You Had Me At "Stop Peeing On My Yard!"

Part 5

When I finally noticed what I was doing, I pushed Tom away from me.

"What's wrong, Raina?" He asks; angry that I broke our kiss. I kept trying to distance myself from him but then my wolf cried out to be near Tom and touch him to reassure myself that he's okay and well. Tom takes ahold of my cream colored hand and rubs circles on my palm,as if to soothe me.

"What if we're not meant to be together?" I ask, not meeting his eyes, knowing if I do, I'll just see hurt.

His hurt.

I didn't want him to hurt, not ever in his life.

His grip on my hand tightened.

"Don't say that. Ever. Again." Tom says through clenched teeth. His gaze was straight at my wall, as if he was trying to stare it down. I shook our combined hands to get his attention, I had to do it a few times to get him to look at me.

"What if Sterling is my true mate?" I asked quickly.

"NO!" Tom says, getting up he picks something up and throws it across the room. A hole had now taken place on my wall, Tom began to trash my room. Knocking down picture frames from my wall, removing the bedding from my bed, tearing apart my curtains.

"Tom! Stop!" I give his chest a shove, he stumbles a little. His eyes flash towards me and they are angry, pure wolf. "Momma!" I called, praying that was home already. I know I was being childish calling for my mother but I needed help with Tom. My mother comes into my bedroom and gasps, looking around at my ruined room.

"What happened here?" she asks breathless.

"Momma, Tom's lost it and I can't control him. His wolf is too strong."

"You're his mate, Raina. Your wolf and his wolf are one. He will listen to you and your wolf."

I squared my shoulders and walked to Tom,grabbing both his hands I looked into his eyes. "Tom, I need you to stop. Reel your wolf back in, you're in control. Just listen to the sound of my voice." Tom's eyes were dark souless orbs but were slowing going back to their original blue.

"Raina?" Tom pulls me into a tight hug and rest my head on his shoulder.

"It's okay, Tom. Relax." I rubbed my hand up and down his back as he shook from his blood lust. We stood like that for a long while, just holding each other. after the shaking stopped, I decided it was time for him to go home and rest.

"I'll drive you home and then you can rest peacefully without any distractions." I said, my voice firm. I pressed my lips together in a hard line as I stepped away from him.

"No! I want to stay here." he whines," With you. Your mom won't mind as long as we don't do anything."

I sighed,"That's not a good idea, I'm taking you home."

"It's him, isn't it?! He's coming over?"

"No, Sterling is at home and staying there." I looked around my room for my keys but came up with nothing. Puffing out a breath, I opened my door and headed down stairs.

"Momma, have you seen my keys?"

Momma looks up from her spot on the couch and lifts her nose from her book,"Tesha has the car, she went to see some boy named Sterling or something like that."

My heart dropped even though I didn't know who my true mate was yet, I still liked Sterling and now I have to fight my sister for him because once Tesha likes someone she will practically own them. Tom comes up behind me and wraps his arms around my waist, rests his head on my shoulder,"Miss Carson, would you mind if I stayed the night? The blood lust really wore me out and I'll feel better if I'm near Raina." He gives her a small smile.

Momma returns the smile,"Of course you can stay but keep the bedroom door open." she winks at Tom. I roll my eyes and head into the kitchen to fix myself some dinner. I made myself a sandwich, silently chewing, I didn't see Tom come into the kitchen too.

"Hey princess, you tired yet?" he asks as he moves a hair from my face.

Finishing my sandwhich, I nodded. Hopping off the stool, I padded softly to my room and began to change as I usually did. I was putting on my nightshirt and froze when I heard a whistle come from the door. Quickly pulling my shirt down, my face flushes.

"Can't you knock?!" I yelled at him.

"Nope." he smirked.

"Let's just go to sleep." we both got into bed and did just and only that.
