Lizzie Damn! This was not how I wanted this to go! Why was I such a mess. Evan had held me while I cried and the sparks running along my body were amazing! His calm presence helped me calm down and I was able to back up from him and sit back on my blanket. “I am sorry about that, no matter how long has passed it is still so painful to talk about.” Evan looked at me with sympathy. He didn’t look angry and that was a huge relief. I just needed him to understand that I chose this for a reason and that I could never go back to my pack. My stepfather was a brutal man who would kill me. I looked up at Evan and asked, “do you want to come back to my room for some coffee and I can share the rest with you?” Evan kindly said, “yes, that sounds like a good plan.” As we walked back to my room, I kept sneaking glances at him. He was so tall, he towered over me. Shay was purring in my head contentedly, just having him near she was happy. I didn’t know how this was going to work bu
Evan I looked up from my hands at the most beautiful woman and I was so broken. What can I do but tell her the truth and hope she understands why. “Lizzie thank you so much for telling me all of that. I know that wasn’t easy! I want to explain to you why I stormed out when I first met you. I want you to understand why…” I let my voice trail off. How will I find the words? Andre is still pacing in my mind. “Just tell her. She told you what you wanted to know now don’t be a chicken shit!”. “Wow dude harsh! This is harder than it looks!” I almost screamed at him out loud but caught myself in time. Lizzie was so patient as I fought with her and tried to find a way to tell her. I took a deep breath and started again, “This is hard for me to talk about, and I want to give you the same respect you showed me by sharing your story.” She reached across the space between us and put her hand on mine. The sparks between us ignited across my skin! I wanted to pull her close and hold
Lizzie I felt trapped in the blankets. I was trying to break free in my sleep but couldn’t get the massive invisible weight off of me. My eyes popped open, and it took me a solid minute to figure out what was going on. Evan was laying across me, his giant arms and legs somehow had wrapped around me while we slept, and I was trapped. I needed coffee but I couldn’t get him off me. Shay was rolling around in my head laughing at me, “he is like an octopus! How did he get wrapped around you like that!” As she fell over in my head from giggling, I smiled and rolled my eyes. I am glad she is happy but at this moment I really needed to pee and get a very strong cup of coffee. I finally managed to slide off the bed and out of his reach, when I did, he rolled over and was back asleep. How did men always sleep so soundly! I got up as quietly as I could and went into the bathroom. After I washed my hands, I looked in the mirror to see what kind of state I was in. We had spent the
Lizzie It really isn’t fair that he is this sexy, he came out of the shower with his hair a mess and wet and I really had to control myself not to jump him right then and there. Ok I need to focus. We have to figure out how this is going to work!! I handed Evan his coffee and sat on the edge of the bed. “So how did you sleep?” I cocked my head to the side and looked at him, trying to decide if I should tell him how he had tried to suffocate me while he slept. He took a big sip and said, “I slept the best I have in months.” He had a big goofy grin on his face and I couldn’t help myself, “yea I bet, you tried to squish me under your giant limbs! I narrowly escaped with my life!” I smiled back at him and waited to see what he would do. He set his coffee down on the dresser and purposefully walked over to me. Took my coffee and set it on the floor, then put his hands on either side of me. He pulled his face so close to mine and whispered, “if you want me to squish you then I can.” I look
Evan As soon as I was on the road home and had time to clear my head, I opened the pack link so that I could let Seth know that I needed to talk to him. Before I even had time to think my dads voice came in loud and clear WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN EVAN! GET YOUR ASS HOME NOW! I shook my head and knew I was in for it when I got home, I mind linked him back, Dad I am on my way home now, I should be there in about an hour or so. I went to the beach for the weekend to check out. I could feel his anger coming through the link, I DON’T CARE WHY YOU WENT! WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY HERE AND NO ONE COULD GET AHOLD OF YOU! COME SEE ME THE MINUTE YOU GET HERE! He shut the mind links down after that and I tried to link Seth to find out what was going on but I couldn’t reach him. What the hell was going on at home. I hit the pedal and got home 45 minutes later. As I walked into the pack house there was chaos everywhere. Injured wolves were being treated in the living room and kitchen. I picked up
Lizzie The drive home was a mix of emotions. I missed having Evan near me but I also knew we needed time to figure everything out. The guys were hopefully going to help me figure all of this out, I really didn’t even know where to begin. I pulled up in front of the apartment and something felt off. I could sense Shay walking around and on edge. What is it? What are you feeling? She was a mess, “I don’t know. I sense several wolves are near by.” Okay, we know that rogues live around here, do you think it is someone new moving in? “No these aren’t rogues. Lizzie behind you! I turned around and before I could even raise a hand or scream I was being tackled and shoved into a van. Something hard hit me in the head and the world started to spin. Shay what is going on? She screamed at me to wake up but I couldn’t the world was all black and I couldn’t feel Shay anymore, I was floating in nothingness. Evan I pulled up to her building and saw her car out front. The trunk was open and all of
Lizzie I knew I couldn’t stay; it was only two weeks till my birthday, but I knew it wasn’t safe for me to stay at the group home once my wolf woke up. I was a rouge and as much as I wanted to stay and graduate, I just couldn’t. I wouldn’t put the other girls at risk, the group home had been my home for the last two years. If the local pack found me, they wouldn’t stop till they had killed me. They hated all rogues and hunted them down. So, I started to put my plan into action. I had been saving every penny since I started working at 15. Becky had taken a chance hiring me and I had found a family of sorts working with the staff of The Coffee Bean. Becky always made sure I had a full stomach, she never let me leave without taking food along. I had no idea what I was going to do without Becky and John. I needed to let her know I was leaving. I know I was going to miss her for the rest of my life! I only had two weeks left till my life turned upside down again! Two week
LizzieI walked my bike up to the bus station and put it in the bike rack, I knew I couldn’t keep riding all the way there and would need to spend some of my limited money on a bus ticket. The ticket window opened at 6am and it was only 5:30 so I had some time to kill before I could get a ticket and get as far away as possible. I pulled out my favorite book The Count of Monte Cristo and picked a page at random and started reading. I could start anywhere in this book and know exactly what was happening. The book was falling apart and taped in so many places I couldn’t even see the front cover anymore, it was an old friend, and it gave me so much comfort. Shay was just beginning to stir in my mind and came forward to see what was going on. I gave her the simple storyline of my book and we talked about the different characters and how the main character was treated so unfairly. As we continued to get to know each other the bus station lights popped on and I knew it was time to get out of
