I see him drive off and I decide to watch cartoons in the living room. I don't want to leave Nick alone in case he wakes up and ends up breaking something.
After around 30 minutes of watching cartoons, I hear Nick groan. I look at him and his eyes are twitching, I think he's waking up.
I sit next to him waiting for him to open his eyes and after a couple of seconds, he does. His arm flies to my throat and squeezes putting pressure on it. It hurts but I can still breathe. He sits up while still holding my throat and wildly looks around the room.
The wolf is also looking around, I don't think he noticed is me either. At this point my throat is itchy, I really want him to move his hand from my neck, it's getting annoying.
I hear a crack and I notice the windows are cracking and the table is shaking. I know it's Blacky, he's angry it seems, but why?
"HE BETTER LET GO OF YOU FAST OR I WILL KILL HIM! I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY ALLIE! I'M NOT STOPPING THIS TIME" Blacky shouts… Is he angry because Nick is holding my throat? Why? It's annoying but it's not the worse I lived through.
"N…ick" I say, my voice sounds muffle and hoarse. Apparently, he's squeezing harder than I thought. He better let go fast or I will really have to dig a hole soon.
He turns to me so fast I fear he's going to crack his neck and his eyes finally focus on me, he let go of me as if I have the plague. I cough, I can't help it, the release of pressure does this.
"ah… aaaah aaaaaaaah~" I test my voice and it sounds good, I turn my neck side to side and nothing cracks, I don't think I'm injured.
"Alice! I'm sorry! I…" he looks around again in confusion "… where am I?" he finally asks. The wolf on the other hand is just shouting apology after apology, it's getting repetitive.
"Home, you're in my home" I answer. His face seemed to be asking why he was here, but I don't care what he wants to know, I just want him out of here.
"My dad called yours, someone should be here to pick you up soon" I say and I get up. My throat burns so I rub it to soothe the pain.
"Does it hurt?" Nick says worry "I'm sorry Alice, I didn't mean to" he says while walking closer to me. I take a couple of steps back trying to keep him at a comfortable distance, but I don't think he's taking the hint.
"Don't walk away from me!" he snarls, the wolf also seemed annoyed at me for taking my distance.
I really don't understand what his problem is "but I don't want to be close to you" I say calmly while tilting my head.
"You're mine! You don't have the right to step away!" he says while walking closer and closer. I keep taking steps back, but I end up hitting a wall… literally.
He places his hands on each side of my face. He's towering over me and lowers his head to place it on top of my head, I hear him sniff my hair. This guy is a straight-up psychopath and I'm getting tired of dealing with him.
"Look at me!" he demands in a voice full of narcissism. Why the hell does he sound so confident in someone else's house? I helped him and I'm getting paid with his bullshit. This is annoying.
"I belong to no one but myself and I don't want to look at you" I explain with my monotonic voice. I should've listened to my guts and stayed asleep.
The wolf looks hurt but that feeling is quickly replaced by anger "Mate is ours! Mate is mine! You belong to us!" the wolf practically howls.
Nick roughly cups my face with one hand and forces me to look up, I don't put on a fight, he's stronger, and I don't want to get hurt needlessly.
"I know you saw me yesterday; you saw what I am" he says. His face is burdensomely close, I really hoped he didn't see me at all yesterday, but I guess life can't be the way we want it "what I want to know is… how? How could we escape from those rogues?".
I tilt my head in tired amusement "I don't know what you're talking about" I say calmly while staring directly into his eyes. Looking up at him is making my neck hurt, why is this guy so annoyingly tall?
"Don't lie, Alice. I'm not stupid! You saw me!" he says while getting his face closer. I played the fool again; I refuse to deal with this shit.
"Maybe you need to look again to remember" he says cockily, and his eyes start to shine golden. His face starts to morph and I hear bones cracking but before he can continue whatever the fuck he's doing we hear the ring bell outside the house.
"Nick, can you let go of me? I need to answer the door" I say once he stops contorting (?) his face.
Nick and the wolf are both looking at me surprised, I think shock is more accurate. He takes a couple of steps back "Why aren't you scared?" Nick says bewildered.
"…" did I have to be scared? I should probably fake it "aaaaaaaaah~ oooh noooo~ a… monster? Is in my house~" I say dramatically, I think my robotic voice is not helping in making this more convincing.
He starts laughing, I think that's the first easy-going laugh I hear from him, the ones I heard before were always cocky. The laugher is nice, too bad he's still an ass.
I start walking towards the door and open it calmly. Nick's dad is here, and so is Dylan. "Dad, Dylan" Nick says and they both… bow? I look back and he's behind me. I have to say, for a tall guy… he's sneaky. I didn't even hear him walking.
"You were spending the night with your mate!? Dude! We were crazy worried! If you were fucking, you could've told us!" Dylan says angrily. I stare at him, fucking?… does Dylan think Nick was fucking my dad? That would be awfully uncomfortable.
"My dad is not into guys" I explain, I dislike misunderstandings.
Dylan and Raymond (Nick's dad) look at me surprise, Dylan even burst out laughing. I'm confused.
"How the hell did you make that connection!?" Dylan shouts in between laughter.
"Don't laugh at your Luna" Nick says threateningly. Luna? The hell does that mean? Are they talking about the moon?
"Wait… you told her? She knows?" Raymond says slowly and I tilt my head. I'm confused about where is this conversation going.
"…she knows what we are but not the whole story, she saw me fighting the rogues yesterday" Nick says slowly. I know I'm not going to enjoy this conversation so I decided to ignore this whole ordeal.
I start walking inside the house and place myself behind Nick. I place my hands in his back and I feel him shiver. Is he cold?
"Mate is touching us! Mate is touching us!! Take her with us! Take her! She'll be happy with us!" the wolf shouts happily while wagging his tail. I chuckle, that was really cute.
I start walking while pushing Nick out of the house, I think he's happy because he puts no resistance.
Once his body is out I start talking "I would love to say this was a nice meeting but it was just annoying and uncomfortable, I don't want to see you and if possible I will appreciate it if you avoid meeting with me as much as possible" I start explaining.
"Have a good day and please stay away as much as you can" I finally say and close the door, Nick looks at me surprised while I do it.
Finally, peace and quiet. Time to continue watching my cartoons.
