Lou's POV:
We all turned our heads to face a grinning Ryan.
"That's a cute story you got there guys but it's gonna be for another time. It's getting late." He said firmly and with that Maya, Theo and Simon got up and were ready to leave.
"What the hell? No, I don't want them to leave! It's still seven!" I said while getting up in a protesting way, I just hope he'll let them stay for an hour or two!
"It's okay Lou, we're going to see you tomorrow don't worry. Oh and one more thing, run away run away make sure the coast's clear, the Alpha's near, the Alpha's near." Simon whispered in my ear, he whispered the last part in a sing song tone which caught my attention more.
What did he mean? Since when did he sing that ?
"What's that supposed to mean?" I voiced my thoughts.
"Nothing..." He said in an innocent voice while a grin was forming on his lips, but before I could question it again, he turned around and walked through the door.
"Protect the untouched Lou! Be aware tonight!" Maya whispered in my ear and smiled mischievously at me, making sure no one heard her, but judging from Theo's disgusted expression I wasn't the only one who heard.
Again, what does she mean?
'You have a horny boyfriend waiting to sleep with you, and last time I checked, he wasn't so calm when you ate that sausage...'
Oh...my...God...
As soon as they left, I turned to face the satisfaction that was plastered on Ryan's face.
"You're not gonna do anything to me..." I stuttered, fear laced with my voice. Why was I afraid you might ask? He's a werewolf, he's much stronger and can rape me.
His expression turned into one of worry but also disappointment.
"I thought I told you, I'm never going to hurt you Lorraine." His voice was so soft and deep, filled with honesty and sincerity. And as much as I tried not believing him and keeping my guards up, I just couldn't...
He meant what he said.
"I want to show you something." He said calmly and stretched his hand in front of him in a gesture to place my hand in his, but being the sassy dramatic girl I am, I brushed it off confidently.
"Fine then, let me guide you." Ryan continued after he saw that my attitude was rising back.
He started walking behind the stairs where there was an empty room. We entered the room, it was normal and completely empty except for the right wall that had a huge book shelve that was filled with books and the fireplace right next to it. I visited the room once before he blew me up with his truth about being a werewolf, the books in the bookcase were all about werewolves and sci-fi, not my type!
It was not suspicious back in the days, I thought that he was obsessed with werewolves and scientifical things, even mystical creatures. I thought it was his hobby.
"What do you want to show me?" I asked curiously as to why did he take me here.
"If you want to know more about us, werewolves, you have all the books in here." He said pointing at the bookcase.
"Don't worry, whenever I have a question I'll just ask you, it's much easier." I snapped at him as he shot me a glare. It was the first time he mentions this.
"Alright, but if you want to read anything else-" He preceded as he approached the side of the stony fireplace and pushed on one of the rocks. As soon as he pushed the bookcase pulled in front of us and settled at the right showing a secret room right behind it.
My mouth was wide open as I stared at the huge library hidden behind the bookshelf. All this time, all of this time it's been hidden and I find that out now?
"-you can find the book you want in here." Ryan finished his phrase as I placed my hand on my mouth in shock. He chuckled behind me and I could sense his breath wash over my neck.
"You like it?" He whispered in my ear very huskily, his lips made contact with my skin sending chills down my spine.
"Uhuh..." I managed to mumble as I stared at the loads of books in front of me.
"I'm glad." He smiled as he sat on the couch in the middle of the room.
The room was big, all the walls were covered by bookshelves, and right in the middle was a sitting area, made exclusively to sit and relax while enjoying a good book.
It was indeed magical.
The noise of the secret bookshelf closing caught my attention. I turned around and watched it shut itself. I started fumbling with the hem of my shirt seeing as it was the only way in and out, now that its closed we're gonna stay trapped in here forever.
Although I didn't mind judging by all the books that will keep me company.
'And Ryan...'
Yeah, and him...
Ryan noticed my panicked expression and started laughing.
