Sorry I know it's been a while but I felt the need to come back and write this one. Enjoy it!
The moment our eyes met I felt like time was standing still. The earth may have even stopped rotating for a few minutes. My breathing slowed and everyone else in the room disappeared. It was just us. The way his dirty blonde hair rested behind his ear. And those eyes, those beautiful blue eyes. They never left mine.
"What's a nice boy like you doing in a town like this?" I asked.
"Am I what passes as nice in this town?" He replied with a smile. I smiled back.
"So what's your name?" I needed to know. "Cay...Daniel" he choked as he answered.
"Well okay Daniel. Would you like another cold one" I figured I'd ask since he was almost done with the one he had.
"Sure. What's your name by the way?". "Angelina" I smiled.
And then Connor came into focus behind him...
I immediately looked away. Connor and I had a deal. A deal I had to keep. But there was something about Daniel. I had to know him.
I had to stock up in the back, when I returned to the front of the bar Daniel was gone. I lost my chance...
drove my sister home early so I was the last one to lock up the bar. I caught a whiff of a scent. A familiar scent. Connor Slaughter.
"What do you want Connor? I still have a few days left. Can't I enjoy it?" I said as I turned around. His piercing silver eyes met mine. "I know. I'm just reminding you...You know it's not safe to be out this time of night" he smirked. The raspiness in his voice made the hairs on the back of my beck stand up. He brushed my bottom lip with his thumb.
Connor had a reputation in this town and it wasn't a good one. Everyone in Lupine Ridge lived in fear of him. I mean who wouldn't. He was the alpha. He was over 6 feet tall, built like a Greek god and twice my size. He was definitely attractive but a monster nonetheless. He wouldn't hesitate to kill or take what he believes to be rightfully his. That's why we made this deal. I was afraid that if I didn't agree he would kill everyone I loved and even if I wanted to run he would find me.
"You better be getting home now" he demanded as he nodded his head toward the direction of my car. And I watched as he walked a few steps ahead. His long hair flowing in the cold night air with a few strands of grey. The way his clothes were always dirty with blood and ripped. I wonder what life was like for him and then I remembered I would soon know.
He opened the door and I climbed in. "Goodnight" he said and then he ran off into the woods. I felt a little bit of fear set in as his scent disappeared.
