So after an explanation was made; it was chalked up to one big misunderstanding and a few pissed off faces.
Comes to find out, they thought I broke in and this guy named Antonio Seth attacked me by strangulation in my sleep which led to this other guy Steven knocking him away against a wall.
The guys were shocked that I wasn't there to harm any of them and even more so to learn my name.
I cried for a bit tho and kept repeating how Antonio tried to kill me.
A look of guilt crossed his features and he sheepishly apologized for hurting me; I receded into Jessie's body as much as I could.
I was reassured multiple times that I was safe but I'm still weary.
After all the mess calmed down some I noticed Jessie staring at me and I subconsciously squirmed under his stare. He tensed up his grip on me and flinched when I squirmed to which I blushed like a tomato when I felt his member beneath me semi hardened.
I internally cursed myself for that and tried to climb off of him only for his grip to tighten further.
I sat there in embarrassment while the others watched our behavior intently.
"Do you want to be with me forever? You know I'll let you...all you have to do is ask." He said softly.
At those words, one of the guys stormed out and the rest followed in pursuit.
I tried to get up but he held me firmly against him waiting for an answer.
"I don't know!" I exclaimed in a panic.
"I barely know you and just discovered that you're actually real. At least-" I again tried to push myself off of him but his hard stare made me gulp and stop trying.
"At least give me some time to figure everything out and get to know you outside of my dreams. All of this is too much and I'm not in the state of mind to make any rational decisions and...mmmphh!" Jessie's lips crashed against mine in a smoldering yet quick kiss.
"Shut up Helang. You're talking to much." He whispered fixing my messed up hair.
I sat there with a look of shock on my face before I smack him hard across his face. I burst out crying and run away while his face is holding a look of confusion and his mouth ajar; his hand still in the air where it was fixing my hair.
I run around the house looking for a way out before finding the front door, the guys are in the kitchen and spot me freaking out; I cry out anxiously as I try rattling the doorknob open.
"Open up you stupid door!" I yell out before pounding desperately on it. I sink down to the floor and start crying.
"I'm dreaming! I have to be dreaming. I'll wake up any moment and I'll be back in my bed with my mom yelling at me to wake up!" I continuously mumble to myself.
"Helang...." I hear a hesitant voice coo out.
I shake my head and cover my ears before I feel a small pinch in my arm.
I cry out in surprise before I fall over limply to the side after a couple moments. I stare accusingly at the blurry face above me.
My eyelids start to become heavy and I feel myself being picked up.
"Mommy...why do you hate me..?" I trail off; tears streaming down my face as my lids close and everything goes black.
.
.
.
I jolt up with a hard intake of air.
It's dark all around me.
"Where am I?" I quiver out to no one in particular.
"Are you ok?" I hear a soft spoken voice say and I nearly jump out of my skin.
My heart is beating too quickly.
"It's ok."
I stay quiet.
"Jessie?" I quiver out.
"Unfortunately not." I hear after a moment of silence.
My breathing picks up and becomes more rapid than before.
"Then...." Is all I can get out considering my throat is closing up and making it nearly impossible to speak.
"My name is Steven. I saw you trying to escape and I just thought you'd actually want to get away." He says calmly and with a hint of nervousness.
I swallow and nod my head.
"Why's it so dark?" I ask clutching what I'm assuming a blanket to my chest.
"Sorry about that. When I ran off with you, Jessie saw red; I figured you are uncomfortable with him. I've kinda been hiding you for close to an hour and a half." He finished sheepishly.
I gasp.
"What...what time is it?" I finally get out.
"I'd have to say maybe 8 or 9pm." He states with a who knows shrug.
I gulp hard and continue to hold the blanket to me.
"Thank you." I say quietly.
Silence.
"How did you two meet?" He quietly asks.
What do I say?
Before I fell asleep one day after a huge fight with my mom I impulsively drank some juice from my childhood in hopes it was poison and ended up in a forest where I came across a guy who looked sad and in desperate need of some company?
Yea I already think I look crazy enough in their eyes.
I dryly think to myself.
"It's a long story." I finally say.
More silence.
"May I ask about those scars?" He says quietly
"I don't want to talk about it!" I say too loud and a bit too quickly.
"Sssshh it's ok. If you're not comfortable talking about it, you don't need to tell me but keep in mind we are still hiding."
He urgently whispers out.
I quiet down and nod my head as my eyes finally adjust to the darkness.
"Sorr-."
"Helaaaang! Come back! Don't go; I need you in my life! Please!?"
I hear Jessie yell out. I start feeling bad about the whole situation cause I'm just hiding from him and chilling somewhere with this dude named Steven.
"Don't speak." Steven whispers, his breath close to my ear; I shiver at the warmth of his breath.
"Cold?" He asks quietly.
I nod my head but realized he probably can't see so I quietly tell him yea.
"NOOOOO!!"
I hear Jessie boom out in a desperate cry.
Shortly after I hear a wolf howl and I decide to stay quiet and take my chances indoors with Steven.
"I'm Helang." I say shyly.
"Steven. Would you like to get some rest?" He whispers.
I nod my head.
"There's only one bed..." I trail off with a sudden realization of horror.
.

.
Jessie looked for her for hours but I'm guessing he gave up.
I had to mask our scents and to be fair it wasn't too difficult.
She's so close to me.
She smells so amazing but she doesn't even realize I'm her mate.
It's driving me crazy.
She's driving me crazy...
She's sleeping but she doesn't exactly look at peace.
I want to know everything about her.
Where she came from, her parents, favorite color, her fears, ambitions... so much.
I know I can't do anything even if I wanted to.
Jessie is making sure of that.
I only have however long she wants to hide before he becomes possessive over her.
My. Mate.
Mine.
I gulp and decide to pull her close to me while she continues to sleep.
She stirred a little and sharply inhaled from her nose before burrowing herself into my body.
My breathing picked up it's pace as her scent fills my very being.
Staying away from her is going to be difficult...
