Chapter 17 - I accept

I glanced around at everyone as they socialized with each other. My mother has brought all these people together and I was brought together with my family once more. When we arrived back at the house my mother did not realize that my father was also here. I wanted to cry at how relieved and happy my father looked when he saw her walking towards him... it was like watching the old age wash away, bringing back the teenager inside of him.

I turned to Tyler as he circled me. We had been focused on training ever since I got home and it was kind of refreshing... but at the same time I was not used to this side of Tyler. He looked like if he said one thing wrong then something would happen. I knew deep down that it was because of my sudden disappearance. I did not have much say in leaving but a part of me was so happy when I did get a chance to escape for a little bit.

"Are you focused?" he asked as his eyes glanced over me. There was a swirl that began to appear in his eyes, it was his wolf pushing his way through. I didn't want him to go easy on me anymore and he was doing what I asked.

I nodded my head and focused my emotions into my rage. I could see the red starting to fill my eyes as everything heightened. I could hear his heart beat more clearly, the sound of his heart drumming was another sign that his was about to shift. His short breathes soon took over the sound of his heart and it was like music to my ears... I could just listen to him all day. I then looked at his face, taking in the slightest twitch of his jaw and the small bead of sweat slowly making its way down his forehead. He was handsome...

"Stop looking at me like that Lucy," he mumbled lowly, averting his eyes. He coughed slightly and there was a slight pink tint on his cheeks. I heard him gulp and I couldn't help but laugh, he was flustered... it was so darn cute. "I am trying to focus on fighting, not kissing you."

I felt the butterflies enter my stomach and it was my turn to gulp. "S-sorry, I will stop." I shook my head and let the red take over fully this time, lunging at Tyler within seconds. I grabbed his shoulder and pushed down, causing him to lose his balance. I took this as my chance to end the fight and kicked his legs out from underneath him, placing my hands on his chest where his heart is. I could feel it beating at the same pace as mine. "How was that?" I asked.

His eyes met mine and did not move. "That was perfect," he placed his hand on the side of my face and brushed away a stray hair that fell out of my ponytail. He smiled lightly at me and there was a glisten in his eye. He reached up and placed a kiss on my nose, his minty fresh breath fanning my face.

I let out a small squeak and quickly stood up. I was about to reply when someone opened the screen door to the back porch, cutting us off short. "Sorry to interrupt your training session but I need to speak with Lucy."

I looked over at Chase and nodded my head, quickly making my way over to his side, I was hoping I wasn't in trouble or anything. I had honestly been training as hard as I could and the whole disappearing act was not my doing, I thought my mother would have cleared that up. My mind was going over every possible thing that could cause Chase to want to speak with me... all of them possibly ending very badly.
