Chosen By The Gods

Operation Werewolf-phase one.

DAEMON'S POINT OF VIEW

“ So, where to? ” He asks as he stops in front of me, and I unlock the car and go to the driver's seat, stalling a little, making sure that I won’t stutter and be normal for once. 

* Yes, because staring at him, then not answer him immediately and walk away, makes you look really normal. Almost too normal. Damn, kid,your thinking can really amaze me sometimes. And that's something, considering that I'm immortal and not easy to amaze. *  Apollo mocks, making it pretty damn hard for me not to roll my eyes.

* I'm happy that you support me, Apollo. I don't know what I would do without you! *  I reply angrily, and he chuckles. Incredible.

* Always at your service, kid. " He mocks again, and I fall into temptation and roll my eyes. I reply angrily, and he chuckles. Incredible.

* Apollo, darling, I can barely function. Saying that my heart is racing would be an understatement, my lungs feel like they're failing me, I'm trying to hide the fact that I'm shaking, but I don't know how good that works, and I'm 5 seconds away from jumping him and mark him. So, will you give me a f*****g break??? * I growl as loud as I can in my head, and I'm pretty convinced that a vein will pop inside my head and I'll have a damn stroke as I hear the i***t muffling a laughter, but I try to ignore him, and take a big breath. I can't lose it and start yelling at Apollo and have Hunt think that I'm crazy, but God is my witness that the moment we'll be alone, I'll yell and listen to Metallica and Hard Rock for a f*****g damn week.

“ At the Mall. There’s a good pizzeria there. ” I say as I try to keep a smile on mhy face and an even voice after we both get in the car and buckle up.

* About food ... what will you eat for 2 days? * Apollo finally makes himself useful, and I panic.

“ That sounds good. ” Hunt says as I’m trying to find a solution to my problem and -unpanick-.

* I’ll text Elliot and ask him to do some shopping. I’ll have to stall a little, but I think we can manage. * I say the first solution that my poor brain found, and as I ignite the engine and start driving, both Apollo and I leave out a breath of relief.

The drive was spent by me showing him where the library is, or any building that it’s a little relevant. 

As soon as we arrived at the Mall, I park the car and get out FAST! Being with him in such a small space is harder than I thought.

“ I’ll have to make a call first, if that’s ok with you. ” I say as I lock the car, and he nods in approval.

I take my phone and call Elliot, who, thanks God answered right away.

“ Did something happened? ” Elliot asks worried, and I look around to see if he can hear me, but fortunately, he went ahead, so I'm in the clear.

“ No. Yes. s**t. Look, I need you to go and buy some groceries, and put them in the fridge. Hopefully we’ll spend 2 days there, and we don’t have nothing to eat or drink. ”

“ I’m on it. Should I call when I’m done? When I leave from there? ” He asks, and I nod, then I realize that he can’t see me.

“ Yes. You should be ready in about one hour and a half. ” I hang up and walk towards Hunt, who’s eyes are on me, turning my knees into water. I sure hope that I won’t trip and fall and make a bigger fool of myself than I already am.

* Damn Apollo, why the Hell do I feel like this? I mean, he’s my mate alright, but still … so damn intense? *

* You two are special, so everything that normal werewolves feel, you feel it 10 times more intense. * Apollo explains, and I almost cry at that. How the Hell will I be able to stop myself when I'll be alone with him in the same house?

* Holy s**t, I think it’s the first time when I hate being special. * And I really mean it. This is nerves wrecking.

* You’ll change your mind once you'll kiss him, or have s****l intercourse with him, not to mention when you’ll mark him. * Apollo puts the image of his full pink lips on mine in my already dirty mind, and all I can think of it's how good it would feel to bite them, kiss them for hours in a row, and-- 

“ Are you ok? ” His strong voice brings me back from my daze, and I realize that I stopped in front of him and I was staring at him, and the smirk on his face tells me that he enjoys the embarrassing situation. f**k! I bet that I'd put any tomato at shame right now.

“ Yes. I zone out sometimes. I’m ok. Let’s go. I’m hungry. ” I don’t wait for him to say something else, and I go ahead.

