calculating and fun but when it comes to her mate? Oh man, then she would kiss the place he would walk on and I hated it.

I woke up with a startle. The dream was horrifying to say the least. Wiping my forehead of the sweat, I took a shaky breath in. It was a recurring event, I would dream about that one night that one stupid night that changed my world, changed me. I dropped my head on my palms and took deep calming breaths.

Glancing at the clock I realized it was already six in the morning. We would leave at six-thirty so there would be no point in sleeping again; I took a good long shower and scrubbed myself till my skin was red. I had to impress Gavin. My wolf was forcing too and a small part of me wanted me to dress up well too.

I had to dress to perfection, I wanted to look good yet casual and eye-catchy but not look like I was trying too hard. Settling on some light blue ripped jeans and a white tank top topping it with a dark blue blazer. We were going to travel in the car so my clothes would be in the clear, thankfully!

By the time I came down from my room the whole house was awake except for my darling Damon, lucky him.

As we ate breakfast I felt eyes on me. They were waiting for me to crack and burst into tears. Either that or they thought that I was going to back-out from the visit. I would bet on the latter.

My wolf was pacing constantly. She only cared to go to her mate and wanted me to mate with him then and there. YEAH RIGHT!

“Guys, stop staring!” I yelled at them looking up from my pancakes,

“I wouldn’t have asked if it weren’t important, you know…” Lorraine muttered and I already knew that she was beating herself up for making me go there. But I would have asked to visit him anyway. I wanted to see him not that I would ever tell anyone about the last part.
“You don’t have to feel bad babe. I volunteered to help and this is my chance.” I replied smiling brightly to show her that I really was okay.

“You will be leaving in an hour Del. Alpha Matt had some last minute business to take care of.” My dad informed.

“Okay.” I muttered and continued eating the pancakes.

“There is one more thing…” Drew spoke for the first time in the morning. For some reason he looked sad and guilty. I nodded my head for him to continue.

“We, uh, won’t be able to tag along with you.” He said and gulped loudly. I was left speechless.

“But, why are you leaving?” I asked in a low tone. “Well, we have to go to our pack. Alpha is going away and I am left in charge. So…besides, you will be able to convince him and you will have Damon here with you.” He said and smiled at me.

I sighed deeply and dropped my head on my palms. I needed them, Lo was my only friend who was a girl, she and Drew had just arrived and they were already leaving. I looked at Lorraine and saw un-shed tears in her eyes.

I was being selfish. That poor girl was leaving her son with us not only that, her pack was in danger too. I was acting on impulse which I shouldn’t have during these times. I smiled at them to the best of my ability. I had to act tough, I can’t go mushy and act like a baby like I did last time. I would have to step up and take responsibility, I mentally chastised myself.
