"Come here beautiful". Holding out his hand for me to take I hesitated. It didn''t go un-noticed, he frowned. "I''m not going to hurt you". It was his eyes I trusted, the ck color fading. Slipping my hand into his he pulled me to him, his arms wrapping securely around my waist. "Your hearts racing". He whispered. After what I just witnessed I wasn''t surprised it was racing. "Thank you". I whispered. He stood up for me, he was on my side. "But I could have handled them". I grinned into his chest.


    As he pulled back I saw the yfulness dance in his eyes. "I don''t doubt that for a second princess". Brushing his nose against mine my eyes closed a sigh falling from my lips. I shouldn''t be here. Some paragraphs are iplete if you are not reading this novel on NovelDrama.Org. Visit NovelDrama.Org to read theplete chapters for free. I didn''t want to feel like I needed him. No matter how much I wanted him I had to put a little space between us. I had a lot to think about and I couldn''t do that wrapped up in his arms. "I''m going to head home". His grip tightened. "Jake". I sighed.


    "I get it princess". Loosening his grip on my waist I moved back putting some space between us. I really hoped he did get it. I was kind of being thrust into a world I didn''t know existed. It was all happening way too fast. "Maybe see youter". I smiled.


    ..


    I jumped face first onto my bed. The rain had stopped and the wind had calmed down. I just hoped they would open the road back up so my gran coulde home. It had been a whirlwind of a day but I felt better. My body didn''t hurt as much and the desire to rip his clothes off had settled.


    Turning over I threw an arm over my eyes. My mind was trying to process everything at once. I was his mate. He was a werewolf. We were destined to be together.


    I burst outughing.


    You couldn''t make this up.


    I was still trying to figure out how this was real.


    Taking my phone from my jacket pocket I pressed her number and put it on speaker.


    "Hey honey".


    "Storms stopped. Are youing home?". I wasn''t annoyed that she wasn''t here it just didn''t feel right. I didn''t like being home alone.


    "The roads still shut Leah. They don''t think the worst of the storm has passed yet. They are taking precautious just in case. I''m sorry honey I should never have went out". She sighed.


    "It''s okay I just miss having you here".Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    "I know sweetheart. Hopefully the worst is been and gone and I cane home tomorrow. What happened to staying with nna?". She asked.


    "Her ce is a little overcrowded". I lied. Jakes house was massive but I needed a little time on my own. "But I''ll be fine. I''ll order take-out and watch a film".


    "There''s money under the clock in the living room. Hopefully you can get pizza or something. Stay safe Leah I''ll see you soon".


    "Bye". Ending the call I grabbed my remote and turned my tv on. It waste afternoon and already dark outside. Searching through Netflix I settled on the real housewives of Beverly hills. It was a program you could have on but not really pay attention to. I wasn''t sure what to do with myself. Scrolling through Facebook I grinned when I read the start of the message he had sent.


    ''You going to let mee stay again tonight?''


    It''s not that I didn''t want him here I just thought after today it would be good to have a little space from each other. A little breather. I was now in control of my feelings. Did I still want him? Yes, but the ache was light, the burning barely there. I knew seeing him today helped, his touch andfort helped.


    ''Absolutely... NOT!!''


    He would hate that reply.


    ''We''ll see''


    I grinned I loved the yfulness, the excitement of whatever it was we had. Sinking my teeth into my bottom lip I typed my reply.


    ''Bring me dinner and I''ll think about it;)"


    Getting off my bed I pulled out some fresh pjs. I nned on soaking in the bath with some good music, a little me time. Time to chill out. Connecting my phone to my speakers I shuffled a ylist on Spotify throwing my phone on my bed once I was done. Heading towards the bathroom I pulled my T-shirt over my head throwing it into theundry basket. It was amazing how music made me feel. There was always a song I could rte to. Music was good for the soul.


    Running the water into the tub I added some bubble bath. The only thing about ying loud music was not being able to hear anything else around you.


    I almost had a heart attack when a hand was ced on my shoulder.


    "Lana! LANA". I screamed pulling her in for a hug. I didn''t care that her touch burned my skin, she was here, she was actually here. Rushing towards my room I grabbed my phone turning off the music. "Remember me?". She winked. "Don''t cry". She whispered her tears matching mine.


    "How are you even here right now?". Drying my eyes I couldn''t stop smiling. My best friend was here. A little piece of home was here. Grabbing Jakes hoodie I pulled it over my head.


    "I''ve been here for 2 damn days. Bloody road was shut so I was stuck in a hotel".


    If she could get here howe my gran couldn''t?


    "The roads open?". I asked.


    "I walked". She huffed kicking off her shoes. "Abandoned my car at the hotel".


    "You drove here?". I whispered.


    "Yeah". She sighed scratching the back of her head. "I kinda packed up my stuff and just drove".


    "What happened?". I frowned.


    "Nothing happened I just wanted a change and I thought why note to Texas and see my best friend".
