Chapter 5It’s been three days since their date. Skylar was absolutely keen on seeing her again and Cheyenne seemed to want the same thing.It was a Saturday noon and Skylar was babysitting while Nadia and Chaskai were out.“Uncle Sky, who are you talking to?” A little red headed child asked, hopping into Skylar’s lap.“You’re future Aunty.” Skylar smiled finishing up the text and sending it.The child beamed as her older brother who had the hair color of his father instead tilted his head.“Future Aunty? Who is she?” He asked.“She is a beautiful woman. And I bet you both a nickel you’ll like her.”“You went on one date with her.” The boy said.
Chapter 6It was loud, obnoxiously loud. The lights were all different colors flying across the room in their laser beam state and the crowd was over joyed with the ear numbing music.Cheyenne had come to the club with her friend Melisa. Melisa was definitely a party goer and Cheyenne enjoyed a party every now and again.They both were dancing and grinding against each other as best friends would to the beat of the music.Later, they split off. Melisa went to get a drink and Cheyenne went to the bathroom. When she came out, she nearly ran into a tall drunken flirt.“Hey there, sweet cheeks. You trying to come home with a real man tonight?” He slurred getting too close for comfort.Cheyenne scrunched her fa
Chapter 7“Did you still want to go home?”They’d been standing in the woods for what seemed like hours, Cheyenne still in his embrace.Cheyenne, of course didn’t know where she wanted to go or what she wanted to do.“I can take you home.” Skylar’s voice sounded again.Cheyenne still didn’t respond.Should she go home? She thought about leaving Skylar and imagined her having yet another panic attack on her bathroom floor.Something about Skylar made the panic cease. His presence made everything seem like it’d be okay. She feared if she left his presence, she’d just die.“Cheyenne?”“No.”It was quiet again.She had lost her mind. She’s going against all her morals and common freakin sense.“What do you want to do then?”Cheyenne sighed and pu
Chapter 8His.It sounded too real for her. The last time she belonged to someone, she was traumatized. But the last time she belonged to someone, she hadn’t had a choice.Skylar made it clear more than once that he wouldn’t hurt her and she believed it. If he wanted to hurt her he definitely would have done it by now and she wouldn’t be able to fight him off.“Cheyenne, I know it’s only been a little while but you’re my world. I promised I wouldn’t hurt you. Now I’m promising I won’t let anyone else hurt you.”“How? By killing them? I couldn’t ask you to just flat out kill someone simply because they hurt my feelings.” She frowned.“You wouldn’t have to ask me.” Skylar frowned back.
Chapter 9Two hours had flown by as Skylar and Cheyenne continued to talk and it was time for her to go to work.As Skylar drove out of the woods and turned onto the back roads, he frowned coming to a realization that Cheyenne hadn’t eaten.“You didn’t eat.”“I’ll pick something up on break.”“What time is that?”Cheyenne thought.“Maybe like nine or ten.”“You’re going to go two to three hours without food? With only this mornings breakfast on your stomach?”“Sky, I’ll be find.”Skylar frowned at her and continued to drive.“We will stop somewhere.”“Skylar—!”“No, we’re stopping somewhere, you’re going to eat and you will go to work.”It was quiet.“Where do y
Chapter 10Skylar has finally managed to calm Cheyenne down.She was sitting against the wall, puffy, red eyed and chapped lipped while Skylar was soothing her a bit more.“Tell me what happened. Can you do that?” Skylar asked as calmly as he could as he fought down his wolf.He rubbed her hand a little more, trying to comfort her, not wanting to get to close and sending her into another panic attack.Cheyenne looked so fearful and paranoid but never pulled her hand away from his.She was quiet, didn’t say anything and looked like she was in a state of shock.Skylar knew she probably wouldn’t talk anytime soon and came to terms with it. All he could do was get her home safely.Skylar slowly made his move towards her to help her stand. Cheyenne flinched but didn’t protest, following Skylar’s lead out to his car.He buckled her in and realized she had
Chapter 11Skylar was sitting in the beanbag chair across the room from Cheyenne. He knew that she’d probably freak out if she woke up with him next to her.He was falling asleep but didn’t want to miss any cries for help in the middle of the night.He knew Cheyenne was damaged, he just didn’t know how deep the scars ran. She’s been broken and this Oliver guy definitely was the one that did it.That was a fact.One thing for sure is if Skylar hadn’t made a promise to Cheyenne, he’d be hunting the bastard down.Cheyenne’s eyes fluttered open as the sun rays bled through the ash gray curtains. She sat up in the queen size bed, noticing she was the only one in it.Looking
Chapter 12Cheyenne was staring at the knife on the table and looked up at Skylar.“A knife? I can’t kill him.”Skylar shook his head.“Not kill, no. Wound him enough for you to get away.”“To get away?”“I’m not going to be with you all the time, unfortunately. That is most likely when he’ll strike you. I want you to carry this knife with you, everywhere you go, even after we handle this guy.”Picking up the knife, Cheyenne nodded. It was a little heavy in her hand.“Why do you have a knife? Just on you?”Skylar tilted his head.“I always have a weapon, Princess. Werewolf world is different from the human world.”“Then I can’t take your knife. What if you’re hurt because you gave it to me?”“Princess, I am a trained wa
