Chapter 33: Chapter 33

Before we could react, he turned around and ran away at an unusually fast speed. I guess that came with being a werewolf, we didn’t know about that, but now that we do, we have to learn how to use it. I stared at where he had been seconds ago, puzzled as to why he ran away. Maybe he figured Jake was stronger than him even as a new werewolf?

“Max, don’t worry about what he said about us not being mates.” I turned to Jake and felt more worry grip me.

"But he is right. Werewolves have mates, what will we do when we meet our mates?"

"We shouldn't worry about it now. We just started dating and I want us to enjoy our time together. Don't let him ruin things for us, baby doll." He said, looking into my eyes and I could see the worry, need and love in his eyes.

I nodded as I gave him a reassuring smile, "Okay."

He smiled back as he leaned closer and pressed his lips against my forehead. He pulled back as he looked into my eyes. I looked back into his as he asked me, "Should I stay with you for the night in case Kane comes back?"

Kane, I had forgotten about him for a second because my mind was on Jake. He could definitely come back since he knew where I lived now. "Yes, but you'll be sleeping on the couch."

He smirked, his previous worry washing away, "Fine with me, baby doll. As long as you're safe."

"Okay, come on in." I replied and turned around to the door. I pulled out a key from my pocket and placed it in the key hole before twisting the handle. Pushing the door open, I walked inside and walked a few steps further in. I turned around to Jake who was closing the door.

"Get comfortable, I'll be right back."

"Okay." He replied, and walked towards the couch.

I turned around and made my way to the stairs. I jogged up the stairs and finally reached the top floor. Walking towards my room, I opened the door and padded in. I made my way to my bed and sat down. It was time for my black,heeled boots to come off. I tugged at them and pulled them off.

They came off and I placed them on the ground beside me. I stood up and walked to my normal sized closet with its open white door. I stretched my hand in and pulled out my lime green night gown from a hanger hanging from a hook. Turning around, I made my way to the bathroom and closed the door after entering it.

After changing into the lime green, knee length night gown, I walked out of the bathroom then walked out of my bedroom. I closed the door and made my way to a white door facing my bedroom's door, the closet. As I opened it, I pulled out one spare, blue pillow and blanket. I closed the door and made my way down the stairs in a jog.

As I did, I saw Jake leaning against the back of the three sitter couch that was facing the stairs. He had his arms crossed and his gaze fell on me when he saw me coming down. His gaze moved down the length of my body and then my legs. He stared at them for a few seconds too long before looking back up to my eyes.

His lips curled up into a smile as he said, "I want to sleep here every night if it means that I get to see you showing those beautiful legs."

I knew he would say something since I was always wearing jeans. I laughed as I threw the pillow at his head as I stepped onto the floor. Jake raised his hands swiftly and caught the pillow just as it neared its face. I threw the blanket at him too, but he also caught it.

He smirked as he placed them on the couch behind then turned back to me. "Werewolves reflexes, baby doll. Remember?"

I shook my head as I chuckled more, "Stop joking around, Jake."

He took a few steps closer to me as his gaze captured mine, smirk leaving his lips. "I'm not joking, Max. You are very attractive in anything that you wear, jeans or short, night gowns."

I felt my breath hitch at his words and butterflies erupted in my stomach. He strode towards me and gripped my hips in his hands as he pressed his lips to mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck as he pressed his body against mine. He moved his lips from my lips to my jawline then trailed kisses down my neck.

As his hot lips reached the skin on the base of my neck, I felt something sharp graze my neck. I shivered as I pressed myself closer to him, wanting to feel his teeth to bite me. I didn't know what came over me, but I felt the intense need to have his teeth to sink into the flesh on my neck.

Jake also seemed to be feeling the same way as he pulled me closer to him. He started pressing his teeth that felt like fangs against the skin on my neck. Something clicked and I suddenly pushed him away with both of my hands. As he stepped a few steps back, I saw sharp fangs pointing out from his mouth and his eyes were pitch black as he breathed heavily.

I was also breathing heavily, but not as heavily as him. We stared at each other, tension thick in the air as heat swirled in our eyes, but also shock. "Why did your wolf's fangs come out?"

"I have no idea." He replied, and I nodded, taking a deep breath then letting it go. I noticed that as his breathing steadied, his eyes turned back to their normal hazel and his fangs went back to normal teeth.
