I remember us alone
Waiting for the light to go
Don't you feel that hunger
I've got, so many secrets to show
When I saw you on that stage
I shiver with the look you gave
Don't you hear that rhythm, can you
Show me how we can escape.”

- Olivia -

"Go away!" I muttered, pulling the duvet over my head as I tried to catch some more sleep.

"

Oli! Wake up!" A voice hissed and I mumbled profanities in my sleep.

"Jusht 5 more minuteshh..." I muttered, pressing my face in the pillow, getting lost in the softness.

"Oh my god you are such a heavy sleeper," I heard someone complain before I was picked up by my waist, out of the bed.

"Noooo!" I thrashed around dramatically as the sheets and comforter were pulled away from me but my attacker pain no head.

"Hush," he said and I whined.

He placed me on my feet but my eyes remained closed as I leaned on to the nearest comfortable object.

"Are you serious, Olivia? Stop sleeping on my shoulder!"

<><><>

"You, are evil." I accused as I pointed the spatula on the culprit.

He grinned sheepishly and raised his hands in surrender. "What?"

"You came in between my and my lover- sleep. How dare you?" I asked, folding my arms over my chest.

"Urm...I thought you loved me too?" Andrew said, as he seated himself on the dining table.

"I do! But me and sleep share a bond that no one can come in between."

Andrew chuckled but ignored me, changing the topic.

"So what are you making?" He asked, excitedly.

"Pancakes," I told him.

"Pancakes?" He frowned in confusion. "In dinner."

I shrugged. "They're too delicious to not eat everytime."

To say everyone in the pack house was disturbed when Andrew suddenly appeared was an understatement. Humans don't usually come here.

If they do however, they are welcome.

In early times, hunters used to be there, who were humans and harmed us werewolves. But centuries ago, they went extinct because vampires, werewolves and witches allied together against them.

Now, if humans come into pack houses, they are duly welcomed because they are considered harmless.

But the problem is that the people living inside have to become excessively careful and alert as no one can shift abruptly, growl or use werewolf terms like, "alpha" or "mate" in front of humans as it can hinder our secrecy.

We can't let the people know who we are because then they might try to kill us all, thinking we are dangerous.

Humans use nuclear weapons and guns whereas we believe in muscular strength.

Every member of the pack house gave me glares because I was the reason a human was in the house, disturbing their peace and I sighed.

Sometimes I wished I could tell Andrew. But it's not allowed. You can't disclose anything to a human until and unless it's your mate.
