Her Mate

Chapter thirty-six

The next few days things didn't get any better. In fact, they only got worse as I was back in the dog house with Nancy again bringing our period of peace to an erupt end.

"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING AGGRAVATING JAKE AGAIN? DID THE TRIP TO THE FUCKIN HOSPITAL YOU STORMED OUT OF TEACH YOU ANYTHING? HE COULD OF KILLED YOU!" She screamed at the top of her lungs as if I hadn't thought of that.

"When I get my hands on Linnea and Jason, I swear I'm going to-"

"They had nothing to do with it other than protecting me so unless you're planning on hugging and telling them thank you, you'd best just leave them alone!"

"This isn't a joke, Crystal!"

"Do you see me laughing? Though I have to admit, watching you throw a fit in my bathrobe and Bugs Bunny slippers, I'm having a real hard time holding it back at the moment."

She glared at me with her beautiful golden brown eyes that was just visible from her damp mane. Who knew she could get any hotter and all it took was a shower.

Seemingly relenting for now she stormed off to sulk in the direction of my bedroom. Well good! Maybe Dobby could convince her of how ridiculous she's being.

If you guessed that she didn't stop with that, you'd be right. That was Monday night or Tuesday morning depending on your point of view and it's only progressed from there.

I really don't get how someone can claim to despise someone and yet turn right around and start acting just like them. One of life's great mysteries.

You see this a lot with children who start acting like their parents when they're older all the while saying how they really aren't anything alike. That reminds me, I should ask her about her parents. Nevermind That. As I was saying, she's taken a page right out of Ashley's manual by refusing to let me go anywhere without her being right there. It's literally making me want to rip my hair out! For the life of me, I can't understand how JoAnn can stand it.

Speaking of my sweet big sister, I might as well take everything I ever learned about her throughout my life and toss it out the damn window because, I swear, I don't even know who the hell she is anymore!

She's gone from a helpless prisoner to rather open minded about being there.
For some reason unbeknownst to me, she's becoming good friends with Kera. Ashley's mother of all people. Not really a person but I'll use it. She has been helping her "understand" everything and has even gotten Ashley to start talking to her again. Kara has even been teaching her what it means to be a Luna which has all but sealed any chance I have of talking some sense into her. JoAnn has always wanted to be important and looked up to and Kara is all but handing it to her on a silver platter. Why the hell did I ever tell her about werewolves to begin with? Jake must of hit me on the head at some point- well him or his damn wife! The Moon Goddess knows she has never been bashful about trying to tell me how to run my life. Now Kara is filling her head up that she has, not only a right, but also a duty to stick her nose into other peoples business. Ohh where did things get so messed up...

I leaned my head against the brick wall of The Wolfs Den taking in the cool breeze that caressed my body when I felt a warmth in my core form souring my moment. Well shit! That didn't take her long.

I closed my eyes enjoying the contrast of it and the breeze even if I was a bit disappointed I wasn't going to get to finish my smoke.

"Well I almost had time to finish my smoke before she realized I slipped out. Care to stall her?"

I asked Blake in a pleading tone, while giving him my best puppy dog eyes. It's a go-to for times like these but even it proved ineffective against him.