* Way to go! Keep it like this and he’ll run in 5 minutes. *

* FOR f*****g SAKE, APOLLO! SHUT UP! YOU TELL ME WHAT TO SAY, AND I’LL SAY IT, WAKE ME UP WHEN I’M STARING AT HIM! BUT YOU CAN’T, CAN YOU? BECAUSE YOU’RE AS LOST AS I AM! * I take a deep breath and wait for a comeback, but it doesn’t come. i***t!

We enter the pizzeria, and take a seat at one of the tables after we order.

“ So, did you decide if you want to be a part of the team? ” I ask as I’m doing my best not to look at his pink lips, and drool over him like a freak. AGAIN.

“ Yes. I think I will. ” He answers with a small smile, and I’m stuck. My mind is blank. I have no further questions.

* Apollo, a little help? *

* I don’t know. Ask him about his hobbies or something. *

* You’re not totally useless. * I say in an sarcastic voice, and he growls.

* Shut up and talk. * He says in an annoyed voice, and I do my best not to laugh.

* How the Hell is that? Shut up and talk? You have to pick one. * I bicker with him, and I bet on my life that he’s rolling his eyes.

“ Why are you smiling? ” Hunt asks with a smile of his own, and my smile fades in an instant.

* How do you use to say? Karma is a b***h? *  Apollo asks sarcastically, clearly enjoying the moment, and I would give him a comeback, mocking him for using foul words, but I'm too panicked. 

“ I remembered something that Elliot, my best friend said this morning. It happens to me a lot. ” He tilts his head to the right and looks at me with an amused, but also curious look on his face.

Damn, he’s beautiful. Or handsome? How do you compliment a man? Gorgeous? Holy f**k, I'm a wreck.

“ So, you zone out and smile by yourself. Any other interesting facts that I should know? ” YES! I’m a werewolf and so are you, I’m actually talking with the God of Wolves and he’s frustrating but also funny sometimes. And another few irrelevant facts, but yeah … can’t really say that now, can I?

“ I guess you’ll have to stick around and find out. I can’t disclose all my qualities in one day. ” I reply cockily and wiggle my eyebrows, and damn ...the most amazing thing in the world happened. He laughed!!!! The beautiful sound filled the pizzeria, and I can swear that something bloomed inside my body, because I feel ... happy, warm, and my heart feels like it ... overflows with bliss, peace, and, dare I say ... love? 

After a few moment in which I can swear that my eyes turned into hearts, I decide to look at the table, because I’m pretty sure that I’ll lose myself for good in him if I look at him one more second.

“ What about you? ” I ask after he calmed down, and the smile on his gorgeous face faded. His body tensed, his jaw clenched, and the spark that shone in his bright emerald eyes, extinguished, and was replaced by an instant wave of sadnes and nervousity.

“ Well, not so many qualities. More flaws. Anyway, let’s not talk about me. ” He saysin a pleading and nervous voice as he looks around the pizzeria, clearly trying to avoid my gaze.

* Apollo, can we kill his mom? *  I plead with an angry growl, hoping and praying that he'll say yes and we'll get down to business .

*No. * His answer almost has me yelling in frustration, but I manage to stop myself.

* Why? She made him believe that he’s sick, when he’s actually special. In a very good way.* The anger in my voice is laced with more anger, and I can feel my blood boiling in my veins, I can feel the rising need to shift and go hunting, but I try to restrain myself. He can't see me...fuck, nobody can see me like that! angrily,

* I’ll think about it. Ok? Now go back to our mate. * I don't know if he said this only to calm me down and avoid a disaster, or he meant it, but I choose to believe the latter so I won't shift in a mall.

“ Maybe your flaws are actually qualities. Have you thought about that? ” I ask, and he chuckles in disbelief.

“ They’re not,believe me .” He states with a serious expression and sadness in his voice, and as I want to contradict him, the waiter came with the pizza’s.

“ Bon Appetit. ” He says with a small smile, and he starts eating.

“ Bon Appetite. ” I answer, and regret that I even ordered something, because I don’t think I’ll be able to swallow anything.

The anger is not gone, and beside that, the view in front of me has my mouth dry and my body heat like the desert sun.

His full lips are shinning as he licks his lips after every bite, his pink tongue teasing my imagination, causing my jeans to get uncomfortably tight.

