The Inmates Mate

Chapter Eleven

Ebony

   What the fuck did he just say to me? My mind went blank after his statement as I was filled with complete confusion and nervousness. I pulled away from Raul like he had just burned me and shifted away from him as I began to become scared of him.

My first thoughts went to, no that it is literally impossible for werewolves to exist. So that must mean he is insane and believes and acts like a werewolf. Which is comparable to the fact I met him at a state institution; I still have yet to know what he did to end up in prison.

My second thoughts consisted of, well what if he was telling the truth and he was a werewolf. Where would that put me in this situation and in his life?

"What the fuck Raul?" I asked him while standing and gripping my towel to my body tighter.

I could tell by his mannerisms he was trying to be cautious with me. He was judging to see my reaction to his news since I was still in complete shock.

"Ebony, I don't know what you are thinking but I am sure you have a lot of questions. But to be clear, I am not insane, if I need to prove to you I am a werewolf I can do that for you," Raul explained to me while shifting on my bed to get closer to me. "Just please say something."

The closer he got to me the more I found my body naturally cowering and stepping away from him. My mind just kept rationalizing that werewolves are not real but his tone with me showed no lying detected since he believed he was a werewolf.

"Are you going to hurt me?" I asked as tears came to my eyes, I was very frightened of Raul already.

I didn't know what to expect with him but I definitely did not expect this bomb. I was just praying the other day how I wanted to end up with a normal guy and settle down, major emphasis on normal.

"No! Of course not, never in my life Ebony will I hurt you. It is one of my many important jobs to be your mate, is to not hurt you and to keep you safe," Raul assured me as he looked at me seemingly hurt by my question.

I nodded my head towards him but still couldn't find the courage to look him in the eyes. I just couldn't believe I slept with Raul twice and didn't piece enough of the weird behaviors together to kick him out and be forever done with him.

I still felt myself needing proof he was a werewolf. I just couldn't imagine he was telling the truth since I would think some part of the werewolf communities existence hadn't already been exposed. I bit my lip as I continued to think about what Raul told me.

"I need you to show me," I turned to him after my statement making him jump up quickly into action.

"Of course!" Raul said with almost too much excitement in his voice. "I could show you my teeth and claws before a complete shift. Or I could shift completely right here for you?"

His offer was too casual for me to feel normal after his question. He can just shift right fucking here in my bedroom, in a snap, he doesn't need a moon or anyone's help?

"You can shift right here?" I asked baffled by his statement.

"Sure, but I have to warn you," Raul paused as he reached for me and gripped my forearm. "My wolf has not met you in his full form, so he might be really excited. Just know he will never hurt you either, ok?"

Raul's seriousness made a lump form in my throat and my anxiety rise. I paused thinking of his statement as he waited for me to reply. I nodded my head fast telling him I was ready.
