Monstrous (Sequel to Beastly)

Thirty Four

"Ah. Home sweet home." Andy laughed as he walked in the front door. He let out a yawn as he stretched out his back, dropping our bags down beside him.

"Jesus what time is it?" I yawned.

"Almost midnight."

"Damn. I'm beat— but also hungry?" I said with a light laugh. Andy told me to head into the kitchen while he brought our bags upstairs. I nodded my head and headed down the hall, but quickly called up the stairs, "It's time for you to shift."

"God damn." Andy groaned.

I couldn't help but laugh. I rounded the corner into the kitchen and saw all of the boys sitting around the table. However, all of them were fully shifted, which is something I rarely saw.

They all looked up at me. "Oh hey."

"Sup." I nodded.

"How was your weekend?" Ashley asked, getting out of his seat and hopping up on the counter. It was still so odd to me that Ashley and I got along.

"It was good. Amy and Chris are doing well. Saw Andy's old friends." I replied, grabbing a granola bar from the pantry. I slid myself in the open seat, thanking Ashley. "One of his friends walked in on us and we had a sit down talk."

"Really? You'd think by that age you'd know what sex is." Jake commented, earning laughs from all of them. I rolled my eyes and shot him a glare as I said, "Not that nimrod."

"Feeding?" CC asked.

I nodded. "Took it fairly well so that's good."

"What about you guys? Were you all out hunting just now?" I asked, taking a bite of my bar. They all nodded their heads.

"Went to the woods." Jinxx added.

"I got bit by a raccoon." Jake grumbled.

"So you're saying you tried biting a raccoon and the raccoon bit you? So— basically, you lost a fight with a raccoon?" I asked, trying to hold in my laughs. The boys all snickered as they eyed Jake, and his eyes narrowed.

"No— well I mean— you better watch it or you'll be next!" Jake snapped at me, pointing a finger. I raised my hands in defeat as I let out another laugh. "Hey at least I'm not the one who lost a fight with a trash panda."

"I— god damnnit, I'll bite you!" He teased.

"Bite her and you're dead." A low voice echoed behind me. Two cold arms trailed around me, and all the boys looked up behind me. I hummed softly, but was taken off guard as I heard them all gasp. Furrowing my brows, I turned around slowly only to gasp as well.

"Andrew!" I squealed, shooting up from the chair. I flung my arms around him and felt his arms lock around my waist.

"Hi darling." Andrew murmured. I pulled away from him and looked into his dark eyes. I was smiling ear to ear now.

"Surprised to see someone so excited to see Andrew. That's a new one." Ashley said, arching a brow at us. We both glanced at him and Andrew cocked up a brow. "Why? Because the only person who gets excited to see you is behind the mirror you look at every day?"

"Damn, that's cold." CC whispered.

"Andrew." I said sternly.

He looked at me. "I'm sorry."

"Not to me." Andrew narrowed his eyes and let out a groan. Looking over at Ashley, he muttered an apology, the tone in his voice being very dull and boring.

"So good to see you again." Ashley muttered.

"Actually, I don't think anyone's actually seen you out and about since— well, probably since that night CC saw you." Jake said, glancing over at CC. The boys all nodded their heads in agreement.
