My aunt wasn’t in as usual but the thought of just leaving her made me feel guilty. I knew she had never liked me and to be honest I never liked her much either but she was the only thing I had left of my family.

“I’ll wait here,” Cole happily said giving me a glowing smile at least he was happy.

I looked at him for a moment and smiled back as I hopped out the car and rushed towards my front door.

I went upstairs to my room and found the nearest suitcase, I couldn’t pack all my stuff or my Aunt would get suspicious so I packed the things that mattered.

For someone who doesn’t want to move in with him, you seem excited. I heard my wolf said and I growled at her to shut up. It was her fault that I had said yes.

Don’t  hate on me, you see soon enough what I did was for both of us and for the better, I growled at her again and told her to shut up but somewhere inside me I couldn’t budge the feeling that she knew something I didn’t.

I paused as I was about to zip my suitcase up and say goodbye to this house forever. I looked at my bedside table and looked at a photo with me and my family. A tear leaked through my eyes at the memory.

Why couldn’t things just stay the way they were? I asked myself. Gently I picked up the photo like it would break if I handled it the wrong way.

I let my finger brush over my brother’s and sister’s faces. They shouldn’t of died it was just so wrong. They were so young.

I blinked back a tear and placed the photo in my suitcase and zipped it up as I took a hasty breathe. 

I wheeled it out of the house to find Cole standing by the boot of the car fiddling around with his keys.

I stopped in my tracks as I watched him with a distant look on my face. I didn’t know how long I hadn’t realised but as I watched him something clicked.

He was the one I wanted to stay with.  No matter how much I fought it, it was no use. I didn’t even think I wanted to fight it anymore.

He snapped his head up to look at me with a cheeky grin on his face.  I rolled my eyes at him which made him smile even more and rushed up to my side and took my suitcase.

“Thank you,” I told him giving him a little curtsy. He chuckled.

“Anytime, my lady,” He teased picking up my hand sending tingles down my body and placed his soft lips upon my knuckles.

I blushed and he chuckled again while I got into his car. He slammed the boot of the car shut and slid into the driver’s seat.

He paused studding me and I looked at him with wonder. “You ready?” He asked and I gazing longingly out the window. Maybe I was going to miss this place? But I could feel myself grinning.

“Yes,” I said and he roared his car to life.

We got to his house. (Well I guess our house) and Cole got out quickly getting my suitcase out for me and unlocked the door as I following behind.

But when I entered the house, I felt something weird building up inside of me. I felt safe and .. I stopped. I felt at home.

My wolf howled in joy as if she thought that I had just figured it out.

I stood staring around the house; I had never thought I would find a place after my family died that I could truly call home. My eyes welled up a little at the thought of my family but for once they weren’t sad tears they were tears of joy.