* You said that you’ll gonna die if you won’t eat a pizza, so dig in.* Apollo urges me in an amused voice, and I roll my eyes.

* I wish you were in my place. *  I reply annoyed, then  take a deep breath, and force myself to eat.

*Just try not to think that he’s next to you, breath through your mouth to avoid smelling his scent, and think about your mom. * Apollo advices me, and I make a disgusting grimace involuntarily.

* You’re damn disgusting, you know that? Think about my mom when I have a huge hard on? And when you think you’re a God! * Apollo starts laughing, and I let the pizza slice down. I can't. I just can't. This is too much.

“ What’s wrong? You don’t like it? ” Hunt asks and I shake my head.

“ It’s not that. I’m just not hungry. I think I’ve passed that faze when you’d eat anything, and now I just can’t swallow anything. Ever happened to you? ” 

* Dear Me! That’s the worst explanation I heard in my eternal life. You’re a damn disaster, kid. * 

* I know it's a f*****g stupid explanation, you don't have to tell me. But as we well know, we're getting pretty stupid around him. And if you didn't hear me right, I emphasized the word WE. " I snap back, and Apollo sighs in defeat. Yeah. Sucker.

“ Not really, but you can eat it later. I guess you’ll be hungry again. ” He says in an amused tone, and I nod.

* He definitely thinks you’re a freak. Nice job. * Apollo scolds, and I sigh hard. This is exhausting.

* Please give me a break. I’m trying here! * Now I'm the one that sighs in defeat.

* Ohhh you learned how to say please. My annoying baby boy is growing up. How sweet. *Apollo says mockingly, and I roll my eyes.

“ Rolling your eyes. ” Hunt states as he continues eating.

“ What? ” I ask confused, and he smiles, melting me from inside out again.

“ You’re zoning out, you're smiling and you roll your eyes. ” He counts on his fingers and chuckles.

* Great, just f*****g great Apollo!!! He’ll run away any minute now! * I yell in my head at Apollo, and he chuckles. i***t. I'll see how amused he'll be when Hunt will reject me for being retarded. 

“ So, how is your pizza? ” I ask to change the subject, and Apollo start laughing like the i***t he is.

* You're getting smoother and smoother every passing day, kid.* He mocks, and I literally force my eyes not to roll at the back of my head and probably get stuck there forever and ever, then bite my lip not to say any other stupid things.

“ Nice try to change the subject. Not so smooth though. ” Hunt says, and laughs softly. Damn, he’s gorgeous.

* Told you. * Apollo says smugly, throwing in my face once again the fact that he's all knowing and I'm just a poor human.

* God damn it Apollo, you’re ruining our … whatever this is. Shut up. * I demand angrily, but also pleadingly, because I'll f*****g die if he goes away.

“ I tried. You have to give me some credit for that. ” Hunt laughs out loud, and I chuckle. His laugh makes me melt into a puddle.

* Everything about him makes you melt. * Apollo mocks me, and I almost fall and snap, but I have a better idea.

* About Morrigan. You still didn't tell me why you're so protective and-- * I don't get to finish my question, because Apollo interrupts me with a frustrated groan.

* Yeah, yeah, yeah. Shut up. *  I bite my inner cheek hard and try not to laugh, but I still glow internally. 2-0 for Daemon!

At his last piece of pizza, I become impatient, because Elliot hasn’t called.

“ So, what’s next? ” Hunt asks and looks at me expectantly, but my brain stopped functioning again.What's next? What the f**k is next?

* A drive. * Apollo says fast, saving my ass for once.

“ There’s a very nice park not far from here. There’s always someone playing ball. We could go there. ” A walk in the park. Can I be more gay than that? Ok, I am gay, my mate is a guy. But I don’t think he is gay. I don’t know if he’s attracted to me yet. What if he’ll never be? f**k!

* He's your mate, he will be. Even now I can feel he's intrigued and attracted to you. *  Apollo manages to calm my nerves a little, and I let a breath of relief. I sure hope he's right.

“ We could go. ” He finishes his pizza, cleans his gorgeous mouth, making me drool again, but I snap out of it quickly as I remember that Elliot still hasn't called. 

We start walking outside towards my car, and I make sure that we're walking slowwwww, as slowwww as possible.

