Chapter Ten

Drake

                That night I was nervous to go into her room for I was scared for tomorrow, knowing that she could end up hating me; I still had to go in though because I knew that she would be expecting me. When I walked into the room she was standing by the window allowing the full moon to cast a glow that made her look unearthly beautiful, I so I couldn’t help, but to pause and just stare at her. In that moment I also realized though that I want her to know that it’s me, even it is just for the fact that she knows.

                She quickly turned around when she heard door close softly, she spun around her stunning eyes were wide, almost like she was scared or worried. Then before I could step an inch towards her she ran across the room and threw her arms around my neck and burying herself into my fur.

                With her being so close I could feel the different emotions that were running through her, a few of them got me worried that something was wrong- fear, heartbroken, pain, and slight anger. I nudged her shoulder to get her far enough away that I could see her face. One she backed up a little, still close enough for her to keep her arms around my neck, I noticed that her eyes were brimming with tears.

I tilt my head at her, and tried asking what was wrong, but to her it just sounded like whimpering; though it sort of was because I was upset that something was upsetting her. I knew that my whimpering let her know that she could not hide that she upset from me. It also just let her know that I wanted to know what was wrong.

                “It’s nothing.” She said, burying her head deep into my fur. I had to roll my eyes for I knew that she was lying to me. I had no idea why she wouldn’t tell me or why she wouldn’t let down her walls for just a second for me to comfort. Wait, she has a wall that is what is blocking her for letting me in even though I am just a ‘wolf’. I should know better than most that walls that are put up are hard to take down even for something that isn’t human.

 So instead of pushing her into telling me, I carefully stood up, pulling her to her bed and pushing her back towards the bed. Once I was sure that she was safely tucked in and I climbed up and allowed her to come and curl into my fur. Even though I knew that she was right there curled into me, I wanted to make sure that she knew that I was really for her; so I tilted my head down and nuzzled against her neck. I also just wanted to it because she was mine and it made me calmer. What worried me though was the fact that as soon as I nuzzled against her, she broke down crying.

So it finally made me just give up trying to communicate silently to her so decided to use the link between us that still confused me, considering that most werewolves don’t have a connection between even an unchanged werewolf mate. ‘Please, tell me what’s wrong?’ she paused for a very long time, but I knew that she had heard me for it registered on her face. Though there was a battle going on inside her on whether she should answer or whether she is just going crazy. But, I knew that the only way was to coax her and hope that she’ll finally show a little of herself. ‘Tell me, please.’

                “Everything’s just so hard and I don’t know what to do anymore.” As soon as she spoke those words I felt a pain in my chest and all I wanted to do was wrap her in my arms and make things easier for her. Before I could even say thing about making her life easier, it was like those words were what broke down a couple of the walls holding her together. And I bet that this was the first time she had let anyone in so I was going to take it as a sign that I was getting closer.

                I held her close as she spilled out her story and throughout the whole time my heart ached, especially at the thought that these things happened to her.
