The Beast within

Chapter 23 meeting his parents

Jake's P.O.V 

The next morning I woke up really early, I couldn't sleep, I was way too excited to see Casey and for her to meet my parents, I just know they are going to love her. I know it was really early, but I just wanted to, no I needed to see her, so I decided to text her.

Me: Hi Casey, I'll be on my way in a few hours.

  Typing….typing….typing….

Casey: Hi Jake, I'll be ready, see you soon.

  Even if my parents were still sleeping I was wide awake and needed to feed. I hurried into the woods and found an unsuspecting deer to feed on, after I was done I hurried back home. I jumped into the shower, making sure there was no blood on me. Once I had finished I got out, dried off and quickly got dressed in blue jeans and a button up blue shirt. I went downstairs to the kitchen to get coffee and my mom was already up. 

  "Hey mom, Casey is coming today to meet you, I hope you're ok with this." I asked, keeping my fingers crossed. 

  "That is wonderful honey, I'll get your dad up and going, by the time you get back he'll be up." My mom said, smiling at me.

  "Alright, well I'm heading out mom." I replied, hugging her and then I left to go get Casey. As soon as I got to the gates, the guard let me inside, again we nodded to each other and I pulled up to the pack house. Ten minutes later and Casey came out with a smile and my jaw nearly hit the floor. WoW she looks beautiful. She was wearing skinny jeans with a white lacy top and was wearing flats. I got out of the car, opening the passenger door for her and she got inside, I shut the door and hurried to the driver's side and got in. I drove off and 45 minutes later we were at my house. I pulled up to the long driveway, the garage had many cars inside even a motorcycle and when we got out of the car, Casey looked straight at the motorcycle. 

  "Is that Harley Davidson?" She asked and I nodded.

  "Yes, it's mine. If you want to go on a ride with me later we will." I replied and her eyes lit up.

  "Yes I would love to." She said and I grinned my best toothy white smile. I took her hand and we walked into the house. I knocked on my dad's office door and when I heard dad say come in, we both walked inside. 

  "Dad, I would like for you to meet Casey, Casey this is my dad Lucas." I said, introducing them just as my mom walked in, carrying a flower.

  "And this is my mom Faith." I continued, my mom came forward, giving Casey the little mini pink rose and placed it in Casey's hair, then hugged her. Casey's eyes lit up,

  "Wow thank you for the rose Mrs Faith, I love it and it's very nice to meet you Mr. Lucas." Casey said, her eyes lighting up. My dad stood up and shook her hand.

  "It's very nice to meet you as well Casey, Jake told us about your parent's, I'm really sorry." My dad said and Casey's smile faded, but she tried to perk up.

  "Thank you Mr Lucas, but I'm not the victim here my parents were, I won't let anyone say that I was claiming to be a victim." Casey replied and my dad nodded. 

  "You are a brave young lady Casey, I'm sure your parents would have been proud." My day said, I cleared my throat and all eyes turned to me. 

  "Casey wants to take a ride on my bike, so we'll be heading out." I said, trying to get Casey all to myself and my parents both nodded.

  ""be safe and remember to drive responsible." My mom shouted after us, as we headed out of the office and into the garage.

  "Alright, let me get on first and then you." I said, swinging my legonver to the other side and Casey got on after me. I started it up and off we went.

  Casey's P.O.V 

  The wind was blowing through our hair and lucky for me, I decided earlier to put my hair up in a ponytail. We drove around curves, he went down a curvy road and then stopped at a trail. We got off the bike and he held my hand, facing me.

  "I'm glad you came over today." Jake said, looking deep into my eyes. He kept a hold of my hand as we walked down a nature trail and came to a huge tree, Jake looked up at it and then looked back at me.

  "Do you trust me?" Jake asked, out of the blue and I looked confused. 

  "You haven't done anything for me not to trust you." I replied, honestly and he nodded, turning his back to me. 

  "I want you to grab a hold of me and hang on, we are going up." Jake said, I was stunned, he has got to be kidding, right?

  "You can't do that, I'll be too heavy and you won't be able to climb while I'm on your back." I replied, looking up at the huge tree, but he softly laughed.

  "Could a guy try and impress his girl?" Jake said, causing me to chuckle. 

  "Sure you can, but you're not having me on your back climbing that tree." I replied and all he could do was laugh.

  "Alright, you win." Jake said, I smiled and we carried on walking down a small path. There were rabbits hopping around, we even saw a deer or two and stopped to watch them eat for a bit. We decided it was time to head back to the bike and when we got there we got on and drove to my house.
