I had been on the run all my life. And when he offered me a home and safety. I didn't know him but I was desperate. I had only my little brother. And I couldn't care for him the way I should have. He offered a home and I desperately needed one.
Now I wasn't just "yeah, lets jump into a van with a stranger " I was suspicious. But then he proved to me that I could trust him. You might ask exactly how. He shifted. Not just shifted but into a wolf. Now don't go thinking this is another one of those vampire werewolf stories. Trust me. In this world you have to be careful who you trust. Just shifting anywhere any time could get you killed. So when he shifted he showed me he trusted me. Or enough to keep his secret.
"need a place to stay?"
I was desperate but not stupid. But still desperate.
"and you're gonna give it to me, right?" I asked
"yes, yes i am."
"what's your price"
"no price. We help our own"
"we?"
"you and I aren't the only werewolf's like us."
"listen I don't know you. Just because you're like me doesn't mean I like you."
"right?" he raised an eyebrow.
What he did next surprised me so much. I had to fight to keep my mouth closed. Or from dropping to the center of the earth. He walked away. Or started too,
I wanted to just give up. I knew how this went. I had seen it in movies. He starts to walk off and then I suddenly realize I need him. And desperately call out for him. And that's exactly what happened.
