the after math

chapter 5

When I passed the city limit sign of Homer , it said population 900 people . But now 901 people. A mile into driving I started to see the icy ocean wrapping itself around the landscape Farther a head I could see driveways twisting up into the forest. The town was not what I expected, the houses wrapped all the way around the left side of the town where the blue icy ocean crashed into the shore and the mountain tops stood in the background . The scenery was breathtaking, making me realize that I can have a fresh start where no one would know my name, wouldn't know my past and look at me with pity.
There was a Cafe sitting on the edge of town .I haven't eat a actual meal in weeks. I've been living off junk food here and there on the road. So I decided needed a more of nutritional Meal instead of chips , french fries, burgers, and tacos .
I pulled into the parking lot of a cafe and walked through the door. There was a island
With a cash register sitting on top of it . With a lady that look like she was in her 60's with brownish-blonde hair with a little gray through out it. Clear blue -green eyes and a name tag that said Sarah . I walked over and pulled out a stool from the island , dropped my duffle bag on the ground and set down. I started to feel eyes on my back. And I don't know why I didn't notice it before. But the scent of werewolves lingered in the cafe. I looked over my left shoulder and surprise surprise there was a table with three wolves in the back right corner.

I can tell by the way there nose was flaring that they smelled me. They probably already new I was hear the moment I stepped out of the truck. The scary part was that I recognized one of the wolves as Declan James Hyde. His dark wild black hair fell down to his shoulders . He was part Native American and has chocolate brown eyes with a scar above his eyebrow. He had that look that could make any woman swoon but also had that look that could put the fear of God into anyone. He made Charlie look like a
freaking teddy bear

I decided I should just get it over
with now . I got up from my seat and started walking over there. But the closer I got to him the more terrifying and incredibly handsome he got which triggered something, and had memories fluttering in the back of my mind. I pushed them away and focused on the problem at hand. I pushed my feet to work and got to there table I found myself standing right in front of him. He didn't even look at me, If I was you I would go back out the way you came .
Well I guess it's good you're not me. I took that opportunity to sit down,
Declan looked up at me and if looks could kill I would be dead.
You know there's not that many people that would come over here and sit down like you just did girl especially when I could easily snap your pretty little neck . now leave.

I could hear the authority in his voice it wasn't a question. I didn't move though , I didn't know if that made me brave or just plain stupid but Declan set-up and put his hands behind him on the booth . Do you not know who I am darlin

If it was 2 months ago I would probably been quivering with need at the sound of his voice.

But now all it did is make me want to throw up. I know who you are .

Hmm , than answer me a question... why in the hell are you still sitting there?

because, Mr. Declan Hyde I  thought it would be best if I introduced myself
In person. Hi , I'm Mercedes Athena Cornick Thompson. I stuck out my hand for him to shake but he just looked at it
The Marrok beloved daughter yes that would be me.

His laughter was thick and husky but bitter sweet like dark chocolate .well lookie here men we have the werewolve King's daughter.
All right, can we just get to the point . his face lost all the fake humor and went completely blank .
What do you want Mercedes?
He said my name with bitterness
I want to stay.
that's what I want
