B.A.D (7 page)

Maybe a little cuddling. I wonder if he
cuddles? Oh well, maybe he can go to his wolf form and keep me warm
- it's effing cold at night.

I'm going crazy,
I realized,
I must
be.

"Elaina?"

My thoughts were automatically stopped
when his warm breath blew across my ear when he said my name. I
shivered with pleasure.

I turned to look at him, he was close.
His forehead only inches away. His blues eyes looked different up
close - bluer with a smatter of gold flecks. It was hot.

I wasn't even going to try
and stop my mind from thinking about Rane - I might as well.
Besides,
I was going crazy,
right?

He sighed and the hot air blew onto my
face, his breath minty fresh.

"You're a werewolf," my voice came out
a whisper, awed. I wasn't scared anymore - my reason of thinking
saying that he could have easily killed me if he wanted to. His
eyes would have portrayed his thoughts, they would have betrayed
him if he has intent to kill me.

He sighs.

"I guess I have to tell you about
werewolves now, huh?"

Chapter 14

We make our way back to the house, I
stick close to Rane. I couldn't leave his side if I wanted to. I
really didn't want to leave it, anyway. He seemed to really care. I
wanted to take a chance, put my heart out there, for
once.

Also because a low growl would slip out
of his throat if I was to move more than three feet away. It wasn't
scary - it was actually sexy as all hell.

He didn't touch me though. I was a
little sad and somewhat relieved - more sad, I believe. I was sad
because I crave his touch - for whatever reason, I do. Maybe it was
a werewolf thing and because I was carrying his... pup?

I was relieved a little
because he
was
a
werewolf after all. I mean, I was pretty sure he wouldn't hurt me,
but it didn't change the fact that he could turn into a giant wolf
in 2.0 seconds.

When we arrived at the house, Rane's
parents stood on the back porch. Their faces stricken with
worry.

"Elaina! Thank god!" I had just stepped
out of the woods when I was almost tackled to the ground. Dainty
little arms encircle my waist as blue eyes peer up at me. She is
careful of my stomach as her arms tighten around me. "We were
worried about you, you just up and ran. I must say, you were pretty
fast too." A small smile came upon Jade's face as she looked at me.
She was maybe my height, give or take a half inch.

"Sorry," I whispered, the cold wind
blowing my hair. I realized then how cold it was, it was definitely
going to snow soon.

"It's okay," she finally let
me go and I saw Rane. His eyes were narrowed and he was watching
his mother
very
carefully. His body was tensed until she let me go, he finally
relaxed. I wasn't quite sure why he was like that, all she did was
hug me. She has a husband... and a child. Did he think she was
going lesbian or something? Like she would steal me
away?

I almost giggled at the thought. Right,
me and Rane's mother dating... Raising his and my baby
together...

Damn, I really am going
crazy. I should have my brain checked. Maybe a cat scan... what
does a cat scan do? Does it hur-

"Elaina?" I shook my thoughts away.
Rane was looking at me, his eyebrows furrowed in
concern.

"Hmmm?"

"I have been calling your name for a
while..."

"Oh, sorry." There was a silence after
that, until Jade broke it.

"Right! Why don't we go inside,
Elaina's probably freezing and she most likely has questions." I
nodded, I had goose bumps running along my arms and legs, even
under my coat and tights. Now thinking about it, my teeth started
to chatter. Rane moved closer to me, his arm slinging around
me.

He pulled me close and I was instantly
warm - must be a werewolf thing, he was like an inferno. I drew
closer to him, my heat source.

We were all seated on coaches in the
living room, me asking questions, Rane and Mr. Moore answering, and
Jade bustling around doing whatever.

"Soooo... Werewolves?" I had no idea
where to start my questioning.

"Ask a question and we answer." Mr.
Moore told me, I had no idea what his first name was. I nodded,
thinking.

"How does it all work? Like alphas and
everything."

"Good question," Mr. Moore answers.
"Think of it as a monarchy. The Alpha is at the top, like a king,
with his mate, the queen. Below that would be his two betas and
their family. After that would be enforcers, werewolves who protect
the pack the most. To be an enforcer, you don't have to have
special blood or even be male. You train to become an enforcer,
most of the time you start around the age of five. The rest of the
pack is after that, just common werewolves or retired
enforcers."

"You also have rogues who were exiled
from their home pack," he continues. "Lately, they have been
joining together to create their own pack. They shouldn't be
trusted, most of the time, without a pack, their wolves take over
or they go crazy. Especially if they haven't found their mate.
Being in a pack is important."

"What is a mate?"

"A mate is someone destined to be
together. Most find their mate and if you never do or yours dies,
then you can mate someone else, it just isn't as good. When you
mate, you will love that other person forever. There is no cheating
in the relationship. For a male, it's revolting to even think of
another girl in any way other than a friend. You are very loyal to
each other. There is a possibility of rejection but it has never
been used that we know of, basically a myth to most people." Mr.
Moore seems to be answering all the questions.

"So Rane has a mate?" I turn to look at
him and try to keep a blank face. I don't want to think about him
loving another girl. My heart was already breaking at the
thought.

"Yes, I do." Rane answers this one. I
can't look at him. Instead I look at my fingers, fidgeting in my
lap.

"Do you know her?" Rane
smiles.

"I do!" his voice was so damn happy and
yet my heart was breaking. I wasn't a werewolf, I didn't get the
possibility to be loved like a mate would to their mate.

"Oh." he moves closer but I try moving
farther away. I feel like crying.

"It's you."

