Moon Kissed

chapter 10

He looked at me for what seemed like forever trying to find where to start. He shifted uncomfortably and then asked me his first question.

“Did you jump off the falls?” He asked, raising an eyebrow at me.

The corner of my mouth lifted into a small smirk and I shook my head no.

He rolled his eyes and let out a hefty sigh.

“Shocker..” He mumbled and I felt my face heat up.

I cleared my throat before he asked his next question.

“So if you didnt jump how did you get in the water?”

Shit! How much do I tell him?

“Umm.. well..” I started.

His eyes looked into my soul. I felt absolutely at his mercy with those piercing eyes.

I breathed in deep and let it out.

“Look, It's a long story…”

“Okay. then begin at the start” He stated like it was no big deal.

I couldnt even look up at his gorgeous eyes so I just sat and fiddled with my hands.

“I was taken from my pack at a young age…”

“How old?” He asked, interrupting me.

“8” I replied and I heard him inhale sharply.

I watched him to see how he was taking that news.

“Who took you?” He asked and I saw that his eyes flashed for a split second.

I shrugged, “Im not sure. Rogues I guess.”

I heard him let out a disapproving grunt. He truly hated rogues I guess.

“When I was 8, a group of rogues attacked my family. I was caught and taken back with them… I was there for 10 years befo-”

“Hold on… did you say 10 years?!” He yelled and I felt myself cower away from him.

I nodded and I felt the anger growing from him.

He sighed and looked back at me.

He didn't say anything but I knew he wanted me to continue.

“It was 10 years before I was able to escape. That was when I ended up on the falls. They weren't too happy with me so they fought with me and I was pushed over into the water”.

“Why did they want to kill you.” He asked and his voice wasn't a question. It unnerved me.

“Well.. The alpha of the group wanted me as his mistress..”

I couldnt even finish when I heard a deep growl that made me back away quickly. His eyes turned pitch black and I saw his wolf surging forward. I gasped and scooted off the bed. The loud thump must have drawn him out because he ended up shaking his head and his steel eyes were back on me.

“I am so sorry.. Are you okay?” He asked as he reached over to help me up.

I nodded and pushed myself up and pushed his hand away. I didnt need some moody guy trying to help me.

“You know that if you want to know the truth then you gotta stop acting like this…” I said it before I could think about it.

I saw the hurt flash through his face quickly before he brushed it off.

“I know. Sorry..” He said.

I took a deep breath and sat back on the bed. I still couldnt look into his eyes but I felt… better about opening up some.

“What did they do to you Nicole?”

His voice was full of raw pure emotions. Anger, hurt, curiosity.

I sighed and looked up at him. For the first time after speaking about this our eyes met.

He tried to read me but I couldnt bring myself to say it.

I shook my head and the only thing I could say to answer him was, “I cant. Please.”

He looked down and nodded his head in understanding. He got up and began to walk away.

“Youre leaving?” I asked and I hated how upset I sounded at this.

“I think you need some rest and I should probably get back to work. I will make sure that someone comes to check on you later. If you need anything just holler.”

He finished talking but never once turned to face me. He opened the door and walked out without another glance back at me. My heart ached at the thought.

Perfect now he thinks im damaged.
