After eating we went into the 'pack room' as Claire called it and took our seats in one of the colorful sofas there and heck was it comfy? It felt more like sitting on foam and that people is a nice feeling
"And where is your brother?" I asked getting curious and maybe slightly missing him
"Missing him?" she asked and I gave her a stern look, am I sure these people don't read minds?
"I was just asking," I said giving her an eye roll
"He traveled to the neighboring pack," she said bringing out her phone immediately making me miss mine.
"So he's not around," I asked more like said though
"Yes but don't worry he'll be back tonight," she said with a sly smile "He can't leave his mate for too long," she said and winked
"Excuse me, one I didn't ask if he's coming back or not, and second, if he could go out, why the fuck can't I just go home and go bring some of my stuff," I said feeling angry, I mean common, I already accepted the fact that I have no choice but to stay as a voluntary hostage but why the fuck is it so hard to just go to my apartment and take some essential stuff of mine?
There was a moment I was even thinking maybe when you get into this town you can't get out and that all these people are trapped in here but now that I'm hearing Damien traveled why the fuck can't I?
"I know you want to go so bad Layla, but you just can't," she said and I got infuriated
"But why!" I almost screamed but still, I got some peoples attention to us
"I can't tell you that," she said turning back to her phone and typing away getting me more pissed, noticing that we still got onlookers which are the set of people I hate the most, the ones who can't keep their nose in their business and must get to know what is going on everywhere
"And what the hell are you guys staring at!" I screamed at them "haven't you guys seen someone screaming because they're angry before? And even if you haven't do you have to stare so blatantly, haven't you shame!"
And just like the command it was, they, not just the people I caught staring but everybody in the room scurried away from us while bowing like twenty times a second and it would be a lie if I said that didn't feel good
"I didn't know you had it in you," Claire said with a smug smile on her face which I wanted to slap away from her face, I would have thought if she weren't Damien's sister
"What?" I questioned
"Did you realize you just screamed at a quarter of my pack members?" she said and I almost shitted myself when I realized that truly these people aren't humans
"Oh my God," I said looking around which made her burst into a fit of laughter
"I guess you do things irrationally when you're angry," she said between fits of laughter making laugh with her
"And if I must say, it's always," she said hiccuping, I guess she chocked on her spit
"Common girl I wasn't aware, I totally forgot," I said smiling
"Well as you can see, showing them what you want and don't isn't so hard, they don't bite, they can't even if they want to, not when you are the mate of the most powerful man they know," she said with a wink and I smiled
Maybe I let her words enter my brain and fill me with some kind of power I don't know if I love, control over a bunch of mystical creatures who are much stronger than I am.
I like, no love the sound of it, it sounds so endearing, gorgeous, and dangerous
These people are not even looking scary, why should I be scared of them? They look more human than animals, no they look totally like humans so why should it be hard to live with them?
I am shocked as to how much I am growing accustomed to this place, I can't believe I'm already thinking of living with them and ruling over them like they said I would. This is the most absurd I've ever been.
"Back to where we were," I said remembering what we were saying, me going home and seeing more humans than werewolves, I've missed June and the rest, they would be so worried about me.
Wait a fucking moment, what the freaking fuck! I literally forgot about these people.
I can't believe I totally forgot about them, there must be a search going on for me right now, I mean common we're friends, they would all be worried about me right now.
What would Rebecca tell them about where I am? Wait a moment is she even the only werewolf in Cashville, this a so confusing but it's a matter for another time
Gosh I can't believe myself right now, I mean I disappeared from home, I didn't even finish the curfew and it's been like three days now since I left and I didn't even think about home and how these people would be so worried about me right now, this is practically the craziest thing I've ever come, this is just so silly, I mean common!
"Layla.." she started and I had to cut her off
"I have people who would be totally worried about me right now, the people in town, even if my friends and family think it's normal for me not to reply to them, these people wouldn't, I mean common isn't it weird a female disappeared during the curfew!" I said worrying about the people in town, what stress would they be going through right now? How the fuck did I forget these people? This is so bad on my side for real
"Don't worry about them, they are fine" she said and I halted in my movements. I wanted to slap her, so bad and hard but I didn't, why I don't know but I just didn't
"You know personally, you have a grand way of getting on people's nerves," I said blowing out steam
"That's what I'm practically known for," she said smiling and I found it so hard to contain myself that I have to move closer to her in a threatening stance
"Claire, why don't we stop this little shit," I said in a very low voice with a menacing face and I could see the surprise in her face and maybe a hint of shock
"Call your brother, tell him I want to go home right now, even if it's for just some hours, I'm sure Cashville is not far from here, I mean I literally walked here so it can't be that far so call your bro and tell him I want to go home and get some of my important stuff," I said with a finishing line, making sure to drop a full stop and hoping her next line of action would be to obey me and call her brother
"Layla" she started and that got me slightly mad, common is it that hard for you to do one little goddamned thing!
"I understand you but trust me it's not safe out there," she said and that got my attention
"Excuse me, I don't get you, it's not safe in a place I've been for over two weeks or what?" I asked, "Is there really a wild animal in that vicinity, I didn't see any when I went to the forest it was sighted so what's going on?" I asked trying somehow to think what the fuck isn't safe
"That not what I mean," she said and I huffed, it was just a mechanism to hold me down
"Common Claire, do I look daft to you, just call your bloody brother," I said between gritted teeth
"You are Damien's mate Layla, and I'm sure by now many people would have heard about you and in this computer age they would have tracked your identity, and trust me, there are many people after Damien that they wouldn't even think twice before going after you, now you going out of this pack's territory even to the slightest and closest place to here is a great danger not only to you but to our pack," she said as if she was exhausted
"What the hell" was all I could say to all she said, "are you telling me I'm in danger!" I said louder than intended and once again gained peoples attention
"I'm not telling you you're in danger, I'm just saying you are liable to danger," she said
"For fucks sake Claire that's literally the same thing!" I screamed getting a feeling I can't even explain
