"Tell me someone else’s scent can be like a drug to you" he said huskily before he reached and let his fingers trail under my shirt onto my bare skin as I shivered
"Tell me you feel the same tingles when someone else touches you ." he raised his head and I could see his eyes were also black
He reached for my wrist and raised it to his mouth, planting a soft kiss right above my hammering pulse "Tell me someone else can cause your heart to beat this fast" he demanded and planted another kiss on my wrist. "i’m waiting Lily."
"it’s the mate thing" I stated cursing myself for the tone of my voice "nothing else"
Ethan smirked and kissed my cheek, lingering to whisper in my ear "you’re shivering"
I tried to seem nonchalant as I shrugged "it’s been a hectic day, it’s no surprise the adrenaline of it all is coming back to me"
"I don’t think I believe you" he said, his eyes so much carrying need, lust that I looked away.
"I’m not asking you to believe me" I said "I only came here to thank you Ethan for helping my boyfriend." I emphasized the word ’boyfriend’
He made me look up at him,his lips inches from mine I panicked that he’d kiss me
"I’m going to let you leave now Lily" he said, his breath warm against my face "no matter how much I want to kiss you" he pulled away, his fists clenched in attempt to control himself "But our first kiss won’t be . It won’t be forced, it will be when you’ve finally accepted me, and I sure as hell won’t hesitate then"
I didn’t answer him as I nodded and went out the door as fast as I could. Trying to ignore my wolf, and worse; my heart telling me to go back.
"Lily" Ren’s mom stopped me "I wanted to talk to you"
"Is Xavier okay?" I asked worriedly, she shook her head
"he’s fine but I wanted to tell you I found a substance in Xavier’s blood. It’s powerful, the reason he couldn’t communicate with his pack. If I could only remember it’s name--"
"Lycotine" I said in surprise. I knew that substance I’d used it before on my knives "Assholes. He did tell me something was wrong with the scent of the air" I shook my head "if they would have injected it instead of using it in gaseous form he wouldn’t have been able to even change wolf."
"I know." Ren’s mom said, her face grim
"Those rogues are getting more dangerous by the second." I stated angrily "Well they’re not the only ones that can play this game"
I started walking to my room, bumping into Jacob on the way who eyes me suspiciously.
"Where are you going?" he asked me
"To make some fucking weapons" I answered him and went to my room, slamming the door behind me. They wanted to play with toys? Sure, BRING IT ON!!!!
"Finally out of your room I see" Jacob said giving me a disapproving look, I grinned shyly and nodded
"Well, at least I’m done" I said and he chuckled and shook his head
"What did you come up with this time"
I motioned for him to follow me to my room and got a box from my dresser, I opened it and took out some darts.
"Sleeping darts" I stated "easily shot and once they hit any wolf he’ll just fall and black out. It helps for interrogation"
"nice" Jacob said taking the dart from me and examining it
"Okay now these" I pulled out a small bottle and smiled smugly "You know lycotine? their new toy? well one small sip of this and it wouldn’t work on you. Let’s see how smart they are now"
Jacob’s face brightened and I smirked but then glanced at the table
"And these" I said a bit hesitantly "Are maybe too harsh but I was just so mad" I took out the bullets and fingered them "pierce right through the skin, clean shot, and then...well...it gives you about five minutes before you black out and then you’d be in terrible pain, for days while unconscious and you wouldn’t be able to wake up as each organ gradually fails and...you die"
Jacob’s eyes widened "Wow" he said "remind me never to mess with you" I laughed and shook my head.
I walked downstairs and was greeted by a guilty looking Whitney
"Something wrong?" I asked her and she motioned for me to follow her out. Once we were alone she turned to me Official source is novel(ꜰ)ire.net
"Look You’ve helped me so I owe you this. I’m sorry but I lied to you. Ethan never told me you were his mate I figured it out after I attacked you" she winced "that was low of me. And he hasn’t slept with me ever since you came back and even before he rarely slept with me"she gulped, taking in my shocked impression "he really has been trying ever since you came back. He regrets what he did and although I shouldn’t be the one to give advice but give him a chance"
"I-I..." I said but couldn’t continue, too shocked. So she lied to me the entire time "but when you got out of his room in his shirt?"
She blushed "well I was in his room before he got in and when he did and saw me on the bed he said he didn’t want to not now or ever and told me to get out. I took his shirt so no one would see me and maybe Alan would notice. So I’m really sorry"
