26. Eclipse Born
I wake up in a strange positing.
I can feel my back against the rough bark of a tree but
my head against something else and something warm
is wrapped around my neck, holding me gently.
My eyes flutter open as sunlight tickles my skin, I see
the trees and shrubs around.
Strange, where' did the fire go? Why the hell am I not
in my sleeping bag?
With clouds of confusion in my head, I look at the
human limb around my neck. The events of last night
flood in my head. Oh…
Carefully unwrapping Luke’s arm from around me, I
pull back, my eyes fall on his face. Goddess, he looks
exhausted.
Mindlessly, my eyes travel down to his very bare front
and before they could go further down, realization hits
me hard.
I jump to my feet and sprint back towards the camp.
Once back, I slap my hands on my burning cheeks.
Oh my moon, oh my moon, oh my fucking moon.
Thank universe I didn’t see anything! I’d have died from
embarrassment at the spot!
Why the hell didn’t he have a shirt on?!
Mostly when werewolves or Lycans shift, they take off
their clothes or they rip apart. Since no one wants to
shift back in their birth suit, packs arrange a witch to
enchant some clothes on us. So when we shift back,
we can save our decency.
Wait…
My hand falls on my pocket, feeling the silver key.
I have to go back to give him this?!
Unbidden, blood rushes to my face. I shake my head
vigorously. No way am I going there.
But if I don’t go, how the hell will Luke be unlocked?!
The chain is unbreakable!
With a groan, I bump my forehead against a tree. Why
me universe?
Okay, I can do this, the moment I see a speck of him,
I’ll throw the key and run away. Yeah, I can do this.
Pumping myself up with motivation, I start towards
the spot where' Luke is.
Keeping my eyes as closed as possible without tripping
and quite possibly cracking my skull against a rock. I
see a hint of wavy hair, a shade of brown so dark it’s
almost black.
“Luke?” I call from behind a tree
A moment later, a raspy voice reaches me “The key,
Hazel.”
I huff. Asshole.
I toss the key in his direction and breathe a sigh of
relief. Only, its cut short by a familiar voice.
“You threw it too far.”
Something between a whine and a groan leaves my
mouth as I stomp my foot in annoyance.
