Chapter 7: I Need To Know More
“Lee!” Ann and Maria rushed to me, almost knocking me over. They hugged me tight, not as tight as Ash did but tight enough to hurt my already throbbing ribs.
“Careful with her, she just woke up.” Ash spoke softly behind me. I could feel his fingers on the small of my back, probably prepared to catch me if I fell or passed out again.
I pulled out of their embrace and turned my head, just enough for him to see my sarcastic expression. “It’s a miracle, he speaks!” My voice echoed the sarcasm. His eyes mere slits glared at me. I couldn’t help but smile victoriously.
“What?” Maria asked confused. I turned to her; she was shifting her gaze between Ash and me.
“He’s giving me the silent treatment. Apparently, I’m not taking my fainting spells seriously enough,” I answered her.
“We are taking you to the hospital!” Ann commanded.
Before I could say anything, three voices boomed harshly, “No!” It was Joe, Billy and my dad. Ash said nothing he di

“What?” I stopped. I couldn’t believe it. That meant my dad’s mind wasn’t the only one I read.Ash pulled me forward forcing me to walk. “After you eat and you get checked out, we’ll talk.”I wanted to talk about it right now, but I knew Ash wouldn’t say a word unless I did what he said. He was bossy and stubborn—not as stubborn as I was but close enough.* * * *“So what’s the verdict?” Ann stood by the door, far away from the smell of the raw meat. Maria sat across from me with Joe next to her.Billy and Dad had gone out. I asked Ash where they had disappeared to, but he wasn’t offering any explanations. That only meant they had either gone hunting for food or Sabrina.Ash brought another plate of peppered steak and replaced it with the empty one I had. I cut into it, relishing its bloody taste. Maria was getting used to all the

I didn’t bother to answer him. My eyes were fixed on his perfect lips. Before he could say another word, I reached up and pulled his head down locking my lips to his.I had missed his taste. His lips were hard as they responded to mine. My legs felt weak; I grabbed and held on to him for support. It always felt new when he kissed me and always very intoxicating.He broke the kiss and held me back. I whined. It had only been a few seconds. But when I looked up his face looked labored, his eyes were closed and his head lowered. His breathing was a little ragged. I hadn’t even noticed Joe was standing next to us. He looked relieved. I shifted my gaze between them. Did I miss something?“Did I do something wrong?” Ash licked his lips lustfully, Joe moved closer. Damn, I’d forgotten about the bloody taste. “I’m sorry, I forgot.”“I forgot you attack when baited.” Ash’s lips curved into a crooked

“Lee, how do you know this is the right way?” Ann asked from the back seat.I didn’t feel comfortable telling her that I was following Ash’s scent. I wasn’t comfortable knowing that either. I just picked up his scent, how, I don’t know. I followed it into the woods, driving slowly and carefully. “I think you’ve had enough shocks for today.”“Are we getting any closer?” Maria asked excitedly.I inhaled deeply—Ash’s scent was getting stronger. I felt awkward answering her. “Yes.”We drove for a few more minutes before I stopped. I could hear Ash’s voice but it wasn’t clear enough. I got out of the car and walked towards it.“Lee, are they here?” Maria whispered behind me.The voices were much clearer; Ash’s scent was stronger. “They’re here,” I answered enthusiastically.“We are going to get int

It was dark when we pulled up into the driveway. The one and a half hour drive didn’t help me relax one bit. I was still fretting. Usually Ash’s temper never scared me this much, but there was a neon sign in my head warning me away from him.The door opened and Dave stepped out, closing the door behind him. He had his hands in his front jeans’ pockets and a huge grin on his face. We got out and walked towards him, our shopping bags in hand.“Hi, girls!” he called out cheerfully.“Hi, Dad. How’s everyone?” By everyone I meant Ash.“Fine.” He hugged all of us when we got to the door.“Explain fine?” I wanted to know what exactly to expect when I saw Ash.“They were really angry about what you did, but when it got dark and you weren’t home yet they got worried. They’re waiting for you.”“Thanks. Why aren’t you mad?” I had bee

“Oh, sorry. As I was saying before I got sidetracked, Billy and Joe were difficult to separate. So I picked up Joe’s scent from Maria, he’s the light brown one isn’t he?”“Yes.” He sounded tense. He looked even more worried than happy.“What’s wrong?”“It’s been three months since I bit you. You are changing slowly, but your abilities are emerging solid. I thought they would develop slowly too.”I swallowed hard. “You say it as if it’s a bad thing.”“When the real change happens…” His face creased in frustration. I could tell my complete change was something he wasn’t looking forward to.“I think it’s time you told me the whole story. All of it, including Baku.”“I was made what I am to fight Baku after he was changed. The spirits that made him a werewolf wanted me to put a stop to him, to co

He stood up and pulled me up then took a few steps back to look at me. “You’re right, you look thinner.” I was glad I hadn’t put on weight, but I wasn’t sure if it was a good thing or not. “But no on the slim figure. You are padding up around your waist.”“Hey!” I put my hands over the bump to hide it.He laughed. “Come on, I’ll cook for you.” He took my hand and led me downstairs.We found the others seated in the living room. They stared at us as we descended the flight of stairs. “Let me guess, they were listening in?”Ash chuckled. “They could hear and I guess they told the girls too.”“Privacy in this house is like Snopholofagus.”“What?” He asked me amused.“The elephant? Big bird’s imaginary friend in Sesame Street? I loved that show when I was a kid.”“They were just making sure you were safe. And you are still a kid.”I got worried when he called me a kid again. He still thought of me as a child? “Is that why you won’t…you know…”“Snopholofagus.” He pointed to his ear then to

Four weeks rushed by fast, and it was time to start college. It was my new start as a grown woman. I was glad that Dave would finally have to treat me like an adult and Ash would be more comfortable now that he was no longer dating a high school kid. Maybe now he’d actually be more open to doing more than just kiss.We hadn’t been together since he found out I was eighteen and he also hadn’t touched me in any suggestive way since we moved in together. He always said it was out of respect for my dad, which I understood. But I still felt like there was more to it. My dad had drummed in the fact that I was way too young for a serious relationship, which made Ash reserved around me. I may like to go around unnoticed but I hated it when Ash ignored me.I hadn’t had a fainting episode in weeks, so Ash seemed less worried about me and more about other things. I rarely saw him and when we were together he was too preoccupied to pay attention to a word I

We pushed the cars forward, Ann took the lead and Maria was close behind her. I looked at my rear view mirror to see three wolves following us. They were determined to make sure we finished the race in one piece. I revved the car and tried to overtake but the two cars ahead of me had filled up the path. The only way around them was through the woods. I banked hard to my left and sped into the woods. It was darker inside but I could still see just fine, another perk of being half wolf. I sped through, climbing over rocks and dodging trees. This route was much more fun than the straight flat path the others took. I heard a crash behind me. I looked behind to see a huge grey wolf running after me. Ash was following me, and he was catching up fast. I stepped on the accelerator and pushed the car forward much faster. I could feel my whole body tingle with excitement. I grabbed the steering wheel harder with my left hand, my right stayed glued on the shifter. I never liked
