Forever Grey

Chapter 8

My parents talked my head off with concern. After showering, Sebastian told me to call them because they wouldn't stop calling all the phones in the pack house. Once they got the news they flipped so much so they insisted on heading back tonight but I convinced them I'd be fine at the pack house until the mess in our house is handled.

After everything happened last night me and Bella couldn't even think about sleep anymore. So we stayed up all day today. Me and the crickets are the only ones probably awake right now. I guess the sleep caught up with Bella because she called it lights out around 8:00pm.

I can see why though. She exerted her energy and shifted just to help me. I'm lucky to have a friend like her. When Kaydon ran off yesterday I was 100% sure he regretted me kissing him. I can't stop thinking about the way his lips felt on mine, after all it was my first kiss. I didn't understand what went wrong when I pulled away.

He was hurting me when he went through that weird eye color change thing but I'm sure it wasn't on purpose. I hate to admit but it scared me too see him like he was with the boy.

Every time I ask Sebastian about what happened he tells me it's something that I have to talk about with Kaydon. Clearing my mind I look over at Bella who is sprawled out on her bed like she doesn't have company.

I'd rather not wake her up so I cover her with the blanket and grab an extra pillow and blanket for me. Turning off the light and leaving her room I make my way downstairs into the huge living room.

The spacious living room was cold and very eerie. There were huge windows everywhere giving me a view of the dark forest. The temperature in here felt almost like winter. One of the cons of being around wolves they don't know what the cold feels like.

When I approached the couch I stopped in my place when I saw the shape of someone. I was A little startled until I took in a deep breath and smelled him instantly calming down. He was shirtless and his arms were propped up on each side of the couch. His eyes were closed and head was resting back as the moon spilled through the large window.

He was beautiful. My eyes shamelessly roamed his sculpted body.

"Why aren't you sleep?" His eyes never opened.

"Bella kinda took over the bed." He stayed silent.

I'm sure he knows I'm still uneasy about what happened when I tried to sleep yesterday night.

I sat on the other end of the couch and wrapped up in my blanket. I stayed still feeling as though any sudden move would irritate him.

"You're scared of me?" His question came out as more of a statement.

"No" was all I managed to say knowing that any further words would contradict my answer.

"I know you're lying I can hear your heart beat." apparently my own body contradicts me.

He remained laid back on the couch in the same position. He was right but not entirely.

"Part of me is scared of you but I know you won't hurt me intentionally like most people have done. You make me feel safe like I don't have to watch my back all the time when I'm around you that's the part of me that isn't afraid." When I looked up from my lap his eyes were on me.

His eyes dropped to my lips meeting my eyes. It seemed like a silent notion to come to him. Sliding half way down the couch he stopped me.

"Don't Sapphire." His eyes darkened like they had yesterday.

It irritates me how he felt I was some fragile glass he was afraid to break.

"Will a kiss put me in danger?" My question came out with a lot of sarcasm and I waited for his disapproval. Instead he laughed.
