Crimson

The lie's I've lived by

"No, that's impossible people can't transform into those things right?" I say as I pull on the sleeves of my jumper, a habit I do when I'm worried or scared, Conner grabs my hands and looks at me in the eye.

"Those things are called werewolves, and he is one of them" he says matter–of–factly, I look at him in the eyes and see that they weren't changing, meaning that he was telling the truth.

"That can't be real, they can't be real . . . then that means that ghosts and–and other supernatural's are real too!" I say to him as I wave my hands around, he smiles and grabs my cheeks.

"We are real"

"W-What? We?"

"Yeah," he says to me, I look at him blankly for a moment before passing out completely from the stress and confusion.

I heard the sound of muffled voices at first, my eyes are still closed as I felt the intensity of my ankle that made me groan, when I open my eyes it takes me a moment to realize where I am.

"Wait, this is not my house" I say as I look around, giant windows cascade down the sides of the walls as I sit on a bed that was massive, golden flakes fell from the sky blue roof as the sound of those voices got louder, I look around noticing the door was large and dark with golden borders as I sit on the side of the bed I tilt my head a little when I start to hear a little clearer of their voices.

"She's nineteen mate! You can't just take her life away like that"

"She's mine got it? If you've got a problem with that then you should try to be trapped inside of your wolf's body for years on end!" what? Trapped? What the hell does that mean? Was he in jail or something I mean he must be pretty damn wealthy to be living in this place because it straight up looks like Asgard. Maybe he knows Thor or something I joke to myself.

"Look I sent you and your brother to go and look after her, and you have! There's no doubt about you caring for her more then just a friend," he continues talking to the other person, but who the hell is he talking to though? I lean against the door more as the two voices where silent for a moment; they whisper something under their breaths, as I'm unable to hear it.

"She's your mate, therefore she's your significant other! Take care of her!"

"Don't test me Conner!" he snaps at his friend, I gasp a little as the voices stop I widen my eyes and walk backwards as the door opens with two men standing there, Conner and the guy on the couch.

"Uhh, h-hi?" I say as with a nervous smile, Conner was smiling but he had the look of a concerned parent in his eyes while the other guy looked incredibly hot – I mean angry, he looked really, really angry.

"What the hell are you doing?" the couch-man says, Conner goes to step forward when the man growls at him snarling making Conner turn to face him.

"What are you going to do mate? You hurt me in front of her and she'll never forgive you for it" he says to him, the man creates fists by his side as I notice the trickle of blood.

"Get out" he says slowly to him as Conner does what he's told, the man looked furious as he turns to face me, his eyes still normal as they always have been.

"I-I'm so sorry I didn't mean to ears drop on your conversation I swear!" I say as he starts to walk slowly towards me, every step he took towards me I took one back thinking that he is going to kill me or throw me out of the window or something, once I hit the wall I try to make myself as skinny as possible when he comes inches away from my face, I'm breathing heavily as his eyes stay on mine then move to my neck.

"You're . . . unmarked" he says to me, I look at him completely confused as he pushes himself off of the wall and walks to the bed sitting down on the edge of it, I stand there half terrified.

"And you're . . . Beast" I say slowly not knowing how he's going to react.

"My name is James" he growls at me as he stands back up I freeze thinking that he'll throw me across the room or something because that's what Beast usually does all the time with things.

"And you're my mate" he says as he seems unfazed by whatever that means.

"You'll be sleeping here for the night, I don't want you to be on your foot for a while so Conner will drop you back tomorrow," he says to me as he lifts me taking me by surprise as I cling onto him.

"Jesus!" I say making him ghost a smile over his chiseled look, he sits me down on the large bed and look around breathing in a little.

"So, are you gonna sleep here too? Or . . .?" I say as I look at him half hoping that he will, he looks at me for a moment before closing his eyes and turning his head to look out the window.

"No, I'm on patrol . . . Night" he says coldly as he leaves the room, I'm confused since he wasn't the beast that I remember at all.
