Kaitlyn POV
Dean told me this morning that now that my wolf gene is fully activated, I need to learn how to properly use my heightened senses. He also told me that I need to learn how to control my emotions because they are the key to transforming. If I feel too much of any emotion I'm liable to transform. According to Seth, this only happens as a defense mechanism. The wolf gene activates itself for self preservation, so if it believes that I'm going through something that is too overwhelming, I will begin to transform. This being a wolf thing is getting more complicated by the day.
"Alright pup, I've hidden two items in the woods that don't belong here. Let's see if you and your newly heightened senses can find them," Dean says to me as he slowly circles me. We're in the middle of our training session. It started with running an obstacle course that looked like it could be used to train dogs for agility competitions, how fitting. It took me a couple of tries, but after a couple of stumbles I was finally able to finish the course within a decent time in both my human and wolf forms. Of course, Dean told me that tomorrow the course would get more complex. I know this is meant to help me but ugh!
"Only two," I tease him and turn my head to follow his movements. He stops and smirks at me, walking behind me. He puts one hand on my shoulder and slowly begins to stroke it with his finger tips. With his other hand he moves my hair to one shoulder and places his head in the crook of my neck. I can feel his breath on my skin and I close my eyes, savoring the sensation.
"Trust me pup," he whispers. "You're going to need the rest of our training session to find these things." He places a soft kiss on my neck and I automatically feel my fangs growing out of my mouth. Oh my God, I hope he doesn't notice! This is embarrassing! I hear him chuckling and he tells me, "You've got to learn how to control those fangs of yours pup." I turn to face him, completely horrified.
"How did you,"
"I heard them grow. By the way, your eyes are yellow." Now I'm really embarrassed! I started transforming over one little kiss to my neck?! That's pathetic! He smiles at me and cups my face with one hand. "I wish I could see what else I can do that will make you transform, but, unfortunately, we don't have time for that." I smile at his words before he takes a step back and takes out a bandana.
"What's that for?"
"Retract your fangs and turn your eyes back to normal and I'll tell you." This is too embarrassing! I close my eyes and focus for a few seconds. When I feel my fangs retract, I open my eyes to look at Dean. "Very nice. Now, this is a blindfold. I'm going to put it on you and you are going to use your senses of smell and sound to find the items." I give him a look. How am I supposed to do that?! He sees the confusion in my face and softly chuckles at me. "Trust me, Kaitlyn. As long as you concentrate, you'll be able to find the items." He takes a step forward and ties the blindfold over my eyes. "And don't worry. I won't let anything bad happen to you." I smile and nod my head. He puts his hands on my shoulders and turns me around to face away from him. "Now focus, okay," he tells me. "You can't rely on sight right now, so focus all your energy on your other senses." I feel his hands leave my shoulders and I take that as the signal to begin my search. Not having my eyesight sucks, but this will help me in the long run. I take a deep breath and try to relax. I stand in silence for a few moments trying to pick up on anything that seemed out of place. Suddenly I hear a ringing. It's faint, but it's definitely there. I walk in the direction of the ringing very slowly. I don't want to end up hurting myself because I can't see any obstacles that are in my way. My method doesn't really work, though because I end up bumping into what felt like a tree.
"Ow!" I rub my head to ease the pain.
"If you would've been using your senses correctly, you would've known that tree was coming up," I hear Dean call out to me. I turn my head in the direction of his voice and make a face while sticking out my tongue and making a farting noise. "Hey don't get mad at me, pup." I can practically hear the smile on his smug face. This is going to be a long ass training session.
About an hour and a half later I finally found the two items. One was a small bell hanging from a tree. The other was an open jar of peanut butter. That one made me scratch my head. Dean and I then began our walk back to the den. "So what was with the peanut butter," I ask him.
"Blame my dad. He made me and my brothers find the same items when our wolf genes were activated."
"It's still kind of weird."
