Cian had finally gotten me to get out of bed and made me eat something. I became a little wary around him. That whole knew-you-before feeling was creeping me out a little. So, as I nibbled on the toast with butter he had made me (that was pretty much all I felt like eating at the time) he kept staring at me. Intently. Really intently.
I kept shifting uncomfortably under his gaze until he finally got the clue and shook himself out fo his thoughts.
“Sorry.” was all he mumbled. Couldn’t blame him. I felt the same way. We went from flirty to depressed in a matter of hours.
“How’s Ava doing?”
Cian chuckled lightly at my comment, “Yeah I didn’t exactly want you to meet her. She gets a little weird around mortals.”
I smiled and let a quiet chuckle escape me. That was when I began to think about how I was going to stay here for a while. I mean, Cian had told me that I could stay as long as I wanted, but I couldn’t help but think that he might get a little suspicious when no one tried to contact me or if I didn’t bother to try to contact anyone.
A sigh escaped me and caused Cian’s attention to turn back to me sharply. I blushed a little at his concern for me. It was still strange that we barely knew each other and yet we felt as though we had never spent a minute apart.
Ugh, I really have to stop thinking so deeply on these things...I could end up getting an aneurism.
I stood up and mumbled something about taking a shower before walking out leaving the half eaten toast on the counter of the amazingly big kitchen that I hadn’t really paid attention to. I just knew that it was big.
I half-stumbled back to my room, my thoughts were somewhere else right now.
Winry...
I jumped. Why in God’s name was he calling me just as I was going to take a shower. I had just taken my clothes off for cripe’s sakes! He had a way with timing things when they were at their most perverted. I sighed and opened the connection to talk to the perv.
What do you want? I was just about to take a shower so hurry it up.
........Really? I wonder if I could access your eyes from this connection. Do me a favor stand in front of a mirror.
NO I WILL NOT YOU SICK-a** VAMPIRE!!!
Okok!! Don’t shout!! Did you find anything out yet?
I stood there for a second to gather my thoughts before answering.
No, nothing that has to do with vampires or attacking them.
Hm...Have you felt strange lately? Any kind of weird feeling that made you wonder something?
I didn’t know if I wanted to tell Nate about the whole crying thing and the moment that me and Cian had shared. What if he was the bad guy. Then again, it could go either way, but for now I liked Cian better. I’ll tell Nate a half-truth, then maybe I can figure out what was going on.
Yeah, it was like I had seen something before or been in a specific room before, but I would have remembered that.
There was no answer for a while.
I’ll look into it...
But what is it?
I thought that I had sensed something when I had opened up the connection between us. I didn’t know if it would stay dormant or surface. I look through what I collected from your memories to see if there’s something there...
Ok......YOU HAVE MY MEMORIES??!
Yes. And I do say that I will not need you to stand in front of a mirror now...loving the birthmark...
My frustration rose, he was thinking of my– well you don’t need to know where the birthmark is. But somehow I found this situation a little funny. Don’t ask me why. I might have been delirious from the lack of food. Yeah, that sounds good, let’s go with that.
Fuming I broke the contact and ignored Nate’s pleading nudges at talking to me again. I knew he could force his way into my mind if he wanted to, but I liked the fact that he was at least asking permission now.
I took my shower rather angrily and sat on my bed refreshed and in new pjs. I know I’ve mentioned this a hundred times before, but it was still sinking in. I was in the supernatural world now. I was being employed by a vampire to spy on a werewolf.
Just thinking that sentence made me think of a psychiatrist having a field day with me. I gave out a groan/heavy sigh (I could have just said exasperated sigh, but that didn’t sound just right). And flopped onto my bed.
“I didn’t kidnap you ya’know.” I jumped and turned my head to see Cian leaning on the doorway, smiling a little.
I smiled back and buried my face in the sheets, the way you do when you’re embarrassed, “I know.” I heard him push off of the door and he jumped onto the bed next to me. The bed sprung me up a little, turning me to face him slightly and making me let out a little squeal. Cian looked at me as if I had six eyes.
“Was that you or the bed?” I buried my face into the sheets, again, but this time it was so I didn’t blush. His laugh filled my ears and I flung my arm out blindly to smack him playfully. Finally a little ‘smack’ was heard and then all was quiet.
Fearing him to be angry I peeked up from the sheets only to laugh into them. Cian had a oh-no-you-did-not-just-hit-me-and-I-will-so-get-you-back look on his face. Just to see his handsome features screwed up in that manner...oh it was priceless.
“Are you sure that you are the leader of the werewolves?”
“Lycans.” I looked at him strange for a minute.
He sighed and spoke again, “the term we prefer is lycans. Werewolf sounds too Hollywood. Too childish.”
“Ahh.”
“And yes, I am sure that I am the leader.”
“Uh-huh...” I said playfully. He smiled broadly and turned to me. “I think you’re a big softie.”
His eyes went wide with fake shock and he looked around quickly, “How did you know?” I laughed again and he smiled wider. I loved his smile. It was so– so– well, I just can’t explain it.
“But I thought the thing about the alpha males and all that...”
He nodded in understanding, “Well, that’s all true. The strongest is the alpha male.” Cian paused to flex his muscles while I giggled again, then he became serious, “but that doesn’t mean that I have to act strong all of the time. The pack knows what I am capable of and they respect me for it. I also have to be the kind of...nurturing father that the new lycans need. When they come to us they need guidance and I give them just that.”
I didn’t realize that I had been staring at Cian until he reached out and brushed another lock of hair that had fell out of place. I felt myself blush.
UGH! DAMN YOU REDNESS!
I got the butterflies in the stomach feeling again and that deja vu feeling as well. Cian obviously felt it too because his eyes seemed to look at me but not take me in...like he was deep in thought.
Suddenly he stood up and held out his hand to me.
“Come on I want to show you something...”
