Chapter 5

POV James

“My name is James, James Bond”.

What the fuck is wrong with me my name is not James Bond!

You stuid twat!!

why would I tell her that, I never say shit like this what the heck is wrong with me.

Get it together!

Stella’s face was confused and then annoyed. Stella's throughts boomed into his head "Are you fucking kidding me? Who is this werido? really James bond lol!" James let out a loud short laugh to break the tension. “I’m kidd- I’m joking that’s not my name, well, it is but it’s not um yeah.”

Now she’s going to think I’m the lunatic.

Suddenly James hears Stella slowly think and confirm his fears “lunafuckingtic” is all she manages to think.

“My name is James though, I was just trying to be funny, break the ice. You know, I’m- yeah I think we should sit down?”

Again with the babbling just talk normally why is this so hard with her!

I am the soon to be alpha when my father retires!

Stella doesn’t move so James takes the lead and sits down on the couch opposite her. Stella’s mind links her thoughts again shouting at James “Jacks chair, you can’t sit there Jack’s chair!” James cuts the line as it becomes impossible to think with how loud she is projecting her thoughts. James waits and Stella sits not before finishing her glass of wine in one go. James takes a deep breath noticing Stella mirrored him he began “So you have many questions about who I and and what I am doing here. Yes?” Stella nodded not game enough to speak. James looked to her empty glass and decided to fill it again.

Leaving the bottle in front of her he sat down again, taking a sip of his own wine he decided to start with when he found her. “Okay this is going to sound like a fairy tail or horror story to someone like you but I need you to keep an open mind”. Stella mind link snaps into place again shouting “Someone like me?”.

Flinching James took a breath slowly saying “do you have to shout every time you think something!” Not meaning to yell he pinched the bridge of his nose taking a deep breath. Stella looked confused more then fearful, taking another large drink from her glass Stella sat back in the lounge with her knees together and her glass in her hands holding onto it for dear life.

James started again “Humans like you don’t know about people like me, humans have made us sound like fairy tails instead of nightmares.” James paused thinking about all the stupid movies that have come out about werwolves and vampires even though they aren’t real the humans did get some things right about werewolves. “I am a werewolf; you were a human. Until I saved your life and had to turned you” James paused waiting for Stella to realise that he had just said.

When she said nothing, James continued. “I was there when your car crashed, I was doing patrol when that car hit your car, I watched your car flip and come to a stop at the edge of the forest. I shifted and ran to see if anyone was alive as I could smell blood.” Taking breath realising Stella was holding hers, she again mirrored him and took a breath. Stella continued to stare at James as if she wasn’t really seeing him, James could tell she was still processing what he was saying as she hadn’t shouted through her mind link yet.

“When I got there there was a man in the drivers seat covered in blood, I could tell he was dying from the amount of blood he was loosing, I attempted to help him and get him out but he pushed me away and refused saying ‘my wife, save my wife, she’s pregnant please save her’ that’s when I realised you had gone through the window and you were laying in a ditch out of site.” James paused again watching Stella start to breath rapidly and tears start to fall down her cheeks silently.

James continued, “I pulled you out of the ditch and realised there was a large shard of glass sticking out of your chest collapsing your lung” James paused questioning weather he should tell her the next part. Deciding against for now James continued without telling Stella who she really was to him and the real reason for his actions.

“I realised you were dying so I did what I thought was the right thing to save your life and I bite you and fed you my blood.” Cringing as he said the last part as he knew this was the part she would freak out about, when she stayed silent James continued without looking at her knowing if he looked at her tear stained face he wouldn’t be able to stop himself from comforting her. “I pulled the glass out of your chest and my blood healed but not all of your injuries. I heard sirens so I moved you closer to the car reck so when the ambulance arrived, they would find you. I watched from afar to make sure you were okay.” James finished speaking and looked at Stella.

She had the wine bottle in her hand and she was on the edge of the seat looking as if she was about to sprint for the door. Her tears had stopped flowing as she was looking more confused, her heart was racing and her breathing was laboured as if she couldn’t get enough air into them. Minutes passed while they sat in silence, James decided to open their mind link to hear what she was thinking, “no way, no nope this is a joke right? Or I’m dreaming. Definitely dreaming. What do I do with his information? Bit me who does that? More wine yes drink this will go away. He’s lying. Is he? Why can I feel he’s telling the truth? Why do I want to believe him? Jack wanted to him to save me. Why is he looking at me like that? Jesus he’s handsome. Fuck, shut up you’re married.” James cut the link, her thoughts were coming in waves, erratic and confusing giving him a headache.

James continued “So I followed you to the hospital watched you to make sure you were okay. And I lost track of you when you left the hospital and couldn’t find you until today, I saw you in that building and.” James stopped again almost telling her what he confirmed what she was to him when she looked at him today. “And I followed you and that’s how I found you tonight.” James looked at Stella.

She opened her mouth to say something then closed it. She did this a few times when she eventually asked “You bit me? Gave me your blood? Followed me and you’re in my house? So why am I not calling the police or screaming with fear?” She asked the questions so quietly and slowly James wasn’t sure if she was talking to him or just talking out loud. James decided to answer honestly, “Because your instincts are getting stronger and they are telling you to trust me and know I’m being honest.” Stella again looked confused like he was speaking another language. “You’re turning into a werewolf.” .Stella let out a snort and then fainted.