"Hey you found it. That's all that matters," he tells me as he throws his arm over my shoulders. A small laugh escapes me and I grab onto his arm as we continue walking. "You haven't spent any time with Jojo yet right?"
"No I haven't. I mean I can barely look at her without thinking about what I did to her family."
"That's exactly why you should spend time with her. Facing her is facing your guilt."
"I don't know Dean. I don't think I'm ready."
"You don't have to do it alone. I can stay with you, if you'd like." I think about it for a minute. I mean, I should be able to be in the same room with the kid, and Dean's right about facing my guilt, but I don't know if I can handle being around her. Dean notices the look on my face and stops in front of me. He lays one hand on my shoulder and the other lifts my chin so that I am looking directly at him. "I'm not expecting you to get over it Kaitlyn. The kid's going to be with us for a while and so are you. The sooner you learn to deal with it, the easier it will be to deal with your guilt."
"I guess I could spend a few minutes with her." He smiles at me and nods. Then he places a soft kiss on my lips. It feels so right to be kissing him. I'm glad what happened last night hasn't made things awkward between us. If anything it seems to have brought us closer together. I stop the kiss for a moment to speak. "You promise to be there with me?"
"I promise." Our lips meet again in a slow and passionate kiss. I know I'm falling hard for Dean, and, from our conversation last night, I can only assume he feels the same about me, but what's next? Is he going to ask me to be his girlfriend? Am I already his girlfriend? This is even more complicated than being a wolf!
When we arrived at the den we automatically see Jojo running around the living room. She's looking around and behind the couches and chairs. What is she looking for? Dean gently nudges me toward her, and I take a deep breath and walk toward her.
"Hi Jojo." She looks up at me with a blank face.
"Who you?" I forgot that Dean took her memories away. She doesn't remember who I am. That's probably for the best though.
"I'm Kaitlyn." I feel Dean walk up behind me. "This is Dean."
"Ooooh," she says in understanding. She then smiles widely and waves with both hands. "Hi!" I can't help but smile at the sight. She's too cute.
"What are you looking for Jojo," I ask her.
"I look for Bayley."
"Are you guys playing?" She nods her head in response.
"We play hide seek, but I no find Bayley." She frowns and sits on the floor with her legs straight in front of her.
"You'll find her," Dean tells Jojo. "Bayley's really good at hide-and-seek isn't she?"
"Bayley no hide in kitchen, no hide here, no hide upstairs. I no find Bayley nowhere!" She plops her fists on the ground and her face turns into a pout. I sit down next to Jojo and pet her head.
"It's okay Jojo," I comfort her. "Do you want help? Dean and I can help you find Bayley." Jojo looks up at me and smiles while nodding her head. "Okay then, let's find Bayley." I stand up and offer her my hand to Jojo to help her up. When she takes it, however, something weird happens. Her eyes shine white and a bright light flashes me. Next thing I know Jojo falls to the floor. "Oh my God!"
"What the hell happened," Dean yells. He rushes to me and Jojo.
"I-I don't know! Did you see the flash too?"
"Yeah, I saw it but that doesn't explain what happened!"
"I said I don't know, Dean!" I'm freaking out! What was that light?! What's going on with Jojo?! I shake Jojo gently trying to bring her back to consciousness. "Oh my God!"
"Kaitlyn, don't cry." I didn't realize that I was crying. "She's going to be okay, we just need to wake her up." Instantly, Jojo sits up with her eyes still closed.
"Jojo," I call out. She opens her eyes, but instead of the regular brown, I see pure white. There's no color at all.
"It's good to see you again Kaitlyn." Jojo says. Her voice has changed. It sounds like a fully grown adult is talking. She turns to Dean. "You must be Dean. You've been taking very good care of our little girl, thank you." Dean looks at her inquisitively.
"You're not Jojo, are you," Dean asks.
"No, but she's fine don't worry."
"Then who are you," I ask.
