Whoa I did not expect so much feedback I'm really impressed! Okay so where I am it's about 2 am and I am so bored I can't even sleep yey don't you just love it when that happens?
I pulled back from his kiss after a few seconds "Caiden we- I can't do this I'm sorry" his bore into mine as if trying to change my mind, I had to tear mine away so I didn't back down. I couldn't do this to Ethan it just wasn't right.
"Why?" he asked me so gently. I couldn't answer him right away my eyes just flickered over to the flowers on my bedside table then back down to the ground. I didn't need to look up to know that Caiden had seen exactly what I had looked at almost immediately his hand slid from my face as he slowly approached the vase "Ethan" I nodded, I didn't understand why this was so painful "I admire you Angel. You're so innocent and trusting and forgiving. Don't let him hurt you again please"
"I won't I promise" I whispered still not looking him in the eyes but I could feel him come closer then just as before he lifted my head up to look him in the eyes. He placed one more soft kiss on my lips "you may be with him but I promise you I won't give up trying to win your heart, imprint or not" I nodded wordlessly and let a few silent tears roll down my face. Caiden gave me a loving smile before jumping out of the window. I stepped back placing one hand over my heart and one over my mouth, squeezing my eyes shut I continued to cry silently before I fell asleep with tears staining my pillow.
I woke up in a blissful state, I dreamt about rainbows and puppies. I slugged my way downstairs and waved at my family. Max and dad looked at me funny and raised questioning eyebrows at me so I smiled at them then sat to eat my pancakes. Mom came round behind me and kissed the top of my head. I think that I may have to become completely unaware all the time because I have to admit I have never been happier to be so ignorant to the world but of course as soon as I stepped into the shower my blissful ignorance was washed away with my sleep induced haze and prepare me for the drama heading my way.
A few days later...
"Can I open my eyes yet?" I questioned Ethan
"Nope you have to wait for a few more seconds then I'll take the blindfold off" Ethan sat me down on a chair and took the blindfold off, we were sat in a full karaoke bar and he was holding the microphone. The intro to Bruno Mars 'just the way you are' started playing, one of my favourite oldies, Ethan took my hand and starting to sing the whole song to me in front of everyone staring into my eyes the whole time. Once he had finished singing the crowd erupted into a round of cheers and wolf whistles, Ethan got down on one knee and pulled out a small box, my eyes widened as he opened it to reveal a beautiful golden promise ring, everyone had gone silent at this point
"Angel, I know we've had our ups and downs and that we haven't been together for long but we have a special connection that just can't be broken, I love you with all my heart so will you wear my promise ring?"
"Yes" I choked out and the crowd cheered for us as I wrapped my arms around Ethan's neck, he picked me up and spun around in a circle then placed a romantic passionate kiss on my lips.
We left the bar and started walking home going through parks holding hands and making small talk. We reached my favourite childhood park and sat on the special bench. I wrapped my arms around one of Ethan's and rested my head on his shoulder "thank you Ethan tonight has just been magical" his response had been a kiss on top of my head.
A chilled wind blew and Ethan was suddenly on high alert standing in front of me growling. "Ethan what is it?" I asked stupidly, I knew exactly what it was nothing else would be able to get him to react this way.
"What do you want?" he snarled at our visitor, there was a rustle and he came out from the bushes.
"To make sure she gets home safely" Caiden answered. Have you ever thought about keeping something secret so hard that it comes out anyway? Yeah well multiply it by two and you have the pack mind, Caiden hadn't wanted Ethan to find out about his promises to me but then Max found out so they were both trying to hide it then inevitably Ethan found out, he freaked big time and almost had a fight with Caiden and for the past few days there has been clear tension between the two of them and Caiden follows us when we're out alone together but tonight he just didn't bother to hide it.
"She is my imprint not yours you have no need to be here"
"Some imprint you are if a fit blonde walked past Angel would be sat on that bench while you made out with her!"
"That's a load of bull crap and you know it!"
"Oh if that's so why did it happen before?"
"It's completely different now she's wearing my ring!" he twisted it a little bit I was wearing his promise ring not an engagement ring.
"What lie did you tell her to get it on her huh?"
"ENOUGH!" I shouted at them "I am sick of your arguing over me, you both need to quit it before you lose me for good! I'm going home and I don't need either of you to follow me. If I find out you did then there will be serious trouble!" they were both about to protest but I gave them my best mom look and stomped away from them.
I was about 5 minutes from home when a familiar voice drew a smile out of my frown "hello pretty girl, I haven't seen you for a while" Daniel greeted, I wrapped my arms around him and the smile stayed on my face releasing him I looked him straight in the eyes and noticed they were black.
"Oh Daniel I'm sorry I hadn't realised you were thirsty I wouldn't of hugged you otherwise!"
