Iris Point of View
My head hurt a lot and my leg stung. When I opened my eyes I saw the blood dripping down it and tears welled up, and spilled onto my cheeks. I screwed my eyes closed again and took a few deep breaths to calm myself. I had dealt with worse, I could deal with this. Its just a cut. I tried to calm myself and get up my courage to open my eyes and deal with the cut. I hated blood, the sight of it, the smell of it. It made me woozy. Taking another deep breath I opened my eyes to find myself on the dining room table in the kitchen, blood still dripping down my leg. Luke was holding my hand and Amber rushed into the room.
"Does it hurt baby?" Luke whispered to me and though it hurt like hell, I wasnt going to tell him that. I shook my head and plastered on a fake smile to reassure him that I was fine when I certainly wasnt. Seeming to sniff out my lie he shook his head.
"Iris, you have to tell me if it hurts so I know how bad it is." Luke said and I sighed
"It feels as if a hot sword had been drawn down my leg, happy?" I snapped at him and he frowned.
"Your in pain, why would I be happy?" I huffed and ignored him. Amber washed out my cut and when I saw that it wasn't that deep I smiled and pulled away, I could wrap it myself. Amber grabbed onto my ankle and refused to let me move my leg eliciting a growl from Luke.
"If she moves it I will never get the splinters out and then it may get infected." Amber said. Luke reached over and put one hand on my upper thigh and the other on my ankle to keep me from moving my leg so Amber could pull out the splinters. Just the sight of his hand on my inner thigh made my wolf do a flip. Luke chuckled and I flushed.
'You really need to stop doing that.' I threw the words into his mind and he sighed.
'Then you need to start telling me things.' He thought
'Stay out of my brain.' I pouted and he laughed again
'How am I supposed to when your practically screaming how much you want me?' The words ran through my head and my cheeks flamed and if he hadn't been holding me down I would have gotten up and left. Amber was almost done, and when she finished I once again attempted to pull away but Luke held me down.
"Let me wrap it first." Amber whispered, seeming to get annoyed. When she finished Luke scooped me into his arms from the table and started hauling me up to his room. This annoyed me as well as sent sparks along my skin. When we got up to the room he walked to the bed and lie down with me cradled against his chest.
"What are you doing?" I asked him
"Going back to sleep." Luke yawned and snuggled his face into my hair, causing me to squirm.
"But its time to wake up." I argued
"Alphas don't have to adhere to the rules of when to wake up." Luke said
"Im getting up, you can stay here though and sleep." I said, wiggling away from him, he tightened his arms around my waist and refused to let me get up.
"You know your a real bully." I whined and he laughed
"Then punish me." He whispered and kissed my neck, I shuddered and pulled away.
"I need to get up." I told him and he sighed, letting me up for he would never refuse me something I said I needed. I smiled and grabbed the bag of clothes and such that Melina had let me borrow earlier, which reminded me I needed to get a job to buy some more. I jumped into the shower and washed myself clean. When I stepped out I toweled off and went through the bag Melina gave me. Goodness, did she think that I was going on a three month vacation? There were millions of tops and bottoms and underwear and dresses packed in here. No wonder she needed such a large bag to fit it all in. I leafed through it and found a green dress that matched my eyes perfectly and slipped it on. I looked in the mirror and smiled at myself. I no longer looked like that beaten and abused girl who only wore rags. I had a glow to my skin and my eyes seemed brighter, and it had only been two days. Two days. That thought hit me like a ton of bricks. Two days ago I was not a murderer, I was beaten, abused, starved, and unloved. And now in such a short time later I looked so much better. My black hair had been cut and styled to frame my small face and my pale skin started to get some color back in it, my full lips were no longer chapped and my eyes blazed with happiness. The dress was perfect, it was the same color as my eyes, it was cut low around my neck with white vines sewn into it. It hugged my waist before puffing out and coming to and end just above my knee. It gave the appearance of curves and I loved the design. I must thank Melina, I reminded myself, this dress was perfect. Though it seemed a little too dressy for what I planned on doing today I kept it on. I brushed through my hair and put on the stick labeled eyeliner that Melina showed me yesterday. I slipped on a pair of flat white sandals and put the rest back in my bag before securing my broken arrow necklace that Melina had given me the day before and exiting the bathroom. I walked in to Luke's room to see him standing in front of me with no shirt on checking his phone. He was wearing black jeans and a silver wallet chain. I couldn't help but stare at him, his chest was perfectly chiseled and his arms screamed of delicious muscle. His black hair was flopped over his eyes and I bit my lip cause him standing in front of me looking so damn delectable wasn't going to help me in the too much electricity flowing through my body case. I just wasn't ready for him though all I wanted to do was jump him. My wolf purred in agreement, she wanted him. Now. He looked up and when his blue eyes connected with mine I looked away. Luke got up and walked over to me.
"Baby whats wrong? Im sorry you fell off of me earlier and you have my word you wont do that again, but that doesnt mean that so should be embarrassed of being with me, or wanting to be with me. Its natural to want me. Iris, sweetheart, look at me," He asked and his tone was so sweet that I obliged. He looked so sincere and innocently hurt that it almost broke my heart. "Sweetie I will never hurt you. Being with me is right, I feel the electricity too." He said, stroking my arm. When he said he felt it as well I relaxed, maybe it was a mate thing? The sparks made me shiver and he smiled at me.
"I'm sorry, its just all of this is so overwhelming. Ive never been with a guy before and I honestly have no idea how." I stated truthfully. Luke's eyes stared into mine for a second before he bent down and kissed me, making my legs turn to jelly and my heart start to race.
"I'm glad I'm your first boyfriend," Luke said breathlessly when we broke apart, "If I found out that another man touched you like this I might have to kill him." He winked at me and then chuckled, "Who am I kidding? Id totally have to kill him." I laughed with him, liking the way it made my body feel, laughing with my mate. I grabbed his hand before towing him to the door. He picked a clean black tee up off of his dresser before throwing it on and allowing me to yank him out the door. The sight of him covering his body was almost painful to watch.
"Where are we going?" Luke asked me aloud. I smiled up at him.
"I need to talk to the girls."
