Lou's POV:
Yes, I ran away, best thing I could do right now...
This forest was huge, where was I anyway? I had to find my house.
I took the phone in my hand and opened it, still running, not paying attention to where I was going I tripped on a rock and fell on my stomach. What's wrong with me and these injuries I get everytime...from running away from wolves.
I picked myself up and continued going this time slower, I dialed my dad's number but he didn't pick up, so I called my brother.
"Lou! Oh my god! We got so worried, it's been a week and we haven't heard anything from you, what happened? Is there a problem ?" His voice, oh his sweet voice! I missed him so much...I started crying.
"Oh God! How much I missed you. You don't know what happened to me these past few days! You won't believe it but..." Something was wrong, I couldn't reveal Ryan's secret, even if he was a monster. What was wrong with me, why couldn't I tell Ray the truth?
I decided to not tell anything, thinking that Ryan would forget about me after I run away and find my house, the problem is, he knew where my house was. I had to hide in someone else's house and wait till Ray and dad arrive, so we could find a better house or better even, travel to another country. But how can I tell them everything when they come back?
"Hello? Are you still there...Lou?" Ray's voice beamed through my ear, interrupting my thoughts.
"Yes...Uhm. Well you see, my phone fell in the bathroom toilet when I used it there, I bought a new one, so...Uhm it still needs reparation and all and I lost all my contacts, that's why I couldn't speak with you guys."Â What the hell Lou? Seriously? Fell in the toilet seat?
'Usually your thunder thighs would catch it and he knows this but whatever.' Thank you Lou for the encouragement.
"Hah! I told you to leave your phone outside when you want to shit, but noooo, miss Lorraine here thinks she can handle it and prevent it from falling with the help of her super fat thighs."
"What the hell Ray! That's disgusting! I can't believe... You know what, forget it okay? I still can't believe I missed you like a minute ago. I hope you stay there forever!" I said sarcastically which made him laugh.
"I hope so too, that way I won't have to see your stupid face again." I could legit see his grin while he said this sentence, I was pretty sure he missed me but didn't want to admit it, being tough and all...
"Where is dad anyway?" I asked him curious to where my dad was.
"Fixing aunt Claire's sink, you know how her kids always damage it." He said chuckling. My cousins oh I miss those guys, especially Kevin!
Kevin is aunt Claire's oldest son, he's nineteen years old and he just loves me so much, he always wished he had me as his sister instead of his two annoying little twin brothers Alex and Jake. I really miss him a lot.
"Tell dad and everyone I said hi. I really miss you guys." I said, completely forgetting about my escape and Ryan, I was now standing in the middle of nowhere, smiling stupidly while talking on the phone.
'Way to go Lou!'
"Yeah yeah, whatever...The people here miss you too but I surely don't..."I laughed at his disgusted reaction.
"I'll haunt you forever bruh!" I said chuckling which made him laugh.
"Alright I gotta go shrimp, bye."
"by-" I was about to continue but the phone battery died. WHY DIDN'T I CALL THE POLICE INSTEAD ? Oh my god, I'm in so much shit right now.
But God! how I missed them. A part of me wished I traveled with them, so that I would have never met Ryan. But another part of me was relieved I didn't fly away because I met him.
'Good organisation of your priorities sister!' Oh shut up, I had time to panic but it wasn't now, besides it was still twelve, I have four more hours until he finds out I'm missing.
Wasn't I just running away from him? I suddenly remembered that I was escaping him for a reason, and continued running to the direction of nowhere.
After a while of just running basically everywhere, I found a little pond. How big is this forest? What am I going to find now? A castle? Was I even still in the same country?
I started thinking that Ryan might have kidnapped me and flew away with me...
I approached the pond and sat on the borders while looking at my reflection in the dirty water. It was the same pale girl, with no colors on her face, her hair was greasy, I really need to take a shower...I thought to myself before proceeding on examining my reflection.
The same girl but now hopeless, with no friends, no house, escaping from a werewolf... The girl with sadly a flat chest, big thighs and cellulite somewhere on her legs and butt. My figure was small, I was seventeen yes but my body was still the body of a twelve year old girl, small and curvy-less. What was I saying? I also had a baby face, that's why people thought I was a kid, but there are fourteen year old girls looking like they're eighteen! With the body and everything! Why couldn't I be pretty like them?
I was the definition of imperfect and the synonym of ugly, I hated myself, no one would fall in love with me, I was going to stay single my whole life, with probably a hundred cats, and drinking wine while laughing at some old pictures of me and how I ruined my life...
I remembered all the memories I had before all this happened, how I ended my friendship now that I needed it the most, I needed a person to stay at his house for the rest of the summer to get away from Ryan until my family comes back. I didn't have anyone now back in town! Oh wait, what about Mrs. Carter? The librarian of my school. She cared for me didn't she? I took my phone out until I realized it was already dead.
