Chapter 6

Under the full moon with Drew was printed in my mind the whole way to Sly Fox. I can't help but wonder what Drew's kisses were like in reality. If mates only come once in a life time, then why am I falling for another shifter? Lindsey chose Rafe over Connor only because she didn't love Connor the way she thought she did. I know I loved Trey and I always will; I can't replace him.

Sly Fox was packed, not with shifters, with tourist. I managed to find Lucas, Kayla, Brittany, Connor and Haden sitting at a horseshoe shaped booth. "One on one with Olive." Brittany called before I could sit down.

"What?" Lucas and I both questioned.

"Pool." Connor answered.

"Uh, why, I suck." I announced. Then Lucas chocked on his beer.

"Stop that lying." He interrupted Brittany who was about to speak.

My stomach started growling as Brittany tried to pull off puppy eyes. "One round." Her face lit up. "If I win you have to pay for my dinner."

"And if I win?"

"Um, I'll . . ."

"Sing a song." My eyes grew wide.

"That's not fair!"

"You're the one who wants to play the game."

"No I don't! I got pulled into it as soon as I walked into the door!"

"Well, you can always chicken out." Brittany raised her eyebrows. Me? A chicken? She's just trying to get into my head, it will never work.

"Deal!" I blurted. I'm so weak.

"Wait, so you're going to sing in front of the bar if she wins? Which song?" Lucas asked sitting up dragging Kayla with him.

"Baby steps, cuz. Baby steps." I replied. I can't believe I just got myself into this.

While Brittany got up and led the way to the pool room, I couldn't help but see Drew's light brown eyes following me in the corner of my eye.

The eight ball was in perfect range with a corner hole. Brittany still had two solids to go. This isn't the time to make scratches or mistakes. I lined up my pool stick with the ball admittedly looking for the right place to tap. Once I found it, my focus went way off, and my hand slipped. The eight ball bounced off the edge and went flying into the opposite hole. Well, at least I won. The people that were watching clapped for me as well as Brittany.

But that didn't matter at the moment. Something was making the hairs on my neck stand. I looked around the room and ended up locking gazes with Drew. He was leaning against the pool table two down from ours. Then a hand came down on my shoulder making me jump and break our gaze.

"You won." Brittany sighed with disappointment. She gestured to the bar with a head nod. "What do you want?" I shrugged her hand off.

"It's alright, I'll by it." I looked back to the pool table but he was no longer standing there. Before Brittany could argue I was on my way to the bar to get something to eat, and to look for Drew. What was I going to tell him? That I had a dream about him, and I'm curios about how he kisses. Yup, that's a plan, not. There's no point of talking to him if I don't have anything to say to him.

"Can I help you?" Mitch asked. He was shining a wine glass with an old clothe. I didn't even notice I was at the bar. (If your wondering who Mitch is, he is the owner of the Sly Fox. Full Moon pg. 72) I didn't even notice I reached the bar yet. "Hello?" Mitch waved his hands at me.

"Huh?"

"Are you going to order something or what?" He asked losing his patience.

"Yeah, um, do you have something for vegans?" I questioned and sat in one of the stools. With out another word he looked out into the crowd and called, "Margaret!"

"Way to be ignored . . ." I muttered.

"Don't worry; he does it to all of us." I guy from beside me mentioned. He had to be in his twenties because there were a pile of shots in front of him. He had a 5 o'clock shadow, was wearing what seemed like a camouflage hunter jacket, and had the cockiest smile. I crossed my arms and threw on my fake smile.

"Where did you get that jacket?"

"Oh, this." He paused to look at what he was wearing. "A family hand down. I've hunted with this all my life."

"Hunting?" He nodded. "Here?"

"Yes, well, technically in the mountains."

"So you're the reason the animals are acting up?" I blurted. I have to Lucas and the Elders.

"What?"

"Uh nothing, I got to go." I stood up and right when I turned he grabbed a hold on my wrist.

"Wait, don't you want to stay a little bit longer?" He asked raising a shot.

"No I really got to go." I yanked my arm but he wouldn't let go.

"Well, can I at least walk with you to your car?" What to say? What to say?

"Actually, I came here with a friend, and he should be somewhere around here." I lied searching around for an excuse. Then someone was blocking y view.

"Is there a problem here?" It was Drew. While the guy was distracted by his appearance I manage to snuggle my wrist out of his grip. When I looked up at Drew to explain, I couldn't help but see a cloak of danger in his eyes. I chocked and backed down. "Let's go." He ordered still glaring at the man.

The guy reached out and laid his hand on Drew's shoulder. Big mistake . . . Drew blinked hard before brushing off his hand. "Dude, what's your prob?"

"Don't touch me." He said sharply. The man didn't argue, he just sat back in his seat, and called for another shot as Drew led me out. Once we got out of the Sly Fox we were head towards the forest.

"Wow, you've been showing me your sensitive side all this time." I blurted before he could get on my ass about talking to strangers.

"What?" he snapped.

"What you did back there was like King Kong just got his bananas stolen by some stupid travelers!" I explained. For some reason I was enjoying this. "That was epic. You had me scared, and that guy behind him looked like he was about to pee in his pants!" He chuckled at my expression. "I'm just saying-" He covered my mouth with his warm hand.

"Shh, you're loud." He whispered. I looked into his eye's that were lightened up by the moon light. My whole body relaxed under his touch. What's wrong with me? He let go and I looked away feeling my cheeks get warm. "Why were you talking to that guy anyways? Haven't you ever heard of, 'Don't talk to strangers,'?" He questioned.

"Yes, I was just wondering why he was wearing a camouflage hunter's jacket." Then it hit me. "The hunter's jacket!"

"Yeah, you just said that."

"I know, but for a reason. He's been hunting in the mountains. I'm not sure that it's Bio-chrome or that he knows our secret. But he did say that it's a family thing. Maybe they use silver bullets a signature or something." I explained. But it still wouldn't explain Trey, and his . . . death.

"Olive, how did you know about those theories?" He asked. I waved my hands at him.

"Don't worry about that." I replied. "Come on we need to go tell the Elders."

"Olive, wait."

"What?" He closed the space that separated us and put his lips over mine. Totally catching me off guard, I stiffened in defense. Defense against what? Why do I try to prevent from having a moment like this with him, when I know I really wanted it? Instead of staying tense I relaxed just like I had before. His lips were so soft against mine as our bodies fit like puzzle pieces. His hands roamed my back as I tangled my fingers into his shaggy hair. The kiss deepened, just like it did in my dream, and his wild side came out. He wasn't being fragile with me anymore. He gripped my shirt trying to hold him self back.

Once we broke away I notice I was breathing harder then him. The kiss was more than I thought it would be. It was stronger than any kiss I had ever shared with Tyson, and tonight I felt like myself again.

It was going on 1:00 by the time we got back to Wolford. We didn't really talk after the kiss . . . it was actually quite awkward. He did try to apologize but I didn't except it. I also forgot the true reason why I had to get to Wolford so soon. So I went strait back to the room. I fell to sleep thinking about the kiss all night. Trey never came to mind . . .

SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG! I've been working on some new drawings and I'm so excited about how thier turning out. And then I had gymnastics and I lost my backhand-spring and I just got it back! YAY, and it only took two days! WOOHOOO!

I hope ya'll enjoyed this chapter at first I didn't know what I was going to do and then my fingers wouldn't stop moving, so I don't truly know what happened . . .:)