"Look, that cloud looks like a bunny!" I exclaim as I look towards the sky, where there's no f*****g bunny, and I almost give in and laugh at the sudden burst of Apollo.

" Where? " Hunt asks as he looks up as well, and Apollo laughs even harder. "

"I think it hopped away!" I blur out before I get the chance to consult with my brain, making Apollo laugh hysterically and Hunt looking at me a little confused, amused, and concerned.

" It hopped away? " He asks amused, and Apollo tries to say something, but he can't due to the hysterical laughter.

"I mean, it vanished. Turned into another shape. Ok, not shape, 'cause not it's shapeless. " I give the best explanation that my melted brain came up with.

Don't judge, no human on this planet would be able to think clear with those green eyes boring into my soul, those full lips that are curled into a sweet smile and calling for me to devour them, and his short and messy hair that screams for me to run my fingers through it and tug on it as I deepen the kiss that my whole being is craving f--

" You're something else... " He trails off as he looks at me with a smile that reaches his eyes, and my heart swells in my chest so hard that I'm pretty positive that my ribs will crack open and my heart will fall into his hands where it belongs, but still.

A wave of heat washes through my body, starting from the tip of my toes to my cheeks, most probably turning them red.

I turn and look away from him, as I start walking to the car again, at the same slow pace, but this time is because my knees are very weak and are threatening to turn into jelly.

I stretch a little before I unlock the car, and I see that Hunt is looking at me suspiciously, but f**k me dead if I know another way to stall. 

Reluctantly, I get in the car, pretend that I struggle with the seatbelt, and, as I have no other reason to stall, I finally ignite the engine. I look at Hunt who's looking at me expectantly, and as I'm about to put the car in drive, my phone calls. Elliot! THANKS f**k!!!!

* You better use your acting skills at maximum Daemon. * No s**t.

“ Daemon, you have to go by the cabin right away! ” Elliot says in a loud voice, and I hope that Hunt can't hear him, because man can tell that it's acting. And it's f*****g bad.

“ Why? ” I answer, trying to sound worried. I hope I sounded worried. 

“ The alarm went off. I think someone broke in. ” f**k, his voice sounds like he's reading from a piece of paper.

“ What? Someone broke in? ” I repeat the question, sounding shocked and angry. Why didn't I take drama classes in high-school? 

* Probably because you were to busy having s****l intercourse with every walking, living female. *  Apollo says in a monotone voice, and I flip him off. In my head, but the fucker knows it.

“ That’s what the alarm said. ” Elliot answers dryly. Very bad actor. Terrible. Horrendous. Horrible. 

“ Ok, thanks. I’m on my way. ” I hang up and look at Hunt, who looks at me with a worried look.

“ What’s wrong? ” His voice mirrors his expression, and I take a deep breath and hope for the best. I can do it.

“ We have a cabin in the woods, and the alarm went off. Maybe someone broke in. I have to go and check it. It seems we’ll have to go to that park another day. Now, tell me where you live so I can drive you home. ” I say ,hoping and praying that he’ll offer to come with me.

“ You can’t go alone. It may be dangerous. I’m coming with you. ” I advert my gaze and look straight ahead, and bite my inner cheek to stop the smile that’s begging to form on my face, from forming.

“ Are you sure? ” I ask, and Apollo growl in annoyance.

* Are you really that stupid??? You want him to change his mind? Drive already! * Apollo scolds in an incredulous voice, and I have to admit that it was pretty stupid of me to ask him that.

“ Yes. Let’s go .” He answers in a confident voice, and I let out a breath of relief, thank God that he didn’t change his mind, then start driving towards the cabin.

I turn on the music, because I have no clue what to say, and I’m grateful that he doesn’t seem to notice how awkward I’m acting.

I feel his gaze on me, and I take a glance at him. He quickly looks out the window and I smile.

* Yes, he was looking at you. And yes, he is blushing right now. Even though you almost blew it. Dear Me, I feel sorry for the kid that he’s your mate. * He can say anything he wants. After he told me that he’s blushing, I haven’t heard a thing.

I can't wait to see if he's as attracted to me as I am to him. God, I hate those pills. I’ll throw them so far away that no one will ever find them.
