There's some Isaac/Holly interaction in this chapter. And there's some badass Holly also :)

There's a new outfit on my polyvore account, go check it out. It's also got a picture of Kit.

I ended up wearing a long sleeve white shirt with a pair of knee length yoga pants and another pair of Nikes. Once I was dressed I walked back into my bathroom and took of my makeup before pulling my hair back into a braid. I walked back into my room but ended up pausing at the door to take in the sight in front of me.

Isaac was lying on his stomach on my floor with Kit sprawled in front of him. He had his teeth bared and he was nipping at my puppy. Kit would growl playfully before jumping at him and biting the tip of his nose. It had to be the cutest thing that I've ever seen in my life.

"You're so cute, did you know that?" I asked, crossing my arms.

He jumped up and stood tall in front of me. "I don't know what you're talking about; I'm a macho werewolf who doesn't play with puppies. Not even if their owner is the most adorable thing that I've ever seen."

I felt my cheeks heating up before I pushed against his chest. "I'm supposed to be embarrassing you not the other way around. Wasn't Kit like planning your death earlier?"

He just shrugged before his face got serious. "I'm sorry that you're doing this against your own will. I chose to be a werewolf, so did Erica and Boyd. I can't figure out why he changed you without your permission."

"I don't know, it's not like my life was peachy before all of this but now it's even worse. I just want everything to go back to the way it was before I moved here," I said, biting my lip to keep from crying. I barely knew this kid; he didn't have to deal with one of my meltdowns.

Isaac slowly walked towards me like he was afraid that I would shatter when he pulled me into his arms. I placed my head against his chest and tried to catch my breath so I didn't have another attack. He must have sensed that because he bent down and placed his forehead against mine, his blue staring intensely into mine.

"It's okay to tell me how you feel. I'm not going to judge you or anything, just lay it all on me," he whispered before sitting on my bed and patting the space next to him. "Derek can wait for a while."

I smiled before slipping off my shoes and sitting cross-legged next to him. "I don't know what I'm feeling right now, everything is so jumbled up in my head. I'm apparently a werewolf now and that means that I hear everything so it makes everything so much harder to handle. Like right now I can hear Kit's heartbeat and the blood running through you veins."

"I can hear everything that you're hearing but I just focus on other things. Like right now I'm focusing on the freckles on your nose, the ones that you usually hide with makeup. Everything you're feeling right now gets a whole lot easier to handle, I swear," he said, taking my hand in his.

"I don't want to sound like a bitch but you're giving me whiplash right now. What happened to the arrogant guy that I saw earlier at the park?" I asked, moving away from him and putting space between us.

He rubbed the back of his neck before shrugging his shoulders. "It's different when I'm around you. I don't know how to explain it but you make me feel…comfortable. It's like we're connected or something, you know?"

Now that he said something about it I had felt a weird sort of connection between us. When I was around him something felt different with me. Did I feel safer? I couldn't put it into words but I really liked the feeling.

We ended up back at the training facility with Kit in Isaac's lap. "My dog loves you more than me? What did you do to him?"

He just shrugged his shoulders before looking down at Kit. "I don't know, maybe it's because I'm a dog too. It's that male thing, he feels the testosterone that I'm giving off and he enjoys it."

I just rolled my eyes as I parked my car and got out. Derek was standing in the doorway with his arms crossed in front of him and he was glaring at me. I sighed before taking Kit from Isaac and standing in front of him.

"Why do you have that with you? Don't you think we have enough going on without him?" he asked. He was talking slowly like I was a child and it pissed me off.

"I didn't ask you to bite me so I would appreciate it if you didn't tell me what to do. I get that you're my alpha or whatever but I really don't give a fuck. I'll train and help you do whatever but you're not the boss of me, are we clear?" I said, staring straight into his eyes and not backing down.

His lips turned up in the closet thing I'd seen to a smile from him when he said, "Crystal."

I rolled my eyes and walked into the room with Kit in my arms still. When we got inside I sat him in the corner and bent down to face him. "You need to stay over here while mommy deals with the werewolf that has a stick up his ass."

I heard laughter behind me before I heard a growl and it quieted down. "IF you're finished talking to the dog I want you to take your best shot at taking me down. Can you do that or is it too hard?"

I rolled my eyes before popping my back and taking a running stance. When he made a 'come at me gesture' I ran at him quickly and did a roundhouse kick to his chest. He grabbed my ankle and twisted it, making me hit the ground with my face hard. I felt blood fill up my mouth as I tried to catch my breath.

I stood up and spat the blood onto the ground before walking back to my starting point. I heard Erica laughing quietly while whispering to Isaac about how stupid I looked.

I gritted my teeth together and ran at him again. When I saw him start to reach out for me I somersaulted across the floor and knocked his feet out from him. He tried to reach for me but I took his arm and hand and snapped his wrist before rolling to my feet.

"Don't fucking knock me to the ground. I don't play around," I spat walking over towards a gawking Erica. "You want a turn, blondie?" Then I turned to Isaac, "What about you, dollface?"

Erica growled but did say anything and Isaac just stared at me. I shrugged before looking back over at Derek who was still on the ground. I knew his arm had healed itself but be must still be in shock or something; I guess he didn't get beaten a lot.

"Are you okay over there, Mr. Alpha?" I asked, holding out a hand to help him to his feet. "You told me to go for it so I did. I used to be a boxer when I was younger; I was really small for my age so my mom thought that it would be good for me at some point in time. I guess she was right, wasn't she?"

He just took my hand and used it to roll me back into the floor. He pinned me to the ground and wolfed out, thinking it would scare me I'm sure, but I was ready this time because I brought up my knee and caught him off guard. He flipped over and I pinned him to the ground this time.

"When are you going to stop letting a girl kick your ass?" I asked, breathing a little bit harder.

I heard him start laughing before pulling us both to our feet and throwing a punch towards me. I went into a backbend to avoid it and kicked under his chin as I flipped backwards. When I came back up everything was a little bit blurry and I felt the air in my lungs tearing through, it felt like I was breathing in fire.

I looked down at my side and saw that I had four slashes in my skin that weren't healing up. I glared at Derek before walking outside to my car. I figure that my worrywart father would have some sort of first aid in here and when I opened the glove compartment I saw a box with a red cross on it. Bingo!

I pulled out some alcohol and wiped down the cuts, clenching my teeth together tightly so I didn't hiss in pain (I knew they could hear everything I was doing). Once I'd cleaned it I placed some gauze over it and used medical tape to secure it down before heading back inside.

I saw Boyd and Isaac sparing in the corner and Erica was comforting Derek. I rolled my eyes before walking over to them.

"Why aren't these cuts healing? I thought I had super healing ability or whatever," I said, biting my bottom lip. "I didn't even feel you touch me."

"It's an alpha thing; I didn't even notice that I did it. You'll heal in a couple of days," he said. Then he smiled, "You're a little powerhouse. A dark horse of sorts, that's going to come in handy."

There may be some trouble on the horizon...
