                                                                Riley POV


The past few days have got me thinking, and on edge, I've been pushing Kol and his siblings away, 

Mainly because I'm afraid, I don't want to admit it but I am afraid, 

I guess I should explain, my family the one's that kicked me on the streets, the one's that abandoned me, they have been hunting me, 

Because of what I am a Coyote an in-balance in nature, a abomination, 

Anyway we are getting off topic here, so I've been pushing them away so it wouldn't hurt so bad when I do leave, 

I have to leave before they find me, before they try to kill me and everyone I care about everyone I've come in contact with, 

I am currently sitting in the living room reading a book, I'm sitting indian style, 

But I haven't been reading, my thoughts were spiraling, 

"You know darling I'm not one for reading, but I know you are not reading that book at all," Kol said 

I looked up at him to see him leaning against the door way, 

"Why do you say that?" I asked blankly 

"Well because you've been on the same page for the last five minutes," He said 

I just rolled my eyes, 

He sat down next to me, 

I stiffened, 

"So tell me darling, why have you been pushing all of us away?" Kol said 

Nope, nu uh, not getting into this, I thought 

I stood up but felt his hand around my wrist, 

"Riley what the hell is your problem?!" He yelled 

"Nothing..." I mumbled feeling hurt that I'm doing this to him, 

He had me backed up to the wall, 

"Riley what has you so terrified, I can see it in your eyes," He said with his forehead pressed against mine, 

"You wouldn't understand," I said below a whisper, 

"What wouldn't I understand? trust me I've been through my fair share, Riley... please talk to me," Kol said 

"I... I'm being hunted, that's why I have to leave," I said 

"By those hunters? you took-" He said 

But I interrupted him, 

I shook my head no, 

"No, by... my family..." I said looking down, 

"Darling look at me," He said 

I just couldn't, 

I felt his fingers hook under my chin, making me look at him, 

"Why are they after you Riley?" He said concerned 

"Because of what I am," I said feeling my emotion build up, 

"That's why I can't be here with you! or anyone don't you understand!?" I said feeling a tear for the first time in a long time fall down my cheek, 

"Darling calm down nothing is going to happen," He said 

I shook my head no, 

"Don't you see everyone I come in contact with is in danger of them, that is why I can't stay here with you," I said 

I felt him cup my cheeks, 

"Don't talk like that you are staying here and we will figure this out I promise," He said 

"You can't stop them no one can," I said continuing to cry, 

"We will and we can," He said bringing me into a hug, 

"I promise..." He mumbled
