Destiny

Whatever you say

"You have a leaf in your hair." This was of course, the first thing that came out of my mouth. Not a 'what?' or a 'Who the heck are you?'. He looked taken aback by what I said and stared at me for a few moments like I grew a second head. He shook his somewhat wavy hair and the leaf drifted down to the ground with my eyes following like a hawk trying to forget the predicament I'm currently in. For some reason my brain hadn't fully processed what was happening. I reach his eyes once again to see his boring back into mine almost as if he's looking for something. Or maybe he thinks I will run from him. I mean, if so he's not wrong. After standing there for five minutes with neither of us speaking I spoke up "could you give me some space please?" as I gesture with my eyes down to his frame holding me against a very rough tree. "Do I make you nervous?" he leaned in closer than I thought was possible with a giant smirk on his godly face. "No." lie. In fact, I'm pretty sure my heart is going to explode from how fast its beating and I'm sure I'm sweating by now.

He looked me up and down fully taking in my, probably shaking, cold figure. It was almost 40 degrees outside, which is cold even for a werewolf. "Lets go" he finally takes a few steps back and reaches his hand out for me to take. After his hand being in the air for a solid 30 seconds without me taking it, he sets it back at his side. With one last look at my still unnamed so called 'mate', I turn away and start walking back to the house. Trying to speed walk ahead and put some distance between us I feel a hand grip my arm pulling me back. "What?" I snapped now only ten feet from the back door. How hard is it to just give a girl her space? "Don't run from me" he muttered the words so low I could barely hear it. But the way he said it made no room for arguing. I let him take my hand in his as we walked back to the house. I feel like a toddler that needs help to walk across the street. Which isn't pleasant.

Once we reach the screen door I let go of his hand and slide it open to find the living room the same way we left it. A complete mess that I will get yelled at for later. Grateful for the heat inside the house I begin to pick up the couch and move it back where it belonged, along with everything else that wasn't completely broken. I don't understand why everyone has to have a mate, cant I just be a single independent woman whose happy the way she is? Nope, not if your a she-wolf. Your whole life changes once you find your mate. Its normal for the female to move in with her mates pack and leave her old life behind. But you don't ever hear about a guy having to do that for his mate. It is so unbelievably sexist. That's the werewolf world for you though. She- wolfs are seen as gentle and fragile while male-wolfs are strong and 'true warriors'. Although I know many She-wolfs , including myself, who can take down more male wolfs than they can themselves. If my mate thinks I'm leaving my pack for his then he's in for a rude awakening.

Once I've finished up with the living room I dart up the stairs without a second thought. Once I reach my bedroom door I see my brother standing next to my bed starring down at Clio's peaceful form. She wont be peaceful when she wakes up, she'll be heartbroken. I will be there for her through all of it, and I will make sure my brother is no where near her again, starting right now. I begin to make myself known to my so called brother by walking into my room with my arms crossed. It is the only way I can make sure that I don't swing at him again. He turned his head back to look at me with unshed tears in his eyes. I feel pinch of guilt for a second but then come back to reality and realize that he's the one that did this, its his fault and he should feel guilty. Looking straight into his eyes I whisper quietly yet fierce full "Get away from her" as he makes no attempt of leaving I say it louder, but not loud enough to wake up Clio. Getting in his face I clench my teeth "Get. Out." He stares for a second and lets a tear slip down his devastated looking face but he doesn't argue. He trudges out of my room and back to his as I hear the door slam shut.

Releasing a huge sigh I sit down on my bean bag chair. What am I supposed to do? I can protect Clio from bullies easily but I cant protect her from this. I would do anything to switch places with her. I would kill for this girl, but I don't think killing anyone is going to help her with this. I stare longingly at her before running my clammy hands through my now knotted hair. I hear quiet footsteps make their way up the stairs, and I look to see my mate with a glass of water and a pill in his hand. He walks in my room quietly and sets them down on the bed side table before turning to me "I figured shed want them when she wakes up" He spoke with such grace it nearly made me cry. But then again anything will make me cry at this point.

That's all I want to do, cry my eyes out in hopes that it fixes everything. But I know it wont so there's no real point in it. Its definitely not going to make Clio feel better. I send him a small smile of gratitude "Thank you" I didn't feel like talking at the moment. Thankfully he didn't say anything to me but just sat down on the floor next to me for awhile. It was deathly quiet but not uncomfortable either. It was nice to hear no one shouting in the house for once. There will definitely be a lot of that tomorrow morning so I've got to admire it while it lasts.

I lean my head back on the bean bag chair in a very uncomfortable way and beginning to fall asleep. I never noticed how tired I was until all the adrenalin left my body. Now I feel exhausted, not caring where I fall asleep at. I felt someone pick me up and heard a little shuffling and before I was met with my carpeted floors and a soft pillow. I was too tried to open my eyes to see who had moved me but I had a pretty good idea of who it was. I shiver slightly as the cool air brushes against the small amount of my skin that was exposed. It was always colder upstairs for some reason which never made sense to me, as heat rises not lowers. A soft blanket was gently wrapped around my sleepy body as I felt a slow yet loving kiss to my forehead followed by the sound of soft footsteps leaving the room. I drifted off into sleep with hopes that tomorrow wouldn't be as bad as I thought it would.