"Oh." my eyes are wide as I say this. I
hadn't really considered what I'd do if I was his mate. "But... I'm
a human..." I was so confused.

"It has been recorded that a werewolf
be mated to a human." Mr. Moore again. I just nod. Ha, I am Rane's
mate. My heart soared.

"And you're all
mine
." the last word came
out more of a growl but damn it was sexy. He also pulled me closer
to him, wrapping his arm around my waist. I shivered, my body
heating up. I should have been scared, but I wasn't.

I heard a sigh come from Mr.
Moore. "It's already dark outside." I jerked my head to the living
room window. He was right, it was dark outside. "Babe!" he called
for Jade. It was kind of weird, to hear him call someone babe - I
mean, he was like...
old.

I heard a faint "yeah?" come from
somewhere down the hall.

"What time is it?"

"About 9:30!"

There they were, talking back and forth
as I slowly stood up.

"Where are you going?" Rane
stood also, his chest pressing against my back. My body was getting
heated -
again.

"Home. It's getting late." Rane frowned
as I replied.

I walked to the door and
opened it. Outside the ground was covered in snow. It was still
falling from the sky as I looked out. I
really
didn't want to go out
there.

"Elaina?" I closed the door, slightly
relieved now that I wasn't cold. I turned my head to Rane. "Do...
Do you want t-to s-stay the night? It's late and the roads... the
roads would be icy... a-and dangerous." That stuttering thing was
so cute. He bit his lower lip, automatically catching my
attention.

I don't remember what happened on the
night of the party but I wished I did. It was my first time, I at
least wanted to know if it was good, especially if a kid came along
with the package. I wonder if we could do it again? We probably
would, seeing as we're mates. I could feel my body heating up again
as I fantasized about being in bed with Rane. Yummy-

"Elaina?" My head jerked up
and out of my naughty thoughts. Rane had amusement clear in his
voice, a smirk on his lips. He seemed to know the direction of my
thoughts. I blushed like a kid who had his hand in the cookie
jar...
Mmmmm I hope it was Rane's cookie
jar-

What is with all of these
thoughts today?

I shook my head mentally and said,
"Hmmmm?"

"Are you.... going to.... stay?" he
said it slowly, as if to a kid. I frowned.

"I was zoning out. That doesn't mean I
am illiterate." I snapped to him. I winced afterwards. "Sorry, I'm
just all over the place today." I apologized to a very amused him.
He slowly walked towards me. I stepped back, right into the door.
His right hand rested above my head as his left went to my hip. I
gulped and looked up at him. His face drew close to mine, a hair's
breathe away. I wanted nothing more than to go up on my toes and
make our lips meet.

"Don't worry, you can make up for it
later." he all but purred. This was definitely a turn on. He came
closer-

"Do you need to contact your mother?"
this came from Jade, who was now standing at the kitchen doorway.
"Oh, sorry to interrupt, please keep on. Haha be safe, wear
protection..." she starts to walk back into the kitchen, we hear
her soft laughter as she walks away. "Oh wait, too late for
that..."

Chapter 15

Ever heard the saying "sleeping with
your mate ends in sexual frustration and a sleepless night"? Well I
haven't.

But damn it's true.

I am currently laying in the bed with a
sleeping Rane pressed against my side. His big (muscular, sexy,
hot...) arm wrapped around my waist. His - naked - chest and down
was pressed against my back. I pressed closer to see what kind of
reaction I would get and I was pleased.

His "not so little" friend was
currently straining against his boxers (the only thing he is
wearing). A low groan/growl was heard as his nose pressed into my
throat. The whole thing just left me all hot and
bothered.

How did I get into this position, you
ask?

Well after Rane's mother
walked off, Rane pulled me up the stairs. He lead me into a room
and I immediately said that I wasn't going to sleep in the room
with him, nonetheless in the same
bed
. He only growled and said that I
would.

Demanding? Hell yes.

I just turned my pretty little ass
around and walked out. I was walking through a random hallway,
trying to find a room to sleep in, when arms surrounded me, picking
me up. I automatically knew who they were from and I wanted him to
put me down.

He just flung me over his shoulders -
careful of my stomach - not even caring that I was hitting him. He
just carried on. He was only wearing boxers and I must admit - I
did have a great view. That ass - mmmm.

My thoughts have been so naughty
lately. I wonder why?

He flung me on the bed after kicking
the door closed and turning off the light. He jumped in afterwards
and immediately trapped me down with that big arm of his. His leg
also hooked around mine and I was stuck.

His face went to my neck and then he
was out - just like that. Then there was me, all hot and bothered
with the closeness, wide awake.

I turned over to see his face and his
arm pulled me closer. We were now chest to chest - well chest to
breasts.

I just stared at his face, how peaceful
and boyish he looked in his sleep.

I pressed closer, my hips involuntarily
rubbing against him. His eyes popped open. They stared down at me -
the blue getting darker and darker with lust. He sniffed and his
eyes went black.

Not a second after he groaned and his
lips came crashing down on mine. My body immediately reacted. I
wasn't quite sure why I was so horny but I was. My hands went
around his neck and I pulled him to me. My fingers ran through his
soft hair, gently pulling. He flipped us over so that he was on top
of me. I could feel his excitement with his "not so little
friend".

His body pressed into mine and my legs
spread, his hips coming into contact with mine. We both groaned
when he rubbed against me. He thrust his hips against me - clothing
on.

He bit my lip and I immediately opened
my mouth. His tongue shot through - dominating. Our tongues clashed
together and rubbed together like our bodies were. His hands were
everywhere - my hair, my body. I was still in just my dress and
tights, getting hotter by the minute.
