Her Dark Obsession

Chapter 8

***Cass's POV***

My whole body starts shaking, violently. Everything in me wants to run and hide.

On rubber legs, I take a few steps towards him. I reach out my hand and touch his muzzle.

"What... Are you?"

I am a lycan. Are you... Are you afraid? He asks me in my mind.

I am terrified. Absolutely terrified. I shouldn't have asked. I should've just left things as they were.

"Y-yes." I answer, drawing my hand away. "I'm.... Sorry." And I haul my ass to the bathroom, locking the door behind me.

Crumbling to the floor, I pull my knees up to my chest, shaking uncontrollably. I can't stop the tears from falling. I can't stop the thoughts rushing through my head.

I shouldn't have shown you... I'm so sorry, my love. I never wanted to scare you.

The words flow through my mind. A sense of fear and sadness along with them. I can't speak. I can't wrap my brain around what's happened. Oh Goddess! What have I done?!

You have done nothing, princess. This is my fault, entirely. I'll leave you to your thoughts. Just know, you'll always be able to find me... When you're ready.

With that, I hear my bedroom door shut softly. I sigh and unlock my bathroom door. He's really gone. My room still smells of him...

And where the fuck is my bitch of a roommate when I actually need her?! Not that I can tell her. She'd call my brothers and have me locked up in a psych ward quicker than a mouse running from a lion.

Ah fuck.

***Drake's POV***

"Ugh! Seriously?! What the fuck was I thinking?! I finally get her and I blew it!"

I'm pacing back and forth in my living room. My two best friends sitting silently on the couch.

Grabbing the nearest thing- which happens to be a lamp- I throw it hard against the wall, shattering it into millions on pieces.

I did this! I made her run away! This is no one's fault but mine.

Brian pipes up for once. "Just give the girl some time. She'll come around."

"Yea. Once she can't stand being away from you." Eric says, smugly.

"No. I don't think she will." I retort. "It's been three months. Three fucking months! She hasn't bothered to try."

I've been waiting for her for a lifetime. And three months ago I fucked it all up. She'll never come back. I've barely been able to eat or sleep or focus on anything.

"I doubt it. I'll die before I get to be with her again."

Suddenly, there was a soft knock on my front door. Eric and Brian exchange looks. "How-?" They start, together.

I stomp over to the door, swing it open, and right in from of me is the one woman I've been craving.

"H-hello, Drake."