"We're your parents, Kaitlyn." My- my parents? There's no way. How is that possible? Natalya told me that my parents are dead.
"B-but my parents are dead."
"We are dead, but we can speak to you through Jojo."
"How is that possible," Dean questions.
"Jojo isn't human. She's a sorceress."
"You mean a she's a witch," Dean asks.
"No. We mean she's a sorceress. Sorceresses are legendary beings of the highest order. They are known to humans as angels. They are the most powerful magical beings on Earth. Their type of magic exceeds that of both white and black magic. They draw on spiritual and cosmetic energy whereas witches only draw on nature and sirens draw on powerful negative emotions from within themselves. As such a sorceress' abilities aren't limited. We can speak through her because she exists in both the real world and the spiritual world." I can't believe this is happening. My parents are talking to me. Up until yesterday I was mad at them for abandoning me, and when I found out that they had been killed I didn't have time to mourn because of Natalya. I don't even know how to take in this information. I don't know how to deal with any of this!
"Kaitlyn," I'm pulled out of my thoughts when Dean puts his hand on my shoulder and says my name. "Your eyes, Kaitlyn. You need to control your emotions." Control? How can I control anything? Everything in my life is just completely out of control! "Kaitlyn, I know this is difficult, but if you lose control, you'll transform and fly into a rage." I try to hold back my tears and take deep breaths. The last thing I need is to transform. I feel Dean grab my hand and intertwine my fingers with his. This simple sign of affection is enough to calm me down.
"Kaitlyn," Jojo grabs my attention; or rather my parents grab my attention. "We know you have a lot of questions, but we just… We didn't have any time with you before we were murdered. We had to watch to grow up from afar, and it was so difficult to have to stand by and watch you go through some of the things you went through."
"I don't even know what to say. For so long I thought you guys had abandoned me, but… what happened?! How did you die?"
"Well," Jojo's voice is that of a man now. I assume that's my dad. "When I met your mother she was injured. I nursed her back to health and we fell in love, but we knew that neither wolves nor sirens would accept our relationship so we ran off together. Not too long afterward we found out that we were going to have a baby. On the day of your birth Natalya, found us. Your mother was weak from giving birth you. I tried my best to defend the both of you, but Natalya is too powerful for any one wolf to handle, as Dean found out yesterday. Next thing I know I crossed to the other side and your mother joined me not even five minutes later."
"If I may ask, sir," Dean starts, "How is it possible that Natalya was queen during your lifetime? She doesn't look that old at all."
"Sirens don't die naturally," my mother's voice takes over now. "They can only be killed. They also stop aging around 30 in human years. Any and all previous siren queens were killed some way or another."
"Will you guys be able to contact me whenever you want," I ask. I need to know the answer. I was never able to have a relationship with these people, and to have a second chance to know them, even in the slightest, is one that I don't want to give up any time soon.
"We don't know for sure, sweetie," my mother responds.
"We were called to Jojo when you touched her hand," my father adds. "I don't think it's something we can control."
"What if I need to talk to you guys?" There has to be some way to talk to them freely.
"I think," my mother begins, "Jojo is the only way that we can communicate, but the child is completely unaware of the power she holds, so there's no way she can control it."
"Is there any way we can train Jojo to control her powers," Dean interjects.
"As far as we know sorcery isn't something that can be taught. Only age and experience can unlock a sorceress' powers. However, Jojo has been able to tap into her powers younger than most sorcerers. She was the one who expelled Natalya from Kaitlyn's body last night."
"Wait, what," I inquire.
"Natalya had every intention to kill Jojo that night, but Jojo was able to cast a protection spell that pushed Natalya out of your body and injured her in the process," my dad answered. "No telling if she'll be able to do it again though, especially since Dean erased her memories." I look at Dean and I can tell that he's mad at himself.
"Dean," I call to him, "there was no way you could have known. You did what you thought was right." He sighs and runs his hand over his face in frustration. "I still think erasing her memories was for the best."
