Torn

Chapter 7

Danika

Sleep evades me as I lie wrapped in the silk sheets of Greys bed. With an arm thrown across my stomach, Grey snores softly. He found sleep soon after we finished, normally s*x doesn’t wear him out that quickly but mixed with me feeding from him and he will be out till early morning. The moon shown through the window casting light across the ceiling, it called to my shifter side. I moved out from under Greys arm finding his discarded shirt from dinner, buttoning it most of the way up I walked over to the floor length window and pulled the curtains aside. The moon was bright in the sky, not full yet about another week, I could feel it causing a tightening in me. All the shifters could, it was apart of us, the moon cycles had different effects on us, the closer to it being Full the more restless and aggressive we became. It caused us to be more territorial and more fights broke out amongst us and the other Factions. Never anything to serious but I imagine it was an annoyance for our leaders and teachers to deal with. An itch ran along my skin, my wolf wanting to be let lose and run. I checked the clock on the table next the bed. One in the morning, I didn’t feel like sleep was coming anytime soon anyway and the run might help with that. Shifters were not usually aloud out alone to go running around but as long as I stayed in the perimeter of the Academy there usually were no issues with shifters needing to stretch their legs or run off some steam. I relaxed at the feel of the crisp night air in my lungs and cool grass under my bare feet. Already feeling more relaxed I walked to the edge of the tree line before removing Greys shirt that was down to my knees. And setting it down. I felt the good kind of pain that comes with stretching muscles as my body began shifting, bones popping in the best way as my body took to my wolf form. Shifting was never painful for us, our first time can definitely be scary or uncomfortable but never painful. I landed on all paws feeling wild and took off through the dark woods, though my eyes were adjust to the darkness and I saw small creatures running through the underbrush and up trees. My heart speed up as my wolf felt happy and free running.  We stayed out later than we should of but I felt a sense of contentment as I made my way back to the Academy. There was no reason for me returning to Grey’s room and possible waking him up. I moved up the stairs towards the female dorms, everything is quiet assuming everyone is still asleep at this hour. Just as I am coming up on my room a door down the hall opens and I hear giggling. I turn towards the noise stopping by my door. “Come back anytime handsome, I had a great time.” A Vamp girl, I think her name was Stacie said to a guy whose back was to me. “Sure.” He said turning towards me. He was in a dark grey t-shirt and sweat pants, Our eyes meet and I swore his darkened a shade. He held my gaze continuing to walk towards me. “Your up late.” I stated to him. He stopped a few feet away. “Looks like you are too, though It would seem you had a dirtier time then I did.” He said with the beginning of a smirk on his mouth. My brows went up in question causing his mouth to fully smile he looked away briefly running his tongue along his bottom lip. My eyes moved down to his mouth following the action. “You’ve got dirt on your feet.” He said turning his gaze back to me. I looked down at my bare feet that was in deed covered in dirt from my run. “I went for a run.” I answered not sure why I felt the need to defend my attire. His smile grew larger and something in my stomach tightened. “Hmm The shifter Prince doesn’t know how to satisfy?” His voice dripped with humor. I turned my head at the comment wonder what he thought he was doing. “Are you trying to flirt with me?” I asked narrowing my eyes. “I am mated, and a shifter, you are so very far out of your league.” I finished. He shook his head letting out a deep laugh that snaked around me. “My apologies Danika, was it I didn’t mean to offend you, just offering my services if your in need of them.” It was my turn to laugh. “I highly doubt you’d know what to do with a shifter.” I said turning to open my door. I looked over my shoulder to see him staring at my ass. “Hey!” I growled at him. His eyes snaped to mine and he raised a black brow at me. “Good Night Niki.” He said continuing to move down the hall. Something stirred low in my stomach at the nickname, no one else has ever called me. Whatever I thought shutting my door before falling into my bed. Sleep finally taking me. I dreamed of running through the woods being chased by something I couldn’t see. 

Rush

I tossed and turned a rock sitting heavy in my stomach causing me not to be able to sleep. I looked at the moon out my window. Laughing at the idea that vampires can not be in sunlight and sleep through the days, a lie vampires made up, allow humans to ignore us during the day. Humans were terrified of vampires but welcomed the thought of shifters being around them at all times. Shifters. My mind wondered back to the curvy red head Id met at diner a few hours ago for the fiftieth time tonight. I tried to go to sleep but the memory of the sound of her voice still tingled on my skin and the thought of her arousal, the scent of her. I through my legs off the bed and stood. I had to get this chick off my mind. Not only was she a shifter but she was matted. I shock my head wondering why this chick was turning me into a b***h. I pulled my phone out and texted the girl from earlier, Staci I thought as I shot a quick text to her, hoping she would help me with the ever growing problem I was facing. She responded instantly and I took off out of my room.     I was still unsatisfied as I walked out of her room, Staci running her hand up my chest filling me with the urge to smack it away. “I had a great time.” She giggled. “Sure.” I answered turning away from her ready to trudge back to my room. Until I caught sight of the cause of my frustration right in front of me. f**k she was wearing nothing but a dress shirt with the top two buttons undone. I felt myself harden slightly at the sight of her bare tan legs. Her hair looked like she had just got done having a good f*****g. Though I knew her and the Prince was going back to his room for that very reason the sight of it so freshly on her made anger stir through me. That feelings new I told myself as I drew closer to her. I had plans to keep walking but then she spoke to me and her voice caused all anger to vanish. “ Your up late.” She said her voice silky. First thing out of my mouth was a s****l joke about her dirty feet. Her eyebrows knitted together in confusion, either she was too innocent to hear the come on, which I doubted by her tousled hair, or she didn’t realized how rough they’d apparently gotten. “There is dirt on your feet.” I informed her with a smirk ,part of me really wishing for the innocents things. She looked down and wiggled her foot before responding. “I went for a run.” My smile grew as I wondered what kind of men would have something like her in his bed and leave her capable of walking after much less needing a run. The prince doesn’t know how to treat a women like her. I couldn’t help asking her about it, I also couldn’t help the laugh in my words as I said it. “Hmm The shifter Prince doesn’t know how to satisfy?” A fire lite in her eyes as she turned her head and told me off. It was hot as hell. If I didn’t know better she was challenging me to take care of her better then he did. The she turned away from me giving me the wonderful view of her ass. If I was less of a man I would be brought to my knees from that sight alone. “Hey!” she growled at me, and I’d be damned if my d**k didn’t flinch in my pants. I arched my brow at her wondering if she had noticed. I figured it was best for me to go to my room and take care of it myself before she beat my ass. “Goodnight Niki.” I said turning down the hall. It’s been years since I have had to jerk off but here I was in my shower taking care of myself at the thought of her perfect ass and the idea of her smart mouth wrapping around me had me coming undone. I drifted to sleep with my hair still wet dreaming of running in the woods chasing after something I couldn’t see.
