Werewolf Compilations novel Chapter 16

"I forgot." I lie.

"You forgot! How the hell do you forget-"

"Okay, I get it!" I yell at Katy. "Don't you want to know what happened!"

She nods and leads me to the comfy couches.

"Okay, I went for a run, and some stranger showed up, and he told me to go with him. I obviously didn't so I ran, and he chased me. He trapped me but when another wolf showed up and gave him a signal he growled and left."

"Why didn't you shift?" Katy asked.

"I couldn't."

Before we could continue the front door swings open and Tyler walks in the house.

He immediately turns to us, and his eyes go dark.

"Who were you with Anna? I can smell it on you." He walks up to us.

That was fast.

"I went for a run, and another she-wolf showed up, I guess her scent got on me." I lie again.

"Anna don't lie to me." He says seriously.

"What are you talking about I'm not-"

"I can smell another male on you." He cuts me off.

"I'm going to go." Katy gets up and goes to the kitchen.

I slowly turn back to Tyler, he has his arms crossed over his chest and a serious look on his face.

"Anna who were you with?" He asks slowly and impatiently.

"I was... running... in the woods." I smile, he can obviously tell I'm bending the truth.

"With?"

"Myself."

"Anna you went alone!" He bursts.

I look down at my hands resting on my lap. "Yeah, but I'm fine." My voice cracks.

His face softens, and he sits beside me on the couch.

"What happened?" He asks.

I take a deep breath. "A man was chasing me, and I didn't know what to do," I explain as tears threaten to fall.

I stand up from the couch and turn to the stairs.

"You should too," I call to him before going up to my room.

I walk to my bed and jump on to it, landing on my back. Does this mean something, what just happened? Are we a couple or something. Did Tyler accept that I'm his mate and that he wants to be with me?

I'm acting like a fourteen-year-old girl.

I walk to my closet and change into a pair of pajama shorts and a t-shirt. After I brush my teeth and other stuff, I slip in between the warm covers and try to sleep. But I don't. Too many thoughts are running through my head. I even keep looking at the window; I'm scared someone is going to climb through and kidnap me in my sleep. I'm acting ridiculous!

For the next two hours, I tossed and turned on the bed praying I would go to sleep. I turn towards the door, oh my god.

Tyler is standing in the door frame with bags under his eyes. I guess dreams do come true.

"I know you can't sleep." Tyler sighs.

I don't say anything.

"Come on." Tyler motions for me to go with him.

I nod and pull the covers from my body. I get up and follow him to his room. I run to his bed and jump on it; I pull the soft blankets over my body. I hear Tyler chuckle.

The bed dips down, and Tyler's heavy, strong, perfect arm pulls me into him. Let's just say I fell asleep.