"Only time will tell if it really was, Dean," my father adds. "In the meanwhile, take solace in the fact that you were doing the compassionate thing." Dean takes a deep breath and nods his head in understanding.
"Jojo is regaining consciousness," my mother informs Dean and me. "Our time is coming to an end."
"Will we talk to each other again," I ask them.
"We don't know, sweetie," my mother tells me.
"But if we don't talk to you again, know that you make us very proud, and we love you very much," my father's words hit me like a ton of bricks. All any child wants to know is that her parents love her and are proud of the person she has become. "Dean, from one wolf to another, and, speaking as a father, take care of my little girl."
"I will sir," Dean responds to my father. Jojo's eyes then turn brown and she looks at Dean and me in confusion.
"We find Bayley now?"
Seth POV
"You know I'm not fond of you."
"You're not fond of anyone Corey, so I really don't give a damn." Per Punk's request I'm currently at the supermarket in town with none other than Corey Graves. He definitely wasn't my first choice, but Roman had to help Bayley feed Jojo. It was the funniest shit ever!
I was speaking with Roman in the living room when the fire alarm went off and smoke entered the rest of the house from the kitchen. The both of us run into the kitchen to see Bayley airing out the oven and waving the smoke away. Jojo was cowering behind the breakfast bar and curled up in a little ball.
"Bayley, what the hell happened," I screamed at her.
"Seth, watch your mouth around the kid," Roman warned me as he scooped up Jojo in his arms, and she wrapped her little arms around his neck.
"Jojo and I were hungry," Bayley explained in a panic. "There was nothing that we could just heat up so I took out a cookbook and tried a recipe but then I put the oven on too high or something and it burned the food!"
"Five years later and you still don't know how to cook?" I at looked Bayley incredulously. She will always and forever be a puppy.
"Take it easy on her, Seth. She's a pup. She doesn't know any better," Roman came to her defense.
"I'm 23! I am NOT a puppy!"
"Tell me that when you're not burning down a kitchen in an attempt to cook. Part of being an adult is knowing your strengths and weaknesses. You should have asked someone else to cook for you, instead of endangering your life AND a child's." Roman scolded her. Bayley looks at her feet embarrassed and upset.
"No be mean to Bayley," Jojo screamed at Roman and started punching his chest with her little fists. Roman just rolled his eyes and handed Jojo to Bayley.
"The both of you just have a seat, I'll make you something. Guess I can't go with you to the store, Seth."
"That's okay. I'll swallow my pride and ask Corey."
I've shopped at the supermarket before, but I've always gone with someone who knew what to look for. Roman gave me a list of things we needed, but humans have several different brands of the same product. How the hell am I supposed to know which one to get?! And Corey is not helping in any way. In fact, he's more interested in the little brunette human female that just walked by us. "Corey, can you focus? I really need some help finding these things."
"Nah, I found something more interesting to do," Corey tells me as he begins to follow the human.
"The whole reason you're here is to help me with the groceries!"
"I'll help you take them back. In the meantime, see ya!" What a fucking asshole! I take a deep breath to control my temper and grab a shopping cart. I look at the list:
Milk
Eggs
Whole Grain Bread
Steak
Chicken and/or Turkey(thighs, breast and wings)
Ground Beef & Ground Turkey
Bacon, Porkchops, Sausages
Cold Cuts
Cheese (nothing processed)
Vegetables (all fresh! Carrots, Peppers, Celery, Lettuce, Onions, Garlic, Peas, Eggplants, Corn, Potatoes)
Fruits (also all fresh! Apples, Oranges, Bananas, Grapes, Tomatoes, Avocados, Watermelon, Cantaloupe, and berries)
Seasonings (including salt, pepper, sugar and flour)Oatmeal and Cereal (get something fun for Jojo)
Pasta (any and all kinds)Pick up some fun snacks for Jojo. Keep in mind she's still growing so she'll need snacks with a lot of nutritional value.
