Chapter 8

The next few days that followed ended up in a routine. Jake and Sam would be up early in the morning to guard me, and Shayne would leave for the day. He would come during lunch to check on me and also because he wanted me to make him something to eat. All of the boys in the pack house were usually there during lunch time. I guess they were a fan of my food.

After eating, Shayne would leave again. I didn't make it easy whenever he left. My wolf wanted to be close to him and it didn't help that she always made me feel detached.

Shayne hadn't made a move to claim me yet. I wanted to think that he was just giving me space but I always wondered if it was something more. What if he didn't want me? What if he was just looking for the right moment to turn me down? Or worse, what if he found out about what I did?

"Jake, give it back!" I said through gritted teeth.

I was getting more and more irritated by the minute. My wolf hadn't been out for weeks and she was becoming unsettled. Jake wasn't helping with all the teasing and taunting he was doing. He was more relaxed because he was with me, but he wasn't letting his guard down.

"Say the magic word." Jake said holding up the remote control.

We had been watching TV ever since Shayne had woken me up early morning. His excuse for waking me up early was that he simply wanted to say goodbye. Then, he proceeded with talking about how hungry he was. I had lazily gotten out of bed and cooked for the boys in the house. Shayne had waited patiently for me to finish my food before leaving. I knew this was the main point of waking me up.

For the last couple of days I hadn't eaten well and it bothered Shayne. It's not that I was doing on purpose but I was really stressed out. Sam always had to mention to me that I soon had to tell Shayne about Jake. We had gotten along fairly well lately that I didn't want to ruin that. I wanted Shayne to trust me and I wanted to be able to trust him.

"Jake is the most awesomest wolf ever." I grunted.

Jake beamed at me and handed me the remote control. I snatched the remote from his hands and threw the pillow at his face. Jake chuckled and plopped down on the couch. Sam had been watching the whole time and was trying to hold in his laugh.

"What are you, five? Awesomest isn't even a word." I said.

"It is in my world." Jake smiled while eating a bag of chips.

I plopped on the couch next to Jake and crossed my arms angrily. I was mad that Jake was using his strength against me. Of course I was going to be weaker than him since he's a male. Sam just sat there looking at us while Jake tortured me.

"Too bad there's only a population of one." I snorted.

I switched through the channels on TV and finally settled for some cartoons. Jake and Sam both started complaining about my choice of entertainment. I tried to ignore them as I got caught up in a fine episode of SpongeBob. It's not my fault I was robbed of this kind of entertainment that I wanted to take advantage of every opportunity I got.

"I have to go," Sam suddenly straightened up and looked alarmed.

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"Shayne wants to see me." Sam said. "You'll be okay with Jake here, right?"

"Yeah, don't worry about me. Go do what you have to do." I said. "Besides, it's Jake you should be worried about, not me."

Sam still looked unsure about leaving me alone but he finally left. Sam had insisted he couldn't leave Jake and me alone because he thought Jake might try something on me. Jake and I were more of siblings and our relationship was never anything more. I tried to explain it to Sam a billion times but he still seemed unsure.
