“Are you waiting for me?" Mia purred in her most sensual voice. As soon as her scent hit me, I covered myself with the sleeping bag.
“No, Mia. What are you doing here?"
“I saw that slut leaving...." She trailed off, walking toward the window. Mia wanted me to see and admire her body in that tight red dress she was wearing. Mia knew how to showcase herself. Her personality put me off. Mia had been hitting on me since forever. We hooked up once when we both were sixteen, and she kept trying to make me her official boyfriend since. Not that it stopped her from fucking everything that was moving.
“Don’t talk that way about her."
My voice was deep and menacing. I sounded as if I was ready to rip her to pieces.
“Is that your hot button? We all see you drooling over the mutt since she joined the Shifter Nation pack. You’re an embarrassment. We all hope now that you fucked her, you’re going to snap out of your funk."
“Mia, if you were a male, I’d rip you apart. The only thing that is saving you is that you’re a female and that there are so few of you."
Mia turned toward me, snarling.
“What do you want, Mia?"
“What do I want? What do I want? I want you to understand that it’s time to see that I’m your future mate and that you should stop running after this crazy bitch. She’s different. She’s not like us. Snap out of it."
Before I had the chance to reply, Mia walked out of the attic and hit the door in her wake. She just assumed that she would be my mate. She wasn’t. We were together in wolf form, and our wolves didn’t recognize the mating bond because there wasn’t any mating bond between us.
My stomach grumbled. I was sick of this party.
The balcony stretched over the small creek. I walked out, allowing the moon to shine on me and warm my soul. The moonlight has a way of calming my crazy heart. I was still naked and jumped into the lake. A few strokes later, I found myself in the middle of the lake. My mind was troubled. Scarlett turned my world upside down. When I reached the other side of the lake, I shifted and became the dark wolf. The forest was wide open in front of me. I ran. The way the beast took over me was wonderful. It was just me and the forest, the scents, the moon, the trees, nature.
Each time I shift into my wolf, I understand nature differently. Life is simple for a wolf. The wolf is hungry, horny, and tired, that’s all. When he is tired, he sleeps. When horny, he fucks. When hungry, he eats. My stomach growled the moment I picked up the trace of a rabbit. The scent of the tiny creature made my mouth water. My tongue hung out, and I sniffed the ground. My body took over. It was easy to lose myself in the beast and forget about everything.
The next thing I remember was that I chewed on the poor bunny.
Each time I hunt and eat my prey, I allow my beast to take over and forget all about it. The beast needed the hunt, the thrill, the meat, and the spilling of blood and crunch of bones and tendons.
Scarlett flashed in front of me. She was so much of a loner, free and independent. She would always run alone, never with us. Not that I blamed her. The girls in the pack would throw her nasty looks, and all the guys wanted to nail her sweet ass. Still, if she would never run with the pack, she would never bond with us. I didn’t even know when the beauty was running alone. I never felt her around.
Weird.