It occurs to me that even with Corey's help I'll need to make at least two trips, and because I'm shopping for a fully grown hybrid, a fully grown human, thirteen fully grown wolves and a small child, who apparently is a fucking sorceress in-training, I need to buy large portions of all these things! I let out an audible groan as I walk down the seasonings isle and find the things that were explicitly mentioned, but what the hell else am I supposed to get? I stand in front of the fully stocked shelves in complete confusion.
"Maybe I can help you?" I turn around to see a blonde female around my age. She has her hair is a ponytail and she's wearing a simple pair of jeans with black boots and a light blue top. She's cute, but definitely not human. She doesn't have that human scent, but I can't place the smell. I wonder if she can tell I'm supernatural too.
"I don't know, maybe," I respond to her looking back at the shopping list Roman gave me. Dammit Bayley, if you could have just waited, Roman would be able to point out all the crap we need. "Do you know some basic seasonings I should get?" She stops pushing her cart and stands in front of the shelf next to me.
"Well, are you big on meat?"
"Yeah the family is."
"Well you're going to need meat tenderizer. These Goya seasonings are pretty basic too, and they can be used for almost any recipe. What does your family usually cook?"
"My brother does most of the cooking. I don't know what he uses." She giggles and covers her face to try to hide it.
"Okay, well how many people are in your family?"
"Sixteen."
"Oh," she gasps at me in shock. "You are going to multiple containers of these seasonings."
"Yeah, that and everything else." She chuckles and grabs a couple of the seasonings. "My name is Seth," I introduce myself, putting out my hand. She smiles at me and puts down the containers. She takes my hand and looks up at me.
"I'm Renee, it's nice to meet you Seth."
About two hours later, both my cart and Renee's cart is full of stuff, and I've checked off everything on the shopping list. Renee helped me the entire time, determining how much I needed of everything. During the conversation Renee had asked me how I was going to get this home. When I told her that I my friend and I were going to carry everything, she freaked out.
"Absolutely, not! You'll break your arms or something," she tells me as I pay for the groceries, and move the bags away from the cash register.
"You've got any better ideas?"
"I do actually," she says mischievously. I give her a look, wondering what she has it mind. "I have a confession." I turn to her and give her my full attention. "I know what you are."
"And what would that be?" She walks up to me and tip toes to reach my ear.
Quietly, she whispers, "Werewolf."
"How would a human know that?" I know she's not a human, but I want to see how perceptive she really is.
"You know I'm no human. I'm a witch, and I can use a transportation spell to bring all of these groceries to your place if you'd like. I can even transport them into the kitchen where they belong." It would save a lot of time and energy, but is there a downside to this?
"In exchange for what?"
"I don't want anything Seth, I would however need to know where it is you live." Damn. Everyone would be upset if I bring a random stranger home. I could just erase her memories afterward. "Oh, and don't try to erase my memories. You know I can counteract that with a simple spell." Damn! I think it over for a minute. I guess it wouldn't be the end of the world. Plus, witches and wolves have been allies since ancient times so there's no danger in her knowing the location of the den… right?
"I guess that's okay."
"Great," she says with a wide smile. "Shall we go?"
"Not yet, I have to wait for my pack member."
"Who would that be?"
"That would be me." Corey walks up from behind the cash register and passes by Renee to stand in front of me.
"Took you long enough Graves, and why do you reek of sex?"
"Do you really have to ask that question to know the answer to it?" I roll my eyes and Corey turns Renee. "I heard everything, witch. You know, inviting yourself to our house isn't exactly proper etiquette."
"I'm not inviting myself over. I'm simply offering to make your lives easier."
"So you say," Corey replies to her fiercely. I'm impressed with Renee, though. Almost anyone else would have backed down, but Renee is standing her ground, not flinching even once. I decide to mediate before things get out of hand.
