Fallen Angel

Chapter 5 ~ Temptation

Chapter 5 ~ Temptation

I sat in front of the mirror, whilst brushing my long hair out, only wearing an over-sized shirt I had found in one of the drawers. I placed my brush down, running my fingers through my still wet hair from my shower.

Angel Percy, are you there? I asked. I really needed someone I trusted to talk to, to sort through all the mess in my head.

Yes, Nina? He replied.

Why am I so confused about everything?

Because you are not used to Earth yet. You need time to adapt.

Why do I feel so weird around Scott? And why do I feel like I can trust him and Brax? Is it because they're Alpha and Beta?

No, it is because Scott is your mate. The person you have always meant to be with. You can trust them because they want to protect you. Since they are Alpha and Beta, they can feel each other's feelings, and Brax has a desire to protect you, but not as strong as Scott. Also, Scott will feel like he wants to protect Brax's mate as well.

Do you think I can trust them?

Yes. Scott is your mate, he will even give up his own life to save yours. He would rather die than tell anyone your secret.

But I don't want him to get hurt over it.

Then it is your option to tell him. It depends on whether or not you can trust him.

I do trust him, with all my heart, but I'm worried about what he will think.

If he is a true mate, then he will not care what you are. You are an angel, Nina. Not some type of monster.

I have seen the dead, the underworld. It must scare him that I have been dead, and am still dead to some degree.

Being a fallen angel is... hard, to say the least. You are rejected from your race. Yet, he is a Lycan. Everyone has secrets Nina, but whether or not you decide to tell someone, is your choice, not mine.

Thank you, Angel Percy.

My pleasure, my dear. Get to sleep. I cut off our conversation, pulling the cream covers back on the bed, and slipping under them. The soft silk was like butterflies kissing my skin, gently hanging over my waist. I tucked an arm under my pillow, resting my head on it. I shut my eyes, crossing my feet together, and cuddling into the softness of the bed. I felt myself slowly being pulled down into darkness, and finally let myself be drag own into a deep sleep.

~Scott~

I glanced at my full mini-fridge, stacked high with new bottles of blood Brax and I had attained from Walker. That bastard is lucky he's still alive. I ran my hands down my face, my back taunt with stress hanging in my muscles. My wolf needed a run. I jogged down to the front door, taking a nice long deep breath of the cold fresh air. I could smell some of my prey, but decided it was too late, and I'd already drank today. Pulling my clothes off, I shifted into my large wolf, his sleek black coat shining in the moonlight, illuminating the small specks of grey within his coat.

My wolf's name is Maximilian, or just Max. He's a pain in the ass, especially about Nina. Nina... I was ecstatic that I'd finally found my mate, and I couldn't be happier that I got Nina. Even though I'd never met her, I was glad I had a woman such as herself. She's smart, beautiful, funny, kind and sexy as hell. My horny wolf keeps having visions of her beneath us, her moaning our name, and us running our hands over that sexy little body of hers.

Max, fucking stop doing that! I snapped at him.

I'm in control, and we both know you want it as well he taunted. I rolled my eyes in wolf form, picking up my clothes in my wolf mouth, and started running through the woods, dodging through the trees. I pushed my legs faster, my paws slamming against the ground and leaping over tree roots, logs and bushes. I saw Nina's cabin up ahead and growled in satisfaction. I stopped in the edge of the trees, shifting back into my human form, slipping the clothes on that luckily had a minimum amount of saliva on them. I slipped in the front door, and luckily, it was unlocked! She might have been waiting for me! I slipped the lock on, jogging quietly up the stairs, and peeking in the bedroom to the right. Nothing. Then to the left. I saw her gorgeous figure laid in a crumpled pile of covers, one of her long sexy legs stuck over the top of them. Her hair was laid out against the pillow, a small furrow on her brow. She looked so cute.

Quietly strolling round the bed, I tugged my shirt off and shoved my shorts onto the floor, leaving me in my boxers. I slid into the bed behind her, wrapping an arm round her waist, and pulling her back against my chest. She mumbled in her sleep, and I was afraid I'd woken her, yet, when I looked, her eyes were still shut. She suddenly rolled over and nuzzled her face into my bare chest, wrapping her arms around my torso. I smiled, even asleep she's cute. I kissed her head and placed my chin comfortably on top of her head.

"Sleep well, baby," I whispered, and slowly drifted off, my beautiful little mate in my arms.
