After a quick shower and change I headed downstairs to find my parents hanging out in the kitchen talking animatedly. Of course they would be super excited that Melanie was coming home. Melanie after all was the golden child, graduated from high school a year early, went to medical school to become a well known doctor, and even joined the same pack as my parents.
I guess you could say where I was the disappointment, my sister was the pride and joy.
"Marissa." My mother called the minute she spotted me. "I just got off the phone with Melanie, she will be in early tomorrow morning. She wants you to go pick her up from the airport."
Why me? My parents were just as capable of picking her up as I was.
"Sorry, I have class tomorrow morning." It was a lie, but how were they to know?
"Class?" My dad asked narrowing his eyes. "I thought you didn't have classes on Tuesdays."
"It is a special elective th
Covered in sweat and dirt I leaned back on my heels. Burying the rogue that I had killed had turned out to be a bigger pain than I thought it would. The guy was huge, I mean HUGE, and burying him in wolf form had taken a lot of digging.Sighing I sat back and looked up to the starry sky above, it had gotten pretty late out and the moon was high in the sky."Fuck." I huffed collapsing on the ground.My parents were probably freaking out right about now given the fact I hadn't come home yet. How could I explain my disheveled form to them when I arrived? When the rogue attacked the other night I hadn't bothered telling my parents about it, because frankly I didn't think it was that big of a deal. But now that a second had made an appearance there wasn't any keeping this a secret.Getting up I brushed what dirt I could off my body and began making my way slowly home, I need to think of what to tell my parents when I
Kicking a rock around I tried to figure out exactly where it was that I could go for the evening.Staying with Amanda was completely out of the question as her parents would harass me to go back home. Staying in the park for the night was a possible option, but I didn't know if another rogue would appear or not.As I continued to walk the sound of an engine could be heard driving up behind me. Turning I held a hand over my eyes to block the harsh light that was beaming off the vehicles headlights trying to see who the ass hole that was trying to blind me was."What the hell do you think you're doing?" I growled leaning into the passenger window.The smell of pine and cedar immediately attacked my nose as I took a deep breath."Coming to see what my silly mate is doing roaming around late at night." Came Travis' delicious voice."Who is your mate?" I asked leaning my elbows on the windowsill. "I never agreed to that."
"Travis we have company." I called to the wolf Travis that was still pinning the dead rogue to the ground. If we weren't in such a messy situation I would actually take appreciation in the dark brown wolf that was staring at me with golden eyes.Sighing I realized that by this point in the game I didn't have a choice but to change, it would be quicker to defeat the last three rogues in wolf form compared to human. Cursing under my breath I allowed Travis to hold the wolves at bay as I raced off to change in peace.Yanking off my clothes I began the process feeling my bones begin to contort and reshape entirely as Chloe began pacing excitedly in my head. She had been wanting in on the action and was thrilled that I was finally allowing her to have the reigns.'I got this,' Chloe said happily as the transformation process finished and I let out a howl.Dashing forward I luxuriated in the feel of my muscles working to move quickly and smoot
"Mmmmmmm Marissa." Travis's husky voice whispered in my ear as his warm mouth nipped at my earlobe sending a shiver of pleasure through me."Travis." I moaned as his hands began working their way underneath my shirt."I want you." Travis growled as his hands cupped my flesh mounds and began kneading."You can have me." I moaned too turned on to keep calm.Jumping up in bed I looked around quickly. What the hell was that just now? Was I serioulsy just having a wet dream about Travis?Shaking my head I tried to clear the last bit of haze from sleep and passion from my mind. These type of dreams were something I ABSOLUTELY could not be having, otherwise, I dreaded the consequences.Looking at the clock I realized it was only four in the morning, there were still three hours left before I had to pretend to go to my school club to avoid having to go pick my sister up from the airport. Sighing I plopped
"If you're here and free why don't you come to my office and help me grade some papers?" Travis whispered before leaning back and giving me a rueful smirk.Did he truly believe that i was willing to be all alone with him in his office? He had to be out of his damn mind."Sorry teach, but I'm busy." I said easily smirking back. "After all, it won't be appropriate for a teacher and student to be seen alone together, don't you agree?""Do you really think I care about what everyone says?" Travis asked lifting a brow. "You're my mate and in the end we are going to end up together for life. A few rumors won't harm me.""Sorry teach," I said continuing to smile, "but I don't want to ruin my perfect reputation."Tilting his back Travis gave a bellowing laugh. "Do you think I haven't heard what people have said about you around here?"What people have said about me... chances were they called me a rough girl who k
A loud growl sounded as a blur of a human zoomed past and tackled the crazy masochist to the ground. Gasping I took in the sight trying to comprehend what had just happened."Travis?" I snapped as I realized the blur had been none other than my English teacher and mate Travis. "Aren't you supposed to be teaching class?"Looking up Travis narrowed his eyes while he held the crazy man on the ground."What the hell is going on here?" He demanded placing a hand around the guys throat. "Why are you touching my mate?"Rolling my eyes I couldn't help but feel annoyed with Travis' possessive behavior."Who is your mate?" I asked coming over and grabbing the back of Travis' shirt.Pulling I yanked him off the masochist who had begun to turn blue from being choked."What are you doing?" Travis asked looking to me and then back to the guy that was smiling goofily again."Look at him!" I growled pointing
"Where are you going all in a huff?" Travis asked coming up behind me."Home." I snapped not turning to look at him.The people walking on the sidewalk around us were giving us odd looks as they took in Travis stalking me and laughing while I continued paying him no mind."Great, I will come with you to see my in-laws." Travis said.Whirling I narrowed my gaze on him. "What do you mean you're going to see your in-laws? Who ever agreed to being with you?"I couldn't for the life of me understand why Travis didn't seem to get it through his thick skull that I didn't want anything to do with him. Why wouldn't he leave me alone already?""You know, this hard to get act is just making me want to conquer you even more." Travis pointed out. "What fun is an easy prey anyway?"Did this man just compare me to prey?"You're insane." I said turning and beginning to move forward once more."Maybe." He said as
"You're talking crazy." I snapped beginning to stand. "I don't want to join any pack let alone yours.""Marissa, as my mate you should follow me." Travis said as if it was the most natural thing there was. "Otherwise do you expect me to join your pack?""I'm not part of a pack." I pointed out.Travis and I had only known each other for four days so of course he wouldn't be aware of the fact I had yet to join a pack. Hell, he wouldn't even be aware of the fact I had absolutely no intention of joining one EVER."How can you not be part of a pack?" Travis asked eyes widening. "You should be well aware of what happens to a wolf that doesn't become part of a pack.""What proof do you have that it is true that happens?" I demanded. "Do you personally know someone who knows someone? Or know someone yourself? Hmmm?""No, but still you have to be crazy to even consider not joining a pack." Travis said staring at me