"Corey calm down, she's a witch, not a siren. Witches and wolves have been allies for centuries." He gives me a dirty look before taking a step back. "We would appreciate the help, Renee. Corey stay behind and perform klopí̱ mní̱mi̱s." He looks at me and then looks at Renee.
"Fine. Just get your asses out of here." Renee then walks up to me and puts her hand on my shoulder.
"Just picture your home and your kitchen. We'll be there in no time." As soon as I get a picture in m head of the den's kitchen, the scene of the store disappears before me and I'm suddenly in the kitchen.
"Wow. That was painless."
"I should go now," Renee tells me. "If that Corey guy wasn't happy about me coming here, I can't imagine that anyone else would."
"I guess." I turn to her and hold out my hand. "Thanks for everything. Hopefully the next time you come here it will be under more pleasant circumstances." What the hell am I saying?! Would everyone really be okay with vistor?
"I'll be sure to take you up on that offer." She takes my hand and shakes it. "I'll see you around, Seth." She lets go of my hand and in an instant she's gone.
"Who was the blonde," I hear a familiar voice say. I turn to look behind me and find Charlotte and Layla.
"You know you're blonde too, Charlotte." The both of them just stare at me waiting for a reply. "She's a witch I met at the store. He helped me get all these groceries back to the den."
"Aww," Layla teases me. "Seth made a friend."
"A special friend," Charlotte joins in.
"A special friend who happens to be a witch," Layla adds.
"Would you two stop?" I don't need to hear them teasing me just because a witch decided to be nice to me. I start putting away the groceries. Charlotte and Layla decide to help me, but I'm sure they just want to stay to tease me some more.
Kaitlyn POV
The pack masters wanted me on guard duty tonight, but because I'm still in training to control my newly activated wolf gene, they wanted to keep me on house watch. It's pretty dull, but at least I get to spend time with AJ.
"You had sex with him?!" AJ just told me that she and none other than CM Punk had sex when they went to her apartment to gather a few of her things. I was shocked to say the least. What in the world was she thinking?
"Twice." Twice? As in two times in a matter of hours? "I don't know Kaitlyn. It just sort of happened."
"Things like that don't just happen! At least not two times in a row!"
"Says the one who almost had sex with Dean."
"Key word being almost."
"Oh please. If he hadn't kept his word to me you two totally would have done it." I stood silent. She had a point.
"Okay, point taken. So then are guys… together?"
"I don't know." She doesn't know? Well I mean I don't know what Dean and I are either. "I mean I'm pretty sure he likes me the same way I like him, but he hasn't said anything, you know?" I give her a sympathetic face and nod. "He told me that he doesn't want me staying in the basement anymore."
"Don't tell me that he wants you in his room." I could tell from the look on her face that he did, in fact, tell her to stay in his room. "Do you think he's only using you for sex?" A horrified look crosses AJ's face. "I mean why not give you one of the free rooms? This place has enough rooms for thirteen plus wolves after all."
"You don't really think he'd do that… do you?" I know AJ is panicking. I know that AJ really likes Punk, and I want her to be happy, but Punk's done nothing yet to prove that he has any real feelings for AJ. I mean, sometimes sex can be exactly that: sex. Before I can respond to her, I hear a tiny set of feet coming to the door.
"Kaitlyn, AJ," Jojo's tiny voice calls out to us from the doorframe. She's dressed in a long pink shirt that I assume belongs to Bayley. "Where Bayley?"
"Bayley went outside for a while, sweetie," I inform her. She's actually on guard duty with Charlotte.
"Bayley come back?"
"Yes, of course, Bayley's coming back," AJ tells her. "But you have to go back to bed."
"But room dark and scary!" AJ and I walk over to Jojo and AJ picks her up. Jojo hugs AJ's neck tightly places her face on AJ's shoulder.
"How about I spend the night with you until Bayley gets back?" Jojo nods into the crook of AJ's neck. "Alright then. You coming Katie?"
"I can't. I really should go back on guard duty with Sheamus."
