When Darkness Calls

Aspen

The pain lessoned as we neared my home.

I was able to push back my wolf, she had begun to panic as I had.

Aspen was all that was on my mind, not the fact that I was in Damon's lap in the passenger seat, weak from pain.

Damon was angry, more then usual for reasons unknown to me.

Though to a certain extent I was glad he was angry. But I had a feeling he was in a murderous mood heading towards my pack.

Towards my Aspen.

"Blake"? he said sort of quietly in my ear. "Are you feeling alright?"

"No." I croaked. "Why would I be, you are touching me after all."

Because I can't let anything go with him. I groaned inwardly at myself.

Its like he murdered my conscience and ripped out the censor button for me.

He let out a low dry chuckle that vibrated my back that was against his chest.

"Why? Men touching you isn't a realatively new thing for you." He snapped.

What is he talking about?

"No, just you in general." I retaliated."besides, What are you talking about?" I groaned as my entire being ached, though much less then before.

"You had a pup! How old is it? Who dared touch you that wasn't your mate!"

He demanded, spinning me around in his lap so I could face him.

Oh. Oh. He thinks I've given birth to Aspen. That Id mated with someone that wasn't him.

Good. Then maybe he wouldn't want me, take me back and dump me on my doorstep. My burnt doorstep.

I stayed quiet as he watched me, his eyes growing darker with anger.

"How old is she"? He demanded.

I though it was sort of a dumb question until I thought about it.

He wanted to know how impatient I'd been.

"She's four." I informed quietly.

"fou- she's fucking four"? He lashed out and punched the dashboard in front of me, cracking it. "you were what," he thought for a moment. "13"! He screamed appalled.

I almost broke out in laughter, that wasn't very well thought out on my part, I should've said she was like, one, that really would've pissed him off like I couldn't have waited a few more months for my mate.

I'd never really searched for ways to piss someone off before, or ever wanted to, let alone found it a tiny bit amusing.

"what"? He shouted, squeezing my shoulders, "what in hell is funny about that"!! His breathing suddenly got heavier and I could feel his wolf surfacing.

I couldn't help it. I actually laughed. "God your an idiot." I shook my head.

He seemed utterly confused. "What, so you don't have a pup"?

"I didn't say that." I said calmly.

"Dammit Blake"! He shouted. "your pissin me off, you do not want to piss me off." he said in a low voice, there was no longer any green in his eyes, instead they were black, they were his wolfs.

"I can see that.." I muttered, losing my smile as he gained one.

"We're here".

He was so confusing.
