MOVING FORWARDMarie doesn't return in time which leaves me worried. She watched her mother die, almost got eaten herself. But Grayson wasn't like the others- well that still remains to be seen. But there are redeeming qualities to him. For one, killing her would have been a piece of cake while I was out those three days, he could've easily lied and said he left her behind and I would have been none the wiser. But he didn't and there isn't enough words to express how grateful I am to him for that. After everything I've been through with Herberus, I couldn't fail her.But I still understood the underlying fear she had. They were predators, we were prey. It's only natural for us to react like this. To want to be on opposites sides of the line. I just don't know what to do about it. If push comes to shove and I'm really forced to return to the camp, I can bear the humiliation and torture. I can bite my tongue and live out my days like th
GRAYSON TRUTHS I kid you not when I say this woman was made to test every fibre of patience that courses within me. Gerzi had left when we went to the human colony, going back to the Regency to ensure everything was doing fine and I had finally managed to sever Leila from Marie. A rather dirty work I might admit, but it was for the best. I wasn't walking any further with a creature nuturing a festering resentment against me. Especially in the event that I was the one who saved it. For days now something just felt off. I couldn't place my finger on it but I knew staying around would eventually prove what it was. And here it was indeed. I was only gone for a matter of maybe half an hour when all the hairs on my skin raised in awareness. The pungent smell was every where and clouding my senses. I wasn't in the mood to go after it, espcially when I knew leaving Leila for too long meant I had more problems to deal with and it wasn't as if she wouldn't try. A part of me wanted to belie
UNMENTIONED WORDS Our relationship doesn't improve and just like Marie had, I know I've started to resent Grayson somewhat. It's a mix of feelings I cannot sort through. It's not as if I'm ungrateful for all the care he's given me, but just the thought of him having a hand in trafficking the humans makes me sick. I can't get over it. I'm not special, I don't see myself as being special. It could have been me out there. He allowed those wretched monsters to devour and hurt Trish and for that my heart can't ever forgive them. Werewolves were monsters and humans were just to blame for stooping to their levels. So yes, maybe there is a difference between Grayson and Herberus. There's a big difference, but I don't want to think of them right now while I'm wallowing in self-righteousness. "We need to find shelter before the rain" Grayson grumbles and I glance up to find the graying billows tumbling across the sky. He's not tellin
I force myself to eat but the food is tasteless. It's tasteless because I know I'm the reason Grayson left and I'm afraid he won't return. I'm not suppose to care about hurting a werewolf's feeling, days ago I wouldn't have given a crabs ass about it. But that was days ago, things have changed alot since then. Sun finally peaks out at some point, the heavy rains ceased and when I peer outside the window, I groan at the substantial amount of water that has gathered outside. If I'm being honest, I couldn't mind settling here, I'm so tired of having to move all the time and being wounded doesn't make the adventure any feasible. But atlas I don't have a say in whatever Grayson decides, until my back heals, I can only give him grief, but that's it. I creep back to my bed, lying against it and watch the door. I listen for footsteps that don't come, neither does the door open revealing the large lug of a man that has been chasing me since time eternal.The fire before me screams for fuel as
IGNITE What the hell does he even mean by that?!"Yes I have!" I reiterate"No you haven't," Grayson states coldly.I wiggle beneath him once more and this time Grayson grips both my hips."Leila stop. You're gonna get us both in trouble if you keep this up.""You stop."Grayson groans, taking hold on both my hands lying atop me. He's heavy, but I can tell he hasn't placed his entire weight against me. His eagerness pokes at me and I find it funny that at least one part of him has a sense of humor while the other is always so tense. "Be honest. If you've felt this way before then you'd know what's going on.""I don't know what you're talking about but I'm perfectly normal.""Normal yes, but your behavior isn't. Leila you didn't even want me to carry you just a day ago much more to touch any intimate part of you.""Will you please get off. You're like a rock."My playfulness has turned into angst that even I'm surprised as my evident moodiness. Grayson rolls away and I turn lying on m
TRUCEMy lower parts hummed with new life, electricity surging through my body, jumping from him to be and backwards everytime our skin connects. I don't know what this is between us and the delightful sensations just keep errupting over and over again. I'm still there with him physically but losing my mine, and oh my oh....My body shudders as waves after waves collide within me. Grayson sucks on my skin, finding that sensitive place at the hollow of my neck, his tongue dancing back and forth while my hand grips his shirt bundling the fabric between my fingers.My head hits the wall of the hut, feet becoming jello, but he catches me, an arm anchoring me against him while Grayson pressed into me. God I hated how full and tender my breasts felt. Every sensation, every tingle felt too surreal. Why didn't I know about any of this?"Gray..." My toes curled, core throbbed, heart accelerated and I was gasping for breath like a fish outside of water.I was going to
NUSIANCES It's official. We were both staying together through sheer stubbornness to abandon each other. I think we'd be the first interspecies couple-item, whatever the label might be. The whole thought process surrounding it just feels wrong. But Grayson's fine with it. Either Werewolves or humans would surely seek to kill us once they found out, he isn't bothered by that thought either. He's a creature of war, he'll fight for us. But while I don't doubt his abilities to protect us, I still think we're idiots with a death wish. I don't think he's thinking logically. There's nothing that points to our compatibility and even if or when we do manage to have a more intimate relationship, that doesn't mean I'll be able to carry his child. He hasn't thought about that."You won't be able to have children you know" I say to him.Grayson glances up from his work that he's doing to the hut that we now call home."Says who?""Genetics. We're two
MINE "We've got a problem" I say folding my hands. Grayson gathers his instruments, while separting the plants into group or categories or whatever it is he does, but doesn't respond to me which makes me agitated. "Grayson!" "Speak you mind Leila" He grumbles. So I do. "Meat? You're giving him meat and still have the heart to tell me he won't eat me?" "He won't" "He's eating an animal" "He's a carnivore Leila, did you expect me to toss him an apple?" "Preferably" "Don't be ridiculous" "You found him atop my person just minutes ago" "I already told you, Gerzi only wanted to scare you. He won't ever hurt you" I fold my arms, upset that he's not taking my views into consideration. I was the victim here. When he sees that I'm quiet, Grayson glances at me across his shoulder. "What are you really afraid of Leila?" Everything! But mostly him. "I'm afraid of what I know to be tried and true Grayson. You've forgotten th