"I was kind of expecting them to pair you with Dean."
"I would have preferred it, but Sheamus isn't a bad guy from what I can tell, so it shouldn't be a bad night." We hug good night and AJ takes Jojo back to Bayley's room as I walk downstairs to the living room. When I get downstairs, I see that Sheamus isn't here. I walk over to the kitchen and I still see no sign of him. Where the hell did he go? Suddenly, I hear a faint set of footsteps walking behind me. I try to remember what Dean taught me and stay calm. I close my eyes and try to pick up a scent, and I pick it up immediately. It's familiar, but I can't place it. I don't have time to try to place the scent as the footsteps grow louder. I throw a quick elbow behind me, connecting to the person's face and follow it up with a kick to the gut before turning around. When I look down I see Sheamus doubled over in pain on his knees, his arms grabbing his stomach. "Oh my God, Sheamus I'm so sorry!"
"You're a strong one aren't ya, lass," he coughs out. He groans out in pain.
"Why did you sneak up on me like that?!" I help him up lead him to the couch. He lies down on it and I sit on the floor by his head.
"I heard Dean was training ya. I had to make sure the lad did the job properly," he chuckles softly.
"I think he did. Before his session, I don't think I would have heard your footsteps or picked up your scent."
"You picked up my scent and still attacked me?"
"I didn't recognize it!" Oh God, I hope I don't get Dean in trouble.
"I guess I can accept that, but don't worry," he turns his head to me, making eye contact. "You'll be familiar with my scent very soon." What does that mean? I look at him inquisitively very quickly before I stand up.
"Let me get you some ice of your cheek." As I begin to walk away, I feel Sheamus grab me and pull me toward him. I end up falling into his lap with his arms around my waist. When did he sit up? "Sheamus,"
"You know," he interrupts my train of thought. "Dean isn't the only one who can teach you a few things about being a wolf." Oh no, he's making a move on me! I struggle to get out of his arms, but he holds me tighter to him. He places a few kisses on my upper arm, quickly moving up to my shoulder. My brain is in full blown panic mode and I can feel my fangs growing. I look down briefly and see that my claws are coming in too. This gives me an idea. I deliver a hard slap to Sheamus' face leaving claw marks on his cheek. He releases me automatically and I jump off of him, landing on the floor a few feet away from him. He grabs his injured cheek and smiles at me. "Okay, I guess I deserved that."
"Of course you deserved it," I exclaim. "What the hell?!" Sheamus stays seated and calmly begins to speak again.
"I'm sorry, lass. I should've taken it slower than that." What?! He should have taken it slower?!
"No! That's not it at all!" I take a deep breath trying to control myself because I can feel that my fangs and claws haven't retracted yet. "Sheamus, I'm in love with Dean." Did I really just say that?! Sheamus looks at me for a minute as if he's thinking about something.
"And he's in love with you?" That's none of his business, and not just because I don't know the answer to that question! I can't tell him that though. He'll only use it as a reason to keep making moves on me.
"Yes, he is." I'm going to have to explain this to Dean before Sheamus gets to him.
"I guess that means he's finally over Summer then." Wait, what did he just say?
"Who?"
"Oh, he hasn't told you yet?" What's that supposed to mean? What the hell is going on? "It's not really my place to tell, but Summer is Dean's ex. He almost marked her before she walked out on him. She was the love of his life too," Sheamus then gets up off the couch and walks past me, still holding on to his cheek. "But I'm sure a year is plenty of time to get over your first love." I look at the floor, absolutely devastated. There is never enough time to get over your first love! "Congratulations, lass. I'm sure he'll make you very happy." He walks over to the kitchen and leaves me in a world of my own twisted and confused thoughts. Is what Sheamus said true? What if I'm just Dean's attempt to get over Summer? What if Summer ever decided to come back? Would Dean go back to her, or would he want to be with me? I have too many questions, and there's only one person who can answer them.
