The Angel and the Wolf (Completed)

Chapter 25

Mira was conflicted as to what she wanted to do. Did she want to be accepted as the Luna and make his, well their, pack a target? Or did she just want to reject him and leave? Both had their consequences, but both had their benefits, so it was a hard choice.

"Danger will happen if you do," Raphael said, causing Mira to glare up at him. There was a smirk on his face, his brown eyes filled with sadness. He hated how much pressure was placed on this "young" female, and he couldn't help but wonder if he would be able to help her choose.

"Stop reading my mind," she gritted out. She narrowed her eyes, her annoyance showing in her blue eyes. She hated it when people read her mind and tried to make sure that she didn't read anyone's mind on accident, even though it was hard on her. After a while, she just sighed and shook her head. "How bad?"

"Death and destruction. Not only for the Humans and Werewolves but for us as well."

Mira nodded her head and pursed her lips. She knew that the whole world would be in danger if they did not go together, or she could lose herself with giving herself to Tony. She had no idea what she wanted to do and was conflicted more now than she was. Mira groaned and ran a hand through her hair before looking at Tony. "Well?" she asked.

"Well, what?" Tony asked. He frowned and looked her up and down, not knowing as to what she was getting at. His nostrils flared as he crossed his arm across his chest, trying to get Mira to look at his muscles. "You made me lose the respect of my pack. Aren't you the one that is supposed to apologize to me?"

Mira couldn't help but roll her eyes and scoff at Tony's behavior. "Men," she grumbled, pursing her lips when Tony growled at her. After a while she shook her head, finally admitting defeat. She was sick and tired of Tony's attitude. She was sick of how he made her feel as if everything was her fault. "You know what?" she asked, finally, causing Raphael to stiffen. "Never mind. I thought that we could work things out between us, but I guess not." She turned away from Tony and took a deep breath to calm her frayed nerves.

"Are you sure?" Raphael asked, knowing what Mira was thinking. He studied the female and looked at her to see that she was upset and confused. His heart broke for her because he knew that all she wanted was to be accepted somewhere. "Do you want to do this?"

"Do what?" Tony asked. He looked at the two Angels, feeling for the first time afraid. He knew that there was something going on, and he didn't like it. Tony could feel his emotions going all over the place and couldn't help but wonder what was true and what was false.

"Go back Home," Mira replied, her voice cracking. She looked up at Tony, the tears that starting to fall. She opened her mouth to say something but stopped when no words escaped. She cleared her throat and sighed, looking down. "I am going Home. I'll be in contact with Jeff and Bella, but... I need to save people. I-I can't do this anymore."

Tony's face paled. Fear flickered through his eyes as he tried to stop his Wolf from taking control. He didn't want her to go, but a part of him did, and he couldn't understand why. "Does that mean you reject... me?"

Mira blinked back the tears that wanted to fall. She took a deep breath and stayed looking at the ground. "Isn't that what you want? For me to reject you, so you can go on with your party life?" She shivered in disgust, not liking the fact that the man she was destined for was a womanizer.

Tony sighed and moved a hand through his hair, his stubborn ego falling to show the man that wanted to be loved underneath. He shoved his "feelings" aside for a moment because he did not want to lose the one thing that might help his Wolf. "I screwed up, didn't I?" he asked.

"You can say that again," Mira muttered, wrapping her arms around her body. She shivered, hating the fact that she was going to give up. She never gave up, but she wasn't sure if she could stay there and face all the heartbreak. A tear fell from her eye, and she didn't bother wiping it away.

Tony sighed and took hold of her chin. He looked at her with such sincerity that it took Mira's breath away. Pain filled his eyes, and there was this haunting look in them as if he had lost someone, someone that was precious to him that caused him to act like an asshole. He looked... lost. "I'm sorry," he said, his voice soft. He moved his hand up Mira's face and wiped a tear that threatened to fall. "Raphael had..."

"Shown you the future or something?" Mira finished, her voice cracking. "Was it bad?"

Tony looked down and to the side. He didn't say a word but nodded his head.

"What are you going to do? Will you keep me or let me go?"

"Keep you," he said. There was a bitter smile on his face, and Mira couldn't help but wonder as to what he was thinking. "There was something that I did want to do when I first saw you, before... I thought you were weak and couldn't take care of yourself."

Mira couldn't help but purse her lips. She did not know if she wanted to take that as a compliment or not. She could tell that he was hiding something, something that he was afraid to show her. "What did you want to do?" she asked.

Tony leaned down so that they were looking in each other's eyes. A coy smile was on his mouth as he looked at her lips and then at her. "This," he whispered before kissing her.

Raphael cleared his throat, causing Tony to growl and pull away from her. "As much as I like seeing you kiss her, you both should be getting back," he said. He looked at Mira. "We will be in touch. I have given permission for you to look at the Angel Handbook." There was a smirk on his face. "Try not to burn it." With that, he disappeared, causing Mira to scowl.

"Burn the Angel Handbook?" Tony asked, looking at Mira confused.

Mira shrugged. "The first time that Nikolai and I were on a mission, he had left me after getting us noticed by a group of Vampire like creatures."

"I'm going to kill him," Tony growled, his eyes shifting to a darker color. Anger filled his eyes as the thought of his mate dying. He just got her, and he wasn't planning on letting her go.

Mira shook her head, smiling. She was amused, to say the least, but she wasn't going to let her guard down yet. She didn't know if this was a phase or not, and she hoped that it wasn't. "Grab my hand, I need to take you back before you are missed."

Tony nodded his head, a small smile on his lips. "All right," he said. He grabbed her hand, and Mira teleported them back to school and into a closet. "Kinky," Tony said, looking around a smirk on his face.

Mira rolled her eyes at his behavior. "It was the only way to make sure no one will see us."

Tony squeezed her hand, reassuring himself that she was there. "Let's go," he said. "We are late for class."
