Wolf's Curse

Chapter Twenty Seven

Chapter Twenty Seven

I took a sharp breath, even though it hurt too. I rested my head back onto the seat. My chest was rising up and down, as I tried to breathe properly. I felt a migraine lessen for a second before it increases again.

I unclenched my fingers from the tight fist I had since we left the restaurant. My body let out a shiver at the thought of what happened there. I felt the car stop, I wanted to get out but I couldn't. It was almost like I didn't have control over my own body.

My vision was bad because of the tears that were streaming down my face and they were half closed. I felt Leon pick me up and vaguely see him getting into the elevator. I didn't know what was going around me anymore.  

My hands were shaking uncontrollably. I swallowed the lump in my throat I felt a burning sensation go from my throat to my chest. It was as if I had drunk something, but I hadn't. I could hear the faint voice of Leon but I ignored it as the burning sensation in my chest increased once again.

I felt a prick on my arm, slowly I felt sleep consume me. The last thing I remembered was the promise the dark voice had said to me, which was to kill everybody around me.

I opened my eyes to the white colour of my ceiling. I blinked a few times before slowly getting up from the bed. I rubbed my eyes, trying to get the blurriness out of it. I pushed the covers off my body and got out of bed.

I switched on my phone to see it was nine thirty in the morning. My eyes widened when I notice today's day. Quickly I go to my bathroom and took a shower. I ran to the kitchen to get something to eat when I saw Leon leaning against the kitchen counter. He looked up from his phone.

"Good morning." His voice was soft but held a certain edge to it, almost like he was suspicious of something.

"Good morning!" I replied in a much more chirpy tone than I meant to. I quickly opened the cupboard trying to find something that was easy but filling at the same time.

"What are you looking for?"

"I missed my first lecture and my second lecture is in thirty minutes. I need to eat, get to the campus on time and find the room my lecture is in." As I said aloud everything I realised that I needed to take a deep breath and calm down before I lost all the self-control I had. I didn't know how I could have forgotten to put an alarm, but somehow I did.

"It was only the first lecture; you won't have missed much especially since this your first year."

"Are you sure?" I asked worriedly.

"I am sure, trust me." Something in the way he said trust me made me feel safe. It was almost like he was making a promise to me, but without saying the actual words.

"Are you feeling alright?" Leon suddenly asked with concern. 

"I am feeling alright. Why?" I asked suspiciously.

"Do you remember anything from last night?"

I thought about it for a few seconds and realised I couldn't remember anything from the night before. I didn't know if it was about me having a bad memory or it was if something had happened to me the night before. I tried to think back to last night but all I could remember was leaving for the jog with Julie. Everything after that was blank. It was almost like my memories had been erased from my brain.

"I don't remember anything. What happened last night?" The sound of my heart beating became louder as I felt panic take over my body. I didn't need to think to know the person that had taken my memories away.

"We went on a date last night. Everything was fine- no everything was going great. I got to know so much about you and you got to know so much about me. We both had wanted to go away from all the problems around us, so I took us to this restaurant only for werewolves. We were about to order for dessert when a migraine started in your head. Within seconds you were groaning in pain and tears were streaming down your face. I wanted- no needed to help you so I drove as fast I could back to the apartment and injected you with a medicine that would make the pain go away."

My eyes widen at all this information. I couldn't believe that I had forgotten such an eventful night. I wanted to ask Leon questions about what medicine he had given me and how he knew that it would take the pain away but, I didn't have time because my next lecture was soon. I sighed loudly and picked up my bag that I had dropped onto the floor.

I heaved it over my shoulders and raised my head to meet Leon's bright green eyes that were staring at me alluringly. I felt a small flutter in my stomach and I knew that whatever feelings I had for Leon were only becoming stronger by each second that I spend with him.

"I need to go to my lecture. Can we talk later?" I could still the racing of my heart but this time it wasn't because of panic but because of the slowly increasing sexual tension in the room.

"I will be waiting." As I walked out my dorm, I couldn't help but glance back and think there was a double meaning to what he said.

***

I stood up from my chair and packed up all my books. I glanced behind me to see Jake still staring at me. I picked up my bag and rushed to down the stairs, trying to put as much distance between him and me.

The hallways were full of buzz and excitement as everybody talked about their first lecture for the year. As soon as I had seen Jake today I knew that something bad was going to happen to me and somehow it was going to Jake who caused it.

I turned around to see if Jake was following me but he wasn't. I felt relief wash over me and couldn't help but feel like I had overreacted. I slowed down my pace and let all my thoughts that I had caged inside run free. All sorts of questions and worries were swarming through my head but I didn't let that disturb the good mood I was having.

I turned left to the hallway that leads to the elevators. My good mood vanished when I saw Jake leaning against the wall, staring at me with a small smirk on his lips, almost like he had been expecting this. He walked towards where I was standing. When he was right in front of me he leaned to my ear and whispered something that made my blood run cold.

"I know your secret."
