Goddess Bound

Humans and werewolves

I drift down the street my mind filled with a groggy haze as I do so. I watch my feet hit the sidewalk. The breeze freezing as it whips against my face as I breathe in i can only guess by looking at the sky and the way the air tastes it's going to snow soon. My White hair ripples in the wind i had it dyed recently I did it myself so it doesn't look the best. Tired and drained from a full day's work I make my way home. Near bye I hear and The old werewolf Hag down the street yelling at a boy who had broken her window with a basketball.

" I swear your species is incompetent as hell! This wouldn't have happened if you moved to grab it faster!" She all but screeches at him. The boy stammers " I ....i really didn't mean too I tried to catch it I swear!" Comments like what she had said to him are a daily occurrence for humans constantly in today's world. After passing the street I made it to my apartment building. I walk inside going up the stairs finally making it into my apartment. I flipped on the light switch but am only met with darkness. That's right I forgot people today can't afford electricity due to the werewolves skyrocketing prices. I work as a fast food worker The minimum wage is $3.00 an hour for humans that is.

Then again it depends on what your job is but most humans have it rough. I sigh as I light my candle sticks so I can see where I'm going. I make my way to my fire place passing the coffee table and the couch to the far side of the room I toss wood into the fireplace starting the fire after a few minutes of struggling with getting the fire started. Finally I walked to the couch flopping down exhausted from today. I sink into the couch cushions slightly as I drift off into a dreamless sleep at 10:00pm.

I wake up to find i'm still on the couch. What time is it? I wonder to myself as I glance at the clock on the coffee table. 8:45am.

"Oh s**t i'm late for work I dart off the couch running to my bedroom I yank off my clothes as fast as I can almost face planting when trying to stand on one foot to get the other leg of my pants off of me. I quickly put on my bra and then my work shirt and underwear and pants. I look frantically around for a pair of socks in my sock drawer. After 3 minutes of looking for matching socks I find my black pair and throw them on. I continue frantically looking for my shoes finally I find them under the coffee table and put them on.

I grab my phone dialing my boss's number. I tap my foot anxiously, He picks up of course. " Hey it's me Nala sorry i'm running a bit late for work today. He replies " Nala for f***s sake did you not get my message the store is closed today fuckstick. I found my mate and where are spending some alone time with each other today!" I make an oh face as I reply " Oh.... Okay see you next work day I guess" I mutter sheepishly. He sighs and I hear him mutter " stupid human pissing me off when I'm trying to spend time with my mate. I then proceed to hear his mate comfort him. " Bye Nala don't call for the next four days the store is closed so don't bother." He stays annoyed at me. He hangs up the phone. I gag at his mate " Comforting him" like are you serious right now.

I grumbled flopping back down on the couch. What am I supposed to do for the next four days dammit I needed that money!

I then lay on the couch staring at the ceiling. " oh crap the candles! I forgot to blow them out last night!" I quickly get up and check the candles. Of course they are ruined i'll need to go to the store now, I really hate going outside. I go to my bedroom throwing off my work shoes and changing into some more comfortable clothes.

I change into my black leggings and dark blue long sleeves shirt. I put on my black beanie and slip on my black boots. I grab my black leather jacket and no not that plastic leather crap. I mean real leather. My jackets ripped on the end of the sleeves and front of the jacket. It still works to keep me warm, I button it up. I put on my fuzzy grey gloves, one of the few nice things I own. I walk out of my bedroom grabbing my wallet on the coffee table and picking up and putting on my small backpack that's black with rose designs on it. The backpack's a bit worn but it still works. I grab my house keys putting my wallet and my keys in my back pocket. For some f*****g reason clothing designers don't make the front pockets of woman's clothing big enough to fit anything important in them.

I walk out of my apartment hearing the neighbors fighting again. " You cheating w***e how could you f*****g do this to me i'm your god damn husband!"

The woman replies her voice filled with shame " I'm sorry, I never meant to hurt you He's my mate! You and I aren't even supposed to be seeing each other due to the laws anyway!

The man angrily replies his voice filled with sorrow " I didn't want to do this!!" She screams in terror suddenly a gun shot echo's through the building.

" Oh f**k, Oh f**k what the Hell! That did not just f*****g happen." I think to myself locking my door quickly. I run down the hallway halling ass down the stairs and out the building. I run as fast as I can go untill i'm 2 blocks away from the apartment building. Well at least i'm close to the store now but what the actual f**k I just heard the man kill her!

I Text my Best friend who is also my neighbor. Her apartment is right next to mine.

Start of text messages.

Nala: Dude did you hear that s**t out neighbor just killed his wife!

Maria: omg yeah I heard the whole thing just called the police a few minutes ago too. Holy f**k i'm scared, i'm f*****g shaking Girl!

Nala: Dude I almost pissed myself running down the hall thought for sure he was going to come out of his apartment!

Maria: Cops are here now thank god. Oh s**t! Girl the cops have him in cuffs and s**t i'm watching from the window.

Nala: dude wtf. Well at least they caught him. A crime like that is gonna get him on death row dude!

Maria: I know Girl, just god damn ya know.

Maria: s**t gotta go I need to make a statement for the police and stuff.

Maria: bye chica catch ya later we gotta hang out and have a drink after that s**t.

Nala: yeah, definantly gonna need a drink now. Let me know how it goes.

Nala: bye Dude i'll text ya when I get home.

End of text messages.

Having been walking the entire time I was texting. I breath a sigh if disbelief. Holy hell that was f*****g crazy. I finally make it to the store walking inside i'm met with the warmth of the heater going in the store. I grab a basket walking to the Human section of the store. Looking at the candle section and grabbing 10 candle sticks. I hope that's enough to last, the candle sticks are 1 cent each. I walk around the human section picking out things I need like deodorant, toothpaste, and some bottled water. I also pick out some shampoo and condition and body wash not the fancy kind just the bars of soap. Looking through the ials I spot a bundle of fire wood for $5.00 " nice must be a sale " I thought quietly to myself.

I grab the fire wood making my way the the register to purchase my stuff. " Oh no the cashiers a werewolf dammit you got too be f*****g kidding me. Please dont let me be his mate.

Please dont let me be his f*****g mate!" I quietly internally panic. I look around unfortunately he's the only register open. "f**k" I think to myself as I walk up the the register setting my stuff on the conveyer belt.

Watching the stuff leech forward as I stand at the card reader awkwardly waiting to play for my stuff. I avoid his eyes. I can tell by the way he huffs at me thats hes not mated. He reaches forward tilting my head up to where I meet his eyes. He quickly pulls away like I burned him. " Thank god i'm not his mate." He sighs irritated that I'm not his mate. I awkwardly stair at him calming my inner panic. He breaks the silence " What the f**k are you looking at!" He snaps at me with hatred in his eyes.

" uh sorry, Nothing sir." I say to him."

He replies " Good now pay for your s**t and get the hell out of the store will you!" He snaps at me again. I then pay for my stuff quickly putting away my basket the bags of stuff clenched in my hands as I exit the store.

I breathe a sigh of relief once im outside alone. Thinking to myself once more " Didn't I have some liquor at home?" " I wonder what Maria is doing right now ?"

I continue walking until at last I reach the apartment building the police are still out side by the looks of it one of the police men probably carted off the man to prison already. I walk inside the building up the stairs toward my apartment.
