and looks down at what I’m wearing. I blush. “I couldn’t sleep, not without you” he says. “I thought you were mad at me” I say. “Why would you think that?” He asks narrowing his eyes. I step forward and brush his cheek with my fingertips. “Because you hadn’t said two words to me since what happen.” He closes his eyes at my touch. “Because, you’re an angel” He whispers. I smile “Close the window and come to bed” I whisper. He swallows thickly and does what he’s told. I crawl back under the covers. He lies on the bed as far away from me as he can. He lies on his back with his arms stiffly by his side. “We’ve done this before why are you acting like that?” I whisper. “Because it’s harder now” he says and I move to across the bed to him and curl up against his chest. He buries his face in my hair. “Heaven” he whispers. “You smell like vanilla, the most intoxicating smell of vanilla.” He says then I remember, werewolf senses. I slip my hand under his shirt and trace his abs with my fingertips. Slowly, teasingly. “Stop” he whispers, begs. I look into his eyes. Then, I drop my gaze to his lips. I trace them with my fingertips too. He closes his eyes and moans. I connect my mouth to his. Slowly, sucking his bottom lip. “No” he says and jumps out of bed. “Riley, I can’t control myself when I’m around you” he says. “Then don’t” I whisper. He looks at me then climbs back in bed and crushes his body to mine. So much it hurts. I don’t care though. I kiss him, passionately. He kisses my throat and my face tenderly. I rip his shirt apart in my hands. I throw the tattered pieces of the bed and trace my hands down his smooth, tan, chest. I kiss every part of his chest. I look into his eyes. He looked like he was under a drug. His eyes were glassy and shown a bright green. “Dakota?” I whisper. He looks at me “I have to stop Riley ok?” He says and his voice sounds like pain, like lust. “Ok” I whisper and move reluctantly back to my side of the bed. We stay like that only for seconds. Then he growls and raps me in his arms. I lay still against him and listen to his heartbeat. I think of Sam and how much him and Dakota were different. Chapter 13: SAM

 

I wake up to Dakota watching me. His arms were still around me. He was bare chested and a blush creeps on my face when I remember I ripped it off. His skin was tan and beautiful he had a tattoo of a wolf on his arm it was black with green eyes too. “Good morning, beautiful” he whispers. I just smile faintly and bury my face in the crook of his neck. “I would have been gone already, but my shirt is…well you know.” He says and I giggle against his warm skin. “I’m sorry” I say. “Don’t be” he whispers back. “Dakota I can talk to you about anything, right? And you won’t get mad?” I ask. He turns and lifts my chin. “I could never be mad at you” I hesitate. “When you told me you love me I didn’t say anything because I wanted to be a hundred percent sure. Well, Dakota I do love you” I say and his eyes sparkle. “But last night when you and Sam walked me to my room, after you left Sam kissed me. I didn’t push him back either.” I say and Dakotas hands curl into fists. “Right now I’m confused because something draws me to you, but whatever that is draws me to Sam too.” I say and Dakotas fists unclench. He sits up on his elbows and stares down at me. “Then I have a solution” I narrow my eyes. “You go on dates with each of us. It will be fair too I won’t come in here at night either .Riley, I will do anything for you” he says. “But that will be punishing me, you not being here.” I say on the verge of tears. Dakota smiles faintly and wipes one of my tears away with his fingertip. “I can come here in wolf form.” He says quietly. “I feel safe with you here” I whisper. “I know” he says back and I drift back asleep. When I wake up this time I’m alone. I get out of bed and get dressed in jeans and a white shirt. I look at myself in the mirror. I looked like the same person. My black hair was still straight and long. My eyes were still the same cobalt blue. My skin was the same shade of white. I looked deep within myself. I did see a difference. I seemed to hold myself with a newly found confidence. Maybe that was it? I hear a chuckle. I turn and see a demon stand before me. I stare at him. “Michael” I whisper and my dagger appears. “What do you plan to do with that?” The demon asks in a mocking tone. I stay silent as he comes closer. He is fast and comes at me in blinding speed. I retract my wings and flicker my eyes. He gasps in surprise. I wipe my knife across his throat and blood splatters across my white shirt. He catches me by the wrist and bites me. While I’m in angel mode his demon blood is like venom pulsing through my veins. My body feels like fire consuming me slowly. He lets go and I almost fall to the ground. Then he falls. I look in front of me. Another demon stood there. He was blue with black markings. He had red eyes and a long tail. With horns on top his head. He held a dagger. “I won’t hurt you, I came to help, daughter of Michael.” He says I believe him to. I let him approach me. “Drink this, its holy water.” He says and I chug the bottle. I choke as if I’m drowning in it. “It’s the demon poison.” He says staring at me. “Who are you?” I ask. He stares for a moment. “Nicholi” he says. “Well, Nicholi help me down stairs” I say and I rap my arm around his shoulder for support. He murmurs words then, suddenly were in the kitchen. Everyone jumps up, pulling out knifes, and daggers. “Friend” I choke out and everyone relaxes. “There is a demon upstairs, dead, she had demon poison infected into her again and I gave her holy water.” He says and instantly Sam and Dakota are at my side lifting me away from Nicholi. “Why did you let this happen?” Sam yelled at him. “I didn’t LET anything happen, you’re her guardian correct? It’s your job” Nicholi answered. I saw Sam’s fists clench. “Stop, friend” I say and Dakota strokes my hair. “Shh, it’s ok I won’t let anyone hurt him” Dakota says and I concentrate on his hand on my cheek. Then comes the pain.           

