The Werewolf's Odd Mate

Chapter Eight

Scarlett’s POV

Gram walked out of her room, stretching her arms and smiling like a lunatic.

"Gram I think you should rest for now" I commented looking at my cereal.

She smiled and pinched my cheek forcefully, "But I feel great."

I swatted her hand away and rolled my eyes. "Okay whatever."

Tyler ran down stairs, his grey eyes glanced at Gram then me. We stared at each other for a couple of seconds before he broke a smile.

"What" I asked stuffing my mouth with fruit loops.

"You eat like a pig" he responded laughing.

"Shut up" I rolled my eyes annoyed and smacked the back of his head.

He rubbed the back of his head and glared at me "I'm going to get you back Scarlett."

I stuck my tongue out and pulled the sides of my lips with my fingers, "Bring it on Ugly."

"You’re a hypocrite" he served himself cereal and began eating calmly.

I lowered my hands, "How?"

He smiled "Because you’re hideous. I'm only ugly, but your face hideous. "

I glared at him, "And this is why I hate you."

He smiled and blew a kiss towards me, "I love you too Scarlett."

I laughed before eating my cereal again. Lui came running down the stairs, laughing all the way.

"Tyler, Tyler did you know that humans can't breathe in outer space. And aliens exist" Lui stated as if this was important information.

Tyler rolled his eyes, "Okay why do I need to know this?"

I reached over and pinched his arm, he turned to look at me with a mad expression on his face.

"What the hell Scarlett?" His grey eyes were filled with anger.

I smiled, "Don't talk to Lui like that."

Tyler rubbed his forearm, muttering something under his breath.

Lui turned to stare at me then Gram, a wide smile formed on his thin lips.

"Gram," he ran up to her and wrapped his arms around her legs.

Gram ruffled his hair and smiled, "Yeah darling, I feel fine."

'I love days like this.'

'Yeah me too, I wonder when they’re going to shift' Cat pondered.

'Well Tyler's birthday is coming up and he's going to be turning 14.'

'Wow Tyler is already going to be shifting, are you nervous?'

'Yeah, when I shifted, Liz was there for me but no one is going to be there for Tyler."

A small hand waved in front of my eyes, I blinked a couple of times before looking at the small figure.

"Honey, can you throw out the trash?" Gram's soft voice filled my ears.

"Yeah, I'll do it now" I lazily got up and reached for the plastic bag. I hate doing this.

'Stop complaining ' Cat's voice filled my head.

'You don't understand the struggle, you’re a damn cat.'

‘First of all your also a cat and second of all your throwing trash away its less than 20 feet from you.’

I walked out the door and a foul scent hit my sensitive nose.

Cat growled inside my head and I looked around for the owner of the scent.

"Rouge" my whole body went stiff. Tyler stood next to me her eye brows were scrunched up and his lips tugged downward into a frown the look of utter disgust.

"You can smell that" I asked, my voice wary in the end.

He nodded his head, the look didn't leave his face. Our eyes scanned the backyard that led to the woods.

We didn't see anything but the smell was so strong, the rouge had to be near us. It was hiding, from who I have no idea but the fact that an emotionless beast was hiding in my backyard made me feel scared.