"That's ok my dear, I am well controlled. No need to feel worried"
"Ok"
"Why is it Angel, that whenever I see you, you are upset?"
"Because it seems the only time I can get away from them all is when I'm angry or sad"
"I would not let you be sad if you were my mate, those wolves don't understand you at all" I should have found that disturbing but Daniel was just a friend and he was trying to comfort me "but what happened this time?"
"two of them like me, one is my ex-boyfriend who is my boyfriend again and the other guy was the one that took my breath away with a single smile, but they won't stop fighting, they are supposed to be brothers, pack mates and I'm getting in the way of that sometimes I think it would be easier if I wasn't in the equation anymore. You know what I mean?" he nodded then sniffed the air quickly
"I am sorry beautiful girl but I must go it seems the hunt is on to get to your house first so they can sit under your bedroom window tonight" I sighed in anger
"This is what I mean it's just plain ridiculous! Thank you for listening to me Daniel you're a great friend" I placed a small kiss upon his cheek and ran to my house. As I approached the front door I saw them both waiting for my under my window I growled and grinded my teeth.
"You both better get out of here before I call a vampire to take me away and I'm not talking about the vegetarian ones either" I threatened. The boys did not like that idea one bit and growled in warning at me, so I growled back harshly to which they whimpered and left. It was funny, I had a few traits of a wolf yet I would never change and I had to be grateful of my vampire genes for that.
I hung out in my room for a while that night. I blinked and then suddenly there was Daniel stood in my room with amber eyes. I smiled broadly at him before realising "Daniel you can't be here if my brother or my dad smells you then you can say bye-bye to being un-dead!" he chuckled
"No need to panic, you father is at Jared's house, your mother is sleeping and your brother is out patrolling it is just you and I home"
"Good, did you see them both waiting there for me?"
"I did and I also heard your threat, I was a little saddened to hear it, I do wish you wouldn't even think of handing yourself over to a human drinker, it would make my life a little less tolerable" he said with a glint of sadness in his eyes.
"I'm sorry, I wasn't actually thinking of it as an option it was just an empty threat, they wouldn't have left if I didn't" I smiled weakly at him "I couldn't leave you friendless now could I?" I sent him a cheeky grin and hoped I didn't upset him too much
"That's good to hear now I wanted to tell you-" my bedroom door swung open and Max was stood in the doorway growling in a way I had never heard before, I t was so dangerous and animalistic.
"Daniel stay still don't run!" I blurted out quickly and scrambled my way over to Max, I carefully placed my hands either side of his face and forced him to look me in the eyes "Max this is Daniel, look he has amber eyes just like Grandma and Grandpa you don't need to attack. You need to calm down instead its ok he won't hurt me" I said firmly and steadily Max started to take in deep breaths and calmed himself. He looked up and Daniel and stated
"You need to leave now and keep your distance" he spoke like an alpha even though he was only second in command. Daniel nodded once and left faster than he came. "You are grounded"
"I was allowed out tonight Max!"
"On the condition you had a wolf with you at all times"
"I did have a wolf with me I even had two at one point!" I raised my voice slightly
"Yeah? So where the fuck were they Angel! Because they clearly weren't here! Are you that stupid to actually befriend a vampire who just strays onto our land! You don't have a fucking clue do you? Just a stupid little girl who only thinks about herself! 'Daniel' could snap at any moment and go after any one of the packs families or imprints and that would be your fault! And speaking of tearing apart families; you have two wolves pining for you and you tell them both to leave you alone because you don't have the balls to pick which one you want, well here's a clue Angel why don't you go with the one who imprinted on you! You're wearing his ring yet you still tell him to fuck off! What do you want Angel for them to fucking parade themselves in front of you like they are show dogs! Well news flash they aren't dogs they are human beings with feelings and if you don't hurry up and make your mind up those two pack brothers are going to kill each other!" Max full on yelled at me. The tears were steadily flowing and didn't show any signs of stopping anytime soon "shit! Angel I am so sorry I didn't mean to blow up at you like that!" he tried to come closer and comfort me, but I stepped back
"Don't!"
"Angel please I"
"Get out" I gritted out
"Squidge!"
"I said get out!" I full on yelled back, begrudgingly Max back out of my room and I slammed the door and locked it. I dialled a number and just sobbed my heart out into the receiver, they hung up the phone and I kept crying into my hands until two warm arms wove themselves around my waist and pulled me up into their lap on the bed. I cried into his chest until again I was weary and tired. I snuggled myself into his warm body and fell asleep very comfortable on Ethan.
Hey so don't hate me for Angel choosing Ethan, she made me do it! That's right she told me it had to be that way! Yeah my characters talk to me... anyway I have to go and slip on that fun white jacket for a few days so I'll leave you with this question; do any of you know why that park is Angel favourite? Virtual skittles to all those who know!
