Date night

I waited for her to come outside. I was inside my car and I concentrated on her voices. I'm never more thankful for my abilities right now. I could hear her each step towards the exit believe me it was long. When she reached around my car I immediately opened my passenger door but she refused to get in, shaking her head. It made me smile. Suddenly rain poured in on her and she stood there annoyed. "Get in. You don't believe it was me who caused this. If you are stubborn about not getting in. Let me also  get out of the car so we could enjoy the rain", I said sarcastically. She moved around and got inside. I was relieved but she was really wet, her bangs now clinging to her face. Her moist lips slightly shivering. I wanted to

warm her with my body but I chose not to linger on them. "What is it ?", she asked without a preamble. "I want you to be careful. Those people were really dangerous. Don't take night shifts anymore ok?"I finished.

"I haven't seen them since. I will complain to the police if they bother me", she said willfully. I took a huge breath. " Leah please listen to me, those guys don't fear the law", I said frustrated. "Whose Leah. I'm Angela. I have to go ", she looked at me unsure. " You look like someone I know ", I hope I don't sound like those jackasses who say pick up lines you look like my dead wife. She looked down, rubbing her palms up. She does that when she is cold or when she is confused about something. "I have to go home ", she said in a small voice. "I can drop you", I said too fast. To my surprise she nodded her head. I drove just slow. I didn't want to scare her anymore. "What happened to your face "? She asked. "Nothing just messing with friends ", she might think me crazy but I won't lie to her. She looked outside and the moon was shining bright on us. What a tragedy, I thought. I must put an end to this if I didn't want to repeat the past. I have reached the building which was now an acceptable place for living.

"Your building looks good." I said. "Our new owner renovated it. She looked at me suspiciously. I gave her my most innocent expression. She hid a smile and turned away. "You think I'm a dangerous stalker ", I asked her. "Dangerous yes stalker no. Not if someone can stalk your dreams ", she said still looking away. "What dreams "?, I asked. "It features you mainly and some kind of wild wolves. I don't remember much in the morning ", she said. She took a deep sigh. "Are you afraid of me ", I asked. "I don't know you well enough to be afraid. I must go."She said. I opened her door and she got out. I too went out to see her at the door not  knowing what else could come up. We stood there feeling a sudden charge in the air locked our eyes. That's when my phone rang. I looked it up and it read Annabeth. Nice timing for her. She saved me from regretting it later. From her sad expression she too had read it. I have to go, I said. She didn't ask who. But it was clear to me as for her. It's better this way.

She moved away from me, her eyes showing sadness, " Thanks for saving me  in case I didn't see you again ". I nodded my head in response and without looking back I drove away. This is the best form of torture I could self inflict. See her but not touch her. My heart was broken many times before by her. I didn't know if she remembered everything that happened. From what I could gather she remembered only parts but that too scattered and in her dreams and I believed her. I didn't know why she could ever be disloyal towards me. There wasn't a thing she asked and I haven't given her. But I needed answers for that I have to remain in contact with her. If my beta and general knew what I was upto they might chain. There is also danger of me falling for her again.

I  was driving away from her when I saw a bike and a rider nearby who was unconscious but his heart rate was ok. But I decided to check anyway. He wasn't hurt. I could tell there was no blood. I stood before him. That's when I heard someone talking. It was quite far away to target us here. I concentrated and guessed by heart beats they might not be that far away, possibly snipers I need to get cover. I moved with lightning speed to get to cover.  But they managed to launch a bullet on me narrowly missing my heart . The searing pain struck me like a bolt. It was a silver bullet and if I stood there like an idiot more will come and the next one won't miss my heart. I climbed on the tree I took for cover and waited for them to go away but realized they are still tracking me so I checked upon myself and found my mobile. I quickly threw it away. There were many rounds of fire. I bit back pain the strain of sitting on the tree was causing me. I had two options: to find a telephone to inform my guys or find a safe spot. I chose the latter.

