So I was really bored and managed to do this chapter, which is a part two to the previous one, so that's why I'm uploading it today.
Enjoy!
Shit! Shit! SHIT! My ankle throbbed every time I let my cast touch the ground, sending shards of pain throughout my leg. I grinded my teeth and kept running, hoping that I'd reach the highway in time to catch Joseph. I know that the forest is only about a half-mile wide from Sam's house to the road, so I should make it there soon.
I dodged tree after tree, sweat pouring down my shirt due to the still-abnormal heat here. My head had a low thumping in the back, my hangover still present, but not as prominent as it was before. At least that's one good thing to this new situation I'm in.
Sam's words rang in my head still. I'll allow Paul to do anything he wants to you. How the fuck was I supposed to know Paul was holding back when he was trying to win me over with his freaky obsession? He made me do fake community service, he chased me down in a forest, he even dry-humped me! I'm terrified to find out what he'll do when he's not in control of himself.
"Danni!" I heard a desperate voice call out from behind me.
I turned my head to look back, seeing Paul running after me. Since his clothes exploded when he attacked that girl wolf, he was running in the buff; his muscles contracting and flexing with every shift of his legs and arms. I even saw his hung penis dangle between his legs. Shit, I gotta focus.
"Go away!" I screamed back, facing forward again to continue running. I could hear the faint rumble of engines, meaning I was getting close to my target. I leaned forward and sprinted, ignoring my screaming ankle.
Paul's footsteps behind me grew louder and faster, meaning he was gaining. I wasn't at all surprised by this. With my cast on, I must be running at a pretty slow pace.
"Just wait!" Paul growled out. I felt his hand graze my back, getting a hold of my shirt. I skidded to a stop, making him run into me, sending us both rolling on the ground. Paul held me close to his chest as we tumbled on the forest floor, trying to minimize the damage that would happen to me. When we came to a stop, he held my arms down and crouched over me.
Something was different about Paul. He looked sinister. It seemed as if his pupils were larger and the irises that used to be chocolate brown were now cobalt or an even darker color. There were dark rings under his eyes, making it look as if he was sleep-deprived, or crazy. He ran his hand through his hair, making it dishelved and sticking up in random places, totally contributing to his psycho-look. Paul pushed his face closer to mine, an uncomfortable look on his, like he was struggling against something or straining to hold something inside.
"Danni," he growled, his voice sounding deeper and more guttural. I winced at its menacing tone and closed my eyes. "Look at me!"
I reluctantly gazed back at Paul, who had a brief smirk on his face, but it quickly disappeared and a desperate look took its place.
"Danni, you need to listen to me," Paul pleaded; sweat beading up on his forehead. He began to grind his teeth and squint his eyes, appearing to strain. "Sam ordered me to let my inner wolf take control when dealing with you."
"What does that mean?" I whimpered.
Paul lowered his head and began to sniff at my neck, down to my collarbone. He let out a growl that sounded like it was part pleasured and part territorial. "It means that pretty soon my animal instincts will kick in, and I won't be in control of my actions when it comes to you." He planted a kiss right over the bite marks he had given me when I was claimed.
I gazed up at the sky in disbelief as Paul continued to worship my body on the forest floor. He ran his hands up my arms and over my chest, cupping my breasts. His eyes were now a yellow, similar to the Hollywood wolfs' I've seen in movies.
"When I get off you, I want you run as fast as you can to your friend's car. I'll try to chase you or I might even succeed and carry you off somewhere, but I want you to try to get away from me." With shaky hands, Paul let go of my breasts and straightened his posture. "I'm too dangerous for you to be around now."
"But! But you said you'd never hurt me!" I protested, hoping to snap Paul out of whatever transformation he was going through in his mind. "You're supposed to protect me!"
Paul snarled and shoved his face closer to mine so that our noses touched. His upper lip twitched and he bared his teeth. "That's what I'm trying to do!" he yelled. "Sam scarred Emily when he let his wolf take control! I'll never forgive myself if I hurt you like that!" He then closed the gap and shoved his lips onto mine, quickly pressing his tongue into my mouth, claiming dominance.
I laid still in shock at all that was happening. One moment Paul was begging me to run away from him, and now he's lying on top of me, with his tongue down my throat. Is he bi-polar? Paul ended the kiss and leaned back.
"I love you," he growled. "Don't you fucking forget who you belong to!" He rolled off me, finally granting me freedom.
I struggled to my feet, having to use a tree to lean on. I glanced back at Paul, who was on his knees, his face towards the sky still straining. Thick veins popped out on his neck as he unleashed a low growl.
