Chapter Five

"Are we going to act like you didn't just kill four hunters?" We had only been walking for less than four minutes when Aurelius opened his dumb mouth. It was like he didn't understand that we needed to be quiet. Talking is noise; noise means people would hear us. And, people hearing us meant more deaths which was not a good thing. His mortal male brain couldn't wrap around that for some reason. To add to that he didn't even have the decency to at least whisper. His deep voice was at a high volume as if he wanted the whole forest to hear him. You would think he was talking to the trees and not me.

I ignored him and continued walking. My watch let me know there was only two hours left before sunrise. I would continue to walk for those two hours and then once day broke I would find somewhere safe for me to rest. For us to rest. I grimaced at the thought. I couldn't believe this man was now with me. I was supposed to be doing this alone with the only burden on my shoulders being myself and the fear of Psi's. Now I had another person's life added to that and I was incredibly annoyed.

If I was completely heartless I would have left him here in the woods to fend for himself and figure his own way out. If I had done that I would be able to stop worrying about him and his safety. But, since I wasn't heartless I had to make him continue on this quest with me. If I wasn't worrying about Aurelius with him standing by me then I would be worried about what was happening to him if I had just left him. None of the scenarios were good and it was all his fault.

"You did it so viciously too. Had me thinking you were a werewolf for a second." Aurelius continued, laughing nervously after his statement and I turned towards him. Even though I wanted to punch him in his face I couldn't ignore the heat that began to develop in me at the sight of him. He was so handsome it was almost unbelievable. If he was one of my kind I wouldn't hesitate to get him in my bed. But he wasn't my kind, he was human, and I didn't fuck humans. Aurelius was wearing the same clothes he had on in school. Black sweat shorts with a simple white T-shirt. His long feet were adorned in some expensive athletic looking footwear that went along with his color coordinated outfit. He looked comfortable yet styish. I hated it.

"I'm not." I responded after taking my time to look him over. His eyes narrowed at me curiously but I turned my head forward once again. I didn't care about what he had to say. I didn't even want him here.

"Then, how were you able to do all of that? I've never seen a regular human fight like that. You ripped them apart." He countered and I fought the urge to growl at him. He was so annoying and I barely spent an hour with him. He was almost worse than Dominic.

"You're not the only one training to be a hunter. Ok?" I grumbled, allowing the aggravation to drip from my voice.

"If you're training to be a hunter why did you kill four of them?" I let out a frustrated noise and stopped walking. Aurelius stopped his movement also and waited for me to say something. Closing my eyes I calmed myself down before speaking to him. I couldn't be doing irrational things in front of the human. His death was avoidable; if I allowed him to find out I was a werewolf he would have to die. I didn't want to kill him. He was annoying, and he was one of them, but he didn't need to die. He was no real threat to me. He was just dumb.

                "I've decided to switch sides. What we're doing to the wolf people is just disgusting. They've done nothing to us but yet we're trying to wipe out their existence. It's wrong and I want to stop it." Aurelius looked down at me with interest. He was calculating my words, trying to figure out if I was lying or not. My words were part lie and part truth, but mostly truth. Hopefully he would believe me and stop with the questions.
