---- Book 1 Chapter 32 its teeth gleaming under the moonlight, sharp and pointy, threatening to rip my flesh to pieces. Cyrus had his arms out, like he was trying to herd me, and I darted off in the other direction only to be knocked to the ground from behind, knocking the air from my lungs as I hit the ground with an oomph. I froze, my blood running cold as I saw paws on either side of my face. As I tried to get up, a wet nose sniffed the back of my neck as it growled, making my hair stand on end, freezing me on the spot. I felt its tongue roll over my neck, and I spun, rolling on my back, wishing I had just remained on my stomach so I didn't see it as it killed me. Only it didnt attack, instead dropping, resting its body on mine and pressing its nose to my chin and sniffing me. Its black eyes were watching my face when Cyrus moved to stand above me. He patted the wolf, and it licked his wrist. Eli lets you up, you dont run, Cyrus said, watching me and my eyes snapped to the wolf in confusion, my eyebrows furrowing as 1t whined at me, nudging my cheek with its nose. The wolf is Eli, Addie. He is a werewolf, Cyrus said, and my brain was trying to function, trying to 25 ---- Book 1 Chapter 32 grasp the words that had just spewed from his mouth. Werewolf? My mind went to every horror movie I watched, and panic set in. Addie? Cyrus said as I felt my blood pressure spike, black dots dancing before my vision, threatening to engulf me in darkness. The wolf moved, nudging my hand with its nose, lifting 1t. My hand became frozen in the air as he rubbed his face in my palm, purring softly. His fur was soft and thick and so dark it almost looked blue under the moons light. He won't hurt you, Cyrus said, looking down at me before kneeling. He brushed the wolf's fur again before reaching for my hand, and I pulled it back before he gripped it gently. Sparks moved over my hand before he placed it on the wolf's neck, rubbing it up to his face. See? He won't harm you. We won't harm you, Cyrus whispered, and I felt his fur, the wolf leaning into my touch, when I heard that horrid sound again, my eyes snapping shut and my teeth aching from the noise before I felt the wolf moving above me. Only when I opened my eyes, Eli was staring down at me, my hand shaking as he grabbed it, kissing my 3/5 ---- Book 1 Chapter 32 knuckles. IT won't hurt you, Addie. You are ours, he said softly before kissing my lips, his hard body pressed to mine. Yet I didnt respond, my entire body tense at what I had just witnessed. Maybe this was a dream. Yet it felt so real, and the sound of my pulse beating in my ear made that not plausible. I want to go home, I told them. My voice sounded meek even to my own ears. We can't let you do that. Not now that you know, Eli whispered, pulling back. No, I won't say anything. Just let me leave. You don t have to kill me. I will forget it ever happened. Cyrus chuckled, making me look up at him. I know you won't tell, Addie, but it doesnt change anything. We won't be letting you go. You belong to us. Thats why Eli marked you. You were destined to be with us. Even if you don't feel it now, you will, he said, and my eyes darted to Eli. What? I asked, the only thing I could conjure up with my mind in shambles. 4/5 ---- Book 1 Chapter 32 We can explain, but please come inside. It is getting cold, Eli said before I felt his weight lift off me as he stood holding his hand out to me. I sat up, taking his hand, only to come face to face with his cock right in my face. I nearly choked on my own shock as I looked away, swallowing it. It was huge, like intimidatingly so. You can look. When I shift, my clothes get destroyed, which is a shame. I only just bought those pants, Eli said, still holding my hand as I looked up at him. He pulled me to my feet, wrapping his arm around my waist and pulling me against him. You seem okay, he said, staring at my face when I felt Cyrus's hands on my shoulders. She is in shock. It won't last long, he whispered, and I jumped when he kissed my neck. Come inside where it is warm. I will make you coffee, and we can talk, Cyrus said behind me before Eli tugged on my hand. I followed them, my eyes darting to my car. Don't even think about it. I have your keys, Cyrus whispered, placing his hand on my lower back. Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