 

 

Chapter:14 Prophecy

 

I sit up in bed listening to Dakota speak. “Were both going to sleep in your room from now on” Dakota said. I laugh and then wince. My ribs hurt from all the screaming I had done (From holy water). “How are yal going to manage that?” I ask and he shrugs. Silas was at my other side. “Riley, we want you to know that we appreciate what you did yesterday. If it wasn’t for you we all would have died” I give him a small smile. “I’ve been looking at prophecies and Michael is the angel of war. We are at war with a man name Canaan” I gasp. “That’s my uncle’s name” I say and Silas narrows his eyes. “Could it be a coincidence?” I ask and he shakes his head. “I don’t believe I coincidences, but I will, however, look into it.” He says looking off into the distance. Silas leaves my bedside in a hurry. Sam comes in behind him. “Hey” he says with a wink. I smile a little. “Mind if I take you to lunch?” He asks I look at Dakota. “Yeah, go head” he says and walks out. Sam gives me a questioning glance I shrug and step out of bed. I stumble a little and he catches me. He smiles. “Dakota said that he’s going to be fair and let you date me too.” I say and Sam smiles. He kisses me. I pull back quickly. I give him a scolded look. “I thought that means I could do that” he says. Well, I guess he can right? I kiss him back this time and he smiles against my lips. “I’m starving” I say and he laughs. “I am too, but not for food” he whispers, which causes me to shiver. We walk to the kitchen and I see fresh cookies that the cook made. “Ooh” I say and Sam lifts me onto the counter. I reach for a cookie, but Sam holds the plate away. I swat at him, but end up laughing. “You have to kiss me first” he says after his third cookie. “Fine” I mumble and I kiss him lightly on his lips. His mouth tasted like warm chocolate. Then I heard someone come in. I pull apart and see Sarah, the shy blonde girl staring at us. She looks at me with envious eyes. I see tears in her eyes before she runs off. Sam turns back to me and hands me the plate. I get a cookie. “You need to go after her” I say and Sam shakes his head. “She just has a thing for me” he says casually. “Well, you need to talk to her” I say sliding off the counter. I head out the room and he catches my arm. “Are you JELOUS?” Sam asks me. I stare at him. “No, but did you see the pain in her eyes when she saw us?” I ask him. He nods “Ok, I will talk to her” he says. I walk up the stairs into my bedroom. I pick out some clothes that Rebecca gave me and go into the bathroom. I turn the shower on as hot as it will go. It scalds my skin, but I Stay under for
