“Anna stop.”
I didn’t listen, I kept trying to push him, tears were starting to sting my eyes. I just have to get out.
“Anna stop!” He orders as he grabs my shoulders.
“No! I want to leave!” I fight.
“Stop acting like a child!”
“Let me out of the damn bathroom!” I yell while ripping out of his tempting touch.
“Would you quit being such a brat!”
Before I knew it my hand collided with his cheek, the sound rang through my ears. I turned away and started to cry. What am I doing! Who am I? I just hit Tyler!
More and more tears streamed down my cheeks as I crouched down. I’m a monster!
I turned around but Tyler wasn’t there, I immediately looked down the hall but it was clear. I ran back to the hospital room and swung the door open, he wasn’t there…
“Anna what happened?” Katy freaks as she stares at me in this state.
I don’t even answer, I just leave and run back down the hallway to the front waiting room.
“Anna!” Katy calls as she runs after me.
I want Tyler! I want him to hold me and tell me everything will be okay, I want him to tell me I’ll always have him, I want him to protect me! All I need is him, I love him.
I sprint out the door into the cool night.
“Tyler! Tyler, I’m sorry! Please!” I cry into the night sky. “Please, I need you!”
An arm pulls me into a hug and rubs my back, Katy. I cry on her shoulder while I mumble all about how I hit him and he left. She strokes my hair and rocks back and forth.
“Anna lets go home okay? He’s probably at home.”
I burst through the door and sprinted up the stairs. I couldn’t smell him, I couldn’t smell him, I couldn’t smell him! I swung our bedroom door open and my heart sunk, he wasn’t here.
“Is he up there?!” Katy calls from downstairs.
“No.” I weakly yell back. He wasn’t here, I couldn’t smell him, where did Tyler go… I sucked up my emotions and went back downstairs to Katy. It’s all my fault, I had no right to cry.
“Anna I’m sure he’s just blowing off steam, he’s probably on his way back,” Katy assures me and hands me a glass of water. “It’s not your fault, you’re going through a lot and Tyler understands that.”
I gulp down the cool water hoping it will calm me down, I already have my wolf furious at me for hitting him. I guess I let my human emotions take over.
“I’m going to go find him.” I set the empty glass on the counter and look up at Katy.
“Oh no your not!” Her face turned serious and she crossed her arms over her chest. “Not when you have people after you, plus it’s night time.”
“But I want him, I want to let him know how sorry I am-”
“He wouldn’t want you to go out in the woods, at night, with people after you, he would want you to be safe.”
I knew she was right, I mean Tyler wouldn’t even let Katy and I got to the mall alone. I just miss him so much, I’m craving him, just to have him here.
Why would he still want me here anymore, I’m a crapy mate and Luna.
“He loves you, Anna, he would never let you go.” She assures me. “It’s late, we should get to bed.”
“Ya, I’ll be up in a bit.”
“Okay just don’t stay up too late.” Katy heads upstairs and I walked into the living room. I laid down on the couch, I grabbed the throw pillow and blanket and curled up on the couch. There is no way I could sleep in our bed alone.
I was half asleep when I felt warm arms scoop me up, comfort flooded my body. I grabbed onto his shirt and breathed in his addicting cologne.
“I’m sorry,” I whisper, not opening my eyes.
“Shh, I love you, Anna.” His husky voice filled my ears like a love song.
Suddenly I was placed on our soft bed and I curled up under the covers. The bed dipped down and Tyler pulled me into his embrace.
“I love you too.” I turned my head to face him.
He leaned in and gently kissed my lips, I turned back and he moved my hair away from my face. He gently kissed behind my ear before the tiredness consumed me.

“Hey, Katy have you seen my phone?” I ask eagerly while going through my purse.
