Kieran held Nora by the hand and told her to run as fast as she could, immediately the got the Kieran car, Nora had spent the last twenty minutes trying not to look at him. It wasn't working she sat rigidly in the passenger seat of Kieran car, both hands wrapped around her phone even though the screen had gone dark several minutes ago.
Rain hammered the windshield, the wipers moved back and forth in a steady rhythm, it is going to be a very long and strange night, Kieran drove without saying a word, his face was unreadable his knuckles were still streaked with blood some of it belonged to him some of it didn't.Nora swallowed, she could still see the thing he'd done in her apartment, the speed, the strength, those eyes, the claws, the way his entire body had changed.She turned toward the window telling herself not to look at him again but she couldn’t, she still found herself looking at him because she is yet to understand the creature sitting by her side.Kieran caught her staring, their eyes met Nora immediately looked away you're afraid of me, His voice was quiet. What is there not to be afraid of, you frighten me to my bones she answered in all honesty , then Nora asked the question that had been burning inside her since they left her apartment. What are you?
Kieran's jaw tightened, you already know, everything that happened in your apartment, a man doesn’t do that right but I would explain once the time is right, it’s a bit complicated.
Everything with you is complicated she turned toward him, you show up at my apartment in the middle of the night knowing my name, you tell me my mother isn't dead, a monster attacks me then you tell me I'm your mate.
Kieran flinched almost imperceptibly.
And when I ask what you are, you tell me it's complicated she shook her head, I don't know whether I should be terrified of you or angry at you.
You should be both Nora went still.
Kieran's hands tightened around the steering wheel because if you knew everything about me,he said quietly, you wouldn't be sitting this close to me.
She stared at him. What does that even mean?
He didn't answer. Instead, he turned off the main road.