"Get out of here!" he screamed when he realized I hadn't left yet.
I turned and began to hobble off in the direction of the road. Joseph should be coming soon, so I quickened my pace in order to catch him as he drove by.
"And Danni?" Paul yelled out.
I didn't turn to look at him, but grunted to acknowledge his statement.
"I'm sorry," he growled, the wolf inside him beginning to make its way out. "I'm sorry for what happened in high school! I was just trying to protect you from those bullies! Because even back then, even before I phased and imprinted, I was in love with you!"
I stopped dead in my tracks and looked at Paul in disbelief. He was now lying on the floor, arching his back in pain as his wolf broke through his barriers. I can't believe that he was in love with me back then. At first I thought that it was only because of the imprint, but he said it even happened before that. Could that mean he really is my soul mate?
Paul stopped squirming on the floor and slowly stood up, squaring his shoulders and puffing out his chest when he was at his full height. He looked at me, his yellow eyes piercing my body, looking sunken in. His eyebrows arched and he smirked, showing off his evil smile. No, this wasn't Paul anymore; it was his wolf.
The faint sound of a car approaching sounded in the distance. Joseph! He was almost here! I had to get to him before he drove by from where I was, leaving me with psycho! I turned around and took off through the forest, barely able to see the road from where I was. I'm going to make it!
"Where the fuck do you think you're going?" I heard Paul roar from behind me. His breaths came out sounding rough and jagged as he sprinted over to me, moving a hell of a lot faster than before.
I quickened my pace, eventually making it to the tree line. Paul froze in his spot, not wanting to reveal his naked self to the cars on the highway. I glanced back to smirk at him. "I won," I smiled.
Paul grimaced and began to shake. "I'll hunt you down!" he roared. "I'll fucking get you on way or another! You belong to me!" He threw his head back and let out a menacing howl that sounded out through the forest, even sending shivers down my spine.
A black car pulled up in front of me, and to my delight, Joseph rolled down the window and unlocked the door. "C'mon," he said.
I looked back over to Paul, to see he was gone, most likely phased into his wolf form to follow me and Joseph. I quickly got into the car, slamming the door and locking it behind me.
"You look like you've seen the devil himself," Joseph mused as he took off down the highway.
I kept my eyes glued to the forest outside, fearfully waiting for Paul to run out and crash the car. "Something like that," I mumbled.
PPOV
I growled as I watched MY Danni get into the car with that punk-ass motherfucker. It took every ounce of strength inside me to not tear that tin vehicle apart, killing the asshole who took her in the process. Danni belongs to me! My eyes widened at the thoughts I was having, no longer being able to filter them.
"That's because I'm in charge now," my wolf said, making his words come out of my mouth.
You'll hurt her! I growled. She's already mad at us, you're making it worse.
I felt myself bare my teeth and snarl. A low growl rumbled deep in my chest and my hands began to shake. "I FUCKING LOVE HER!" my wolf yelled at me. "I will never hurt her!" I could see by the thoughts he was making me have that he was right. He was desperate to have Danni in his arms. There were countless fantasies of them just on the couch, Danni resting her head on my/his chest, fast asleep. He had his/my arms around her, holding her protectively to my/his (damn this is weird!) chest, not taking his eyes off her for a second.
In fact, the more I read his thoughts, the more I saw that my wolf had some obsession with coming off as a knight in shining armor. He would save her from bullies, thugs, bloodsuckers, even other members of the pack; all of them ending with Danni running into his arms and saying "My hero!" and planting a big kiss on him.
That's odd; I would've figured he'd picture me and her always fucking.
"I said I love her," my wolf growled, "not I lust for her." However, images of him making love filled my mind. He was on top of her, moaning wildly, almost begging Danni to make love back.
A little desperate, eh? I teased. It seemed that my wolf was just as in love with Danni as I was, but due to his heightened animalistic qualities, he seemed to long for something more, like an emotional bond that would tie me and Danni together. He craved this, breathed for it.
"If you've let me take control earlier, she'd already be ours!" he snarled. "And we wouldn't have to fascinate anymore, we'd live it! Just imagine our Danni safe in our arms due to her own free will! Imagine waking up to her every morning without having to leave before she gets up! We'll be the first person she sees everyday!"
My wolf was making perfect sense to me. It would be awesome to have Danni love me back, to be mine. Fine, I relinquished, But you have to give me back control when we get her!
"Don't worry, it'll feel like you are in control," my wolf said, making it look like I was just talking to myself, which I technically was.
I stalked out of the forest towards my car that was in Sam's driveway. I got in and zoomed off to Danni's house to prepare how I would get her; at any means necessary.