"I'm the dead one, not you, stupid phone." I whispered as I pulled up my legs to my chest and circled my arms around them, resting my head between my knees. When I'm alone I tend to speak to myself, I'm not crazy I swear.
I lifted my head up and frowned at my reflection and took a bottle of water from my bag, opening it and drinking a little. I stayed there admiring the view for a little bit before standing up and continued walking wherever God planned for me to go, and I was also tired from all that running so I'm basically not going to go too far from here.
A lot of hours have passed, and it was getting late, so I decided to find a tree and sleep on one of it's branches. I searched for one that had thick branches and climbed it finding the perfect spot to sleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Soft hands were wrapped around my body, soft warm hands that made my body relax but still a shot of tingles sparked through my body in a satisfying way. Wait a minute, there were no hands before? These obviously aren't mine!
I suddenly opened my eyes, seeing the most sexy face ever in front of me, Ryan was the owner of these extremely warm hands. I noticed his bare chest, oh god! His muscles, strong delicious muscles and abs, wait what?
Realization hit me, I wasn't dreaming no, not one of those wet dreams at least. Everything that was happening right now was real and all I could do was scream. He was the reason I escaped, so why did I feel relaxed when I saw his face?
I started to trash around hoping he would let go of me and it worked. But I fell on my leg and hurt myself...Again...I tried to escape but two wolves cornered me, making me press my back on the trunk of a tree...A tree! My savior!
I started climbing the tree when two hands circled my waist and sparks flowed in my body, they pushed me slightly down and that's when I fell in his arms. The devil's arms.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I can't believe he found me, Ryan found me, while I was escaping from him. This monster, this beast, this werewolf.
'Still, he had pretty delicious abs and these muscular arms that you felt protected whenever he wrapped them around you.' Lou...Focus!
I was currently thrown over his shoulder staring at the ground and trying my best not to look at his butt, he had a cute butt, one bigger than mine. Everything in him was big so I wouldn't be surprised if his butt surpassed mine. God why was I so unsatisfying...
'Is that even a word Lou?' I don't know!
My future boyfriend, if I ever find one, would not be satisfied at all. My hideous body would repulse anyone who would want to be with me and will soon regret it and leave...
Yes, that's how much I wasn't confident and hated myself. I always saw the negative in me, well can you blame me when the only positive thing was that I liked reading? Speaking of reading, it's been awhile since I haven't read a book, and I was going crazy!
'Lou, what the hell are you doing? Focus on your situation!' I forced myself to remember the case I was currently in, and yes, I did see him fully naked. I was shocked that a beautiful creature like him even existed in this world.
A part of me was damn happy that Ryan was my 'mate', seeing how he had the body of a Greek god I considered myself lucky as I could show him off in front of all the girls. The other part of me was freaking out right now, proclaiming I was his mate? Oh hell no buddy, I'm not your property, nor am I going to spend my life with a werewolf...And there was a third part in me that was actually sad because Ryan didn't choose by his own will to fall in love with me, it's because of some moon goddess that mated us apparently.
How many parts did I have in me? I thought there was only two. Turns out there's more, and that's all because I was overthinking the situation.
WELL I SHOULD OVERTHINK IT! HE'S A FREAKING WEREWOLF, A CREATURE THAT ISN'T SUPPOSED TO EXIST! I SHOULD GET, AT LEAST, SLIGHTLY WORRIED ABOUT THE CONSEQUENCES THAT MIGHT HAPPEN.
The walk back to his house was quiet. I wouldn't dare say a word after he shouted at me for talking trash about myself, even though I was only stating the obvious...
We soon arrived and it was about nine pm, he entered the house, and put me down on the sofa very carefully. He rushed to the door and locked it, he did the same to every window, well I wasn't planning on giving up. I was going to try and escape, just not yet...
I stood up slowly, and headed to 'my room', he turned around and looked at me suspiciously.
"You're going to sleep in my bed tonight, that way I know you won't escape."
Wow creepy much? Keeping me a hostage now Ryan?
'And a sex slave I hope.' No I don't, shut up!
"You wish..." I mumbled, regretting my actions because he heard me, of course he did, he has like a super good hearing now since he's a wolf.
"You're going to do so." He said with his Alpha tone, while taking some boxers and finally wearing them.
"You can't keep me forever." I said rolling my eyes and crossing my hands over my chest.
'Ouh Lou, your attitude is reaching the surface again, watch out from the big black wolf...' Stop teasing, the only attitude you'll see is the one directed at you.
"Watch me." He said furrowing his brows together.
"Yeah whatever, I'm gonna take a shower." I said as I entered my room and took a towel.
I soon entered the bathroom and showered quickly. When I finished I wrapped myself in the towel but realized that I hadn't brought any underwear with me, nor any clothes, I didn't have any clothes. How stupid can I be? I wasn't focusing at all...
I opened the bathroom door a little bit, making sure that the coast was clear, when I saw no sign of Ryan I walked out towards my room but froze when I heard a door opening behind me, and a huge growl after that.
