The Bite

Chapter 8: That's New..

Afternoon [2:06 pm]
Saturday

   I ran along the sidewalk, speeding my way past any people passing by. I was a little further from my house than I thought but I did end up getting there. It was weird, it was like my body was actually tired.

   'It's the silver.' Meo voiced. 'Good to see you're still here.' I teased.

   'Whatever.' I could practically see the grin on his face. 'But still, I know silver is toxic to wolves but-'

   'Not wolves, lycans.' Meo interrupted. 'Excuse me?'

   'Wolfsbane is toxic to wolves, silver is toxins to lycans.' He said. 'So if the pack saw the silver then they-'

   'They think you're a lycan.' I sighed as I stood in front of my house. 'It's alright, just go with it. For now, get to your family.' He said. I nodded and walked up the steps. I took my key from my back pocket and inserted it into the lock.

   I stepped inside and was met with the familiar scent of cinnamon and perfume. "I'm home." I announced. It was a minute before I hear footsteps make their way downstairs. I let out a breath of relief when Mia is the only one to reach the steps. "Where is everyone?" I asked.

   "Jordans at soccer practice and Matteo is next door. And mom and dad went to work." She replied. "And why are you home, don't you have work?" I asked walking over to the stairs.

   "More like, where were you instead of home?" She smirked. I rolled my eyes, "it doesn't matter." I shrugged. "The hell it does." She voiced, following after me as I made my way to my room.

   "It's no big deal, you do it all the time." I said. "Exactly. Which gives me all the more reason to need to know where you were." She said.

   "I was with a friend." I said. We now stood in front of my door. "Mom already called TC and Julie. They said you weren't there." She said. "It was a different friend. Look he needed my help with something so I-"

   "He?" She scoffed. My eyes widened as she nodded her head. "Wait no, it's not like that!" I groaned. "Wait till mom finds out you were out all night with a boy!" She laughed. "Is that why you weren't answering your phone?!" She slapped her hand over her mouth. "Goodbye Mia." I groaned before walking into my room, slamming the door behind me.

   I made sure to lock it before going to lie on my bed. I fell face first and began scrolling through my phone. I texted Ash, TC and Jules to let them know that I'm ok. I then scrolled through insta for a bit before deciding to take a shower.

   Not going to lie, after I got out the shower I put on my bra and briefs before putting on some sweat pants. From there I spent a good 20 minutes flexing in my mirror. I just couldn't help myself as I've never seen my body like this before, and frankly it was very nice to look at.

   It was now 3 o'clock and any minute now mom and dad would be making their way home. I'm sure Mia had already told them about me coming home. So I just prepared myself for the storm that was soon to brew.

   And when I say prepared I mean spend the last 20 minutes cleaning every inch of the house. That includes dishes, trash, dusting, and organizing the fridge. I was putting the milk and eggs back into the fridge when I hear the front door open.
