Ella's POV

To say I was crapping myself would be a understatement. I had to be home at 3 to get started on my chores that were going to take even longer now that I go to school, and I didn’t even want to think what Thomas would do if I was late. As we stepped outside the doors I looked around for the other pack members but fortunately they had obviously left without me. Surprise, Surprise. I checked my watch and saw it was 2:40. Crap! This bike better be fast. "You okay?" I heard him ask as I rose to see him confused at my panicked face. I quickly nodded and smiled as he looked disbelieving but passed me a helmet anyway. I put it on as I looked at the bike and a sudden thought came to me.

What the hell do I do?

He looked at me and let out a chuckle. "I’m guessing you have never been on one before?" I shook my head embarrassed and blushed even though it wasn’t visible through the helmet. He gave me a smile and told me to sit behind him and wrap my arms around his waist. And as soon as I did, I heard my wolf howl. It almost made me jump at the sound. For once this howl wasn’t in anger or pain, it was in.....joy? Although I could understand my wolf as a grin appeared on my face that hadn’t been there in a while. His touch was enough to make me feel tingles everywhere and I felt my heart beat faster and my cheeks redden more. But it was his sigh in pleasure that made me lean my head on my back but cautiously, still getting ready for him to tell me to get lost and never come near him again. Yet all it made him do was shift a little closer to me before he started the bike and raced off.

It felt like seconds before we arrived at the mansion and I didn’t want to move. The whole ride here was comfortable silence and his touch was still driving me mad as he stopped the engine. Reluctantly I let go of the god and got off trying to not aggravate my bruises that were luckily covered up by my usual clothes. I took of the helmet and reluctantly checked that all my hair was covered up as he took of his helmet and took mine out of my hands gently. "Thank you...." I started then realized I didn’t even know his name so looked down in embarrassment. He smiled and answered. "It's Nate" He spoke so softly I felt my heart melt and my blush return making him smile wide. I stood there trying to think of things to say as my watch showed that I had a few minutes left.

"So, nice home" He commented making my face drop a little as I turned to look at it. Home isn’t exactly what I would call it. I shrugged making me want to wince at the pain it caused and looked back at Nate. His face was so gentle and his eyes held a sparkle that made me look into them with a smile. My eyes drifted to the road behind and from a distance I saw the packs car driving. I guess they took the long route like usual. My eyes saddened and I looked back at Nate who was still smiling. "I've got to go. Thank you so much for the ride" I said with a stronger voice but I heard the shake of fear in it. Nate frowned a little as I started to walk back slowly but getting faster.

As soon as Nate said goodbye I felt my heart crush and my wolf dropped her head in pain. Hurriedly I started to run up the driveway and into the house where I ran into a hard figure that grabbed my upper arms in a strong grip making me want to groan. I looked up and saw Thomas’s eyes which looked darker then usual, knowing that he had seen Nate. "Who was that boy?" His nails dug into my skin as I just bowed my head and kept in silence. I wouldnt dare tell Thomas about Nate."Just someone from school. I didnt want to be late and he offered a ride." My voice was small but by the stinging on my right cheek I guess he had better hearig then I hoped. "Dont you DARE GO BLAMING ME FOR YOU BEING A TRAMP" He shouted making me nod without hesitation. "Now, WHO WAS THAT BOY?" He shouted again squeezing tighter on my arms. For once I didnt answer. I was not going to put Nate in danger and I dont care what he did to me. My wolf however had no control when he looked me in the eyes..... at least that is what I thought.
