I shivered at his voice, goosebumps rising along my skin. I pushed him away, my breath ragged and quick. "Leave me alone. Get out." I pushed him towards the door, but he planted his feet. I pushed untill my arms gave out I fell against his chest. I felt the sparks shot up and down my body and tried to pull away. I couldn't though. He put his arms my thin body and held on. "Pepper, you're done running. Stop pushing everyone away and let the past fall away." I continued to pull away until he finally gave in and let go. I back into the wall in hopes to get away from him. It didn't work out. "You have no where to go Pepper. And you have to accept the fact that you aren't alone anymore. You have a whole pack at your heels and ready to catch you. They are your family." He stepped forward and had his body against mine and met my eyes. "Your not a lone wolf anymore. Your Mine. And I will protect you. I promise." (WAS NO LONGER A LONEWOLF)
