Dreams erupt from Ellie's head only to lead to unexplained circumstances and uncontrollable feelings.. how can a normal girl have this twist in her life, that just might change everything she knew. I quickened my pace and looked behind me, nothing.Why was I so worried?
I turned to look back and realized my fate was sealed. Charles saw me and I knew, I needed to go. I threw caush into the wind and sprinted toward the exit. I was a breath away from all this chaos he brought. He intercepted me at the door. 'Ellie, I've been looking for you' he said so sincerely, not a sinister smile nor look of aggression on his face. But I could stop the images from appearing in my head.
'Have you?' I replied nonchalantly, trying to control my tone. I put my hands in my pockets to try to make them stop shaking violently. 'Yes we haven't talked all week are you alright?' He tried to touch my shoulder, I flinched away quickly. 'Fine' I replied in a clipped tone, minutes away from breaking down on the spot.
'Did something happen?' He asked a look of total concern on his face. My breath quickened and my heart raced the images blurred through my head like a movie screen. 'Look I know what you are, and I can't get wrapped up in that, I'm sorry' I said my voice breaking at the end. I pushed past him, while tears blurred my vision. 'Wait Ellie, let me explain' He called after me. I sprinted away, until I couldn't here his calls anymore.
Bang!
I sat bolt upright. Did I imagine that? That noise? What was it? I clambered out of bed and almost fell down the stairs with the panic that had set in. My front door was wide open but nobody was there, the wood was just swinging in the doorway allowing the cool breeze in my house. What if somebody was already inside?
I hopped over the living room sofa, to climb the stairs yet again and as I made it to the landing I was thrown into the wall. My body pinned against it with a muscled form shadowing mine. A hand placed over my mouth silenced my screams that I was too scared to let out anyway. "I'm not going to hurt you. Just don't scream." It was Colton. His husky voice was a distinct reminder that he was my mate. The tingles that spread through my body made me hate but love the entire situation. I want him closer.
"You don't run away from me, understand?" I nodded, he was really close to me and my wolf purred for him to be closer. I pushed the thoughts to the back of my mind as he slowly removed his hand. "What do you want?" I demanded, making the futile attempt to shove him away though he didn't move an inch.
"I want what is mine." He replied with a low growl that sent chills up my spine. My back was still pressed firmly against the wall and I think I was in shock to move. Though I felt safe which made me feel sick, how could I be safe in the presence of him?
"No." I walked downstairs and into the kitchen.
"No?" He repeated my words back to me and I boiled the kettle for a cup of tea. My mum said tea fixes everything, then again it never fixed her relationship. "You heard me."
"I heard you clear. I'm just making sure you're happy with that answer before I make you regret it." Colton advanced forward, pure dread taking over my body at the size of him compared to me. He leaned forward so his lips were against my ear and with a soft tone he whispered. "Are you happy with that answer?"
