Chapter 7

It had been three days since Sophia asked for space and two nights waking from the sex dream starring Luke. She regretted her decision every day. Luke was so distant and she missed having him around. She knew he was watching out for her because none of the hill kids have given her any trouble.

Luke had just come in from a run when his spine tingled, then he heard Sophia calling for him through the pack's link. She sounded like she was in pain.

Luke jumped into his car and drove over to her house. The Sheriff's car wasn't there. Luke climbed into Sophia's window and found her asleep in bed. She was asleep but her mind, her wolf, was screaming for him and she was moaning his name. Luke walked to her and squeezed her hand, "I'm right here baby." Sophia immediately fell into a silent restful sleep. Luke's presence was calming her wolf. Luke tried to pull away but she gripped his arm and whimpered. Luke gave in, he lay next to her and she instantly wrapped her arms around him and put her head on his chest. Luke kissed her head and wrapped his arms around Sophia. Luke slowly drifted to sleep. He was awakened a few hours later by the sound of Sophia's bedroom door being opened by a very angry town sheriff.

Luke motioned for Sheriff Donner to be quiet as he extricated himself from Sophia's grip. Both men turned when they heard Sophia growl. Luke instantly grabbed her hand and whispered into her ear, "don't worry baby, I'm right here. I'll be right back." Sophia's wolf calmed at his words again. Matt and Luke headed downstairs where they could talk.

"What the hell is going on Luke? I told you to stay away from Sophia!" he yelled.

"I know what you asked, but I couldn't. She was calling me; her wolf was calling me thru the link. She was in pain, I had to come, and she needed me."

Matt's anger dissolved at the truth in Luke's words. "She called you thru the link?"

"Yes"

"Damn It"

"She's going to flip soon isn't she?"

"Yes she is. I know I told you to stay away but under the circumstances I think you are who she wants and needs. You can be with her, I won't keep the two of you apart."

"I appreciate that Sheriff, but she has asked me to give her space. I'm honoring her request and giving her time. She has no idea that I am here and I would like to keep it that way."

"I won't say anything, unless she asks, I won't lie to her"

"I've already started a watch for her. Two pack members have been following her from a distance. She has no idea. They are only there to make sure they get her to help should she need it."

"Thanks Luke"

"I'm going to go back upstairs for awhile, I promised her. I'm going to leave in a few hours, I don't want her to know I was here."

"Luke… I was wrong about you. You care for her, I see that now."

Luke smiled at Matt and headed back to Sophia. He sat with her until the sky lightened and dawn began to break. He kissed her forehead and left out the window.

Sophia woke up again from the same sex dream she has had everyday. She felt empty inside, like she was missing something. She had to be going crazy, she could smell Luke! Maybe it was her imagination; her mind was playing tricks on her. She was still recovering from the dream."

EIGHT DAYS! Sophia thought angrily. I have been having the same dream for 8 days. What is going on? Each morning her soul cried out for Luke and each morning she could smell his scent in her bed. Sophia had no idea that Luke had spent every night with her. Sophia's wolf cried for him, it was getting worse, her wolf would cry for him during the day now too! It took all of the strength in Luke's body not to keep from going to her. Sophia had not noticed that Sean and Randy have been following her all week either.

Sophia had gone out on a second date with Scott. That was the hardest thing for Luke to do; to let Sophia continue to date Scott and not kill the ungulate. He had to keep reminding himself that he was the one who held her all night long; he was the one her body screamed for.

Sophia's last date with Scott had been disastrous. She wasn't paying attention to him, she was lost in her thoughts and Scott had noticed. She was finally forced to tell Scott that she didn't want to see him anymore. She told him that she was going through a lot right now and she couldn't see him anymore. Scott was hurt, but he understood how she felt.

Luke had spent the last eight nights in bed with Sophia; he only wished that she knew he was there with her. Luke was running late tonight, he needed to hurry and get to Sophia's house, he could hear her calls thru their strengthening private link.

Sophia was thrashing around on her bed calling for Luke; her father could hear her yelling for him down the hall. He was a little confused because Luke was normally already with her by this time. Matt was a little worried and decided to check on Sophia. As Matt opened her bedroom door Luke was climbing in thru the window. Sophia let out a scream and awoke with golden eyes. She saw Luke standing at the end of her bed and launched herself into his arms. He held her tight and whispered soft words to her until she calmed down enough to take back control.

"Luke, what are you doing here?" Sophia questioned

"Sophia honey, he has been here every night with you for the last week." Replied Matt.

Luke held Sophia tightly as Matt explained all that had happened and was happening to Sophia. Sophia was grateful that Luke was helping her. She appreciated that he tried to give her the space she asked for even though her wolf was crying out to him. She turned into his arms and said "Luke, I think you've given me enough space," Luke smiled at her and the two kissed passionately.
