"Wake up Chloe!" 'Crap! You over slept again and now moms screaming for you, can't believe you hit the snooze button again' internally yelling at my self once again. I get up stretching my back and hop out of bed and run to the shower to grab a quick one to wake myself up. Finished showering and dressed, I put on my converse and look at myself in the mirror, jean shorts with a slipknot shirt my jean jacket and my red converse, yeah that works for today I guess. I walk down the hall and turn the corner to my mom tapping her watch at me and I rolled my eye's, "I know I'm late, I'm sorry mom. Can you give me a ride still tho?" I asked looking at her with my puppy dog eye's, she rolled hers back at me, smirked "Hurry up and get in the car, you know when you are late you make me late too". Finally we get the school as I jump out, blow a kiss back to her then race off to class. My day goes by like a typical day. I don't really like school, my classes are boring as they are way to easy for

Lucas's POVOut on my typical nightly run. The moon was full and beautiful tonight, I shed my skin and started barreling through the woods on all fours, the wind skimming through my fur, this is when I felt the most alive. I just turned 18 at midnight and the only thing I wanted to do was run, it was later than I usually go but I wanted to wait for my birthday. As I was enjoying my time running to my favorite clearing I heard what sounded like sobs, not a wolf but a person, a girl, I sniffed the air and could smell lilacs and peppermint wafting through the breeze towards me, I stopped in an instant, frozen in my tracks, I followed the scent, overcome by it when I saw her, running, terrified but looking like she was about to collapse, I ran shifting as I got to her and grabbed her. She screamed and swung her arms trying to hit me, she was weak, tired and from the looks of her she had been running for quite some time. Her clothes where ripped apart barely covering her. I spoke softly to

Chloe's POVWhile my head was telling me to stay my body just relaxed into Lucas's body. He smelled sweet yet earthy and it was intoxicating. I tried to stop crying and eventually felt myself drifting back off to sleep while wrapped in his arms.I awoke, in what seemed like hours later as it was now dark in the room and the light was off. Still feeling him around me I looked up to him as he was sleeping in the bed with me holding onto me so tight it kept me feeling at peace. I tried to sit up but he pulled me even closer to his chest and then he whispered to me "Don't go, I want to keep you with me" I looked up at him and he opened his eyes, those piercing blue eyes and I felt my whole body tremble at his words. "I don't have anywhere to go, they were all I had left in my life" the tears building again "I will stay with you, if you are positive about me staying, I don't want to be an inconvenience or make anyone feel out of place" he looked down to me and gently touch my face rubbing

Lucas's POV When we walked out of the hospital I looked down to her and saw the expression on her face when she looked around at her new surroundings, I can't tell if she was nervous or not. The realization that she wasn't where she probably thought she was hit her but she looked almost at peace with it. I didn't want to say anything, just wanted her to be able to take it all in and only answer her if she questioned anything. When we got to the car and she got in, I took in a deep breath, put her bag in the trunk before climbing in next to her. I couldn't help but look at her, constantly watching her expressions, she truly says everything with her eyes, they speak volumes, she looked at me and I could tell she realized I was watching her with a ridiculous grin upon my face and she smiled ever so shyly before looking down and then back to the window. It took everything in me to not want to touch her face so she would look at me again, those deep eye staring into mine, instead I just k

Chloe's POV Standing in my towel, feeling very exposed as I stare at the smiling face in front of me. "You're Chloe, right!?" "Ummm.. Yes... Are you Austen?" I could barely make eye contact "Yes! I am so happy to finally meet you!!! I hope you don't mind, sorry for just bursting in here I thought I'd be back out before you came out of the bathroom. I forgot to put some stuff in here that I got you. When my brother went and got stuff for you from your house he was a bit embarrassed about going through your panties" she chuckles "so I went and got you some when I got some clothes for you so I wanted to bring them in here so you had some stuff, hope you don't mind." I was a bit stunned, I didn't even think about that, and it's cute he was shy and didn't grab those. "Wow, thank you so much I can't believe you did all that for me. I don't know what to say." I was so thankful, looking at her I was in awe of her beauty, she looked a lot like Lucas, perfect waist length hair that was a beaut