"Don't worry Angel, we are not trapped." He said calmly knowing exactly what I was going to ask him. Getting up he made his way towards the bookcase and pressed the side of it as a little circle was pushed inside the wood.
"If you push this little wooden circle the bookcase will open like so." He said while the bookshelf was opening again.
A smile of relief made its way to my lips and Ryan gladly smiled back.
"Consider this library for you, my love." He whispered calmly before disappearing behind the now closing big bookcase, not even waiting to hear my thanks.
Was he serious? Oh my God! I feel like Belle in beauty and the beast.
'Funny because you're litterally living with a beast, the only difference from the movie is that you're ugly.' Many thanks to my reassuring conscience!
'I'm joking girl! You're fabulous!' You should be! I'm a miracle.
I made my way to one of the many bookcases and examined the books, so many genre and themes! Would it be too cliche if my favorite theme is romance?
'Right after comic books! Haaaa bitch you thought!'
I picked up a big rusty old book that caught my attention, it's cover was brown, no title on it, not even a word. I opened it and read the title out loud "Pirate Spirit."
Well, guess who's gonna become a pirate caught in a very beautiful yet dangerous adventure for a couple of days!
'Don't you dare say 'this girl' because you're a weak little damsel that's always in distress Lou!' Well that's comforting!
I watched all the Pirates of the Caribbean movies and loved them all. In other words, I loved pirates like no one does! And I've always wanted to be a mermaid, it's like, every girl's dream!
'To lure men into their deaths? definitely!' Yes and also be ridiculously gorgeous without any effort!
I took the book and headed to the couch, placing myself in a very relaxing position I opened the book and started reading, already engrossed in the story.
Arriving at the middle of the story, the part where it mostly gets exciting, I heard the bookcase open.
"Are you fucking kidding me?" I heard Ryan whine while approaching towards where I was sitting.
I didn't answer, still focused on the story.
"It's freaking two in the morning Lou!" He continued as he sat next to me and placed my legs on his lap. I didn't react since I wanted to read, but was it seriously two in the morning? Of course not, he's just playing me.
Was he not aware that I was busy at the moment?
Noticing that I was not giving him any attention he placed me between his legs, my back against his hard chest and buried his face in the crook of my neck, smelling my scent.
Still no reaction from me. Until he suddenly wrapped his arms around my waist and started pulling my shirt up.
I froze. My cheeks now burning and definitely redder than blood, I became slightly hotter and I sensed a drop of sweat trickling down the side of my forehead, but my sense was wrong because I never sweat, I was hallucinating because of him. I soon realised that I was aroused because of something poking my butt.
"Fuck, Lorraine." He whispered exasperately in my ear.
He proceeded on pulling my shirt up until I placed my hand on top of his and pulled my shirt down shamefully.
"If you don't come to bed right now, you'll regret it." He whispered huskily.
Say no more!
I jumped out of his grasp and pushed the wooden circle of the bookcase to open it feeling his muscular chest against my back. His breath fanning over my skin sending chills running down my spine.
He was incredibly close to me...
Why did I feel...intimidated but safe at the same time. And why did I feel attracted to his very messy appearance right now. it's like he just got out of bed.
The bookcase swiftly opened and I ran towards the bedroom, the book still in my hand and Ryan taking his sweet time.
I changed into my pajamas and noticed that the bed was a mess, like someone had already slept in it. My head suddenly turned to the clock on my night stand and a pang of guilt shot through me.
It was indeed two in the morning.
Ryan got on the bed and covered his lower body with the sheets while his bare chest was on display. He mumbled some things that I could not make out and turned to face me, his eyes barely open.
"Come." He said as he pulled the sheets on my side of the bed up and patted on the mattress. Following his order I climbed on the bed and lied down on the delicate mattress, he wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him under the sheets.
He was currently cradling my small body in his much bigger one, nuzzling his face in between my neck and shoulder and took a big whiff. His muscles relaxed against my body and he mumbled softly and huskily.