After a couple of hours I climbed down clumsily. I couldn't because my body was doing everything to keep me conscious so it had no energy to shift. Plus I don't think shifting with a bullet inside is a safe idea. It would be stuck inside me forever rendering me useless, changing me to good for nothing Alpha. I had no immediate places to hide except that one. I also doubt she is somehow behind all this. I have no option but go to her house. If she is indeed guilty then there was no reason for them to search her home and I will be safe. There are no two words about it. I dragged myself to walk and I managed to walk without a stop to her building my whole it took an excruciating 45 minutes and my throat was parched. I hated seeking asylum at her house but I have no choice. I knocked on her door. It took a while but I heard rustling and she opened the door. I was standing there, my shirt wet with my blood. She looked horrified seeing me and was about to scream. I put my palm on her mouth to shut her up. I pulled out my handgun, a Sprinfield XD 9 mm gift from my gun toting father. I carry it around just for fun. We wolves never cared for guns since we can heal quickly from gun wounds like scrapes or cuts but silver bullet is another story.

Her eyes went out of socket seeing me pointing a gun at her. "Why did you do this to me? Sending a silver bullet in my direction is not a great way to express your gratitude for saving your fucking life", I growled. "I didn't send anyone after you. I don't even know your name ", but in the last sentence her heart sped up. I caught her lying easily. After all she's a human. "Don't lie to me you know who I'm ", I told her. I could see her tears falling down but I had lost my sympathy for her. She's nothing but a conniving person.

"Alright I know your name and that you are a wolf but that's it you are making a mistake leave me alone. I don't know anything else about you ", she said with tears in her eyes. I wasn't going to believe her, not this time. "Then why did you lie to me?  ", I asked her. "I had dreams about you but they were unclear. Recently it started getting more clear. I got your name but I saw you changing into a wolf-like creature. But I thought you were my imagination. When I told my father he said I was crazy if I didn't stop he would put me in a mental institution. When I saw you I knew it was real and when I saw you lifting that guy with a single hand that's when I believed my dreams."

Maybe she's right, a small part of me said. But another part said to be careful if she didn't deceive me now she will do it later like always. I slowly pulled my gun down  but not my guard. I closed the door and put on deadlock. I staggered into her flea bitten sofa. She was poor her living condition was the proof. She was frozen afraid to do anything. "I won't be conscious for long so you have to hear me now. I was attacked on the way home. I'm sorry I doubted you but you have to help me. Don't take me to hospital it's of no use and dangerous. I want you to take  the bullet out if it remains inside me. I will die or worse maimed. Lastly you were right I'm a werewolf and the dreams were real too."

"I haven't done this before I'm afraid please don't make me do this ", she was begging to me. My mate is a weak human I didn't know why goddess made her that way a sick joke maybe. "It's alright I will guide if you can do this now ". My mind was slipping in and out of consciousness so I had to do this fast. "Bring towels,  clean knife, alcohol and hot water. Try removing it with the knife but it's better if you do this by hand ". She went out to fetch the things and I waited for her. She came with supplies. She said she will use her hands. But there was a slight tremor to her hands.

"Steady hands ", I barked at her. I wished I could remain conscious during the whole process but it's lucky if I live after this. She slowly put her fingers inside my wound I was biting down the pain.  I asked her to wait and pulled the scotch bottle and drank half of it then gave her permission to go ahead. I hated myself for being an idiot I know my people will be worried probably going to war for me with the neighboring tribes for vengeance. I need to get there  fast. She put her hands on my wound again and searched for bullet. "I can't find it", she said. "Look hard or do you want cut me open to find it", that made her shut up. But she gave me loathing looks. She looked like an angry cat. Atleast I dies with my mate loyal one or not.

"I got it ", she said suddenly. "Pull it out do you want an invitation ", I said. She gave me a muted look and with great care she removed it. I almost applauded her for her efforts but I didn't want her to get any ideas about us. " Now we are even I saved your life. Now you can go" , she said. I smirked at her, "Not that easy babe. Who will stitch me up"  , I said. Her eyes resembled two balls. " I don't want to stitch you up. Do it yourself ", she said. " You think I would ask you to do that if I can do it myself. Either do it and watch me bleed to death".

"I can't believe i Iet you into my life. You are crazy. After this promise me you won't come looking for me again", she said. I didn't know why she believed that I'm the one who kept  promises". "I promise you this will be the last time you are seeing me next morning itself I will go. Thanks for helping me". That was the last thing I remember about our conversation then I fell into deep sleep.
