Crimson

Return of Couch man

"Conner, grab your med kit!" I shout at him as he growls running up the stairs, Ronny following me as I put a hand on his stomach, his blue eyes look at me and I feel the fluttering flies in my stomach once more.

"What the hell happened to you James?" I ask him, he smiles and laughs a little.

"I got into a fight with someone from the other side of town"

"Who?" I persist as he growls from the pain, Conner runs back down the stairs slightly nudging Ronny to move out of the way and for him to get James a blanket.

"Who?" I bug as Conner begins to start stitching him up.

"A bunch of vampires, you should have seen them though they scattered once I tore one into bits" he says with a smile as he groans from the pain I see his fangs come out of his mouth, they're large and deadly.

"What? Who where they? Did you know them?"

"No why would I want to know them?"

"I don't know maybe because murder isn't the best solution!" I say as he squeezes my hand and I fix myself next to him, he opens his eyes again and I feel lost in them, like I'm a sailor staring into the mist of the sea as it sprays me and my crew, I look down not being able to keep looking into his eyes unless I'd like to be lost at sea for eternity.

"How bad is it?" I ask Conner as he continues to stitch up the slash on his shoulder, it reminded me of them when I first met James, his limp body on the porch then Conner and I pulled him into the house where he literally did surgery on him.

"Not that bad considering his body has already healed itself a lot but he'll be sore for the next few hours"

"Great" I say sarcastically rolling my eyes and dropping my head a little, I see the ending of a smile sketched into James' face and it make me grimace a little, though he is my mate I just don't feel as connected to him as I do with Conner, though I usually just brush it off to the fact that I've known Conner my whole life and I've only known James for like a month.

"What were vamps doing over here?" Conner growls at him, James squeezes my hand tighter as I look over at him moving his hair out of his face.

"They weren't over here, I was over there," he says to us.

"What? Why?" I ask him.

"I heard about you being friends with one of them, I wanted to see who he was"

"Oh god please tell me you didn't kill him," I say as I see him smile and open his eyes.

"No I didn't, would love to though but no I didn't do that" he says to me growling as his eyes change to blue as he roars scaring both Ronny and I, Conner is done and jumps up getting rid of all of the blood that soaks into his clothes and stains his hands, I walk into the kitchen right when Conner is drying his hands on the tea towel I sigh as he turns to face me.

"We've got to leave him here"

"What? Why?"

"Vampire's attacking a king and injuring him like this? For a wolf it's bad for your own kind to see that but for a king? James needs to stay here, to save his own ego"

"So his ego's more important then my safety?"

"No, he's your mate he can't hurt you without hurting himself okay? Just look after him?" he says to me as I cross my arms over my chest and frown looking away from Conner.

"Fine then, but you owe me" I say to him as he smiles and kisses my forehead, he and Ronny both head off leaving James and I here.

"Do you want like a shirt or something?"

"Or something" he replies making me try to prevent a smile on my face, I sigh and sit on the coffee table as he opens his eyes and look at me.

"What is it?"

"I'm just . . . Tell me about you kind James, I wanna know about you guys" I ask actually interested in them, he smiles and coughs as he corrects himself.

"Well, as you can probably tell I'm not a full werewolf"

"Yeah why is that? I mean like how did that work?"

"Well after my mum and dad had some one on one, and had me on the blood moon, there's this legend that's if you have a pup on the blood moon then they turn into the beast that movies and TV shows turn out to be" he says to me, I sit there a little confused but drawn in by his muscles I close my eyes and shake my head.

"I know what you really want to do with me, I can smell it," he says to me as I open my eyes and stand up, his eyes follow mine and I look away running a hand through my hair.

"I don't you just want me to" I say to him crossing my arms over my chest.

"Whatever helps you get to sleep at night," he says to me with a smile on his face.

"Actually Conner helps me sleep at night" I spit at him with a smile etched into my face, he opens his eyes a loud growl erupts from him as he tries to get up but falls back down on the couch.

"Do not say that," he says to me as he frowns like a little kid making me smile wider and take in a deep breath.