"You're so adorable Angel." Ryan said softly lulling me to sleep.
I woke up kind of late, it was noon and Ryan wasn't next to me. I slightly panicked missing his warm touch.
Wait what...
I finished preparing myself and wore some clothes. I headed downstairs towards the living room where all the noise was coming from. Maya, Theo and Simon were already here.
"What happened Lou? You died in your sleep?" Simon laughed as soon as he saw me descending the stairs very lazily.
I rubbed my eye as soon as I arrived in the living room receiving a pit of laughter from everyone.
"What are you laughing at?" I asked calmly. They all had this aww-you're-so-cute face, even Theo!
"We're laughing at you...What took you so long?" Maya asked as she came up to me and engulfed me in a tight hug. I wanted to answer but was interrupted by Ryan.
"She was reading till two in the morning. I really regret showing you the library Lorraine." He answered calmly as he sent me a playful glare. I pouted instead.
"Oh I see!" Maya sent me a knowingly smile and rubbed my back.
"I made you breakfast, it's in the fridge. Eat it and join us later okay?" She said softly. Despite her childish attitude sometimes, Maya would make a perfect mother some day, a caring, funny, smart and badass mother. Let's not forget a gorgeous one too!
"Thank you." I replied while making my way to the kitchen, now remembering my mom and all the times we spent together.
After I had finished eating, I sat on the couch next to Ryan, keeping a distance from him. I still didn't accept this mate bond thing, I don't think I ever will...
But unfortunately for me, Ryan had other plans. He came closer and wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me closer to him and made me lean my head on his shoulder. It was very relaxing, I cannot not appreciate it! I adjusted my position slightly as I leaned my upper body on his side while he watched me with adoration.
"I'm very comfortable right now, that's why I'm not protesting and pushing you away..." I said with a straight face so no one would think I've accepted us being mates so easily.
They all laughed and Ryan chuckled and his eyes sparkled a little when he smiled. God! That smile was making my insides melt!
Get a hold of yourself Lou!
He wrapped both arms around me and kissed my head gently. I never thought in my life that this level of comfort existed, but I guess I was wrong.
I noticed that Simon had a camera, its strap wrapped around his neck as he held the device carefully.
"Nice camera Simon." I said as he smiled at me. He wanted to thank me when he was abruptly interrupted by Theo.
"Yeah, too bad he doesn't know how to use it." He laughed. He was the only one that laughed but he soon shut up when Maya slapped his arm harshly.
Me and Ryan had a puzzled look on our faces while Simon had a sad expression. Was he seriously sad because he didn't know how to use a camera?
"What do you mean?" I asked Theo as he rubbed the area where Maya had just slapped him a second ago.
"Uhm..." He hesitated a bit before answering my question. "H-he only takes pictures of dead animals..." He stammered nervously while his mate was giving him a death glare.
"Leave the boy alone! He has his own taste. At least he's useful for something, not like you, a rude useless piece of fuck!" Maya snapped at him.
'Respect girl!'
What was wrong with them anyway?

Hello beautiful readers! How are you all doing?
I'm sorry for the long post guys, but I don't have an excuse, my only reason is that I'm very lazy these days and I need the courage to write more chapters. But hey, I'm enjoying the last days of summer before school starts!
Anyway, I have some characters in mind, not all of them yet though. I just need your opinion about making a cast's list or not. You can tell me if you don't want one, because I know basically all of you (even me) prefer to imagine the characters. So just tell me what you think.
Don't forget to vote and comment, if you want to! And tell me your ideas and advice. Thank you all for reading my story! I love you all so much!
-Your fabulous author.
P.S: I really want a relationship like Lou and Ryan! Don't we all want that?
But instead I'm a single little pringle, unloved by guys! I am not exaggerating, the guys see me as some kind of potato or something and are interested in my friends...
But who needs guys when you can be a super hot potato that burns every hand that touches me?! (bad pun intended)
Byeee!
